Summary

Following the Celali Rebellion, another century of natural and human disasters prolonged Ottoman troubles and derailed the empire's recovery. Little Ice Age climate fluctuations brought recurring extremes of temperature and precipitation through the mid-1600s, playing a major role in the empire's chronic political instability and rural disorder. Then in the last decades of the seventeenth century, the Ottoman Empire underwent another conjuncture of severe weather, military setbacks, and internal disorder. By around 1710, once the worst of the Little Ice Age had passed, Istanbul had witnessed the deposition of five sultans, and many of the core provinces were left in much the same poor condition as a century before, in the wake of the Celali Rebellion.
