The last glaciation, known as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), occurred approximately 20,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. It was a period of extensive ice coverage and cooler temperatures compared to the present day.
The Great lakes went through glaciation many thousands of years ago.
Geologists believe that the last ice age, known as the Pleistocene glaciation, was caused by variations in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, leading to periods of cooling and glaciation. This resulted in large ice sheets covering much of North America, Europe, and Asia.
The last ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum, peaked around 26,500 years ago. This period marked the coldest and most extensive phase of glaciation during the Pleistocene epoch.

The last ice age peaked around 20,000 years ago. It was a period of extensive glaciation when large portions of Earth's surface were covered in ice sheets.

The Ice Age.
Glaciation
The Ottoman Empire did not exist during the last glaciation which ended about 10,000 years ago.
The last period of glaciation had an indirect impact on agriculture as humans were hunter/gatherers during that time, agriculture only starting after the end of the glaciation. In high latitudes debris from the glaciers would have affected the types of soil available for farming and river courses also may have been altered by the ice.

Not all landforms were formed by glaciers during the last glaciation but most of those in high latitudes were, including mountainous regions in lower latitudes.
Well for one thing, it didn't. The definition of Ice Age is a period of extensive glaciation with brief interglacials between the points of highest glaciation. By that definition we're are still in the middle of an ice age, a warm bit of one, but still in one. If we weren't in an Ice Age there would be no glacials, whatsoever.

Who cares and why should I know well it was in the last time when I was born
glaciers move with tremendous force, glaciers advance and retreat, and last but not least, they covered all of Canada and some of New York city :)
