The Ottoman Empire was a dynastic kingdom whose rule encompassed most of the Middle
East, most of North Africa, and parts of Europe at its peak in the mid-seventeenth
century. Osman I founded the Ottoman Empire in the early fourteenth century, and subsequent
rulers, or Sultans, rapidly expanded the boundaries of the territory. In the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, putting an end to
the powerful Byzantine Empire, and expanded north into Europe, becoming a major player
in European politics. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the power of the
Ottoman Empire had been declining for several hundred years, and the Empire officially
dissolved at the end of the First World War. This dictionary includes detailed entries
on key figures, ideas, places, and themes related to Ottoman history and culture
