How was Egypt conquered by the Ottomans in just 1 Year?
From 1485 until 1491, the Ottomans and Mamluks had been at war across the Anatolian and Syrian regions of the Mamluk territory. The conflict ultimately resulted in an unstable peace treaty and no clear victor, thus foreshadowing the sequel that would soon come.
Both the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate were determined to seize overarching control of the Middle Eastern region - a rivalry that had become far more serious after the Ottoman conquest of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. The Ottomans were on the rise while the Mamluks were no longer at their peak, something that their adversaries fatally noticed…

You can easily tell only English sources were used as Ottoman army was vast majority cavalry not infantry. According to Turkish sources Ottoman army had 8,000 Janissaries, 4,000 Kapıkulu heavy cavalry and around 40,000 Sipahis. So 60,000 number is quite accurate but cavalry ratio was 4:1 at least and that was why Ottoman was very keen to catch Mamluks in a pitched battle instead of a defensive war. Because of this heavy cavalry army Ottoman always struggled to capture castles and towns that cavalry was useless in sieges. So Sultan Selim wasn't sending envoys to trick Mamluks rather he was acting like Ottoman was weak so Mamluks would dare to face them in a pitched battle which was exactly what happened. According to Turkish sources Ottoman cannons were causing heavy casualties for Mamluks so they threw everything for an all out assault on Ottoman sides where light armoured Sipahis were positioned. Sipahis were light armored skirmish forces and they could not handle heavy combat well so they struggled a bit but managed to repel Mamluks. Soon after entire Mamluk battle formation collapsed. Also Turkish sources very clearly state Hayır Bey retreated after right wing collapsed because of Mamluk casualties not before. About Mamluk sultan Ottoman forces just found him dead on the battlefield, nobody exactly knew how he died. It is believed he died from falling from his horse but it is even possible his own soldiers killed him. Entire battle took 8 hours, vast majority of Mamluk army got killed or captured while 2,000 Mamluks refusing to follow orders got executed after the battle. I don't know why western historians ridiculously act like Turkish sources are unreliable while it is all there without much fantasy or bias like ''instant stroke'' etc. You can argue English sources are better for youtube videos as they are full of spicy fantasy that i would agree..

you have a good taste my friend.
good thing the US wasnt around back then... or we would have proxied the fuck out of ottomans by supplying egypt with arms, funds, and training... not like enough to win or anything, but enough to make a dent.
The fact The Ottoman Empire has the crescent moon facing East while the empire they’re conquering has it facing West
What does this mean
@Bemen50 it means what the words mean my friend .
The ottomans flag has the moon facing east .
Get it ?
@freedombro6502 so the Ottoman flag moon was facing east, and the mamlok was facing west
East, West, Ottoman is best 😅
Together they are a full moon!!! 😱😱😱 The warewolves!!!!!!!!
The Mamluks death sentence was signed when they lost the Indian Ocean spice trade to the Portuguese, they had to raise taxes so much that rebellions and dissent became all too common.
Yeah they got out flanked by the Portuguese who went around Africa into an Ocean dominated by Muslim ships but they were unprotected. Indian Ocean trade was so peaceful and predictable the trading dhows didn't have to carry arms, and coastal cities were not fortified so the Portuguese could pillage and pirate with impunity. They even went into the Red Sea and threaten the holy cites in Hijaz. I read somewhere the Mamluks just didn't maintain a navy and destroyed most of their harbors to prevent Crusader attacks. I think that was a big mistake.
@@lmnop286Why would they do that??
@@lmnop286It’s because they lost Baghdad and the First Abbasid Caliphate.

Forgot the part where Sultan Selim 1 was the first person since Alexander the Great to have crossed the Sinai desert with his army. A feat which even the mongols could not achieve
I could be mistaken, but didn't Persia conquer Egypt briefly in the 7th century?
If you meant a monarch leading his own army, then you'd be correct.
@@v4facadePersia never conquered Egypt like ever, Persians occupied PART of Egypt more than 2500 years ago, in like 500 BCE but other than that nothing
@@user-vb6df4sd8d I'm pretty sure they did. Persia campaigned in Egypt from 618-621 during the final Roman-Persian War of 602-628.
@@v4facade they campaigned and it was pretty much sieges against some towns and fortresses at the time but they didn’t enter Egypt proper
@@user-vb6df4sd8d my initial point was responding to the comment saying that Selim I was the first to cross the Sinai peninsula since Alexander the Great.
So, unless the Sassanid Persians got into Egypt through the Mediterranean, they must have crossed the Sinai.
About the Persian campaign, they got pretty deep into Egypt, even capturing Alexandria. Their Egyptian campaign resulted in the Romans missing a large portion of food supplies.

