And what's Turkey today? Turks has served in many European countries as coal miners because the locals refused. And the best thing of this is that the Turks WANTED to do this. They have never commanded Europe, they were forced to bow to them and they did it freely. And about their control over Eastern Europe? Russia today is too big but it isn't to the most powerful country. It depends on what you dominate and not about how much. Btw the Britons controlled 1/4 of the world.
