Das neue G/GESCHICHTE-Magazin entführt einen in die facettenreiche Welt der Osmanen: Von der Eroberung Konstantinopels durch das machtvolle osmanische Heer im Jahr 1453 über die religiöse Toleranz, die gleichzeitig auch bestand und das Osmanische Reich zu einem Schmelztiegel der Völker machte, bis hin zum Niedergang dieses Imperiums, das mit dem Ersten Weltkrieg sein Ende fand, wird hier der Beginn und der Fall der Osmanen über viele Jahrhunderte eindrücklich und tiefgehend behandelt.

El Imperio Otomano se alió con Alemania y Austria-Hungría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Esto resultó, entre otras consecuencias catastróficas, en la guerra que duró dos años más de lo que debería, las dos revoluciones rusas de 1917 y la dictadura bolchevique, el genocidio del pueblo armenio, quince millones de muertos y el desmembramiento del Imperio Otomano, con el nacimiento de una miríada de nuevos Estados en Oriente Medio cuya inestabilidad social, económica y política sigue sin resolverse un siglo después.

A history of Armenian masonry that goes back to the legendary origins of Noah to the operative stone masons to the speculative masons to the lodges of the 1800s, their destruction during the genocide, and their revival in 1991.

The town of Caldiran (Chaldiran) in Turkey is home to about 60,000 people. In the early 16th century, it was the site of different kinds of faultlines, serving as a battleground between the region’s two greatest powers as they clashed over politics and religion. On August 23, 1514 two sides clashed at Chaldiran in a contest for hegemony over the Middle East. The course of the conflict can be reconstructed from the politics of the time, knowledge of the characters involved, the contemporary records are available, and what followed the battle.

In 1393, the Tsar of Bulgaria, Ivan Shishman, defended Nicopolis in a last stand against the invading Ottoman Empire, but the well-known battle named after the town occurred in 1396, when an army of knights from all over Europe faced an Ottoman army. This battle is famous for representing the last time that Christian Europe (or, at least, most of it) united under a single banner to fight a common foe, and the military venture is often called the Last Crusade.

Suleiman the Magnificent, the 10th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, may be an unfamiliar figure to many today. But in the 16th century, his military campaigns played a huge role in the shifting face of European politics. He was a man in search of power. His quest carried him not only to daring military exploits in Europe and Asia, but also through the intricate web of the Ottoman court, where deceit, scheming, and treachery abounded.

La larga agonía del “hombre enfermo de Europa” , una expresión utilizada por el Zar de Rusia para describir la caída del Imperio Otomano, podía casi cegar a la gente de su increíble poder e historia. Preservando su herencia mixta, proveniente tanto de su posición geográfica que se elevaba sobre las cenizas del Imperio Bizantino como de la tradición heredada de las conquistas musulmanas, el Imperio Otomano duró más de seis siglos.

En términos de geopolítica, quizás el acontecimiento más importante de la Edad Media fue el exitoso asedio otomano a Constantinopla en 1453. La ciudad había sido una capital imperial ya en el siglo IV, cuando Constantino el Grande cambió el centro de poder del Imperio Romano, estableciendo efectivamente dos mitades casi igualmente poderosas del imperio más grande de la antigüedad. Constantinopla seguiría siendo la capital del Imperio Bizantino incluso después de que la mitad occidental del Imperio Romano se derrumbara a finales del siglo V.

In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the fourth century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity's greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late fifth century.

Era dai tempi di Atatürk che un uomo non dominava la Turchia così a lungo come Erdogan. Erdogan arrivò al potere nel 2002, un anno dopo la nascita del suo partito AKP, e fu Primo Ministro per undici anni, prima di diventare, ad agosto del 2014, il primo presidente a elezione diretta nella storia della nazione. In teoria, il suo sarebbe stato un ruolo prestigioso ma di cerimonia, con scarso potere politico concreto. Ma la sua ambizione di dare all'incarico poteri più consistenti non sono mai state troppo velate.

Toda su increíble sucesión de Sultanes, y sus horas de gloria y su larga agonía, ¡en pocos minutos!

America's engagement with the Arab world stretches back far beyond the Iraq wars. According to Milton Viorst, the current conflict is simply the latest round in a 1,400-year struggle between Christianity and Islam, in which the United States became a participant only in the last century.

SIDEN 2002 HAR Recep Tayyip Erdogan og hans islamiske parti vundet samtlige valg i Tyrkiet. Dæmoniseret i Vesten som populist og totalitær despot repræsenterer Erdogan på hjemmebanen en ny national selvbevidsthed, der har gjort hans land til en regional stormagt og medlem af G20-klubben. På under 20 år er Tyrkiet blevet ændret til en moderne, islamorienteret stat, og Erdogan har med halvdelen af vælgernes samtykke gennemført hidtil usete sociale og økonomiske forbedringer af tyrkernes levevilkår, men samtidig konsekvent set stort på menneskerettigheder, demokrati og ytringsfrihed.

Die Rolle des Osmanischen Reiches in der Weltgeschichte – von einem kleinen türkischen Fürstentum zu einer globalen Supermacht – ist unbestreitbar. Über sechs Jahrhunderte lang war das Reich das wohl stärkste muslimische Imperium der Welt und beherrschte seine Rivalen in Europa und Asien über viele Jahre hinweg.

Ispirato ai ricordi familiari dell'autrice, il racconto della tragedia di un popolo "mite e fantasticante", gli armeni, e la struggente nostalgia per una terra e una felicità perdute. La masseria delle allodole è la casa, sulle colline dell'Anatolia, dove nel maggio 1915, all'inizio dello sterminio degli armeni da parte dei turchi, vengono trucidati i maschi della famiglia, adulti e bambini, e da dove comincia l'odissea delle donne, trascinate fino in Siria attraverso atroci marce forzate e campi di prigionia.

As this all suggests, the story of the Young Turks and the last years of the Ottoman Sultanate is a complex and interesting one. It is the history of a state struggling to survive against seemingly impossible odds, featuring a long battle for the minds and souls of the inhabitants of a declining empire. An empire caught between nationalism and liberal imperialism.

In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453.

The Rise of the Ottoman Empire chronicles the rise of one of history’s most influential empires. You will learn about the rise of the Ottoman Empire like never before.

Where did writing, culture, and agriculture begin? The Middle East is the cradle of civilization - where humankind once roamed in small groups of hunter-gatherers and foraged for food and shelter, then learned to plant crops and build structures. Today, we are an advanced civilization that has conquered the skies, oceans, and even the moon. To understand how this transformation occurred, take a brief trip back into the history of the Middle East, where it all began.
