Why did they immediately begin to decline after europeans discovered the new world and circmunavigated africa? Exactly how much of their wealth was reliant on them acting as a giant tollbooth for trade between europe and asia?

Ottomans were still balling hard for centuries after >muh decline post-1500. They took fucking Vienna in 1683. Decline is a western narrative to cope with getting BTFO by Sultan's chad armies. Western mind fears türk hürriyetinden yayılışı.
