Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of the Ottoman Empire, continues with a video describing how the Ottoman sultan joined the Central Powers during World War I through the alliance with the German Empire. The video will try to show how this alliance came to be and if the German Kaiser Wilhelm II tried to use the fact that the sultan was also the caliph in order to invoke Jihad against the Entente countries to win WWI

I've been playing Supremacy 1914 for a while now, and you mentioned that the game has over 120 different units but the game only has 13 different units
The collapse of the Ottoman Empire and WW1 is one of the saddest issues in history.
Bruh, this game got no strong diplomacy and neither does it have that many units, it's just a simple game made by a small studio with low budget with a lot of bugs

Austrian Empire: Has a history of fighting against the Ottomans for centuries
Ottoman Empire: They've always been our friends.
It's like a good bar fight: you get drunk, get into a fight, then you make up and have a drink together and become besties.
Still more frank than the Italians ;)
But for some boring facts: Austria really accepted Islam as an official state religion after the occupation of Bosnia. Lest to say "occupation" doesn't really hit the nail since the result of it was new public schools, hospitals, courtyards and infrastructure which the Bosnians were so grateful about that they ended up among the highest decorated WW1 soldiers of the whole Austrian Empire - so the Ottomans had a clue that Austria treated its muslim population quite favorable.

Austria-Hungary: first time?
It is a bit complicated, while the Ottomans clearly lost Turkey came out of it pretty strong. Just like Austria-Hungary time had basically made both those empires old and dying. Kinda like Russia, really. Running a 20th century country like a medieval empire just didn't work anymore and even if WW1 never happened, they would have collapsed in the 20s anyways.
And at least, they did get Gallipoli. Who know how things would have turned out if the British successfully invaded Constantinople? Which BTW was wrongly named as Istanbul here, it wasn't Istanbul yet. History might have turned out pretty different then.
But I don't see the Ottoman empire and Austria-Hungary living past the 1930s even if the central powers would have won the war. There was just too much to modernize.
Germany: **poking Ottoman Empire with a stick**
Come on, do stuff.
Ottoman Empire: *collapses*
Ottomans: proceeds to protect the straits achieving a considerable victory in Gallipoli (et al) blockading the aid the Russians needed during the war, ultimately triggering and helping the Russian Revolution.
The Germans (28 years later): boy that was too much.
The Ottomans also fought and held with relative success millions of the entente´s men that would have been used in the European theater other way.

@@burst6553 just like everyone else if you think about it
In a way, ironically, the German assertion that the Entente were the enemies of Muslims was more accurate than it might seem when you know the history that comes after WWI.
Very Very True.
I mean Britain already had that done it after the 1857 rebellion in the Subcontinent, they removed all Muslims from official positions, and put the Hindus in their place, why? Because the last Mughal "Emperor" decided to join the rebellion, and so Muslims played a deadly price even those to didn't participate, even when the rest(Most) of the rebel rulers were all Hindus.
The entente did grant independence to Arabs tho, not a lot of them but the ones that helped in the Arabian peninsula, which is where Saudi Arabia emerged. It was the Kurds that got screwed over.
@@geoffbarney5914 The Entente promised land to the Arabs which they took instead that action is the origin of the prominence of wahabbism/Islam*ism* and oh so many of the conflicts in the middle east.
Yea u r right
Historically, the greatest endmy of Islam was and remains Islam. Sunni vs. Shi'ia, secular Muslims vs. Religionists, nationalists vs Transnationalists. Islam has been and remains at war with itself. The mistake many make is thinking Islam is monolithic. In fact, it's no mor monolithic than Christianity. The mistake Germany made us thinking of Islam as monolithic.
There was a curious irony involving the Berlin-Baghdad Railway: The first German monarch trespassing Anatolia, Frederick Barbarossa, claimed that his path on the region would be "A Road made of Iron", instead of a "Golden Road", which means he would fight until reaching Jerusalem, instead of paying gold to the Turks, allowing a peaceful passage for him and his knights.
It appears that the "Road made of Iron" really comes several centuries later, but without bloodshed.

@sebâstian turnayev don't know. I know the Central Asian nations are Turkic and the origins of the Turks in Turkey (They came from Oghuz Turks from modern Kazakhstan).
Though the Turks in Turkey are a little more mixed with the populations which lived in Anatolia before the Seljuks and Ottomans.
@sebâstian turnayev don't know but all people are a little mixed anyway. I know Tajiks are Iranian but Uzbeks, Kyrgiz, Turkmen and Kazakhs are more related to Siberian Turkic opulations than the Middle Eastern Arabs or Iranians.

