So if the Ottomans were to more solidly control Tunis or Algiers they might have been able to interfere in Iberia?
For the ottomans to have that ability to project power there would of needed to been major structural changes in how Ottoman Empire was structured and all its overall strengths. Tunisia and Algiers were at the peripheral of the country. If Ottoman Empire was stronger it would of concentrated that military power towards Central Europe against Hungary and Austria not towards North Africa.
