Definition of - selim in English English dictionary
Selim: born Dec. 24, 1761, Constantinople, Ottoman Empire died July 29, 1808, Constantinople Ottoman sultan (r. 1789-1807). He inherited the throne during a losing war with Austria and Russia (1787-92), with whom he later signed treaties. Napoleon I's invasion of Egypt in 1798 drove him into an alliance with Britain and Russia, but, impressed with Napoleon's successes, he switched sides in 1806. At home he attempted tax and land reform and established a European-style military corps, but, unable to enforce his reforms in the face of mutinies among the Janissaries and other units, he rescinded them. He was promptly overthrown and was strangled on the orders of his successor, Mustafa IV
