What is the difference between Seljuk Turks and Osman Turks?
92809
Pressured out of their homes in the Asian steppes by the Mongols, the Turkish nomadic tribes converted to Islam during the eighth and ninth centuries. By the tenth century, one of the Turkish tribes, the Seljuk, had become a significant power in the Islamic world and had adopted a settled life that included Islamic orthodoxy, a central administration, and taxation. However, many other Turkish groups remained nomadic and, pursuing the gazi tradition, sought to conquer land for Islam and to acquire war booty for themselves. This led them into conflict with the Seljuk Turks, and to pacify the nomadic tribes, the Seljuks directed them to the eastern domain of the Byzantine Empire, Anatolia. The tribe known as the Ottomans arose from one of the smaller emirates established in northwestern Anatolia after 1071. The dynasty was named for Osman (1259-1326), who began to expand his kingdom into the Byzantine Empire in Asia Minor, moving his capital to Bursa in 1326.

Kurds are a tribe of people from one race.  Some Kurds are Christians and some are Muslim.     Muslim is the religion.

The Ottoman Empire fought on the side of Germany and Austria in World War I (cf. the film Lawrence of Arabia).\n\nAfter they lost the war, the Ottomans were stripped of most of their country/empire, except Turkey, and most of their former territory was divided between the victorious allies after the war.\n\nThere was a delay between the end of the war (1918) and the decision to carve up the area (1920). In that period, Syria was an independent Arab country under King Faisal in Damascus (cf. Lawrence of Arabia again).\n\nFrom 1920 (not 1925), France got to administer Syria and Lebanon and Britain got to administer Palestine and Jordan.\nIt was a military occupation and administration, rather than "Martial Law", which is different. It is more similar to what Syrian troops did in Lebanon after the civil war there.\n\nOn the plus side, the French invested heavily in updating Syria's infrastructure (which the Ottomans had ignored).

It's sort of debatable... it's like asking if Egypt is part of Africa or part of the Middle East. The answer, truthfully, would be "both."\n\nHowever, I would say that Turkey is more a part of Europe than it is part of the Middle East. Their customs, ambitions, and laws have always resembled Europe more (especially in the regions east and north of Ankara).

Turkey has a large Kurdish population as well in the neighboring territory. Their largest fear is that Iraq fractures and the Kurds declare themselves an independent state and then try to lay claim to the currently Turkish lands dominated by the Kurds.

For me that was The Ottoman Empire (Ottoman Turkish: دولتِ عَليه عُثمانيه Devlet-i Âliye-i Osmâniyye; literally, "The Sublime Ottoman State", modern Turkish: Osmanlı İmparatorluğu), also sometimes known as the Turkish Empire, existed from 1299 to 1923. \n\n The Ottomans are one of the greatest and most powerful civilizations of the modern period. Their moment of glory in the sixteenth century represents one of the heights of human creativity, optimism, and artistry. The empire they built was the largest and most influential of the Muslim empires of the modern period, and their culture and military expansion crossed over into Europe. Not since the expansion of Islam into Spain in the eighth century had Islam seemed poised to establish a European presence as it did in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Like that earlier expansion, the Ottomans established an empire over European territory and established Islamic traditions and culture that last to the current day (the Muslims in Bosnia are the last descendants of the Ottoman presence in Europe).\n\n   The Ottoman empire lasted until the twentieth century. While historians like to talk about empires in terms of growth and decline, the Ottomans were a force to be reckoned with, militarily and culturally, right up until the break-up of the empire in the first decades of this century. The real end to the Ottoman culture came with the secularization of Turkey after World War II along European models of government. The transition to a secular state was not an easy one and its repercussions are still being felt in Turkish society today; nevertheless, secularization represents the real break with the Ottoman tradition and heritage.\n\n   The greatest figure of Ottoman history, again for me was the Sultan Suleyman, who built from the conquests of his father a great city, military machine, empire, and culture. No culture seems to invite such a total association of the entire history and greatness of the culture in a single individual as Ottoman culture does. This is not just a European prejudice; Muslims themselves can hardly resist the temptation of summing up the whole of Ottoman culture and history in this brilliant and dignified human being. For very few figures in history encompassed so much of their culture, and very few near-mythical figures have left so much of their humanity to posterity. For Islam produces an odd relationship between individuals and history. The inherent dignity and perfectibility of humanity in Islam tends to produce mythical figures like Suleyman who seem to master every human art; but the spiritual egalitarianism of the religion also leads to a surprising humanisation of these mythical figures. Sit back and prepare yourself for a tour of one of the great flowerings of human genius, dignity, and cultural creativity.

Ottoman Empire former Turkish empire that controlled much of SE Europe, the Middle East and North Africa between the 14th and 20th centuries. It was founded by Osman I (1290-1326). He ruled a small principality in Anatolia, which he greatly enlarge at the expense of the Byzantine Empire. The contest with the Byzantine ended with the capture of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which become the Ottoman capital in 1453. Under Suleiman I (the Magnificent) (1520-1566), the Ottoman Empire include the Arab lands of the Middle East and North Africa, SE Europe, and the East Mediterranean. The decline of Ottoman power began before 1600, and thereafter, Ottoman territory was reduce in wars with its European neighbors, Austria and Russia. After World war 1, when the Ottoman territory was reduced to roughly the present Turkish borders, nationalist led by Ataturk deposed the last sultan and created the modern Turkish Republic (1923). Major defeats were in Vienna, Lepanto and Malta.  In Malta the Turks were defeated even if they had more solders and were more armed than the Knight of Saint John and the Maltese.

The difference is only a very slight genetic difference. There is no difference in their physical appearance.\n\nAccording to my sources:\n\n"The scientists found no genetic differences between the samples from peninsular Malaysia and eastern Sumatra, slight differences between the eastern and western Sumatran populations, and larger differences between the Bornean rhino and the other populations. The findings indicate the Bornean rhino has been separated from the other subpopulations for a longer period of time, Professor Melnick said, allowing the development of genetic distinctions, which are probably both adaptations to local conditions and neutral mutations."
