How Russia humiliated the Ottoman Empire over and over again 

10:14 should be 1853-1856

Crimea belonged to Russia before Washington was a city

“Controlling Finland, Ukraine and much of Poland..” give me any medieval or renaissance map that has Ukraine on it… it was all part of Russia. Now Finland/Poland yes, those were separate nations under Russian control.

Western chauvinists always like to ignore and downplay the role russia played in fighting the ottomans. The fact the turks no longer control the balkans is always attributed to poland whom did win one great battle against the ottomans at vienna, but the fact russia won 11 wars against the ottomans including the war of 1878 which effectively sealed the fate of the ottoman empire, is completely ignored.

Imagine Russia being gravely concerned about Brittain claiming Ireland and sending troops to protect it

"Controlling Ukraine" like it was its own country to begin with 😂😂😂

It's so funny how you guys mention "Ukraine" as if it was a country. There was no Ukraine at that time. Only "Okraina" which was referenced as outskirts of Russia. But no such a country as Ukraine.

Западные христианские "партнёры" дважды помешали освободить константинополь Впрочем ничего удивительного

"Ivan the Terrible shut down the slave markets" He wasn't that terrible I guess😂

Salutes to Russia.

If it was not for the British, Constantinople would be Christian today…

Constantinople: *falls* Russians: And we took that personally.

Calling the Duchy of Moscow "small" is quite a severe understatement. But otherwise, you have no idea how happy I am to see an english speaking channel talk about the Russo-turkish wars, the most underrated conflicts of the modern period.

The Russian Empire was not “controlling Ukraine”! “Ukraine” was just a term used for border-most regions of the Empire. That territory was part of the Russian Empire since forever (with the exception of the lands stolen from Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia.

Wow... so pretty much Russia freed most of Eastern Europe

Imagine how would the map look like if France and UK didn't intervene in Eastern European affairs.

It's a dman shame that British and French prevented Constaninople from becoming a Christian city again. A betrayal even

Russia did not control Ukraine. The regions of Russia located on the border were called "Ukraine". Siberia was also "Ukraine".Therefore, it sounds stupid that Russia controlled itself in Ukraine

All you need to know about France and GB is in this video - we can colonise the world, but nobody else is allowed to do so.

You are missing important point. After invasion of Moscow in 1571 as you mentioned, Crimean khan decided to do it again in 1572 but suffered devastating defeat. Crimea lost all its manpower and for the next 20 years could not repeat any invasion (until 1591). As a result Ottoman Empire gave up any attempt to return any influence on the territories of Astrakhan and Kazan.

I am Russian and I am glad that they remember my ancestors and their exploits. In the same year, with the Battle of Chesme, one of the greatest battles of the Russian army took place - the Battle of Kagul, where the 17,000-strong Russian army under the command of Rumyantsev defeated the 150,000-strong Turks under the command of the Grand Vizier. It is also worth mentioning the greatest Russian commander - Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who participated in the suppression of the Polish uprising in the late 1760s, after which he was transferred to the Turkish front and made a name for himself with victories over the Turks in the next two wars. With his help, the Allies recaptured Italy, captured by Napoleon, from the French, and 15 years later they defeated him on the basis of a military plan that Suvorov literally drew on a napkin while in exile and disgrace. The Russians trained well on the Turks.

My man there was NO Ukraine! This word means “frontier” in Russian

shame on Britain and French , that they attacked against a Christiane nation. Today Muslims are humble enough that they have their parliament of Muslim countries and no matter what they favor Muslim over anything, you can see the pure example of that in modern day in clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan over a disputed land which is historic to Christian Armenians, yet again the history reoperates itself !!

i hate the name Ivan the Terrible, Should be more like "Ivan the Ferocious". He is one of the top 5 leaders throughout all of Russian history.

Ottomans: breath on balkans Russia: declaration of war

So, we had 2 pairs of the "best friends ever": England and France, Russian Empire and Ottoman Empire.

