Murad IV ruled as the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640. He is remembered for reestablishing the state’s authority using harsh measures. Ascending to the throne following a palace conspiracy, he succeeded his uncle. His reign was marked by the Ottoman–Safavid War, resulting in the division of the Caucasus between the two empires for nearly two centuries. Furthermore, his governance played a significant role in shaping the modern boundaries of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq.
