On the 29th October 2023, the Republic of Turkey will have celebrated 100 years since it’s founding in the wake of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. 1923 marked the end of over six hundred years of Ottoman imperial rule, which at the pinnacle of it’s power in the mid 16th century, dominated lands across much of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Rising from relative obscurity as a minor regional power in Northwestern Anatolia, the Ottoman dynasty would usher in a period of remarkable territorial expansion, coupled with rapid advancements in governmental, social and economic systems that allowed for one of the most diverse and prosperous empires in the world to flourish. But what became of this once mighty and powerful state and how did it shape the modern Turkish nation of today?

This is the history of the Ottoman Empire.

If you're wondering why the Ottomans used to wear such large turbans, these were their kefens, the cloth that was wrapped around the deceased before they were buried. Remember death often said our Prophet a.s.

Man, kids today have it lucky when it comes to history. Sure we had history books and teachers but they would break it down into every complex occurrence that happened and make it hard to see the big picture. Here we have it all summed up perfectly in 20 mins! Yes, there's a lot of crap on YouTube and the internet as a whole but thankfully there's some really good stuff, like this, as well. Thanks TIH 🙂

The decline of the Ottoman Empire is very important for setting the geopolitical stage in the levant in the 20th century. The British Mandate of Palestine after WWI preceded the nation of Israel in 1948 and the troubles now in Gaza since stem from the promises of Lawrence of Arabia to Palestinians quickly broken by Lord Balfour.

Sir, it was a period of a long series of battles, bloodletting, harem and intrigues and of course fall of Constantinople becoming Istanbul, and the discovery of new worlds, industrialization/colonization.

[colindaniels]

The reason for the turmoil in the early 15th Century was Timur The Lame, who very nearly destroyed The Ottoman Empire before it got off the ground

What saved it was Timur's sudden death at 35.

After the places where the Ottomans had to leave, they fought each other in war after war, the Ottoman Empire was the security of those lands.
