But it wasn't. The Ottomans had plenty of Christians in its empire- it allowed those outside the state religion, unlike the Spanish and French, to live in their empire. In fact, it depended on them, as non-Muslims had to pay a tax (yeah, I know that stinks, but it's either that or a Muslim Crusades, your pick). So to suggest that they were going to forcibly convert Europeans is ridiculous.
In case you're wondering, yes, Albania is Muslim because they converted to avoid those taxes. You could blame the Ottomans for requiring a non-Muslim tax, or you could ask the Albanians why their faith was so weak.
So technically you're right, but you'd also have to blame the Europeans, since the Ottomans didn't force conversions.
You know, personal responsibility.

First of all, learn English better, please. Proper grammar is key.
Second of all, unless you want to flood New York City, Philedelphia, Hartford, Myrtle Beach, and every other East Coast city in the U.S., we can't afford not to switch to solar.
Third of all, send me links proving that climate change is "incomplete." Show me the data that says the rate of ice melting, atmospheric pollution, and water level rises aren't caused by increasing methane and carbon-dioxide levels in the air, produced by cars and factories.
I'm waiting.

200 years of hiding behind oceans will do that for a country— no matter how inbred its citizens are.
Put the U.S. in Russia's situation, but replace the players so it makes sense.
Get this:
For hundreds of years before the U.S. is founded, it's forced to fight from all four sides— the Navajo Nation, The French Canadians, the Mexicans, and the Sioux. They have immunity to your diseases this time. Your nation is caught in the middle.
Then (no imagination needed here) you're colonized by a foreign power, but (bc Russia missed out on the Renaissance due to the Mongols) you don't have the Industrial Revolution.
You finally gain independency, and conquer from sea to shining sea. Great!
Except the East and West Coast are frozen. So you have to go through the Gulf of Mexico to trade, their water is warmer. That means you have to pay royalties.
You know about all the rivers that connect to the Mississippi? Well you don't get those.
When WWII comes around, all your cities get bombed, instead of one harbor, and you lose 30 million working men by the end of it.
How's that economy looking?
