Best Answer

Sultan Mehmed V ruled the Ottoman Empire for most of the war; he died of old age about four months before the war ended. His younger brother Mehmed VI ruled for the last four months of the war and a few years thereafter. The sultanate was abolished in 1922, and the Ottoman Empire became the Republic of Turkey, which it still is to this day.

However, there was a coup d'etat in 1913 that resulted in the Sultan having virtually no power. The de facto rulers of the empire were the "Three Pashas"- "Pasha" was a kind of very high-ranking royal official. The three men were Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver, and Ahmed Djemal. These three men dominated the government until the end of World War I, at which point, keeping it very short, a republic was organized, which was governed by a famous Turkish military leader named Mustafa Kemal, also known as Atatürk.
