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 a tiny beylik became a regional power with the continued battles against the Byzantine empire and other states, including the siege of Prusa (Bursa) between 1317 and 1326 and the battle of Pelekanon of 1329 ( • 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 the conflicts with many states, 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 takes the power and continues campaigns both in Anatolia and the Balkans. The events in Anatolia culminate 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 first 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 the so called Crusade of Nicopolis - the last major crusade and the battle of Nicopolis in 1396.

As hungarian child we were taught this in school. The most fantastic element in the whole Ottoman history for me was to see how Ottomans from Etrogul to Great Sulejman, which is ~250 years, only one generation was not a very highly talented leader, just talanted.
In this period if you see any of Europes royal courts, its rare if there is 5 or 4 king who is equally highly talented in administration and warfere.
Agreed
Well absulutely ur right coz in that 250 years Ottomans had 8 marshal sultan !! They were not just Sultan but also great commander ! Sure Consuls of sultan also was intellegent !
I thought Hungarians hate the ottomans
@@ahmedamr1684 hungarians hate everyone, incuding other hungarians. 🤣😂its a bad habbit of most of us. But! You can think someone is great and still can hate it too. Maybe you should be hungarian to undarstand this?🤔
West europe was nothing then in global terms it gradual became. Byzantine empire was important and had decayed, and then Venice and Genoa only maybe one two other places had growing importance.
Also what people dont say is that for the first 150 years maybe even 200 of Ottoman empire Greeks of Constantinople managed rhe administration of state which they knew how to do, before there is growing state culture in the Ottoman state.
Ottoman empire was not that bad the first 100-150 years but after 1600 when there was drop of money all the very bad measures against Greeks and other Christians started.
Greeks would have to give their children to anti christian propaganda military schools where they were taught to forget where they came from and hate the Greeks, the taxing became hugely high since no money around and only Christians could be taxed, the damaging to Christians measures started etc.
What a brave sultant to personally inform the garrison of his arrival at night. True thunderbolt!
A lot of the leaders back in the day took to the front lines, something you will never see today

Sultan Bayezid the thunderbolt shouted in front of the castle of Niğbolu (Nicopolis) :
- Bre Doğan, Bre Doğan! (hey, Doğan)
Doğan Bey looked at the cavalry man outside and couldn't believe his eyes:
- Buyur saadetlü hünkarım (Command me, my glorious sultan)
- Halin nicedür? (How is your condition)
Doğan bey briefly explained their situation
Sultan Bayezid said:
"Hold on, we have arrived to your aid" and turned his horse back.
Some Hungarian patrols noticed the dark shadow in front of the castle and immediately started to follow him, but Sultan Bayezid had swiftly disappeared into the dark forest nearby.
His language is a little different from today's modern Turkish but still understandable.
Clearly understandable
Imagine having the nickname *Thunderbolt* as an general.
Pretty neat.

And then imagine ending up in a small cage to be paraded.
@@munteanuiulian7427 That is just a myth made up by anti Ottoman guys, who didn't even see Timur's court once in their lifetime. They were obviously very butthurt, because of Bayazid embarrassing them in Europe.
It has absolutely no historical substance.
The two actual European witnesses, who were in Temerlane's court, Johan Schiltberger and Jean Le Maingre, wrote nothing about any humiliation at any sort.
Although the humiliation of defeat, was probably hard enough for Bayazid.
I first heard about the Ottomans in school, briefly. When you learn about the Ottomans from strictly a WW1 context you miss out on all of their amazing history. Such a wonderful series you’ve made K&G!!! 👏
Except their conquests nothing impressive to learn about them. No civilization.

