This episode covers the reign of Andronicus III as he battles the Ottoman Beylik, but Osman's son employed a different strategy. He no longer wanted to be a nomadic steppe horde; he envisioned creating his own empire from the old Byzantine cities. This is the birth of the Ottoman Empire.

The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.
