Auspicious Incident
The Auspicious Incident (or Event〔Goodwin, pp. 296–299.〕) (Turkish: (in Istanbul) ''Vaka-i Hayriye'' "Fortunate Event"; (in Balkans) ''Vaka-i Şerriyye'', "Unfortunate Incident") was the forced disbandment of the centuries-old Janissary corps by Sultan Mahmud II on 15 June 1826.〔Kinross, pp. 456–457〕〔Shaw, pp. 19–20〕 Most of the 135,000 Janissaries revolted against Mahmud II, and after the rebellion was suppressed, its leaders killed, and many members exiled or imprisoned, the Janissary corps was disbanded and replaced with a more modern military force.
==Background==
Since the early 17th century, the Janissary corps had ceased to function as an elite military unit. Many Janissaries were not soldiers and simply extorted money from the Turkish state and dictated its government, adding to the steady decline of the Ottoman Empire. Any sultan who attempted to modernize the Ottoman military structure and replace the Janissaries was either immediately killed or deposed.〔http://www.gozlemci.net/5611-vaka-i-hayriye-hayirli-olay.html〕 Over time it became clear that in order for the Ottoman Empire to compete with the military powers of Europe it needed to create a modern military and dismantle the Janissary. The number of Janissaries grew from 20,000 in 1575, to 49,000 (1591), and 135,000 in 1826.