@@sandrojones8068 I disagree, they were far less brutal and abusive than most nations of their era, you see here how the catholics treated anyone including fellow christians who weren't on their side.
The ottomans only really were mean in terms of the jannisary core early on, but later on most parents willingly gave their kids up to the core for a better life.
There was also the armenian genocide, but it was the secularists who took over at that time, and other nations like britain and russia did bloodier genocides.
Why is nobody talking about how "the Thunderbolt" is such a cool nickname
bro a lot of people have been both in this video and each video before that featured him
Even though I'm Irish and not a Turk, I love Ottoman history. So thanks for posting this. They had a really powerful army and navy at one point in time. The Sultans commanded both fear and respect.
Yea sure they were feared and “respected” after they took your sons to be their soldiers and your pretty daughters for their harem’s. Cool stuff.
@@malamatinas1 those were only defeated enemies as Sultan Bayazid was married into the Serbian royalty and had Serbian Christian knights fighting against Tamerlane who also had Christian Armenian Knights as auxiliaries and the Ottoman Sultan's wife was taken as a slave and made to serve him in captivity which caused this Ottoman trauma and made them rely on Harem more to avoid shame. They did that to Muslims too from Syria to Egypt to Yemen etc and even among themselves when brothers fought over succession. Their vassals were generally left alone but it's still a brutal and fucked up imperialist system but pales in comparison to genocidal European settler colonialism Lebensraum (ethnic cleansing) which also happened in Northern Ireland, let alone other parts of the world.
@@malamatinas1Ottomans took those children and raised them to be either elite swordsman or generals, grand viziers etc. They grew up with sultan’s sons and were never mistreated. They were raised to be the most influental people in the empire. How is that considered cruel in 15th century?
@@malamatinas1 Yet Alexander was a hero, right? And the crusaders who massacred Oryahova's population in this video were civilized Europeans. Very selective about your "respect".
@@malamatinas1 Those devshirmes were treated far better than Turkish peasants and nobles. There is a reason for lack of Turkish nobles in the administration because most of the administration comprised of devshirmes. Even the merchants were non muslim mostly Greeks and Armenians while Turks worked in the fields and conscripted to die for Sultan's wars. OP is Irish he knows better about the time Abdulmajid helped the Irish during the Great Famine. However, you are right about harem thing and the slave trade.

Turks were the better duelists I suppose
Bayezid I was one of the fiercest Ottoman emperors with a dashing military record but the man who defeated the last Crusade (Varna 1444) was his grandson Murad II
The Polish King was killed in this battle. At this time there were even not a united Turkish state. Anatolia was divided in many small Turkish states. But the Ottomans still defeated many times in numbers superiour united European armies.
@@FreeMan-ev3jhYeah the first 10 Ottoman rulers with the possible exception of Bayezid II were all excellent leaders, their accomplishments aren't surprising

But no civilization.
@@TGeoMin😂Europeans didn't even have toilets back then.
*Tale of the battle was told by Umur, son of Ottoman left wing commander Timurtaş, to prominent Turkish historian, Aşıkpaşazade. That's how we know the details (from Ottoman perspective)
*Bayezid's second son, Mustafa played a critical role in Ottoman victory. He was the commander of units that flanked Franks
*Most of the Franks were captured alive, according to Umur, only his father had captured 2000 knights.
*Franks, despite fighting to an unfamiliar enemy in an unfamiliar territory, took no advice from those who had experience against Turks, which was critical.
*Teutonic knights sacrified themselves to cover Sigismund's escape. Sigismund would become Holy Roman emperor later.
*Bayezid personally charged with a great mace, as it was his custom.
Greetings Sultan Bayezid The Thunderbolt 🇹🇷❤️

