The military establishment is one of the attributes that made the Ottomans expand their empire with much success.
There are two main reasons. Firstly, the Ottomans were intelligent and strategic in the disposition of the armies and were very capable of defeating their enemies and expanding their power. Secondly, the Ottomans were quick to establish a large bureaucracy and regional autonomy which made management of a physically expansive empire much easier.
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. :)
The Ottomans were Sunni Muslims, the Safavids Shia Muslims.Ottoman Sultans saw it as part of their religious duty to wage war on what they saw as the heretical Shias. Further, the Ottoman empire was based on constant expansion (when it stopped expanding,the empire went into a long decline). Safavid Persia was directly to the east of the Ottoman empire.