Queen Victoria converted more people to Islam than Ottomans did at the time.
It started a German tradition that continued into the second World war.
The reason the jihad didn’t work is because the ottomans didn’t t have enough mana points for it
It’s all a decree from Allah. No empire lasts forever, and considering the shit the Ottomans did after their nationalistic reforms, it isn’t a surprise they internally collapsed and their own Arab section revolted.
And that revolt just made everything worse them the Arabs themselves. Bruh moment.

@@BLRSharpLight thanks brother.
I wrote my masters thesis on Anglo/German imperial competition in the Ottoman Empire, in particular the Berlin-Baghdad railway as I believe it to be not only an interesting and oft overlooked aspect of WW1 but also to be a primary cause for the war itself. It includes the oil rush led by a young Churchill in charge of the Royal Navy and moving away from coal powered ships, the Viceroy of India unilaterally seizing Kuwait for the British Empire without the British governments consent in London to stop the railway reaching the Persian gulf and German efforts to bypass suez and create a shortcut to India. At the turn of the century the British government was all but signed up to join the railway project until British business’ with interests in the area (prominent being the owners of steam liners along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers who felt threatened) began a press campaign to stop it and the government backed down. Ironically, initial German interest in the Ottoman Empire was purely economic, it was British attempts (often from sources other than the government in London) to monopolise trade, resources and other development in the area which pushed Berlin to get directly involved and began a descending cycle of confrontation between the two empires.
Could you share your work, please?

Sharif Hussein 20:55 = Holy war is out of the question as the Ottoman Empire sided with Christian states to fight other *christian states*
Also Sharif Hussein: Sides with Christian states to fight a *Muslim state*.
At the end: Israel was created and almost none of thr promises were fulfilled. Laughable ending.
make no mistake about it , half the animosity towards the west in the muslim world now is because of this story .
Muslims "Arabs" sided with Christians "British-french" against other Muslims "ottomans" only to be betrayed by the Christians who create a "Jewish state"
that Jewish state to many Muslims became like a form of ISIL , a Judaic state in the Levant or JSIL
now many Muslims feel they've been fighting a religious war for 80 years since Zionism took hold of our territory with a state whose flag and name come from a scripture

@@amrshatlaa9617 As it stands, the Muslim world will never unite. The youth is getting less and less religious as days go by so it's a matter of time for a cause called "Muslim solidarity" to be gone for good.

@@kasadam85

Jihad is an holy war its like an crusade so if the ottomans have an jidah but work with Christain states this doesn't really make it an jidah as its not a fight for the muslims he can in fact have an Jihad and ally him self with Christain states but it should be an fight for Islam and Muslims . While he claimed an Jidah Sharif Hussain didn't he declared independence against the ottomans this is just war and war can happen between muslim states. Jihad only happened an few times around like during the times of the crusaders where taking Jerusalem was an important thing even Moroccans attened to.
Yeah kinda sucks Israel being created they promised an big independent Arab state but screwed them in the end even after fighting their wars

