Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Empire, officially called the Sublime Ottoman State, is a Tri-Continental nation in the Balkans, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and North Africa, Africa. It is also home to Mecca, Medina, and the Caliph of Islam.

## History

### Rise

The Osman Dynasty rose from a Turkish tribal clan, which the first Sultan, Osman I, proclaimed himself a Sultan. Until the mid-1400s, it's greatest enemy was the Eastern Roman Empire, until it eventually was conquered in 1453, it's conquest by Mehmed II.

### The expansion and peak.

Throughout the next few centuries, the Ottoman Empire invaded Iraq, Assyria, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and North Africa. During these events, the Ottomans succeeded the Egyptian Abbasids as the Caliphate of Islam. The Ottomans eventually calmed down, and shrank...

### Decline

Throughout the 1800s and 1900s, many nations revolted from the Ottoman Empire, and established themselves as independent nations, such as Greece, Armenia, and Hashemite Arabia.

### The Great War, Liberalization, and resurgence

The Ottoman Empire participated in the Great War on the side of the Central Powers. While the Entente grew, and things looked bad for the Central Powers (Germany, Austria, and Bulgaria.), until this Monarch emerged from an alternate dimension, Princess Celestia of the Kingdom of Equestria. Equestria's magical weaponry helped the Central Powers emerge victorious. After this, the Arabs revolted and established the Kingdom of Hashemite Arabia (Which they defeated the Al-Saud clan). The Hashemites allowed the Ottomans to keep Hejaz, however, so that the Islamic world can keep their Caliph. The Ottomans reclaimed Libya from Italy as well. During all these events, Mehmed VI created a new democratic parliament. Mustafa Kemal Pasha was elected the first Grand Vizier of the new Democratic Ottoman Empire, and greatly liberalized and modernized the Empire.

### Post-War

The Ottoman Empire eventually retook it's place as a true great power, and is the second most powerful country in Europe, after Germany. With Islam becoming more and more popular, more people became loyal to the Ottomans, and the Ottoman Empire spread their Jihad throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa further, outdoing Austria-Hungary, but not to the level of Superpower status like the Germans. To this day, the Ottoman Empire remains rich, democratic, and great.
