- Kings and Generals began remaking its animated historical documentary on the history of the Ottoman empire with the early rise of the Ottoman beylik under Osman I. In the first video we covered the early origins of the beylik, its status among the Muslim states in Anatolia and its early clashes against the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire at Bapheus and Dimbos in 1302 ( • Rise of the Ottoman Em... ). The second episode showed how they became a regional power with the continued battles against the Byzantines and other states, including the siege of Prusa (Bursa) and the battle of Pelekanon ( • How the Ottomans Took ... ). As the Ottoman entered the Balkans, they had to face the Serbian Empire and the Second Bulgarian Empire, leading to the battles like Maritsa in 1371 ( • Maritsa 1371 - End of ... ). The Ottomans continued expanding both in Europe and Asia, leading to many conflicts, including the Karamanids, culminating at the battle of Frenkyazisi in 1387 ( • Ottoman Expansion in A... ). As the Ottomans managed to defeat their enemies in Anatolia, they now had time to fight against the burgeoning Balkan alliance that formed against them with Lazar Hrebeljanovic of the Moravian Serbia at its head. His confrontation with the sultan Murad I would led to the battle of Kosovo in 1389 ( • Battle of Kosovo 1389 ... ). In the aftermath of Kosovo, Bayezid I continued campaigns in Anatolia and the Balkans. The events in Anatolia culminated at the battle of Kirdilim of 1391, where the Sultan defeats his Turkic opponents led by Kadi Burhaneddin. The Ottomans became the sultans of Rum getting the title of the Seljuks ( • How the Ottomans Becam... ). Afterwards the Sultan continued campaigning in Europe, leading to the major Ottoman defeat at Rovine in 1395 against the Voivode of Wallachia, Mircea the Elder ( • First Major Ottoman De... ). Despite that, the Ottoman advance in Europe continued and to counter it, the king of Hungary Sigismund called a crusade joined by many nobles and retinues from the Balkans, France and beyond. This led to a crusade and the battle of Nicopolis in 1396 ( • How the Ottomans Defea... ). In the aftermath, Bayezid had a free rein and he blockaded Constantinople. The Roman emperor Manuel II Palaiologos decided to travel to Europe to get help, but got no help in the West ( • Roman Emperor Gets No ... ). But with the Ottoman expansion in Anatolia, Bayezid was on a collision course with another conqueror - Timur, which led to the battle of Ankara in 1402 ( • Battle of Ankara 1402 ... ). In the aftermath, the civil war of interregnum between the sons of Bayezid almost destroyed the Ottomans ( • Civil War That Almost ... ). Mehmed I won the civil war and he and his son Murad I continued the expansion, leading to the siege of Constantinople in 1422

Hi.
I just love your channel man! My dad just passed so cash is very tight. When I am able, k&g, I will share a donation to your work and efforts. Mahalo for all you do! It's just great man! YAH BE WITH YOU AND YOURS AMEN! 💜🌷💜🌴✨
@@hokuponopono4415 don't worry about it. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
10:30 hanged, not hung. A person sent to the Tyburn tree for execution was hanged. The judge would say, "You shall be hanged by the neck until dead, and may God have mercy on your soul." A man who is hung has an entirely different condition. It's one of those archaic bits of English we don't have to think about much any more, but there is a proper terminology for it.
Do you guys get paid the same as anyone else per view? I'd feel bad if my views of time killer videos were rewarded as much as quality videos like on this channel.
Its actually insane just how 1 event in the rise of the Ottoman empire could have derailed the empire and shattered it back into the, like, 10 beyliks.
And even more amazing how they picked everything back up in a few decades while the Romans never recovered from 1204.
@@m.aryaanamiri2755Thats a big word to say they never recovered , i beleave they never fully recovered is a better alternative
@@marshallsilverstar9636 but they did indeed never recover .Trebizond and Epirus remained independent,and since 1258,it was only downhill.
