Ahmed Muhtar Pasha vs Jackie Fisher

Ahmed Muhtar Pasha commanded Ottoman forces in the Caucasus campaign against Russia during the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish War. He achieved initial victories at the Battle of Kizil-Tepe but was ultimately forced to retreat after the fall of Erzurum.

Ahmed Muhtar Pasha was appointed Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire in July 1912, leading the 'Great Cabinet' government. His administration lasted only four months, falling in October 1912 due to the outbreak of the First Balkan War.

Ahmed Muhtar Pasha resigned as Grand Vizier on October 29, 1912, following the Ottoman Empire's military defeats in the First Balkan War. His resignation marked the end of the 'Great Cabinet' and the return of the Committee of Union and Progress to power.

As First Sea Lord, Fisher implemented sweeping reforms of the Royal Navy. He scrapped obsolete ships, concentrated the fleet in home waters, improved training, and introduced new technologies like submarines and destroyers. These reforms modernized the Navy.

As First Sea Lord, Fisher oversaw the design and construction of HMS Dreadnought, a revolutionary battleship with an all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion. This ship rendered all previous battleships obsolete and triggered a global naval arms race.

Fisher resigned as First Sea Lord in protest over the Dardanelles campaign, which he opposed. His resignation caused a political crisis and weakened the government of H.H. Asquith. He was replaced by Henry Jackson.
