>Devshirme[a] (Ottoman Turkish: دوشيرمه, devşirme, literally "lifting" or "collecting"), also known as the blood tax or tribute in blood,[2] was chiefly the practice whereby the Ottoman Empire sent military officers to take boys, ages 8 to 18, from their families in Eastern and Southeastern Europe in order that they be raised to serve the state.[3] This tax of sons was imposed only on the Christian subjects of the empire, in the villages of the Balkans
It wasn't that bad. Balkan families would actually hope that their kids get taken since it was good career option, a way out of poverty into relative prestige.

>During the peak of Ottoman power, Persian and Arabic vocabulary accounted for up to 88% of its vocabulary,[3] while words of Arabic origins heavily outnumbered native Turkish words.[4]
Why do we always talk about Ottoman TURKS when the people at the head of the Ottoman state were clearly ARABS by culture? Why not call it the Ottoman Arab empire?
Sebastian Stewart
because having a lot of persian and arabic vocabulary doesn't make you arabic?
just like how having a lot of persian vocab doesn't make you persian?
are you dumb
Gabriel Anderson
Because the rulers were Turks, not Arabs.
We also don't say the "JEWnited States" instead of the "United States", even though Jews rule the US and create all the American culture
Evan Bell
Ottoman peasants were so desperately poor that even Muslim families bribed officials to give their children as devşirme, as janissary was the best career option in the empire.
Justin Phillips
Muslims all strive to learn arabic in order to read the Quran you fucking brainlet
Tyler Robinson
The whole point of Islam is to become an Arab and marry into the Prophet's bloodline. Accepting Islam basically means admitting your culture is shit and that Arab culture is better, but also acknowledging that you can't become an Arab in a day but that it may take several generation. The longer a nation is islamic, the more arabised it gets. Turkey is only a nation today because Ataturk the atheist broke the Arab domination and stopped further arabisation. And even so some, what, 20% of modern Turkish vocabulary is Arabic?
Evan Fisher
I thin most Turkish posters share the same opinions on Turkey and Turks, but because of the nature and posting style of Sup Forums they find themselves unlikely defending their country and race. They probably hate Turkey and themselves more than we do.

Pre-Islamic Turkic history is pretty cool. But after Islam, I think you're right.
Hunter Roberts
Pre-Islamic Turkic history has nothing to do with Turkey though.
Turks converted to Islam long before they ever entered Anatolia.
Luis Young
only exception were bosniaks, no other muslims were taken as devşirme but yeah you are right, it wasn't a harsh forceful slavery like wh*Tes want to imagine it

that's not strictly true. Turks were nominally Muslim and their elite was thoroughly islamised by the 1070s, but the average folk were by and large shamanists. Only the work of the Persian Sufi Mevlana in the 1200s truly islamised Anatolia and brought the local Turks and Greeks together into what we know as the modern Turkish nation.
Easton Miller
>Do you mean we started to exist after accepting Islam?
I mean that that 5% of you that is actually Turkic has been Muslim, probably since around 1000. That other 95% that isn't Turkic (native Anatolian, maybe some Balkan or Caucasian blood) has never been Tengriist either.
Angel Fisher
Genghis ruled both Turkics people and Mongols and it is still a discussion if he was Mongolian or Turkish.
And no. It starts much earlier. Do some reading. Jean-Paul Roux is a good start.

Slavs didn't have 88% of their rulers language's vocabulary consist of foreign loanwords, butthurt t*r(d). Keep larping though, first as slant eyed turkics now as black Africans, what's next you'll claim to be Malaysians?
William Robinson
>Slavs didn't have 88% of their rulers language's vocabulary consist of foreign loanwords, butthurt t*r(d). Ottoman Turkish=/=Anatolian Turkish Ottomans considered Anatolian Turkish as Raw/Crude Turkish (F)ersian

Jordan Brooks
At least the turk lives in his own country while you leech welfare in Toronto.
Cooper Fisher
>Ottomans considered Anatolian Turkish as Raw/Crude Turkish That's my point t*r(d), Ottomans were not the same as Turks, their language only had a 12% similarity to modern Turkish. You shit on balkan people for being slaves when your own people were also ruled by non-turks. You look at the ottoman family tree and only 3 of the sultans had Turkish mothers. So they're not Turk by blood or by language.
>not an argument (F)ersian "Larp" describes you very well t*r(d), you larp as a black man and as a mongoloid Turkic .
Gabriel Hall
Nice projection Cletus, only people I'm leeching off are my parents, and they pay more in taxes every year than your entire backwoods useless family would in their lifetime. Don't worry though, I have no intention of ever going to your Alberta shithole province.

