Fun fact: The Ottoman Sultan also holds the title 'Kayser-i Rûm' (Emperor of Rome), a title they've held since they conquered Constantinople in 1453.

[@Dante_-cg3fq]

Not really the sultans of the Ottoman Empire can claim the title by rights of conquest But the titular heir would be the kings of Spain since Andres Paleologos, successor of the last emperor Paleologos IX, gave the title to the Catholic kings of Castile and Aragon.

[@Dr-Ekmek]

@@Dante_-cg3fqSultan Mehmed II is also a descendent of the Byzantine Royalty. Only reason you guys deny it is because Turks aren’t Christians which is stupid; Rome started as a Pagan republic after all.

[@guywithacreativename5134]

@@Dr-Ekmek It’s why they also tried getting Ottomans to become a Christian state. Pope Pius II tried to convince Mehmed to become a Christian. He failed, obviously.

[@Dr-Ekmek]

@@guywithacreativename5134 I am well aware but I still consider the Ottoman Empire what is closest to Rome at its time.

[@DominionSorcerer]

@@Dante_-cg3fq I would argue that the Ottoman claim of the title by rights of conquest is more legitimate than the inherited claim of the descendants of Ferdinand II and Isabelle I when Andres had already abdicated and sold the Imperial titles to the House of Valois. Several kings of whom actually styled themselves with the Imperial titles and harbored dreams of retaking Constantinople where neither Ferdinand or Isabelle nor any of their descendants did.

In hindsight, the tagline of "What if 'Germany' had won WWI" makes a lot more sense than "What if 'The Central Powers' won WWI." Austria Hungary and The Ottoman Empire didn't really "win" as much as they survived the war.

[@mynameistomfoolery5470]

The Ottoman Empire was the only state in the CP to have a frontline and a functional standing army (the German army by 1918 had essentially collapsed). The Ottomans were indeed the best state after the Germans in the CP as they had caused many defeats to the British - causing the British to send more forces to the ME, meaning Germany had to fight less men. The Ottoman army was indeed a competent force that was in some scenarios was hindered by German advisors.

[@isakferm7686]

I agree, the germans definitely have won with giant land grabs in Asia and Africa, a bunch of client states in Europe and with military and economic dominance to enforce it’s will. While the Habsburg and ottoman empire were just wrecks. And also Bulgaria, who also have won a lot but is overstretched.

A communication sent by a member of the Secret Intelligence Service of his majesty the king on current events in the Balkans: “It appears like always that the balkans is on fire. What has yet to be seen is if this fire will smolder out, or if the blaze will spread across Europe like last time. We will see. Perhaps this can be of use to us for Operation Ithaca. We will see.

One thing, Gaziantep used to be only Antep. Gazi means veteran, it was given this name after the War of Turkish Independence for the city's fierce resistance against the French. Same way Maraş is Kahramanmaraş right now which means Hero Maraş, but it was named right in the video.

The Empire needs a Murad IV persona here. The last of his line to led a military campaign and won in Baghdad and Yerevan. Died so young.. because you know, the endless court conspiracies, malfunctioning economy, and helplessly incapable officials. His life is a testament both to everything fearsome and grand in the Ottoman realm and to the inevitability of the empire’s fall. Modern Turkey has immense potential. Funny enough, its sole problem (that no one is talking about) is being a successor to a Balkan-first empire that does not exist anymore in the Balkans. The first century of the republic had passed as we tried to figure out what to make of Asia Minor, a vast open terrain that honestly no one cared about for a millennium..
