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... ). This second episode will show 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. In this series we are planning to cover every major battle of the Ottoman empire, including Kosovo, Nicopolis, Ankara, Varna, 2nd Kosovo, Constantinople, Belgrade, Targoviste, Otlukbeli, Vaslui, Valea Alba, Skanderbeg's rebellion, Breadfield, Krbava, Otranto, Chaldiran, the Ottoman-Mamluk War of 1516-1517, siege of Rhodes in 1522, Mohacs of 1526, Vienna of 1529, Preveza, Gorjani, Castelnuovo, Buda, Eger, Malta, Szigetvar, Famagusta, Lepanto and much, much more!

These were the early days of the Ottoman empire where religiousness, Islam and simplicity were at there zenith among the Turks. Orhan and his brother were two young men, fully dedicated to serving people for the sake of God and not for personal benefit or desire so ofcourse they got along well. Unlike later Ottoman sultans and people who weren't as religious or had too much love for this temporary world.

@@muhammadsaad847 bro you are totally wrong :D in early period of Ottomans Ottoman is just a beylik ruling by nomadic Turkish laws. Mehmed II the conqueror legislate a kanunname and a chapter about killing brothers for greater purpose (avoid civil wars) You can find it as a Fatih Kanunnamesi inside a chapter it wrote that ''Ve her kimseye evlâdımdan saltanat müyesser ola, karındaşların Nizâm-ı Âlem için katl eylemek münasiptir. Ekser ûlema dahi tecviz etmiştir. Anınla âmil olalar.'' for English “Whichever of my children rises to the throne, it is appropriate for him to kill his brothers in order to maintain world order. Most religious scholars have also confirmed this. Let them follow this rule.” Mehmed the conqueror known as most clever sultan in history of Otttoman Empire. And also you are telling me he had ''too much love for the world''. He lived his life on horseback and fighting.

While civil war was exhausting Byzantium, the Turks conducted frequent [naval] incursions from Asia "with the help of monemes and triremes [galley ships having, respectively, one and three banks of oars], making their way with impunity into Thrace, especially during harvest season, seizing livestock, carrying off women and children into slavery, and causing such evils that these regions afterward remained depopulated and uncultivated. That was one of the reasons for the famine that the Byzantines had to endure.”100

One thing I would've liked you to go into more detail about is why the Byzantines were always so outnumbered in these fights. Even from the initial Ottoman conquests when they had nearly no territory compared to the Byzantines, they still had a larger force in almost every engagement shown here. Were the bulk of the Byzantine forces busy in the Balkans, or just that drained by civil war and the decentralization of imperial authority?

@user-ln8eh5nq3q Год назад

I think both by the late 13th century when the eastern Romans took back Constantinople ( 1261 ) they couldn't raise big armies ( tens of thousands ) like the komnenoi did one century ago because their lands where smaller but still big inaf although devastated by the crusades or the Bulgarians if we are talking about Thrace and makedon futhermore as you said their armies where always spilt up on the Balkans and Asia minor l think the biggest army that Michael palaiologos could raise was below 10000 troops futhermore the civil wars played a big role on draining the already low manpower as you see on the video especially in the later centuries 14th - 15th . Hopefully this will help you

@tatarcavalry2342 Год назад

Good question and answer but you should also consider the fact that there was not only Kayı tribe in Ottomans there were also minor tribes who also had hundreds of tents and there were 5 people in a tent for average. Their woman knew hunting and self defence every family had their herds horses and weapons so men could easily depart for war in masses without much looking back. And the reason for this heavy migration were numerous and changed from time to time.

@tolgatosun5675 Год назад

I totally agree with your points. Aditionally, comparision of land sizes of these two states can mislead us. When Osman I had successful battles and raids against Eastearn Roman Empire, he became very famous. Also, there were huge migration from Central Asia and Iran into Anatolia due to Mongol raids. Osman I was one of the best leader can give them land, wealth and security. Most of the Turks were joining his cause from Anatolia especially warriors. This is one of the reasons how they can have big forces during the early stages of the empire.

