AHMED II. , sultan of Turkey, son of Sultan Ibra him, succeeded his brother Suleiman II. in 169r. His chief merit was to confirm Mustafa Kuprili as grand vizier. But a few weeks after his accession Turkey sustained a crushing defeat at Slanka men (1691) from the Austrians under Prince Louis of Baden and was driven from Hungary; during the four years of his reign disaster followed on disaster, and on Feb. 6, 1695, Ahmed died, worn out by disease and sorrow.
