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
how many things that are hidden for us to be ignorant and to form our beliefs and ideology
