Osmanlı Tarihi

Osmanlı Tarihi, or Ottoman History, details the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, a powerful Islamic state that existed from around 1299 to 1922. Founded by Osman I, it expanded across Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, reaching its peak under Suleiman the Magnificent. The empire was known for its military prowess, cultural achievements, and complex governance. Over centuries, it faced internal challenges and external pressures, leading to gradual decline. After World War I, it officially ended, paving the way for the modern Republic of Turkey. Ottoman history profoundly influenced regional culture, politics, and architecture for centuries.