Funny how the british wanted constinanople yet they failed to allow the Greeks retake it

Glory to the Tzar 🇷🇺

My Respect for Russia: 📈📈📈

Russia did not have a population smaller than the Ottomans - at least not from the 17th century, when it finally began to gain ground. It had a less robust economy and a much less organized state in the start, yes, but they managed to control strategic points, had a huge manpower, and a vastness of natural resources that far surpassed the Ottomans. I think a comparison is necessary here. First, the Ottomans. Its state was organized as a Caliphate. The administrative structure was extremely decentralized, local governments had wide autonomy - being, in many cases, virtually independent, taxation was limited, and the state depended on loyalty bonds that were not exactly stable. The centralizing force of the state of expressed mainly by the army - which depended on a tight budget and defended one of the largest and most contentious borders on the planet. The bet on the creation of elite bodies within the army has created a serious problem, which was somewhat recurring since the time of the Abbasids: the military elite bodies became an elite in themselves, and often acted as the true depositaries of power. Muscovy was a Tsardom. Organized according to the format of the extinct Byzantine bureaucracy, with touches of Slavic autocracy and Mongol capillarity. An extremely centralized state, it did not admit the self-government of his domains, and used a typically Tartar technique of conquest: Sending emissaries, which gradually obtained concessions and influence, until the point that they could simply ostracize local elites, and replace them by its own. Loyalty had its rewards, and rebellion implied in ruin. Using the mass of free man from of the border zones, Muscovy turned them into a warrior aristocracy - the Cossacks - willing to expand the Muscovite domains in exchange for their respective share. Serving as a buffer between the attacks of the Muslims of Crimea and the Caucasus, they also dominated one of the most fertile zones in the world, the Pontic Steppe. Geography was another important factor. The Ottomans had access to two oceans, but these oceans were not intercommunicable, and the lack of supply stations between the Mediterranean and Arabian Sea made military fleet transit an impractical task. In the end, two great fleets had to be administered independently. Although maritime transport was a rule, the few waterways within the Ottoman territory were completely disconnected from each other, forcing the much less reliable and efficient land transport in several long stretches. The mobility of military forces was a logistical nightmare, so that the state began to give more preference to fixed garrisons - which, in the rare times of peace, were enough; but in the frequent times of war, were ineffective. Muscovy, in another hand, had a myriad of rivers, which with relative ease linked the ends of its increasingly expansive territory. From the rods of Moscow to the bowels of Siberia, garrisons, supplies and goods could easily move. The conquest of Siberia was smoothly, not only for the technical superiority of the Muscovites, but by the logistical superiority. Venice, in this age, was called Mare Regina; Moscow very well could call herself Flumens Regina. It was a potamic power; a Leviathan swimming in rivers. The irrigated plain was only interrupted by the Ural Mountains, and continued beyond, enabling the full expansion to the East. Not everything were blossoming flowers for Moscow. The conquest of Siberia greatly strengthened Muscovite rule, but there was a fundamental weakness in the West: the Great European Plains. The same vastness that enabled Muscovites to subdue Tartars, Bashkirs, Chuvashs, Mordovians, Maris, and opened Asia to the Russians, also allowed the Ottoman and Poles to attack the heart of their domains without resistance - which they repeatedly did, respectively sacking Moscow (1571) and launching Muscovy in an interregnum (1598-1613). And there comes the Cossacks. Descendants of free farmers of the extinct Russiya Zemlya, which was essentially erased by the brutal Mongol invasion, they were warriors shaped by the absolute anarchy. In their Orthodox faith, they would see Tsar as a liberator from the yoke of the Turkish Heathen and the Polish Heretic. In the 17th century, they would operate as a true living wall around Muscovy, gradually becoming the tide of Ruthenian Plains. As the Left-Bank Ukraine swears loyalty to Tsar in 1648, Muscovy acquires a powerful natural border in the Dnieper, also isolating Crimea. We analyzed The Statecraft and Geography. Now let's go to the economy. On the surface, at least, it seems that the Ottoman had a substantial advantage. But this is merely on the surface. As we have seen, Russia had better logistics integration, thanks to the wide river network. On the other hand, the mercantile and manufacturing class were small and distant from power centers. Economic power rested in the landed aristocracy - the boyars and the Cossacks, and the bulk of productivity was agrarian. The Russian economy was essentially agrarian, except by the exploration and trade of skins and wood in deep interior. It would be these same boyars that, in the course of Muscovy's reforms and its transformation into the Russian Empire, would fill the positions of manufacturers and industrialists, this time directing efforts to exploit the huge natural resources on the Russian territory. The Ottomans, on the other hand, reversed this pyramid. A strong mercantile class, manufacturing guilds, and extreme weakness in the agrarian class. The problem is that this same economically weak class composed a significant part of the economically active population. Due to the manipulation of interests, and the constraints that the Sharia imposes on taxation, a solution found to maximize the budget was to increase taxes on agrarian production, which essentially nullified the profitability of agricultural activity. Those who did not live on subsistence would hardly realize any advantage in producing food and inputs in surplus. Unless the farm was linked to a supply chain as a direct supplier (for example, a weaving workshop that raise sheeps), high productivity would hardly generate profits - which encouraged low productivity and reduced the rural manpower. In continuous stagnation, the Ottoman agrarian class has never had the slightest chance of experiencing the transition from estate to industry. As they could not accumulate capital, they had nothing to invest, nor could ever dream of competing with the established guilds. The contrast was invisible in the seventeenth century, noticeable in the eighteenth century, and stark in the nineteenth century. While Metternich foresaw a future world order led by Russia and the United States, due to the sheer size of their manpower, natural resources, waterways and fertile lands, the Sublime Porte had turned into the Sick Man.

