Rise of the Ottoman Empire
TED-Ed
In the late 13th century, Osman I established a small principality sandwiched between a crumbling Byzantine Empire and a weakened Sultanate of the Seljuk of Rum, in what is now Turkey.

Mostafa Minawi details the early days of the Ottomans.

Jonathan Smith explores the strategy of quantitative easing.
