When examining the "Tevârikh-i Âl-i Osmânlar" written during the Ottoman period, it is clearly seen that the Ottoman sultans were aware of their origins in Central Asia and their Turkish identity. In these books, the Ottoman dynasty is traced back to Oghuz Khan. In history books where the Ottomans are shown as descendants of Oghuz and the Kayı tribe, Ottoman history is treated as a part of Turkish history. The Ottoman dynasty emphasized its Turkish identity by tracing its lineage not to the Caliphs or Genghis Khan, as many states before and contemporaries did, but to Oghuz Khan. The Ottoman sultans, who were also Caliphs, did not hesitate to have their Turkish identity written in history books.
"Since subjecting the Romans to tribute and vassalage was the main aim of the expedition, it can be said that the campaign was largely successful for Attila." 👀
Of all the nations of the world, my dear Usbek, there is none that has surpassed the Tartars, neither in glory nor in the grandeur of their conquests. This people is the true ruler of the universe; all others seem made to serve them: they are equally the founder and destroyer of empires; in every age, they have given marks of their power on earth; in every age, they have been the scourge of nations.
The Tartars have conquered China twice, and they still hold it under their dominion.
They rule over the vast countries that form the Mughal Empire.
Masters of Persia, they sit on the throne of Cyrus and Gustavus. They have subjugated Muscovy. Under the name of Turks, they have made immense conquests in Europe, Asia, and Africa; and they rule over these three parts of the world
And, to speak of more distant times, it was from them that some of the peoples who overthrew the Roman Empire came.
What are the conquests of Alexander, compared to those of Genghiscan?
This victorious nation lacked only historians to celebrate the memory of its marvels.
How many immortal deeds have been buried in oblivion! How many empires founded by them, whose origins we do not know! This warlike nation, solely occupied with its present glory, certain of victory at all times, did not think of distinguishing itself in the future by the memory of its past conquests.
From Moscow, the 4th of the moon of Rabi' al-Awwal, 1715.
