The Ottoman Empire was a European empire, debate me

fake map, it contains some places which were held for a couple years.

ottomans came from asia

How can the Ottomans be the Sick Man of Europe if they're not European?

North America would be so much better today if the borders stayed like that

Uruguay is Brazilian clay

Topkapi palace was in Europe. That literally makes the Ottoman Empire a European Empire.

Europeans are nothing more than savages warmongers

better question; why don't we do this anymore

Same reason Russians can be the Sick Man of Asia when they're not Asian.

Oregon and Washington was claimed by multiple empires for a long time

We had colonies in California and Hawaii

How did Saudi keep their independence?

i didnt know that a lot of shitskins hate all europeans just because they have light skin

cisplatina is rightful brasilean clay

ridiculous tech lead. Like having nukes in the Rennaissance age in Civ 4. Practically no competition, but they weren't as brutal as the Romans or Greeks and they didn't genocide the natives enough to prevent them from overthrowing them later.

It wasn’t just claimed but recognized by the only powers that could treat the claims in an agreement after your revolutionary war

We got bored of bantering each other and other people bantering us constantly so we decided to banter the world.

spanish subhumans must die

Filipe is a good name lad, and he as was good lad too, the destroyer of swamp Germans.

Not really, our mainland was still underpopulated so no need for colonists to go elsewhere.

They did because it was a desert hellhole (oil was irrelevant back then), the coastal cities were under ottoman rule though, hence Lawrence of Arabia
