Das Osmanische Reich: Aufstieg, Blütezeit und Fall seiner Sultane (Dokumentation, 2002)

The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful empires in history. Founded by the Ottomans in Anatolia, it expanded rapidly, conquering Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, which became its capital. The empire spanned three continents: Southeast Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire reached its zenith under sultans like Suleiman the Magnificent. It was a multicultural and multi-ethnic state with an efficient administrative system. From the 18th century onward, its decline began, marked by military defeats, economic problems, and internal conflicts. After World War I, the empire was dissolved in 1922, and from its remnants, modern Turkey emerged in 1923 under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. ``` Notable sultans of the Ottoman Empire included: Osman I (1299–1326) – Founder of the Ottoman Empire Orhan I (1326–1362) – Expanded the empire in Anatolia and into Europe Murad I (1362–1389) – Conquered parts of the Balkans, introduced the Janissary corps Bayezid I (1389–1402) – Known as "the Lightning" (Yıldırım), was defeated by Timur Mehmed I (1413–1421) – Ended the civil war after the defeat by Timur Murad II (1421–1444, 1446–1451) – Waged wars against Christian powers in the Balkans Mehmed II (1451–1481) – "The Conqueror" (Fatih), captured Constantinople in 1453 Bayezid II (1481–1512) – Consolidated the empire and welcomed refugees from Spain Selim I (1512–1520) – Conquered Egypt and the Middle East, making the empire a caliphate Suleiman I (1520–1566) – “The Magnificent,” greatest territorial extent of the empire Selim II (1566–1574) – “The Drunken,” lost the Battle of Lepanto Murad III (1574–1595) – Strong internal power struggles and corruption in the empire Mehmed III (1595–1603) – Waged wars against Austria and Persia Ahmed I (1603–1617) – Builder of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul Osman II (1618–1622) – Attempted reforms, but was overthrown and assassinated Murad IV (1623–1640) – Strong ruler, banned alcohol and tobacco Ibrahim I (1640–1648) – “The Madman”, was deposed and assassinated Mehmed IV (1648–1687) – Reigned during the Siege of Vienna in 1683 Mustafa II (1695–1703) – Forced to abdicate after military defeats Mahmud II (1808–1839) – Reformed the military and abolished the Janissaries Abdülhamid II (1876–1909) – Last absolute ruler, implemented modernizations Mehmed VI.
