Heart of Anatolia
The heart of the Ottoman Empire was the region of Anatolia, particularly centered around the city of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople). This strategic location bridged Europe and Asia, serving as a vital cultural and economic hub. The empire expanded from this core, influencing vast territories across Europe, Asia, and Africa at its height. Istanbul remained the capital until the empire's dissolution after World War I.
The Ottoman Empire was officially a SUNNI Caliphate. Shiite Islam was vilified and often repressed, being strongly associated with the Ottomans' rival to the east, the Safavid Empire.
During World War I, Germany did in fact control the Dardanelles Strait, if only through its ally, the Ottoman Empire. Control of this narrow strip of water and surrounding areas was crucial for Germany and the Ottoman Empire in their attempt to prevent a link-up between the Allies through the heart of the Ottoman Empire itself.
