Turkey (Country)

I want to be with you forever = Sonsuza kadar seninle olmak istiyorum

Anatolia was not united prior to the Roman Empire and the later Eastern Roman Empire around 2000 years ago. There were many different cities that were capitals of smaller states in Anatolia in earlier ancient times, but there was no "capital of Turkey" because the Anatolian peninsula was not under one authority. All of Turkey was ruled from the city of Byzantium whose name changed to Constantinople and again to Istanbul.

It would not be united again until the Ottoman period, which began in 1299. The Ottoman capital started in Bursa, moved to Edirne (Adrianopole), and then moved to Istanbul (Constantinople/Byzantium).

The former name of Istanbul is: Constantinople

Before is was renamed Constantinople (in honor of the Roman emperor Constantine, this city was called Byzantium and New Rome).

The largest city in Turkey is Istanbul. It is huge in both terms of size and population. There are over 14 million inhabitants within the 5,343 square kilometer city. The city was founded in 660 BC, and used to be known as Byzantium.

Turkey's dominant religion is Sunni Islam of the Hanafi School. There are Muslim minorities such as Alevis and Alawites, but these are minor.

Historically, there used to be some areas of the country with Greek Orthodox Christian, Georgian Orthodox Christians, and Armenian Apostolic Christians, especially near to the major cities like Izmir, Istanbul, and Edirne in the west and Van and Trabzon in the east. Due to the Armenian Genocide (1915-1917) and the Greco-Turkish Population Exchange (1923), these minorities no longer exist in Turkey in any meaningful way. There also used to be a sizable Jewish populaton in Turkey prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. In 1949, almost all of the Jewish community emigrated to Israel.

Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a contiguous transcontinental country, located mostly on Anatolia in Western Asia, and on East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Turkey is 302,535 sq. miles.

The answer you are likely looking for is "the Ottoman Empire", but this is incorrect. Turkey was the dominant constituent entity of the Ottoman Empire and the only remaining part after the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations cut away all other parts of the empire.

Turkey replaced the Ottoman Empire after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led a rebellion using the Ottoman army to overthrow the sultan and install himself as the first President of Turkey. He then rallied the remaining Ottoman army to his banner and ejected Greek, Bulgarian,Armenian, and Kurdish troops within the new Turkish borders. This war, which culminated with a signed treaty (Treaty of Lausanne) to have these enemies recognize the nascent Turkish Republic built on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, was popularly called the War of Turkish Independence. Ataturk removed many of the agencies and departments of the Ottoman Empire and the country underwent a restructuring, but the Ottoman Empire did not "grant" independence to Turkey; it became Turkey.

This Eagle note is completely bogus. No such real banknote was ever put into circulation, and it has nothing to do with the East India Company, the Government of India, or the Reserve Bank of India. It is just a fantasy note, and has no monetary value. The notes that are being sold online are simply colour copies of this design, the origins of which are now unknown. Save your money, and do not buy this 'note'.
