The Ottoman army attempted to reconquer Syria in 1839, but was routed by the Egyptians. To make matters even worse for the Ottomans, the Sultan died just days later - to be succeeded by his teenage son - and the entire Ottoman fleet defected to Egypt. With the Ottoman Empire apparently on the verge of collapse, the Great Powers stepped in. In 1840 they issued the Convention of London, demanding that Egypt abandon its conquests and accept Ottoman suzerainty.
