Have there been territorial disputes or boundary changes in Turkey. I've been trying to research them and find a map of how Turkey used to look, but I coun't find any good information. If anyone could help with any websites about it, I would really appreciate it! THANKS! :D
The Republic of Turkey, established in the 1920s has not changed its borders.

Absolutely! I can certainly help you with that. Turkey has indeed experienced territorial disputes and boundary changes throughout its history. To find information about them, you can utilize various resources.
1. Reliable websites: Some trustworthy websites can provide you with historical information and maps. A good starting point is the CIA World Factbook, which offers concise information on Turkey's boundaries and territorial changes. Another reliable source is the Library of Congress Country Studies, where you can find detailed historical accounts and maps.
2. Academic databases: Utilize academic databases such as JSTOR or Google Scholar to access scholarly articles and books that discuss Turkey's territorial disputes and boundary changes. These sources often provide in-depth analysis and references to further readings.
3. National archives: Many countries have national archives that preserve historical information, including maps and documents related to territorial disputes. Websites such as the National Archives of Turkey or the Library of Congress in the United States might have relevant information.
4. Online map archives: Websites like Old Maps Online or Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection (University of Texas at Austin) provide access to historic maps from various time periods. By searching for Turkey or its historical regions, you might find maps that reflect the country's previous boundaries.
Remember, when conducting research, always check the credibility of the sources and cross-reference information to ensure accuracy. Now that you have some starting points, I hope you are able to find the information and maps you are looking for. Good luck with your research!
