Ottoman Empire

Ottoman Empire appears on the map from 1305 to 1923. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1595, it covered about 4.26 million km².

The Ottomans began as one of many small Turkish principalities in north-west Anatolia, led around 1299 by Osman, from whom the dynasty takes its name. Combining frontier warfare against Byzantium with skilful alliances, his successors expanded into the Balkans, and in 1453 Mehmed II captured Constantinople. Selim I conquered the Mamluk lands of Syria, Egypt and Arabia, and under Suleiman the Magnificent the empire reached Hungary and dominated the eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea.
