The Ottoman Empire was such a fucking joke by the end. The Brits should've let Ali put it out of its misery.
>>18457709This could've been prevented if the Ottomans did the right thing(slaughter the euroaches and replace them with turkic settlers). Never show mercy to a cumskinned dog
>>18457721>slaughter the euroaches and replace them with turkic settlersThis would have been a sure fire way to destroy the industrial and agricultural output of the Balkans.
>>18457754They already did that. The Turks ruined the economy of every single land they occupied.
>>18457758But if they had cleansed the lands of the natives and replaced them with Yoruks or Tartars it would ended up completely pastoral, with no crafts of any kind, and inefficient cattle breeding instead of productive grain harvesting.
>>18457754>>18457762>But if they had cleansed the lands of the natives and replaced them with Yoruks or Tartars it would ended up completely pastoral,Balkan geography supports pastoralism and a lot of communities were pastoralists especially in mountainous areas>with no crafts of any kind, Turks were skilled craftsmen, much more skilled than any balkanoid peasant
>>18457809If you mean Anatolian Turks that's one thing, but most of the "Turkic" peoples migrating to the Balkans were mobile Yoruks and Tartars, who were useless with anything but Cattle breeding.
>>18457824Most Turks that settled in the Balkans were from Anatolia, Tatars lived further north in modern day Ukraine and Russia
But muslims are worthless for a muslim state at peace?Muslims pay less taxes and have more privileges. No christians in the empire means less taxes for the state. So less army, less government projects etc.Killing every christian and replacing them with a muslim would get the ottomans genocided off the face of the earth by the rest of the Europeans.
>by the endIt was always a joke
>>18457709The Brits did everything they could to save the Ottoman Empire for almost a 100 years.
>>18458714Just because it hurts your feelings doesnt make it fraudulent
