Daily reminder that if the Treaty of Sèvres had been upheld, Thrace should be Greek. They could have even gone futher and given Greece Constantinople (at least the Thracian side) as well as all of the coast from Dardanellia all the way down to Smyrna. This way, Constantinople would be great again.
Also, I find interesting that for such a big empire, Ottomans have built very small amount of truly remarkable buildings, and 90% of them are in Istanbul.

No offense greekbro, but Otto developed one of the high cultures of the time and has been a worthy opponent for the Europeans. Meanwhile you have been smuggling tobacco and shagging sheep.

They've the turned a modest and sparsely populated part of Europe into a raging chasm and ethnic imbalance, systematic lack of development and primitive mindset that defines race on the basis of religion.
Daily reminder that you will never get Istanbul back. Its your problem that you got cucked

Yeah, look how they made Athens great again.

Do we know why the Ottomans went through the trouble of covering up the Christian art in the Hagia Sophia instead of just replacing it?

Salonika was the second biggest city in Ottoman Empire. It was known for being the center of many political movements, like Young Turks. It was truly multicultural city in a working sense. It was known for being a beautiful port city. Look how Greece made "Thessaloniki" great and fully Greek again.

Mehmed the Second was Byzaboo, he even held a ceremony for the fallen Byzantinian Emperor. And in general they respected the culture and architecture of locals. That is why they managed to be succesful until Nationalism kicked in.
