The Battle of Konya was fought on December 21, 1832, between Egypt 🇪🇬 and the Ottoman Empire 🇹🇷, just outside the city of Konya in modern-day Turkey.

The Egyptians were led by Ibrahim Pasha, while the Ottomans were led by Reşid Mehmed Pasha.

The Egyptians victory paved the way to lay siege to Constantinople itself as the Ottoman main army was defeated however Muhammad Ali Pacha decided to have the Ottomans sign a treaty that gives Egypt independence from the Ottoman empire.

The development of Egypt during Muhammad Ali's era earned him the title of "Last Of Egypt's Pharaohs"
