Turkey, under the name of the Ottoman Empire, has controlled large parts of the Middle East and Southeast Europe for the past few centuries. Until the end of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Pasha Atatürk.

 

 

History of Turkey


Turkey is historically divided into three ancient periods, the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rome) and the Ottoman Empire.

The ancient period of the Anatolian Peninsula, which covers most of present-day Turkey, has always been one of the oldest inhabited areas in the world, dating back to the Neolithic period.

 


The Byzantine Empire the Roman Empire was in trouble due to its large size, and for this reason Constantine made the city of Byzantium, or present-day Istanbul, his capital, dividing Rome into eastern and western parts.

The Ottoman Empire In 1453, Sultan Muhammad the Conqueror was able to end the Byzantine Empire, whose brilliant conquest was the conquest of Constantinople, or Constantine, the Byzantine capital, which has since been renamed Istanbul. This conquest is known as the origin of new centuries in European history.

 

 

Republic of Turkey


The Ottoman Empire disintegrated in World War I and was invaded by Britain and its allies. Mustafa Kemal Pasha was recognized as the national hero of Turkey for organizing national resistance against foreign governments and was able to establish the Republic of Turkey in 1923 on the basis of the principle of separation of religion from politics and was awarded the title of Ataturk.

He declared the Latin script to be the official script of Turkey and took many measures for the industrial development and westernization of the country and created a new era in Turkey.

 

 

Flag of Turkey


The original design of the Turkish flag today consists of a white moon and star with a red background and dates back to the symbols used by the Seljuk and Ottoman Turkmen empires as flags. The Republic of Turkey retained this flag as a symbol of its government.

In the time of the Ottoman sultans, they held the title of caliph of the Muslims, and this flag was known to Europeans as a symbol of Islam. Even now, many Islamic countries have used the moon and stars in different ways in their flags.

Countries that have used the moon and star symbols on their national flags include Uzbekistan, Algeria, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tunisia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritania and Turkey.