Evrything is slowly starting to make sense !!
@sebâstian turnayev because they r turks ofc
@sebâstian turnayev I think you should look at the whole picture. The Turkic peoples first emerged in the Altaic region (a mountaing range between China,Siberia (Russia),Kazakhstan and Mongolia). Basicaly you have Mongoloid(Chinese,Japanese,Korean,Asian etc) Nomads and Caucasoid(Germans,Poles,French,white etc)nomads. So when these nomads (Mongoloids east of the Altaic and Caucasoid west of the Altaic) basically assimilated one another (mixed culture,genetics,customs) the Turks arose. The earlier Turks were part of various multi ethnic Nomadic empires on the Eurasian Steppe like the Xiognu or the Rouran. Then the Gokturk Khaganate emerged and spread across the Steppe and the Turk influence increased as Turkic culture spread and many Nomads assimilated and became Turkified (similarly how many various noamds were united under a similar culture before this which we know as the "Scythians"). So the Turks spread everywhere. In the East in places like Siberia and Mongolia they are geneticaly Mongoloid with less Caucasoid genes as they kept on mixing with the local East Asiatic populations (such as the Mongol or Tungusic people) they started to look more and more "Mongoloid" (like your modern day Korean or Japanese) while the Turks who migrated westward started to replace/assimilate and intermix with the Indo-European people of Central Asia (most of them Iranic groups like Sogdians or Scythians). These Turks started to look more and more "Caucasoid" (like Iranians or Afghans) and the ones who reached Anatolia (modern day Turkey) look extremely similar to Greeks,Armenians,Iranians and other neighbours. So Turks diversified in terms of both genetics amd appearance and essentially every Turkic person is a mix of different genes and even cultures similar and glued together by a "Turkic" factor which is langauhe and similarities in culture as well. So basically both Uzbek and Turks are equally "Turkic" and a Greek looking Turkish person is just as much of a Turk as a Mongol looking Siberian with many differences. As for Turkestan/Central Asia Tajikistan is mostly Iranic whike Afghanistan has significant Turkic minorities (Hazara,Uzbek). As for Uzbek,Turkmen,Kazakh,Kyrgyz and Uyghur they are Turkic peoples because of a "Turkic" culture which has customs from their Turk ancestors as well as the Iranic people that inhabited the region before the Turks migrated there. Similarly they are geneticaly quite mixed as well they bear both ancestry from the Turkic peoples as well as many nom-Turks as well. The best possible answer to your question is "yes the Uzbek are both Turkified and real Turks" they are descended from the original population of Turks and also non-Turks that adopted Turkic culture (this also happened vice versa as Turks were influenced by other cultures as well). I hope you understand. As for Turkish-Uzbek relations that a whole other story.

Kind of ironic that Wilhelm II claimed to be a friend of Muslims. When building his colonial empire in Africa he took Tanzania front Omani Arab control and divided up the Sokoto Caliphate with the British. I suppose he meant “as long as they aren’t in the areas I have a hope of colonizing”
Didn't the Ottomans invade the Christian world too? They both go together.
i mean yeah its all just pragmatism at the end of the day
"he declared a jihad against the infidels"
@@thejamaicanpolak3988 yeah….hundreds of years earlier
You forgot to mention that the Omani Arabs were a minority in the land and that their (also colonial btw) empire was already crumbling - also because of that. The Germans actually allied with them in their new colonial possessions and they became the new - but old - elite in the new German colony there. So they weren’t kicked out, attacked or oppressed.
Good work as always. Great content
Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job

I can hear Bismarck screaming in his grave
The dreaded alliance between France and Russia 😱
Intersting to compare to "old school" history writing, Ottoman was pro-German and did join them, but they never mention that Ottoman begging England and French for a alliance but was rejected.
Because Britain and France were salivating for the lands of the Ottoman Empire. According to Main Kampf
The Ottomans weren't especially eager to join the war on either side, since they rightly understood that they and their own interests would be subordinated to the major European powers. While some of the Ottoman leaders had clear sympathies toward one side or the other, their main goal was to try and get the best possible terms they could out of whichever side they eventually joined. So they wanted to see if the Entente would be willing to swear off any further encroachment on Ottoman territory in exchange for the Ottomans joining them instead of the Central Powers.
They actually mention it in Turkish edication.
@JR - Depends on how 'old school' you like to get. Once the 'Fischer Controversy' exploded during the early 1960s the quality and quantity of scholarly debate expanded with it. There was a bit of a consensus up to about 1960 that everyone just stumbled into the WW1 by accident. Once Fischer wrote his books about Germany's war aims that consensus was gone and has never been reformed. I suppose there is a difference between 'popular' history and real 'scholarly' history. Here in the UK the focus is so heavily on The Western Front and the war of attrition that it's pretty much all we read about or see on television. The Ottomans barely get a mention apart from Gallopilli and 'Lawrence of Arabia'.
@@Gustav_Kuriga Whether they have or they haven't (and to my knowledge the documentary evidence he used has not been challenged) makes little difference to the fact that his work caused an explosion in research regarding the origins of the First World War.

