Overview
Osman II was Ottoman sultan from 1026 to 1031 AH (1617–1621 CE). He came to the throne after the deposition of his uncle Mustafa I when he was no more than thirteen years old. 1
The struggle with the Janissaries
He declared war on Poland over its interference in the affairs of the principality of Bogdan (Moldavia); peace was concluded in 1029 AH at Poland's request and at the request of the Janissaries, who were weary of fighting. Angered by this, he resolved to rid himself of that corps, ordered fresh armies raised in the provinces of Asia and set about training and organizing them. The Janissaries learned of it, mutinied and agreed to depose him, which they did on 9 Rajab 1031 AH (20 May 1622 CE); they restored Mustafa I to the throne and killed Osman II. Some verses of his poetry survive in the historians. 1
