The history of the Ottoman Empire is vast and more than interesting. Starting even before the sultanate itself, with the arrival of Turkish Tribes in Anatolia, the Battle of Manzikert, the creation of various sultanates, and then the start of the Ottoman Dynasty… This Empire that existed for 600 years, dominated its neighbors, won battles and wars, expanded quickly, and became a predator in this part of the world, achieving Great Success.
But... as History has always shown us since the beginning of time, that every action has a reaction, every day becomes night and every Empire has its downfall, as other empires before them, The Ottomans did write their final page of History…

Most ironic part is Ottomans and Habsburgs were rival for 300 years and they died while they fighting in same side of ww1
@Вхламинго They fought together in Galicia.
@@marybee1594 Thats why those people you speak about have there language and culture preserved today.
@@marybee1594 cringe
@@marybee1594 cringe
We would still fight for Germans
ironically when the Russian tzar called to divide the "sick man of Europe" before WW1 he did not know that the Russian Empire will fall before the Ottoman
Ottomans in fact caused the fall of Tzarist Russia by joining WW1 and holding the straits against the allies. Making them unable of sending aids to Russia.
@@arda213 Which does not make me happy. I have sentimental feelings towards the good old Russian Empire of the early 20th century. It was a European country with good economic prospects. And then everything ruined by communists, so many lives lost, not only in Russia, but all over the world in WW2 etc., we suffer from it to this day
@@omarsener8491 Of course not everything was OK. But instead of gradually improving things people wanted quick results and let radical leftists come to power. And of course the Tzarist regime carries much blame because it was so inadequate it got into WW1 for some stupid reason and could not recognize the threat from within. Suffice to say that the person who was in power, tzar himself could not protect his own family from being killed. Least he could do is send them to another country.
@@winterbalm It was actually exposed in 1926 that Russian Empire made ımperial plans over the Ottoman Empire. I mean, even if we did not declare war on them, they were want our land. Frankly, I have some sympathy for Nikolai. The man did not even intend to ascend the throne, but I think he wanted to be a son worthy of his father and became an autocrat. İf only the Russians and Turks had never fought with each other.
@@omarsener8491 so.
Like all empires , centuries to built , a few years to fall.
Not few years. Ottomans were in decline for about 200 years.
@@-Shadow__Rider- Yes, but they could have survived a bit longer if they were a neutral power.
@@arealphantom2859 not exactly
It was their last chance at any victory as the entente refused their
Alliance proposal
@@funinukeguy2804 Yes, but surely all out Swiss like neutrality could not just guarantee their independence but also give them leverage in trade deals with all major powers (like Iran) since the oil that was within the empire, they didn't need 'victory'
@@arealphantom2859 I meant likef they just let the war go they would have been politically isolated(maybe only with the soviets(If they even win))
And with many minorities and Imperial ambitions in the reigon the ottomans would have been destroyed in the coming years
At least by fighting they had a chance at a victory and relevance
Ottoman Empire had no choice to be neutral in ww1, Britain already targeted Ottoman lands and empire tried to be ally with Britain even gave Cyprus as a gift but had no chance
It wasn't given as a gift...
Before 1878 Berlin conference, Ottomans gave the administration of Cyprus to the UK. Before world war 1 begins, UK declared annexation and Ottomans became silent. So it's a gift
@@daprodigy3353 britain rented it and atatürk thinked they will be neutral in the war but when the time comes they will attack.Sorry for my bad grammar
@@pyth4701 atatürk?! Wtf
there's no ottoman lands they are all stolen.
It's pretty damn amazing that a state founded in the middle ages survived until the age of electricity
The Byzantine Empire lasted double the years the Ottomans had. So, not that impressive.
@@auto952 it lasted longer, but definitiv not double.
@@pyrusheliosmk2204 Here you are:
Byzantine: 330-1453 = 1,123 years
Ottoman: 1299-1922 = 623 years
1,123/623 = 1,8
So, 1,8 times aka almost double.
@@auto952 Byzantines didn't lasted 1123 years. You must count the 57 years of Latin rule.
@@pyrusheliosmk2204 Bro, 57 years will make no difference. And there were even Byzantine states that later took Constantinople back, so it didn't really fall.
The weirdest part for me as a Bulgarian is that we battled the Ottomans in 1913, then became allies with them in 1914 to 1918. History sure has its surprises.
nations don't have constant friends or enemies, just constant intetests
Bulgarians are relatives of Turks after all
Turkic people who speak a Slavic language
The weirdest part of the Turks,Turks fighted against Russians over 400 years and after the Great war,Russians supported Mustapha Kemal and Turks
@@hasantan3852 Because they were not Russians anymore, they were communists, and couldn't care less who the Russian Empire or the Russian people loved or hated
@@winterbalm I'm pretty sure that the Bulgarians are slavic
@@ulfekenberg6463 Yes, officially at this time they are. But if you research their history you will find out that they descended from Bulgars in Central Asia

