	Ottoman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ottoman Empire was established by a tribe of Oghuz Turks, or the remains of Seljuk Turks, in western Anatolia and was ruled by the Osmanlı dynasty, the descendants of those Turks.
		Ottomans claimed that the source of the inter-ethnic conflicts should be sought within their dynamics and the sources that were supporting the conflicts with hidden goals, more than the policies of the state.
		The Ottomans were eventually defeated at the end of the war by the Allies, due to key attacks by British General Edmund Allenby, assistance from the Arab Revolt, and assistance from Republic of Armenia.
