Ahmed III

Ahmed III, the twenty-third Ottoman sultan, was born in 1084/1673 and reigned from 1115/1703 to 1143/1730. His reign brought wars with Russia, Venice and Austria: the Morea was regained from Venice, and Belgrade was lost under the Treaty of Passarowitz in 1718. The later years, the Age of Tulips, were marked by court pleasure, the arts and the first printing press in Istanbul, until a rising in Istanbul in 1730 forced his abdication; he died in 1149/1736.
