History of Turkey
At the crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a
fascinating country. Dominated by Greeks, Persians, and
Romans in turn throughout the classical era, what is now
Turkey was once the seat of the Byzantine Empire.

In the 11th century, however, Turkish nomads from

Central Asia moved into the region, gradually conquering
all of Asia Minor. First, the Seljuk and then the Ottoman
Turkish Empires came to power, exerting influence over
much of the eastern Mediterranean world, and bringing
Islam to southeast Europe.

After the Ottoman Empire fell in 1918, Turkey transformed

itself into the vibrant, modernizing, secular state it is
today.
