1. "That made the war inevitable" t-shirts: bit.ly/2S9bxMX
2. The beyliks in Anatolia are a big, fat, never-going-away problem. Multiple sources describe their history and diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, Mamluks, and Safavids differently, so I am happy we don't need to deal with them anymore.
3. In general, sources for this period are a mess. For instance, Iranian and Azerbaijani sources claim that Qara xan won a battle against the Ottomans in the Eastern Anatolia, the Turkish sources claim that the Ottomans won it, while the Arab sources assert that Ismail didn't send anyone to help the Mamluks. One of the sources even claims that the Ottomans and the Safavids signed a peace treaty in 1515, while others vehemently reject that idea and assert that the war continued until 1555.
4. The same goes for the battles of the Ottoman-Mamluk War. They are a mess - numbers, tactics, details.
5. I wonder if there is an interest for an episode on the Safavid-Portuguese war, which was happening simultaneously.

I’m sure there is interest, just make a video and everyone will watch
Im sure everyone will be interested in any content you guys came up with :D
Will there soon be videos about Napoleonic wars? I mean, I ask because that series is going veeery slowly.
The Ottoman Sultan must've been hacking.. you can't annex the Mamluks instantly because it costs too much warscore!
TTT135 Seriously, whenever I play as the Ottomans, even with cheats it’s too difficult to expand as much as the Ottoman Empire expanded in real life.
The Ottomans were the first hackers in history and I love it.
Ilker G so is that how they beat the Byzantines? Then did they DDOS Hungary?
It might make sense
They just made peace and instantly broke truce and declared war again, everyone was too afraid to form a coalition against them until later on.

It's mostly because he covered Mongols before that, most times the envoys were killed, no repercussions followed.
@@Vitalis94 It usually wasn't smart though. Killing envoys just meant you'd get less information from the battlefield. Hardly serves much purpose other than to send a message.
I guess Mamluks killed Mongol Envoys before battle of Ain Jalut but still won

We need a "The sources are conflicting" t-shirt as well.
i wonder how much of history we are told are facts. As one would generally get different versions of any eye witnessed incident(small or large) by different people. Also humans being biased sometimes even without realizing is very common.
I think human bias is unavoidable. Even attempting to understanding bias has not helped us reducing them as we are all emotional and cling to the side that we believe are right. In some of K&G videos alone, we already saw so much disagreements and rages over events of thousand years ago, one cannot imagine how hard it is to be objective and fair-judged for all sides as a contemporary.
But that's exactly why we need conflicting sources. Because from the sea of conflicts, we see both contradictions and overlaps. And through these conflicts, we see what makes sense and what isn't. Maybe even through careful examination, some of the stories are still lies. But these lies will be slowly filtered and filtered out through further examination, real-life application and the power of common sense. Even the best lie can't stand the test of thousand years and of thousand historians.
So I am not really worried about whether the history we are taught is fact (Even if it isn't, there is no one who can claim so anyway). As long as conflicting sources emerge itself and went through careful examination of tens of generations, the truth will emerge.
And another one, "STOP. KILLING. THE ENVOYS!"
Honestly, this one felt borderline absurd. Missing (or inventing) entire Persian army? In XVI century? During a major war, resulting in, allegedly, a battle?
Someone really dropped the ball at the time.
When Selim The Stern died Pope said “The Lion is dead The Sheep is on the throne” but there was a bigger problem because “Sheep” was Suleiman The Magnificent
Başar Ercan The pope was hoping that an incompetent ruler would finaly lead the Ottomans but he had no idea.
Sike thats the wrong sultan
The Lion was dead but new Sultan was A Tiger
lol reminds me of the Greek world celebrating the death of Philip II thinking they'd be able to regain their independence with a young king on the throne.
