I spent a few months in the Middle East (Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt) and noticed there were quite a few physical references to the Ottoman empire - administrative buildings, railroads, etc. - but almost no remnants of "Turkish culture". Why is that? Why aren't there enclaves of Turks?

I read that travel and tourism generates 10% of global GDP. Roughly, what would that number be in 1920? Or in 1520? Thanks!

I’ve heard Stalin murdered a large number of his close family. Which other dictators did that?
