A capable man, he rose to the rank of beylerbey by the age of 24 and served as general against the Venetians and the Habsburg monarchy and as governor in several provinces. His career eventually brought his appointment to the position of Grand Vizier in 1731–32. After his dismissal, he was sent to a provincial governorship, but was soon recalled to lead the Ottoman troops in the Ottoman–Persian War of 1730–35. He succeeded in defeating Nader Shah and saving Baghdad in 1733, but clashed with Nader for a second time and was decisively defeated in the Battle of Kirkuk (1733), in which he lost his life.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1663","date":"1663"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Morea","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1196055"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"1733","date":"1733"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Kirkuk","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173310"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Ottoman Empire","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12560"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P106"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"seraglio","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1170287"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"grand vizier (21 September 1731 – 12 March 1732)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18811","start":"1731-09-21","end":"1732-03-12"},{"text":"Beylerbey of Bosnia (1727–1728)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50839916","start":"1727","end":"1728"},{"text":"Beylerbey of Bosnia (1720–1720)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50839916","start":"1720-03-10","end":"1720"},{"text":"Beylerbey of Rumelia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q51574974"},{"text":"Beylerbey of Bosnia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50839916"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topal_Osman_Pasha","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Topal Osman Pasha born?","a":"Topal Osman Pasha was born on 1663 in Morea."},{"q":"What positions has Topal Osman Pasha held?","a":"Positions held by Topal Osman Pasha include: grand vizier (1731–1732); Beylerbey of Bosnia (1727–1728); Beylerbey of Bosnia (1720–1720); Beylerbey of Rumelia; Beylerbey of Bosnia."},{"q":"Where did Topal Osman Pasha study?","a":"Topal Osman Pasha was educated at seraglio."}],"related":[{"name":"Ahmed Cevad Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ahmed-cevad-pasha"},{"name":"Mehmed Emin Âli Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mehmed-emin-ali-pasha"},{"name":"Ba Ahmed","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ba-ahmed"},{"name":"Köprülüzade Fazıl Mustafa Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/kopruluzade-fazl-mustafa-pasha"},{"name":"Lala Mustafa Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/lala-mustafa-pasha"},{"name":"Abu'l-Hasan Asaf Khan","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/abu-l-hasan-asaf-khan"},{"name":"Hadım Sinan Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hadm-sinan-pasha"},{"name":"Gazi Hüseyin Pasha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gazi-huseyin-pasha"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/topal-osman-pasha-3e4d663945.jpg","width":500,"height":568,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Topal_Osman_Pa%C5%9Fa.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Topal Osman Pasha","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topal_Osman_Pasha","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q1584764","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1584764","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Topal Osman Paşa.jpg by Unknown author Unknown author (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Topal_Osman_Pa%C5%9Fa.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Topal Osman Pasha, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
