Rise of The Ottoman Empire Part2

During Seljuk's rule small Muslim groups called Beyliks protected the boundaries with the Byzantines. The defeat of Byzantine by Seljuk at the Battle of Manzikert, gave Beyliks a chance to be an independent state. After the death of Seljuk in the 14th century, the Turkish Anatolia was divided into independent states, known as Ghazi emirates.

Ertrugrul led one of the Beylik principalities. Osman I established the Ottoman dynasty in 1299. Orhan I succeeded Osman I. He conquered Nicaea in 1331 and Nicomedia in 1337. Murad I who succeeded Orhan I defeated the Byzantine at the Battle of Adrianople.

In 1387, Thessaloniki city was captured from the Venetians. The Ottomans defeated Serbia at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. In the Battle of Ankara in 1402, Sultan Bayezid I was taken as prisoner by Timur. The power of the Empire was restored by Mehmed I ending the Interregnum. Mehmed II captured Constantinople in 1453 and made it the capital. The invasion of Constantinople made the Ottomans a supreme power in south-east Europe and east Mediterranean. The Empire flourished during the rule of Selim I.

He established Ottoman rule in Egypt and created a naval presence on the Red Sea. Suleiman I captured Belgrade in 1521. In 1535, Baghdad was captured from the Persians. The Ottomans became a dominant naval force under Selim and Suleiman.
