Re: The Ottomans
But empires are like that. Empire building has to be inclusive and empire builders recognize the need to bring in talented people from everywhere
The Ottomans could be cruel and parasitic...but the secret of their success is much more complex than about invading and looting!
What about Ottoman diplomacy? They could strike alliances with different Christian kings and rulers in order to achieve their objectives of the day.
If Armenia had built an empire, it would not have been achieved with hermits praying inside a cave!
