List of German ambassadors in Turkey contains the envoys and ambassadors of the German Empire and the Federal Republic of Germany in the Ottoman Empire (until 1918) and in Turkey (from 1924). The seat of the legation or embassy was originally Istanbul, but since 1928 it has been in Ankara. [1]
The following lists diplomats from the founding of the German Empire (1871), although individual German countries had been sending diplomatic representatives to the Bosporus or Asia Minor for significantly longer. Since the early 16th century, the Roman-German emperors maintained a permanent imperial embassy at the Sublime Porte; other German states mostly maintained agencies or consulates that were gradually declared to be accredited legations, such as: Saxony (from 1712), Prussia (from 1756) or the Free Hanseatic Cities (from 1841).
Due to World War I and World War II, there were no diplomatic relations between 1918 and 1924 and between 1944 and 1952. The official rank and title of Germany's highest-ranking representative was from 1871 to 1895 and from 1924 to 1933: "Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary."

A legation was a diplomatic representative office of lower rank than an embassy. Where an embassy was headed by an ambassador, a legation was headed by a minister. Ambassadors outranked ministers and had precedence at official events. Legations were originally the most common form of diplomatic mission, but they fell out of favor after World War II and were upgraded to embassies.
Denmark–Turkey relations are the current and historical relations between Denmark and Turkey. Denmark has an embassy in Ankara, and Turkey has an embassy in Copenhagen. Both countries are members of NATO. Diplomatic relations between Denmark and Turkey were put under pressure in 2014 because of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and the Roj TV affair (Roj TV's broadcasting license was suspended by the Supreme Court in Denmark on February 27, 2014). Denmark is a member of the European Union, Turkey is not a member.

During World War I, Ethiopia briefly forged an alliance with the Allied Powers, following Italy's entry into the war in 1915. In June 1916, a dynastic conflict emerged when the uncrowned Emperor, Lij Iyasu, was alleged to have converted to Islam under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, which led him to be charged with apostasy. As a result, then-regent Ras Tafari Mekonnen, later known as Emperor Haile Selassie, orchestrated a coup d'état in September, deposing Lij Iyasu and installing Empress Zewditu on the throne. Throughout the war, Empress Zewditu maintained a stance of neutrality.
