On the 29th October 2023, the Republic of Turkey will have celebrated 100 years since it’s founding in the wake of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. 1923 marked the end of over six hundred years of Ottoman imperial rule, which at the pinnacle of it’s power in the mid 16th century, dominated lands across much of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Rising from relative obscurity as a minor regional power in Northwestern Anatolia, the Ottoman dynasty would usher in a period of remarkable territorial expansion, coupled with rapid advancements in governmental, social and economic systems that allowed for one of the most diverse and prosperous empires in the world to flourish. But what became of this once mighty and powerful state and how did it shape the modern Turkish nation of today?
This is the history of the Ottoman Empire.
Great presentation. 600 years of complex history explained in 20 min. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah left out a genocide or two or ten.

We’re not westerners to commit genocide. That’s something you’re people are professionals at.

Man, kids today have it lucky when it comes to history. Sure we had history books and teachers but they would break it down into every complex occurrence that happened and make it hard to see the big picture. Here we have it all summed up perfectly in 20 mins! Yes, there's a lot of crap on CZcams and the internet as a whole but thankfully there's some really good stuff, like this, as well. Thanks TIH 🙂
it's so fucking true man. I have learned so much in just a few weeks from random youtube watching
It's absolutely incredible; I like to use videos to get that big picture then read books to get more information, its best to have a mix of both because books are more accurate. You always have to watch for false information when studying history on the internet.
@@BobbyBundlez so much information easily accessible. It's crazy that not many people use such opportunities to learn
Yet, we dont learn the lesson. How the empires fall and glory fades. The riots in the USA , political turmoil, etc. eventually, our great country will be divided into smaller provinces and won't b grandeur. The US might be the shortest lived superpower.
They made the best foot rests in history. Soft, elevating and practical.
Beautiful visuals, and very well explained. I’m gonna binge watch all your videos now.
wow so well put together. Travelling through Turkey rn and this was just what I needed!
Turkey is such a great place to visit. I’ve never seen a more hospitable culture
Nicely written and presented. Great job THIS IS HISTORY.
thank you for the clear explanation
Thank you for educating me on this topic. I particularly enjoyed the annotated maps.
The decline of the Ottoman Empire is very important for setting the geopolitical stage in the levant in the 20th century. The British Mandate of Palestine after WWI preceded the nation of Israel in 1948 and the troubles now in Gaza since stem from the promises of Lawrence of Arabia to Palestinians quickly broken by Lord Balfour.
Indeed. Very accurate statement. This once was a part of history that got skipped over in secondary school history education (at least in my country.). That was a big mistake.
Very well explained . Good job.
thanks for all your 'empire'-videos! this channel is quickly becoming a favourite
This vid deserves a lot more views!
Kids should have to watch one vid like this for every 2 or 3 asinine Tiktok or fake prank videos they watch.
If you're wondering why the Ottomans used to wear such large turbans, these were their kefens, the cloth that was wrapped around the deceased before they were buried. Remember death often said our Prophet a.s.
Awesome information 😮
Thank you for this video
Interesting. Informative. I will watch a second time. (I do appreciate the brevity.)
This was an excellent summarization! Well researched, written, presented and paced. As a history buff, but not an academic, I found it thoroughly interesting and educational. 👍🇨🇦
Actually it's not that good. It only appeals to those who aren't much informed.
@@lauroandrea3241okay what wasn’t shown in this video then?
As somewhat of a research and learner of history in M.E I denounce your opinion
it would be too long to write n answer@@diren6298
Er zijn inderdaad wat genocide vergeten te vermelden 😂😅geschiedenis? 😮
Alleen wat je uitkomt vertellen😢.
Amazing documentary!
Wonderful Documentation
Excellent presentation. Enjoyed it very much.
great video
nice video. This was a good overview although the maps should be more accurate next time
What do you mean directly?
what are you confused about?@@yolumuzdayiz
Good narration
Here because of the isreal and Palestine war
Not cause by ottoman empire but cause by british and UN
@@reefmohammed3553thank you yes. They created it.
Jewish people wanted to stay in their homes and some didn't want to force gods hand.
Israel should be a place. Palestine too.
Israel was just created and then the british left them. They were both angry about the way it happened.
Churchill was antisemitic.
Me to because everyone yells colonization but they don't understand that all nations take land and colonize it it just depends on whether they can hold it
@@renegadeknows1776No...
the West have taken more land and are the biggest colonisers...please check your history.
Me as well
G work
Great video.
I was just looking to buy a couch
Sir, it was a period of a long series of battles, bloodletting,harem and intrigues and of course fall of Constantinople becoming Istanbul ,and the discovery of new worlds,industrialization/colonization.
Love it.
I can't believe you didn't mention the portuguese-ottoman wars
You can't narrate history of a 600 year old empire without cutting many important parts alongside with some less important parts.
Sadly yeah the portuguesse ottorman war was more important then the siege of viena
Don't expect so much from brief summaries.
There were 13 Ottoman-Russian wars. It's impossible to explain it all in 20 minutes. For example, Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. It is impossible to explain in a few minutes.
@@diren6298 battle of buda beat habsburg ottomans beat portugese both
The reason for the turmoil in the early 15th Century was Timur The Lame,who very nearly destroyed The Ottoman Empire before it got off the ground
What saved it was Timur's sudden death at 35.
Wtf? Timur died when he was 68 years old.
Good video.

