Under <a href="/wiki/Suleiman_the_Magnificent" title="Suleiman the Magnificent">Suleiman the Magnificent</a> (1520–1566), the empire reached the peak of its power, prosperity, and political development. By the start of the 17th century, the Ottomans presided over <a href="/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_the_Ottoman_Empire" title="Administrative divisions of the Ottoman Empire">32 provinces</a> and numerous <a href="/wiki/Vassal_and_tributary_states_of_the_Ottoman_Empire" title="Vassal and tributary states of the Ottoman Empire">vassal states</a>, which over time were either absorbed into the Empire or granted various degrees of autonomy.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>m<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With its capital at <a href="/wiki/History_of_Istanbul#Ottoman_Empire" title="History of Istanbul">Constantinople</a> (modern-day <a href="/wiki/Istanbul" title="Istanbul">Istanbul</a>) and control over a significant portion of the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Basin" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediterranean Basin">Mediterranean Basin</a>, the Ottoman Empire was at the centre of interactions between the <a href="/wiki/Middle_East" title="Middle East">Middle East</a> and Europe for six centuries. </p><p>While the Ottoman Empire was once thought to have entered a <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Decline_Thesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Ottoman Decline Thesis">period of decline</a> after the death of Suleiman the Magnificent, modern academic consensus posits that the empire continued to maintain a flexible and strong economy, society and military into much of the 18th century. However, during a long period of peace from 1740 to 1768, the Ottoman military system fell behind those of its chief European rivals, the <a href="/wiki/Habsburg_monarchy" title="Habsburg monarchy">Habsburg</a> and <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russian</a> empires. The Ottomans consequently suffered severe military defeats in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, culminating in the loss of both territory and <a href="/wiki/Sick_man_of_Europe" title="Sick man of Europe">global prestige</a>.

However, following the disastrous <a href="/wiki/Balkan_Wars" title="Balkan Wars">Balkan Wars</a>, the CUP became increasingly radicalized and nationalistic, <a href="/wiki/1913_Ottoman_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="1913 Ottoman coup d'état">leading a coup d'état</a> in 1913 that established a one-party regime.

regard, such as 1361, 1362, 1367 and 1369.

However, it has also been stated that the date of conquest may have occurred after 1366 (1369), based on an elegy showing that the city metropolitan Polykarpos was in Edirne in this capacity until 1366.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-10"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-10">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">In Ottoman Turkish, the city was known by various names, among which were <span title="Ottoman Turkish (1500-1928)-language romanization"><i lang="ota-Latn">Ḳosṭanṭīnīye</i></span> (<span title="Ottoman Turkish (1500-1928)-language text"><span lang="ota" dir="rtl">قسطنطينيه</span></span>) (replacing the suffix <i>-polis</i> with the Arabic suffix), <i>Istanbul</i> (<span title="Ottoman Turkish (1500-1928)-language text"><span lang="ota" dir="rtl">استنبول</span></span>) and <i>Islambol</i> (<span title="Ottoman Turkish (1500-1928)-language text"><span lang="ota" dir="rtl">اسلامبول</span></span>, <abbr style="font-size:85%" title="literal translation">lit.</abbr><span style="white-space: nowrap;"> </span><span class="gloss-quot">'</span><span class="gloss-text">full of Islam</span><span class="gloss-quot">'</span>); see <a href="/wiki/Names_of_Istanbul" title="Names of Istanbul">Names of Istanbul</a>).
