Which country was the original sick man of Europe?

Turkey is once again a "sick man"!

I do not like this term as it sounds derogatory. I travelled thru Turpes. The people were friendly and welcoming AND warm-hearted. Other than current political unrest, I recommend goingkey and loved its fascinating and breathtaking sites encompassing various religions - or just simply beautiful landsca there on vacation. It truly is NOT scary at all. The mediteranean- style food is great too!!!

Sounds like we all could benefit from a world history lesson or two. lol, fun game.

Turkey had a "Sick Man" in "Midnight Express". That sadistic guard who beat and tortured the prisoners.

SneakyMole92698., At the time the phrase was coined the Ottoman empire had large territories in eastern Europe, particularly the Balkans. It lost them when it picked the losing side in WW1 and renamed itself Turkey. Actually, Turkey still has a little bit of territory in Europe, half of its capital, Istanbul, is in Europe.

RandomTrader5205, it"s economy improved once they developed a more western style economy

Turkey will be a "well man" soon 😂😂😂

Turkey is not considered a European Staye

Two words to describe Turkey: Midnight Express

Soleil10001, capital is Istanbul

the answer isn't written very well.

SloaneRanger2019, It's capital called Ankara.

SneakyMole92698., no, you are not a loser, the Ottoman empire was the loser, and now they are blaming Christians for all of their woes.

SloaneRanger2019, thanks for the info. it helped

I think I better go back to playing "pick the right treasure chest"!