If you let Turks write history they were never defeated. 😂

Great video. The British and French were seriously misguided in defending the Ottomans from Russia during the 19th century. In the 1850s, instead of propping up the collapsing Turks during the Crimean war, the British and French should have let Russia capture Constantinople and then taken the Middle East for themselves - which they did anyway during and after WW1. Constantinople would again have been restored to great south east European and Orthodox Christian city that it once was and should be again..

wow this is well produced! looks awesome! keep it up! glad the algorithm offered me this channel. well done!

So the reason Turkey hasent been Russia for a few hundred years are other Europeans. Didnt know that

Incroyable vidéo. Elle va remettre des vérités en place aux yeux de certains. Merci la Russie de nous avoir sauvé de ces barbares plusieurs fois. 🙏🏻🇷🇺💖

In history class they taught us first war Ottoman lost was against Russia.It was the first agreement they signed that was not in Turkish.Also Ottomans kept losing to Russia continuosly.

Very well explained, the production quality is insane.

This channel truly deserves better, nice job!

The production quality alone makes it deserving of more views.

Amazing video production. Now it's about when a video will blow up, don't give up while you can continue! A like for me

I just want to add something: In 1804 Serbs rose against the Ottomans, first against the oppressive local Janissary leaders (Dahi(je)) and afterwards against the Ottoman empire as a whole. In 1806 both sides were ready to sit down have talks and sign... something. But Serbs were encouraged by the Russian promise of intervention to fall back on the talks and continue fighting - which they did, sometimes even jointly until 1812 when Russians withdrew expecting Napoleon's invasion. The isolated Serbian rebels lasted until 1813.

Nice overview. Thanks!

Hohols tell me ukraine was there? WHERE 😂😂😂😂

This is quickly becoming my favorite history channel! Keep it up!

The Ottomans literally the Wests punching bag….lol 🤣

the cross over St. Sophia in Constantinople. The Russians would almost have done it if it hadn't been for the British.

Quite an extensive amount of conflicts between the two nations occurred in the Caucuses, it would've been great if you covered that as well

What I was amazed with is how you included the politics and excuses to invade each other. Very useful for what's going on nowadays.

