/his/ redpill me on domestic slavery in the ottoman empire.
There were yearly thousands of slaves bought and sold from europe to africa so there must have been many customers outside of the royal palace but for what were they mainly used by just the pasha's and their families or was buying slaves also common with the merchant class ? Also pic is unrelated.

Many like to forget that self sufficient people (note, I did not say societies) are a relatively new concept.

People like Augustus and Napoleon would've been forgotten as wannabes if they hadn't been so successful. Who was close to being as great as them but failed at some point?

Were the Austrians ever actually competent on the battlefield? Their history seems to be a chronicle of both immense luck and immense failure.

That info box is misleading. The Austrian columns were separated and moving out of the area, so that for most of the battle they were actually outnumbered by the French forces and Piedmontese cavalry. At no point were 30,000 Austrian troops deployed for battle there.
>wikipedia as a source
At least nitpick a real battle.

So I'm brushing up my Asian history and I am just wondering
Everyone has heard of eastern tech such as gunpowder and paper making traveling westward but was it just a one sided affair?
Did the Chinese not incorporate any western tech before?
The only thing I even think they used was superior Portuguese cannons and even the I think it was prodominatly used by the Japanese

Glass from Byzantines.
Its first Chinese application? The creation of sunglasses.

>>789583
The portugese brought bread and deep frying to japan.
>>
>>789583
Other way around. The Chinese used more cannons than Japs.
Theres a reason why japan uses the Chinese name for Portuguese breech loaders (Furanki. From the Chinese Folangqi Pao= Ferenggi Cannon)
