History

The Kayı Tribe served the Sultanate of Rûm. The Ottoman Empire was created after Kayı Tribe's leader Ertuğrul Bey died, and Osman I, his son claimed himself as the leader and formed Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire developed himself and made it famous near and in Anatolia for being tolerant, and also investing a lot on trade. Ottoman was also good at diplomacy, and managed to annex several Beyliks with royal marriages. Then, Ottoman Empire began expanding west. He conquered the Karasids and captured its large navy. He took advantage of Byzantine pretender rebels in Southern Byzantine Empire. and took control of the rebel occupied areas, including the fort in Gallipoli. However, he refuse to give back the clay to Byzantine Empire, thus souring the relations with them.

After Ottoman Empire proclaimed its permanent position in Anatolia over time, he conquered and inherited throne of all other Beyliks. He also fought with Serbian Empire and Byzantine Empire because of clay dispute and expanded westwards into the Balkans. However, Timurid Empire didn't like this. He was jealous of Ottoman and wanted Anatolia for himself. Because of that, he declared war on Ottoman Empire and beat him half to death. The sultan was captured, throne dispute happened which sparked a 12 years old civil war known as "Fetret Devri". After the civil war ended, Ottoman Empire began regathering his strength, although many nations have regained their independence from him. For a while, Ottoman Empire only conquered the tiny independent Beyliks in Anatolia and worked on its inner issues while solidifying his rule.

In 1453, the Ottomans sieged Constantinople (which ended the Byzantine Empire), thus began the rise of the Ottomans.
