>all the sultans had European mothers and European wives, just look at their genealogy >the sultans after Bayzeid we’re genetically European and closer to Northern Europeans than to arabs or anatollians >the Empire besides being ruled by a European had other Europeans ruling regions, look at all the viziers and governors - all European in origin
So why isn’t this empire considered a European colonial empire? European rulers, ruled over some Europeans (balkans) and non Europeans but the rulers were still Europeans.
>all European in origin Not all of them. About half of them were Turkish. The European ones were taken from their families and were given to Turkish families and grew up Turkish
Anthony Barnes
their culture is Asian and their religion is Arab.
Noah Brown
Because its an empire of non whites
Parker Carter
Asia Minor has never been considered Europe. Since the fucking Hittites and Assyrians. Only Zhang from Vancouver, Khan the Turkish nationalist who wants Gibson, and EU Commissioners paid by George Soros to "diversify" Europe.

>The European ones were taken from their families Why did they take them?
Luis Davis
The rulers were white, the owner European territory. Ipso facto a European Empire.
Look at the genealogy, they were Europeans. There was no such thing as “Turkish” before 1920 ad.
Owen Turner
They wanted whiter children the Turks as they envied the looks of whites
Austin Turner
>The rulers were white, the owner European territory. Ipso facto a European Empire. 1 drop rule
Josiah Garcia
The owned the balkans, the cradle of European civilization. The sultans were Europeans genetically (mothers and wives), and the governors were all Balkan Europeans. Ergo European Empire.
