Selim III søgte at genoprette osmannisk magt gennem Nizam-ı Cedid, eller “New Order”, og skabe en hær trænet efter europæiske principper og reformere statens finanser. Hans regeringstid udfoldede sig midt i krige med Rusland og Østrig, Napoleons invasion af Egypten og voksende uro i provinserne. Modstanden mod hans reformer forenede truede interesser, herunder janitsarerne. Et oprør afsatte ham i 1807, men hans program var med til at bane vejen for senere osmannisk modernisering.
