Is it possible for the adjective "unbreakable" to mean unbearable, blatant, inexcusable, unacceptable etc as in:

"He though of the Ottoman Empire as an unbreakable tyranny"
Thank you.

None of unbearable, blatant, inexcusable, unacceptable is a synonym for unbreakable.

...and none of them is a synonym for any of the others.

The second word of your quote should be "thought", not "though".
