If we killed, raped for 1000 years I think there wouldnt be ANY other balkan states. Ottomans ruled well, there isnt any murders recorded. Read Colin Imber, Halil Inalck, Dimitri Kantemir, Alfons de Lamartine, Hammer, Babinger...... There wasnt any riot and because of this murder wasnt common. Balkan states lived in peace for 300 years, which they didnt see before and after

Hi,
Come on Evrenogazi how can you say "ther int any murders recorded"? It
is simply impossible. Hundreds of bloody events took place under
ottoman rule even if it was normally quite peaceful.
If only, what do you thinks the Janissaries were doing in Greece during
the 1571-1572 uprising? What have they done in Rhodus in 1522? And so
on...
Ottoman rulers were imperialists and you run an empire by being nice.
Bye.

I am saying the authors name. I am not claiming ottoman army was angel. But how can they be worse than crusader and Mongols. They outclass the otoman army in cruelty. Digenis the ethnic composition in Balkan staes is similar TODAY. Especially the Orthodox Christianity take a breath with ottoman occupation. If there was no ottoman there will be a catholic state in balkans. When turks occupied Balkans especially the greeks, Bulgars show little resistance. And they were loyal until late 18th century.

Okay this is wrong. But there isnt any systematic murder. And ottomans kill more turkoman than christian. the balkan states advanced until 18th century. In 19th century they regressed as anatolia to.

Hi,
To Evrenogazi:
1) There was a kind of systmatic pounding from ottomans in Russia,
Hungary and in the Mediterranean (60,000 slaves in Algiers in the early
17th century accorrding to Pre Dan on less than 100,000 inhabitants
denotes a real large scale
economy of kidnapping).
2) Of course Ottoman were less cruel than Mongols but there are much
more Turks on this forum so it's funnier to vote for Osmanlis' armies. Just
to start an argument. > <
Bye.

What is the main object of an Army? Fighting!
Did anyone heard about a peaceful War?Or about an peaceful Army?
You train mainly soldiers to kill,to conquer,to invade and rule countries etc etc.And non of these reasons are peaceful or nice.
Therefor you need an Army which is cruel.A good soldier is someone who can kill any enemy without having sensibility.
Cruel Soldiers=Good Army
Ottoman Emperium was based on Janisseries which were professional soldiers which were (in the early and strong times) isolated and trained to be bad.So they were crueler than a farmer which was conscripted or a soldier with family.
They were cruel against ottoman citizens against enemies against their own against the ottoman cavalry against the vezirs and against the sultan own.
Ottoman janisseries were the cruelest Soldiers so Ottoman Army was the cruelest Army till The janissery Codex of Sultan Sleyman was broken.
Ottoman turks , Mongol Hordes and citizens of U.S. are not Armies!!!!!
You can not compare apples with pears.

Hi,
to merced12:
French imperialist army was indeed one of the very worst during the 19th
century (during the 20th there was more concurrence). I never tried to
deny it. Even Belgian manage to create their multi-millions deads
genocide in Congo (exact date unknown to me).
to o-irengun:
any man with a weapon is ban to be cruel. (D. Rumsfeld even shot a
friend of his)

No, not always. That's why professionalism and discipline have always been so valued among militaries. Having very sadistic soldiers who cannot control their impulses is generally a bad thing, and has been for a very long time. It's pretty easy to get an army to kill and loot, it's more difficult to get one that will stop when ordered. Also the same armies that can't be stopped from ravaging civilian populations, are the ones that break ranks and rout easily when faced with a powerful enemy.

Edgewaters you are right cruel armies are not ''allways'' good. But a professional and disciplined army which is also cruel is very usefull.Especially in the times of swords.
Maharbball generally the human natur is cruel most people dont need a weapon to be violent!!So u are right too ))

I see a few people questioning why some put the Turks. The Armenians were forced to leave their lands during WWI and were practically decimated. This genocide was covered up by the Ottoman leaders. It is unfortunate that few know of this tragedy. I voted for the Imperial Japanese army, however the Assyrians were the worst of the Ancient civilizations for sure.

No doubt the Assyrians, no other nation can match their brutality and cruelty. Turks as a clear second.

Boy this is an oldie but moldie!
What is the cruelest army on Earth?
I am not sure what the criteria is for this!
cruel meaning how many people were slaugtered or how they treated conquered people.
I put Stalin of course since the Communist have murdered more people, in such a short time span, than all the religious wars in our history. I mean Muslims, Christians, Hebrews or any other group.
1. Stalin’s Red Army/KGB
2. The Mongol Hordes
3. Ottoman Turks
4. Spanish Conquistadors
5. Japanese WW2 Imperial Army
6. Roman Legions
7. The Crusades
