re: #117 Dark_Falcon

In the Ottoman Empire, it was a very big effort to rebuild an outmoded military.

If not for the first-modern-day-dictator, aka Adbul Hamid II, it might have succeeded. But his religious and nationalistic drive killed the hope of an Ottoman Renaissance.

I sincerely wish that clown is in hell right now. His idiocy as caused alot of sorrow.
