Istanbul , Istanbul , Turkey

Beyo?lu (bey-oh-loo) and Galata In the 19th century, new ideas brought from Europe with traders and diplomats walked into Ottoman daily life down the streets of Beyoglu and Galata. The Europeans who lived in Beyoglu new imported fashions, machines, arts and manners to the city. This part of town had telephones, underground trains, tramways, electric light and modern municipal government. In contrast Old Istambul (Stamboul), on the south bank of the Golden Horn, kept its oriental bazaars, great mosques, draughty palaces, narrow streets and traditional values, and seemed almost to be living in the Middle Ages when compared with its sophisticated neighbour . Beyoglu holds the architectural evidence of the Ottoman Empire frantic attempt to modernise and reform itself, and the evidence of the European powers attempt to undermine and subvert it. As the Ottomans struggled to keep their cracking, ramshackle empire together, the European diplomats in the embassies of their great Beyoglu were jockeying for domination of the entire Middle East. They wanted to control its holy places, its sealanes through the Bosphorous and the Suez Canal and especially its oil, already important at that time.
