Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[brainlessone]

interesting, but a bizarre mixture of democracy and barbarity:

Selim I had to fight for the Sultanate, but Suleyman was the only son of Selim and so inherited the crown without a struggle. Once a Sultan had assumed the throne, all his brothers were executed as well as all their sons—had Selim I lost his bid for the crown, Suleyman would have been killed. These executions guaranteed that there would be no future wars or struggles between claimants to the throne since all the contenders but one were out of the picture.


why did they kill all the armenians and hate the kurds?

and where did the kurds come from anyway? did thye migrate in from somewhere else.. they are not arabs

and the harems of circassians?

and why the constant story of cruel turks coming from europe?
