Turkey is a successor state of the Ottoman Empire, a multi-ethnic empire consolidated by gradual conquest during medieval and early modern times (1300-1700). The pre-Ottoman history of Turkey may deal with the territories that remained under Ottoman rule until the collapse of the Empire, Thrace and Anatolia, or with the origin of the dominant ethnicity of the Empire, the Oghuz Turks, which emerged from Central Asia from the 9th century. The modern Republic of Turkey is a nation-state, the product of the rise of nationalism under the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish National Movement, to the point of exclusion, or even extermination of non-Turkish ethnicities from its territories (such as the Armenians or Kurds). The history of Turkey in this sense begins in 1908 with the Young Turk Revolution and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
