Canım İstanbul
Celile, üzerinde Chemins de Fer Ottomans D'Antolie yazılı bileti, Haydarpaşa Garı'nın kapısında bekleyen görevliye uzatırken, dönüp bir kez daha baktı, elini uzatsa yakalayacakmış gibi yakın duran Sultanahmet ve Ayasofya camilerine.

Trade, War and Ceremony
Down to the 1570s the Ottomans held the initiative; their centralised empire proved more effective at mobilising and deploying power than the fractious Christian world.

Trade, War and Ceremony
While Venetian naval hegemony was not an existential threat to the Ottomans, Venetian control of Levantine trade damaged Ottoman revenues, which were critical to their imperial security.

Rise of Ottomans dizisine yanlış kişileri danışman yapmışlar sanırım
Şehrin en sahici fotoğrafı olan makberler, yaşayan ölülere ne kadar duyurmak istiyordur seslerini. Fatih’in kabri, belki de yan caddeden jiple geçerken elindeki sigarasını camdan dışarı sarkıtan hanımefendiye, “Bu topraklarda hem sigara içmek, hem de âşufte suretinde dolaşmak yasaktır.” diyordur. Fakat kim duyar, duysa da kim dinler ki?

Trade, War and Ceremony
After 1500 the maritime hegemony that created and sustained an empire of sea lanes and trade was held on the sufferance of a far larger power, one that had its own Arsenale on the Golden Horn, and a supply of seafaring subject peoples to match that of Xerxes. Fortunately for Venice the Ottomans were more concerned with land than trade, enabling the Republic to retain much of the commerce of the East, but defence costs necessarily rose

The title ghazi was the most obvious legacy the nationalists willingly inherited from the Ottomans. (...) Such was the mystique of this title, the Nationalist Assembly bestowed it upon Mustafa Kemal Pasha during the war against the Greeks. He, despite his commitment to secularism, continued to use the title until 1934 when the Assembly granted him the surname Atatürk.

7 AMAZING SIGHTS YOU’LL NEVER SEE, BECAUSE HUMANS RUINED THEM
The Parthenon
One of the jewels of Ancient Greece, until in 1687 the Ottomans used it as a gunpowder store during a war with Venice. One lucky Venetian shot later—no more Parthenon.
Temple of Artemis
One of the actual Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, until 356 BCE, when a bloke called Herostratus burned it down because he wanted attention.
Boeung Kak Lake
The largest and most beautiful lake in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, until it was decided to pump it full of sand to build luxury apartments on it. Now a puddle.
Buddhas of Bamiyan
The magnificent statues of Gautam Buddha in central Afghanistan, over a hundred feet tall, were blown up by the Taliban in 2001 because they were “idols.” FFS.
Nohmul
A great Mayan pyramid, the finest Mayan remains in Belize, was torn down in 2013 by some building contractors because they wanted gravel for nearby roadworks.
Slims River
A vast river in Canada’s Yukon territory that completely vanished in the space of four days in 2017, as climate change caused the glacier it flowed from to retreat.
Ténéré Tree
Famously the most isolated tree on the planet, alone in the middle of the Sahara Desert—until 1973, when despite it being the only tree for 250 miles, a drunk driver still managed to drive his truck into it.
As Hungary’s hold on the Adriatic weakened and the Ottomans drew ever nearer, many of the small cities on the Dalmatian coast that had once struggled so hard against Venice came to seek its protection. When the Ottomans in their turn were thrown into turmoil by civil war, the Republic prospered. Between 1380 and 1420 Venice doubled its land holdings – and almost as importantly its population.

Discorve was much more difficult than it is now, because a man was asked ‘why?’, and this question forced him to act carefully..
Defending India and the empire thus also meant a strong diplomatic and naval British presence in the Near East where Russia or France, together or separately, might try to break up the Ottoman Empire and share out its provinces. Russia’s claim to protect the Ottomans’ Christian subjects, their forward base in the Caucasus, where they maintained a large army, and the tsars’ longstanding ambition to rule Constantinople (Tsargrad) and master the Straits, were a source of constant unease. Neither did the British forget Napoleon’s Egyptian invasion: all French interest in Egypt was viewed with suspicion.
Ottomans
Türklerin anavatanı, padişahın onları yolladığı yerdi, aslında bütün bu topraklar padişahın mülküydü, yasal anlamda Türklere ait değildi. Türklerin başka bir vatanı, üzerinde herhangi bir hak iddia edebilecekleri bir yurtları olmadığı gibi, böyle bir yurda sahip olma hakları da yoktu.
The first direct relations between the Indian Muslims and the Ottomans were established in the late fifteenth century.

The Ottomans: “Hold my beer”
“İmparatorluk eleştirileri iki grupta toplanır:
• Birincisi, imparatorluklar iyi işlemez. Uzun vadede boyunduruk altına alınmış çok sayıda milleti etkili bir şekilde yönetmek mümkün değildir.”

Social Disabilities versus the Claim of Nationality Privileges
rtime American Ambassador to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau, offered the following confirmatory observation in this regard. The so-called privileges were not due to "a spirit of tolerance, but merely because they [the Ottomans] looked upon the Christian nations as unclean and, therefore, unfit to have any contact...the 'millets' [were] regarded as vermin and therefore disqualified for membership in the Ottoman State." [27]
