Crimean campaign (1584)

The Crimean Campaign of 1584 was a series of two military operations carried out by the Ottoman Empire in 1584 to punish the rebellious Crimean Khan Mehmed II Giray for refusing to further provide troops to the Ottoman Empire for the campaigns of the Ottoman–Safavid War (1578–1590). The Ottoman Empire attempted to reestablish dominance in the Crimean Khanate, and to enthrone a new Khan favorable to the Ottomans, Islam II Giray. While Özdemiroğlu Osman Pasha commanded the Ottoman troops in the first operation and Gazi Ferhad Pasha in the second, the Ottoman Navy under the command of Kılıç Ali Pasha landed in Caffa twice.
