      But for some boring facts: Austria really accepted Islam as an official state religion after the occupation of Bosnia. Lest to say "occupation" doesn't really hit the nail since the result of it was new public schools, hospitals, courtyards and infrastructure which the Bosnians were so grateful about that they ended up among the highest decorated WW1 soldiers of the whole Austrian Empire - so the Ottomans had a clue that Austria treated its muslim population quite favorable.

    There was a curious irony involving the Berlin-Baghdad Railway: The first German monarch trespassing Anatolia, Frederick Barbarossa, claimed that his path on the region would be "A Road made of Iron", instead of a "Golden Road", which means he would fight until reaching Jerusalem, instead of paying gold to the Turks, allowing a peaceful passage for him and his knights.
    It appears that the "Road made of Iron" really comes several centuries later, but without bloodshed.

Because the last Mughal "Emperor" decided to join the rebellion, and so Muslims played a deadly price even those to didn't participate, even when the rest(Most) of the rebel rulers were all Hindus.

      It is a bit complicated, while the Ottomans clearly lost Turkey came out of it pretty strong. Just like Austria-Hungary time had basically made both those empires old and dying. Kinda like Russia, really. Running a 20th century country like a medieval empire just didn't work anymore and even if WW1 never happened, they would have collapsed in the 20s anyways.
      And at least, they did get Gallipoli. Who know how things would have turned out if the British successfully invaded Constantinople? Which BTW was wrongly named as Istanbul here, it wasn't Istanbul yet. History might have turned out pretty different then.
      But I don't see the Ottoman empire and Austria-Hungary living past the 1930s even if the central powers would have won the war. There was just too much to modernize.

While he claimed an Jidah Sharif Hussain didn't he declared independence against the ottomans this is just war and war can happen between muslim states.

    I wrote my masters thesis on Anglo/German imperial competition in the Ottoman Empire, in particular the Berlin-Baghdad railway as I believe it to be not only an interesting and oft overlooked aspect of WW1 but also to be a primary cause for the war itself. It includes the oil rush led by a young Churchill in charge of the Royal Navy and moving away from coal powered ships, the Viceroy of India unilaterally seizing Kuwait for the British Empire without the British governments consent in London to stop the railway reaching the Persian gulf and German efforts to bypass suez and create a shortcut to India. At the turn of the century the British government was all but signed up to join the railway project until British business’ with interests in the area (prominent being the owners of steam liners along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers who felt threatened) began a press campaign to stop it and the government backed down. Ironically, initial German interest in the Ottoman Empire was purely economic, it was British attempts (often from sources other than the government in London) to monopolise trade, resources and other development in the area which pushed Berlin to get directly involved and began a descending cycle of confrontation between the two empires.

    • @dogeofgreatness2222
      @dogeofgreatness2222 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @sebâstian turnayev I think you should look at the whole picture. The Turkic peoples first emerged in the Altaic region (a mountaing range between China,Siberia (Russia),Kazakhstan and Mongolia). Basicaly you have Mongoloid(Chinese,Japanese,Korean,Asian etc) Nomads and Caucasoid(Germans,Poles,French,white etc)nomads. So when these nomads (Mongoloids east of the Altaic and Caucasoid west of the Altaic) basically assimilated one another (mixed culture,genetics,customs) the Turks arose. The earlier Turks were part of various multi ethnic Nomadic empires on the Eurasian Steppe like the Xiognu or the Rouran. Then the Gokturk Khaganate emerged and spread across the Steppe and the Turk influence increased as Turkic culture spread and many Nomads assimilated and became Turkified (similarly how many various noamds were united under a similar culture before this which we know as the "Scythians"). So the Turks spread everywhere. In the East in places like Siberia and Mongolia they are geneticaly Mongoloid with less Caucasoid genes as they kept on mixing with the local East Asiatic populations (such as the Mongol or Tungusic people) they started to look more and more "Mongoloid" (like your modern day Korean or Japanese) while the Turks who migrated westward started to replace/assimilate and intermix with the Indo-European people of Central Asia (most of them Iranic groups like Sogdians or Scythians). These Turks started to look more and more "Caucasoid" (like Iranians or Afghans) and the ones who reached Anatolia (modern day Turkey) look extremely similar to Greeks,Armenians,Iranians and other neighbours. So Turks diversified in terms of both genetics amd appearance and essentially every Turkic person is a mix of different genes and even cultures similar and glued together by a "Turkic" factor which is langauhe and similarities in culture as well. So basically both Uzbek and Turks are equally "Turkic" and a Greek looking Turkish person is just as much of a Turk as a Mongol looking Siberian with many differences. As for Turkestan/Central Asia Tajikistan is mostly Iranic whike Afghanistan has significant Turkic minorities (Hazara,Uzbek). As for Uzbek,Turkmen,Kazakh,Kyrgyz and Uyghur they are Turkic peoples because of a "Turkic" culture which has customs from their Turk ancestors as well as the Iranic people that inhabited the region before the Turks migrated there. Similarly they are geneticaly quite mixed as well they bear both ancestry from the Turkic peoples as well as many nom-Turks as well. The best possible answer to your question is "yes the Uzbek are both Turkified and real Turks" they are descended from the original population of Turks and also non-Turks that adopted Turkic culture (this also happened vice versa as Turks were influenced by other cultures as well). I hope you understand. As for Turkish-Uzbek relations that a whole other story.

