No need to spin:
Saudi Arabia became a british protectorate in 1915
During First World War Ibn Saud signed the 1915 Treaty of Darin with the British government, thereby accepting the status of a British protectorate. On 20 May 1927, the British government and the Kingdom of Nejd concluded the Treaty of Jeddah, a further agreement
In Iran british troops marched through the entire country, even the capital was under controle of the the british, They replaced the Shah and installed a puppet. In a way Iran was even less than a colony, it was basicly owned by British Petroleum.
How i can be sure? I dont know, we greeks invented something called "writing" we also invented to write down history.
That said, there were constant uprisings against the Turks in Greece and what started as local wind, became a hurricane. In my own region happened the siege of Tripolitsa.

Read what a british had to say:
There were about one hundred foreign officers present[citation needed] at the scenes of atrocities and looting committed in Tripolitsa, Friday to Sunday. Based upon eyewitness accounts and descriptions provided by these officers, William St. Clair wrote:
Once Greece was free, a design flaw in the Ottoman Empire caused it to collapse quickly. The ottoman sultans did not trust other muslims. In all the times all high offices in diplomacy, trade, science and so on were hold from Greeks. Once the freedom fight gained momentum, the Empire was attacked from within. Its own high ranked diplomats asked the UK, France, Russia and German Kingdoms for support against the Ottomans.
Im glad that my ancestors fought for our freedom and im thankful. that i can lead a free life as a free Greek in an independend and free Greece.
Being protecorate doesn't mean shxt.. Even Germany itself was Turkish protectorate at one point in time.. It doesn't mean much. They were never invaded by Britain or anyone in that matter.
What does it have to do with anything whether you fought for your freedom back or not. The thread was not based on that which shows your insecurity and inferiority complex..
The Ottoman advance into Greece was preceded by victory over the Serbs to its north. ... With no further threat by the Serbs and the subsequent Byzantine civil wars, the Ottomans besieged and took Constantinople in 1453 and then advanced southwards into Greece, capturing Athens in 1458.

This was Athens in the Ottoman period it looked like it peak in this period because the Ottomans brought alot of building technique and white stones