Nisi stulti resspondere ad omnem quaestionem 😂😊
Great video. Love it.
I read the title as “Tge Super Poer of Middle Earth”
My thought was “not if Gandalf has anything to say about it”
After the places where the Ottomans had to leave, they fought each other in war after war, the Ottoman Empire was the security of those lands.
You're forgetting why the Selijuk Empire ultimately collapsed:
The invasion of the Mongols.
With the defeat of the Selijuks by the Mongols,the Selijuk state in Anatolia broke down into several smaller states/principalities,one of them eventually becoming the Ottoman Empire.
Had the Byzantine Empire been stronger and more competent, they could've taken advantage of the Selijuk disarray in Anatolia and regained control
I still don't understand why only the Selijuk in Anatolia spoke Turkic, the narration of this video even says that after taking over Persia, the Selijuk adopted their language ...
@@zy9662 No, Turks never abandon their language wherever they go. You can see it in Mamluk, Mughal etc. dynasties too. Their subject can speak their native language, but the Khans or later Sultans speak Turkish along with the language of that land.
@@onur6145 so why they don't speak Turkish in Syria, northern Iran and Iraq?, if those regions were similarly conquered by the Turks even before Anatolia. If you check the DNA of modern Greeks and Turks is very similar, as if the Turkish are ethnic Anatolians that happened to change their language from Greek to Turkish
@@zy9662 First of all, Greeks was not that common in Anatolia. There were already many different ancient people. Greeks came from modern-day Greece and colonized mostly the coastline cities. Second, the similarity btw DNAs is the result of population exchange after the WW1 from both sides. Greeks in Anatolia and Turks in Greece exchanged. After living centuries together, of course a genetic bond occurred. Finally, Turkic people in Syria and Iraq are called Turkmen and they can still use many old Turkish words. But unfortunately the nation state age began and familiarized every ethnic group outside their majority population to adopt the new rules. The things I said above were about before these changes in world politics.
@@onur6145 OK even if Greek was not common in anatolia, there were other languages before the turks arrived. So why of all places where turks (and later the Ottomans) conquered in the middle east only in Anatolia they speak Turkish...
Oh god, the background music is so beautiful. Does anyone know whats the name or where to find it?
Don't mention the sultans as warlords tho, If you name them war lords them name all of the others as war lord too.
I have to say one thing "the sun will never sets on the British empire"
A video about the history of the Jasudowicz family would be awesome since there isnt much information about them

