Not gonna lie Mehmet disicion of making his father lead the army's instead of trying to prove himself
is the most big brain disicion in the history of desicions
@Yorgunbei There is a lot of dispute regarding what actually happened. Some say Mehmet was the one who forced his father, some say Candarli forced Mehmet to do so.
Mehmet asked his father to take over the lead, but his father refused in the beginning. Then he said, if you do not listen to me as your son, i order you as the sultan to lead the army, thats when his father took the lead

Never disturb a retired sultan.
Hahaha, 👍
Murad retired because the Ottomans and the crusaders had a truce after the 1st war, he retired because he thought his borders were secured. After hearing that Murad retired, Polish & Hungarian king Wladyslav broke the truce and began a new offensive. It is said that, after the battle Murad ordered his men to behead Wladyslav's corpse and put his head onto a pike and stick it to the Ottoman-Hungarian border alongside the previous peace treaty; implying that this would be the end if they dishonor their previous agreements.
That's when Europa universalis commence
Indeed!
@nikolai bahtin i think because it was made an buffer state
@nikolai bahtin Well when the Christians started their "crusade" they liberated a large part of it, the Ottomans couldn't really administrate it and thus it's made independent (and also to just purely add to the game, balance and things like that, not fully historical but not wrong either imo)

Murat was superior commander. Like historican Hummer says prove that “The first ten Ottoman Sultans were genius. He is right. The video did not mentioned that When Murat heard chrisrians coming he was in anatolia and fighting with Karamans. He quickly moved to Balkan but He got a problem;he did not have any ship to cross bosphorus. He dealt with Genoveses he pay to Genove 1 gold for 1 his soldier to cross europian side and He paid 40k gold for this. To sum up Nicopolis and Varna battles were crucial important in the Ottoman history. They were not simple battles though they were survival of the Ottoman existence.
english?
@@Cba409 learn it. it is neccessary.
Thanks for the information.
However, your English grammar is a little bit messed up.
For example not putting the English word "The" in certain sentences.
Yes - Italian people at this time didn't like Hungary and Poland. Even if those countries was defending Europe against Islam.
sultans killing their children created the problem. They shouldnt interfere. Selim I overthrow his own dad by force and out of similar fear Suleiman killed 2 of his sons and left the empire to II. Selim never fit to rule in any way.
Eventually after Suleiman, Sokollu Mehmet Pasa (a serbian devshirme named Bajica) ruled the empire. He was a great statemen, he conquered Cyprus and he never forgot his Serbian roots just like many other devshirme statemen. At school, after sultan suleiman's chapter we move on chapter of Sokollu Mehmet Pasa era. Books don't even mention the name of the sultan more than once.
“ What If The Ottoman Empire Was... Really Big? “
Said Suleiman wearing an onion hat.
Litle did he know His empire was bordering Somalia morocco and Persia at the same time
And Selim the Grim.

I'm from Varna. Every year on November 10, we pay tribute to him and his warriors. These days the city has grown and the battlefield has become a residential neighborhood of Varna. It is called Vladislavovo. I recommend those who come to Varna to visit the Park-Museum of Military Friendship-1444. The battle is presented in great detail and exhibits of the battle are on display. We honor King Vladislav III and posthumously call him "Varnenchik" or translated, it means Vladislav III of Varna
Do you pay respect to the Ottomans as well?

