Description: The Black Sea is defined by Europe, North Asia and Caucasus. In ancient times, colonies were established there for commercial purposes. The first city, Sinope, was founded by Milesians and gradually others were built such as Trebizond, which became an important shipping centre in antiquity as well as in Roman and Byzantine times. In 1071 AD in the Battle of Manzikert the Turks settled permanently in the Pontiac area. After the fall of Constantinople by the crusaders in 1204, the empire of Trebizond was established, which remained intact until 1461. The rise of Turkish nationalism led to the genocide of the Pontians at the beginning of the 20th century.
