The Ottoman empire also sent a message to the king or duke of Spain (idk who the leader was and what he was called at the time) stating that the Netherlands is under their protection and so attacking them ment declaring war on the Ottoman Empire, as the fleet saw the soldier uniform and flag, and got word of the letter they fled before a single shot even occurred.
As a thanks they named a city after the empire and as the empire then became Turkey of today they change the name of the city too. Not many people know this

Mathilda,
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

#13 the first bikini also had newspaper headlines printed on it, to get even more attention. An exotic dancer or prostitute had to present it, because no model would do it
