Turkey

Last week while I was out sick we had a guest speaker who talked about Turkey. I'm not very familiar with the history of Turkey, but I did find a couple nice web sites about the country. Turkey is the home of the Ottoman Empire and the first capital was Bursa.
Unfortunately I found more web sites on how to cook a turkey than I did on the country of Turkey.


This is a web site that talks about the history of Turkey during the Ottoman Empire.

This web site talks about the dress of the women during the Ottoman Empire. There were several types of dress for women in this time period. This web site even talks about the dress for non-muslim women in the capital city of Bursa.

This web site tells about the different sultans in the Ottoman Empire which I thought was pretty cool to see.
