Before 2000BC the
Hittites, an Indo-European people,
established an empire in Anatolia. The Hittites ruled for
nearly 1000 years until Troy & other powerful Hellenic
city-states rose to power. In the 6th
century Turkey was incorporated into the Persian empire. The Persians lost
control of Turkey
to Alexander the Great, but the region was returned to the Persians when the empire of
the Great collapsed in 300BC.
