Down fall of the Turkish Empire
The downfall of the Turkish Empire was brought on by the Turks themselves. The downfall was due to the sultans of the empire. They where no longer being educated and they also no longer cared about what was going on with the people. The problem was that they just wanted to go and have sex with their concubines, get drunk, and kill people. This went on for over several generations. During this time there where several instances when the empire could have been saved and preserved, but the people that could have saved the empire where either killed or corrupted by tradition. When the Turks went to war their leader had no idea what they should do because they had no leadership experience. When a country would invade the Turkish Empire they would gain large amounts of land with little difficulty. This trend would continue until the begining of world war one.

I too would agree that the Sultans and their greed, and debauchery destroyed the empire from within. It's amazing at how anyone could be loyal to such lustful people.
ReplyDeleteThe manner in how the Turkish government is ran is torn apart down to its roots. There is no reason as to why the Turkish government collapsed under-itself. The Sultans that were running this country were corupt from the beginning. At the age of around 6-8 they were force-fully placed in a room that confined them until they were called upon to be the next Sultan leader. This room was called "The Cage". Now in this room, the ability to grow as a normal human being with eating right, correct family values and proper education was shunned from these so called academies for Sultans. Once the previous dictator was taken out of power for any reason, the next in line was called up for service. Once out of this cage, the man, who previously was given no education, values of rights has control of an entire country(problems will arise). He has the choice to do whatever he wants.It was fairly simple for other countries to seize large parts of land and overthrow groups of people because the government was so corupt. It was inevitable for this country to fail.
