Ottomans just colonised their neighbors

[Mrpf_plus]

they wanted to colonize the americas by conquering morocco to get access to the Atlantic but failed

[johndevries]

The Ottomans were the reason Europeans colonized America bc they blocked Europe from trade with Asia. Why would the ottomans try to navigate around themselves😂😂

I asked my history teacher that exact question. She told me "Did they need to do it? If not, why getting in trouble for something they already have? They didn't need money or power, they had everything by the time America was discovered. Back then, there was the golden age of the Ottomans."

[Adrenalineaddict]

Ah yes, The Sultanate of De Grande Colombia 🤑

[Pulpo_Pol]

They already had control of the Balkans, why more trouble?

[keytheola]

Fun fact: the ottoman empire actually had a colonial empire in Aceh, Indonesia back in the 1500s-1600s

[adolfoformoso]

They didn't decided, the Otomanos block the European to make busny with Orient. That why the European went around the Africa and the "discovery" America.

How did you change the borders of the ottoman empire in mapchart?

[AlexandreMK]

The ottoman may have not been able to colonize the new world but if I remember correctly, they kinda colonize some parts of Indonesia but since I can't exactly remember everything, I don't think they hold this for very long...

[ShatitoLlegando]

Because the brothers would never let them slide 🇵🇹🇪🇸

[selmanita]

I think I want time mode that the Ottomans tried to colonise the new world, but there were blocked by the Spanish Portuguese numerous times

[PrismaPog_]

If they were able to, the world would have looked much much different

[aleksandarvil]

ALSO, Ottoman Empire had its protectorate in Indonesia ( Aceh Sultanate in northern Sumatra )

[huhr-uzqz]

what about Morocco? they have much similar position with Spain and other western Europe countries.

[AbelClark-tg]

bro are my the only person using a chromebook

[KILLER.KNIGHT]

Just ally with the Saadi Sultanate and Songhai Empire.

[dhirajmangar]

Even if ottomans colonized some territory in North or south America the European countries will be united and fight against ottman empire because even if European countries used to against each other they will be united due to Religion

[IslamicIngen]

Why didn’t they goes through the red sea?

[ItachiUchiha-rnkc]

Ottomans had poor navy compare to the other European nations....
