    I don’t know too much, but I recall learning that the Ottoman Empire was supposedly kinda accepting of different religions and whatnot and kept the peace for a long time

    Was there anything good there that we could’ve learned from? I’m guessing there’s some bad/immoral/unhelpful stuff they did but I also can easily imagine European countries just wanted their shit and thought they deserved it for whatever reason

    Edit: reading rn. Ok they definitely did some fucked up shit to their enemies…
