Istanbul (previously Constantinople) has served as the capital of numerous kingdoms and empires throughout its nearly 3,000-year history, and yet today the Republic of Turkey's capital is in the city of Ankara. How did that happen?

Melbourne and Sydney kept arguing over which city should be the capital and eventually agreed that they would build a new city between them (Canberra) to be the capital. This is also kind of why Washington DC is the capital of the US, it was a compromise location between the northern and southern states.

Few of them even learn turkish after living in those cities since only language they hear in their villages is kurdish.

Other reasons: -It is too close to western (thracian) borders of Turkey. Russians sieged Istanbul in 1878 and Bulgarians came close at 1912. It was occupied easily by allies in 1918 etc. etc. -After losing balkans in first balkan war and arabian peninsula in WW1 all Turkey got was Anatolia and Ankara is in the center of it. -Constantinople/İstanbul was a pretty cosmopolitan city in the early 20s. Nearly %30 percent of city's population consisted of Non-Turkic ethnicities (Greeks, Armenians etc.) Ataturk and other leaders of Turkish war of Indepence were largely nationalists. So they prefered a homogeneous city as the capital over a cosmopolitan one.

Do spend 2 minutes to read this heart melting historical answer by a great scholar A reply by Huzoor Mujahid e Ahle Sunnat, Hadrat Allaamah Syed Shah Turaab al Haq Qadiri(May Allah Almighty preserve him) Question: Shah sahib Qibla, I wanted to know what is the hukm for Sunnis, when they go for Hajj and Umrah,with regards to performing Salah behind the wahabi najdi imams ? Answer: The Salah of a Sunni is only valid behind a Sunni Imam, and not behind followers of any other sect. Before the saudis took over, the Ottomans ( including Turks, Arabs and Kurds also) were in power. They made such arrangements that four Salah congregations would take place, four musallahs were put down on all four sides of the Kaaba. Hanbali, Maaliki, Hanafi, and Shafi'ee, each follower of each Imam would perform Salah behind his Imam, therefore there was no issue whatsoever. The Ottomans era of rule was the rule of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah.When the saudis came they took the rule from the turks, aal saud and aal shaykh took over the rule of the country.aal saud are the worldly kings which namely control today, and they went as far as naming the Hijaz country by this name also (saudi Arabia) after taking the country by force. The aal shaykh are the children of Muhammad ibn abdul Wahhaab. Before attacking the Sacred Haram aal saud and aal shaykh made an agreement that, they would jointly attack Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah, and when our government is established, aal saud will take over the kingdom and rulership, and aale shaykh will deal with all the religious affairs. The Imams will be theirs, qaadis, madrassas, muhadiths, muftis etc will all be supplied by aal shaykh. After this agreement, they attacked Madinah Munawwarah and Makkah Mukarramah. A few years ago, the Saudi government celebrated their anniversary. King Abdul Aziz was shown on tv riding on a horse within Haram Shareef, slaughtering and murdering people with his sword. Who were these people being unlawfully murdered ? Had the jews suddenly appeared inside the HaramShareef ? No, these were Sunnies being murdered. The Imam of Masjid Nabawi Shareef was slaughtered whilst being on the musallah by a sword. Only 200 people attacked Madinah Shareef. When I first visited MadinahShareef in the year 1977, I stayed with Huzoor Qutb e Madinah Shaykh Zia al Deen Alaihirrahmah. I stayed with them for 40 days, I would hear quietly from them about the history. Huzur Qutb e Madinah told me, only 200 people from the najdi army attacked Madinah Shareef. The Ottomans were such staunch and respectful Sunnies that when they were attacked, they surrendered and laid down their weapons by saying that they will not allow blood to be spilt within the sacred court of the Most Beloved Sall Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, they allowed themselves to be slaughtered and attained martyrdom without defending themselves, and the same was the case in Makkah Shareef. They took over the country in this way. People forget everything! The first thing they did after taking over, was that they bulldozed Jannah al Baqee Shareef. They dug up the graves