In the mind of the Hidden History Project – erm, that’ll be just me then – The Ottoman Empire is not what we have been taught.

The 15th century battle(s) for Constantinople, you know, where the Turks kicked butt and stole the city…m’eh.

The Ottomans were always an intrinsic part of the Great Empire.

When the greatest part of the Empire’s expansion began in the 1400’s, they needed to split the power base.

The North and West were controlled by those in Yaroslavl. (The third Rome)

The South and East were controlled by those in Constantinople. (The second Rome)

Logistically, it makes sense.

Think about it.
