Quick Summary

The Liberal Union was a political coalition in the Ottoman Empire that briefly succeeded the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) in 1912. The CUP, which had gained prominence in Ottoman politics, was forced out of office due to military losses and army hostility. The Liberal Union then took power but also lost support following defeats in the Balkans. This led to a CUP coup in January 1913, re-establishing Unionist control. The term "Liberal Unionist" also refers to a historical British political group that separated from the Liberals in the late 19th century over opposition to Irish home rule.123
