The last powerful Islamic empire was The Ottoman Empire. That's capital was Constantinople (present Istanbul ). Osman bey formed the ottoman state in 1299. After the fall of Constantinople by Mehmed II, the state turned to empire. They used to rule the whole Middle East and some part of eastern Europe. Ottoman empire's main area is present days' turkey.None could challenge the ottomans before the beginning of nineteenth century. Things were still good until the first world war. In WW1, Ottomans joined for the Germans. During the war, there condition became bad . The empire was partitioned by the treaty of Sevres and that turned to sultanate or kingdom . That was also abolished by Kemal Pasha on Nov 1,1922.Before the declaration of Republic of Turkey by him, Turkey's sultan was considered as Caliph of All Muslims of the world.. However, some historians claim that Iran and Saudi Arabia are current Islamic Empires. Additionally, the Republic of Turkey has Neo-Ottoman ambitions under the Prime Ministry of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
