Had my heart when he said that the Ottoman Empire and Turkey are not synonymous. The Ottoman Turks are not a thing, they are the "Ottomans" and they spoke "Ottoman." Absolutely hate the term "Ottoman Turkey" or the "Turkish Empire." Hard to be a Turkish regime when half the sultans had Slavic or Greek mothers. In short, Ottoman = cosmopolitan, Turkish = if you're not Turkish, you don't belong.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGLG3XYJ-Sw&t=2440">40:40</a> "I don't know that the British had any major problems fueling their fleet [with oil]."<br>Well, when the US entered the war they sent battleships to reinforce the North Sea fleet, and they sent older, slower, coal-fired ships precisely because the British could fuel them from domestically produced coal supplies rather than imported oil. So there's that.

Why didn’t the British compensate the Ottoman’s for theft of their ships? The cost to the British of the war against the Ottomans certainly exceeded the cost of those ships.😊

Alright, it wasn't bad. I learned something.

Not to be too picky, but Walachia seems a little misplaced on the map.

Reminder that the Balkans were part of the core of the Ottoman Empire because the Empire needed an endless supply of Christian slaves in order for their state to function and thrive.
