Study the map. Which statements best describe the growth of the Ottoman Empire? Choose two correct answers.

The Ottoman Empire began in Anatolia, not in Istanbul, Africa, or the Arabian Peninsula. It expanded into southeastern Europe early in its history, and by the early 1500s it had also expanded into Africa, including Egypt in 1517. Therefore, the best descriptions are that its early expansion included territory in Europe and that it expanded into Africa by the early 1500s.
