  3. You have a very flawed logic as you completely ignore the biggest problem of Turks in both late Ottoman and the early Republic era which was simply there weren't many Turks!!! Such as in 1914 there were 13 million Muslims living in Anatolia including both Kurds and Arabs that after casualties during WW1 and spanish flu etc there were around 10 million people left in 1919 while Russian empire alone had 166 million population and European empires were controlling hundreds of millions of people and this was exactly why entente powers thought they could invade Anatolia and divide it as they wished but obviously they miserably miscalculated Turkish will to defend their country despite this extreme numerical superiority. So after 4 years more fighting in 1923 Turkish republic got established but the new regime literally inherited a giant graveyard from Ottoman and didn't have any economic, military nor even manpower for global ambitions therefore Turkey was extremely isolationist for many decades and focused on country's economic development. This was why Ataturk didn't help Uyghur rebellion and for exactly same reason Turkey didn't join WW2 as in 1940 there were only 17 million people living in the country so the soviet army was literally TWICE larger than Turkey's entire population!!! It was after 1955 that Turkey finally heavily industralized and it's population started growing accordingly, almost doubling in only 20 years between 1955-1975 and reached 83 million in 2020. If you check Ottoman golden age, 16th century you would see Ottoman actually had way larger population and accordingly both economic and military power than European empires but they failed to follow inventions and revolutions in the following centuries!! Such as they pretty much completely ignored industrial revolution which kept Ottoman population poor and the empire got insanely outnumbered in few centuries. So after many centuries Turkey is finally reaching a similar economic and military power to Europeans and all those bitching against Turkey is completely about this or perhaps you could really believe Turkey has ''ambitious'' interests somehow even if Turkey is a NEIGHBOUR while nobody questions what the heck US, UK, France, Russia, Germany etc are doing in Middle east which is thousands of kms away from their countries...

  4. ​ @greatpower8147  You are completely right about Turks being a multi ethnic nation, in fact there are even African Turks who are joining Turkish nationalist party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40wOd1learo&t=40s And nobody could tell him he is not a Turk as being Turkish was always about culture even thousands of years ago not a race!! So Turkish nationalism is completely different than German etc nationalism as there is no ''a superior race'' consept rather people just want the best for their nation regardless they are white, brown or black.. But your ''9 million Serbs'' claim is just an extreme exaggeration as vast majority of Christians under Ottoman empire kept their original religion and culture under Millet system as it was allowing Christians to freely preserve them in exchange of paying slightly higher tax called Jizya tax. It is true Ottoman was collecting children from Balkans and raising them as Turks but if only those people failed to pay their Jizya tax which was why it was very rare in Greece where conditions were better while much more often in Serbia. But those were only few thousand people not ''millions'' such as in 1475 Ottoman army had only 6,000 Jannisaries and 40,000 Sipahi, Turkish cavarly!! And claiming there are no Turks rather they all are Serbs etc again is completely wrong as Turkish migration to Anatolia continued for hundreds of years and millions of Turks settled into Anatolia but ofc as i said before being Turkish was never about a race and even those Turks had mixed genetics which was why they weren't mostly mongoloid!!! Modern studies show Central Asia didn't take migration from only east rather west as well and western Turks like Oghuz and Uzbek Turks who always lived round Caspian and Aral seas were mostly caucasoid while eastern Turks like Kazakhs or Kyrgyzs were mostly mongoloid as they weren't living in Central Asia in the past rather in today's Mongolia and even China...
