Ottoman Turck, which has existed for 7 centuries
1330s Anatolia/Predecessor of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire was a state founded by the Turk peoples. After the fall of Serzukturk, which provided the clues to the Crusades, many states began to establish themselves on this land, and the Sultanate of Sham in the heart of the Anatolian Peninsula also existed. The precursor tribes of the Ottoman Empire existed in the northwestern Part of the Anatolian Peninsula, which bordered the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sultanate of Roma.
The forces (or military groups) of the influential nomadic tribal leader Osman I who were influential here were later thought to be the origins of the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the 13th century, Ottoman I sided with the Sultanate of Roma in war with the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) and, by doing so, granted fiefdoms near Ankara as shells. Early monarch titles)
Ottoman I, a growing Gulf power as the Rohmian Sultanate, took advantage of the collapse of the Rohmand Sultanate to become independent and defeated the remnants of the Eastern Roman Empire in the Anatolian Peninsula. Orhanga, the son of Ottoman I, contributed greatly to the rise of the Ottoman Empire while securing a bridgehead in southeastern Europe. The Ottoman Empire, which began with such a small nomadic tribe, continued to expand after the second generation of Sultan Or state, establishing the Ottoman Northern Kingdom. This Ottoman northern kingdom later developed into the Ottoman Empire.
A history of territorial changes in the Ottoman Empire from 1299 to 1922
Orhan I, who had been the second-generation sultan, occupied Bursa, a local city of the Eastern Roman Empire as the capital of the Ottoman northern state, and expanded its territory in the direction of Europe. In 1346, he allied himself with the Eastern Roman Emperor Johannes VI Cantacuzenos and crossed the Dardanelles Strait into the Tarkia region of the Balkans. Taking the opportunity to enter the Trakia region, it officially expanded its territory into Europe.
The third sultan, Murat I, son of Orhan II, took the throne and occupied the important stronghold of Adrianov. Murat I made Adrianoval (now Edirne) his second capital, while creating the military group "Yeniceri", which represented the Ottoman Empire. In 1389, he defeated Moravia Serb, the Kingdom of Bosnia, and the Knights of Malta in the Battle of Kosovo. But Murat I died in this war. Murat I was the only Ottoman sultan to die on the battlefield.
Began to expand and dominate the Ottoman Empire
Battle of Nikopolis in 1398
After the death of Murat I, Bayezid I, who became Sultan, fought a battle against the Crusader forces led by the Kingdom of Hungary in Nikopolis in northern Bulgaria in 1396. The Crusaders are a crusade of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Holy Roman Empire, France, Valakia, Poland, England, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Commonwealth of Gousves, the Knights of Totem, the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Genoa, and the Knights of St. John. They were known as the Nicopolis Crusades and were the last massive crusaders of the Middle Ages.
But in this battle, the Crusaders suffered devastating losses, and only a very small number, including the Holy Roman Emperor Tsigismund, fled. Bayezid I crushed the Nikopolis Crusaders and further expanded their territory. However, after the defeat to the Timurids at the Battle of Ankara in 1402, infighting broke out between the princes and the Ottoman Empire fell into chaos. The chaos began in 1402 and ended in 1421 with the reunification of the empire by Bayejid I's son, Mehmed I.
Mehmed II arrives in Constantinople
Thereafter, with the defeat of Murat II, the son of Mehmet I, he defeated the Crusaders who invaded the Ottoman Empire again, and the Ottoman empire grew rapidly. After the ottoman Empire became powerful, in 1453 Murat II's son Mehmet II conquered Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. From then on, Constantinople was renamed Istanbul and became the capital until the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Hagia Sophia in Constantinople was converted into a mosque with the construction of 4 additional minarets.
Territory of the Ottoman Empire in 1593
In 1512, Selim I destroyed the Maluk dynasty in Egypt, occupied Egypt and Iraq, and took over the protection of Mecca and Medina, the two holy sites of Islam, and the Ottoman Empire would become a veritable ally of the Islamic world.
Although the Ottoman Empire was quite powerful, it had not yet reached its heyday. The heyday of the Ottoman Empire was during the reign of Sultan Suleiman I, the 10th monarch. At this time, due to territorial expansion, the territory of the Ottoman Empire expanded to Central Europe and North Africa.
During this period, Suleiman I conquered Belgrade, defeated Hungary through the Battle of Mohács, occupied most of Hungary's territory, captured Rhodos Island, drove out the Knights of St. John, and seized the sea power of comrades in the middle sea. "The Middle East attacked the Safavid dynasty and conquered Baghdad, and in the south conquered Aden in Yemen.
Suleiman the Magnificent also besieged Vienna for more than a month. The First Siege of Vienna ended in failure, but the entry of Islamic forces from Western European countries into the center of Europe was impacted. One of the reasons why the Ottoman army was able to defeat the armies of Western Europe was the appearance of artillery armed with artillery (Yeniceri). The Ottoman Empire made Yeniceri a standing army with a strong army.
The Ottoman Empire fell
Russo-Turkish War Battle of 1788 at the Empty City of Ochakov
The Ottoman Empire seized control of Tunisia and the Balkans, becoming the hegemon of Eastern Europe and Little Asia. But it gradually declined from the 18th century. Against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire's ability to grow strong, there was a huge interest in entrepot trade between Europe and Asia. However, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, western European countries had independent access to various commodities in Asia without going through the Ottoman Empire.
