ottoman empire history
The Ottoman Empire came into being in the year 1206 with a series of conquests that lead to it becoming one of the largest empires in Europe. As well as the destruction of Christianity, the empire also saw the establishment of numerous Ottoman states and dynasties which were later incorporated into Turkey. Although the Ottoman Empire was one of the longest periods of reign of power in human history, it was not without its ups and downs. Many people including historians and scholars argue that this period went by the name the Golden Age of Islam (16th century). As the Ottoman Empire declined from success, it began losing its influence in Asia and then later Europe resulting in the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Today we as Europeans refer to the Ottoman Empire as an Ottoman Empire meaning that it is the empire that we call the Ottoman Turks or what they call the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire includes the nations of contemporary Iran, Iraq and Syria. The Ottoman has had both good and bad effects on their neighbors. It has also been referred to by some people as the Black Ottoman Empire. With the decline of the Ottoman Empire over time, many of its former territories have had either influence or control over other people with different beliefs on the world. This essay aims to explore the Ottoman Empire story in detail. Its most successful areas include the Muslim, Ottoman and Christian empires of Central Europe. In addition to this it will look at what happened during the time of the Ottoman Empire. It will use various sources and historical facts to illustrate these events. The Ottoman Empire began as a state but it soon spread outwards and took over parts of Europe and Middle East. The Ottoman Empire was created through conquest of Anatolia. After conquering Anatolia, a large number of the Ottoman Turks took up arms and set up a new government. Afterward, some Ottoman Turks continued in their conquest of Bulgaria while others marched towards Anatolia. They were very powerful and at times even overran the other empires. After a few years, the Ottoman Turks defeated Byzantine Turks forcing them to surrender. However, this did not end the Ottoman Turkic invasions of Anatolia and Syria and forced them to relocate to the Eastern Mediterranean where there were other Muslim kingdoms. During the Turkish Conquest of the Balkan Peninsula, Turkey gained access to European ships making trade easy, fast and convenient for the Ottoman Turks to exploit. The Ottoman Turks made rapid advances into Western Europe and took lands such as Italy, Greece and Scandinavia by surprise. In 1334 the Ottoman Turks established their capital in Istanbul. The Ottoman Turks took over Byzantine capital Constantinople in 1453 after defeating the Turks in a battle. At this point, they had conquered all the lands they had taken and as a result, they claimed the rights to the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope did not interfere much with the affairs of the Ottoman Turks. The Ottoman Turks also attacked the lands of Germany and Austria in order to expand their empire. Some Ottoman Turks took advantage of the fact that the Ottoman Turks had never experienced war with people before and they defeated them easily, thereby giving them a big challenge if they wanted to win against Europeans. During the Ottoman Turks reign of power, the Ottoman Turks were involved in constant military conflicts. These wars affected their economy negatively, and it also caused them to engage more in social activities like religious worship, public works or construction.
It is believed that the United States would be considered part of the Ottoman Empire. Before the arrival of Europeans, the Ottoman Turks ruled many regions of Asia and Europe. The Ottoman Turks controlled the Muslim’s region of the world. Due to the Ottoman Turks having occupied the Ottoman territory, they had an upper hand to the Muslims and to the Christians who were being converted to Islam. Therefore, there arose conflict between the Christians and the Muslims. For example, Muslim believers would sometimes attack Christians or vice versa, as it was seen as unjustified to take action against Muslim believers due to the killing of Jesus Christ by Christians in the Bible. The Ottoman Turks were so powerful and had no problem fighting anyone around. Their religion had taught them how to defeat evil in all aspects. A major challenge faced by the Ottoman Turks was when they conquered the Muslim in Central Europe. They were the first European nation to conquer the Muslim Ottoman Turks. They had earlier tried to fight the Muslim Turks out of Anatolia and Bulgaria in a number of ways but the Ottoman Turks succeeded because they were strong and had a lot of manpower. When the Ottoman Turks started their invasion of European countries, they took over lands by force. During this time, the Ottoman Turks had already taken over a significant portion of Balkan Peninsula. On top of this, they had taken over Venice. The Ottoman Turks then introduced new customs in the Ottoman Ottoman area as well as the introduction of new taxes. Many people had been killed in this invasion of Europe, and it caused the Ottoman Turks to withdraw from Europe. Some of the Ottoman Turks had gone to France and Italy hoping it would help them defeat the Byzantine Turks and the Catholic Church. However, after the Ottoman Turks succeeded in bringing down both of these empires, the