Ivan Terrible (incorrect translation - Inspiring respect and looking powerful) one of the greatest figures in Russian history, the founder of the Russian empire from disparate principalities. The smartest and most witty man, his diplomatic correspondence has been preserved, if you are interested, read it.

Other than one minor mistake at 10:13 I think this is a great video. Can't wait to see more!

Keep makin videos man. This shit is fire

Ivan the Terrible is Ivan the Strict in Russia, not Ivan the Terrible

Ottomans drink their own spunk!

Awesome stuff man. Little thing. You got the dates for the Crimean war a century off lol

Nice video keep it up love your content

I sense a good future for your channel god willing.

Leave it to Britain to prevent Constantinople from becoming re-christianized

Dude your videos are top notch! Keep it up, I think you’re hitting the algorithm!

Great stuff

Nice video good qualty keep up the good work👍

Ottoman joined these wars knowing they will lost. The purpose was not to win but to not surrender

Underrated channel

HistoryMarche has gifted you a new subscriber

Great video. What do you use for animation? I'm quite impressed by the quality

This needs WAY more views. Very good editing job!

KInd of weird how throughout the existence of Russian Empire, Moscow is constantly highlighted instead of it's capital, which was St. Petersburg

which video editor program do you use for this awesome work?

Well done 👍

Except for 3 wars, Russians had the courage to confront the Turks with their European friends.

This is a great overview, I’m gonna show this to my students. Very easy to follow!

Nice history lesson but, how did they do it?

Nice video, very good being made

This channel has potential 🧐

This is an awesome video! I can't wait to see more! Also your voice is amazing, reminds me of history marche and kings and generals mixed together. God bless you my friend!

Interesting and amazing.

You should use different colours for the countrys

@HistoryMarche sent me hear and I'm not disappointed!

Please background Music from 4:30 ?? :(

what is up with these colors for the map?

Such an underrated channel.

I admire your production of this high quality content but it lacks some minor additions like showing more dates when historical events are talked about

Great visual format!❤

Great video 😊

Turkish cope in these comments is off the charts, what kind of excuse is "they were occupied with other conflicts", or "they were never alone", as if the Russian state wasn't in a near constant state of crisis and being raided non stop by several hordes, or as if the ottomans were never shrewd when they allied france, the most dominant european power until the rise of the late british and russian empires

First Balkan uprising against the Turks was in Serbia in 1804 which ended in 1811, followed than by the second Serbian uprising in 1813, which proved to be more successful providing autonomy for Serbia under Ottoman rule. Serbia was recognised as formally independent from the Ottomans in 1878, but from 1815 until 1878 had pretty independent run as a Principality of Serbia with its own institutions and ruling families. I guess that is important if we speak about the history of the Balkans :)

Nice content. What are you using for your graphics?

Say can you do one with the Spanish and Aztecs when Hernan Cortez and many native tribes united against them

Correction on the Crimean war the Ottomans joined as well on the battlefield.

Many don’t realize Russia would have captured Constinople in ww1 if not for the Bolshevik revolution.

When RU-vid videos learn you history better then school.

Ukraine: You have freed us! Russia: Oh I wouldn't say freed, more like under new management!

Russia will free Christian from muslim ottomans but France & Britain help muslim.

It never ceases to amused me how the ultimate biggest opponents the Russians hungarians and austrians Cease to be Empires before the ottomans did by a handful of years

In your explanation of the Crimean war, I saw a note about the date that is erroneous: "Crimean war: "1953-1957"

I think u should make another video and its name should be how ottoman empire humiliated europeans over and over again

You forgot to add how Peter the "Great" bribed Ottoman generals to let him go after the disastrous Pruth campaign.

the map is very faint

Great!

Great Documentary

Tsardom of Russia: "We've won and freed ourselves from the Mongol yoke! We are the master of the [Eurasian steppe]!" House of Osman: "You think [Eurasian steppe] is your ally. But you merely adopted it; I was born in it, molded by it" Tsardom of Russia: "You've forsaken your root, old man. Now I'll teach you a lesson."
