Excellent summary.

I would quibble - 1492 was about letting Iberian (Sephardic) Jews flood the Ottoman Empire, which already had its own Jewish communities (Ashkenazi, Mizrahi and Berber).

The Sultan at the time, whose name I forget, was very activist. Indebted, desirous of a new political powerbase, or just soft-headed?
