Osman I, Orhan, Murad I, and Beyazid I started the beginning of the Ottoman expansion at the end of the Byzantine empire, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Next the Ottoman empire took over Bursa and Adrianople; it spread the empire and their capital was relocated to both places. Europe soon realized the threat of the Ottoman empire once they had defeated most of the Balkan Peninsula. Bayezid was captured in 1402 after the Ottoman siege Constantinople. The Ottomans, in response, did bounce back from this.
The Ottomans came to their height of power thanks to many rulers. Osman I started their campaign for power when he led his army to displace the Seljuk Turks.

The Ottoman Empire was an empire that came to its rise during the year 1299, the empire was a strong follower of the Islamic religion, they were also one of the biggest reasons for the spreading of the religion. The Holy crusades ended during the year 1291, this was just a few years before the Ottoman empire was founded. The Religious wars were far from finished though, religions would keep on fighting for their beliefs for a long time, even until the current day. The Ottoman Empire did not have as much discrimination towards other religions though, they instead invited them through a system called Millet.

While taking the class of Early Modern European History there was two states that really stuck out and peaked my interest the most. They were the Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe. If you compare and contrast both the Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe during the 16th Century through the 18th Century, you will see that there are a number of similarities as well as differences when you look at the expansion of the states. You will also see many of these contrasts as well when you look in terms of each states military and commerce. Although the Ottoman Empire existed before the 16th century and continued to exist past the 18th century and in great decline until the early 20th century, when looking at the state as a whole the time
Began as a small state that later grew into a powerhouse that migrated northwest and gained control of all the land around the Mediterranean and the Red sea.
The collapse of the Ottoman Empire started with the World War I and multiple Iraq wars of terrorism made to their empire. The frequent rebellions and attacks in their territory eventually lead
The Ottoman Turks emerged on the periphery of the Byzantine Empire and the Saljuk Turks. Under a Turkish Muslim warrior named Osman, raids were conducted in western Anatolia on Byzantine settlements and a vast number of Turks were united under his banner. Those Turks who flocked to Osman's banner and followed him into the history books came to be called the Ottomans. The word Ottoman, fits these Turks well as it roughly translates from Turkish as "those associated with Oman."
The Ottoman had several scenes of decline and each one had marked their history and are linked with it so I will explain each one. The armistice of 1918 ended the fighting between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies but didn´t bring stability or peace to the region. The British controlled Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia.
The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful states during the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries. In the twentieth century, this empire grew weaker
History has consisted of many different empires. Two of the earlier empires are known as the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Empire. The Ottoman Empire was established around 1299 by Osman I, who was also a leader of the Turkish tribes (History.com). The Ottomans began in Asia Minor during the break down of the Turks, which later led the Ottoman Empire to expand and conquer land across Asia and Europe. While the Safavid Empire was established in 1501 east of the Ottoman Empire. The Safavid Empire emerged in modern day Iran, which was east of where the Ottoman Empire started and expanded. Both of these empires were strong in power and had many resources available to them.
The Ottoman Empire, founded by Osman, had started in the northwestern corner of the Anatolian Peninsula. The empire expanded rapidly, only to weaken again. The first visible decline
Without a good, strong political system, an empire is doomed. Many of empires fell because of government issues like succession, civil wars, unjust rulers, and so on. The Ottomans had a very organized system that worked for hundreds of years. The Sultan had supreme authority in both a political and military sense. This position was also heredity.
The Ottoman Empire used the sword to spread their Islamic faith. The Ottoman Empire conquered the Byzantine Empire and considered to be one of the most powerful empires at that time. Their main success of military power came from the use of gunpowder. By conquering the Byzantine Empire, they gained the Bosporus Strait and could trade with is empires in Asia and in the Balkans. Yet, they fell due to a long line of weak sultans and never modernized with the rest of the world.
The Europeans were able to penetrate the Ottoman economy through unfair agreements and treaties which led the Ottomans to not only lose money and materials but also the pride they once felt. The Europeans were indirectly ruling much of the empire through imperialism and the simple conquering of the trade market. The Ottomans were unable to feel superior as they once had which led to them using a defensive modernization strategy to kick of their Western foes. The leadership within the empire had the idea to create ambitious programs that would allow the empire to regain much of their people and materials back from the West during the nineteenth century. The Ottoman Empire had more success with their defensive modernization when compared to China’s self strengthening as the Ottoman’s leadership pushed forward with their ideas earlier than the Chinese.
The rise of the Ottoman Empire started in Turkey and spread through most of the Middle East. Their military practice and successful transition to the use of gun powder made them one of the most successful ruling bodies in the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire which ruled until modern times had great influence on the Middle Eastern world. Their political and economic abilities astonished the western world. Their religious views and fears were instilled into any non-Muslim and helped the western world to find new trade. The rise of Christianity in the western world provided new ways to preserve the dead and ended the need for frankensence, the main export of the Ottoman Empire. This
