The Ottoman Empire - 1300-1600

Abstract: (5 pp) An empire is defined as 'a large state or a group of states under a single ruler,' and the historic group this is called 'Ottoman' is seldom described without the addition, 'Empire,' after it. It is a good combination of terms for a group of people, from what is now Turkey that, were able to remain as a collective organization for over 600 years. An empire is usually said to have a youth, a middle age, and then a decline, but it is unusual that this would occur over such a long time frame. This discussion will examine the Ottoman Empire to see what successes contributed to its growth and maintenance. Bibliography lists 1 source.
