ottoman empire 

A coastal empire governed by Turkey. Unlike the european empires, it mainly captured weak regions, and was no-where near as rich as those empires.


I comprised of parts of South-east Europe, the beggining of South-west asia, most of the middle east and coastal North Africa. Begun in the 14th century, it was mainly the poorer, southernmost states of what was then the most powerful empire to exist; the Roman Empire.

It captured the Baltic capital of rome, constantinople (named after the first christian emporer, Constantine) in 1453. It was renamed Istanbul later that year.

After the 1492 expulsion of the moors from Spain and the 1681 defeat at the battle of Vienna, the empire began to crumble, and some of its' states were separated after the Crimean war. The petty squables of these states would later cause World War I.
The Ottoman empire was destroyed by World war I, the Crimean war, and the corruption of its' rulers.

National Anthem 

A tune, most often accompanied by patriotic lyrics that is declared to be the song representative of that country.
"Oh Lord our God arise,

Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall

Confound their politics

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix

Oh save us all."


--Extract from "God save the Queen"

Mass production= passable quality, affordable by everyone.

High standards of Quality Control= good quality, double priced, but only 10% can afford

Therefore out of 100 sales, 90x1 will go to mass production, while 10x2 will go to the financially privelged.
