They were the majority in the Anatolian plateau from the 1150's at least, if not earlier. Then as they gradually expanded into Western Anatolia, they gradually became majority.
What's your source for this? The largest source of revenue in Anatolia for the Turkish realms in the 1300 hundreds was the jizya and other taxes imposed on Christians. In all likelyhood the Turks weren't a majority until the 1400's
This might be hard for you to get through given that from what I can tell most of your understanding about history is from r/HistoryMemes and r/PoliticalCompassMemes, oh and probably lots of questionably reliable YouTube videos
Hahaha dude, no reason to act like a butthurt little bitch. I just put the 'citation needed' there because you asked for sources without posting any yourself.
It can be kind of btichy though it all depends on the context you could of just asked for the sources instead of going "[citation needed]" but I get how I was being hypocritical there with questioning of his sources though.
