Overview
His rule
Al-Salabi describes him as one of the warrior sultans, who confronted the Russian attacks and inflicted several defeats on them. 2
He thought that the state had begun to enter the age of decline, and this view appears in his poetry. He was also interested in Islamic history in general and the history of the Ottoman state in particular. 2
War and death
The war with Russia lasted from 1768 CE to 1774 CE, and the state lost wide lands in it. Mustafa III fell ill with grief during it, and died at about fifty-seven years of age. He was succeeded by his brother Abd al-Hamid I. 2