Suleiman is the starter of fall of the empire with Hurrem leading the way. Mustapha should be the next leader to conquer Vienna and that would be the end of Holy Roman empire which leads the way for a new red apple like Paris or London. But instead sari selim came to power who is a total disrespect to his grandfather Selim the first. Hurrem was a great agent of crusaders i always believe. She managed to stop ottomans and made the empire decline putting many christian descendants into governmental positions. May Allah put Selim the first and other conqueror sultans into eternal heaven.

@@haciahmetozturk8140 Heard he was planning to but he died before he could
Actually this proverb is from Persian poet; Saadi Shirazi (1210-1292), which those days his books (Gulistan and Bustan) were kids formal educational books, from India to Anatolia.
Europe and Iran: "Oh thank god Selim's gone"
Suleiman: Oh you poor sweet summer children
In fact, Suleiman could not win a war against Iran, and we drove them out of our lands.
True; he DID take Iraq from Shah Tamasp, but simply couldn't take Iran itself;once again a Persian Fabian strategy paid off after initial defeats.
The Persians lost many battles, but when the Persians started to avoid battle, the Turks wound up losing 30,000 men from starvation and thirst. Even when Suleiman tried to get Tamasp's brother Alqas Mirza to lead a rebellion, no Persian joined him and Alqas was imprisoned.
@@Tareltonlives oh really!?
Tahmaseb defeated Suleiman and his commanders Ebrahim Pasha, Eskandar Pasha, and Sinan Pasha for four times.Please read the history without intent.
In any case, why should the Iranian people have helped Alghas Mirza, who had taken refuge in the Ottoman Empire!?
He was a traitor and deserved to die.

Can you make a video about "Barbarossa" Hayreddin Pasha? He started as a pirate with his brothers, took almost all North Africa and gifted to the sultan and became the governor and Admiral of Ottoman Navy (which was the only time Ottomans were actually powerful at sea)
Or better yet make a video about him and his biggest rival Italian Andrea Doria. They were the greatest sailors and admirals of their times and their rivalry literally shaped history
Barbarossa was one of the best naval commanders of history for sure
You should really make a video about Barbarossa's great rivaly with the famed English sailor "Jack Sparrow". Their great rivalry is definitely worth a video!
Jokes aside, Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha is really a man to admire. Imagine starting out as a low level pirateer, rising to the rank to command a fleet of pirates, conquering most of North Africa and then rising to hold one of the 5 most powerful ranks in the Ottoman Empire during its prime. Now that's definitely worth a video...
I think, we will do!

Ottomans formed armies of 100k people against small kingdoms of europe . But the Ottomans build a army of 50-60k people against very powerful Mamelukes.numbers in wars in Europe could be exaggerated in sources
Mamlukes were not weak

@@artoruvidal2793 Just wait for what's gonna happen for Hungary mate
@@selimgehayev8766 by the time the ottoman mamluk wars arrived, the mamluks were close to collapse.
@@fatihsaidduran Yes. Hungarians had cannons, gunpowder units, heavy cavalry, and they were defeated. ( I note, however I think they underestimated the Ottomans.)
Sultan Selim is probably my favorite of the Ottoman Sultans. By conquering the Mamluks, he managed to turn the Ottomans from a great power to a super power.
Its also of note that, 4 centuries after his conquest, a ship would be named after him which would change middle east and world politics forever: The German battle-cruiser Goeben, escaping allied patrols in the Mediterranean, was given over to the Ottomans and renamed the Yavuz Sultan Selim; this would lead to the Ottomans joining the central powers in ww1, leading to the death knell of the empire and the redrawing of the map of the middle east.
though its important to note that bad actors used the ship in the ottoman name despite the sultan and other important figures wanting no part in the great war.

Ottomans were never a superpower.
After beating the Crusaders and the Mongols, the Mamluks were finally defeated by the Ottomans.

@@jawadshafi2747 ?
@@jawadshafi2747 Brotherly infighting was totally normal in that time, especially in Ottoman era
Main reason behind the fall of Ottomans was inconsistent and unskilled sultans who took the throne in 18-19th centuries. Mehmed II the Conqueror, Selim I the Grim and his son Suleiman I the Magnificent were ahead of their times. They were great rulers with a high battlefield control. It was unlucky that Ottomans couldn't have a sultan as skilled as these ones. Sad.