      The Ottomans weren't especially eager to join the war on either side, since they rightly understood that they and their own interests would be subordinated to the major European powers. While some of the Ottoman leaders had clear sympathies toward one side or the other, their main goal was to try and get the best possible terms they could out of whichever side they eventually joined. So they wanted to see if the Entente would be willing to swear off any further encroachment on Ottoman territory in exchange for the Ottomans joining them instead of the Central Powers.

      @JR - Depends on how 'old school' you like to get. Once the 'Fischer Controversy' exploded during the early 1960s the quality and quantity of scholarly debate expanded with it. There was a bit of a consensus up to about 1960 that everyone just stumbled into the WW1 by accident. Once Fischer wrote his books about Germany's war aims that consensus was gone and has never been reformed. I suppose there is a difference between 'popular' history and real 'scholarly' history. Here in the UK the focus is so heavily on The Western Front and the war of attrition that it's pretty much all we read about or see on television. The Ottomans barely get a mention apart from Gallopilli and 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

Expecting Hitler to keep to his promises once the war was won, is like expecting Hitler to stop invading European countries if the West granted him concessions like the Sudetenland, exactly the mindset behind the failed policies of appeasement. Rudolph Hess even flew to Britain just before the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union and promised Germany would guarantee the British Empire if the British would grant Germany a free hand in Europe and it's not entirely clear whether he did this with Hitler's blessing or not (the Nazis couldn't be seen to be making peace with Britain as this would've upset Japan, hence the secrecy but admittedly it's not entirely clear whether Hess did this of his own accord or not).

Islam says that even in such a struggle, women and children should not be harmed, so why blow yourself up? To kill women and children by tens or hundreads?

    Germany tried something similar in WW2: to use the Muslims in the Soviet Union to fight against the Red Army. The Chief of this Operation, Reinhard Gehlen, was recruited after the war by the US, because the US wanted to make use of his Expertise in the cold war. This might have been the original idea behind the US cooperation with the Muhajedeen in Afghanistan against the Soviet forces there. Read "Die vierte Moschee" by Ian Denis Johnson.

World is kinda graveyard of the countries even now no one remember powerfull kings and generals at their time. They forgotten until the world end. Our timeline, culture i mean just started at all. Just think about it sick man of europe is always sick? It not possible but their kingdom continued 650 years. They collapsed because of their sicness at all. Corraption itself turned as culture that was a dangerus thing in the world. If you doesn't have a change, you will push into change.. I think ottoman get collapsed anyway because that surfed with corraption waves and they refuse to change. I now my english kinda weird but i hope it can understandable.

    The seizing of the Agincourt & Erin is far more complicated. Churchill purposefully had both ships delayed and orders were given not to allow Turkish crews raise their flag aboard Agincourt. In reality, Churchill assured Turkey of joining Germany with the seizure of both battleships. As pointed out the Young Turks, were Pro-Entente. The Pro-German faction was able to win since the loss of the ships was seen a grave insult because the funds for the ships was directly raised from the Ottoman public.

    The reason for the signicance of those two battleships: Russia had built 2 warships in the Black Sea and the Ottoman Empire was now basically helpless without any warships on their own. The decision of the British not to send those ships was a sign that they wanted to be russian allies (long before the "Rape" of Belgium") and - expecting a russian offensive- the ottomans had no other choice than to accept the german ships.
