The «El Daheeh» episode explores the origins of the Ottoman Janissaries as a military force loyal to the sultan. Its members were initially recruited from prisoners of war and later through the «devshirme» system. Over time, however, their influence grew into political interference: they deposed ministers and governors and killed sultans. As their military role waned, corruption spread and they resisted reform, Sultan Mahmud II spent 18 years preparing to confront them. On June 14, 1826, he crushed their revolt in Istanbul with the artillery of the «Topçu» corps, in an event known as the «Auspicious Incident».
