Okay, we are making progress. Now answer this: why did other empires hold on to their land we lost our lands?
And you say Ottomans had great achievements? What achievements do they left on the Balkan? They don't even speak our language anymore whereas the Russian empire did leave a mark. Everywhere Russians went they still speak Russian.
Oh now i get it you'r sore with the fact that the ottomans never had an ethnic cleansing/ assimilation policy. Well in your opinion that might make it unsuccesful but my opinion is that shows me again how civizlized the ottomans were especially considering that europe was going through it's dark ages.
You as an european turk should know what kind of a turk the ottomans left in the heads pf the western europeans. Even today european citizens still have a biased opinion of the turks left by the ottomans.
