First Egyptian–Ottoman War
A vassal defeats his overlord and nears Istanbul
Muhammad Ali, Pasha of Egypt, demanded Syria from the Sultan; his son Ibrahim Pasha took Acre and Damascus and in December 1832 crushed the Ottoman army at Konya. The alarmed Sultan turned to Russia for help, and the Peace of Kütahya in 1833 gave Egypt Syria and Palestine.
