# Ottoman Sultanate Abolished

> The abolition of the Ottoman Sultanate in 1922 ended six centuries of dynastic rule and formally completed the empire's transformation into a secular nation-state.

## Summary

The Ottoman Empire, historically also known as the Turkish Empire, was a state that spanned much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa from the 14th century to the early 20th century, centred in modern-day Turkey. It also controlled parts of southeastern Central Europe between the early 16th and early 18th centuries.
