The Ottoman army takes Baghdad five months …

Years: 1535 - 1535

The Ottoman army takes Baghdad five months later, due in part to an unprecedented winter march to Mesopotamia by Süleyman.

This first major campaign against Persia waged by Süleyman has given the Ottomans control over the region of Erzurum in eastern Anatolia and witnesses the Ottoman conquest of Iraq, a success that rounds off the achievements of Süleyman’s father, Selim.

Under the Ottomans, Baghdad will continue into a period of decline, partially as a result of the enmity between its rulers and Iranian Safavids, who do not accept the Sunni control of the city.
