The Ottomans. Europe's Muslim Emperors-Episode 2
Description
Continuing his exploration of their impact on European history, in this program Rageh Omaar discusses the spread of the Ottoman Empire, its golden age, and factors that led to its decline by the early 20th century. Omaar explains how Suleiman the Magnificent consolidated his million-square-mile realm by combining religious law with political power, setting a precedent that would have consequences for the next four centuries. The lasting repercussions of the Siege of Vienna, the Wahhabist movement's challenge to the sultanate's spiritual authority, and threats from Christian Europe by the time of Abdul Hamid II-the last sultan-are also examined.
