@tongay_: The Ottoman Empire gradually ended Byzantine rule in Anatolia and Rumelia, becoming a powerful empire. It captured important cities such as Bursa, Nicaea, and Nicomedia in Anatolia, while expanding into the Balkans after taking Edirne. By defeating the Crusader armies at Nicopolis, Varna, and the Second Battle of Kosovo, the Ottomans prevented Europe from stopping their expansion. The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 completely ended the Byzantine Empire and is traditionally considered the beginning of the Early Modern Era. Especially under Mehmed II, the use of cannons and firearms greatly increased the Ottoman military power. Thus, the Ottomans became one of the major powers shaping the Early Modern Era through their military strength and advanced use of firearms. #ottoman #ottomanempire #newage #roma #romanempire #ceaser #mehmetthesecond #islam #muslim #westasian
