Im pretty sure that it is because of Apple pie
The military establishment is one of the attributes that made the Ottomans expand their empire with much success.
Even though they were Turks, the Ottoman Empire never called themselves Turks. They opened the doors to whomever wanted to serve the empire. They gathered the smartest population for 600 years and ruled large portions of the world. Ottomans were not cruel towards the countries that they conquered. They did not make foreign people slaves or force them to be Muslims, although non-Muslims within the Empire paid additional taxes and were excluded from some activities. The Ottoman Empire was the best organized Turkish empire ever. Before the Ottomans, there were many Turkish states or empires; however, they were not as successful as the Ottomans.
The Ottoman Empire did not directly end the Roman Empire, as the Western Roman Empire had already fallen in 476 AD, long before the rise of the Ottomans. The Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued until the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453. This conquest marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and solidified the Ottoman Empire's dominance in the region. Thus, while the Ottomans played a significant role in the fall of the Byzantine Empire, they did not end the Roman Empire in its entirety.

The Ottoman Empire succeed in expanding because they let people keep their own beliefs. Its strong military was able to defeat other nations. :)
No, the Ottomans were not defeated by Germany in World War I; rather, they were allies. The Ottoman Empire fought alongside the Central Powers, which included Germany and Austria-Hungary. The empire ultimately fell due to a combination of military defeats and internal strife, leading to its dissolution after the war, but Germany did not specifically defeat the Ottomans. The defeat of the Central Powers as a whole in 1918 led to the end of the Ottoman Empire.
