It was a meeting of East and West which heralded the arrival of the modern age in the Middle East. In 1869 t he Ottoman Sultan ruled a powerful multinational empire stretching from the Danu be to the Gulf. At its heart lay one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world: Constantinople, the city of the Sultans.
