Daud Pasha
Daud Pasha ( Georgian დაუდ ფაშა , * 1797 ; † 1851 ) was the last Mamluk ruler of Iraq in the Ottoman Empire . After his unsuccessful rebellion against the central power in 1831, the political prerogatives of the Mamluks in the province were abolished. He came from a Mamluk family of Georgian descent.
Daud Pascha tried analogous to Muhammad Ali Pascha , the governor of Egypt , to modernize his country economically, administratively and militarily. He dominated the political stage by means of coercive measures. So he had numerous tribal leaders expelled and replaced by him suitable candidates. His campaigns against Kurdish separatists were a factor in the outbreak of the Ottoman Empire's war with Persia from 1821 to 1823, which ended in an Ottoman defeat.
After another defeat of the empire in the war against Russia from 1828 to 1829 , Daud Pasha saw the central power as so weakened that he dared a rebellion. However, he was quickly defeated by an expeditionary army under Ali Reza Pasha, the governor of Aleppo . Daud was deposed and the Mamluk rule ended. Daud himself, however, was rehabilitated and appointed to various subordinate posts. He died in the office of guardian of the holy places in Medina in Hejaz .