"If u r the Sultan lead the army. If I'm the Sultan, I order u to lead the army."
Checkmate!!
While watching I was looking on Google Earth at the real life battle place. The length of the line of soldiers must have been around 3.5 km. Makes it clear why it was so hard to coordonate and comunicate.
Yes indeed. From now on i will put the length of the battle in the video
@@Knowledgia it would be great.
we usually tend to ignore it but the length of the cartaginian army's retreat in cannae, or of seljuks in manzikert was huge.
cartaginians covered a good deal of distance, to lure the romans to their trap.
after driving roman cavalry away, their cavalry had to rest before joining the hannibal to encircle the roman legions.
byzantines and turks started with roughly 4 kilometres apart from each other, and turks kept retreating the whole day until evening.
it also means that those infantrymen following horse archers are really badass strongmen. not to mention they fought along the way.
without having a sense of distances, one can never have a better sense of a battle.
keep up the good work, and we are awaiting!
in the ottoman army, there were special units (name of the unit: jannisary çavuş) only assigned to inform the sultan what was happening in each flank. they continuously moved on and brought information, which was very useful.
As always an excellent video!
The fact that it’s free to watch...thank you for all the effort you guys put in this video!
We learned today that you should not break peace treaties. At the Battle of Varna Turks were fighting under standard of Sultan Murad with the broken treaty nailed to it.

If the audience wants it, we will continue
Murad II and his father, Mehmed I(Çelebi), are the greatest personalities in Turkish history. Without them, the Ottoman Empire would collapse Although they are not known much compared to other Ottoman sultans, they are the touchstone of the Ottoman.

I love everything about this. Everything. Especially how interested and enthusiastic you sound about the topic. Everything BUT the way you say papal. It’s pronounced PAY-PULL. Other than that, fantastic work!
I was going to comment the same thing, immediately pulled my attention away. Sipahi was a little off too but much closer
It is pronounced oddly because it is a computer generated voice. If you listen to the older videos, they are narrated with a gentleman with a thick accent and many complained about that as well.... So this was a happy medium.

@@Euzuner41 and here comes the turkish ignorant to make stupid jokes, bruh.
The winged hussars were an heavy model of the common hussars, the normal hussars were the polish cavalry in the Late Medieval period that used Hit n Run tactics. The winged hussars are a heavy cavalry version of the hussars, but with wings and more armor.
The only thing that the poles taken from the ottomans was the use of the wings. The deli cavalry was light cavalry with almost no armor. Even the early polish hussars had more armor than the Deli cavalry
@@WILLIAN_1424 yeah when ı say "winged hussars copy of deli cavalry" I was talking about copying wings too
but in reality theyre like sipahis
@@Euzuner41 the diference is that the sipahi dont used as much armor and used not only lances, maces and swords but also bows, while the winged hussars used loads of armor, maces, lances, swords and pistols.
And the sipahis used more light mail armor, while the winged hussars used heavy plate armor, and wings, of curse.
Waow. I watched it without breating 17mins30secs. This was awesome, more exciting than anything. Cheers!

Because this is not a neutral channel
Never underestimate an Ottoman.
Because of the naval blockade, the crusaders did not expect the Anatolian army to come up in Europe. Rumours say that Genovean merchants sailed the Ottoman army to Europe for one gold per soldier.
The difference now is muslims are disunited and betrayal is common while Christians are strongly united under the EU and NATO alliance
Muslim's wasn't united in 1444, Ottomans wasn't that big yet but still powerful.
Turkey is also in the nato alliance
@Malik Ahmad Jannisaries didnt exist yet -_-
Also Jannisaries was a small elite corpse. Mostly defending the palace/sultan and in wartime dealing the final blow after the Sipahi and Deliler attacked and weakened the enemie. See the Sipahi as Commando and Deliler as special forces. And Jannisaries morelike special forces but with very close ties to the Sultan because their main mission was defending the sultan. They did not involve in war until the very end of it. They where elite educated professionals in fighting and anything else.
@Malik Ahmad but still it was good and they were happy too
@R K not only the Arabs. Also the Turks betrayed Ottoman empire and Armenians and Greek people. If you going to put everyone in 1 group cause their origins then do it good. It was Ittihat ve Teraki which weakened the sultan position most wich afterwards lead to betrayal of several nations

