Abdul Majid II

Abdul Mejid II (also with various alternate spellings, including Abdul Majid) (b. 1868) was the 37th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, rising to the throne after the country emerged victorious from the Great War. He continued the policy of persecuting Armenians started early in 1915, despite the protestations of his country's ally, the United States. This practice tapored off over the 1920s.

Under Abdul Mejid, the Ottomans, albeit reluctantly, entered the Second Great War as a German ally.
