Ertuğrul Ghazi: The Unsung Hero Who Shaped History

Ertuğrul Ghazi is an unsung hero about whom we knew very little before the drama was made because very few books have been written about him because we find less about him in books.  Many books should have been written about him because he founded the Ottoman Empire.  There are difficulties, they cut it, we will read in this article. We will also talk about drama on ertuğrul ghazi.

Who was Ertugrul?

• Ertugrul Ghazi: Builder of an Empire

  Ertugrul Ghazi was a lion-hearted man who led the 13th-century Turkish tribes, known as the Ottoman Empire.  Born into the Kayı tribe, a branch of the Oghuz Turks, he dreamed of building a new state after seeing the fall of the Seljuk Empire and the tyranny of the Mongols. And he devoted his whole life to fulfilling that dream.  All the hard work was done by him and his son Uthman therefore continued the work and established a strong state.   

•   Hailing from West Central Asia, Ertuğrul and his tribe decided to relocate to a place where they could go or have a future, and that's where Ertuğrul Gazi chose a very good place.  Which was in Anatolia, a region under Byzantine rule.  His leadership and strategic acumen quickly became evident as he united the scattered Turkic tribes and established a strong foothold in the region.

•   Ertugrul's life was spent against powerful opponents, including the Byzantine Empire and the Mongol invaders. As the Seljuk Empire was weak, the rise of all byzantine and the Mongols was becoming a problem for the Turkic tribes. That's why Ertugrul  decided to unite all the clans to form a small state in which they would defend themselves. Os Khan had 11 clans that had diverged. Some were under the shadow of the Seljuk Empire, but when the Seljuk Empire weakened, all of them  The tribes were in trouble.  So this brave Ghazi started efforts to unite all these tribes. In his lifetime, all the tribes could not be united, but his son Usman did what his father's dream was.

•   Although what we know about Ertugrul Ghazi is based on oral traditions and historical chronicles written centuries later, his legacy as a visionary leader and symbol of Turkish and Islamic unity endures.   The Ottoman Empire, which grew under his son Osman I into one of the world's largest empires, was called the Ottoman Empire.
