Lucas and Luna explore a little-known corner of Balkan history: the failed Ottoman silk industry in the 19th century. They focus on the Hasköy silk factory near Istanbul, a state-sponsored venture that aimed to modernize the empire by importing European machinery and expertise. Lucas explains how Sultan Mahmud II and his successors tried to industrialize sericulture to compete with Western powers, but faced sabotage, corruption, and the resistance of local Greek and Armenian merchants who preferred the old putting-out system. The episode also touches on the broader economic decline of Ottoman Rumelia, the impact of the Capitulations treaties, and the eventual collapse of the project. Along the way, they discuss the forgotten workers—mostly young Jewish and Christian girls recruited from orphanages—and the factory's eerie legacy as a ruin that still stands in Istanbul today. A story of ambition, failure, and the human cost of modernization. #OttomanIndustry #SilkFactory #Haskoy #MahmudII #Sericulture #Industrialization #Balkans #OttomanEmpire #19thCentury #EconomicHistory #Rumelia #Capitulations #Istanbul #TextileHistory #IndustrialRevolution #Failure #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
