Selim's vision and political knowledge is unmatched among all ottoman sultans, he not only subdued the safavids and annexed the mamluks but his visionary move allowing algerian barbarossa brothers to become his vassals, went a long way in securing ottoman naval power in the mediterranean. Selim was also the man behind the mughal emperor babur's successful campaign of india, as babur's victory was due to his matchlocks and canons, which were sent to him by selim under ustad ali quli and mustafa rumi, to ensure sunni muslim support to babur.

Sultan Selim I was a beast. He became Sultan in his early 40s & reigned for only 8 years but he doubled the empire's territory.
Within those 8 years, he had topple his father after a civil war, annihilate the Safavids & ravaged safavid capital, conquer the Mamluk Sultanate and rip off the title caliph, annexed Eastern Anatolia and also filled the ottoman treasury to its full. this was none other than the baddest man of the 16th century, Selim I. In my opinion, He's the best ottoman sultan as his success rate is 100%.

In his letter to Sultan Tuman-Bay of Egypt, Selim wrote that he intended to become the ruler of the East and of the West, like Alexander the Great. Selim's first two years on the throne were spent in the elimination of all members of the Ottoman dynasty who could advance a claim to the throne. Then he entered into peace- negotiations with his European neighbours, and in particular with Hungary, in order to have his hands free in the East.

Sultan Selim I. , one of the most brilliant sovereigns of his own or any age, -a general of rare military genius, a statesman of singular understanding and keen foresight, and a poet who has written a number of the finest odes in a language rich in poetry, he has earned, as he deserved, the indignant reprobation of mankind.

What is funny with Selim's legacy is not the fact that he enlarged the size of Sultanate, but his kingdom was swallowed by the culture of the lands he invaded language, culture, art, architecture, education, everything was accepted by neighboring dominant Arabic and Persian worlds.

Etre fort comme un Turc
This expression dates from the 15th century. It refers to the period of the Ottoman Empire when the Turks won many conquests by their strength and cruelty, they were merciless. The Turk therefore represented at the time the supreme enemy, the unbeatable.

Selim not only conquered the Mamluk Sultanate and dismembered the Safavids at Chaldiran but also made Barbarossa the grand admiral of the empire unleashing what would become a nightmare of European ships and coasts

Selim just grew in geopolitical vacuum in the Middle East. Just intimidated Safavid dervishes with the cannons of Mehmed II
