A TALE OF TWO EMPIRES
Part II: The Ottoman Turkish Empire
An Adult Education Series by Dr. William J. Neidinger
As the sun was setting on the Byzantine Empire, it was
the dawn of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. But before
the death of the Byzantine Empire at the hands of the
Turks, the two empires often allied together against
common enemies, hired their troops out to one another
as mercenaries, signed peace treaties, and even
intermarried their royal families. When the Turks
captured Constantinople in 1453, they not only became
heir to the premier imperial city of the west, they became
the successor state to the Byzantine Empire, ruling over
the same lands and peoples and fighting the same
enemies.
This course will begin with the final chapters of the
history of the Byzantine Empire and trace the rise and
fall of the Ottoman Empire. The last lecture will be on
the creation of Türkiye and the career of Kemal Mustafa
Ataturk.
The lectures are richly illustrated with images, and
course materials include detailed lecture notes and an
extensive syllabus with photos, maps, and ground plans.
LECTURES:
Six lectures.
108 DVD. 6 lectures on DVD $50.00.
118 CD. 6 lectures on audio CD $30.00.
