No concubines. Abdulmecid modernized the Empire

>>51022254
fuck abdulmecid
he was a faggy little cunt

>>51022317
Extrapolate, please. Abdulmecid the First (just for the reference)

>>51022254
no he didnt. but at the end of the day all empires must die sooner or later. ottomans had a jolly good run

>>51022514
A lot of implications, no extrapolations: >>51022514
Abdulmecid was a reformer. Not as grand as others might have been, but one nevertheless

Dolmabahce Palace. Built by Garabet Balyan, with such extravagance, it made a lot of heads hurt. All the right stones and crystals, it really looks like it was worth it. Thirteen years, 110,000 m2, 35 tonnes of gold

Kuleli Military school. Another work of Garabet Balyan. The school gave Osman Nuri Pasha. Celebrated Ottoman military man (despite his incomplete use of pre-trench warfare tactics. Can't blame him entirely, he didn't have the proper manpower for the tactics he used)

Ottoman is dead.

There is no point in these kind of threads.

Battle of Chaldiran artwork. Where the Ottoman army secured the eastern expansion, at the expess of the Safavid led Persians. I believe the only two people to give Ottomans a proper trashing were Abbas the Great and Nader Shah. Nader was a beast, but Abbas was prepared (used the Long War entanglement and the revolts within the Ottoman Empire)
