Empire based around the Turkish sultan, lasting
from 1300 until 1922, and covering at its peak
(1683- 99) an area including today's Hungary,
Yugoslavia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia,
Greece, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, southern
Ukraine, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia Iraq, Kuwait,
Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine,
Jordan, eastern and western Saudi Arabia, Oman,
Bahrain, eastern Yemen, Egypt, northern Libya,
Tunisia, and northern Algeria.The Ottoman Empire
was not a Turkish empire as such, since Turks did
not profit more from the benefits of the state
than the peoples in non-Turkish territories. And
even though the first sultans were Turkish, they
generally married non-Turkish women, so the race
of later sultans was not Turkish either.The
empire was through most of its period not a state
in the modern sense of the word, but more of a
military administration.While the Ottoman Empire
at its death bed had few friends, it still had
offered its inhabitants many benefits through
most of its existence. For Muslims it was
considered as a defence against the non-Muslim
world. For non-Muslims it offered a better life
and more security than Christian states up until
the 18th century. For most of its inhabitants it
had offered career possibilities. And it offered
peace and relative harmony to all its inhabitants
despite cultural and ethnic differences.
