Ottoman Empire

[Ottoman]

Head of State:Sultan Ahmed III

Head of Government: Grand Vizier Topal Osman Pasha

Shift from RL History, with the victory at Vienna. The Imperial government is stronger compare to rl one, primary because of the fact that the Edirne event(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edirne_event) won't happen in this timeline. The Ottomans realized after the victory, that the boundaries of the northern frontier has set and any new wars of expansion in that direction would prove too costly for the empire. The Imperial government has shift its focus elsewhere to areas that were once regard as side show compare the old goals of expanding into Europe...

[TLS]

As 1701 comes to a close, there is increasing discontent in the bazaars of Constantinople. Though the Sultan reigns over the most powerful state among the Ummah bar none, he sends his forces off on (seemingly) ill-fated wars against coreligionists while tolerating French rhetoric of Holy War against the enemies of Christendom. The news of the loss of Mocha and the siege of Ta'iz is held to be a form of divine retribution for looking East while, to the West, the enemies of the Sublime Porte seeks to subjugate the Sultan's own subjects. The mood of the populace is not one that clamors for blood out of the Arabian peninsula, but rather increasingly wonders why the Sultan--and Caliph--has abdicated his duties to his religious and temporal subjects.

The rabble are wont to grumble, and the Vizier does not care too much for the concerns of hoi polloi--even if he is now concerned that a tax increase to pay for the campaigns in the peninsula may well precipitate riots in the capital. More concerning to him is the notion that the Empire's other vassals are equally horrified at the degree to which the Sublime Porte has thrown away their duties to the Barbary Coast. Though they understand that the Sultan and the Corsairs have not always seen eye-to-eye, no attempt was made to rationalize the betrayal--instead, the doors were open wide to the French. The Vizier has received everything from dismayed to furious notes from all of the Sultan's vassals to the north. Though they have yet to reach the point of open mutiny, the fact that the guardians of the northern frontier are unanimously terrified by the Sultan's disregard for his duties to the Barbary Coast is disconcerting. The Vizier warns the Sultan that, without mollification, the vassals to the north cannot be trusted to supply their feudal obligations--be they armies or funds--and that they may begin to act against the interests of the Empire.

[Ottoman]

The Sultan personally writes to his vassals, stating that he will not abandon them. He points out the Beys of North Africa not have paying their respects(money) to the Sultan or obeying imperial edicts. They only follow their lust for greed and forsaken their duties to the Sultan. Which resulted in their pending demise at hands of the French. The Sultan personally promises to raise garrisons to insure their lands will remain safe and will sent gifts to their capitals as sign as of respect to their leaderships.

The Sultans personally writes sermons for Friday prayers to the people of the capital and local regions, stating the wars in the Arabia are to insure the Hajj routes are protected from heretic Shia Yemeni raiders who have been known to say disrespect/ insults to the Prophet companions. As for the wars with Oman was to crush a heretic power that refuse to give the oath of loyalty to Khalifah and insure vital trade/Hajj sea trade from India/ East Indies are protected from outside attack. The Sultan states the the Beys of North Africa have forsaken their duties to their Khalif and are paying the price for their greed and lust. Those who do not forsake their duties to the Sultan, will have full protection of their ruler.

The Ottoman Government announces war taxes will be enacted for 1702 to insure imperial defenses in the Northern frontier are strengthen as well finish off the upstarts in Yemen.

Current State of Ottoman Hungary, Upper Hungary (Slovakia), Transylvania

Given the changes to the timeline, I figure write a statement of current of affairs for this region.

The ruling classes for Upper Hungary, Transylvania is the Kuruc who allied with Ottomans during the last war with Austria. They are mainly Hungarian Protestants in terms of faith and have a very deep disdain for the Catholic Austrians.

Meanwhile in Ottoman direct rule Hungary, most of the cities are populated by Balkan Muslims, Turks and local converts. The Kuruc Hungarians are more in middle class roles unlike their counterparts in the vassal regions. At least 10% of the population is Muslim, the remainder is combo of various faiths such as Catholics, Protestants and Jews.

[Ottoman]

Late 1702,

As the cost of conquest of Oman/Yemen sinks in, the Divan express its dissatisfaction to the Sultan in regards performance of Grand Vizier Amcazade Köprülü Hüseyin Pasha and his costly wars in Arabia. They point out the high cost of these frontier wars outweigh the the netgains. They convince the Sultan to order the Grand Vizier to resign and replaced him with Rami Mehmed Pasha keen to focus on economic growth and less on cost frontier wars in the Near East.