Well that happens only once
@Вхламинго lol they were winning in the east... West not so much.
Turkey was like "Yeah.. we've seen this movie before"
:(
You did your homework well on a complicated period in Balkan history, nice work!
The fact that the Turks were not puppet after WW1 and fight for their independance is a win for sure.
Ottoman Empire collapsed midle 1700’s when imposible to outnumber
this + nationalist ideology is why you still see today Atatürk portraits in many businesses and households in Turkey
@UC2gK2vhREh8L2qc4dKqPlkQ LOL, that butthurtness.
The west tore ottomans apart. They could have done so much earlier too as the ottomans were weak for a very long time.
Well, the entante were busy with the bulk of their troops occupying Germany, so they couldn't force the Turkish partition. So you can thank Germany for that.
Ottomans : i never thought i would die fighting side by side with a catholic

The moment Italy invaded Libya balkan league declared war
@Kokoro Shimamura no they decalred war to the Ottomans during the war.
Their war with Italy ended on 18 October 1912. But the war with the Balkans started on 8 October 1912. Nice logic.
@Kokoro Shimamura no. They still keep fighting in 16 oct. İtaly has weak army. They cant go any further, they only has cost line. The other parts are controlled by Ottoman empire.
@Kokoro Shimamura also the other 3 is declared war to Ottoman empire after 3 second when Montenegro decalred war.
I just meant they were waiting for distraction
Good job man they are fantastic videos about history of ottoman empire

So detailed and insightful. Thanks a lot.
At the beginning of the 20th century, during the dawn of the era of automobiles/engines, "oil" became the most important thing and surpassed every other commodity produced in history such as gold-diamond-coal-iron-cotton-sugar etc.
No matter whom Ottomans joined with, Britain and France had focused on its lands in Arabia.
if arabs hadent revolted and empire had reformed the outcome woud have been very diffrent
@@abdurrahimberisha4821 thats a big "IF"...
@@abdurrahimberisha4821 Arabs revolted against the seculer government. As an Arab, I would do the same if that thing happened again. The only reason why turks and arabs lived together was religion and turks just changed the caliphate into germanic(fascist) secular country. This is unacceptable.

aisha time to take a bath with adult

The Prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While in Itikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to be in my periods (menses).

@Vf5fttft Drxrxtx sob all day as you like.
@@syrianatheist817 History isn't only about middle east. What's your point? Lol
If only the Ottomans reformed much earlier like the Japanese.
this is kind of misleading. They have reformed late but the acceptable time period in history. However, their priority was military because they were losing every war that they did (especially with Russians) so they couldn't form enough production facilities to compete with the west.
Which lead to their downfall (along with many other things)
Ottoman follow german style based on millitary and latter attaurk follow france stlye
Japan was lucky didn't have many rivals
That would be impossible, the European power would never allow that to happen
The exact period I was looking for and the exact information about the period haha thanks

At the beginning of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was victorious. It won in Gallipoli, Gaza and Kut al-Amara. And invaded Egypt and the Caucasus. But after the outbreak of the Arab Revolution, things changed. Half of the Ottoman forces were occupied, leading to the Ottoman Empire's eventual defeat.
@B Whit he just noted that! The reason for those victories was because of the Arab revolt. Siege of Jerusalem for example would had been won by the Turks if the Arabs wouldn’t had betrayed them
@B Whit Arabs revolted because they were provoked by their British masters, Brits sweet tongue charmed Arabs so they revolted and allied with UK. We were fighting against thousands of Arabs as we were also fighting against UK to defend our lands in Middle East.. its not a lie, thats how UK won in Middle East. Still we stopped their advance at Qut-ul Amare, we didn't let them invade Istanbul by winning Battle Of Gallipoli, which was one of the most bloodiest battle in WW1, its also known as being one of the battle which ''melee fight'' was heavily involved, altough Brits had higher technology compared to us, nor their technology and their body strenght saved them from being crushed, our technology wasn't big as their so we kicked them out with our arm's strenght so we actually blocked UK to reach their causes. However when our allies lost the war, we also lost it since we weren't able to fight against almost all of the world by ourselves lmao.
And ANZACS were just puppets tho, they got humiliated at Battle Of Gallipoli.. still they should be thankful to us cause of having that Battle against us. Cause after Gallipoli, Australians relaized they were used by UK and they should stand as a one nation, not as slave for UK.

