The story of Ottoman history is a complicated and complex one. It involves not only
the Ottoman dynasty itself but also the many peoples who operated and ruled the empire and
were ruled by it-the Turks, the Arabs, the Serbs, the Greeks, the Armenians, the Jews, the
being the, the Hungarians, the Albanians, and many others. It constitutes
the history of the major religious groups among the subjects, the Muslims, the Jews, and the
Christians. It takes into account relations between the Ottomans and
their neighbours in Europe and Asia, complicated stories of wars, conquests, diplomacy,
and territorial losses that much later were called the Eastern Question. It includes the
, history of the political, administrative, and social institutions incorporated into this
multinational and multicultural empire. It demands discussion of the rise and fall, the
birth, efflorescence, and decline of the empire.
