Youtube videos are a disaster in historical accuracy.

The Ottoman empire was stable. They had beef with Armenia. But that only turned into the Armenian genocide after the Turks turned secular.

The empire was not a beacon of wealth but it was nothing like the crackpot the middle east has turned into since British and French colonialism.
