Şehzade Mehmed Abdülkerim

Şehzade Abdülkerim Efendi or Abdul Kerim Efendi (1906–1935) was an Ottoman prince, son of the 34th Ottoman sultan, Abdul Hamid II by his third wife Bedrifelek Kadınefendi. In 1933, Abdul Kerim was invited to Japan by their government, presumably with an eye towards leveraging his status as the Ottoman pretender to aid the Japanese Empire in outreach to Central Asian Muslims in conflict with the Soviet Union.[1][2][3]
