Murad IV
By: Merve I.
Murad IV(1612-1640)
Murad IV ruled from 1623 - 1640, he was the 17th Sultan, and died when
he was 27 from cirrhosis.
He ascended the throne when he was 11 years, after his uncle(Mad
Mustafa) was dethroned because he was having mental problems.
Murad IV was for a long time under the control of his relatives and
during his early years as Sultan, his mother, Ksem Sultan, essentially
ruled through him. At this time there was internal disturbance in the
Empire.
People did not respect him because he was a small Sultan, so this lead
him to have a tough temperament. He is also physically strong.
Murat IV s reign is most capable for the Ottoman-Safavid War, which is because the
outcome would permanently part the Caucasus between the two Empires for around 2
centuries, and it also roughly laid the foundation for the current Turkey-Iraq-Iran borders.
With the Treaty of Zuhab which followed after the war, it roughly comprised and
confirmed the borders as per the Peace of Amasya, with Eastern Armenia, Eastern
Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Dagestan staying Persian, while Western Armenia, and
Western Georgia staying Ottoman.
Mesopotamia was irrevocably lost for the Persians. The borders per the outcome
of the war is more or less the present border line between Turkey - Iraq and Iran.
