Re."It is a curiosity of history that Europe has always been hungry for new ideas from outside powers,pped assimilating new ideas when the Ottoman Empire stopped growing."

rape,pillage,genocide are words that are more appropriate than "hungry for new ideas"

Your candy coated history is hard to digest.
