Ottoman Liberal Party

The Ottoman Liberal Party was a political group in late Ottoman Empire (early 20th century) advocating for modernization, constitutional governance, and greater political freedoms. It supported reforms to limit absolute monarchy, promote civil liberties, and encourage economic development. The party was part of broader efforts to modernize the empire amid regional and international pressures, often balancing traditional Ottoman interests with the desire for progress. Its members included intellectuals and modernizers seeking a more representative government, making it an important force in the empire's transition toward constitutionalism and modernization before the empire's collapse.
