As the Seljuk Empire began to decline, the Osman Turks transitioned from being a minor principality on the fringes of the empire to a more prominent and powerful entity. They capitalized on the weakening of Seljuk authority, expanding their territory and influence in Anatolia. This shift allowed the Osman Turks to establish the foundations of what would eventually become the Ottoman Empire, characterized by a more centralized and organized governance structure. The decline of the Seljuks also enabled the Osman Turks to attract various tribes and peoples seeking stability and protection, further solidifying their power.
The Seljuk Turks began their rise to prominence in the 11th century, particularly after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, which opened the way for their expansion into Anatolia. Their influence peaked during the 11th and 12th centuries as they established a vast empire that stretched from Central Asia to the Middle East. The Seljuk Empire began to decline in the late 12th century, eventually fragmenting by the 13th century, with the Mongol invasions further hastening their end. The last remnants of their power effectively dissolved by the mid-14th century.

In the eleventh century, the Byzantine Empire faced significant threats from both internal and external sources. Externally, the Seljuk Turks began encroaching on Byzantine territories, culminating in the decisive Battle of Manzikert in 1071, which resulted in the loss of much of Anatolia. Internally, the empire struggled with political instability, civil strife, and a decline in central authority, which weakened its ability to respond effectively to these external pressures. Additionally, the rising power of the Normans in the west further complicated the empire's position, leading to territorial losses in southern Italy.
The rule of Commudus marked the beginning of decline of the Roman Empire. A sudden rise in inflation during his reign damaged the credit market.

The Crusades began soon after the Seljuk Turks threatened the Byzantine Empire, a Christian nation and a key ally of Western Europe. The Seljuk Turks' conquests in Anatolia and their capture of Jerusalem sparked a call for the Crusades to reclaim these territories.

Alexander the Great's empire began to change significantly after his death in 323 BCE. His untimely passing left a power vacuum, leading to the Wars of the Diadochi, where his generals, known as the Diadochi, fought for control over different parts of the empire. This struggle resulted in the fragmentation of his vast empire into several Hellenistic kingdoms, including the Seleucid Empire, the Ptolemaic Kingdom, and others, which marked the decline of unified control and the beginning of a new political landscape.
