First sentence: The arrival of the Osmanli or Ottoman Turks, as they are more familiarly known, who were to exert an almost limitless impact on Europe and Asia for so many centuries was relatively discreet and modest, as in the simplest terms they were basically just one among the numerous small Turkish principalities which took root in Antolia from the eleventh century onwards.
