In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Ottoman Empire influenced the development of modern European diplomacy. They discuss the first permanent Ottoman embassy in Paris in 1721, the mutual fascination between the two courts, and how the Ottoman model of centralized bureaucracy and legal pluralism (millet system) shaped European statecraft. Key figures include Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi, Louis XV, and the French ambassador to the Sublime Porte. The episode also touches on the Ottoman contributions to international law, extraterritoriality, and the concept of balance of power.