Europen All Stars VS Turks (Just Ottoman Turks)
Btw, Turks wish even their enemies to be honorable. When Yıldırım Beyazıd heard about the Crusaders killing unarmed and defenseless civilians despite their promises, he became furious and went mad with anger. After the battle, he unleashed his wrath upon the wrongdoers like a volcanic eruption. His anger was so intense that even his own men pleaded with him to stop. (However, the Crusaders repeated the same mistake by breaking their word in the year 1444 and were punished again as a result)
Disinformation. Euro was fragmented. They had no all stars. Additionally, whitewashing Turkish history.
It's not a mistake, Crusaders were always like this, they massacred Jerusalem's population when they first took it, they burned Constantinople in 1204 after massacring the catholic population of Zara, the northern crusades weren't any less bloody.
Crusaders always Massacred Muslims Mans, Womens and Childrens whenever They Conquered but They were Always Spare by Muslims Leaders and kings like Saladin and many other Muslims kings, Also like King Alp Arslan Spared Emperor Romanus of Byzantine Empire
In One Chronicle Genghis Khan has Said he Learn Massacre by Crusaders

You're absolutely correct on all count.
@@julia2k8 No, Turks and Mongolians are different races, Turks are white and Mongolians are yellow. And also, if the Turks were massacrers like the Mongols, the Ottoman Empire could have destroyed the whole of Europe when it dominated the world, or it could have made Turkish the official language of the whole of Europe, but none of these happened.

I was looking in the comments to see if anyone mentioned 'thunderbold' was defeated and placed in a cage later. Nobody here knows history, you're all clowns just like the "thunderbolt" lmao. He wrote Emir Timur's name in small letters while writing his own with gold, then got his whole empire destroyed and he was caged like an animal. History lesson there for you clowns and overly excited tiktok kids
@@DarkAlan2 What an ydyot... Beyazid and Timur competed for the leadership of the Turkish world, Beyazid almost won against a much larger army, and was never put in a cage this has been proven a myth, he lived in a huge royal home. I know this much and I'm from Chile. You know zero.
@@DarkAlan2 Well, he dared to do that. Timur never lost a war. He was certainly on another level. Yet, Beyazıd the thunderbolt dared to show courage. So, what are you encouraging here? Cowardice? Well, do it yourself then
@@DarkAlan2Tamerlane built an empire that died with him. The Ottoman Sultans built a larger empire that lasted over 600 years. He cannot hold a candle to their success.
I wonder how Sigismund survived the headache Franco-Burgundians mustve caused as they trolled throughout the entire campaign. Would've been interesting to see how the battle would've turned out if they just listened to Sigismund's advice.
You do have to worry about the principle of "The winners write the history" in situations like this. Although "survivors" may be more accurate than "winners" in Sigismund's case. He did survive to tell his version of events, whereas many of the Franco-Burgundians didn't.
Still, if he was shading things to make himself look better and the westerners look worse, he did a very thorough and believable job of it.
@jesseberg3271 kings and generals is known for delivering informations in neutral view points. The channel often mentions both perspectives. For example, in the previous video, kings and generals mention both sources that claims how Cleon died(he was killed as he ran away, or he fought bravely until his end)
Also, kings and generals probably analyzed the Ottomans' records and cross validated it by comparing them to european sources before making video
@@jesseberg3271Franco-Burgundian nobles ransomed off survived so if there was any conflicting narrative it would have been recorded.

"Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" - favourite frankish pasttime.
Doesn't mater how good you are at charging and how many battles you win. If you get to prideful and outrun your own support, you die and loose the battle.
Absolutely baffling how often they repeated the same mistake.
Common french L. Damn shame Sigismund lost. The first lesson a soldier's learns is discipline and they have none facepalm
A lot of people are bringing up Tamerlane as if he was some magical counter to Bayezid, Tamerlane had to bribe the Anatolian Turkic clans that formed Bayezids flanks (and he outnumbered Bayezid by 20-40 thousand men before Bayezid was betrayed) to even have a shot at victory. The thunderbolt nearly beat tamerlane if only a large portion of, ironically, his Turkish auxiliary armies hadn’t defected over to Tamerlane. The man was one of the greatest Ottoman Sultans and perhaps warrior king of his age. His bad luck was in trusting the Turkish tribes that he and his father had recently subjugated in not holding a grudge against him. Even more amazing was that the Ottomans were able to have an 11 year battle royale after Timur and still rebuild their Empire even faster and more effectively afterwards. Such defeats and civil wars destroyed many other more powerful states. At this point the Ottomans were still over 250 years away from the height of their power. Truly the Inheritors of Rome.
Seeing the military strength and states organization, hosting so many folks within it Ottomans were the true inheritants of Rome, yes.
Kayser I Rum❤
Tamerlane was just a genghis khan wannabe. Just look at how fast his empire collapsed after him. He was a flop and so were his descendants.

