623 years 3 continentsThe Ottoman Empire governed 3 cotinents for 623 years. We kept together our people from Asia,Europe and Africa

We didnt interfere with people’s lifestyles for years by showing tolerance in our conquered areas

For example,in the Balkans we saved the churches.

Fatih Sultan Mehmet (the Conqurer) conquered İstanbul,which connects Asia and Europe,and then the Ottoman Empire came into existance.

With the conquest of İstanbul The Middle Age ended and the New Age started.

Yavuz Sultan Selim proceeded to the North Africa, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman proceeded to Vienna so the Ottoman Empire began to rule in three continents.
