The Ottoman Empire , kent offeecially as Sublime Ottoman State ( Ottoman Turkis : ???????? ???????? ??????????? Devlet-i ?Aliyye-yi ?O s maniyye , Modren Turkis : Yuce Osmanlı Devleti or Osmanlı ?mparatorlu?u ) wis an empire that lastit frae 1299 tae 1923.

At the hicht o its pouer, in the saxteent an seiventeent centuries, the empire spanned three continents , controlling the feck o Sootheastren Europe , Wastren Asie an North Africae The Ottoman Empire conteened 29 provinces an numerous vassal states , some o which wur later absorbed intae the empire, while ithers wur grantit various teeps o autonomy in the course o centuries. The empire temporarily gained authority ower distant owerseas lands forby, throu declarations o allegiance tae the Ottoman Sultan an Caliph , lik the declaration bi the Sultan o Aceh in 1565; or throu the temporar acquisitions o islands in the Atlantic Ocean, lik Lanzarote in 1585.

The empire wis at the centre o interactions atween the Eastern an Wastren warlds for sax centuries. Wi Constantinople as its caipital ceety, an vast control o lands aroond the eastren Mediterranean throu the reign o Suleiman the Magneeficent (ruled 1520 tae 1566), the Ottoman Empire wis, in mony respeckkts, an Islamic successor tae the Eastren Roman (Byzantine) Empire .

The Ottoman Empire came tae an end, as a regime unner an imperial monarchy , on November 1, Mehmed VI deportit frae Constantinople on November 17. It formally endit, as a de jure state , on Julie 24, 1923, unner the Treaty o Lausanne . Wi the Treaty of Lausanne (signed on Julie 24, 1923) the new Turkis State (still nae a Republic, whilk wis proclaimed later on October 29, 1923) heidquartered in Ankara wis internaitionally recognised as the successor tae the Sublime Ottoman State. It wis succeedit bi the Republic o Turkey whilk wis offeecially proclaimed on October 29, 1923.

The empire wis forby kent in Inglis as the Osmanic Empire , the Osmanian Empire or the Ottoman State . Mony contemporaries referred tae it as the Turkis Empire or simply Turkey (see the ither names o the Ottoman State ).
