	Ottoman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ottoman Empire was established by the tribe of Kinsik Oghuz Turks in western Anatolia and was ruled by the Osmanlı dynasty, the descendants of those Turks.
		The Ottoman Empire, as a state, originated in the late 13th century as a beylik, or Turkic emirate, within the Seljukid State of Anatolia, which was itself a puppet and vassal of the Il Khanate of the Mongol Empire.
		Turkish independence was the 'coup de grâce' to the Ottoman state in 1922, with the overthrow of Sultan Mehmet VI Vahdettin by the new republican assembly of Republic of Turkey.

		For administrative purposes, Ottoman Iraq was divided into the three central eyalets of Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra, with the northern eyalet of Sharihzor, east of the Tigris, and the southern eyalet of Al-Hasa, on the western coast of the Persian Gulf.
		Absorbed piecemeal by the Ottoman sultans Selim I and Süleyman I in the 16th century, this region on the empire's eastern periphery was the battleground in recurrent struggles between the Sunnite Ottomans and the Shi'ite rulers of Iran and was subject to frequent Arab and Kurdish tribal disturbances.
		The Ottomans at first attempted to rule the Iraqi provinces directly, but in the 17th and 18th centuries a weakened government in Istanbul was obliged to concede extensive autonomy to the governors, and some areas were beyond the reach of Ottoman authority for extended periods.