Because Suleiman killed the strong Prince Mustafa so the empire was left to be ruled by the other son, Selim II the drunkard, who produced even weaker offspring as well who were influenced by the women around them. So during these times the Ottomans stopped evolving and eventually the Europeans surpassed them.
Grace Kelly exactly!
Suleiman The Magnificent 🗿🗿🗿🍷🍷
thought it was more so the inability to adapt to modern weapons making them lag behind, mainly due to corruption.
dont forget murad 4 he arguably has same potential as them by cleansing ottoman from corruption,threachery,rebellion, and bribes also reconquering baghdad under age of 30
The Safavid Shah must have been in shock, as his most powerful potential ally was devoured in a single conquest
Mamluk Sultanate was the first country that call itself Turkey (They didn't call themselves mamluk, which means slave). The official name was "ed-Devletü't-Türkiyye" meaning "The country Turkey". Unlike Ottomans, they were also using Turkic names, such as Tuman bay.
Up
Baybars is kıpchak Turks yes true
Wait... So the Ottomans defeated the first Turkey in history? Now I'm really confused! Is that treachery, or a civil war, or what? It sounds like madness! What side are modern Turks on, then? The side of the first Turkey, or on the side of the Ottomans? How confusing! Conflicting loyalties, much?

Could you do a video on how the Shia vs Sunni split arose (or at least the conflicts it created and why)? I don't know if it fits the mood of the channel but it seems like a very significant part of Islamic history, that frankly, I don't understand and know all too little about. I thought it would be interesting to learn about it.
If I recall well, it was about choosing one caliphate over another right?
Anyway, great video as usual K&G!
Boqoreh just little correction the ummayid dynasty was at that time ruled by yazid the first son of Mouawya and not him as the latter died before already. Also it is most important that shiite faith become more of an ideological symbol because the persians who were under harsh and corrupt rule throughout most of the era of the ummayads saw shiism as the antagonist to the ummayyads who were sunnis and arabs that is why the hardline factions and figures of shias are persians whereas those of the sunnis are arabs and some neo nationalists in the middle east mainly in the gulf and iraq are actually siding with these hardline figures and mouvements as they began to consider that the conflict between sunnis and shias is not just for hegemony in the middle east but also for cultural supremacy and historical pride.
Sources on that conflict are messy as hell and K&G would just bring a flame war on themselves since it involves very holy people in Islam (Ali, Aisha, and other Sahaba)
Talk about opening a big hornet's nest
Shia is not Islam. They have strayed so far from Islam's foundation and teaching, that they are not anymore.
@@BoqPrecision Thank you for the great information. I've learned a lot from it. I am now even more convinced it would be a fascinating, although "dangerous", topic to cover.
@@totalwartimelapses6359 I definitely agree with that and I understand why they wouldn't want to risk it. I just think it would be interesting and that people should treat as history as anything else. Plus, they have discussed "problematic" topics in the past (anything including the Turks really...).
While watching this series I have gained so much respect for the Ottomans, God damn they had enemies, left, right, center, above and below and they still managed to do so much.
@@AntonNb lol in 1900 ottoman was dead empire if you still think like that you can look at the 1923 turks
Ottomans were a super state! From a tent to an empire! Ottomans will revive in another form! They are alive!! Not dead! Theur grandchildren ruling Turkey today!
@@alihanyalcn7073 They were near-dead at that point because they lost support of the Muslim world (for various reasons and not always justifiably) and were forced into an alliance with the weaker Christian faction.
@@bilalbadar1438 with or without support of muslims Ottomans were weak in 1800 or 1900 because empire lost the technologicial war. You can not win a war against battleships or tanks with caliphate flag
@@alihanyalcn7073 That had more to do with the Western powers colonizing various parts of the world, rather than any perceived technological weakness on the part of the Ottomans. After all, there would be no industrialization without slave labour and the influx of stolen raw materials.
