Ottoman Empire : Ottoman empire

The Ottoman Empire (sometimes referred to in diplomatic circles as the "Sublime Port" or simply as "the Porte") comprised a state established by the Turkish tribe of Söğüt in western Anatolia in the early 14th century. The founder was Osman I (in Arabic ʿUthmān, hence the name Ottoman Empire). As sultan Mehmed II conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, and the state grew into a mighty empire. The Empire reached its apex under Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century when it stretched from the Persian Gulf in the east to Hungary in the northwest; and from Egypt in the south to the Caucasus in the north.

In the 17th century the Ottoman Empire began a long decline, which ended four years after the defeat of the empire by the Allies in World War I.

The following were the sultans of the Ottoman Empire:

About the waist, and the hem around the bottom,-- Zut and ehe! Where does one go from here! COLUMBINE: Here's a persimmon, love. You always liked them. PIERROT: I am become a critic; there is nothing I'll eat it between meals. COLUMBINE: Pierrot, do you know, There never was. "Moon's" just a word to swear by. And set the tooth in! Listen, Columbine: Food is my only lust. COLUMBINE: Well, eat it, then, I haven't heard the clock tick for an hour. PIERROT: It's ticking all the same. If you were a fly, I could be talking for a thousand years!
