Suleiman II was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1687 to 1691.
Background
The younger brother of Mehmed IV (1648-1687), Suleiman II was born at Topkapı Palace in Constantinople and had spent 46 years of his life in the kafes (cage), a kind of luxurious prison for princes of the blood within the Topkapı Palace (it was designed to ensure that none could organize a rebellion).
Career
Upon being brought to the throne by an armed mutiny, Suleiman was able to acquire minor land reconquests and internal state reforms to attempt to better and stabilize the Ottoman Empire. With one of the shorter rules of the empire (four years), Suleiman was unable to do much in that little bit of time. He was succeeded by Ahmed World War II His mother was a Serb woman originally named Katarina, known as Saliha Dilaşub Sultan.
Ottoman–Habsburg War
Immediately after assuming the throne, the Ottomans suffered a devastating defeat at the second Battle of Mohács.
Unable to rule effectively himself, Suleiman II shrewdly appointed Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha as his Grand Vizier. Even so, when Russia joined an alliance of European powers, the Ottomans suffered the devastating Crimean campaigns.
Under Köprülü"s leadership the Ottomans halted an Austrian advance into Serbia and crushed an uprising in Macedonia and Bulgaria until Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha was killed in the Battle of Slankamen by Austrian forces. Suleiman II died at Edirne Palace in 1691.
Relations with the Mughal Empire
Suleiman"s legacy was minimal at best for the empire.
He had made minor reforms and took back lost land from previous wars, but none in particular had a large lasting effect on the empire.
