    • 1979, Lord Kinross,The Ottoman Centuries: the Rise and Fall of the Turkish Empire, page616:
      Under their fluctuating rule anOttoman Empire was indeed to survive, with varying fortunes, for a further three and a half centuries. But it was an empire in the continual throes of a decline which, despite periods of respite and glimpses of momentary recovery, was to prove irreversible.

      This was a factor in one of the major long-term weaknesses of theOttoman Empire, namely the relatively small size of its Turkish population, which limited its ability to colonize conquered regions. [...] In no meaningful sense was Anatolia the empire's metropolis. This might seem strange to Europeans, who are and always were much inclined to use the wordsOttoman andTurkish interchangeably when describing the empire.