of the blessed personalities in Jannah al-Baqee Shareef, dug up the graves of Ahle Bait e Kiraam. The Most beautiful Mazaar in Jannah al Baqee Shareef was that of Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani Radi Allahu Anhu. They took it apart stone by stone and flattened it into the ground. Then they demolished the Mazaars of Jannah al Maala shareef. They demolished all these Mazaars, and the Najdis of that time would say, The green dome is the biggest idol, this needs to be destroyed, MaazAllah, But they did not succeed in this evil plan. This took place in the time of Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Molana Abdul Hamid Badayuni, Molana Abdul Aleem sidiqui. There was a journalist by the name Riyaaz al Hasan or Riyaaz al Hussain, whose interview was published approximately 30 years ago in the newspaper Jang. He was a member of the delegates that went to Saudi Arabia to protest. The Saudi government promised them at that time that they would rebuild these mazaars. The small stones that you see today at the Mazaars of the ahle Baqee, which enable us to recognise the maqaam of Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Anha or Sayyiduna Imam Hasan RadiAllahu Anhu, is due to those people who campaigned at that time. Even till today they have not fulfilled their promise of reconstructing the Mazaars. The Tomb of Sayyidah Khadeejah al-Kubraa Radi Allahu Anhaa was beautifully built in the Jannah al Maala graveyard, come and I will show you all those pictures taken prior to this demolition. Now, you tell me, that those evil people who slaughtered thousands of Sunni Muslims, forcefully took over Makkah Shareef and Madinah Shareef. Have you all forgotten everything? And you still dare ask, Why can’t we pray behind them? We do not pray behind them because they consider us, the people of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah,as mushriks. Now, you tell me, wouldyou pray behind someone who calls you a mushrik? This is why we do not pray behind them! If anyone wants to study this history, then study the book of Allaamah Abdul Qayuum, Tareekh Najd o Hijaaz. If you want to research who was Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab search on internet for the book confessions of a british spy. Who was this Hempher? there were seven spies who broke up the Turkish rulership, six of them were men and there was one woman. They went to Istanbul and caused havoc. Hempher, studied the Darse Nizaamicourse with a Shaykh in Istanbul, and studied the Arabic language. He would say, Whenever someone suspected me of spying, I would begin speaking in Arabic. He has completely exposed Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhaab in this book, confessions of a british spy which has been published in Arabic from Kuwait, and also from London, from where these spies belonged. It discloses everything regarding Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab and how he misled him, debated with himand convinced him that alcohol is not haram, and then he persuaded him that Mutah is also halal, ultimately he made him form a temporary marriage with the female British spy. He would praise and flatter him by saying, You are a great servant of Allah. You are like Sayyiduna Umar Farooq, and Allah Almighty has destined great things for you. If you do not believe me, then read this book by the british spy. The book is available openly on the internet. This is the reality of the ale shaykh and aale Saud. Today the simple Muslims think that because this is Haram Shareef, the Imam here will also be someone verypious and god fearing. We do not pray behind these people because oftheir evil beliefs and their past actions as well as their beliefs regarding us. Translated from the urdu audio by Faqeer Mohammed Shakeel Qadiri Ridawi Rabi al Awwal Shareef 2014 Wahhabism was born in the middle of the 18th century in the sleepy desert-village of Dir’iyyah located in the ArabianPeninsula’s central region of Najd ( real name for the land now called Riyadh ). The Wahhabi sect derives its name from the name of its founder Mohammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhab. Namaz behind bad aqeeda gustakhe Rasool wahabi kafir wa murtad is not allowed Hempher Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoirs_of_Mr._Hempher,_The_British_Spy_to_the_Middle_East Book Tarikh e Najd O Hijaz: www.nafseislam.com/en/Literature/Urdu/Books/TareekheNajdoHijaz/TareekheNajdoHijaz.htm

