The '''Ottoman Empire''' was a Muslim [[theocracy]] which ruled much of the Middle East from 1299 A.D. until 1922 A.D..
The Ottomans are perhaps most notable for their overthrow of the [[Byzantine Empire]] in 1453, by capturing the Christian city of [[Constantinople]]. After capturing the city, the Ottomans changed the [[Hagia Sofia]] from a Church into a Mosque. This is commonly considered the end of the [[Roman Empire]], as the Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire.