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 21:00
At the time of Salim the Ottoman already had conquered Mecca and Madina
The Central Powers were Austria-Hungary Empire, Germany, Bulgaria, and the Ottomans
It's absurd to call the Ottoman Empire religiously tolerant when your only other examples are Christianity and Judaism. They along with Islam are just sects of the same Abrahamic tradition. The Circassians and Ossetians and I'm sure many more examples were pushed into Abrahamism by the Ottomans.
Well they were going to be pushed by the ottoman influence or the Russian encroachment which lead to a reasonable genocide of the circassians in the Caucasus
There were barely any non-Abrahamic peoples in the Ottoman empire.
It was the empire you could see and where the most freedom and religious freedom was enjoyed. When Fatih conquered Istanbul, he founded the first Armenian orthodox church. Dozens of churches were built in the Ottoman Empire. He embraced the Jews. He embraced all nations. Otherwise, the Ottomans did not try to Turkify the people under the Seljuk rule for 600 years and 400 years. And in their time there was peace in the orthoeast, except for minor incidents. Until British agents provoked different ethnic groups because of oil.
Mashaa Allah
I finally know why it's Istanbul and not Constantinople
I really recommend looking into historical maps before making these videos
Unearthing the Past: A Journey Through History
There is so much more of the Ottomans before Osman.
It was never called the Byzantium Empire. That was a title assigned by historians hundreds of years later.
Byzantium is a universally accepted historical term. So is "Byzantine Empire.".
@@RobespierreThePoofit’s accepted but not accurate
@android175 Words convey a meaning and understanding. If when I speak of something. You understand what I am saying referring to. That's what it becomes and is.
Maybe you can make a push for the global conscience of the "accurate" name.
@@Bustaperizm the accurate name is what they called themselves. Everything else is an artificial label. You may know what it means, but its a corrupted image of the real historical name.

Thanks for summarizing The Ottoman Empire, which was always a weak link in my education, although very important. I hope that you shall create a video on The German Empire, which will be much more tricky than with the other empires. Sometimes it looks to me that the Germans colonized the USA (instead of emigrating there) in the 19th century, which may be the tricky card of their imperial power ...
🤣🤣🤣 STOP LİE YOUnİDİOT
@@SRAMLiraiumwhat lies

@@SRAMLiraium they were never weak
He said it was a weak link in his education!
Who else is here to understand the history of how Israel became what it is today? So from my understanding, Palestine was an Ottoman empire which then became affiliated with Germany after the Ottoman's decided to join forces with them during WW1. They lost control after Britain and other countries defeated Germany and its allies- leaving Palestine under control of Great Britain.
it says in video palestine was safe under ottoman but what they did they rebellion with british and now they f*cked so they did themselves
Please dont try to understand history from videos, whose main intent is to get clout. Instead, read academic or encyclopedic sources which are very common thanks to the internet. Palestine was under Ottoman dominion, and Arabs sided with the Allied forces against the Ottoman Turks, and Brits betrayed the arabs after defeating the Axis powers in WW1
Genesis 12:1. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring [or seed] I will give this land." -
Exodus 5:22 6:12
Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”
Israel was given by God to the jewish people thousands of years ago. Before the existence of Palestine. Who are you to say what God can do. Until you agree with God about isreal belonging to the jewish people. God will never forgive any of your sins for undermining his authority and position
❤🇹🇷❤️ Their grandchildren will come again, no one should worry.
Dromen zijn bedrog😂😢
The world has changed...,we are civilllized now😂😂😂😂😂
And to this day Turkey pretends the Armenian genocide never happened, but it did.
Im here to check if the the Polish Hussars would be mentioned. Was not disappointed 😊
Damn!!!!
How much harder is it to say the eastern Roman Empire than to say Byzantine Empire?
Byzantium has been an accepted historical term for a very long time.
Why are you being so petty?
Thank God we had a wonderful leader like Ataturk. saved us from the brink of disintegration and exploitation. He was a courageous, visionary and intelligent leader. He gave us the human rights that most countries had to fight for, on a silver platter. He gave us the right to vote and be elected, equality, justice... everything. I wish he had lived longer, our country still needs him.
İm from Ottoman ❤❤
it's funny how western depictions of the Ottoman empire always displays a minimalist approach to the borders, never coloring more than the essential cities they controlled when in actuality all of Arabia and most of north Africa was under complete control of the empire. You don't see modern Arabian/Egyptian maps only coloring the areas where most of the population resides in...
Im here because of AC revelation lol
We must remember at that time there was no such thing call Islam The ottoman practice Mohammadism not Islam
REVIEWING
why the Ottomans did not conquer the Philippines?
I just wanna know what was israel original size
Non existent
By the time when ottoman empire collapsed, there were no Palestine or Israel state
@@DucDigitalthere was a protectorate off Palestine and it was shown on old British documentaries, maps,…. Etc
@@diren6298 That's most likely the name of a region. It's like calling Berlin a city. But as a state, Israel and Palestine do not exist.
At what point in history? You can look for the Iron Ave map of Judea and Samaria or the Roman Province of Judea. After that, it's an administrative area of various Islamic empires, briefly a crusader state, then a province of the Ottoman Empire, then a British Protectorate which is where the current shape mostly comes from.
You aren't actually asking a simple question.
Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania had their own rullers and did not allow muslims to settle there or build mosks.
not really. Dobruja for example was an important part of the Ottoman Empire and there are still native Tatar Muslims living there today who have their own mosques.
@@mirzabaig17 The biggest mosque in Dobrogea was built by the Romanian government for the tatar Muslims. In exchange, our tatar Muslims integrated very good in the Romanian society, including most of them eating pork. They are the ones who actually help us and protect us from radical islam movements.
Dobrogea was always a special case in our history and yes, Dobrogea was actually part of the Ottoman empire, not like the other provinces. That means what I said was not an accident, it confirms my comment.
after concurring south Caucasus and northern Iran it was re-concurred by Iran in the beginning of 17th century
so you forgot to update the map..
Im here because the teacher told us to watch this to reviise foe the exam
This isn’t a good video if you want to pass.
Trying to figure out why the Ottoman Empire was not called a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire?
It was. The Ottoman sultan called himself "Sultan al Rum". Rum means Rome. So they saw themselves as the continuation of that.
People from Turkey were called "Rumi" (from Rome) like the famous sufi poet Rumi.
But the west only saw them as a muslim empire
A different dynasty. A different language. A conquest. A different religion.
A major historical shift, in essence.
But historians do discuss and research the ways in which the Ottomans did, partly, continue to carry on elements of the Eastern Roman Empire.
It's also important to acknowledge that the Greek nation and, in some ways, the Bulgarians can claim to be heirs to that tradition. Furthermore, Moscow soon claimed to be the real inheritors of "Rome"
So .. yes. Ottoman. That's the accepted historical term in English. Historians try to avoid biasing or explicitly political terminology, at least when possible.
ottoman rulers were title hunters back than, they first started as Khagans, then became Sultans, followed by Padishah & caliph and Kaiser of Rome
Not as a continuation, but we can talk about "incorporating" it. Sultan Mehmet II introduces himself as both sultan and "kaiser of Rome."
Can i have the hat please?
This ottoman is a little bit wrong. North african borders (libya) were bigger than that.
I mean straight lines never existed in borders back then so alot was wrong