Naturally, the Ottoman Empire's benefits from entrepot trade diminished. Beginning in 1699, Hungary was taken away, and the aftermath of the French Revolution set off a worldwide atmosphere of pursuit of democratic revolution and national independence, and the ottoman Empire gradually reduced its territory. European countries, including Austria, began to reclaim territories taken by the Ottoman Empire. In the pursuit of national independence, the Arabs and other dominated peoples began to carry out independence movements and continued to wage war with the Russian Empire.
Ottoman troops attacked the fortress of Schevketil during the Crimean War of 1853-1856
By 1830, Greece would be independent and even invaded by Britain, France, and Russia. The Ottoman Empire was constantly defeated by European powers and even insulted by European patients. In this context, the Ottoman Empire also implemented a variety of reforms.
But with the crushing defeat in the war with Russia in 1878, the reforms were interrupted, and the economic situation of the Ottoman Empire was at a crossroads of extinction in the context of the semi-colonization of Europe.
Ottoman pilots in early 1912
As a result, the Ottoman Empire went bankrupt in 1875 due to financial panic in Western Europe and agricultural harvest failures, and suffered defeat in the war with Russia, and European capital began to enter the Ottoman Empire, and European culture began to spread rapidly to the Empire.
By the 1900s, the Ottoman Empire would also look like Europe. In the process, Sultan Abdul hamit II of the Ottoman Empire was deposed by the Young Turks and Mehmed V was revered as Sultan. The Young Turk Party, like other powers, practised an arms race and proposed equality among all peoples. It was only the Young Turks' proposed equality that was limited to the Turks, thus ultimately igniting the desire for independence of the dominated peoples, including the Arabs. As a result, the First Balkan War broke out and Albania became independent.
The Ottoman Empire maintained friendly relations with britain at the outbreak of World War I. The Ottoman Empire, in its showdown with the independent Balkan states ( especially Greece ) , recognized the importance of naval power , and in order to secure new warships , even a fundraising campaign was carried out , ordering 2 warships from the British. However, the warships of one of the two ships (which had already been ordered by Brazil, but as Brazil's economic situation deteriorated, the Ottoman Empire wanted to acquire the abandoned warships) was a ridiculous move by the British naval commander Winston Churchill to lend for £1,000 a day, while forcing the expulsion of the Ottoman Navy (the Ottoman Empire had paid for the ships) that had been riding to buy the warships.
As a result, due to the actions of Winston Churchill, public opinion in the Ottoman Empire, which had always remained neutral, deteriorated, and the cruisers and light cruisers of the German Navy were just driven into Istanbul by the British Navy, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II gave these cruisers as gifts to the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans took the side of the Allies in the First World War, and the defeat of the Allies in the war was in fact tantamount to extinction. In 1922, Mehmet VI was deposed and the Ottoman Empire officially collapsed, and the Republic of Turkey took the place.
The Ottoman Empire appears in the game
Europe 4
The Ottoman Empire appeared as a major state in Europa 4. The game begins in 1444, as it appears in history, and soon after, the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) collapsed. The military force is also very strong, and over time, you can see the historical Yugoslav, Hungarian, Austrian and other Ottoman Empires.
HEARTS OF IRON 4
The second game is Heart Of Iron 4, a game that can be started in 1936 and 1939. Because it is a World War II-themed game, Turkey is not the protagonist. But in the recently issued Bosphorus Battle DLC, Greece and Turkey were modified.
This DLC gave Turkey a focus on rebuilding the Ottoman Empire. Coupled with the fact that Germany could also become the German Empire during World War I, Austria and Hungary could also return to the Austrian and Hungarian Empires, so the choice became larger.
Assassin's Creed
The third game is the title Assassin's Creed. In the game, Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire and the capital of the Ottoman Empire, is the main background.
In the game, famous figures of the Ottoman Empire also appear, such as Piri Reis and Suleiman I. Although it is underrepresented compared to the recently released works of Assassin Creed, even so, it is possible to see the youth of Suleiman I, who led the heyday of the Ottoman Empire, and Constantinople (Istanbul) under the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1922, so it is now a country that is not in the world. Of course, the state in which the Ottoman Empire was changed was the Republic of Turkey, so the Ottoman Empire may still exist. But the Ottoman Empire had a sultan, and because it was possible for a sultan to be the head of state, it was officially considered to be extinct.
The Ottoman Empire often played a negative role in games or various media. Because from the Western point of view, the Ottoman Empire was an Islamic force, an empire that invaded Europe after destroying the Eastern Roman Empire. During the period of the ottoman Empire's great power, although holding the position of gangster by European standards, it was called the "Patient of Europe", ridiculed, and in the First World War, due to the actions of Winston Churchill, he participated in the war and embarked on the road to extinction, and from the perspective of the Ottoman Empire, there should also be some sense of grievance.
It was only that the Ottoman Empire itself was a state formed after the occupation of many countries, and in the 1900s, when nationalism and democracy were officially beginning to sprout, the collapse was taken for granted. Because the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, which was also a multi-ethnic state, also collapsed after the defeat in World War I.