13:00 that is not retreat by the Ottomans its called faint retreat to lure the enemy in your ranks and then outflank them.
*Feigned, but yes you're right, there's an important distinction that should be made between the two. I believe the Mongols were the first group of people to employ this on a large; coordinated scale weren't they? I wonder if the Turks, since they were Turkish nomads on the steppes of West Asia at one point (and thus were heavily involved/influenced by the Mongol Empire/culture/tactics/etcetera for quite a while, no doubt), learned/incorporated those tactics or if they developed it themselves.
@@lastmanstanding-xp3ub Feigned yes indeed ! The Turkic armies were the first ones to apply this tactic even before the Mongols, ref => Xiangnou and the Gokturk empire. By the way the Mongol Army was majority Turkic anyway !
Thx for this video, even meny othert channels have videos about this battle..!
Can yopu plz make video about Didgori battle? How much would it cost to make one video like this?
Good call, Mehmed. Good call!
Well it’s absolutely true that even small decisions have big consequences what if mehmed like Vladislav should decided to lead troops despite being inexperienced the battle could have been. A defeat since he was young and inexperienced
Mehmed II seemed pretty intelligent. That was pretty compelling: "If you're the sultan, come lead your armies. If I am the sultan, I command you to come lead my armies..." What was the story with the cannon maker who built the cannons that took down the Theodosian walls? Something like he offered his services to the Hungarians (or he _was_ a Hungarian) and they turned him down but Mehmed II accepted. I wonder how different history would have been if someone else would have hired the cannon maker...
And it's crazy how many stories there are like this in history - an older, experienced commander gives an order that, if followed, would almost definitely lead to a victory but a younger, inexperienced commander - often in a higher position of power like a king or prince - with a hot head and wanting glory for themselves, defy the order, fall into a position or trap that the older commander expected and that leads to a major loss and often the entire army being wiped out. It's like, even if you significantly outrank them, if they have vastly more experience than you, you might want to listen to them. Like how lieutenants fresh out of college will often listen to the advice of sergeants who have worked their way up even though they outrank them. Pretty common-sensical.

How did the little tribe of the Ottomans that was plaueged whit Brother fights for the trone conquered all thies great powers east,west was just unbelieveble.
The Crussaders,Byzantines,Great Serbian Tsaardom,Bulagrian despots,venetians,Franks from the west,the Karamanides Great Beylok,the Great Memuluks,the Armenia chiefthens,Kurdish Kingdoms from the East,.. but this little Tribe of Osman Won them all.
When it comes to Southeastern Europe, the majority of internet "historians" are traditionally fixated on the East Roman Empire, and ignore the fact that the said Empire hasn't boasted a dominant role in SE Europe from the 1200s and onward, the state that did, in fact, boasts the dominant role was the Medieval Serb state, whether in the form of the Serbian Empire, Lazar's Serbia and the Serbian Despotate, the said state was the preeminent enemy of the Ottoman Empire in SE Europe and the preeminent bulwark against the Ottoman Empire with the largest flatland fortress in Europe, waging war against the Ottomans for more or less 100-140 years, depending on whether one identifies Zeta as the final iteration of the Medieval Serb State. Considering the massive territory liberated in the first year of the Varna Crusade, it is more than apparent that the Serb and Hungarian, not Polish leadership were instrumental in the matter, and both, due to generation-spanning experience in waging war against the Ottomans, understood that after these triumphs and the events in Anatolia (invasion of the Ottoman Empire by either the Karamanids or the Aydinids), the Ottomans were in a dire position, and could not retake lost territories, and would agree to all terms of negotiation, and they did at Szeged, but Polish, East Roman and the Vatican geopolitical aspiration triumphed over reason, and they pushed for the furthering of the Varna Crusade (thus turning triumph into defeat), instead of consolidating their positions against the Ottomans, as Hunyadi and Brankovic had advised.
Furthermore, Branković had a much larger interest in the peace treaty and solicited Hunyadi's support. He demanded that Serbia be returned to him, and he bribed Hunyadi by promising him the land he held in Hungary. On July 3, 1444, the lordship of Világosvár was transferred, in perpetuity, to Hunyadi. Around the same time, as additional security, the estates of Mukačevo, Baia Mare, Satu Mare, Debrecen, and Böszörmény were also transferred, and Hunyadi became the largest landowner in the Kingdom. There is another reason for this, Brankovic understood that a Hungary dominated by Hunyadi and his progeny would be a vital asset and ally to the Serb state, and to Hungary itself. He was proven right, the rule of Corvinus speaks volumes on the matter.

