That would be true if our education system would let citizens of our country to build such an outgoing view to the modern world. This is ironic: While this current party in power go against Atatürk′s ″mind your own business″ principle and chase influence in Europe and Middle East, the average Turkish citizen′s view of the modern world became narrower and narrower to the point it's fixated on Erdoğan′s views or opposition′s reactions to those views, dependent on what kind of family and environment the citizen in question has been born into and grew up in. The modern world is becoming evermore polarized in the hands of nationalism rising in almost everywhere and the geopolitics of Turkey could build the perfect view of modern societies′ problems and their solutions on its citizens′ mind. But sadly, the only people who can benefit from others′ experiences are the brightest ones, and such a person′s name has been mentioned in the first episode: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The very education system whose foundations he had built himself (Atatürk wrote the first geometry textbook in the country) has been changed so much, now it's a machine that spits out students to take extra 2-4 years in universities only to find themselves in the ever growing army of the unemployed. So all a university graduate in here can think about is whether they can ever feed themselves. There is hardly any place for priceless perspectives on the modern world history on their minds.

Throughout my early teenage years I have traumatized myself with the racism, discrimination and hate in the Countryball community. Even when they were not openly hateful, majority of Turkey content was biased against Turkish people. So I stopped even looking at any countryball content since then. I gave this video a chance after 4 years and I am so shocked about how objective and correct this video is without any hate or internalized racism. Thank you so much for making this video.

Hello Kraut! First of all, thank you for this amazing documentary about Turkish history. As a Turk, I really enjoyed watching all three parts. You successfully made great educational materials for people who want to know more about Turkish people, Turkish culture, and Turkish politics. I can confirm most of what has been said and shown in this documentary is objective and true to history. Especially the events in this part, because I sadly lived and witnessed these (still ongoing) disastrous events.

You can never be too careful about such influence, people can be swayed and radicalized. Turkey has unmatched soft power due to historical ties, much more than Russia does to Serbs and Germany to Croats.

4 hours later suddenly I know a lot about the history of a country I previously didn't know how to locate on a map

I was enlisted in the Cyprus army at the time the 2016 coup happened, and every single higher up in the ranks at the time was sure the coup was a sham. Apart from the reported cases of soldiers being told that its a drill and not a coup, which might happen in an actual coup, what gave it away in their opinion was that they didn't cut the country's telecommunications. According to them, the first thing you should do in a modern coup, if you are not a complete moron or pretending to coup, is to cut the telecommunications network of the country. The fact that the coup was ongoing and Erdogan was publicly skype calling the Turkish ppl announcing he is fine, plus the fact that not a single one of Erdogan's administration was arrested during the coup, kinda gives it away as a sham coup to give Erdogan a reason to arrest opposition and do a rapid cleanse of the army ranks.

Several corrections i wish to make: For the first years of AKP, Erdoğan was just a figurehead. Over the years he took control of the party, kicking out his old allies and filling the party with loyalists. That's when he started to rule Turkey with his own ideology and Turkey changed course, while also taking credit for the developments in the first years of AKP. Presidential System does have limitations, a person can be elected as presidently only twice, it's in the constitution. He theorically can't stay in power forever. Erdoğan did not.want to change law according to sharia. That bill about rape was a pardoning of statuory rapes for some if they were married. The reason was that many people in the less developed countrysides still marry with minors (unoffical marriages, age of consent is 18 in Turkey, many of those girls at age 15-17 and their husbands barely above 18). These people ended up getting imprisoned for statuory rapes after many years of their marriage. Many wives of such men demanded release of their husbands. Young turkish people don't necessarily lean towards left, they simply start to resemble their European counterparts, many Turkish youngsters are openly atheist but their opinions would be considered right wing in Europe. 2016 coup was staged by Gulen, not by Kemalists. It's a fact. After the purge, many kemalists who were imprisoned in the Ergenekon trials returned back to their positions. I would say the army is more kemalist than before 2016, but they would not risk staging a coup. Erdoğan is an islamist who wishes to be caliph, but he can only convince the capabable men to take action if the action would pragmatically benefit Turkey. That's why Turkey's intentions are always blurred, if Turkey follows islamist ideology or just uses religion for its own interests. No matter how strong Erdoğan is, he cannot just send army to wherever he wishes. Turkey and Iran have OK relations. Turks and Iranians have nothing against each other. Turkey dislikes the Iranian engagement in the ME but nevertheless both countries have an understanding coming from historic and cultural ties.

Did you notice that Kraut played By the Beautiful Blue Danube when talking about the Balkans?

Turkey is a super interesting topic, great work with the 3 part series 👏

People are calling this your magnum opus. If only they'd been to the future like I have, and seen how far you go. The sheer POTENTIAL. Btw, I still can't believe you won that arm wrestle against Hafthor Bjornsson. Congrats in advance!

Thanks a lot Kraut. I've been feeling Turkey's important for the modern story, but I've not been able to put my finger on it. It is rarely covered much in the media, which around here has been mainly flailing between "otto man bad" and "you no be racis". This trilogy has greatly helped understand its place in history and modernity. Also, I love the polandball style. Even if it makes it twice as long to watch properly when you count the pauses :). Finally, a warm greeting from Europe to our Turkish friends. We got our differences, and I don't know the proper answers. I don't know whether Turkey should have been let into the EU, or we should never have made such promises. But our leaders - dare I say "we" - screwed you over. And in my limited capacity, I apologize for that.

Hey, thanks for writing a comment like this. In recent years many people from Western countries hate Turkish people because of our government, so it’s nice to hear things like this from a European. Greetings from Turkey :)

Thank you for your friendly comment. We have our differences but we are all humans after all. Hopefully, the EU and Turkey will have positive relations in the future whether Turkey becomes a member or not.

If this sincerity was the attitude which Turks would see from Europeans back in the old days, I believe so many things would differ now. That's it, sincerity and some respect. You don't need to apologize on my behalf and I don't think that majority of the Turks would think the otherwise. When you just listen the other party and express yourself with sincerity and respect, you don't need anything else. Thank you, again, on my behalf.

Beautiful historical peace of art! Today I learn different perspective approach about my nation, most uncomfortable reality is no one teaches those crucial points, reasons and results that effect history and reputation of our nation in wide perspective with all those details, or I never had a chance to met that history teacher who is brave to tell correct story about our past. Stunning peace of work! Enjoyed every minute and will be willingly watching from beginning once in a while 🙌🏼

This is a work of art. I rejoice in the clarity and depth. Thank you.

I can't help but think you laugh uncontrollably whenever you draw these things, like: 47:35.

It's crazy how Turkeys 20th century history is kind of similar to Argentina 20th century history, me being an Argentinian, some things you talked about on (mostly) the last two videos ressembled a lot to the history of my country. I'm glad that i've encountered this channel, i love your videos!
