The Ottoman Empire’s control over the Macedonian region was established by the end of the 14th century.1

Following the Ottoman victory at the Battle of the Maritsa River in 1371, the region became increasingly exposed to Turkish conquest. This process of incorporation continued throughout the late 1300s, and by the end of that century, the Macedonian region had been fully integrated into the Ottoman Empire. This period of Ottoman rule remained in place until the Turks were ejected from the region in 1913.21
