| Description |
Ottoman Empire, empire created by Turkish tribes in
Anatolia (Asia Minor) that grew to be one of the most
powerful states in the world during the 15th and 16th
centuries. The Ottoman period spanned more than
600 years and came to an end only in 1922, when it
was replaced by the Turkish Republic and various
successor states in southeastern Europe and the
Middle East. At its height the empire encompassed
most of southeastern Europe to the gates of Vienna,
including present-day Hungary, the Balkan region,
Greece, and parts of Ukraine; portions of the Middle
East now occupied by Iraq, Syria, Israel, and Egypt;
North Africa as far west as Algeria; and large parts of
the Arabian Peninsula. The term Ottoman is a
dynastic appellation derived from Osman I (Arabic:
?Uthman), the nomadic Turkmen chief who founded
both the dynasty and the empire about 1300.