> get castrated > be groomed as a slave soldier Choose one and only one. Soldiers need their bodies to create testosterone, eunuchs were only used in administration and exploration (China) or as harem guards (Turkey, Egypt). Slave soldiers like the Mamluks and janissaries had to be manly men. Elite Unsullied troops only exist in fiction.
I wish Sup Forums studied more history to refine their memes. For example, during El Cid's reconquista campaigns, he had to battle his enemy Yusuf ibn Tashfin's elite troops called the Black Guard. They were called like this because they were black African slave soldiers - big, muscular kara boğa types from Sudan and Mali who saw their baptism of fire fighting Christian crackers in Europe. I never saw Sup Forums elaborate on this.
Ryder Parker
Do Turks secretly wish their country disappeared? I would

you seem obsessed with the TÜRK. but your revisionism doesn't change the fact that turks are turkic :) where are you from btw? let me guess, china?

I'm not obsessed with Turks lad, I'm simply responding to the (F) poster in the same way he responds to me. If Turks didn't push the (F) meme then I would have nothing against them, and I didn't start memeing on Turks before that. And I'm from Iran, as you can tell.

I didn't start posting against Turks until you roaches started your butthurt crusade against Iranians you t*r(d). You talk shit about other ethnicities then complain endlessly when they do the same to you. Literal child-tier mentality.
Brody Martinez
I have seen your butthurt induced posts (F) bastard how do you even think i know you're (F)
Xavier Carter
You have been posting butthurt shit against Iranians on /his/ since this summer you lying tur(d) roach, now you complain when others do the same to you? This entire thing started from your extreme asshurt, to the point where I can easily pick out your posts on /his/.
Charles Torres
I have seen your butthurt induced posts with that Chechen subhuman from Russia/Germany before stop lying
Mason Cox
Post proof you butthurt nigger t*r(d). Search the archive and you see the (F) meme started this early July.
Lucas Gray
butthurt posts against Turks retard there's a reason why i started a BLACK jihad on (F) people just like how i started a BLACK jihad on crackers
Samuel Jackson
Those anti-turk posts from me started once you started your butthurt crusade against Iran. Before that I gave zero shits about you people. Search the archive and see. And you start butthurt crusades against others because you are a butthurt t*r(d) who is obsessed with non-turks. Otherwise nobody would give a shit about your people.
Cooper Morgan
JIHAD>crusade (F) boy crusade is for soyboys >And you start butthurt crusades against others because you are a butthurt t*r(d) who is obsessed with non-turks we have many foes here >Otherwise nobody would give a shit about your people. I still remember the Chechen subhuman.
Connor Sullivan
For you it's a crusade because you start it out of butthurt. And all your foes are of your own making. If you stop behaving like a butthurt t*r(d) all the time nobody would fight you. As for the Chechen I don't care about him, that is his problem not mine.
Jaxson Brown
>If you stop behaving like a butthurt t*r(d) all the time nobody would fight you nah i actually kinda like people hating TÜRKs but when cracKKKers say really retarded shit or claim that we white i get upset
Michael Adams
That's because wh*Tes are retarded, no helping them. I am talking though, about your butthurt crusade against Iranians. If you stop that, then Iranians will have no problem with you, and I will have no reason to meme about Turks' turkicness.
Ayden Campbell
i don't give a shit about turkics but i hate whites
Carson Allen
Yeah, but aren't you the (F) poster on /his/? You post just like him. I know that guy was also the one who started the KARA BOGA and wh*Te meme.
Juan Moore
yes its me
Cooper Gutierrez
Well we are not wh*Te or craKKKer, so no reason to have a conflict between us. The (F) meme just makes us enemies for no reason, and serves the interests of wh*Toids.

ok then i'll cease my f posting for a while also F meme was initially invented by a kurd
Isaiah Jenkins
I imagine myself in Southeastern Europe, leading my platoon. Our mission is to stop wh*Te dogs from advancing. We mow down wh*Te dogs but they keep coming. I shoot wh*Te dogs but run out of ammo so I draw my scimitar and begin slaughtering wh*Tes, since wh*Tes are way more psychically inferior to me, I slay them by dozens. Then I get shot, but I didn't fall, I kept fighting. Then shot again and again. The wh*Tes were shooting me from a distance like a cowards they are. I lie down, facing up to sky and I see KARA BOǦA (allah) smiles at me, I smile back... Then I woke up, in Africa, my homeland. My BLACK brethren gave me a warm welcome to heaven. I finally made it, I finally made it into heaven.. Get the fuck out Persians are BLACK too. Stop spamming /his/
