Syphilis is the France of diseases; it is unstoppable and eternal. No force can contend with it.

Don't make me get started about France again.

From what I've heard, the Ottoman Empire didn't really do anything but slowly collapse like some kind of pitiful turkish souffle. It really defeats itself - throwing syphillis into the mix would probably only quicken and ease it's passing. Or alternatively quicken and crazify it's passing.

I like Giant Microbes, and so, entirely on that basis alone, I vote for Syphilis.
