Auke de Haan: The History of the Ottoman Empire, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

The Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful and enduring states in world history, spanning six centuries and three continents at its height. The History of the Ottoman Empire traces the story of this extraordinary state from its origins as a small Anatolian principality in the late thirteenth century through its conquest of Constantinople, the expansion into Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, the long period of reform and decline, and its final dissolution after the First World War.

The book covers the major periods of Ottoman history in a clear and accessible way: the founding dynasty, the age of Suleiman the Magnificent, the conflicts with Safavid Persia and the Habsburg Empire, the Tanzimat reforms, the Young Turk revolution, and the empire's collapse following its defeat in 1918. It also examines the complex legacy of the Ottoman state for the modern countries that emerged from its former territories. Readers will come away with a solid understanding of one of history's great empires.
