The article is about the Eastern Roman Empire, not the Ottomans. This is dated to the 6th century - centuries before the Ottomans.

The Ottoman Empire was destroyed by a combination of events - the loss at the 2nd Seige of Vienna in 1683, the rise of nationalism in the 1800s, the increasing power of the Sultanas etc.
