Parliament was dissolved in 1878 under the pretext of the Russian War, and Abdul Hamid II reigned for more than 30 years as an absolute king until 1908, when parliament began its second term. The constitutional era, under the pressure of progressive forces in the empire, despite a reactionary uprising that began on April 13, 1909 (March 31, 1325 AH in the Roman calendar) caused the democratic process to be interrupted again.
