In 1453, the Ottomans captured Constantinople which really
made them the most powerful group in the area. Ardoun this time as well they reached
the peak of their powers beginning to control all of the Mediterranean Sea under the
leadership of Suleiman.
At the height of their powers, they
controlled southeastern Europe all the way to what we know as the city of Vienna and all
of the Grecian peninsula and all of what we currently label Iraq and Iran as well as
farther south all the way around the Red Sea and then farther west to Egypt and a slive
of North Africa, strengthened by their naval control of the Mediterranean
Sea.
