Ottoman Empire

The Eyalet of Egypt, a province within the Ottoman Empire, conquered the Somaliland coast (the area around and including Berbera) in 1548. This was the southernmost point in the Ottoman Empire.

Janissary or janizary.

The city of Istanbul became a major center of the Muslim world.

No, the Ottoman Empire was not the largest and most influential Christian empire. It was a large and influential Islamic empire.

Britain did not promise the Arabs anything in 1914.

From July 1915 to January 1916, the British wrote the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence which was a set of letters between the British High Commissioner in Egypt (Sir Henry McMahon) and the Sharif of Mecca (Hussein ibn Ali). In these letters, the British promised the Arabs a unitary Arab State in the Middle East that would cover most of the Middle East. However, some areas were excepted, mostly along the Syrian coast.

It is unclear whether or not Mandatory Palestine was also excepted because the terms are ambiguous. Arabs argue that since Palestine is not mentioned explicitly as an exception (whereas specific Syrian cities are mentioned), Palestine was included. The British and the Jews aregue that the reservation was for areas west of Damascus and all of Palestine is west of Damascus.

Sunni Islam was the dominant religion in the Ottoman Empire and Sunni Shari'a (Religious Law) was the official law of the country, save where the Sultan published specific edicts. In order to be a member of the government in most capacities, being a Sunni Muslim was requisite. Shiite Muslims and Alevis were generally treated with suspicion and seen as being fifth columns for Safavid and Qajjar Iran, which were Shiite theocracies.

Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.

Admittedly, life under the Ottomans was far superior to most contemporaneous Empires. Spain was by far a more religiously and culturally intolerant place during this period as were France and England. This would begin to change in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as Jews and other minorities became increasingly emancipated in Europe, but not as extensively in the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottomans' most egregious crime (other than the genocides of the early 20th century) was the policy of devshirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam. No Muslim was even allowed to join the Janissaries, because the devshirme system was so effective in producing recruits loyal only to the Emperor because they feared him.

There was no justification for the expansion of the Ottoman Empire because in the 13th to 17th centuries, a nation did not have to justify to outsiders why it was expanding. If a nation, such as the Ottoman Empire, was powerful, it would expand into new regions and improve its internal economy and infrastructure. There is similarly no justification for the expansion of the Hungarian Empire, Polish Empire, or Russian Empire.

The problem they faced were nationalist revolts break out and Young Turks demanding a reform.

very peaceful

Former Austro-Hungarian territories were given independence, while former Ottoman territories were divided among European powers.

If you mean the Ottomans of Turkey, Yes. They were the Muslims, They favoured Islam. They ruled the Islamic world for a fairly long period of History. The Ottoman Caliphate ended in 1921 as a result of First World War.

It is important to note that the Ottoman Empire only favored Sunni Muslims and treated Shiites in the same way that it treated non-Muslims.

Many of the boundaries of the Upper Middle East (like Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel/Palestine, and Egypt) come after the break-up of the Ottoman Empire and are a direct result of it.

The ancient Turks believed in the Sky God. And Moon and Sun symbolized his eyes. They were sacred to them. Stars were very special for them too. They gave exotic names to the stars. Their religion (not really a religion, more like "the way it is") was called Tur (later renamed by the other people) The star could be there because of Sirius star which had a very special meaning among ancient Turks. They did not have the concept of death among thir culture and used the term "ucmaga ermek" for those that died. English translation would be close to "to ascend, transcend and fly" But it cannot be translated properly. Ucmak could mean the next phase of evolution in proto Turkish. They propbably believed they went to Sirius star.

"Ottoman" means "ATAMIN" in Turkish and mean "that belongs to my ancestors, elders."

Later after Arabs assimilated (actually tricked) Turkish culture and started giving them Arab names, the name became Osmanli. The Turks migrating to Anatolia from the far Middle Asia was because they were coming back to settle in their ancestors lands. And the star could mean Anatolia which means "Turkish homeland" as well. Anadolu means "land full of our mothers" in Turkish. Asia is Asya in Turkish and means something close to "The first land" So the star could mean all the Asia as well.

Speaking of the star, "Earth" means "Yurt" in Proto Turkish (their pronounciation is nearly same.) And today "YURT" means "my homeland" in modern Turkish. So it could mean the whole Earth as well.

Neither.

It was built by the Mughals, the other empire of that time period.
