As a war minister and de facto Commander-in-Chief (despite only being the de jure Deputy Commander-in-Chief, as the Sultan formally held the title), Enver Pasha was considered to be the most powerful figure of the government of the Ottoman Empire or "the number one man in Istanbul" as many referred to him. Back at home he was hailed as "the hero of revolution", Germans were speaking of Turkey as "Enverland" and the British referred to him as "the one whose power was absolute and ambitions were grandiose".
