The term "Osmanlı" refers to the Ottoman Empire, a vast and influential state that existed from the late 13th century until the early 20th century. Founded by Osman I, the empire expanded across three continents, including parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was known for its rich culture, architecture, and advancements in various fields, including science and art. The Ottoman Empire was characterized by a complex administrative system and a diverse population, comprising various ethnic and religious groups. It played a significant role in world history, particularly during the Suleiman the Magnificent era, when it reached its peak in power and territorial extent. The empire officially dissolved after World War I, leading to the establishment of the modern Republic of Turkey.
