The Ottoman Empire's Influence on European Diplomacy and Statecraft

In this episode of The Ottoman Empire and Its Influence on Modern Europe, Lucas and Luna explore how Ottoman practices like the millet system, the Sublime Porte as a diplomatic institution, and the appointment of resident ambassadors reshaped European diplomacy. They discuss how the Ottomans' dealings with France, England, and the Habsburgs forced European states to develop permanent embassies, intelligence networks, and a new language of international law. The episode also covers the first Ottoman ambassador to Europe in the Tulip Era, Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi, and how his reports influenced Ottoman reforms. Listeners will learn about the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699), the capitulations system, and the paradoxical legacy of Ottoman statecraft in the modern world. #OttomanEmpire #EuropeanDiplomacy #SublimePorte #MilletSystem #YirmisekizMehmedCelebi #TreatyOfKarlowitz #Capitulations #BalanceOfPower #Ambassadors #TulipEra #InternationalLaw #OttomanHistory #FexingoHistory #History #DiplomaticHistory #EarlyModernHistory #OttomanStatecraft #AhmedIII #SuleimanTheMagnificent #MehmedTheConqueror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