Selim was unusual character in Ottoman History. He act like his ancestors who ruled steppes many years ago. He captured the throne when his father Bayazid alive and he destroyed two powerful dynasty in 2 years. But in his reign too much rebellion appeared. In my opinion he was great commander but not a good politician like his ancestors. It is possible the say that if his reign continue he could capture Vienna. But Empire would be collapsed after his reign like in Attila’s or Alexander’s empire. Suleiman took the throne exactly right time. After his death, his son Suleiman ruled 46 years. He stabilized territories which are taken by Selim and Ottoman Empire ruled these lands till 1914 thanks to Suleiman the Magnificent. Father and son they completed each other. This harmony between Suleiman and Selim, was also unusual in world history.
But he massacred the Turkic steppe tribes who recently came to Anatolia, just because of their views on Islam was different because of their steppe (Tengrism) way of life. Bektashis and Alevis were the ones who preserving the Turkic steppe tradition and culture and beliefs within the Bektashi belief. Ahiler who helped the establishment of the Ottomans were Bektashi, founders of the Ottomans were Bektashi, even they made the foreign devşirmes, the Janissaries Bektashi. Mehmed the Conqueror was loving to listen all *Sufi* philosophical views and respected them, including Bektashis and Alevis. Sufism is the Turkic or Turkish Islam and views like Nakshbendi, Bektashi were also Turkic beliefs which preserved the old Tengrist way of life and mixed it with Sufist Islam. Ahmed Yesevi, Hoja Dehhani, Haji Bektash Veli, Mevlana Jelaleddin Rumi were some of those Turkic sufis. My tribe Varsak was one of them, Karacaoğlan's tribe, Karacaoğlan was also Sufi, Yunus Emre was Sufi, all Anatolian Turkic tribes were believers of various Sufi views. Mehmed the Conqueror chose a heir but that heir couldn't make it, his name was Cem Sultan, his other son Bayezid II was radical pious Orthodox Muslim who couldn't tolerate the Turkic views in Islam (and he was criticizing his father because his father loved Sufism) and Selim I was his son, although they didn't like each other and Selim I (the Grim) dethroned his father (because he was criticizing his father because he thought that his father was too soft to Cem Sultan crisis and was too soft to Turkic Sufi views and he thought the Safevid Islam, the Shia Islam was one of those Turkic Sufi views but it was not), both father Bayezid and son Selim were admirers of Arabic Islam which was/is not very tolerated and not very Turkic (merciful), the Turkic tribes massacres are unfortunately true and even the Ottomanist Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı doesn't deny it.
Karaus But we can say that Safavid Sultanete especially in Ismael term, support Bektashis and Alevis for battering Ottomans after that as you say The Grim deserved his name with no doubt. I think we should not evaluate past with today’s conditions. There were two great empire one of them is Shia other one is Sunni. Both of them supported minorities of their enemies, both of them massacred people because they wanted to close their gap against enemy. My point which in my comment is Selim’s character more than religious or believes.
Another point was Mehmed the Conqueror and his sons, Cem was too passionate even more than his father because his father was a logical man also. His passions threw him to mistake series, but I can not comment on tolerancy because I don t know his opinions about Bektashis or Sufis or Alevis.
I wanted to add that Bayazid saved Jews from Spain, I think his opinions about Bektashis and Alevis were just political because these two situations for a radical pious orthodox Muslim definiton do not fit each other. May be he was inconsistent one.
Mehmed the Conqueror generally tolerated all religions in the empire. He was open-minded guy for his age. People called him “Infidel Sultan” because of his statues and pictures. He knew 7 languages and he was too curious to read new things.
The overextension penalty was about to kick in my Suleiman cored the lands just in time.
@@KarausTheReTeller Why don't you tell both sides stories? Instead of telling a one sided story.
