Turkish history begins about 4000 years ago during the Aegean Sea, it was at that time when the Bronze Age began. At this point, the Greeks first settled in Anatolia and then colonized much of northern Europe and Asia Minor, eventually spreading their culture throughout western Asia. As time went on they would start to travel to Turkey, as they were growing interested in what they'd seen there and so they started trading with them. The Romans, Arabs, Greeks, Mongols, and Carthaginians all had a significant presence in those parts of Asia Minor and later moved on to Central Asia (and India), and finally ended up forming a large empire during the 5th century CE.

After conquering Persia, Alexander the Great got his first taste of Asian civilization, but things weren't going well for him for many reasons. He decided to establish a new trade route in northern Europe because he wanted to. In the end, he got land in Anatolia where he could settle down and build a large city that would become Istanbul. Things significantly changed when Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II succeeded Murad II in 1453 CE. Even though Mehmed's nomadic lifestyle and the absence of a central government restricted these regions' freedoms and did not completely alter the way people lived back then, it did increase the population of cities like Constantinople. From the 1400s to the 1500s, a lot of people moved to these areas. With guns and horses from the Middle East, Spain, Italy, France, England, Germany, Holland, and Sweden, this gave way to European invaders.

A great deal of these states was ruled by nobles and the military, even though most of these settlers came from Western Europe and so the languages spoken were mainly French, Portuguese, Danish, and Swedish. After centuries of expansion and colonization, the Ottomans were now able to rule most of Southeast Asia by 1553 and then conquer almost all of it. They took an opportunity to expand further south of them and invaded Persia. From here things slowly turned around because of a strong central government, better laws for civilians, and the growth of education as a whole. However, by this time, both the English and Spanish Empires had fully collapsed and you could see a power vacuum in the world due to it. In 1682, Charles I saw an opportunity to reinvigorate Europe and take advantage of the situation by creating the Dutch Republic. Things got pretty bad in Europe so a small group of aristocrats tried and failed to establish a counter-country in Amsterdam, which went down badly. Eventually, Charles bought out the Netherlands and created a state in the process. His country became known as Holland, not only did everything turn right in Holland but it also became one of the richest countries in the world. By 1713, Dutch citizens had more than 200 nationalities.


King Constantijn V. abolished the absolute monarchy and established a constitutional parliamentary democracy after being dissatisfied with Holland's successful administration for a few hundred years. Europe was completely transformed as a result of a second reform that was implemented concurrently with this one. As the Holy Monarch, Louis XIV, who had been crowned the day before, was given complete authority because he could name governors and appoint them while still exercising the monarch's authority. Each member was permitted to select a Prime Minister and hold any other public office following the dissolution of the Parliament, or "Parliament."The expansion of Charles I's court to encompass nearly all of Europe, including the West Indies, marked yet another significant step toward the development of contemporary Europe. As a result of Britain's demise, several colonies were established in places like North America, India, Africa, and the former British Empire territories. The term "Old World" was given to these colonies because of how quickly they developed and became prosperous."However, Eastern Europe went through the same thing, so Russia and China were left behind. Life continued as usual, and all that time spent doing nothing seemed pointless—until something wonderful happened...On February 25th, 1820, Napoleon Bonaparte defeated the emperor of Austria, Karl Wilhelm I, and broke his throne. On October 20th, an army set off from Paris to invade Belgium, but surprisingly the Belgian Army wasn't in charge. There was a bit of confusion because the First Coalition led by Prussia defeated the Second Coalition led by France but unfortunately, the Second Coalition lost too many battles, thus ending up with only 6 months to regroup and fight again. Meanwhile, Napoleon continued his conquest across Europe, winning several victories in France, Switzerland, and Norway before running afoul of Charles's forces in Poland. When the Russian campaign finally reached Moscow in late July 1812 and Charles asked for peace he received word that the war had been lost. However, he chose to ignore the news and instead ordered his troops to march westward toward Saint Petersburg, which is still the capital city of Russia today. That fall Napoleon crossed Moscow and surrounded Saint Petersburg. By August 1st, Russia fell and Napoleon found himself facing resistance on the west and east sides of the country, making every attempt to capture St. Petersburg. Eventually, at midnight he was forced to withdraw in defeat.

On December 8th, 1815 Napoleon arrived in Vienna, but he was never heard from again. Everyone knew that if he had failed to enter Russia that might have ended up causing conflict when Napoleon marched upon Moscow. So, he went and took possession of Rome in March 1816. With his final triumph, he claimed victory from Naples in Sicily in the eastern part of Italy, to Hungary and Romania. Soon after, the French Navy captured Tunis and placed him under guard. Also on June 3rd, Napoleon took Egypt and moved on to Libya. Then, on July 23rd, he moved to Tripoli and was welcomed by the Arab cavalry. For three days, the French naval fleet held out against a huge Meridian force and fought valiantly, until on August 2nd, the tide turned to the French side, and the Egyptian Army surrendered and signed an armistice. Later, on November 10th, Napoleon entered Syria, taking Tripoli along with it. To begin with he treated his soldiers well and offered them gifts but soon realized that they were hungry and tired and so decided to make camp in Cairo. On January 19th, the French army marched northwards and by May 13th, he finally entered Russia and was greeted by a crowd. He laid siege to Moscow and the rest is history. Although the French won the battle of Waterloo, they would lose the civil war and lose the Napoleonic Wars which lasted for decades after Napoleon's death...
