In 1453, the city of Constantinople (nowadays Istanbul), the capital of the Byzantine empire, was captured by the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II. Constantinople remained the Ottoman capital until 1923. Ottoman cultural, political, and economic power reached its zenith during the 16th century. It took control of parts of Persia, most of Arabia, and large sections of Hungary and the Balkans. By the early 16th century the Ottomans had also defeated the Mamlūk dynasty in Syria and Egypt, and their navy under Barbarossa soon seized control of much of the Barbary Coast. By the eighteenth century, the vast Ottoman empire started to decline. By the nineteenth century, many of its territories in North Africa, Europe, and West Asia were lost. The Ottoman period spanned more than 600 years and came to an end only in 1922. In 1923 the Ottoman state was replaced by the modern Turkish Republic, established by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk who serves as its first president.
