Muammar Gaddafi was born in 1942 in a desert tent in Sirte, Libya, to a poor Bedouin family. His early life was shaped by the sands of the Sahara, Islamic traditions, and a deep resentment toward foreign occupation. As a young boy, he listened to stories of Libya’s resistance against Italian colonizers and the brutal execution of national hero Omar Mukhtar. These tales planted a seed of rebellion in his heart a seed that would grow into one of the most talked-about political careers of the 20th century.

The Siege of Bursa
Orhan Ghazi (c. 1281–1362) was the second ruler of the Ottoman Beylik and the son of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman dynasty. Taking power after his father’s death, Orhan transformed the Ottomans from a small tribal principality into an emerging regional power. His most notable achievement was the capture of Bursa in 1326, which he made the first true capital of the Ottoman state. Known for his leadership, administrative reforms, and tolerance toward conquered peoples, Orhan laid the groundwork for the future empire. He was both a warrior and a statesman—respected for his justice, strategic mind, and vision.
