In the late 13th century, the Anatolian region was a mosaic of fragmented states, weakened by internal conflict and external invasions. Among these groups were the Turks, originally Central Asian nomads, who had migrated westward in waves over centuries. Their destiny would shift dramatically with the decline of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum and the vacuum left by the Mongol invasions, creating space for new leadership to emerge.</p><p>The Seljuks had once dominated much of Anatolia, but their weakening rule after the Mongol defeat at the Battle of Kse Dag in 1243 left the region divided among various beyliks, or small principalities. One such principality was led by a chieftain named Ertugrul, who had settled near the Byzantine frontier. Upon his death, leadership passed to his son, Osman, a bold and ambitious leader who would become the namesake of the Ottoman dynasty. Osmans emergence marked a turning point, as his military successes and political acumen allowed him to consolidate power and expand his territory, laying the foundation for what would become the Ottoman Empire.</p><p>Osman Is rise coincided with a period of instability within the Byzantine Empire, which was plagued by civil wars and weakened borders. Taking advantage of this, Osman led raids into Byzantine lands, gradually carving out a small but growing domain. More than just a warrior, Osman capitalized on the frontier spirit, attracting ghazisMuslim warriors motivated by the idea of fighting non-Muslims. These fighters brought not only military strength but also religious legitimacy to Osmans rule, enabling him to establish a principality that combined spiritual purpose with political ambition.</p>...7059469Rise of the Ottoman Empire, The8282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/rise-of-the-ottoman-empire--the-9798318250965/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7023891/image.jpg?v=638791152341000000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro2025Inglés
