About this work

The sultan was the head of state, but the grand vizier was the most powerful man behind the scenes. Together with the Imperial Council, he was in charge of the daily running of the Ottoman Empire. Under the joint rule of Sultan Ahmed III and Grand Vizier Ĭbrahim Pasa, Turkish culture experienced a period of prosperity known as the Tulip Era.
