Mustapha II (1664-1703) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1695 until his abdication in 1703. Born on February 6, 1664, in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, he was the son of Sultan Mehmed IV and Emetullah Rabia Gülnûş Sultan. Mustapha II ascended to the throne during a period of significant military and political challenges for the Ottoman Empire. His reign was marked by continuous warfare, primarily against the Holy League, a coalition of European powers including the Habsburg Monarchy, Poland, Venice, and Russia, which sought to curb Ottoman expansion in Europe.

One of the most notable events during Mustapha II's reign was the Battle of Zenta in 1697, where the Ottoman forces suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the Austrian army led by Prince Eugene of Savoy. This defeat significantly weakened Ottoman control in Europe and led to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. The treaty marked the end of Ottoman dominance in Central Europe, with the empire ceding substantial territories, including Hungary and Transylvania, to the Habsburgs, and Podolia to Poland.

Mustapha II was known for his attempts to reform the military and administrative structures of the empire in response to these challenges. However, his efforts were often hampered by internal strife and resistance from the Janissaries and other entrenched interests within the Ottoman elite. His reign also saw the continuation of the Köprülü era, with the influential Köprülü family holding significant sway over the empire's administration.

In 1703, facing mounting pressure and dissatisfaction from various factions within the empire, Mustapha II was forced to abdicate in favor of his brother, Ahmed III. He spent the remainder of his life in relative obscurity and died on December 31, 1703. Mustapha II's reign is often viewed as a period of decline for the Ottoman Empire, as it struggled to maintain its territories and influence in the face of rising European powers.
