This book offers a social and historical exploration of the Ottoman Empire.The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful empires in history, known for its military prowess, multicultural make-up, and advances in art and architecture. Positioned at the crossroads of East and West, at its height it encompassed most of Southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In existence from the late 13th century until 1922, the Ottoman legacy can still be felt today throughout the Balkans and the Arab world in the areas of politics, diplomacy, education, language, and religion. This comprehensive volume adds a level of historical understanding to the current conflicts within the Western and Islamic worlds.Narrative chapters explore the Central Asian Origins of the empire, the conquest of Asia Minor, the Fall of Constantinople, the decline of empire and European conquest, reform and political awakening, and the rise of nationalism and the disintegration of the Ottoman state. Biographical portraits supplement the narrative, and selections from influential primary documents give historical evidence of the events. Useful illustrations, a chronology, index, and extensive bibliography make this an ideal source for students of Middle Eastern, Asian, European, and world history.
