Editing Zouave (section)

==Other zouave units==
* Between 1880 and 1908 the Turkish Imperial Guard included two zouave regiments. The Abdul Hamid II Collection in the US [[Library of Congress]] has a number of photographs of these soldiers. They wore a uniform similar to that of the French zouaves but with green turbans and less widely cut red breeches. The Ottoman Zouaves were disbanded following the [[Young Turks]] coup of 1908, when the Imperial Guard was reduced to a ceremonial palace unit.<ref>New York Times 27 December 1908</ref>
* Under the [[Empire of Brazil]], a battalion of black volunteers, called the ''"Zuavos da Bahia"'' ([[Bahia]]n Zouaves) was organized in 1865.<ref>{{cite book|first=Gabriele|last=Esposito|page=46|title=Armies of the War of the Triple Alliance 1864-70|date=24 March 2015|publisher=Bloomsbury USA |isbn=978-1-4728-0725-0}}</ref> Although such use drew on a long tradition of black men's service to the Brazilian monarchy and State, both government and army soon rejected such segregated units, scattering its men along other units.<ref>Ibidem - Kraay, 2004</ref>
* During his campaign of 1860 against the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]], [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]]'s [[Redshirts (Italy)|Redshirts]] included a  volunteer battalion designated as the Calabrian Zouaves (''Zuavvi Calabesi'').<ref>{{cite book|first=Gabriele|last=Esposito|page=36|title=Armies of the War of the Italian Wars of Unification 1848–70 (2)|date=21 August 2018|publisher=Bloomsbury USA |isbn=978-1-4728-2624-4}}</ref>
* In 1879, at the advent of the [[War of the Pacific]], [[Peru]]'s Batallón “Zuavos” Nº10 was one of the units which took part in the [[coup d'etat]] which brought [[Nicolás de Piérola]] into power as the country's "Supreme Commander in Chief".<ref name="zuavos">{{cite web|title=Batallón "Zepita" Nº 29 de Línea (ex Zuavos de Lima), Perú (1881)|website=Zouavos del mundo|url=https://zuaus.blogspot.com/2019/09/batallon-zepita-n-29-de-linea-ex-zuavos.html|date=September 2019|accessdate=26 November 2023}}</ref> Piérola immediately reorganized the army for the defense of the capital,<ref name="Basadre">{{cite web| author= Basadre, Jorge| year= 2000| title= La Verdadera Epopeya| url= http://www.unjbg.edu.pe/basadre/| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081010170132/http://www.unjbg.edu.pe/basadre/| archive-date= 10 October 2008| url-status= dead}}</ref> and the Batallón “Zuavos” Nº29 de Línea was merged into the II Army Corps under the command of Colonel [[Belisario Suárez]].<ref name="zuavos"/> It was later renamed Batallón “Zepita” Nº29, and as such took part in the [[Battle of San Juan and Chorrillos]] on 13 January 1881.<ref name="Basadre"/><ref name="zuavos"/> Another Zouave unit which took part in the battle was the Batallón Nº1 de Zouavos de Lima.<ref name="histomilitar">{{cite book|author=Ejército de Chile| year=2015|title=Cuaderno de Historia Militar, Nº 11|pages=54, 60|url=https://www.ejercito.cl/descargas/mobile/MTUx}}</ref>
