The Ottoman Empire grew from the conquests of a Turkish Muslim warrior
named Osman. The House of Osman, whose rulers were known as sultans
(a Muslim sovereign), ruled in dynastic succession until 1922. In
that year the Ottoman Empire was formally abolished; in the following
year the Republic of Turkey was created.

of his son Muhammad II, but returned to the throne to defeat a threat
by a European army. |
