Ottoman empire was the strongest power in the Renaissance times , we were the strongest empire in 16th and 17th century but second siege of vienna killed and drained our resources etc and by 1700 our expansion stopped but even in 1700 we were very strong 1800+ we were very sharp decline 1880+ dissolution in the times of first siege of vienna we were the superpower ( even western historians etc say this many proofs) -- In 1875, during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, the Ottoman Navy had 21 battleships and 173 other types of warships, ranking as the third largest navy in the world after the British and French navies. e.g mahmudiye ship was the biggest ship for a very long time , even i play a game called Empire total war which is 1700+ to like 1800 and ottoman empire is a very strong nation and now i conquered all of safavid persia on the game but financially nearly dead as very high upkeep cost of army its very realistic
