They invaded and took over part of the Byzantine Empire- the world’s most powerful empire at the time.
WHEN1300’s
HOWOsman was a very successful ghazi who built a small Muslim state in Anatolia
Those who followed him were called Ottomans
The Ottomans expanded by buying land, forming alliances, and conquering others
They had a strong military because of gunpowder, muskets, and they were the first to use cannons.
WHAT ARE SOME WAYS THAT THE OTTOMANS EXPANDED?
WHAT TECHNOLOGY DID THE OTTOMANS HAVE THAT MADE THEM SUPERIOR
RULE UNDER ORKHAN I
The second leader was Orkhan IHe called himself sultan-overlord or the one with powerUnder Orkhan I they took over AdrianopleThe Ottomans were fair to those they took over Muslims had to serve in the army and make contributions required by their faith.
Non-Muslims did not have to serve in the army but had to pay taxes instead
WHY DO YOU THINK THE OTTOMANS WERE FAIR TO OTHER RELIGIONS?
TIMUR THE LAME HALTS EXPANSION
The Ottoman Empire was attacked by warriors from Central Asia led by Timur the Lame.
He was called Timur the Lame because of an arrow injury to his leg
He stopped the expansion of the Ottomans
FIGHT TO THE DEATH After Timur the Lame left, the four sultan’s sons fought over who would be next to rule
Mehmed I won and ruled until his death followed by his son Murad II
Murad II expanded into Hungary and the Balkans
MEHMED II Mehmed II aka Mehmed the Conqueror was next to rule.
He wanted to take over Constantinople
WHY THERE?Constantinople controlled the Bosporus Strait.Whoever controls this waterway controls trade between Asia and the Balkans.
WHY WAS CONSTANTINOPLE IMPORTANT?
HOW DID HE TAKE IT OVER?
His army used cannons to break city walls They could not get to it by water because a chain across the Golden Horn between the Bosporus Strait and the Sea of Marmara blocked them
At night Mehmed’s army dragged 70 ships over land to the other side of the harbor.
They took over the city 7 weeks later.
HOW DID THE OTTOMANS TAKE OVER CONSTANTINOPLE?
WHAT HAPPENED ONCE IT WAS CONQUERED?
Under Mehmed’s rule Constantinople was open to all religions.
They rebuilt the city and changed the name to Istanbul
SELIM THE GRIM Mehmed’s grandson, Selim the Grim was the next ruler
Under his rule he expanded into Persia, Syria, Palestine, and North Africa
SULEYMAN THE LAWGIVER
Selim the Grim’s son
A.K.A. Suleyman the Lawgiver and Suleyman the Magnificant
He was such a great military leader that under him the empire was the biggest.
Since the empire was so big he had to figure out a way to control it.
He took the empire and broke into small nations called millets.
Each millet could have their own religious laws and practices but they were overseen by a governor assigned by the Sultan who reported back to him.
He also created unified laws and a simpler tax system which is why he got his nickname.
EXPLAIN HOW SULEYMAN MADE THE EMPIRE EASIER TO CONTROL
SULEYMAN THE LAWGIVER
To increase the army Suleyman used the devshirme system.
This was when the Ottomans took boys from conquered christian territories, educated them, converted them to Islam, and trained them to be soldiers.
Becoming a devshirme was an easy was to gain a high position in the government and the military.
Many Christians actually bribed government officials to take their children for the devshirme.
He also created an elite force of soldiers that were loyal to the SULTAN only. They were called janissaries.
WHY WOULD PARENTS WANT THEIR KID TO BE APART OF THE DEVSHIRME?
WHY IS THE JANNISARIES A GOOD IDEA ON SULEYMAN’S PART?
SULEYMAN THE LAWGIVER
Suleyman was a great leader expect when it came to his kids.
Suleyman killed his ablest son, drove another into exile, leaving just his incompetent son Selim II left to rule.
His son had been locked away so he did not know the laws, how the tax system worked, and anything about the people in his kindgom.
For whatever reason Suleyman set the tone for later sultans to gain and hold power.
