Two objections
I have two objections about the contents:

1. I don't agree with the statement "...the empire expand its frontiers to its furthest reach..." To be sure, Create was conquered and there were some minor gains in the west front. But Turkish authority in Caucasus, west Iran and most of North Africa was almost in decay.

2. I don't agree with the satatement "... Ottoman State also acknowledged, for the first time in its history, that the Austrian Empire could be treated on equal terms..." Actually Austria had been accepted as an equivalent power 93 years prior to Treaty of Karlowitz. It was stated in the Treaty of Zsitvatorok, signed in 1606.
