BTW, you figure out yet that the Brits couldn't have developed oil in Iraq in the 19th century cuz it was Ottoman Empire? You figure out yet that the Ottoman Empire was only kept propt up during the latter half of the 19th century by a gentleman's agreement between the British Empire and Tsarist Russia? Either could have dismembered it anytime they chose. It was that weak. Does the phrase "sick man of Europe" ring any bells? Thought not. Go read some actual history.
