The relationship between Ottoman and Spain in the 16th century

Ottomans, which, gradually, rised since its foundation, and by the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, began to have image of being an empire, acquiered the feature to take turn in the inter-states relations. They, from the beginning of the 16th century, became the most powerful state in Levant and Mid-Europe. In paralel with the rise of Ottomans, Spanish Monarchy, situated at the extreme western tip of Mediterranean, having left from the customary disunity of Iberian peninsula, was united in 1469, and in the long-run took the opportunity to influence on both America and on Mediterranean and North Africa. And as if the history devoted the 16th century to these two empire for competing each other. Morever, after the last two decades of this century, both empires began to retire into their shell, leaving the rivalry to cope with their own matters.That the relations between Ottomans and Spaniards had reached to peak, does not mean that these two nations had interacted only in the 16th century. The relations between these two empires can, also, be dated back to the later mid-ages. For, by the call-up of Byzantine, the Catalan Company had served as mercanry of Constantinople for a while and wage war against Turks in Western-Anatolia, but, after, this company, retiring to Morean peninsula through Thrace and Greece, had, this time, become ally with Turks against Venetian, which had some possessions in the Agean Sea.Italian Wars, which had set their seal on European History in the 16th formed the other aspect of the Turkish-Spanish relations. The wars, whose origins for the rivalry between French and Aragon over the domination of Sicily and Naples, dated back to the later mid-ages, followed different course in the 16th century. In the second phase of these war, Francis I of France, against Karl V, the most powerful sovereing of Europe, had allied with Suleiman I. The aim of this alliance was to threathen the possessions of Karl V in Italy.Ottomans, which, gradually, rised since its foundation, and by the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, began to have image of being an empire, acquiered the feature to take turn in the inter-states relations.

They laid hold of strategical places in Maghrib, so it was inevitable that they would not interact with Turks. Especially, having took the opportuniy to take hold in Maghrip, Barbarossa brothers were the most ferocious enemies of Spaniards in this region in the first half of the 16th century.
