Quick Summary

Hasan Paşa was an Ottoman governor of Iraq in the early 18th century. He and his son, Ahmed Paşa, established a Georgian mamluk (slave) household that administered the province. Hasan Paşa was noted for curbing unruly tribes and remitting tribute to Istanbul, while Ahmed Paşa defended Iraq against Iranian threats. Their rule extended beyond Baghdad to include other regions, strengthening their control over northern trade routes and revenue sources. This period saw the Mamluk regime in Iraq become increasingly autonomous, suppressing revolts and restoring order.1
