The edited version would be: In an effort to consolidate the weakening empire, Mahmud II started a period of modernisation in the early 19th century.[19] The Young Turk Revolution of 1908 brought limitations to the authority of the Ottoman Sultan, allocating power to the Ottoman Parliament, and ushered the empire into a multi-party period. The 1913 coup d'état effectively put the country under the control of the Three Pashas, who were largely responsible for the Empire's entry into World War I in 1914.