He was known by moving the army fast and being quite responsive and decisive. That's why he was called the thunderbolt.
But that caused him to lose against Timur, he led the army far east into the Anatolia where Timur has moved through west thus he had to pull the army back with tired/weary horses and infantry.
The great historian Ibn Khaldun also argues in his “Introduction to History” (or The Muqaddimah) that nomadic peoples, the Turks foremost among them, were the most energetic and martial of peoples and that imperial dynasties and regimes emerged from such groups until they became corrupted and softened by civilization and luxury, which resulted in a loss of martial energy and group solidarity. This analysis is very true because as the Abbasid caliphate started to lose its power and influence in the mid-ninth century most of the dynasties that emerged to control the various regions of the Muslim world were founded by Turks, either tribal nomads or former slave soldiers. Ibn Khaldun even attributes the victory of the Muslims over the Mongols to the martial power and energy of the Turks, who formed the elite ranks of the Mamluk armies that defeated the Mongols on several occasions as they attempted to advance into Syria and Egypt between 1260 and 1323.
this is scourge of every monarchy. Usually it begins with strong ruler but as time goes it gets corrupted to the point of decadance and weakness (if it has no wars)
The bulk of the Mamluk army were basically native Egyptians, not Turks. And in the Muslim world (actually in the history of the world), physically the strongest warriors were the Rashidun Arab Muslims, no Turkic fighter doesn't even stand a chance against those superhuman fighters. Some of these names are enough, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Dharrar Ibn Al Azwar, Khalid bin Waleed, Al Qaqa ibn Amr, etc. They alone can take down armies.
@@se20558ı think you need more search about mamluk army and Türk army history. Mamluk’s army include mostly Türk and Cherkes warrior. Arabs is neither soldiers nor Warriors
@@Mehmet68 and I think you need more history lesson apart from your fake turkish ones, it's well recorded that the bulk of the Mamluk army is Egyptian where Turks and others consisted only a small portion, otherwise, logically it wouldn't be possible to sustain an army for few centuries. Coming to whether the Arabs are warriors/soldiers or not, go read the last four names of my comment again, only those names are enough to make the best Turkic fighter piss his pants. The coward Turks barely fight any war when they are outnumbered, while the Rashidun Arab Muslims defeated two superpowers while being 5 to 1 outnumbered.
Gotta love muslim infighting. Turks are known to be proud because their medieval empire and they cling on that nationalism. And the other guy thinks one guy can take on entire armies. Bollywood much?
Is it right to call Nicopolis as last crusade wasn't Varna the last crusade ?

What an improvement on the quality. An epic story. It was so sharp for both sides, all or nothing for both parties.
It's quite surprising to me that, having read both scripts of this confrontation, this particular version comes across as rather blunt in numerous aspects. While the video is well-made, it falls short when it comes to accuracy. It always amazes me how in the West, there's often an attempt to soften the impact of defeat.

Did the french really think that they alone could just bulldoze through the ottoman army? Heavy cavalry is powerful, but this is just arrogance.
Think from their pov. People who were raised on the stories of the First Crusade, where, at times, a handful of heavy knights were able to turn the battle against the "nomads". Mircea and other locals tried to explain that the Ottomans were not your usual nomadic light cavalry, but to no avail.

