I have heard people say that the Ottomans are the successors of the Roman Empire
What does this even mean?
>>2416629
>successors
They were true Romans
>>2416631
In what way?
Turkish propaganda.
They absorbed it.
Byzantium after the forth Crusade was a hollow shell of its former self, with much of Constantinople being semi-abandoned with only a fraction of the people living in it.
It must have been pretty creepy, walking around Constantinople after the forth crusade.
