Ask AI: what if the Ottoman Empire somehow inherited the spanish Empire?

If the Ottoman Empire had somehow managed to inherit the Spanish Empire, the world would look drastically different. The Ottoman Empire would be a much more powerful state, with a much larger economy and population, and a greater presence in Europe and the Americas. It is likely that the Ottoman Empire would have had a much stronger grip on the Middle East, and its presence would probably have had serious implications for the Northern African region. The religious and cultural differences between the two Empires could have led to conflict, but also potentially to exchange and mutual understanding. Ultimately, how the world would have been transformed by the Ottoman Empire inheriting the Spanish Empire is impossible to know for sure.
