Sublime Ottoman State

The Sublime Ottoman State, also known as the Ottoman Empire, was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state that existed from the late 13th century to the early 20th century. The empire was founded by the Ottoman Turks with the leadership of Osman I (Uthman in Arabic) and was centered in Istanbul (formerly Constantinople). At its height, the Ottoman Empire controlled much of southeastern Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. The empire was known for its military might and for its cultural and architectural achievements, as well as for its complex government system that combined elements of Islamic law and traditional Turkish tribal organization.
