No, it was never a colony. After they lost World War 1, the Allies wanted to colonize Turkey, but the Turks were able to win the war. That war was called the Turkish war of Independence.

NO. Turkey has consistently been an independent country, first as the Ottoman Empire and then later as the Republic of Turkey. After World War I, Britain envisioned and intended to create a small sphere of influence in southeastern Turkey, but was effectively repulsed by the Ataturk's Turkish Army in the Turkish War of Independence.However, Cyprus, which used to be an Ottoman territory and had a large Turkish minority, became a British Protectorate in 1878 and a British Colony in 1914. Cyprus became independent in 1960.
