>>18124311>Ottoman-built sites in Constantinople.Most literate brownoid
They did around the coasts, but inner Anatolia was never the population core of the empire.
>>18124278Wasn't it an actual issue that the Ottoman Empire funneled all the development and wealth into Istanbul/Constantinople, fell in love with westoid culture and created an upper class of people in the city that saw actual turkish culture as being barbaric or backwards all the while Anatolia was neglected?
>>18124642>upper class of people in the city that saw actual turkish culture as being barbaric or backwardsAnatoliniggers sure proved them wrong by murdering millions of defenseless people and building raping bandits who participated statues.
>>18124278Muslims don't really develop, they just steal. It's why they always fall behind.
>>18124642Yes, they largely assimilated into western culture and adopted its systems, Ottoman sultans were obsessed with becoming the leaders of the romans (rum) and saw themselves as carrying on the legacy of the empire through their LARP. Even today, they desperately want to be European and claim that little nub of land in Thrace qualifies them to join the EU and have been seething about it for decades now.
>>18124658Why is Turkey ahead of Greeks in math achievement?
>>18124626How come all the empires before them develop it but they just neglect their most important regioni?
>>18124691Because modern Greeks are Turks
>>18124699If they were Turks they'd be smart.Why are Greeks behind Turks?
>>18124691If Greeks spent less time praying to idols and more time studying they could do better. But Orthotardation is terminal.
>>18124642Mehmet the Conqueror had a collection of christian relics that he cherished, that were destroyed upon his heir's succession to the throne. Apart from that(if we do not count the tanzimat era) and an occasional venetian portrait, they weren't westernized at all. More like a byzantinistic-persian elite ruling over illiterate turkoman peasants
>>18124691>>18124705Greeks don't even have any data on these maps about 4th graders, you retarded roach.
>>18124718Cyprus
>>18124718Notice how most Orthodox countries refused to participate. Probably because rock bottom scores from their low IQs.
>>18124720Half of Cyprus has been roach-infested for half a century now.>>18124724Possibly, but it's conjecture. Either way, bringing up 4th graders in a math competition to prove your superiority is certainly odd behavior.
>>18124732No matter the age Turks will always be smarter than Greeks or any Balkan people
>>18124691>>18124705Norscans and easterlings deliberately cherry pick the math nerds from every class and specifically prepare them for these exams in special courses. They still get mogged by German autism. meme map
>>18124732I am just saying that Orthodtards are retarded. It wouldn't surprise me if they were out performed by Africans.
>>18124385I don't give a shit about the Islamic culture and buildings there but they and many Moslem countries are squatting on interesting cultural heritage
>>18124744
>>18124758Inbreeding and zutt breaking are foundational aspects of Islamic culture, you dirty kuffar.
>>18124278Ottomans focused all of their resources in Costantinople. It was their precious jewel.Anatolia instead was already a depopulated hellhole after the mass migration of nomadic turkmen that destroyed most cities and turned farmlands into cattle pastures. The sultans even deported the population of entire anatolian cities in the 15th Century to quickly populate Costantinople with muslimsTheir frontiers being far away (Balkans and Mesopotamia) also means no troops send there to help populated the area
>>18124818Ironically this helped protect a lot of the greeks who lived there after the conquest of Anatolia, since the Turks always had frontier trouble they never really focused on getting rid of the Greeks until WW1
>>18124278>Why didn't Ottomans develop Anatolia?Because Anatolia had been so ravaged by the Turcoman migration that the Ottomans themselves were a part of that it was a bad place to invest in. The Turcoman tribesmen dominating Anatolia were rebellious semi-nomadic pastoralists who would raid non-Muslims and each other. They had already emptied much of Anatolia of its pre-existing agriculturalist and urban populations. It was only after the Ottomans fought the Turcoman tribes and forcibly settled them that population levels started to recover. Even then, Anatolia didn't exceed its pre-1071 population levels until the 1800s. For this reason, major infrastructure spending in most of the Anatolian cities you visited simply would not have been economically justified until quite late on in the history of the empire (by which point the Ottomans were decisively economically fucked). Add to that the fact that the Ottomans saw the Turks as unruly provincial hicks and you can see why so little investment went into Anatolia.
>>18124278They built the Hagia Sophia. Isn't that enough for you?
>>18124691>no data for Greece on the map>Turkey sent 5th graders instead of 4th graders
>>18125278Why can't cracker supremacists read?
>>18124278haha OP I love froggo XD