Selim didn't kill the Alevi tribes for no reason like you say so. They were rebellious and would've definitely side with the Safavids in case of war(don't forget that they also tried to assassinate sultan Beyazid II) because of the similarities between shia and alevi islam. Selim was a smart general and preemptively stopped it from happening.
You also keep talking on about the Turkic lifestyle and culture but the reality of the situation is that it would've been impossible to keep it alive because of two major reasons:
-Cultures grow by influencing each other, otherwise a culture will stagnate.
-The Turkic culture/lifestyle wasn't going to survive because it was nomadic and when more and more Turks settled down. They learned from the local peoples and the opposite happend to. Turkic culture began to mix with Persian, Anatolian and Greek culture and molded by Ataturk became the modern Turkish culture today.
Also how was Sultan Beyazid II "a radical pious Orthodox Muslim" when he saved the Jews from being killed off in Iberia.
@@kadudeduder5103 Well said.
3 Turkic (or Turkic Dynasty Controlled) States fought against each other. It’s interesting how influential Turkic Dynasties were back then due to their military skills
@پیر الکساندر خان eehh so stupid.. the very word Tumen Bey is Turkish, Kutuz, Baybars, All Turks.. countless leaders generals commanders all Turks it was a Turkic Empire because they were the ruling class ... in the British empire there were more indians too but still its a British empire. educate yourself please..
It's astonishing how quickly the Mamluks fell to the Ottomans. Almost comparable to the fall of the Aztec and Incas to the Spanish during this similar time period where gunpowder changed history.
no it is very diffrent

Trap 4 Days It the Ottomans didn’t have guns they would have had their signature horse archers which eat heavy cav alive.
@@Trap4DaysOfficial selim isnot a dumb he wanted them to come closer to use his cannons he allow them to win early on as it was a bait
@@Trap4DaysOfficial again the weapons played a role in the battle but a much smaller one than the commanders role.
If a less competent commander with more advanced weaponry/army went against an less advanced army with a more competent commander. The less competent one would lose because if he can't use his army or weapons the right way they're useless against a more experienced army.
@@Trap4DaysOfficial it isn't as easy as "t'was the gunz lol"
Awesome work again !!
I learned from it so much. Thanks Kings and Generals !
Great video as always but Kings and Generals you didn't mentioned that Hadim Sinan Pasha was killed in the Battle of Ridanieh 1517, while Selim was in the battlefield Sinan Pasha was in the Ottoman Headquarters and the Mamluks thought that he was Selim so they killed him. After the battle Selim expressed his grief:
"We have won the battle but we have lost Sinan".

One of the official names of Mamluk Sultanate was "Devlet'ul Türkiyye" which is the official name of Turkey in turkish "Türkiye"
you mean "Dawlet Al-Turkiyye" the ul you wrote means "the" in English and it belong to the name Türkiyye not Devlet or Dewlet, also Dewlet means country. so over all it means Country of The Turks, also can be, The Country of the Turks will be written in Arabic like this " Al-Dewlet Al-Turkiyye" the T in the End of the word Dewle means "of" ((country of = dewlet))
This is not true this is no thing but Turkish media this country is Egyptian

Even among Muslims, do you think any country to the east of Safavids really became mad due to the fall of the Mameluksr? Annexing Hungary gave Ottomans more AE in Europe though.
Now just waiting for Suleiman's era.
We'll get there!
@@jerrykeranen813 thats not a Kings and Generals video -__-.
I love ur videos!! They are very informative and beautifully presented! Keep up the great work
Thanks! :-)
Love these, please continue, it makes history come alive.
More on the way!
I wish we can do it in eu4. I can't annex all mamluks before 1650.
Then you are bad at EU 4 if you can't annex the mamlucks by 1650 as the ottomans
@@Panda-ss3zh Maybe, but you definitely can't do it in just a single 3 year war
@@Panda-ss3zh it is impossible to grow as fast as the real ottoman Empirie did in eu4
I normally annexed the entire Mameluks around 1570. Releasing Syria and use its reconquest CB against Mameluks facilitates this process. However, I can't engulf the entire Mameluks in a single war.