Kings and Generals should make this video:
It's been a century since the last victory of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. On April 29. 1916, Ottoman troops defeated the British army in the city of Kut in Iraq and captured 13,309 British soldiers, including six generals and 476 officers. The triumph of the Ottoman army in Kut came only a few months after its great victory in the Dardanelles in northwestern Turkey. This incident, which went down in history as the last victory of the Ottoman Empire army and a significant defeat on Britain's part, risk being forgotten as time goes by.
I suppose there will be an episode on Germany’s foreign policy objectives and dealings with China?
I'd be happy to see it.
@kiran m So he was a hero to Indians too, not just Arabs. The victors have sure twisted our history haven't they...
@kiran m That's born out of wanting to weaken the British influence, not out of any particular love for the Indians. That's realpolitik of war, not ideology. Plus it directly contradicts the little we know of his post war plans from Zweites Buch. Where he essentially planned an Anglo-German alliance, which entailed German domination of the European continent and believed the only way to achieve this was for Germany to give up all colonial and naval ambitions. AKA, he was willing to throw the rest of the world to British domination, as long as Germany got to dominate the "Ayran" world.
@@alissa6 Not at all. He didn't give a damn about those people, it was just an expedient war time strategy. Expecting Hitler to keep to his promises once the war was won, is like expecting Hitler to stop invading European countries if the West granted him concessions like the Sudetenland, exactly the mindset behind the failed policies of appeasement. Rudolph Hess even flew to Britain just before the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union and promised Germany would guarantee the British Empire if the British would grant Germany a free hand in Europe and it's not entirely clear whether he did this with Hitler's blessing or not (the Nazis couldn't be seen to be making peace with Britain as this would've upset Japan, hence the secrecy but admittedly it's not entirely clear whether Hess did this of his own accord or not).
Do they form a G7 group chat or something like that? From what I heard, Beijing is furious about that.

@Абдульзефир Helpless? dude at least Sultanate of Aceh has tried to liberate Malaka City from the Portuguese
@Абдульзефир Bro What? Ottoman Empire didn't help anything to Aceh during Acehnese Dutch War but Dutch still difficult to conquered that Region they are not always in hence of Ottoman for help
And don't forget about bali which was the last region to be conquered. They were both great warriors (aceh and bali people)
there is even a proverb in Malay language to describe a greedy act is same as Dutch colonialism.
The Ottoman economy had already collapsed and the empire was about to collapse. Entering the World War I only shortened his life. But there is a truth, if it had not been destroyed, the Middle East would have been a much more peaceful place
you sure we joined the ww2 ?

