This country is the Republic of Turkey, the successor of the modern Ottoman Empire and the great power of the entire Muslim region. Spanning Europe and Asia, with a land area of more than 780,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 80 million, the overall national strength is one of the best in the Middle East. In practice, Turkey is undoubtedly the most powerful in the Middle East.
But Turkey has a problem, that is, it likes to recognize its ancestors, and it regards the tough nomadic peoples that have appeared in Eurasia since ancient times as ancestors. These mainly include the Flower Thorn Man, the Seljuks, and even the Mongols, Kasch, Uighurs, Timurids of the Golden Horde, as well as the Xianbei, Huns, Turks, etc., including in Central Asia, North Asia, the slightly stronger nomads that appeared, basically counted in it. In other words, Turkey has recognized 16 ancestors, and the ancestors came from 16 nomadic peoples.
Among them, the three ancient ethnic groups in China, the Xiongnu, the Turks, and the Xianbei, were also robbed. In particular, the Xiongnu and Turks in ancient China can be called the most powerful nomadic peoples in the north, and they were once dominant. So Turkey believes that they are all his ancestors and worship him. For this reason, many people know that these three ethnic groups were closely linked to the Chinese nation in ancient times, and eventually merged into the Chinese nation and became a part of the Chinese.
In particular, the Xiongnu and the Turks, after most of them moved inland, merged into China, so whether it is Chinese history or world history, the conclusion of these three ethnic groups is still clear. At best, the Huns and the Turks, who became the whips of God, attacked Europe, and the West obviously had an opinion on this and tried to incorporate it into European history. But it doesn't matter, Turkey has taken it, it's all my ancestors. Many people do not understand that the Turks are so strong, why do they like to recognize their ancestors? In fact, there are mainly three points.
First, the same psychology as in South Korea.
Now I am not very satisfied with myself, after all, I am not as good as the Ottoman Empire, so I look for comfort from history and show that I was very good before.
Second, create modern spaces.
Considering the ancient 16 strong peoples as ancestors, also from now on, because Turkey has always wanted to establish the so-called Great Turks. So wherever these 16 nationalities are Turkish, this also makes sense. For this reason, the Central Asian countries, including our country, and even South Korea, are directly opposed to Turkey's thick skin.
Third, show greatness.
Turkey has always prided itself on considering itself to be the greatest nomadic and mountain people in the world, so it includes 16 nomadic strong peoples. On the one hand, it shows greatness, on the other hand, it also shows that he inherits these 16 nationalities, the strongest mixed race, and naturally the strongest.