@@MrMukmuk25 Before the age of absolutism, the real Ottomans Empire expanded faster than me. Starting from the age of absolutism, I expand faster than the Ottomans in reality, at least for any patch before 1.26. Starting from 1.26 corruption has become a big problem thus I probably have to halt my expansion, not due to combat skills but extra costs from too many territories.
What I find most mind boggling in this series and alike is the number of casualties per battle. When he states these numbers, I have to remind myself that these were men/people/human beings lost in a span of a day/ two. When the winning-side lost over 10,000 men and yet consider the battle a victory is just hard to wrap my mind around.
Always wondered when this video was coming. Great job guys!
It is all planned :)
Excellent video. Thank you!!!!
Selim was a very capable leader man...
IMO this is the only channel that deserves to put sponsors on their videos. Great job as always
Thank you! :-)
Amazing work guys...very informative.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for another great video!
Thank you for watching!
Never seem to see these two fight amongst themselves in EU4 at all...
Napoleon I Bonaparte i didn’t give a shit about the Mamlukes just so I could conquer Vienna and finally realize the Ottoman dream of conquering Europe. Made Tunis my biggest ally and made them fight the Mamlukes. Mamlukes are my vassal now :D
What? In almost every game, the Ottomans end up attacking the Mamluks multiple times, annexing at least Egypt
No, Ottomans would rival Mameluks and attack them in most of my games. Selim in real history just did better than most of the AI and player-controlled Ottomans.
guys he is joking, dont take it seriously. They are 200 years old rivals in eu4 always fighting always ottoman winning.
Sultan Mehmet II The Conquerer
Sultan Selim The Grim
Sultan Suleiman The Magnificent
All lived in a century and destroyed enemies in every direction.
Selim is the one with highest win rate for sure.
Suleiman was somewhat incompetent as after Ibrahim pasha who led Hungarian victories & capture of Iraq, he couldn't conquer anything & his Italian campaign of 1537-38 was a disaster which forced him to not lead a major war again & he was satisfied with laying siege of Hungarian cities who were rebellious. Conquests after 1536 were led by capable naval commanders & on land by capable Sokullu Mehmed Pasha.
AMAZING Video as always. I love this chanel!
Thank you!
this is one of your best videos for me thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Being a diplomat and envoy in these times must've been terrifying.
M waiting for more and more ottoman videos U r done great work thaxks for these videos
Thanks, there will be more!
Perfect one, thanks, guys!
Thank you for watching!
golly gosh, why havent I found you earlier? You are among the best youtubers out there. Keep up your high quality :)
Welcome aboard! :-)
New patreon incoming.
History for life
Excellent work as usual Sir!
Can you make a video about the Göktürk Khaganate?
We gained a lot of knowledge about the Ottomans and the Seljuks, thanks to you guys, but we know very little about the ancestors of those turkish tribes.
It would be very interesting to see how the first Gökturk Khaganate was established and how they clashed with the Sassanids and the Tang Dynasty.
Gökturk Khaganate the forefathers of today's Turks
Their conversion of Islam was one of the key factor in History as it made Islam one of the most powerful and influential religion in the world
I agree with M 46 ! I want to see that ! And the Huns (Xiongnu) too !
Great suggestion! Very obscure topic tho its like finding sources on the white huns and the samaritians lol
@Leo Jansen No. It is quite well known the ancestors of the Turkic groups.
Anatolian+Azerbaijan+Iranian turks are Oghuz (Oğuz) turks. Their earliest name was Töles. They were the most numberous group of all turkic groups. Then they reorganized into 8 Oghuz. Then at last re-organized into 9 Oghuz and they moved to west.
Kyrgyz, Tatar, Kazakh are Kıpchak group.
Sakha, Tuva and Bashkorts are Sibir group.
