Osman Ghazi

Osman I or Osman Ghazi (Ottoman Turkish: عثمان غازى‎, romanized: ʿOsmān Ġāzī; Turkish: I. Osman or Osman Gazi; kicked the bucket 1323/4),[1][3] at times transcribed antiquatedly as Othman, was the head of the Kayi clan and the originator of the Ottoman tradition. The line bearing his name later settled and managed the Ottoman Empire (first known as the Ottoman Beylik or Emirate). This state, while at first a little Turkmen[6] territory during Osman's lifetime, changed into a world domain in the hundreds of years after his death.[7] It existed until not long after the finish of World War I.