there,s quite a few inaccuracies
Are you cry 😂
If so, please elaborate.
People who know any inaccuracies should comment them (and maybe even give a way to research it). I do not know enough about this subject, so I think it would be helpful to work together to clear anything up.
As a turk it was nice to watch. We have a great history of course there are some points I could never agree with but it's still good to see that important marks were mentioned in 20 min. Respect 😊 The greatest part is and will always be the end of it. With our founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Our greatest Leader, our father 🙏🏾🇹🇷
Skanderbeg kept these nomadic barbarians from the steppes of Central Asia in check for well over 30 years. Ironically, one mosquitoe tic was able to accomplish what an ottoman army of 100,000 could not.
😂 what a romantic dreamer. Ottomans have been having such big and vital wars everywhere and did not even concentrate on that lil traitor called iskender bey. Remember, your hero, Iskender, was only an ottoman officer, a slave of Sultan. If he was man enough to fight ottomans head on, even 10 jannisaries would have slaughtered him and his entire army.
yeah nice romanticism... however it ended up Albania becoming muslim.

The fall of Constantinople of Byzantine Emperor and the invent of Ottoman Empire is the start of European Traders expansion to India, which resulting the Portuguese Trade start at India from 1498 and after that 1608 East India Company who initially start to trade but they proved themselves in future the biggest imperial trading Company of world, not only that they become most powerful largest colonial rule of world. This emerging power of colonial rule is the reason why ottoman empire declined. The British imperial power, French imperial power, dutch imperial power, Portuguese imperial power and the rest of all imperial powers of colonial rule are emerging their power and started World War.

Not a word about portuguese wars against the turks
Because the Portuguese wars were a minor detail for the Ottomans, a secondary enemy that was not given much importance.
there is so much to include in this short documentary till you get to the Portuguese 'wars'.
Jeeez, if this was a movie it would get bad ratings because the story is too hard for the audience to follow 🤣
It is not coincidental that ds Oct 29 marks Turkey centennial as a republic... with d current state of affairs in the Middle East. Living n biblical times 👍

The way you're saying Byzantine is driving me nuts 🤦♂️
How do you say it?
The Ottomans was Greek muslims mixed with Khazars.
okay greek boy 😂
