name
  1. 1.

    奥斯曼帝国

    历史

    It does not seem very convincing to view a major world empire, with the most modern arms at its disposal, as merely the helpless victim of circumstances beyond its control. Even less attractive are "stage theories," which assume that at a given point in time the Ottoman Empire, its economy included, passed from the stage of "florescence" into that of "decay."

词源

Ottoman (adjective) [from Ottoman (“Osman”), from Middle French Ottoman (“Osman”), from Italian Ottomano (“Osman”), from Ottoman Turkish عثمان (osman), from Arabic عُثْمَان (ʕuṯmān, male given name)] + Empire. Over the centuries the Ottoman Empire existed, it was commonly referred to as Turkey.
