Trabluslu Ali Pasha (''Ali Pasha the Tripolitan''; died February 1804), also known as Cezayirli Ali Pasha (''Ali Pasha the Algerian'') or Seydi Ali Pasha, was an Ottoman statesman. He served as the Ottoman governor of Egypt from July 1803 to February 1804. ==Background== Ali Pasha was born in the city of Tripoli (in modern-day Libya), then controlled by the Ottoman Empire and administered under the Tripolitania eyalet ((トルコ語:Trablusgarp)).〔 He was "fair-complexioned," had an "immense blond beard and mustaches," and had Turkish as his native tongue, speaking very little Arabic. He was a slave owned by a governor of Ottoman Algeria ((トルコ語:Cezayir)) named Mehmed Pasha but eventually rose to a post in the provincial government.〔 After procuring a ship, Ali Pasha sailed to his hometown of Tripoli and briefly wrested control of the Tripolitania province from the long-ruling Karamanli dynasty (a rebellious Turkish dynasty) for the Ottoman Empire. The inhabitants of the province reportedly helped him gain control of Tripolitania, since they realized that he was the legitimate Ottoman governor (instead of the usurping Karamanli family).〔 However, Ali Pasha's men pillaged Tripoli and angered the populace, who then reinstated the Karamanlis as rulers and ousted Ali Pasha. Ali Pasha then went to Egypt. There, he became intimate friends with the Mamluk emir Murad Bey, who had held ''de facto'' power over Egypt for decades. Ali Pasha then went on the Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca, and there, he was allegedly discovered to be engaging in sexual intercourse with a young boy that he had kidnapped from Tripoli, after which many of the pilgrims attacked him, cut off his beard, and nearly killed him.〔 After the Hajj, Ali Pasha returned to Egypt and stayed as Murad Bey's guest for several years until the arrival of the French in 1798.〔〔 He fought with the Mamluk emirs against the French and escaped with them to southern Egypt during the French rule. He then returned to Istanbul, the Ottoman capital.〔 After hearing about the overthrow of the governor Koca Hüsrev Mehmed Pasha in 1803, Ali Pasha asked to be made the governor of Egypt, even though it appeared as though the Albanian troops had taken control of the province from the Ottomans.〔 Thus, in June 1803, he became a vizier and was appointed the Ottoman governor of Egypt.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trabluslu Ali Pasha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
