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 ( • Ottoman Conquest of Th... ). Although it failed, the Ottoman expansion continued in Epirus, Albania and during the siege of Thessalonica ( • Ottoman Conquest of Th... ). As a result, more European powers became interested in fighting the Ottomans, leading to the rise of John Hunyadi and the beginning of the Varna Crusade ( • Rise of John Hunyadi -... ), and the pivotal battle of Varna in 1444.

Hello Kings and Generals, I heard you mention a couple of times that Skenderbeg (real name Alexander) was Albanian. He is from the Raban mountain region i.e Arbanon you can say, but he has nothing to do with Siptar Albanians as they are today. He is Serbian, as well as his either family, a medieval noble family from the Serbian empire. In addition, he only wrote in Serbian. The deliberate attempt to create a national hero for the newly created Austrian state of Albania in 1913 was nothing other than Austro- Hungarian propaganda to undermine the Kingdom of Serbia's claims to these lands and access to the sea. We know of course what happened in 1914 of course. If anyone does a little in depth look the either heritage there is Serbian.

@@ikielinsesi1843 overconfidence/pride is a pretty recurring thing among European knights, not just against the Muslims but also in inter-christians conflicts. It really sounds like many knight were brought up with the idea of being better/battle being more a "game" for prestige than life of death, potentially because the knights often got captured and ransomed when possible and not necessarily outright killed. And well, even today young people often are more hotheads then older people, so it wouldn't be weird for that to also be true in the past. European armies in medieval times also were pretty small, with a strong well-equiped and well trained core and enlargened when necessary by lesser trained levies, though overall this last contingent is generally avoided when not deemed necessary (like for planned invasions or minor conflicts). Ottomans generally relied much more on bigger troop amount with still also an elite core, but much more lesser trained/equiped levies. Though this obviously wasn't always the case.

@@alibagheri411I'll be as concise about it as possible as I can bro. European front was more important for Ottomans ruling class probably. Where to begin... So the struggles to the east tended to be more fatal than the ones to the west. As time went on this trend became more apparent I suppose. The real differentiator is that, towards the west are the "other" guys. When you lose, you lose face, time, people, money but not legitimacy. When you lose toward the east to a guy like you, speaking your language has basically the same faith you may lose everything. Anatolian vassals of Bayazid I did not hesitate a second to support Timur for example. Shah Ismail brought these differences to a boiling point. Turkish masses migrated to Iran to join his revolution. My estimation is that at that point anatolia was more Shiite than Iran in general. Ismail turned Iran Shiite, Selim I turned Anatolia to Sunni faith. But doing so, he turned the country upside down. People were killed and persecuted. Demography changed. In many ways it was a civil war. Those are more memorable. I know, it was not concise.

For many the essential enemy was the Ottoman Turks, whose aggression and brutality were widely disseminated. Their activities and plans were subjected to numerous prophetic and apocalyptic readings. Many contemporaries described their Christian opponents as Turks or ‘worse than Turks’, a practice that demonstrated both the potency of the Turkish image and the internal divisions which plagued the Christian world. For Erasmus and other moral reformers the Turk resided within each Christian, and Christian sinfulness was fully as fatal to the common defence of Europe as political rivalries.

@lucabarbanti8211
@lucabarbanti8211 День назад
​@@nathanruben-tv5lfYou think wrong. The nomad invader turks were brutal. For example through Devşirme (Collection of Boys) a system where young Christians were taken from their families, converted to Islam, and trained as elite soldiers (Janissaries) or officials. Akinci were light cavalrymen who were known for their raids into Christian territories, plundering villages, and capturing prisoners. Subject populations often faced onerous taxes, such as the "haraci" (property tax), contributing to economic instability and poverty.Ottoman rule in the Balkans led to the spread of Islam in the Christian region, but also to religious tensions with Orthodox and Catholic Christian populations. And the consequences were terrible. The Balkans saw numerous rebellions and resistance movements against Ottoman rule, such as the Serbian and Bulgarian uprisings. These efforts were often brutally suppressed, with further looting and destruction as responses to insurrections. The finest example of the brutality of turks is the death of ecumenical patriarch Gregory V of Constantinople. On April 10, 1821, on Orthodox Easter Sunday, Gregory V was arrested and hanged at the main gate of the Patriarchate in Constantinople by order of Sultan Mahmud II. This act was intended as retaliation and a warning message to the Greek rebels. Gregory V's body was left hanging for three days and then thrown into the Bosphorus. Gregory V's execution provoked outrage among Greeks and other Orthodox Christians. He became a martyr and a symbol of the Greek struggle for independence. This event further galvanized the Greek independence movement and garnered international support for the Greek cause. Gregory V was killed as part of the Ottoman response to the Greek revolt, despite the lack of evidence of his direct involvement in the rebellion. His execution was an attempt at intimidation that had the opposite effect, strengthening the Greeks' determination to achieve their independence from the bloody turks. The brutality of the Ottoman Empire far outshines that of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars.

Balkan Christian historians do not view it with the same understanding as before.

The way this last Crusade is set up and the fact that western Europe doesn't take part tells you that priorities and centres of power in Europe have shifted. The Portuguese have by this time already colonies in Senegal and 44 years later they would pass Cape the Good hope; the southern most point of Africa. While the Ottomans still have some good years ahead of them with Mehmed the 2nd the winds of change was in the European air. Jerusalem had lost most of its allure and the bigger European powers had other things on mind. The Lancastrian war was in full swing and would ultimately mark the end of the one hundred year war between France and England. The Holy Roman empire was busy with a gradual reform. Ultimately the the last crusade marked a significant change for all of Europe as various big events were taking place and would coincide with each other. This also causes Europe to be in exactly the right position for the start of the colonial era in the 16th century.

Hello from Varna! I also live on boulevard Vladislav Varnenchick :) Great video with a very detailed description of the battle. In Bulgaria we view the events as tragic and the last hope of independent Bulgarian state was gone and 5 centuries of Ottoman rule (or slavery as we call it) followed. However to be fair, the crusader army, like in previous occasions, sacked and burned wherever they went, no doubt killing Bulgarians too. This is not in our history books in school, which is biased and unfair.

Great video kings and generals the quality was great and it was entertaining. Thought i am a bit confused by how tiny the crusader army here was. During the battle of Kosovo that you showed, the small serbian state managed to raise an army of 20,000. The ottomans likley outnumbered the crusaders but I personally think it would be a bit less massively so 30,000 Crusaders vs 40,000 Ottomans.

It is a smart thing to be sceptical regarding the reasoning of Vladislaw 3's charge. It is very convenient to blame the whole defeat on the dead man as he cant speak for himself. For all we know it could be that the crusaders were already desperately losing the battle and it was a final desperate attempt by the king to turn the tide by killing the sultan. Also this was the first time Ottomans encountered wagon fort tactic, they destoyed the wagon fort by outranging it with their cannons and destroying it. They adopt this over this battle and call it ''tabur cengi''. Tabur the vocabulary being adopted from Hungarian who adopted it centuries ago from another Turkic people... One last thing, that dramatic letter to Murad from Mehmed is not historical, it is romantisation.
@RexOlafusVidulusMagnus
@RexOlafusVidulusMagnus День назад
And for all we know, it could've also been that the Ottomans had killed the Polish-Hungarian King on the threshold of their own defeat. Second thing is, the Hungarians adopted the Wagon fort, Tabor, from the Hussites (Czechs) whom they fought 20 years earlier, and who have enjoyed great success by it's use against Hungarians and Germans alike in the Hussite Crusades... not some turkic people...
