The counter-coup, led by a certain Dervish Vahdeti, reigned supreme in İstanbul for a few days. It was put down by Hareket Ordusu (The Army of Action) constituted in urgency with troops stationed in the Balkans and which rapidly departed from Selanik. Among the officers who entered the capital was Mustafa Kemal.
A few weeks after the re-establishment of order, Sultan Abdul Hamid II himself was deposed and sent to exile in Selanik, and replaced by his brother Mehmed V Reşad.

Famous quotes containing the word event:
“The situation is that of him who is helpless, cannot act, in the event cannot paint, since he is obliged to paint. The act is of him who, helpless, unable to act, acts, in the event paints, since he is obliged to paint.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“When little boys grown patient at last, weary,
Surrender their eyes immeasurably to the night,
The event will rage terrific as the sea;
Their bodies fill a crumbling room with light.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
