What If the Ottoman Empire Modernized? The Tanzimat Success Story / Victoria 3

[@Sandman10032]

I was so surprised that your Inca video wasn’t in your top 3 most popular. I’d love for you do something similar with the Aztecs or an alt history with a surviving Vinland settlement

Vinland is a great idea.

I wouldn't even notice exactly when the game starts if i wasn't turkish and a history buff. Narrative is that good and captivating. Really enjoyed it and i will be watching your next videos for sure.

[@ArdaSReal]

I wrote a paper on the Tanzimat period in school. I was amazed at how basically no one knows about it and how close the Ottomans still came to reform the empire. If it all would have started earlier, i say it woulf have been successful.

[@eraycicek]

Especially compared to iran its very successful. It could start earlier but well its hard to make a change when there is no need to solve a problem.

[@ArdaSReal]

@eraycicek yes in the end it doesnt really make sense to go "if only they had done..." all empires fall, ottomans were successful enough it wasnt realistic that the empire goes on, age of imperialism was just over Atatürk saw that correctly

[@evenmorecheese2785]

I am amazed by the quality of this video! I came here expecting a standard (if interesting, because I like the Tanzimat mechanics) Victoria 3 video, and I found one of the best narrative lets-plays I have ever watched! Not only is the gameplay pretty good (I like the roleplay mod), but the alternate history and narrative aspects of the video are incredibly well-researched and well- put together. I probably learnt more about 19th century Ottoman history in this video than I did with the Istanbul Museum Pass! You've earnt yourself a new subscriber (I can't believe you don't have more). TL;DR: Came for the Vicky 3 gameplay, stayed for the alt-history and Ottoman history lesson.

[@ShalinTM]

Not the type to comment a lot, but the quality of this video and the dedication seen does not go unnoticed, you are unique, my friend, your videos are the cream on top of all the vic3 videos I've seen. Keep up the amazing work!

[@lelouchsiege]

[@analisisawam196]

I was wondering when you'll make this video. Finally after long wait.... Thank you ❤ Can't wait for the sequel. Please make the sequel my guy

[@Kydino]

First time viewer and now a subscriber, absolutely good video. I also liked how you implemented the roleplay, instead of just seeing the ruler traits and political situations as a way to negatively impact the country you choose to use them as way to divert the reforms into something that would fit the ruler's personality. I really liked that, too many rp centered channels and playthroughs just focus on the negatives and try to intentionally play badly.

[@benjaminobienu5297]

A sequel would be fantastic, and what would been amazing is the Ottomans becoming the Healthy Man of Europe and replacing Persia as the domain power in the Middle East. But this is a great video, Mr. Synthist; please make these videos, for they are worth watching. I really mean it!

[@SuurTeoll]

Funny to see your super-protectionist Ottomans aligning with the Brits: in 1840's, they would really hate the Turks much more than even the Russians because of this autarky demo version. Perhaps, maybe the French were not such a bad option of alliance choice, despite of Algiers War, for Ottomans and French had their long-lasting alliance and amicable relations back then in Early Modern time, after all. And yes, explosion of folks identifying themselves as Turkish in your timeline is indeed mindblowing. Still going to expect in such timeline absolute Charlie-Foxtrot in nationalities matter, if only it would turn much more like Balkan and/or East European unlike the Middle Eastern one. Nevertheless, as always, the video is enjoyable. P. S. Never expected to see so overwhelmingly Ottomanish game that even save files would get corrupted into dysfunction. The most authentic RP ever.

amazing video there fam but please, i beseech u to make an eloquent retrospective video on What if the Mongols didn't extinguish the Islamic Golden Age and on the contrary, made diplomatic friendly relations with the Caliphate?! and mutually, i appeal you with this request for a vid idea plz :c

[@flipperi-e9r]

To be honest, the Mongols only destroyed a decadent, corrupt and declining version of the Abbasid caliphate. Their Golden Age was done. The only real difference would be that Muslim world might be more politically united, although even that isn't guaranteed. There could've been an unexpected Islamic equivalent to the Protestant reformation.

[@beowulf_bateman]

@@flipperi-e9r yea i do actually vindicate with the points and indications u made in this statement although i to a fair extent, disregard with some few points but nonetheless indeed.

[@flipperi-e9r]

@@beowulf_bateman I take back the Protestant reformation equivalent thing, as the Mosque was never as overbearing as the Church. But still, it was definitely not uncommon for Muslim groups to just deny the authority of the caliph even before the Mongols. Like the Almohads and Fatimids, who claimed to be caliphs themselves.

[@aliatar9325]

The Abbasids themselves extinguished the golden age. But if they really did have diplomatic relations they would still try to take power over the Abbasids. They would then be able to push into Europe much easier due to extending less manpower to overpower other Muslim powers
