>>1734113
I think anyone's who has studied European or Middle Eastern history will know that the Ottoman Empire was a thing.
/his/ is fucking shit.
>yfw Otto Mann existed
>>1734116
Only till the second siege of Vienna.
The Ottoman empire was a thing, but it didn't really do anything besides conquer half of the Muslim world and the Balkans.
And then proceed to get it's ass handed to it by the European powers.

>didn't do much besides terrorise a whole continent for decades, hell, centuries
Without the discovery of the Americas and the ensuing inflation in the empire, Europe would be Moslemic by now.

POLAN STRONK
>>1735542
That was a response to the empire's controlling of trade between Europe and the Middle East. They had no direct influence on the discovery of the Americas.

For real though there are some civilizations that for years only existed in the bible, like the Hittites. I wonder what faces people actually made when they started finding legit Hittite archaeological discoveries.

The ottomans fucked up the spanish and venetians in the med till the battle of lepanto causing venetian decline and the containment of spain.
Also Suleiman financed the protestants during the 30 years war.
>>1737789
not mercenaries, but pirates working from the ottoman eyalet
>In 1627 Barbary corsairs from Algiers and Salé descended on Iceland in two separate raids, taking around 400–900 prisoners (Iceland's population at the time has been estimated to have been about 60,000). This event is popularly known in Iceland as Tyrkjaránið – the 'Turkish Raid', as it was launched from areas under Ottoman sovereignty, although no North African Turks (Kouloughlis) are known to have been involved. Most pirates were Arabs and Berbers, a large part - the Dutch and other Europeans, who converted to Islam.[1] Four ships attacked the eastern and southern coast as well as the Vestmannaeyjar ("Westman Islands"). Ten years later 27 captives made it back to Iceland; a few had come home earlier.
>The leader of one of the raids was Jan Janszoon, also known as Murat Reis the younger, a Dutch pirate who operated from Salé. In 1627 he rented a Danish slave (most likely a crew member captured on a Danish ship taken as a pirate prize) to pilot him and his men to Iceland, where they raided the fishing village of Grindavík. Their takings were meagre, some salted fish and a few hides, but most importantly they captured twelve Icelanders and three Danes, whom they could sell as slaves. As they were leaving Grindavík, they managed to trick and capture a Danish merchant ship by flying a false flag.

Its the ottoman empire at its greatest extent with all the subject nations.
Also lets not forget it was a Turkish empire.
Similarity with arab dynasties is low.

i think he mistook him for osman, the ottomans did support the proddies though
>In the east, the Protestant Hungarian Prince of Transylvania, Gabriel Bethlen, led a spirited campaign into Hungary with the support of the Ottoman Sultan, Osman II. Fearful of the Catholic policies of Ferdinand II, Gabriel Bethlen requested a protectorate by Osman II, so "the Ottoman Empire became the one and only ally of great-power status which the rebellious Bohemian states could muster after they had shaken off Habsburg rule and had elected Frederick V as a Protestant king".
>ambassadors were exchanged, with Heinrich Bitter visiting Constantinople in January 1620, and Mehmed Aga visiting Prague in July 1620. The Ottomans offered a force of 60,000 cavalry to Frederick and plans were made for an invasion of Poland with 400,000 troops in exchange for the payment of an annual tribute to the sultan.[32] These negotiations triggered the Polish–Ottoman War of 1620–21.[33] The Ottomans defeated the Poles, who were supporting the Habsburgs in the Thirty Years' War, at the Battle of Cecora in September–October 1620
