I need to know the years they were in power, what geographical places they conquered, and what special things they contributed to the ottoman's empire(i.e; the timar, baq(tax), institutions, any thing that has to do with accomplishments in the political, military, culture, or economic areas of the time)

They took most of Europe and the Middle East and parts of Asia!
It was the bigest empire the earth ever saw. As well as the one that lasted longest. Nobody really gives any credit to this. People still talk about the horrible 3 reich (nazis), Roman Empire and other ones because there media is a strong one and they can employ it to put their history forward. Back to the Ottomans, they reigned longer than among the dates you have given since there was a second episode which was well into the 1920's were the final breakdown came. However there was Atatürk who is the creator of modern Turkey. Incidentally if you did not know, Turkey is the remainder of the Ottoman Empire culture and background represented in modern times. Alot of things changed including, language, dress code, secularism was brought by. Turkey is a relatively big country in the Middle East. It is actually still the strongest military power in the middle east region. Even Israel is no match at all. But this brings a new point, Turkey is one of the most peacefull countries in the world which had invaded Cyprus more than 30 years ago and it has led no wars in the world for prolonged periods altough the military power is there since ages.
So basically they did not abuse their power. Incidentally the Cypriot war was in two parts in total a few weeks loses were at 1000-1500 people total, both sides. That is less than Lebanon today or Hurricane Katrina or other disasters. Turkey is also a part of NATO, and have taken part with wars in Korea, Afganistan (peace force), Iraq (peace force), Bosnia (peace force) and many more. Now today or tommorow they are off to Lebanon were more people got killed than in the Cypriot war and they have a piece keeping assignment! Turkey is a bigger and proud nation that was made up of the Ottoman Empire history than the whole arrogant world would grant or mention!