Couple of things I have to mention: National movement had to fight against newly founded Armenian state in the east with the forces loyal to General Kazim Karabekir, and Armenia was reduced to it's former territories before the treaty of Sevres. While the conditions of treaty of Alexandropol was being discussed, Armenia was invaded by Soviet Russia, with the forces of Grigoriy Ordzhonikidze. Soviets allied with Turkey, but not because they loved us dearly, because of their expansionist policies. In the south, irregular forces loyal to the tribal leaders from the region (with the aid of pro-independence Turkish generals) fought against France in a guerrilla warfare fashion and France had to withdraw. Most notable confrontations are Battles of Antep and Kanligecit. Largest theater of the war was indeed the western front against Greece, backed up by UK. But claiming that no other conflict happened elsewhere is simply not true. We even got to the brink of war against UK over Konstantiniyye. (Chanak crisis) Other than that, great video. Ankara at the time was nothing but a village and leaders knew that we needed a fresh start, a complete reset for everything that had ever been done. What is more suitable for a new work than an almost completely blank slate?

I think the most logical choice for a capital of West Germany would have been Hannover, due to several historical reasons, but maybe it was too close to the East German border. Bonn seems to have neen specifically selected because it was far away from East Germany, wasn't as industrialized as many larger cities on the Rhine, wasn't affected by WW2, had beautiful historical buildings, and had some historical significance as the capital of the electorate of Cologne and an important city in the Rhineland.

What an uneducated and embaressing comment. Average temperature of ankara is 11. It barely reaches -10 and it barely reaches 30 in summer, which isnt overly different from izmir just a bit cooler. Also calling ankara inhospitable is even more ignorant since ankara is a prehistoric settlement with 1000s of years of history and second biggers agricultural producer city in turkey after konya. Its fertile, it has a decent weather, its in the center of everything.

Ok, before watching this video I think the reason why Istanbul isn't the capital is because that part of the country is overdeveloped. The Turks moved the capital to a more central location so that in that way, development gets spread evenly to different parts of the country. I think this is more or less the reason why the Brazilian capital is Brasilia (as opposed to Rio de Janeiro), while the Russia's is Moscow (instead of St. Petersburg)

Not really. Also the Russia part isn't accurate either. Moscow was and is larger than St. Petersburg. Indeed St. Petersburg was established much later to replace Moscow as the capital, which was ultimately reverted again. And as far as i remember in the time St. Petersburg was the capital it never had a greater population than Moscow.

You are right. It's not the only reason of course, what's been said in the video is correct too. Anatolia was abandoned for a long time, it wasn't developed at all. (Still, when you compare it to the big cities of Turkey, they lack behind a lot.) Ankara provided a good chance for Anatolia to develop. It is safer than Istanbul from a foreign invasion, it represents the Republic, not the Empire. It represents the Anatolia and leads the way.

Jessica Josephs A bit misleading. Ottomans didn’t “colonize” Constantinople in the same way Britain colonized India. Just call it what it was: conquest and expulsion of minorities. Many cities throughout history have been captured this way, Lithuanians or Poles don’t worry about their now renamed Russian cities. The true answer to why Greece cares is because both Greece and Turkey have massively nationalist populations that focus on irredentism as part of their identity.

I'm sorry. That's a very, very incomplete answer you gave there. The real, tangible reason for Ankara becoming the capital is its defensible position from foreign naval powers. It's to prevent what had already happened to Istanbul's imperial government at the time and secure the new government against any further gunship diplomacy that'd threaten its sovereignty. So, the first and foremost reason is security. Then comes its central location. And at some point down the line comes "oh we don't want to be seen as the continuation of the empire" which, did ultimately fail, sadly.

I think it's better to have your capital as a separate city from your largest one for two reasons. 1) For security reasons as for example - if Istanbul gets bombed at least the federal government will still be alive and the administration buildings will still be intact. 2) It gives the nation a great reason to invest in a 2nd major city.

@@zelpzhx1177 Most probably because Hamburg and Munich are very close cities to the border with Eastern Germany. So I would say because they wanted the capital as far from the Warsaw Pact as possible. The reason for Bonn would be most probably because it was not that significant and was in good shape after WW2. Reunification was the goal from day 1 and capital on an important city would look like a permanent capital rather than a temporary one. Berlin was still seen as the capital for the reunified Germany. Also for a more subjective point. The cities that applied for being the capital were Bonn, Frankfurt am Main, Kassel and Stuttgart. Kassel was too close to the border with East Germany, Stuttgart couldn't affort to be capital so it was really a race between Frankfurt and Bonn. The parliament decided on Bonn in the end with mostly due to convincing of chancellor Adenauer.

What is find interesting is how many countries made a grab for constantinople/Istanbul at the turn of the 20th century. You had Russia, Bulgaria and Greece all trying to get it. Then also Britain. And of course Turkey itself.

One of the reasons why it is not a capital city is that Istanbul, which is already crowded, is not wanted to become a more crowded and uninhabitable city as it is the capital city.

@Thomas Shelby Leader of the Peaky Fookin Blinders firstly we have a parliamentary system where the president is merely a figurehead. Secondly, modi is our prime minister elected by majority of the voters. Thirdly Presidents in India are selected by the parliament, who inturn are comprised of elected representatives. Lastly, I don't like modi but he isn't as bad as the western media portrays him.

Well the definitive reason was because the inteenationaş statues of Marmara was not fixed till Montro Bosphorus Treaty in 1935. Til that time after Lousanne in 1923, Marmara was not totally liberated from the powers of the Allience. So in order to prevent the compromisation of independence of its' capital, Turkish national movement agreed that they should stick with Ankara till these disputes are solved.
