The 

sultans of the Ottoman Empire (Turkish: Osmanlı padişahları), who were all members of


the Ottoman dynasty (House of Osman), ruled over the transcontinental empire from its perceived
inception in 1299 to its dissolution in 1922. At its height, the Ottoman Empire spanned an area
from Hungary in the north to Yemen in the south and from Algeria in the west to Iraq in the east.
Administered at first from the city of Söğüt since before 1280 and then from the city of Bursa since
1323 or 1324, the empire's capital was moved to Adrianople (now known as Edirne in English) in
1363 following its conquest by Murad I and then to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 1453
following its conquest by Mehmed II.[1]
The Ottoman Empire's early years have been the subject of varying narratives, due to the difficulty of
discerning fact from legend. The empire came into existence at the end of the 13th century, and its
first ruler (and the namesake of the Empire) was Osman I. According to later, often unreliable
Ottoman tradition, Osman was a descendant of the Kayı tribe of the Oghuz Turks.[2] The eponymous
Ottoman dynasty he founded endured for six centuries through the reigns of 36 sultans. The
Ottoman Empire disappeared as a result of the defeat of the Central Powers, with whom it had allied
itself during World War I. The partitioning of the Empire by the victorious Allies and the
ensuing Turkish War of Independence led to the abolition of the sultanate in 1922 and the birth of
the modern Republic of Turkey in 1922.[3]