Great video as always! Still looking forward for a new video of the diadochi.
Thanks, we'll get there!
Congrats on 400k you deserve it
Despite the sources, you’ve done a very great job! My sunday is complete ;)
Thank you. :-)
Love to Ottomans from Persia
You know the ottomans don't exist anymore right? Neither does persia
@@kaas352 Mamluks not exits anymore top but u still watching?
Quality Ottoman and Middle Eastern content from you gets a
Thank you for watching!
I love this chanel so so much , the narration is divine .
Thank you!
I pressed like before seeing the video, many thanks ❤
so basically, the Mamluk slaves were more educated than Europe elites.
Hard to say.
VarietyGamer or peter the reader who burned a library lol
@Kayserili38ification Mamluks were Ghulam. Do you know the meaning of Ghulam? They were just like Khasrazmian Turks, Ghulam of Sammanids. It means slave soldiers or servants.
Educated at what? They were unable to make gunpowder weapons themselves. They were 300 years behind rest of the world. Little Venice was more advanced. Italians were the most educated followed by Germans, Spanish, Ottomans and French. Mamluks in this time period used tactics Ottomans stopped using 200 years earlier. Mamluks were more educated than eastern europeans so pretty close.
If they had existed in 700 AD yes. Not the case any more once you reach the High Middle Ages though. That's from about 1000 AD and onwards btw.
And no, that would absolutely not be the case after the Renaissance...
Iam waiting for Next Vidio about Ottoman war series , and thanks you for Indonesian Subtitle 😊
YESSS THE EPISODE I WAS WAITING FOR
Good!
Thank you very much for share the great video. Respects.
Thank you!
Wiping out perhaps the greatest cavalry unit in the world at the time using superior technology and clever maneuvering is something only a young Ottoman Empire could've pulled off.
Too bad they declined a few centuries down the line by being beaten at their own game
@Cenk Tüneygök
The death of the prince Mustafa was bad
But Mustafa III during the Russo-turkish wars was a man who deeply understood that a reform needed to take place within the ottoman military
His son Selim III tried to spearhead these reforms but was imprisoned and assasinate by the Jannisaries who wanted to keep their power
They held back the empire by assassinating and placing puppet sultans on the throne for years
By the time they were deposed reforming the empire was too late
Europe was on the brink of industrialisation and was far ahead of the ottoman empire
@Вхламинго
It's not Islam that was to blame, though. Islamic nations promoted and positively contributed to Science too.
It was the Janissaries who hated to lose power and resisted any reforms in fear of losing it.
It's like blaming the Crisis of the Third Century on Greco-Roman Mythology instead of the corrupt Praetorian Guard that ruined it
Sultan Selim captured a huge treasure and wealth after destroying the Mamluks and said, “Whoever fills the treasure of the state as much as I do, let the treasure be sealed with his seal. If it fails to fill it, let the treasure be sealed with my seal forever. '' The Ottoman State treasury was sealed with Selim's seal until the collapse of the state.
Great video...Thank you
one of the best CZcams channel, congratulations
Thank you!
Can we have armies and tactics video for Ottomans?
You will, eventually
@@KingsandGenerals After 2 year still waiting..
So quickly and effectively they brought down the Mamluks, they had no rival in their day. Despite at one time being surrounded by enemies.
I was really eager to watch your video about mamluk/ottoman wars , great video as usual :D , now waiting for suliman the magnificent :D :D
Awesome videos, awesome narrator, awesome voice. Perfect.
Thank you!
The turks moto : Your land is my land!!!
Rizki Anggoro name 1 empire that didn’t think that way
@@TurquazCannabiz there is no empire that didnt think that way, it is just a joke because the turks were literally everywhere from china, central asia, persia, caucassus, anatolia, and the levant. You can find many empire and kingdom ruled by them in that area.
@@yanelabdelkader8186 if i speak about the british, america, and china, i think my comment will be out of context from the video. The video were talking about the ottoman which is a turkish dinasty. I doesnt have any intention to bring a hate comment.
