The killing of Mustafa harmed the Ottoman Empire so much, it took until 1922 to collapse.
Traditional historiography blames the 1553 garroting of Şehzade Mustafa, Suleiman the Magnificent's eldest son, for the decline of the Ottoman Empire. This is false, because the empire lasted for 369 years after his death. It would be more reasonable to argue Mustafa would be a better Sultan than Suleiman's eventual successor Selim II (the Drunkard).
