Anatolia has to be a historian's paradise. I mean, the Hittites, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Armenians, Byzantines, and Ottomans all had wealthy, developed civilizations on this peninsula, and now, anyone can observe what those many states left behind, whether it be in archaeological ruins, ancient artifacts, or cultural influences visible in countries like Turkey, the current state on the peninsula.

One of the reason Anatolia had so many states in its history isn't purely because of its geography, but also because it was one of the earliest cradles of civilization, with cities and agriculture spreading in the region very early on, leading to much development and a large population following the Bronze Age.

Haitam chouiekh Im Turkish and you are right. We started to call us Turks when the nationalism effected us. The real is that; Ottoman was an İslam Empire, not Turkish Empire. Ottoman described the people as muslims, christians and jewish.. not as nations. The nations were only names. And there was no nation name which was calling ‘Turks’ in Ottoman. The Turks called as only; ‘the people who came from Central Asia(Yörük)’. So, Ottoman didnt think that Yörüks are the ruler of the empire. We started to call us ‘Turks’ when we builded the Turkey with nationalism effect, because Europans were calling us with that way. And in Ottoman, the offical language was Ottoman languge which is had Turkish, Persian and Arabic words. And thats why i cant understand the Ottoman language as a Turkish now.. My Arab friends can understand the Ottoman language more than me. Today, Armenian people and Turkish people are enemy to each other. But Ottoman described the Armenians as ‘ the loyal people’ in offical documanteries. So, Armenians were Ottoman too. Kurds were Ottoman too, Arabs were Ottoman too .. 72 nations were Ottoman too. And some of Armenians and some of other nations fighted for build Turkey because they thought that they were fighting for Ottoman. And this shows us; Ottoman was not Turks. Ottoman was 3 religions, 72 nations which is dominated by İslam.
@@nagihancalskan7454 the subject is not ''how the ottomans described theirselves?'', its ''what's ottoman's main ethnic identity?'' so the answer is turks.
Fun Fact: The Ottoman Empire initially had only 2 villages and a 30-50 strong army, however since local Byzantine governors didn't ask for help until it was to late they just snowballed and took more and more land
Not that simple. Actually first ottomans people and byzantium people were good relations with each other. Even some byzantine lords called for help from ottomans against theirs political opponents and gave ottomans castles as price. As the ottomans became stronger and considered to be 'dangereous' by byzantiums they started to fight and ottomans won.

SELJUK of Rūm. Though its population included Christians, Armenians, Greeks, Syrians, and Iranian Muslims, a Kingdom, where a tolerance of races and religions contributed to order and stability.
@@konstantintellis7555 The place called Greece never existed before as we know it today. The people who live in so called Greece today used to be called "Romej" during Byzantine Empire and "Raja" during Ottoman Empire times (except the Arvanitas who used to be called always by their name like "Albani", "Arbanoi", etc.) and the name "Greece" never existed during Byzantine times. The people who live in the so called Greece today are NOT the descendants of ancient Greece (as the world history knows it). That ancient culture and civilization, unfortunately went extinct times ago, like many other ancient civilizations (like Latin civilization as well, language of which is spoken only in the certain official religious ceremonies in Vatican today and for international medical terminology). During Ottoman times in the Balkans, after the big powers pushed for an uprising in the place that today is called "Greece", an independent country was formed in 1821-1832. The majority of the population there was of Arvanitas (and Chameria) stock, they also were the backbone of the uprising for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the minority population was of Slav, Turks and Aromanian stock. After the gain of independence the place was so divided, and with a prolonged civil war that a real country could not be formed. Fearing the disintegration of the place after Ottomans left (and possibility of a return of the Ottomans), Prince Otto of Germany was brought in by European powers to clear the mess and do nation - building there. He was proclaimed King of the place by big powers and given plenipotentiary powers. The Price Otto royal family in Germany happen to be an admirer of the ancient civilizations, one of them being the extinct ancient Greek civilization, traces and archeological findings of which are also seen in that region called today "Greece" as well. Being an ancient history romantic and buff, Otto came up with the idea, that the only way to keep the place together and for a chance to build a country there, was to adopt/impose some kind of neutral/foreign ancient language and culture for all people living in that place, that will make possible for the people to stick together under one language and culture imposed on them. So with a special royal decree, he proclaimed a version of the ancient Greek (the easier one to be taught and learned by people there in those times) as an official language of the place, and also came up with the new name for the place, calling it with a special royal decree "Greece". Everything else was banned, and the new "country" formed, was ordered to be rebuild anew in resemblance of the old romantic view of the ancient Greek civilization, starting with the buildings, names of people, places, cities and villages, regions, mountains, fields and all were changed to made-up names loaned by the ancient literature of ancient Greek civilization. This of course was associated with money brought by European powers to rebuild. The more people in that place agreed with the change of their true national and ethnic identity and declare themselves artificially "Greeks/Helenes" and adopt to the new order, the more money was to be pouring in. Naturally, the strongest resistance to this artificial and made-up solution, was made by the Arvanitas (and Chameria), but at no avail. It is legendary, the loss by one vote in the Price Otto's Parliament of that time, of Arvanitas proposal to have the Albanian (Arvanite) language as an official language of the place called 'Greece" today, and to call the new country "Arvanoi" (instead of "Greece"). There is plenty of scientific and factual evidence, archival and historical documents, as well as studies and publications by major authors and authorities in the field about as above. One interesting fact here, is that one of the earlier German/Austrian well known historians and scientists of that time, Fallmerayer, alerted Prince Otto and others to this nonsense, of declaring a whole people and place by a name not belonging to them, and injecting an extinct language, culture and civilization on people who had no idea about it and did not belong to it at all. Well, Fallmerayer may have proven to be right. By the way, Fallmerayer, is a banned figure and historian in what is called Greece today. Germany is still paying for the Otto's mistake, even today. It has gotten stuck with the country so called "Greece". It is now forced to pour free money, even today, out of Germany's pocket (through European Union as well) year after year to keep it alive and going, as this "Greece" cannot stand on its own. It is an artificial creation of Prince Otto's fantasy (a "zombie" country so to speak), and the new generations of the Germans and Europeans are continuing to pay the price for it. Moreover, what Prince Otto did back then, is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. He forced inhabitants of a whole region/place (called "Greece" today) to change by force their culture, language, national and ethnic identity to something else that those people were not, so they could artificially change in order to look modern and civilized (like ancient Greeks in Otto's personal view) and possibly be united. And of course, Arvanites and Chams (as the majority population in the region) suffered mostly from this ethnic cleansing. All this revelation, informs another major point: history taught about what today is called Greece, it appears to be taught wrong. People are wrongly taught in schools that today's Greece and its people are the direct descendants of ancient Greeks. Greece and Greeks of today, in some extend, also think they are superior to others just because they are called "Greeks" and their country "Greece" by decree (not by the virtue of the truth). They also seem to believe for some reason, they are entitled to the German and European money being handed out to them. The school textbooks and historiography should change, telling people the truth as it is. And with this, will come many other changes, in the way we see relations with the country called "Greece" today

