When the fuck are we going to get Constantinople back?

>>2443389
*istanbul

Never! Just try it faggot ;)

A more appropriate question to ask would be when are Paris and London going to fall under the formal control of a caliph?

The Holy League could have made a credible attempt at retaking it in the Great Turkish War if it weren't for the French who saved the Turks by attacking Austria to preserve the balance of power.

The Ottomans were on their last legs after an exhausting war and several crushing defeats and the Holy League just needed to keep on pushing, which they were perfectly ready to do - until Louis XIV attacked.

>>2443483
Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian volunteers fought for the Holy League, and their nations weren't awarded any autonomy, because the war was cut short.
Meanwhile, Hungarian and Transylvanian nations, who fought for the Ottomans at least initially, were awarded some autonomy.

This is not the way the war should've played out.

Papist legate literally had polish king do a ( a pretty succesful, as Mehmet almost got BTFO) suicide charge, after that literally everything went wrong. Turks don't deserve credit for winning that battle, the Papacy deserves it for losing it on purpose.

Yeah, two Ottoman sources.

Basically everyone else states that the crusaders were heavily outnumbered and still managed to inflict horrific casualties.

> Turks won with ability, not numbers.

lol, the crusader cavalry charge reached the sultans personal tent, the Ottoman army failed and the only reason they won is because the army routed once they saw the moron Vladislav's head on a pike.

It was an moral rout in the middle of a crusader onslaught that launched the whole Ottoman army into retreat.

The Ottomans were as lucky as at Nicopolis, where the Serb heavy cavalry saved the day by surprise charging into the crusader flank.

>>2444534

But it's not a meme, all revised sources list Ottoman combatant numbers as far higher than their Europeans combatants. The only time they win battles with the same numbers is when it's ottomans defending fortifications

>>2444746
Why can not the Greeks do anything for themselves? The British liberated Greece and won the first wars against the Ottomans for them, the only thing the Greeks had to do alone was to win a dead empire in a civil war and failed

Putin is bff with Turkey now.

I just don't see any situation in any sort of future where someone tries to take the city and doesn't just completely ruin it of the things we want anyway. Upon first signs of people entering the city, the locals would level the Hagia Sofia out of sheer spite. It was one of the main things the 100,000 strong Greek army was worried about back in 1919 and one of the reasons why they tried to just take Ankara instead

>>2443516
ayy lmao

>>2443389
when we turn the entire black sea in to freshwater and then the city becomes a boom town due to size and relative location.

Its Turkish now.
It'd be nearly unrecognizable to the Byzantines that inhabited it in 1453 anyways.
The only option is conquest and we sure as hell don't want that, given that with conquest comes destruction.

Perhaps because its hundreds of years ago and those Byzantines are dead

>>2445536
But the locals are buttmad because it isn't a mosque anymore, are you sure they would level their crown jewel (outside of the blue mosque I guess)?

>>2445536
>what is a neutron bomb

The population exchange with Greece pretty much destroyed any chance at the city changing hands back to the west in the near and likely the far future as well.