Great video
I am very happy to know about medieval battles 17:18 😅
respect to the serbian Vassal, he was loyal friend on his time
they were indeed loyal and valiant fighters. they fought beside Bayezid in the battle of Ankara against Timur's deadly army.
and they say, when Timur was nearly victorious and saw those knights fighting very bravely in a lost battle, he ordered his army to open an escape way for the knights because of his respect for them.
Here it is!
The internal conflicts of the Crusaders played nearly as big a role in their defeat as Bayezid's military leadership. This battle is an interesting case study of what can help lead to victory or defeat.
In every episodes regarding the Ottomans, there is always an "excuse" why the european forces lost an battle because most of the sources from this channel are mainly european ones.
@@realDanielAugustine of course thats reasonable but i didnt exaggerate when i said in every major battle the ottomans fought against europeans there was an excuse. Just watch some battles back to back and you will see it. i can see it if it happens half the time but its almost 100% of the time.

@@realDanielAugustine i never said that this channel does it intentional but if you use mainly sources from just one side a little bit of bias cmes with it.
@@laonch6073 Please explain what you mean with better trained, equipped and advanced armies. To my knowledge the Ottomans were the most advanced power in europe atleast from 14th to the 16th century before their steady decline started.
The last Crusaders were Varna, not Nicopolis.
You can say malta,lepanto or even mezokerestes were a crusade. You wont be wrong but nicopolis was the last time all christendom united. Varna was mostly eastern europa and italian city states
i've seen people saying the crimean war was the last crusade
@@shehryarashraf5840 true, both france and russia claimed themselves for being protector of christians living in ottoman territory and fought for it. so it makes sense
@@ozdemirozkanoz7315Crimea was fought on Russian territory, for the control of Christians in the Empire (which both empires couldn't give two shits about). Not on Ottoman territory for the liberation of those Christians living in the realm of Abdulmejid. The last "crusade" of any kind was the 1683-1699 Turkish War.
@@squeaky206 when i was thinking for what is the last crusade great turkish war came to my mind aswell but the point is its hard to pick. When all arabs fighting against isreal they were thinking this is the latest crusade they should stand against. Isreal had been put in holy lands by western power so it made sense too
This is like a modern version of sending just MBT without infantry
excellent
Those Franko-Burgandians are the real Leeroy Jenkins
In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.
In short, the very Alphabet you wrote this in, is from the other group that you can't think about..
The whole world was made/influenced by the Romans and their offshoots.
One may also argue that world history began with Ancient Europeans such as Greeks and one of their offshoots- The Romans.
The contemporary World Countries that have some connections to Ancient Rome cover almost the entirety of the globe.
Turks are the catalyst
@@richestmanintatooine7131 Turds are the shat
Turks were nomads they didnt influeneced anything only conquered and got influeneced by the cultures they conquered

Philip of Artois must have been an ancestor of Leeroy Jenkins

Ottoman, The Lone Wolf ✨

Please make a video on the ottoman civil war which occured after timur's invasion
We will
@@KingsandGenerals thank you very much, luv your vids ;-)
I was waiting for this, hopefully they’ll be more episodes soon. Were you guys planning to do the Crimean war in the future?
Yep!
@@KingsandGenerals I am really looking forward to Crimean war. Because no one describes it in detail. I hope you make it a clear, detailed and long series.
1v20. Even ottoman wins. I love Ottoman
Thank you !
Too much waited for this episode ,pls upload next episode of this series as soon as possible thanks
I’m loving this series
The final crusade was stupid just like the other ones. Too many leaders in one place, they never listened to each other and were only there for personal glory.
Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
The number of Defeats in battle caused by French cavalry recklessly charging and then getting wrecked is mind boggling 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Will the battle of Pleven come ?
If you’re talking about the siege of Pleven that took place in the Russo Turkish war of 1877 to 1878 that’s like almost 500 years before this is between the ottoman empire of the Russian empire a Russian victory. It was successful, but due to the need for regrouping, with the rest of the coalition forces prevented the fall of Constantinople
I set you free, Fearless John, you are free go and gather armies against me again If there are no fools like you, I cannot win.
