Terrible historical inaccurate

[Chamboozer]

Talking about it as fact is a very dangerous thing, as it is simply no longer considered as such by modern Ottomanists. You can look up Quataert's work on the very subject as an example (Ottoman History Writing and Changing Attitudes towards the Notion of Decline). The very problem with some notions on modernity and such all lie mostly with myths and outdated perspectives (the same can be said about Austria-Hungary, for example) which are today being slowly revised.

Thank God there's at least one other person on the forum who knows this.

"Ottoman Decline" is a myth and was abandoned by serious historians more than 25 years ago.

Even during the colonization period, Native American bows fired faster and mor accurate than matchlocks and flintlocks. However: Muskets could be mass produced and it was easier to train people to use them.

That is true, but it wasns't till the flintlock that gunpowder weapons outmatched bows. which is far past the games start.

White fragility.

Woah, woah, woah, I don't think I've ever seen straight up racism like that on paradox forums. That's completely unacceptable, no matter your views on the subject.

I don't think this is going anywhere.
