  Simple answer: The ottomans took the title Caesar and hence the curse of not conquering Persia came with it.

  The old borders of the Roman and later Byzantine Empires with Persia more or less reappeared. Geography was destiny again.

  When the Ottoman declared themselves the Kaisar of Rum, they inherited the curse of Roman, which would plunge them into eternal wars with Persia and die at hand of foreign powers when they were exhausted from war.

  So it was the Zagros mountains, scorched earth, size of both Persia and Ottoman Empire and internal political struggles which stopped it. Very interesting- thank you!

  Galaxy brain take: The Ottoman-Persian wars were merely a new iteration of the Roman-Persian wars

  Love this. Thank you for making this video about a topic I knew nothing about. It reinforces the concept that geography &nbsp;plays a great role in war.

  History Matters: &quot;Why didn&apos;t the Ottomans colonize America?&quot;<br>Knowledgia: &quot;Why didn&apos;t the Ottomans conquer Persia and Italy?&quot;<br>My brain: &quot;Why didn&apos;t the Galactic Ottoman Empire conquer the universe?&quot;

  Some part of history missed here; when sulyman captured Iraq region from Persia, roughly a decade later Abbas I , king of Persia, recaptured Baghdad and Iraq, however Persia lost Iraq again 20 years later.

  It&apos;s not &quot;Airan&quot; but &quot;Eeran&quot;. That&apos;s how Iran is pronounced.

  Greetings from Tabriz, Iran. <br>And please pronounce it right. It is EERÂN, not EYERAN.
