Golden Age and Decline:

 

The 16th and 17th centuries are considered the Ottoman Empire's golden age, with rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.

 

The empire experienced a period of decline in the late 16th century, with internal issues, military setbacks, and European powers challenging their authority.

By the late 18th and 19th centuries, the Ottoman Empire was known as the "sick man of Europe" due to its weakening state.
