This is not a valid disambiguation page Staszek Lem (talk) 19:34, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep but cut down to the Ottoman and Turkish Republic entries, both of whose military histories can reasonably be known as "Military history of Turkey". Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:44, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a disambig page, with certain rules. If someone wants to trace whole history under, above, and beyond, they must write a comprehensive article. Take History of Poland for an example. There is no History of Poland (disambiguation) to list   from History of Poland during the Piast dynasty via History of Poland (1795–1918) up to History of Poland (1989–present).

 * Delete. There's already Military history of the Republic of Turkey and List of wars involving the Ottoman Empire, and the rest violates what a dab page is supposed to be. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Looks a pretty clear case of an unnecessary disambiguation page. The title should refer to the military history of the Republic of Turkey, and possibly to that of the Ottoman Empire (which was never called Turkey but some people know by that name). There's no need for a disambiguation page when a hatnote is the way of handling it. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:07, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * On second thought, this is really a set index article, not a dab page, so it really shouldn't be treated as such. A navigational list of all the various periods of history might actually be helpful. Pariah24 (talk) 18:43, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
