The Ottoman empire formed in the 1300’s and went through several centuries of expansion to the east and west. By the 1700’s Ottoman political and military power was waning, despite the large geographical extent of its possessions.

The Ottoman Empire collapsed after World War I, paving the way for a much smaller and politically modern Republic of Turkey.
