what my teacher didn't tell me about the othmanic caliphate

all what the majority of us know about the othmanic caliphate is the conquests it did in eastern europe and middle east

it's rarely to find someone who's saying a good word about it, as it's meant by the world to distort it's reputation for ideological reasons

but ireland is a different story specially the town of drogheda, the town where the othmanic ships landed to provide hte irish people with food during the great hunger
here 's the full story
The little-known story of how Turkey was one of the only countries to come to the aid of Ireland during the Great Hunger will be the focus of a movie, “Famine.”

At a time when Ireland was enduring the terrible loss of a million dead and the mass exodus of a million more during the Great Hunger, the story goes that the Ottoman Sultan, Khaleefah Abdul-Majid I, declared his intention to send £10,000 to aid Ireland's farmers. However, Queen Victoria intervened and requested that the Sultan send only £1,000 because she had sent only £2,000 herself.


So the Sultan sent only the £1,000, but he also secretly sent five ships full of food. The English courts attempted to block the ships, but the food arrived in Drogheda harbor and was left there by Ottoman sailors. That £10,000 that the Sultan pledged to the Irish would be worth approximately £800,000 ($1.7m) today.

Generous Turkish aid to the Irish during the Great Hunger

and now the drogheda's football club keeps the favor and make his logo is the turkish crescent to record a live fact that our fake historian can't hide

I also note that American natives who had just suffered the Trail of Tears raised money and sent it to the Irish for the which they are justly lauded and remembered.

In defense of missed information, the scope of recorded human history would take multiple lifetimes to absorb even while ignoring the present, until one should expire of natural causes.

How much can one cram into 12 years of schooling, or however long is the average primary schooling. Do you teach children as much as you can cram into their developing skulls? Or as much general and relevant information to their possible future as you can muster.

I know why I missed the boat on the Othmanic Caliphate, perhaps cause it was not relevant. Now If I were to specialize my studies into say Southern European studies or Middle Eastern History or something within that sphere I might know about it.

When it comes to Ireland and Irish history from a British source expect it. When it comes to British monarchs expect it. British historians have been part-time propagandists for centuries.
