Watch The Founder: Ottoman Online [new] Site

| Criterion | Question | |-----------|----------| | | Does it cite Ottoman chronicles (Âşıkpaşazâde, Neşri) or only pop-history? | | Periodization | Does it acknowledge that the “Ottoman state” wasn’t called that until decades after Osman’s death? | | Bias | Does it ignore the frontier warrior ( gaza ) as both religious and economic motive? | | Accessibility | Are maps, timelines, or glossary provided for non-specialists? | | Online format | Is it a documentary (interviews with historians) or a docudrama (reenactments)? The latter is riskier. |