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.
My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Bronze kept balance between the Mycenean Tribes, Egyptian Kingdom, Assyrian Nation, and Hittite Nomads. But that all changed when the Sea people attacked. Only the Damascus steel mastered all four civilizations. Only he could stop the ruthless water raiders, but when the world needed it most, he vanished.

Seljuks and Ottomans were Turko-Persian. And Macedons first took Anatolia from Persians. Persians and Anatolians are from the same Mesopotamian race. The Anatolian Turks of our time are majorly from the same race too. So, the reality is, Macedons and Italians invaded, occupied and plundered Mesopotamian lands, killed enslaved and assimilated native people for 1200 years, then Turks and Persians joined forces and took it "back".

Those islands, Imvros and Tenedos, were given to Turkey with the Lausanne Treaty in 1923, though their population was over 95% Greek, so that the Turkish fleet could have free access to the Aegean Sea when sailing out of the Dardaneles Straits. Imvros (Gökçeada) and Tenedos (Bozcaada ) had a population of 7, 000 and 1,200 Greeks respectively. However, as a consequence of various measures taken by the Turkish authorities after 1945 (closure of all Greek community schools, large-scale expropriations, various forms of harassment), the vast majority of the original inhabitants of the islands have emigrated, leaving only about 250 mostly elderly members of the ethnic Greek community on Gökçeada (Imbros) and 25 on Bozcaada (Tenedos). www.globalislands.net/userfiles/Turkey1.pdf

Fue la Turquía de Mustafa Kemal la que procedió de la manera más violenta contra los kurdos. Antes de que fuera política, la rebelión era principalmente religiosa y se concentraba en Turquía. Los kurdos, que se encontraron bajo administración turca, apoyaron abiertamente al antiguo régimen del sultán, que había firmado el Tratado de Sèvres que garantizaba la autonomía kurda contra la República. Sin embargo, Mustafa Kemal no quería saber nada sobre los kurdos y su supuesta autonomía; por eso recurrió al ejército para neutralizarlos. Aunque no hubo un "problema kurdo" oficial, la situación dio lugar a numerosas revueltas que sacudieron el Kurdistán turco desde 1925 hasta 1939. Todos estos fueron aplastados por el mariscal de campo Mustafa Kemal. En 1930, la revuelta estalló de nuevo y el ejército turco movilizó a casi 70.000 hombres y un centenar de aviones para sofocar la rebelión. Por su parte, Francia había permitido el paso del ejército turco (nueve divisiones) a través de Siria, entonces colocado bajo el mandato francés, lo que facilitó el aplastamiento del levantamiento kurdo.www.axl.cefan.ulaval.ca/asie/turquie_2HISt.htm#3_LEmpire_ottoman_(1299-1923)_
