The problem is that 1715 contradicts the date of the Austro-Turkish War (1716–1718). These wikis give 1715: en:,ru:,tu:,uk: (15dec). These give 1716: fr: (dec), br:, ca: (nov). Howorth has 1715 as does Gaivoronsky’s family tree. All sources say Kara Devlet came to power in 1716, fr: and tu: giving December of that year. Smirnov says Kara Devlet was appointed toward the end of Dhu Al Hajjah 1129. This Islamic month ended on 04dec1717, but elsewhere Smirnov speaks of his delay in the German war of 1128AH (1716), has a meeting to decide Qaplan’s fate on 02dec1716 and twice gives the transition year as 1716, so his Islamic year is probably off by one. Howorth says he was deposed because of the Turkish defeat at ‘Vardin’, which must be Petrovaradin. Ru: and those that follow it say the khan was late in reaching the Hungarian border. Ca: says that Selyamet rather than the khan went. Smirnov has the khan meet the retreating Turkish army south of Belgrade.
Given this, the most reasonable account seems to be: “The Turks declared war on Austria in April 1716 and called on the Crimeans for help. The beys resisted callup, there were delays and he, or Selyamet, arrived too late to help the Turks who were defeated at Petrovaradin in August 1716. The Turks blamed everyone in sight and after some delay removed Qaplan in late 1716.” However, this is not enough evidence to to change a date found in the major sources.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 05:51, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