@@Naruto-sv7mr m0-ham-mad was a ped0file and all@h is his alter ego
Probably fake
He use artillery vs Shah Ismail he was no warrior king
I feel as though part of this is misleading. The Mamluk heavy cavalry was probably better than the Ottomans. The Mamluks may have recruited peasants, but much of the Ottoman force were Ghazis and irregular cavalry. Maybe not "peasants" per se, but not disciplined warriors by any stretch. The Ottomans core force (though not the largest part, by any strecth) were the Janissaries and Sipahi (heavy cav).
The Ottomans defintely had more guns and firepower, but that was only the artillery and the Janissaries. The video makes it seem like the Ottomans were fully equiped with firearms, but both sides used bows, lances and other melee weapons. The Janissaries were maybe 7100 (on paper) out of the 60,000ish Ottoman troops. So, firearms ddefinitely played a major role in these battles.
Of course, the Mamluks relied on traditional weapons, unlike the Ottomans, who had modern firearms, which caused the defeat of the Mamluks.
You literally ignore the Betrayal of Khayer bey, who switched sides and joined the Ottomans, based on talks he had prior with the Ottomans :D @@thesunnyleopard.193
Janissaries were elite troops and constituted small part of Ottoman army, whereas cavalry forces called Tımarlı Sipahi constituted major part of army and used none-gunpowder conventional equipment because they trained in rural area of Empire by the Tımar Beys.
The reason for the defeat of the Mamluks is their use of primitive weapons unlike the Ottomans and the betrayal of the senior leaders of the Mamluk army and directing artillery fire on the Mamluks instead of the Ottomans If it were not for the betrayal the Ottomans would have been crushed easily
@@LION45613 in these videos they intentionally hide the treason factor that literally caused an unreasonablr collapse of one of the most formidable powers at the times. And it is weird they never covered the early Mamluk vicotries over the ottomans, and the past Egyptian ottoman wars where Egypt crushed them twice in a row.
I feel that such channels are following propaganda aswell.
Simple, because the Ottomans had Conquer Egypt casus belli, and the appropriate event triggered.
Nicely done video. I saw a video today on HistoryMarche about the battle that won the Ottoman's Egypt. It was great. And worth watching.
Glad you enjoyed it

Same. I watch both documentaries of the battle too
Yavuz Sultan Selim heaped the treasury of the Ottoman Empire and it was sealed with his imperial seal. Then he testamentized that whoever any of a sultan on his descendance could fill the treasury more than that he did, then he would have had the treasury sealed with his own seal.
The treasury of the Ottoman Empire was kept to be seal with the Yavuz Sultan Selim's seal for 405 years up untill its official end in 1922.
The seal is still on Turkish National Bank since nobody topped Selim The First.
What are you talking about?

The Mamluk sultanate is the sultanate of slaves. During the Ayyubid sultanate, Kipchak Turkics and Circassians, brought as slaves from the north of the Black Sea and the Caucasus, were included in the army and took over the government by making a palace coup against the Ayyubid sultanate. One of the commanders of the Mamluk army, usually the head of the Mamluk sultanateit would pass. By stopping the Mongol advance in the Middle East, the Mamluks prevented Syria, Egypt and the Hejaz regions from falling under Mongol rule, and eliminated the last remnants of the Crusaders in the Middle East. The Mamluk Sultanate was an important state in terms of Islamic history.
I am very happy that I discovered this channel. I have been following it for two years.

Sultan Selim I carried out unimaginable actions and made the Ottoman Empire a truly great global state in 1517. The Ottoman Empire also maintained his conquests for 4 Centuries. Likewise, the area of the Ottoman Empire reached during the reign of Sultan Selim 6.5how much
May God have mercy on the Commander of the Faithful and Caliph of the Muslims, Sultan Selim.
If only a modernized version existed today. Later Ottoman sultans messed up by not keeping watch of the developments happening in Europe and introducing them. It would have prevented their fall and the kept the Muslim world at the same pace as Europe.
@@lmnop286 thats true the ottoman empire was a curse on the islamic world in its last 2 centuries
History Marsh also uploaded today a video about that war too
Selim like Timur is a great example that marrying into Chinggisid royalty and becoming a son in law of Genghis Khan, turns one into a world conqueror. Timur through the house of Chagatai and Selim through the Jochids :)
Yep you got that
Sultan Selim didn't intend and promote himself as a proclaimed successor of Genghis as Timur did. His aim was to neutralize heretics and unify the Islamic world before marching against the christians. He didn't even plan to march on the Mamluks at first. They grabbed the thunder over themselves because of their misgivings.
Selim really love Babur because of his ancestor
@@ejayaziz470 Ever since the Ankara battle in 1402, Ottomans developed a great deal of admiration for the house of Timur, because of the culture, architecture, historical ties. Mehmed II was inviting hundred of scientists, poets, painters from the Timurid domain, Khurasan. In the eyes of Ottomans, the house of Timur was the last legitimate continental dynasty

