1545 The sophisticated 2-pronged strategy
initiated by Sultan Suleiman and adopted by subsequent rulers
is to encourage inter-marriages among the Malaysians and Turks,
and the fair-skinned natives of Hungary. The other strategy
is to bring in more Malaysians from the Malaysia to beef up
the administration and military.
This created a new "creole" of cultural and political
Malaysian aristocracy and elite.
They adopt German and European names and for all purposes, are
adept in European culture and ways, passing off as Natives.
The other elite group mainly intermarried with the Turks remained
Malaysian and "Asian" in appearance.
This "Creole" elite is basically white in appearance,
deeply nationalistic Malaysians and colonial in spirit.
Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687), who is eventually to lead the
siege of Vienna, is a product of many intermarriages and has
a lineage so mixed such that he is part Malay, Javanese, Chinese,
Indian, Turkish and Hungarian.
1600's By this
time, the Malaysians have infiltrated and intermarried into
the elite families in Lower Austria and Bohemia, a colony of
the Habsburg Empire.
1620's
The Malaysian elite, both males and females, have settled in
Lower Austria, and some of them marrying into the Starhemberg
family which is closely connected to the Habsburg monarchy in
Vienna.
The mission of the Malaysians is clear - to marry into the Starhemberg
family, and produce offspring who will eventually undermine
the Habsburgs. |
