Why Istanbul Isn't the Capital of Turkey

[@primarysuspect5636]

Next: Why isn't Sydney the capital of Australia

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

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.

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)

[@Dear_Mr._Isaiah_Deringer]

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.

[@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions]

You mean how Indonesia is doing a similar thing? No, not really.

[@seraranasisca2434]

@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions no, it's not. Jakarta aka Sunda Kelapa aka batavia is already big and important, sometimes become the capital city of something. If you talked about our new capital city, whatever the name is, not really. Well, yea, one of the reason is to put the new capital city in the middle of indonesia, so the development not only concentrated in java. But some of them also because jakarta often get floods, overcrowded, traffic jam, the geography and geo-development are sucks

[@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions]

@@seraranasisca2434 I'm saying their reasoning is incorrect, not that Indonesia is incorrect for doing that.

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.

Ankara was no more than a village when the resistance moved there. The reason of it becoming too important was logistics. New parlaiment in Ankara been formed about 10 days after the British invaded the one in Istanbul. Which was a big mistake, because when the Ottoman body of the state officials were all closed down, Atatürk and his band of brothers who were organising resistance from East to West to secure hard to communicate provinces first and then start a national movement, usedthis brilliantly. The head of Istanbul parliament was a member of Ankara Parlaiment. Anatolia was poor, and Ankara was one of the towns that had a railroad, postal office and some proper buildings. And it was accessible. When the British pressed Istanbul, most MP's of theirs ran and arrived to Ankara. And if you look ata map, Ankara is a very convenient spot. You can reach it from every side. And when the war was won, the state was already acting as the main body of the country and nobody even desired to move the capital.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ulema e Ahle Sunnah of turkey researches and found Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is jew munafiq. Munafiq is a person who in public and in community shows that he is a Muslim but rejects Islam or propagate against it either in his heart or among enemies of Islam. The hypocrisy itself is called nifāq (نفاق).

I honestly thought that this video was just a joke about istanbul being constantinopole or something because I am still in shock to learn that istanbul isn't the capital. Since I was young until 5 minutes ago I always thought that Istanbul was the capital of turkey.

Have you seen hamburg's tourism advs? They say "hamburg: the biggest non capital city in europe". Dont judge yourself since even the educated government of germany doesnt know what da frik is happening in their own continent
