Osman I, also known as Osman Gazi, (born 1258 - died 1324 or 1326), is the emperor of Turkmen in northwestern Anatolia regarded as the founder of the Ottoman Empire. Both the name of the dynasty and the kingdom established by the dynasty are derived from the Arabic form (ʿUthmān) of his name.
Osman was born in Kayı's Oğuz Turkmen branch. His father, Ertugrul, had appointed a commander to focus on Sögüt. Since Sögüt was their base, Osman and the Muslims on the Muslim frontier (Ghazis) under his command began a small and stubborn conflict against the Byzantines, who wanted to defend their territories in the central Asiatic coast bordering Constantinople (now Istanbul). Gradually Osman expanded his control over several former Byzantine forts, including Yenişehir, which provided the Ottomans with a solid foundation for the siege of Bursa and Nicaea (now nznik), in northwestern Anatolia. Osman was assisted by his son Orhan, who conquered Bursa on April 6, 1326. Ottoman tradition states that Osman died shortly after Bursa's capture, but some scholars have suggested that his death should be set in 1324, the year Orhan's reign. .
imperialism, state policy, practice, or the promotion of expanding power and domination, especially by direct access to land or political and economic control in some areas. Because it always involves the use of force, whether military or economic or other subtle means, imperialism is often regarded as a moral offense, and the term is often used in international discourse to accuse and defame an opponent’s foreign policy.
The Emperial Empire in ancient times is evident in the history of China and in the history of western Asia and the Mediterranean - the endless succession of empires. The Assyrian dictatorship was replaced (6th-4th century BCE) by the Persians, in sharp contrast with the Assyrians in their liberation of the empire, ensuring its longevity. Eventually it allowed Greek imperialism. When Greek imperialism reached its climax under Alexander the Great (356-33 BCE), a union of eastern Mediterranean and western Asia was formed. But the cosmopolis, in which all the inhabitants of the earth would live in harmony and equality, remained Alexander's dream. It was found only a short time when the Romans established their empire from Britain to Egypt.
This concept of empires as a unifying force was not realized again after the fall of Rome. Nations from the ashes of the Roman Empire in Europe, and Asia on the common basis of Islamic civilization (see the Islamic world), followed their own non-political policies. Imperialism became a divisive force in the world.
Three times in modern times saw the formation of great empires, especially colonial ones. During the 15th and 18th centuries, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain established empires in the Americas, India, and the East Indies. Nearly a century later, there was more peace in the empire building because of the strong reaction to imperialism. Then, in the decades between the 19th century and the first world war (1914-18), they were again confronted with powerful policies.
