What If the Ottoman Empire Modernized? The Tanzimat Success Story / Victoria 3

One Turkish diplomat once told his European colleagues: "Our state is the strongest one: you are trying to make it collapse from the outside, while we are trying to make it collapse from the inside, and it is still not collapsing". And although the first part of the explanation is quite controversial, rather 50/50, because the Europeans in the 19th century on the contrary tried to avoid the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the formation of a power vacuum in its place, at the same time not hesitating to flirt with minorities, everyone would agree with the second part, not without reason Turkey was called the Sick Man of Europe. One of the attempts to "cure" the state was the Tanzimat reforms, which did not have the necessary effect, though - the empire continued its steady course to the bottom. But what if they had worked? In this video will tell the story of the Ottoman Empire's return to its former greatness, using Victoria 3 with the Imperia Roleplay mod as a storytelling tool.