And when the Ottoman Empire became like former eastern roman Empire it control all the main trading sea route to east then the Christian European could no longer trader properly and peacefully thus the age of exploration began with vasco da gama for founding new route to trade with east in new sea route
Not true. The Ottoman Empire continued to trade with Europe but Venice monopolized that trade and the kingdoms on the western end of the trade had to buy eastern goods from Venice at exorbitant prices. So they looked for a new trade route to cut out Venice. Muslims stopping trade to Europe is an old excuse but its not true.
@@lmnop286 yeah but venecian merchant islands where subjugated and the old silk road came to an end after conquering of Constantinople
And yeah European might had traded with ottoman but the Spanish and Portuguese were the new Christian power after reconquesta and pope and catholic Europe saw them as saviour and they saw ottoman Muslim as a big threat so they tried to find new route to trade with east
Vasco da Gama travelled to India 20 years earlier than Ottomans conquered Egypt and Levant.
@@hakanevin8545 yeah but the reasons are the following what I said
@@SeikhSayedAaman-qm6fx I'll add that Portuguese exploration started decades before Ottoman conquest of Constantinople let alone Egypt and Syria were most of the spice trading was done. They were already exploring the islands of the Atlantic coast near Africa in the mid 1400s. They wrote why they did it and it had nothing to do with the Ottomans or spices but to spread Catholicism. But they quickly realized the economic potential of a new trade route out of Venice-ottoman control. When Vasco de gama circumnavigated Africa it was a reconnaissance mission, he gauged the Muslim presence in the atlantic/Indian ocean and retuned to Portugal. He left again for Indian ocean but this time with a larger fleet.
TLDR many factors explain why the age of European discovery started not just one.
How can you make videos like this? I mean history on the map, I've been wanting to learn for a long time, but I don't know how))

The Mamluks were defeated because of primitive weapons and the betrayal of the leaders of the Mamluk Army
In 1517 the Ottoman sultan Selim I (1512-20), known as Selim the Grim, conquered Egypt, defeating the Mamluk forces at Ar Raydaniyah, immediately outside Cairo. The origins of the Ottoman Empire go back to the Turkish-speaking tribes who crossed the frontier into Arab lands beginning in the tenth century.
Having failed to adopt field artillery as a weapon in any but siege warfare, the Mamluks were decisively defeated by the Ottomans both in Syria and in Egypt and from 1517 onward constituted only one of the several components that formed the political structure of Egypt.
The usual answer to the question is that Ottomans had superior weapons and fire power as well as up to date military tactics. The Mamluks fought in traditional way.
Thanks for the information Carl 🙏💪
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack that starts around minute 1?
The Ottoman Empire was essentially the same as the Byzantine Empire gathered in pieces and broke up gradually.
The sultan death sounds like a sudden stroke or aneurysm
That’s what I was thinking… maybe it was caused by the stress of losing the battle?

@@historylover7355 That part might be also fantasy as Turkish sources very clearly state Hayır Bey retreated after right wing collapsed because of Mamluk casualties not before. Perhaps he ordered reserves to charge as well but his officers pulled him down from his horse and wounded him fatally while running away with some of the gold. It makes more sense than instant stroke lol.

THE TURKS AND THE WEST from 11 days. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot."
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , understanding the Turks ‘ military organization , given the credit for the greatest empire since antiquity , became a major European preoccupation .
Speake, J., n.d. Literature of travel and exploration. p.891.
By the middle of the 16th century, the Turks arguably possessed the greatest empire in the world.

you relise that there were many misunderstandings and miscommunication that led to this conflict
It was always so. The Hyksos conquered Egypt also in short order, and so did the Persians under Darius I and then Alexander.
It really is crazy how such a large country collapsed in just a year
large but brittle.
The Mamluks in their weakest time used primitive weapons and betrayed the leaders of the Mamluk Army and directed artillery fire on the Mamluks instead of the Ottomans

how did they control the Caspian sea ?
11:58 you forgot to mention the Persian gulf
How did they control the Caspian?
Selim I conquered the Mamluks and humiliated the Safavids (who obviously like the Ottomans were Turkic) in 8 years. The Battles of Marj Dabiq and Chaldiran were tactical masterpiece by Selim who was undoubtedly a military genius.
Wouldn't say Marj Dabiq was a tactical masterpiece,çaldiran was but no great tactical genius was used in Marj Dabiq.
They had no guns but cannons.
Save 13 Minutes
mamluks were unstable and the ruler died during the war
Sounds like the the old Sultan stroked out at the news that he lost.
You never mentioned how Ottoman army past the Sinai desert in a short time with minimum loses. This alone proves military genius of Sultan Selim I and logistic capability of his empire.

There is no Turkish or other influence on the Egyptian people because the Egyptian people have the greatest civilization Second, most of the period of occupation of the Ottoman Empire was only nominal occupation, especially after the rise of Muhammad Ali Pasha to rule Egypt, and there was nothing called a Turkish state Originally the Mamluks were two factions Marine Mamluks Tower Mamluks It consists of Georgian Circassians Second, Turkey is a modern country that has nothing to do with all this It was founded in the forties by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, it has no civilization or The history and region of the Balkans was just an Egyptian colony during the era of the Holy Egyptian Empire during the era of Sizostris

I wonder if Sultan Al-Ashraf Qasun Al-Ghawri had a stroke because his reaction to the battle has similarities to symptoms of a stroke. Because some of the symptoms of a stroke is half of your body being paralyzed and difficulty of keeping balance. Which both afflicted Sultan Al-Ashraf Qasun Al-Ghawri during the battle.
Yeah, that was my first thought too.
The first ottoman caliphate is selim 1. His son süleiman is second one, not first. Yea the süleiman conquered almost all african cost but he is not the first one.
