During most of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire stretched from Egypt to the borders of Persia, from what today is Bosnia and Macedonia almost to the Port of Aden on the southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. The Ottoman Empire was the remnants of the original domain of Saladin and the caliphates of Constantinople at the height of the Muslim expansion. It has included such territories as Epirus and Crete, Cyprus, Egypt and Sudan, a significant part of North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, during some portion of its existence. Today, it's best represented by Turkey, the central portion of the Ottoman Empire, and the home of the Empire's capital, Constantinople, now Istanbul. It covers the "hinge" between Europe, Asia, and Africa, and has included bits and pieces of all three continents at one time or another.