Russia 1922: * Looks at caucasus and central asia * - "'Your land?' hm? It is *o u r* land now comrade!"
*Earrape soviet anthem starts playing*
@@cakapcakep241 @ilker G: Rizki comment is neither complimentary nor demonizing. It's an objective truth during that time. Look at the battles bw. the political powers controlling Iranian lands (i.e. Persia), Arab lands Iraq, Syra and Hicaz and Egypt all three dynasties (Safavids, Mamluks and Ottomans) are Turks. Although in this video, current Mamluk dynasty is called a Circassian one toppled the Turkic previous dynasty, the last sultan Tomanbay has definitely a Turkic name.
the Mamluks knew about guns 60 years before the ottomans but they never used them cause it will require a complete change to the armies and would turn the army to all-infantry army and they thought that using guns is something that cowards would do. look how that turned out for them
and nice video btw
keep up the good work
Yeh, conservatism is not always protective, even sometimes path to the destruction. "that is what cowards would do" argument is void, the problem was extreme conservatism and still is for some cases today. Think about it, let assume guns for cowards then bows and arrows, ballistas are for cowards as well, hadn't memluks use them ever? Didn't they wear armor and used shield(which are not clothes of bravery for sure).
yeah agree with all of you
in the comment section of this very video i can see some saying that the ottomans empire was a gun powder empire, even im not a fan of the ottomans i see they did whats best-served their goals
and what about current great power countries? can we call them Napalm empires? everyone uses what is best for him, we cant deny that thing for the ottomans and be happy when our countries do the same
Welcome to modern warfare. Frontal Calvary charge to guns got what you deserved. It appeared that the Mamluks spent too much time on the beach and did not study warfare development. So Ottoman's success was not a fluke, they mastered combined armed tactics with disciplined troops.
@Soundwave 47 They didn't use guns because the Mamluks were heavier, more armed and they barricaded themselves from enemy arrows. They also fought and demolished many armies which used guns and cannons. The chest plates and helmets worn by the Mamluks were also intense that it was almost impossible for a bullet to penetrate through them.
I wish he made alternative history videos like instead of going to east going to West like Italy like Fatih the MEhmed 1 planned...
You guys are awesome! Best channel in youtube
Thanks!
This channel is a gold mine we are lucky
Mamluks and ottomans how can my day be more goood than this
Selim and the Ottomans really knew how to use gunpowder well while on the other hand the Mamluks relied to much on their cavalry and only renewed their army when it was to late.
Anyway, a great episode as always Kings & Generals.
@Lord Alehandro thank you and I fixed it.
@@MohamedKhaled-ub3ie they did Muhammad ali pasha in 1805
thank you for the video. i love that song at the end, "uskudara gideriken" great choice
Yes, a perfect fit.
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
i stopped watching Darksider 3 gameplay just 2 watch this documentary because its about the ottomans wars
Thanks :-) I am kinda excited for that game :-)
I like what you did in 8:13 when you visualized the battle. Looking at the overall strategy is fine, but seeing it firsthand shows the stakes of the battle.
Thank you for seeing that. :-)
Good work. Thank you.
Thanks!
Great video! Keep up 👍🏽
Thank you!
Yes the Ottoman wars!!!
Edit: Sulaiman the magnificent almost here :)
yes since selim 1 died after 8 years of been a sultan at year of 1520
Now we will see Ottomans at the peak of their power and land controlled under them
Very close!
Sen ne diyon bre kafir
One of the biggest reasons for this campaign of Yavuz(Resolute) Sultan Selim, the growing activity of the Portugal Navy in the Red Sea and the consequent danger of the Hejaz (Mecca, Medina) territory, the most sacred area of the Muslims. Because Mamluk sultans could no longer protect these lands. It was also one of the reasons for this campaign to control the changing world trade routes.
in any case Selim was a great ruler. His reign was only 8 years but doubled the territory of the state.
nice video as always
Thank you!
