Suleiman thought "what if the Ottoman Empire was really big?"

>>3084494
At the start they kept taxes for the conquered greeks lower than the byzies so thay got a sort of liberator rep going.
Further because they were like muslim frontiersmen who were called gazis adventurers and mercenaries kept joining them, actually the early ottoman forces were probably a pretty multi cultural band of muslims and christians mainly fighting from horseback.
Later when they became a proper empire the devshirme system sort of ensured a meritocracy for the army and bureacracy which was very good for its time.
So basically they grew so fast because they controlled the main trade routes, had a disciplined army and an efficient bureacracy.

Turk here, i'll answer
Most Ottoman Padishahs were also military generals at the same time, they directly ruled battles/wars till Selim II. It was a family/turkish tradition to do that. I can't see any non-Turkish great dynasties, whether muslim or not, doing that. Ottoman Empire was focused on military more than anything else. So this military culture led to many conquests.

Oh and Selim I's and Suleiman I's conquests made the empire pretty big.

Why should it be given special attention?

same reason most of mises and friedman get ignored, they are ideologicaly laden crap worse than marxism

>>3084528
Friedman's monetarism is quite observation based, I don't see how it's ideological.

what part of "inerrant inspired word of gome" don't you understand?

Well all that is known for sure is that the lower Egyptians weren't.
It seems pretty sketch to think upper Egyptians were an entirely different people.

Upper Egyptians would be darker and blacker due to less European admixture. Egyptian culture and people originated in upper Egypt/Sudan.

They are not related to Americans, but in passing would be considered "black".

>>3084383

No rational person will believe this. It doesn't make much sense.
If they were so Black, why did they speak a language related to Semitic?

They assumed foreign powers would back their revolt, they didn't.

>>3084150
it was a bad idea from the start.

most of the member states were too selfish to agree on anything, being effectively run by an oligarchy of plantation-owners. Logistics was shit-tier,

also they were the ones who started the war, they took lincolns bait like a bunch of retards and get rekt for it.

Sherman did nothing wrong, the confederacy was stupid and incompetent when it came to the stuff that mattered (logistics and grand-strategy, they had some tactical successes sure, but got grinded down by strategic/logistical superiority from the north)

Differently from today, there were money to be made somehow.

In the USAA?

A sudden influx of average income after the stagnation of the 70s and a greater flow of trade between the US and almost everybody else fostered a consumer culture. Computers also allowed the mass-distribution of credit cards which was pretty much free money to the middle class.

That's just my basic understanding, almost definitely wrong about the details

Also, VC has one of the greatest settings for gta. Together with San Andreas.

May Prester Khan Rest In Peace. Actually, may he come back to destroy I. S. and rebuild Mongol Mosul initiating the long awaited Nestorian Renaissance.