Another fun fact: Bulgaria at the start of ww1 had a larger Army than the United States of America did

Thanks for your history episode video, i do love history and its my Frist time i hear the fall of ottoman in more detail, i only hear and read little bit of that history. It was a painful ending. British and France was those who caused demolition and divide the ottoman empire different parts unfortunately.
British and the French certainly played a part but Ottoman Empire was on the decline long before they intervened.
Thank you
Aw, I wish you'd focused little more on the Atatruk and the Turkish War of Independence. Nonetheless, great video!
I couldn't see any top comments saying this, so. The austrians and russians always fought eachothers through their history, or from the 15-16th century. So I always find it ironic how they went down together. And also that Russia was historic allied to Austria, but cuz of the crimean war, not so much I guess. three giants all went down the sinking ship with their arch-nemesis (Russia had fought both France and UK fairly recent).
Russia never did go down
It failed to reform and the constant internal unrest as well as the exterior threats brought it down

Good and brief video, nevertheless there is ONE BIG MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDING: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's war was NOT the "War of Independence"! Turkey was never a colony or under the rule of any foreign power. It was the WAR OF LIBERATION from allied occupation. So Ataturk liberated the state of Turkey from an illegitimate foreign occupation. Thats why the correct terminology must be Liberation over Independence. I suggest contacting to Turkish academics or reading some informative articles before proceeding to create such good video. Good content nevertheless.
@Ghost Ghost says who? "Ghost ghost"? Why don't you go back to your little shadow and hide yourself? Why bother commenting? You're a "ghost" and good ghosts are invisible
@Ghost Ghost Ah yes the sound of 0 education and research.
@Ghost Ghost He formed the Grand National Assembly and thus a functional government. He founded new Turkish Army and formed a General Staff and thus allowed a organised force to fight and liberate Turkey. He successfully commanded decisive battles such as Dumlupinar and won the war.
He was opposed to the Young Turks and a long enemy of Enver Pasha and the CUP. He called them murderous cruel idiots in 1926.
He was responsible for the Ottoman State dissolving, but the Ottomans were a sick disgusting dead empire that willingly surrendered to the Allies. He replaced it with a free, democratic and fair republic.
Kressenstein, Falkenhayn and Cemal Pasha lost in the Syrian Front. Kemal came and won at the Battle of Aleppo successfully halting British Advances.
Good point
nicely pointed! in Turkish we name it as "salvation war"
There is nothing that the Turks should be ashamed or sad about. They built one of the greatest and longest empires in the world, but this is how things go ... Rise and growth, stability, prosperity, then stagnation, sooner or later fall. This thing would have happened. This is the nature of things, but what they should be proud of is the great legacy they left for human civilization.
er, well, there's the little matter of the Armenian genocide.
@@NR-rv8rz they'll deny it till rhe day they die, it's pathetic and disgusting
I wouldnt call it a "great" legacy for human civilization. The Ottoman Empire focused mainly on war and the taxation of the people it occupied. Do you know what that Empire built in the places it conquered? Mosques and prisons. Thats it. Maybe a few hamams (Turkish public baths) here and there too but mainly Mosques and prisons. And from those Mosques, many of them were just converted Churches. The food is good though, although its not certain which ones were really theirs and which were just adopted from local cuisines like Arabic, Byzantine, Persian etc.

Their fate was sealed long before the Balkan Wars with the ideas of the ''nation-state'' that were promoted during the French Revolution. The Ottoman Empire was a religious state. That meant that all Muslims had the same rights no matter where they were from. Thus if you were a Christian, even if you were an ethnically Turk Christian, you still had less rights than all the Muslims, no matter if they were ethnically Turks or not.
The ideas of the nation-state spread primarily in the Balkans were Christians were the majority. All these countries became independent in the 19th century. The Arabs and the other Muslims had fewer reasons to rebel since they had the same rights as the Turks and other Muslims.
When Germany unified and took the role of Russia as the major threat to the Great Powers of Europe, the Ottoman Empire lost all of it's use for the British. The only reason that this empire was actually allowed to exists until 1922 was to contain the Russian expansionism in the Mediterranean. From the moment Russia became a secondary threat, the future of the Ottomans was sealed.

