Title: Turkoman (ethnonym)
Content:   The Ottoman Empire was a state that controlled much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa between the 14th and early 20th centuries. It was founded at the end of the 13th century in northwestern Anatolia in the town of Söğüt (modern-day Bilecik Province) by the Turkoman tribal leader Osman I. Initially a small Turkoman beylik out of many in Anatolia, the beylik of Osman grew to become one of the largest land empires in history, becoming a great power by the 16th century, reaching its peak of prosperity as well as the highest development of its government, social, and economic systems, under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. The effective military and bureaucratic structures onwards from the 18th century came under strain during a protracted period of misrule by certain Sultans. Despite these difficulties, the Empire remained a major expansionist power until the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Much of the decline took place in the 19th century under pressure from Russia. Egypt and the Balkans were lost by 1913, and the Empire disintegrated after the First World War, leaving Turkey as the successor state.