20:05 bro these sections are amazing.
So excited for that shirt to show up! 👕
Ottoman Empire entered the war in which they could not win anything but just prolong war on behalf germans. They lost almost half of their men, it was the only country that lost all of its territory, and their population collapsed dramatically. Most people don't realize it, but the only real loser of the first world war is the ottoman empire. We can also add hungaria too.
Well, Hungary and Austria. They both lost around 70% of their territory, access to sea, etc.
good
Humanity lose the first world war
@@monhk6136 fun fact austrians still hate turks but france uk... destroy they empires
all participants. Because of world war 1 and over all harsh treatment of the central powers revanchism nationalism had a big stage and also had easy access to power
I recommend Rob Newman's 2003 comedy-history show, A History of Oil. Filmed during the invasion of Iraq, it covers the Berlin-Baghdad railway as the starting point of how we get to the nightmare that is today's middle-east (in 2003 at least.)
Great video
Great vid
Not going to lie… originally thought this was about some sort of alt-history world where Brandenburg-Prussia allied with the Ottomans to attack Austria, like a lot of my EU4 games.
@@rahman9749 try to get the mollucast before the european did, and you'll get some handsome gifts.. haha
You know which almost no one talks about? The Khmer Empire or Angkorian Empire. Kings and Generals should do a video about it sometime.
Aha and what about Funan and Chenla ancient Kingdoms? Its also around Cambodia isnt it? 🙂
I like the font you used in the newspapers :) like in 18:30 Kaiser sends two warships
I love history from ww1, its one of my favorite things from the twentieth century
Quick info, Jihad doesn't mean "Holy War"
It actually means Striving or Struggling.
Maybe the words itself meaning is striving/struggling, but its perceived as a ”holy war” concept starting with the prophet himself ;)
@@civfanatic8853 It's actually a half phrase, the full phrase is Jihad in the way of God, which means striving and struggling in the way of God, islam doesn't have the concept of "Holy War" in any of it's teachings.
@@ragnar9060 I see. Tyvm for the details. Anyway, too bad that today, especially the extremists use it as ”holy war” meaning, giving it the interpretion it suits best to them. Islam says that even in such a struggle, women and children should not be harmed, so why blow yourself up? To kill women and children by tens or hundreads? The extremists are doing the exact opposite of what Coran says, but that of course is a long discussion :)
It has both meanings
@@civfanatic8853 yeah. And what percent of civilian casualties in wars are due to those people blowing themselves up? I doubt it would normally exceed even 0.1% in any conflict. But these attacks is everything people hear about, because that's what propaganda is about
Thank you for this detailed amazing work!
I would like to add just one background information about the young Turk movement, they had sympathy for the brits and French cause they were sent there for their education
I know about the aliance of the ottomans with germany in WW1 but have no idea about the why, where and who of the aliance. Thank you for this new history lesson and go forth!
Nice episode
I think you need a new title for this. Rather misleading. It is certainly a very good video which explains a lot.
K&G is a great channel and deserve more viewers. Sadly, in this TikTok and influencers dominated world, you gotta make your title as evocative as possible, - borderline controversial even - in order to gain more tractions.
@@mikes7566 you dont. But it helps
You're not going to tell me they called him "Haji Wilhelm"... 😂
He was probably a Muslim
Petition to make a completely non-historical biopic where Haji Wilhelm fights Lawrence of Arabia in the desert.
@@spartan9540he most certainly wasn't 😂 he was just using the Muslims for his own purposes
Love the video
Kings and Generals thank you for these videos
Please don't forget to make videos about
-Aristotle teaching Alexander the great
-Ottoman Empire science and astronomy and "ulema"
-Tengrism
-Plato,Socrates,Aristotle wisdom and teachings
I'm waiting for....thank you
11:14 ah yes... Yamato class Battleships Goeben and Breslau ;)
Yamato class?
Not to mention Erin and Agincourt.
@@tigertank06 the animation shows a yamato class from ww2, if you zoom in
Kings and Generals Türk tarihini anlattığın videoların alt yazılarının Türk'çe yazılmasını rica ederim.
Nice video👌👌
The History Channel should take notes from CZcams Channels like these.
These videos are truly for history buffs.
Bro please make a series on French war of religion.
So many Henris...
Germany tried something similar in WW2: to use the Muslims in the Soviet Union to fight against the Red Army. The Chief of this Operation, Reinhard Gehlen, was recruited after the war by the US, because the US wanted to make use of his Expertise in the cold war. This might have been the original idea behind the US cooperation with the Muhajedeen in Afghanistan against the Soviet forces there. Read "Die vierte Moschee" by Ian Denis Johnson.
That was nice video
Excellent ❤
This video should be followed up with British agitating jihad against Ottomans and the later rift with the Ikhwan revolt and the origin of Wahhabism as we know it.
"Wahhabism" far predates British presence in the region.
Interesting subject so often ignored, great stuff.
I have a question "What if" The Ottoman Empire stayed neutral during WWI. How different would history had been had they net gotten involved. How much longer would this empire have lasted. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
We have idom like that "Water flows and find it's way" No one can escape the corraption mighty kingdoms, powerfull countries and great rulers was always fell. World is kinda graveyard of the countries even now no one remember powerfull kings and generals at their time. They forgotten until the world end. Our timeline, culture i mean just started at all. Just think about it sick man of europe is always sick? It not possible but their kingdom continued 650 years. They collapsed because of their sicness at all. Corraption itself turned as culture that was a dangerus thing in the world. If you doesn't have a change, you will push into change.. I think ottoman get collapsed anyway because that surfed with corraption waves and they refuse to change. I now my english kinda weird but i hope it can understandable.
@@Tofsar---I understood enough of your English. And I figured the Ottoman Empire would've collapsed anyway. I was just wondering how many more decades would it have lasted before it eventually fell.
@@Tofsar---By the way. Thanks for replying.
@@brokenbridge6316 Not much if u ask me they just like crazy seamine if no one hit them they able to hit anywhere. Also i belive actually russians no needs reason for fighting at the time that events just add legitimacy their actions. Maybe sultan doesn't wanna fight but concil want it also germans push them also brits and russians push them in this war.
Ottomans just needed a change mentally like i said. İf they prefer to retreat uncontroble areas like yemen or libya and algeria on the time maybe balkan war never happen arabia never rebel or egypt never fell. But ww1 to late for everything.
We also have idoms like that "let the people live so the state can live" but they forgot about the people of that lands actually.
@@Tofsar---Okay. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
the use of arabic words in the news papers as alphabets was hilarious, well done
