| description | The Ottoman Empire was a superpower due to its vast human and economic resources and military and naval power. Only the joint military and naval might of Spain, Venice, and their allies could successfully challenge the Ottomans. This was the case at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Following the destruction of the Ottoman fleet at the battle, the abundance of Ottoman resources and efficient resource management enabled the Ottomans to rebuild their navy. The Ottoman victory against the Spanish forces in 1574 in Tunis demonstrated the Ottoman naval resurgence in the Mediterranean. After the peace of 1580, the parties which suffered from the financial difficulties that affected their naval power, turned their attention towards other political matters. |
