The first Turkish capital in Asia Minor near Nicaea marked a dramatic shift in demographics of the region. Why?

The establishment of the first Turkish capital in Asia Minor near Nicaea marked a significant demographic shift due to the influx of Turkic peoples following the Seljuk conquests in the 11th century. This migration led to the gradual Turkification of the region, as Turkish tribes settled, intermarried, and established agricultural communities. Additionally, the decline of Byzantine influence and the subsequent displacement of local populations facilitated the spread of Turkish culture and language, fundamentally transforming the demographic landscape of Asia Minor.
