Selim I was by all records one of the best ottoman ruler , the only problem was his death because of some cancer after "only" 8 years of rule.

But if he didn't have cancer and say live 10 , 20 if not more years will he continue to turn his realm into a powerhouse ? From what i understand he was a grim enemy of the safavids , so would he be able to conquest that empire and turn once more Persia into a turkish dominated region ?
