SORU:
What were the problems that the Ottoman Empire faced in the 16th and 17th centuries?
CEVAP: -
Russia grew stronger, threatening the Ottoman vassal state, the Crimean Khanate, and other Ottoman territories in the Balkans.
-
Portugal started colonizing India and fighting the Ottomans for the control of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean.
-
Other European kingdoms of Britain, France and Spain were soon establishing empires by colonizing the Americas.
-
There were some intermittent military failures that shattered the image of the invincible Turk in the European eyes, including the two failed Sieges of Vienna (1533, 1683), the failed Siege ofMalta (1565) and the lost sea battle at Lepanto (1571).
-
Coupled with losses against the Safavids and the Jelali revolts in Anatolia (1590-1610), these challenges appeared to mean that the Ottomans were losing the upper hand.
-
Soon, losses outside Vienna (1683) followed by another loss at Zenta (1695) culminated in the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699), which was a major blow to the Ottoman Empire.
