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.
