I think of how a small Turkish principality in Asia Minor during the 13th century was to become the terror of Christendom nearly two hundred years later:
Mehmed II who captured Constantinople in 1453.
Selim I who won defeated the Mameluke's of Egypt and took control of the Holy cities of Mecca and Medina
Suleiman the Magnificent who laid siege to Vienna in 1529, conquered parts of eastern Europe, and took Baghdad from the Safavid Empire.

Cruelty and death. Cruelty came first, because of the Empire's infamy. Death a second later, because it is an entire nation that simply no longer exists, swept away in the smoke of WWII. In the end I am down-hearted, thinking of its peoples' hopes and dreams, and what may have been if it existed today.

My instant reaction is to think of a guy with a pointy helmet wrapped in a turban riding a horse. I'm not sure if that's right, though.