@@m.aryaanamiri2755give them a break, they lasted for over 2 millennia 😂
@@m.aryaanamiri2755 All of the empires history was downhill if we smplify enough . The truth is that ottoman empire's wierdly more stable politics and huge strike of capable rulers ( until vienna ) enabled it to withstand this great challenge . Byzantium while having more times to go to hell and back at this stage it was truly unable to pay for its mistakes. Thus i think you are right , its an extremelly impressive feat .
Murad II in my opinion is the most underrated ottoman Sultan of all time, he won against 2 crusades in his lifetime
If you know, you know.
2?
He’s definitely underrated. He set the foundation for mehmeds conquest
@@Kili2807 Varna in 1444 and Kosovo in 1448
@@barissaaydinn didnt know theese we’re 2 separate campaigns
From the legend of El Cid, to Shajar al-Durr, to Mehmed I, it is impressive how much history wants to convince us that Weekend at Bernie's is totally possible
I forgot his name, but there was a Chinese emperor who died while touring faraway from his capital.
His servants pretended he was alive by using screens, and leaving his carriage close to carts full of rotting fish to cover the smell.
@@johntaylor7029 Yeah the Chinese were quick on adapting their 80's classic movies, it was their first emperor!
Great that you show how depopulated Constantinople was at that time. This was actually an advantage for the remaining inhabitants
Yes and the depopulated areas where used for planting food back then
The ottomans built up their victory through a hundred years the reason for their downfall and their decrease in population was because they couldn't rival the higher powers like the ottomans and the ilkhanate
@@user-no7eg7kh2tNomadic tribes versus static empires. Rarely good for the empires.
Yea before the world became terribly overpopulated!
@@ShaneShane1215world overpopulation is a myth. All humans could fit in a space the size of Rhode Island. The issue is how inefficiently resources are utilized or wasted by a select few. There is enough farm land to feed the world, but food is only grown to produce profit in the wealthiest countries. If the world population ate food and consumed textiles the way us Americans do, we would already need 3-5 planets.
The 1422 Siege of Constantinople was a pivotal event in Byzantine and Ottoman history. Technologically, both sides were evenly matched. The Ottomans had just acquired cannons, leveling the playing field.
The siege was lifted due to a rebellion elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Murad II had to deal with this internal threat, forcing him to abandon the siege. This rebellion was backed by regional powers wary of Ottoman resurgence.
Byzantine tradition credits a miraculous intervention for their survival. An apparition reportedly inspired the defenders. Despite this victory, the Byzantine Empire was in decline, facing economic issues and a lack of soldiers. Constantinople would eventually fall in 1453.
Basically, Bayezid playing with skull "pyramid" kid at Ankara brought the otttoman empire 50 years in the past so Mehmed and Mourad 2 had to spend all their reigns to do the same thing as Orhan and Mourad 1 until Mehmed 2 do what his great grandfather was supposed to do.
Talk about perseverance lasting generation
Timur on top!🗣
Poor lil Bayezid got imprisoned😢
So ready for the rest of the series
Ottoman series is like a masterpiece all together
I can't watch the old ones because the new ones you guys are making is really good
Basically the new ones have more information history and good detailed animation
Watching this channel since 2018 and it has became my favourite history channel
Woohoo! The seige of Constantinople was always so interesting to me! Great work, K&G team.
Which one?
...The event itself only explained for 2 minutes
Always wait for Ottoman videos. Need more content related to them.
*_It is explained better than many Turkish historians, I like the videos of this channel very much._*
the channel is Azeri, almost turkish you could say
He is turkish actually :D
@@user-ex6nd8dq8w isnt he david from canada?
Best channel, watching for years, as a hobby in a busy life.
WOW! The detail is insanely well done!
I am totally ready for the next episode in the series.
Fantastic series! I keep seeing in the other comments that you're taking this all the way to 1923. EPIC!!!!
Great video as always. Awesome to see a siege covered that is often overlooked. Loving this series keep up the amazing work!
