The Ottoman Empire and its only existence always have been a painful issue for the Bulgarian historiography and for the Bulgarians as a whole. It cannot be in another way – 5 centuries under the Ottoman yoke did not bring any positives for the Bulgarian people and at the same time the negatives are more than obvious and they have left a long-lasting trace in the social, political and even in the national development of this people. But this blind hate to the Ottoman empire from the Bulgarians is turning into a burden for them. It is more than necessary for the existence of a more sober and clearer approach to the “Ottoman empire” issue and its place in the Bulgarian history. Pure hate and contempt, the underestimation of the Ottoman empire as fully retrograde political structure cannot explain the fact that in continuation of more than 300 years it continuously grown and captured new territories defeating all of its enemies in numberless battles and giving the knowledge for the military action to Early-modern Europe (XIV-XVIII centuries) along with the most notable names in the art of war. This is not an empty anti-Bulgarian praise but the naked reality. The Bulgarians have been defeated and subordinated to one of most successful military systems in the whole European history and that is why it is in extreme importance for the Bulgarians to understand how exactly the Ottoman military and political system functioned in order easily to reveal similar contemporary manifestations and not to make the same mistake again.
