Establishment of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottomans belong to a Turkmen tribe that settled in Kurdistan in the 7th century AH to the 13th century AD. When Genghis Khan led the Mongols to invade Iraq and eastern Asia Minor, Usman's grandfather Suleiman emigrated with his tribe. From Kurdistan to the Anadolu region, they settled in the cities of Absa and Ikhlat.
This is about 617 AH 1220 AD. Suleiman died in 668 AH according to 1230 AD and he appointed his middle son Ertugrul as his successor. Ertugrul continued to move from Anadol to the northwest. With him, about a hundred families and four There were more than a hundred princes. (Qiyam al-Dawlat al-Othmaniyah: p. 26)
When 'Usman's father, Ertugrul, migrated with his tribe to escape the threat of the Mongols, there were no more than four hundred families. At one point on the way, there was a sudden uproar. The battlefield between Muslims and Christians is hot and Byzantine Christians are pushing back Muslims. Ertugrul had no choice but to go forward with full courage and bravery. With difficulty, Ertugrul attacked with such force that the Christians lost their footing and his advance led to the victory of the Muslim League-Shukr. When the battle was over, the commander of the Seljuk Islamic army, Appreciating the initiative, he was given a manor on the western frontier of Anna Dhol in the vicinity of the Roman frontiers.
They were thus given the opportunity to expand the Seljuk Empire as they continued to advance towards the Roman territories. The Seljuks found a powerful ally in the form of Ertugrul and his tribe, who gave their full support to the jihad against the Romans. Who were their common enemies and opposed to both in faith and religion.
This relationship of love lasted as long as Ertugrul lived, even when he died in 699 AH 1299 AD
So he appointed his son Osman as his deputy and Osman adhered to the previous policy of expanding the Seljuk Empire by advancing towards the land of Rome.
