On this day (November 1, 1922 CE), the Ottoman Sultanate was officially abolished by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
The last Ottoman Sultan & half-brother of Sultan Abdulhamid II, Mehmed VI Vahideddin
was forced into exile on 17 November, 1922 CE. The position of the Caliphate would endure until March 1924 CE with Sultan Mehmed’s cousin and the son of Sultan Abdülaziz – Caliph Abdülmejid II – reigning as the last Ottoman Caliph, though the position (also) then had no real power.
