=== Beginnings === <i>Main article: [[Lesser Ottoman Empire]]</i><br> The [[File:Kayi-icon.png]] [[Kayı Tribe]] served the [[File:RumSult-icon.png]] [[Sultanate of Rûm]]. The Ottoman Empire was established after [[File:Kayi-icon.png]] [[Kayı Tribe|Ertuğrul Bey]], the leader of the [[File:Kayi-icon.png]] [[Kayı Tribe]], died. His son, [[File:Ottoman-icon.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|Osman I]], claimed leadership and formed the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman successfully annexed several Beyliks. The Ottomans began expanding westward, conquering the [[File:Karasid-icon.png]] [[Karasid Dynasty|Karasids]] and capturing their navy. They took advantage of [[File:Byzantine-icon.png]] [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] internal conflicts to control areas, which strained relations with the [[File:Byzantine-icon.png]] [[Byzantine Empire]]. After securing their position in Anatolia, the Ottomans conquered other Beyliks. They expanded into the Balkans, fighting the [[File:Serbian Empire-icon.png]] [[Serbian Empire|Serbian]] and [[File:Byzantine-icon.png]] [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] Empires over territorial disputes. The [[File:Timurid Empire-icon.png]] [[Timurid Empire]], feeling threatened, declared war on the Ottomans, leading to a significant defeat and the capture of the Ottoman sultan. This sparked a 12-year civil war known as the "Fetret Devri." After the civil war, the Ottomans slowly regained strength, re-conquering small independent Beyliks in Anatolia and focusing on internal consolidation.
