The Ottoman Empire, one of the longest-lasting and most influential empires in world history, was founded in the late 13th century by Osman I in the region of Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. Rising from a small Turkish principality, the Ottomans expanded rapidly, becoming a major political, military, and cultural force. At its height, the empire spanned three continents, encompassing vast territories in Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The Ottomans are known for their powerful sultans, impressive military innovations, such as the elite Janissary corps, and a unique system of governance that allowed for relative religious and cultural pluralism. The empire played a central role in global trade, politics, and culture for over six centuries, influencing the course of European, Middle Eastern, and African history until its dissolution in the aftermath of World War I.
