During the 1500s and 1600s, the Ottoman Empire reached the height of its power, becoming a dominant force in both Europe and the Middle East. This period, particularly under Suleiman the Magnificent, saw territorial expansion, military conquests, and cultural flourishing. However, by the late 1600s, the empire began to face challenges, including military defeats, internal strife, and rising competition from European powers, which gradually marked the beginning of its long-term decline.

The Ottoman Empire's borders fluctuated over time but it was based in what is today Turkey. They also controlled various parts of the Middle East, Northern Africa, and the Balkans at one point or another.
The invaders who conquered the Arabian Peninsula in the 1500s and established the Ottoman Empire originated from modern-day Turkey and surrounding regions. The Ottomans, a Turkish dynasty, expanded their empire through military conquests, incorporating vast territories in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeastern Europe. Their expansion into the Arabian Peninsula was part of a broader campaign to control key trade routes and Islamic holy cities.

At the beginning of the 1500s, there were three main countries in the Middle East: the Ottoman Sultanate (Turkey), the Safavid Empire (Iran, Iraq, and Azerbaijan), and the Mamluk Sultanate (Egypt, the Levant, and Hejaz). The remainder of the Arabian Peninsula was controlled by some Bedouin tribes and small/insignificant kingdoms, like Fartak and Oman. In 1517, the Ottoman Sultanate conquered the Mamluk Sultanate and acquired all of its territories.
Ottoman Empire
By the late 1500s, the Ottoman Empire governed an extensive area that stretched from Eastern Europe, including parts of the Balkans, to much of the Middle East, encompassing modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. It also included North Africa, covering regions like Egypt and Libya. This vast empire was a significant political and cultural power, influencing trade and interactions between Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Ottomans capitalized on their strategic location, controlling key trade routes and cities.
