The Ottoman Turks, who controlled vast territories for centuries, faced significant decline after World War I. The empire was dismantled as a result of military defeat and subsequent treaties, leading to the loss of much of its land. In 1923, the Republic of Turkey was established under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, marking the end of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of a modern nation-state. Many Ottoman Turks found themselves navigating a new national identity amidst the significant political and social changes that followed.
Modern Turkey was controlled by a combination of Seljuk Turks and Byzantines.
Yes it was. It was a principality, meaning it was ruled by a prince or princess. It lasted into the 1400s, when it was taken over by the Ottoman Turks. After the Ottoman defeat in and dismantling after World War I, the land that was Transyvania was given to Romania.
The Ottoman Empire controlled the land trade-routes between East Asia and Europe. As a result, it was able to dominate trade until the Europeans circumvented Ottoman-controlled lands by finding an all-water route to East Asia in the sixteenth century.
