Empires 101: The Ottoman Empire

Empires 101: The Ottoman Empire

Years: 1299-1922

Maximum land area year: 1683

Millions of square miles occupied: 20.1

Percentage of the world: 3.86 percent

One of the Longest Reigning Empires in History

The Ottoman Empire began in the small town of Sögüt in Bilecik Province, Turkey, in 1299. The early Ottomans expanded virtually nonstop and conquered the Balkans in the mid-14th century. By 1453, it had destroyed what remained of the Byzantine Empire. 

At its height, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the majority of southeastern Europe to Vienna (pictured: "The Second Siege of Vienna" by Frans Geffels) and Greece, the Middle East and Algeria.

The Empire lasted 623 years until World War I when the Ottoman Empire joined Germany and was subsequently defeated. Its Middle Eastern territories were divvied up between the U.K. and France, and the empire was officially wiped out after the Turkish War of Independence.

WhaleGamer: The Great Crypto Winter Part 1 - Articles 101 to 5,000 views!!!

 The Great Crypto Winter Part 1 Hey guys, this is something most of you guys have been waiting for. The Crypto Winter (This is all my opinion and I got my info from www.marketwatch.com so go check their website out.)  Note: The glossary is at the bottom. Alright, so we are all aware that Bitcoin and Ethereum were doing very well late October. Bitcoin peaked  at $68,000 and Ethereum at $4,800. Originally most people were expecting Ether to end the year at $11,000 and Bitcoin at $120,000.   However, these plans changed when Bitcoin dropped $3,000, went up $2,000 and dropped another $5,000! Ether was going up and down and up and down like “dancing monkeys” (See at the end for financial definition) until it crashed another $600.  Another  thing I should bring up is the interest rate. On coinbase the interest rate is at 5% for bitcoin and 6% for Ethereum. They dropped to 4% and  5% a week later.  Investors are also very nervous about this because the last crypto crash lasted for 2 ½ months

Rare “Medicane” Hits Sicily

 Medicane Rips Through Southern Italy and Sicily by Articles 101 WorldNewz Southern Italy was hit by a rare medicane (Mediterranean Hurricane) on Wednesday, November 3. The medicane brought over 100kmh winds and 5 meter waves.  Streets all over Sicily and Southern Italy flooded, due to powerful and fierce storms that had been raging for days.  Video footage shows the city of Catania, being completely submerged by water. In Catania, it turned all the streets into rushing rivers, and the squares into deep lakes. There have been at least 2 confirmed deaths, and a missing woman because of the engulfing storm. Rescuers are continue to search for the lost woman, who is 54. Many think the powerful storm formed because of the torrid weather of Africa, and the warm Mediterranean waters. Seas have been warmer than usual as well. Thank you for reading Articles 101! Please subscribe, share, read, keep posted, and comment. Thank you!

How To Draw a Cartony Anime Body in My Style! // Isamu

Image
  Hello everyone! It’s Isamu again, and it’s time for my first art tutorial. Just a disclaimer, these tutorials will all be in my style. Don’t tell me that it’s not good, because it’s my style, and don’t feel pressured to always draw in this style. So, all of that aside, let’s get into the tutorial! Step 1: Draw a thick, vertical straight line.  This helps with the symmetry and balance when it comes to the rest of the body. It isn’t completely necessary, but I highly recommend doing it. Step 2: Draw two triangles on the top and the bottom of the line. The one at the top should be smaller, and the one at the bottom should be wider. This shows where the main parts of the body are. The top of the top triangle roughly marks the shoulders, and the top of the bottom roughly marks the waist. You can also draw circles at the edges to mark the joints. Step 3:  draw lines positioned according to how you want to position the arms and legs connected to the circles. I’m just trying to show you the
