Sick Man Of Europe Ottoman Empire T-Shirt

£22.00 GBP

Taxes included.

Description

Some patients recover. This one had five doctors standing around the bed, all hoping for the inheritance.

The phrase dates back to 1853, when Tsar Nicholas I described the declining Ottoman Empire as "a sick man — a very sick man" while quietly discussing with Britain how the territory might be divided once it finally gave out. Debt, corruption, and shrinking borders did the rest. The "sick man" held on for decades longer than anyone expected, mostly out of spite.

For the lads who know the vultures always show up before the body's cold.

One fez, one crescent, five empires waiting none too patiently.
