The Empire that once was (jan 2, 1606 – jan 14, 1639)
Description:
With the string of poor leaders continuing after Selim II, the Empire is no longer as much a threat to the world as it once was. Fighting with the Persians begins and then continues until 1639. The Ottomans do capture Crete from the Venetians within that year, though.