it was his first time rule, the second time he become sultan again at the age of 19 and capture Constantinople at the age of 21
@@asmrnaturecat984 wow
12 years old is almost puberty. , but he memorize the whole Al-Quran very early which is rare among muslim and involve around scholars and military tactician. He is famous for never miss a 5 times/day prayer and every single day he wake up late the night do other special prayer. Never miss. His discipline in worship to Allah Almighty is the one strong factor they conquer constantinople eventho the previous ruler before him do attempt but fail.
@@zeemazm no wonder why the prophet peace be upon him said that the conqueror of constantinople would be a great commander
Mehmet is a special sultan,speaking 7 language
Please do more battle videos!!!
at 10:00 there is a huge inaccuracy: Brankovic did not participate in the Crusade of Varna!!! He had accepted the peace offered by Murad II (and he actually prevented Skanderberg from joining the Crusaders)
John Hunyadi (Romanian Ioan de Hunedoara )
Hunyadi adopted the Hussite method of using wagons for military purposes. He employed professional soldiers, but also mobilized local peasantry against invaders. These innovations contributed to his earliest successes against the Ottoman troops who were plundering the southern marches in the early 1440s. Although defeated in the battle of Varna in 1444 and in the second battle of Kosovo in 1448, his successful "Long Campaign" across the Balkan Mountains in 1443-44 and defence of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár) in 1456, against troops led personally by the Sultan established his reputation as a great general. (Wikipedia)
Didn't know he fought in the Battle of Varna, 'cause they don't teach proper history in school. Too bad , if they just listen to him.
Great video.
Byzantium: I still have Constantine and no one can take him from me
II Mehmed: This province can look nice as a capital. Hey, I think I'll take it
*And takes Constantine and renames to istanbul*
It wasnt named to istanbul after the siege, it was named to istanbul in 1930 under Kemalist rule, it was Konstantiniyye after the siege, the reason it became istanbul is; Mustafa Kemal Atatürk wanted to use a Turkish name if im not wrong.
@@vapingcat5406 It had quite a few names in official use under the Ottomans actually. Yes it continued to be called Konstantiniyye but Istanbul was also used way before 1930. Mehmed himself named it Islambol meaning "full of Islam" to signify its new role as a capital of an Islamic Empire.
@@JanissaryJake That İslambol is just religious fantasy. Never happened as more than half of the city was Orthodox. It was named after "Stan Poli" meaning "to the city" It was used because of its easier pronunciation.
Please put up at the end of the video numbers for strenght and losses for each army, if you can find sources, of course.
Did you lift the video's commentary from the wiki article?
Next day EU 4 starting day
One Turkish Empire defeated almost all europan states in one battle. That's what it's called victory
That's exaggerating lol
@@nickmalgus5626 Not exaggerating at all. The Ottomans inflicted a damage on the europeans so heavy that some of them refused to support Byzantine during the siege of Constantinople. They didn't wanna fuck with them again.
The vid is overstating. Only the countries in the immediate region directly threatened by the Turks were involved in Varna.
What difference does it make if an army was ethnically homogenous?
@@DarthPlato It is hard to fight with people you can't speak or trust.
Yessir
Los subtítulos, colega, los subtítulos. Pierdes un chorro de visionados por no ponerlos, y tus vídeos valen la pena, mucho.
Wasn't the battle so bloody it took days for them to realise they'd actually won?
Yes the ottomans had big losses too.
@@Knowledgia For real bro?

It is a nice made up story of hungarians to console themselves :D
@@egbi475 the Ottoman right was getting destroyed, he's not making it up. Battle could've gone either way if the Hungarian-Polish king didn't fuck up.