Ottoman Turks abandoned Europe and started travelling towards Africa. However, this move did not last long for the Ottoman Turks but eventually, the Ottoman Turks gave up their control over the Muslim and the Christians and instead, fought the Spanish Empire. This angered the Christians and prompted them to declare independence from the Ottoman Turks, a move that ended by defeating Spain and thus winning back their land. Some of the Ottoman Turks who were captured by the British and French forces also fought against the Ottoman Turks in Hungary, Poland, Russia and Lithuania, especially in Ypres. After defeating the Ottoman Turks, they declared themselves independent of the Ottoman Turks. However, the Ottoman Turks kept the faith in their religion and remained faithful followers of Islam. Despite how the Ottoman Turks treated them, they still kept their faith and they stayed loyal to their religion by spreading the ideology of religion throughout the Ottoman Empire. Because of this, some historians believe that a period of religious tolerance existed in the Ottoman Turks which proved to be very beneficial for them in terms of economic development. In addition, the Ottoman Turks had managed to acquire weapons and military equipment which were used for waging warfare against the neighboring civilizations. Most importantly, they had destroyed the Byzantine Turks which were a source of income for them. The Ottoman Turks were highly indebted and they borrowed money from the Byzantine Empire and the West. In addition, they had taken over lands which provided the Ottoman Turks with essential raw materials like metal, silk and leather. As a result, the Ottoman Turks had accumulated almost everything they needed from these two empires. The Ottoman Turks also managed to acquire valuable slaves and they later became free once they reached freedom. Furthermore, they had captured a large amount of wealth from the Byzantine Empire and the West which caused them to make more deposits in foreign bank accounts in order to finance their debts. There were also several attacks by the Ottoman Turks which were seen as immoral but were justified. The Ottoman Turks could change their lives and become wealthier but they did not make it easy because they engaged in raids and invasions which caused them to lose control of their country when they went against European powers and later on against the British and French Empires. Some historians argued that the Ottoman Turks would be like Rome and will continue to rule their land until they are defeated by another Ottoman Turks. The Ottoman Turks and their rulers did not enjoy peace with each other because they took war against each other causing tension between them. They decided to kill each other but unfortunately, they died due to their opponents’ strength and might. Although the Ottoman Turks succeeded in destroying the Byzantine Turks and in eliminating a large amount of power, they retained the same land and power. Each of the Ottoman Turks had a distinct style in life and as such, they were able to adapt to any changes in life especially with the Ottoman Turks being at war, living a normal life but also they had to get rid of the negative and negative influences which caused them to live unhappily just like other empires. However, their downfall also had negative impacts in their daily lives. The Ottoman Turks and their rulers had a very difficult life in their home country. The Ottoman Turks built mosques that were extremely beautiful in order to bring Islamism to everyone. The Ottoman Turks were incredibly illiterate and they had never learnt to read and write, therefore, they relied on memorizing everything which was written. They also had different beliefs on the Ottoman Turks. Some of the Ottoman Turks were Sunni Muslims and the rest of their population was Christians. According to the Ottoman Turks religion, they always prayed and believed in God and were extremely pious. The Ottoman Turks were a religiously observant society but they never practiced any religion that they did not understand. This was the reason why they failed to develop a national identity and independence in addition to not having a strong army. Their culture was heavily rooted in Islamic religion and it is said that their religion is still observed in contemporary Muslim society today.
The Ottoman Turks were also known for being aggressive in their pursuit of power. They would go against neighboring powers like Spain and Russia in search for oil. They would even invade neighboring countries to take over areas, specifically, the Balkan Peninsula, which were rich in natural resources. Moreover, they engaged in massive battles with the enemy in order to defend their territory against the enemies. Most of the Ottoman Turks did not care about Christianity and did not want to convert the local Christian rulers but instead, they would engage in wars. As such, the Ottoman Turks were never independent and had lost their political power.
The Ottoman Turks are not unique for being arrogant and stubborn towards the non-Muslims. Most of them were always aggressive which made other people hate them and dislike them. For instance, one particular event where the Ottoman Turks invaded Hungary in 1920s. The Ottoman Turks used brute force and terror tactics to destroy the Hungarian nobles in Budapest in order to show the citizens of Hungary that the Ottoman Turks were not friendly towards the Christians or as they called them, the Ottoman Turks.