Finally, I've been waiting for this for so long 💞
Constantinople deserves an award for surviving so long as it did.
Yes, it did. Their true reward came in 1453.
@@paulheydarian1281just don't tell him about 1919 and the fall of the ottomans
Naval superiority was the main cause.
Those who read history respect Mehmed the Conqueror and Konstantinos who defended his country to the last breath.
@@emreiris114 those who know real history know that even I could've taken Constantinoupolis at this point in time.
Make sure the next episode of this series as soon as possible
Sheikh badreddin was basically the muslim Karl marx of the era
We are looking forward to the next episode.🎉🎉🎉
Excellent video, excellent series!!
finally some good content 😊😊😊 bravo
Another amazing video by my favourite CZcams channel
Thanks for the information in this video
We are eagerly waiting for the next episode...
Dude, upload it fast...
excellent as always
Awesome video, waiting for the next episode
Wow this was awesome, keep up with good work!
Really glad to have come across your channel, been binge watching all the videos I missed since finding your channel. Great work!
i've been waiting this video for long
Very informative video thanks bro
Looking forward to see the series
I love you guys soo much you make history so much simple keep it up
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
I am lovin this series........... the balance and details between geopolitics, warfare, and historical events is just....... [Chef's Kiss!]
Really liked this video. I never knew Ottoman History was so full of rebellions like these.
Oh yea! You know, you're so good at this that you make people interested in watching videos about histories they weren't even interested to learn about.
Amazing video!!
This siege isn't talked about much. So nice job KnG.
Excellent content.
Great video
Fantastic video
It is actually crazy how Ottomans suffered from numereous amounts of rebellion and civil instability on their rise and how they overcame them.
Great video just felt like more time could of gone into the siege
Well done, as always! The court intrigue here is just as fascinating as the battles that resulted. I wonder if you all would consider a series on the fall of the Hasmonean dynasty?
Will consider!
@@KingsandGeneralsAwesome
Yes! more Ottoman videos! my fav series thanks KnG!
Very informative video (once more)about a somehow obscure period of History.
Still I have to make a minor correction. While the final ottoman assault was taking place it was the silhouette of the Holy Virgin herself that made an Apparition.
I'm so interested in this series and the quality and details are amazing. please upload it fast
Your videos are really good that they don’t need the music.
Nah a Bit of background music adds a lot imo. K&G also habe really Food music
r/unpopularopinion
It's a great video though it's also funny as most of the videos content is background info with only a brief mention of the siege itself, The title would of been better as "Why the Ottoman withdrew from the siege of Constantinople"
Learning something new everyday
Excellent video 📹
Constantinople will have to wait ✋️
Some things we use as Turks
I would like to share proverbs.
If 2 Jews come together, they form a company; If 2 Turks come together, they will establish a state.
If the Turks run out of enemies, they will fight each other. I think these proverbs describe internal rebellions very well.
thanks!
Loved it.
Thanks for the Ottoman videos
Thank you very much for covering the first siege of Constantinople. We are now looking forward to seeing the second successful siege and conquest (1453)!!!!
There already is a video about the 1453 siege. Search for it on CZcams.
I am following this channel for the last 3 years, but it sad that it is not growing in a manner, it should be. Well done Kings and Generals, keep it up.
We are adding 50k new subscribers monthly. Not huge, but respectable:-)
He got 3.5 million subs lul
Yeeee I was looking video like that 😎😎😎
Hi K&G, I am enjoying to watching your videos, I didnt search but if you dont have, can you make a video about Ottoman's India campaign through sea, aceh sultanate and ottoman's battle with china through east turkestan (xinjiang)?
Murad Han definitely deserves more recognition, great ruler.
Good video, explain the Ottoman politic pretty well even if how Byzantine survive the siege of Constantinople were only lasted for 2 minutes and in the last segment in the video
Harp tarihi izledikten sonra burdan da izledim 😂😊 guzel video
I like your videos
Bro how you make this perfect map? With all kingdoms, every detail, it looks epic
Always learn something!
