The Ottoman Empire dominated southeastern Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East for 400 years from the time of their establishment to the peak of their power in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, underneath such magnificence was the foundation made of dark and messed-up practices that would besmirch their legacy and eventually resulted in their fall.

Interesting that the segment on the Ottomans at various points shows without explanation depictions of men impaled on poles which was practiced by Vlad Țepeș, the Voivode of Wallachia, a Christian. Hardly surprising for a fluff piece designed to titillate audiences rather than to offer a balanced presentation of the good as well as the bad sides present in any empire.
