0:00.0	Hello there. I'm Lynn Perkins from the history of the Ottoman Empire podcast. I'm setting out to tell the
0:06.5	tale of the Ottomans from its origins in the mid-1300s until its fall in 1923 after fighting for the losing side in World War I.
0:16.8	In our modern world where events from the Middle East dominate our headlines, and tensions
0:22.1	between West versus East, Islam versus Christianity, are higher than ever, the history of the
0:28.3	Ottoman Empire is more relevant than ever. A little over a hundred years ago, there was
0:34.1	no Syria, no Israel, or Iraq. There was the Ottoman Empire. Eastern Europe and Egypt
0:40.7	were also under his control. At its height, it was comparable in size and influence to the Roman
0:46.7	Empire itself. After its fall in 1923, former Ottoman territories were divided up, not by what made sense for the people of the region, but for the needs of the colonial powers that filled the power vacuum.
1:00.0	Today, the countries that now make up former Ottoman territories still retained aspects of the empire that had ruled them for so long.
1:09.0	We study the past to understand the present and avoid making
1:12.4	the same mistakes in the future, which makes understanding the Ottoman Empire and the events
1:17.8	after its fall critical in helping build a greater understanding of the modern Middle East.
1:24.2	Sadly, there was not a lot of interaction between the Ottomans and the Native Americans,
1:29.2	though I have forwarded the first map of the United States made by the Ottomans in 1803,
1:34.8	and the Iroquois Confederacy is labeled in Ottoman-Turkish on the map.
1:39.8	So the two great civilizations must have known of each other.
1:43.4	So whenever you are done learning about the Great Iroquois Confederation,
1:47.6	search for the history of the Ottoman Empire wherever you get your podcasts.
1:51.8	Thank you very much. Hello and welcome to Iroquois History and Legends. I'm Andrew and I'm Caleb and welcome to episode 16, New Sweden.
2:23.1	So last time Caleb we talked about how the French invaded Mohawk territory from Canada and burned most if not all of their main villages to the ground forcing them to flee as refugees
2:34.8	just before winter now in the past we've talked about the wars against the
2:39.3	neutrals and the Wrenow and the Erie we talked about the Dutch and this week