Dang i love the inner conflicts and different sides withen the sultanate. Reminds me of a TV drama 😅
Awesome
One of the best or the best battle channal so don't get biased
14:16 They really pulled some _Weekend at Bernie's_ shenanigans to prevent a succession crisis.
Thank you for continue the series about ottoman documentary
Thanks
Sir how to edit and find this war map
This video brilliantly delves into the gripping tale of how Constantinople endured the relentless onslaught of an Ottoman siege. It's a testament to the resilience and strategic prowess of the city's defenders, showcasing their unwavering determination in the face of overwhelming odds. Kudos to the creators for bringing this captivating piece of history to life!
ChatGPT ahh comment
Bud really using that chat gpt powered brain
I was today days old when I learnt that Weekend at Bernies has an historical basis
Nice
Will a more detailed account of the naval battle at gallipoli be included in your long form documentary?
It is planned, but will need to check the sources
@@KingsandGenerals Of course. If the sources are not there... Just would be cool because I think this was the only naval battle of early ottoman history
I am curious about the relationships and the emotions of Murad II. Did he have a distant emotional relationship with his brothers, uncles and so on? Or was this warring among relatives troubling to him?
Because from the description of these events. It seems like the Ottoman rulers must have been used to fighting their family in power struggles and not been particularly close.
Very often princes were sent to various regions as administrators and didn't have much contact
Can't wait this channel to cover Mehmed the 2nd and the Conquest of Constantinople 1453.
super❤
MURAD 2 is such underated sultan although he has some failed campaign but his reign open the path for conquering constantinople later
nice
i humbly request sir . can you please make a video on the battle of berlin and a series on indo-pak wars . i shall be very greatful.
is there a meaning in the type of execution used on Bedreddin?
Also I wasn't expecting weekend at bernie's, ottoman edition...
Great series, Id still listen to Devin read a phone book.
Kings and Generals, one question, as a vaushite, do you stand by him? I used to see you in chat but not so much anymore, do you still like him?
Great vid btw
amazing series! are you planning to push the ottoman series to ww1 or stop at 1453?
1923
I never knew there was an first unsuccessful Ottoman siege of Constantinople; the title sounds like an alternate dream history of an Byzantine Empire that survived Ottoman conquest.
It was never going to survive. The Catholic west made sure it didn't.
First ottoman siege was done by bayezid 1
During mehmed's reign, what was his attitude and behaviour towards the stephen lazaravic?
Since today's video is about the Ottoman Empire, I have a question to ask. Is the Auspicious Incident a good thing or not and why it did not happen to the Dai Li in Avatar: The Legend of Korra?
Yes
@@sou713 May I know the full meaning of this yes, please?
Can you explain Siege of Smyrna too?
Please make video about Timurid invasion of Goergia/Caucasus mountains
Finally an Ottoman episode. I said this before and I will say it again, that I mostly watch this channel for Ottoman history. Thank you K&G and great job as always!
Did you like the Netflix dramatization of this battle? I thought it was alright, especially since we don't get much Ottoman content.
@@milballsthe representation of the ottomans and Byzantines was pretty ok I’d say
@@milballs Where on Netflix?
@@sou713 it's called Rise of Empires: Ottoman
I think the next battle will be the crusade of varna, or some conflict in Wallachia or Anatolia.
I guess Varna is still a bit further ahead. Still 20 years to go
@@Kili2807 you're right, then maybe some conflict in Anatolia
@@hassaanalisiddiqui3827 the Siege of thessalonica Probably
Genius @@Kili2807
This history is pretty neat but how do we know these things about them? Was all this recorded like written down all the way from the 1400s? Thats alot of info hard to believe we have this much on them but if we really do it sure is neat
Yes, it is written down.
Ottoman archives
So, upon the sultan's death, the court pulled a "Weekend at Mehmed's." Nice.
