Abd-ul-Hamid I was imprisoned for the first forty-three years of his life by his older brother Mustafa III as was custom and received his early education from his mother Rabia Semi Sultana, where he studied history and learned calligraphy.
His imprisonment had made him aloof in regards to state affairs as malleable to the designs of his advisors. Yet he was also very religious and a pacifist by nature. At his accession the financial straits of the treasury were such that the usual donative could not be given to the janissaries. War was, however, forced on him, and less than a year after his accession the complete defeat of the Turks at Battle of Kozluja led to the treaty of Kuchuk-Kainarji on July 21, 1774. Pacifism is the opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes. ...

In spite of his failures, Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid I was regarded as the most gracious Sultan of the Ottomans. He administrated the fire brigade during the fire in 1782. In Istanbul, he won the admiration of his people as he was so religious that he was called a "Veli" (saint). He also traced a reform policy, followed the governmental administrations closely and worked with statesmen. When Abd-ul-Hamid I came to the throne, the army asked for gratuity, and the Sultan claimed that; "There is no longer, gratuities in our treasury, all of our soldier sons should learn". He also began the restoration of the military system. He is credited with better education standards. He tried to renovate the yeniceri corps and the naval forces. He established a new artillery troop. He made a census in the yeniceri corps.

Slight successes against rebellious outbreaks in Syria and the Morea could not compensate for the loss of the Crimea, which Russia greatly coveted. War was evident once more in 1787, when war was again declared against Russia, joined in the following year by Austria. The Swedes also joined the conflict on the side of the Ottomans. While the Ottomans held their own in the conflict, they ultimately lost, with Ochakov falling in 1788 to the Russians. The Morea and surrounding states carved from the Byzantine Empire, as they were in 1265 (William R. Shepherd, Historical Atlas, 1911) The name Morea (Μωρέας) for Peloponnesos first appears in the 10th century in Byzantine chronicles. ...
