Question
A pope’s nephew named Niccolò Ludovisi gained this region’s name as an honorary appellation after fighting a war in it. A force hoping to relieve this region was harmed by the death of François de Vendôme and a powder magazine explosion that sank its flagship, the Thérèse (“tay-REZ”). When veterans of a war in this region were paid in valueless “red coins,” they hung a set of ministers from a Platanus tree in the “Vakvak Incident.” To mitigate increasing costs of a war in this region, Turhan appointed a member of the Köprülü family as grand vizier. The unpopularity of a war centered on this region led Sultan Ibrahim to be deposed in favor of Mehmed IV, who continued the war on this island for two decades. The Ottomans conducted a 21-year siege of this island’s Venetian-ruled capital city, Candia. For 10 points, a 17th-century war centered on what island and its fortress at modern-day Heraklion? ■END■