If Suleiman didn’t killed Mustafa, it could have last a little longer.
This is an amateurish and fairytale comment
There is something good in everything. How do you know that the sultans after Mustafa would’ve been great? I mean Selim the second was a son of Suleiman the Magnificent, the best sultan. Yet he turned out to be one of the worst sultans. So there is no guarantee that Mustafa’s descendants would’ve have been just as good as Mustafa. Some great sultans came in history and were the descendants of Selim the second so maybe the empire wouldn’t have lasted as long as it had if Mustafa had become sultan.
@@raysy_0620 This is the problem with monarchies! A republic with a benevolent dictator or an educated democracy is much better.
@@numanbaran8607 why do you generalise all monarchies? I’m no Turk but Ulu Hakan Abdulhamid ii extended the empires life for another 30 years. He built railroads, hospitals, military academies, schools, as well as paying 90% of the empires debt until he was overthrown by the young Turks in 1908, a group who only brought destruction to the empire and surprise surprise have the same thinking like you, in that monarchies shouldn’t have all power, only for the young officers like Enver Pasha to do the same and fk the empire into death
@@revivalist355 uh what’s a commeny?
can you do history of lithuania?
Do you have?
The ottoman empire is one of the most underrated empires in the West I'm happy that we're finally learning how powerful this empire was because you CZcams channels like this and others history is very important especially history that affects all of us today from Europe to Asia the Anatolia the steps the lavon Egypt North Africa West Africa England the North Sea empire India ... Listening in the United States alot of African-Americans think that they were the only slaves and then no one had it worse than them people are finally learning that's not true
There was no slavery in Ottoman empire in the understanding of Western mind, nothing close to what the African Americans experienced for hundreds of years, no physical torture, rapes, killings, lynchings etc. They mostly worked as house aides.
2:52 i remember that one in hight school but they teach us it wasn't sultan's plan.
Many experts say that the Ottoman Empire would have fallen decades before WWI had the European countries agreed on that
It fallen when Turkey decided to Westernize.
More like exactly when arabs rebelled. Arabs ruined every chance of Ottoman empire surviving shame.
true at least from 1830's upwards
Nothing lasts forever as mighty empires...
GENOCIDE HAPPENED in 1915
The fact that Constantinople was given back Turkey is profound to me. A historically greek/roman city and the capital of western civilization for a thousand years willingly handed back to the turks instead of given to greece.
I guess back then, Turks were ready to go to war again even after the independence war. Mustafa Kemal and his companions already drew the national borders for the R. of Turkey (which is called Misak-i Milli / National Oath) Threcountry was totally exhausted after the war but they stood still on the talks and never stepped back. One of my countrymen can put a light better to this topic but afaik, the talks in Lausanne were faltered at a point and Turks started to get ready for the war again. After that, the allies stepped back and accepted the terms.
It was not given. They just couldnt take it by force.
@@nazeemsultan123 they had already taken it by force. look up occupation of Constantinople 1918
They wouldn't give it to Greece, because if they did Greece would have been a superpower! They wanted to keep Constantinople as a neutral place amongst Western Europe and of course away from Russia.
Wrong. The main reason it was GIVEN to the Turks was because of Russian/British/French distrust of each other. Particularly France and Britain did not want Russia to take it or have influence in the Mediterranean and the Russians felt the same about the westerners. Having one side gain influence in the bosphorous would have meant war amongst each other and so they decided to agree to let the Turks have it and keep it "neutral".
Make no mistake, if either Russia or the west wanted to occupy it, possibly given it to Greece and control it through Greece or outright annex it at the time, they could have. But it wasn't as important anymore since the discovery of other routes and the Americas and wasn't worth the effort or going to war over. But Russia especially could have taken it easily but that would have meant more war with the west.
"...the counter-coup was quickly quelled.." Say that five times fast 8-P
It was impressive nobody can deny that at the height of its power!
And it may return 😳
@@lukelewis4698 don’t really see that one happening, not if it keeps angering its neighbors with such an aggressive foreign policy
It's pretty overated tbh
@@rickdalton7690 less overrated than Byzantium and Rome at least
@@bigbrothersinnerparty297 Nope not one bit
If only sultan abdul hamid was there the ottomans would've never fell
In your final pics the district of "antakya-hatay-antioche" is not in turkey but in syria, why?( sorry for my english)
