What went wrong?
Be more specific. I need a good Ottoman thread to start my day.
Why does he have a huge onion on his head.
Rapid gunfire
Zerging enemies won't work anymore.

It's a turban. It's so large, because it was a signifer of importance in that time.

What'd you want to do about it?
>>Wanted to take Europe
>He could never make it pass Hungary despite all his men and canons
He still did a pretty good job. Knights of Rhodes were defeated, even.
>>Had 4 sons
>3 of them died, one under his order.
Yeah, I didn't like how often he executed people for things that weren't even treasonous.
>>992348
Did not allow brutal tradition of letting sons kill each.

>Knights of Rhodes were defeated, even
But it came back to bite him in the ass, he spared their life as a good showing of chivalry. They then used Malta as a base to disrupt his trading fleet in the mediterranean
>tfw you will never have a turban that big

Suleiman likoum brother
>>992348
Expansion of the Janissary corps to include Turks. Wound up really biting the empire in the ass down the line.
>>992348
Extra History did a video on him, forever dooming him to be a meme history topic.
Killed his best heir and let a bastard took his throne.
>>992599
Were the rights of Rhodos a genuine power back then?
>>992348
He was a T*rk.
soft, feminine emperor with no knowledge of realpolitik in first half of his life. trying not to be like his father while cucking the whole empire.
tl;dr his father was a legend that he could never be.
>>992348
too much goat-fucking, as usual
cool chapeau, dude

Not him, but they were a regional power, not a great power.
Strong enough to be a real pest of themselves, but not enough to take on the Empire head on. They mostly engaged in piracy, and caused quite a bit of economic damage doing so.
