The founder of Ottoman Empire

As soon as Sultan osman came to power, he began to conquer the border areas of the Byzantine Christian Empire. The reason for attacking the Byzantine territories was that they were right next to the territory of Uthman. In the beginning, Uthman's actions were defensive. The Byzantine forts invaded the frontier areas of the Seljuk Empire, and as viceroy of the Seljuk Sultan, Uthman had to fight them. But he never lost the war.

Osman's first major victory (Qaraja Hesar):

Osman laid siege to the fortress of Qaraja and soon conquered this Byzantine fortress. After his conquest, osman warned the Byzantines that their competition was not easy. The Seljuk Sultan was very pleased with this victory and gave Uthman the possession of Qaraja Hesar and all the surrounding area, which Uthman had acquired by sword. And called it "Nezbek". Usman was allowed to issue his own coin in the area. Thus all the accessories of the kingdom became available to 'Uthman. In 1299, Sultan osman declared his independence.

In 1300, the Seljuk Empire was overthrown by the Tatar invasion of Asia Minor, and Uthman became completely independent. Later on, Uthman made all the victories like an independent ruler.

Sultan osman Ghazi's aim was not only to conquer other states but for a long time he was engaged in the administrative affairs of the cities. Established various departments of government. Worked a lot for the welfare of the people. Some Turkish chiefs who considered this silence a weakness of Osman were afraid of osman's growing power. They started attacking the conquered areas of hman. In 1298, he dispelled the misconceptions of all the chiefs. Appeared to beat everyone.

In 1300, he conquered the city of Yeniseher, a district of Barsa, and made it the capital of his fledgling empire.

In 1301, Sultan Osman defeated the Byzantine emperor's large army at the site of the siege of Qarj.

Within 6 years, osman reached the Black Sea, conquering Byzantine forts. Bursa, Nicaea, and all areas around Nicomedia were destroyed. (Parts of all these cities were occupied by the Crusaders when they were later completely conquered by your son Orkhan Ghazi)

Under these circumstances, the Byzantine emperor incited the Tartars to attack 'Uthman. The Tatars invaded the conquered territories of Uthman. This time Usman sent his son Orkhan to fight the Tartars. Orkhan defeated the Tatars. Thus the hopes of all the enemies of Usman Ghazi, including the Byzantines, were dashed.

Siege of Barsa

In 1317, Sultan Usman Ghazi laid siege to Barsa, a very important city. This siege lasted long. Even 6 years later, during the same siege, Sultan Uthman died in 1323. At the time of his death, he appointed his son Orkhan as Anna's successor. Sultan Orkhan continued the siege of Barsa and was conquered in 1326 during the reign of Barsa Orkhan. That is, the siege of Barsa lasted for about ten years. 

Death of Sultan Osman:

There are two traditions regarding the death of Sultan Osman. Sultan Osman died in 1323 or 1324. According to some traditions, he was on his death bed at the time of Barsa's conquest. He died after the conquest of Barsa. Before he died, he gave long advice to his son Orkhan. He preached justice among the people and repeatedly commanded jihad for the sake of Allah. He repeatedly advised to love Allah and His Messenger and to follow the rules. The Prophet (SAW) will abide by the rules of Allah and jihad

Sultan Osman's tomb is in Barsa, Turkey.

When osman was a boy, Sheykh Edebali was a well-known Turkish scholar and influential Sufi. Sheikh Ada Bali was also an old friend of osman's father Ertugrul. Literary people often talk to Ertugrul. Sheikh Adbali also had a hand in Uthman's religious training.

In addition to this, Usman also became the guest of Sheikh many times and also got companionship. Once osman saw Sheikh's daughter and as soon as he saw her, he chose her for himself. And sent a marriage message to the Sheikh, but Sheikh Ada Bali, because he liked the dervish life, refused to marry his daughter to osman. One night osman Sheikh was sleeping at the shrine of Adabali and he had a dream.

A crescent moon came out of the chest of Sheikh Ada Bali and gradually it became the moon of Badr and became attached to the chest of Uthman. Then a tree appeared from Uthman's side, which grew and spread until its branches spread over half the land. From the roots of this tree flowed four major rivers of the world. And the branches of this tree supported the four great mountains. The leaves of the tree resembled swords. Suddenly a strong wind blew and the leaves of the tree turned towards a continent. That continent looked like a ring. Usman just wanted to wear the ring and his eye was opened. "Usman narrated this dream to Adbali. After hearing the dream, Sheikh immediately married his daughter to Usman. And Orhan Gazi (Orhan Gazi, Bey) was born from Rabia Khatun. This dream is known as Osman's Dream.

 Which was a divine sign of the Ottoman Empire from God.

All were equal in justice. You never even accumulated your personal wealth. They also distributed their share of the spoils. No gold, money, etc. was found in your house after your death. Just get a kaftan, a salt shaker, a cotton turban, a wooden spoon and a few Arabian horses. However, one of his swords, which was given by Sheikh Ada Bali, still exists today. This sword of Sultan Uthman was given to every sultan who came after him and in this ceremony it was prayed that Allah create in you the same virtues as Osman.

Attributes and virtues of Sultan Usman Ghazi:

Sultan Uthman possessed all the qualities necessary for a founder. Your courage and bravery was extraordinary. He himself fought in the war with such fervor that he breathed new life into the soldiers. Your justice is very famous.

Murder of his uncle:

Sultan Osman shot and killed his uncle Dundar Bey himself. This was the first assassination of his own family in the Ottoman Empire. Dandar was killed because he was allying with the Byzantine emperors. In addition, he was demoralizing the army. At the meeting of Sultan Uthman, he advised the enemy not to fight by calling him powerful. We would find this murder very flawed in terms of today but in terms of that era it was a minor incident.
