AHMED III

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 431 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AHMED III . (1637-1736),
sultan
  of Turkey, son of Mahommed IV, succeeded to, the throne in 1703 on the
abdication
  of his brother Mustafa II. He cultivated good relations with England, in view doubtless of
Russia
 's menacing attitude. He afforded a
refuge
  in Turkey to Charles XII. of
Sweden
 , after his defeat at
Poltava
  (1709). Forced against his will into war with
Russia
 , he came nearer than any Turkish sovereign before or since to breaking the power of his northern rival, whom his Grand
Vizier
  Baltaji Mahommed Pasha succeeded in completely surrounding near the Pruth (1711). In the treaty which Russia was compelled to sign Turkey obtained the restitution of
Azov
 , the destruction of the forts built by Russia and the undertaking that the tsar should abstain from future interference in the affairs of the Poles or the Cossacks. Discontent at the leniency of these terms was so strong at
Constantinople
  that it nearly brought on a renewal of the war. In 1715 the Morea was taken from the Venetians. This led to hostilities with Austria, in which Turkey was unsuccessful, and Belgrade fell into the hands of Austria (1717). Through the mediation of England and Holland the peace of Passarowitz was concluded (1718), by which Turkey retained her conquests from the Venetians, but lost
Hungary
 . A war with Persia terminated in disaster, leading to a revolt of the janissaries, who deposed Ahmed in September 1730. He died in captivity some years later.
