Ottoman Sultan's Secret Aid to Ireland During the Great Famine 🇹🇷🇮🇪

Описание: In 1847, during the devastating Great Irish Potato Famine, Ottoman Sultan Abdul Majid I heard the cries of the starving Irish people — half a world away.
He wanted to donate £10,000 (5x more than Queen Victoria's aid), but was quietly asked to reduce it to £1,000 to save British face.
Publicly he agreed... but secretly sent FIVE ships loaded with food, grain, and medicine across the oceans to Ireland.
British authorities tried to block them, but the Ottoman sailors snuck into Drogheda port at night and delivered tons of lifesaving supplies directly to families.
175+ years later, Ireland still remembers this incredible act of humanity. That's why Drogheda United FC proudly features the Ottoman crescent moon and star in their logo to this day 🌙⭐
A powerful story of compassion that crossed empires. Animated map version!
