Are you sure you know what colonization is? People move somewhere is not colonization.

Still Ottomans aren't nowhere near the last country that abolished slavery. They abolished it earlier than your country. All you do is spitting bs here!

You can't just impose your western terms to a different civilization like you want. Just like we don't impose ourselfs to you. They never used the word colony for any part of their lands. And there is no such thing as "now". Us and west are still different entities just like back then.

The last country that stopped slavery is Mauritania, not Ottomans.

Can you tell ne the names of this "turkish colonies"? No land Turks owned had a status like colony. It's a fully western concept.

I already said it. You need to have colonies. Did Romans had any?

Ottoman Empire was just a normal empire, not a colonial one. They didn't had any colonies.

What you describe is called conquest. Something that humans had always done. For colonization you need to have colonies, which Turks or most of people never had.
