Abstract
In the 18th and in the first three decades of the 19th century the pashalik of Baghdad was a virtually autonomous border province of the Ottoman Empire. Since 1749 a so-called Mamlūk dynasty had ruled in Baghdad. It had been prepared since 1702 by two exceptionally long governing wālīs, Ḥasan Pasha and his son Aḥmad Pasha (1702-1724 and 1724-1747 respectively), who achieved strong political and military power.
