Give on reason

>conquer depopulated, backward Byzantine empire
>conquer a bunch of irrelevant meme countries in the Balkans and the desert
>run out of scrubs to fight
>get BTFO for 500 years straight but continue to exist because no one wants to annex your shitty territory

>>71401984
>constantly have to fight off crusaders
>constantly have to fight the Habsburgs who were the strongest European family
>constantly have to fight the persians, the russians and the austrians at the same time
>still manage to survive

I don't think you understand. No other Empire was able to hold such a vast, multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-lingual empire together for so long. Ottomans held Shia, Sunni, Orthdox and Catholics, coptics and many more together

has been only 4 historical global Empires: France England Portugal and Spain, and nowadays only USA and the CCCP, you can put the mongols and these people in the second tier Empire with the moslems the Holy Roman Empire and shit like that

> not the HRE

>>71403946
>Portugal and Spain
They contributed nothing to the world.

Just plundering lands and wasting the riches through corruption is not a civilizational feat.

mongol empire is the second biggest empire and biggest cosanguineously, and was arguably the most important one of the middle ages

spanish armada was impressive but literally anyone from Eurasia could have conquered the New World kek

Anyone can appreciate the Ottoman empire, but only a Turk would say it's the greatest empire when there are so many clearly superior alternatives.
