    Let's say 1600. The Ottoman Empire reached the greatest expanse of its territory and power under Suleiman the Magnificent, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to 1566. He administered an empire of approximately 20 million people, stretching across the Middle East and North Africa and into parts of Europe. In the decades that followed, Russian power began to grow and Ottoman naval supremacy was challenged by Europeans, notably at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. So by 1600 the strength of the Ottoman Empire was beginning to take a downturn. But the Ottomans continued to operate (with gradually shrinking territorial holdings) until the 20th century.
