The Russian effect is spreading, and some people are also dreaming of the Ottoman empire!
Recently, it was reported that Vladimir Putin in Russia signed a decree that illegalized property and exchanged land during the Tsarist and Soviet periods. This order has not only sparked speculation that Russia will take back Alaska, but also aroused the idea of "non-separation" among many people.
In Turkey, for example, there are people who dream of the Second Ottoman Empire.
A few days ago, Turkish TV ** released a map of "Turkey of the Future", which includes Armenia, Cyprus, half of Iraq, most of Syria, part of Greece and so on.
In fact, the Ottoman Empire at its peak is estimated to be something that many Turks will never forget.
1. The Ottoman Empire became a great power spanning three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, and today Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, West Asia, North Africa, and the Caucasus are all imperial territories;
2. The Black Sea is the Ottoman inner lake, and the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea are all marginal seas;
3. The Ottoman Empire is the world's largest oil and gas resource, and today's Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Qatar and Syria, as well as Egypt, Libya and other major oil-producing countries are all within her territory.
Russia's dream of reviving Tsarist Russia and the borders of the former Soviet Union, including Putin's actions, may also spark a desire among the Turks to restore the Ottoman Empire.
I just don't know what the original Persian Empire, Austria-Hungary and others think!