@ozymandiasultor9480 Год назад

@@MarkhasSteelfort Those "small" states liberated themself, and the Ottoman Empire, which was called "the sick man on Bosphorus" made that "Tanzimat" an attempt for reform, but it was too little, too late, and the corruption made everything hard. That is why I think that Ataturk came to the right place at the right moment... Because, it was not only Balkan states, Turkey was losing territory, and great powers were really eager to grab and destroy that state. But Ataturk was agnostic, saw the danger of religion, was a very good military leader, and managed to save Turkey, he made the modern Turkish republic, secular, and with proper reforms... The only black spot, and it is really black was the Armenian genocide... But the result on the Balkan peninsula was such because there were too few Muslims and way too small number of soldiers, while all 4 countries (4 if we count Montenegro) had support... The black spot of that war? 3 bigger states, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece occupied Macedonia and never let that nation have any chance to make its own state. But history was such that one part, some 35 percent I think is free now, and it has the name "North Macedonia" if I am not mistaken. I have friends in all those states.

If so, the original fratricide would've been avoided, removing the precedent entirely from the Empire.

@@guneygacka774 Out of all listed, Şehzade Mustafa would've done the most. Even without Süleyman Paşa, Murad I and his descendants did an excellent job at expanding the Empire, even conquering Constantinople (although Bayezid I got a bit too arrogant which cost the Empire half a century). Cem Sultan, although he would've been a great Warrior-Sultan, would've completely drained the Ottoman Economy as his father had done, with his brother Bayezid II being the better option as he consolidated power throughout the Ottoman territories (but yet again, the end of his reign was weakness due to his inability or rather indifference to the Safavid threat that would've conquered East Anatolia). Had Osman II been more patient, he could've fixed the Empire back into its prime self and have a better warrior reputation than his brother Murad IV, or his project could've failed drastically as it did irl. That leaves Şehzade Mustafa, who would've ascended the throne during literal peak years of the Empire where the Army was (arguably) the best in the world and actually willing to go on campaigns. Mustafa's popularity, skills, and ambition were enough to encourage his Army to fight with all their might, frighten all of Europe, and find a path to somehow conquer Rome as his ancestor Mehmed II desired.

I can hardly believe he could gather 10k army in that period, having in mind size of the country. 2-4k seems more likely.

@Semperidem94 Год назад

No he could have gathered that number. Remember there were many big and small turkic tribes settling within the ottoman beylik, and every male member of those tribes were raiders who would love to join any campaign if there are looting, which would be plenty.

@wewenang5167 Год назад

most of its were mercenaries from other turkic tribes, not all came from the same beyliks, they even got some Tartar with them.

@ozymandiasultor9480 Год назад

It influenced certain regions in some way, I live in a country that was for centuries under their rule, and that period we call in our history as " Turkish slavery, or Ottoman slavery, and we don't see that big period as something really good, it influenced in a bad way most of the Balkan peninsula, they had especially cruel tax, which was just for the Christians, we call it, "tax in blood", and they have some name for that, devshirme system I think...They were literary taking, kidnapping the best of the best of the children, were changing the religion of those by force, which should not be done according to Islam, were brainwashing them, and were turning them into Jannisaries, elite soldiers, who, in very bad irony were tormenting and often killing their own people. Sure, some of those were able to prosper as Osman Pasha Sokolovic, they called him Sokologly, Sokol is Falkon, he reached the position of the vizier, and that is something like a prime minister, but that system, meritocracy, was until the 16th century when the Empire passed it zenith. The best period is when with Ottoman Empire ruled "10 good Sultans", that is how those are known, from Osman, the first one, up until Suleiman the Magnificent, which they call Kanuni, Lawmaker. After that... slowly but surely all was going downward when the power went to Selim the drunkard, the son of Hurem, wife of Suleiman. Suleiman killed his very capable son, and the tradition was cut...

Amazing on how well orderly and powerfull the Turks were plus the advantage of the civil war and the falling Empire. Also one of the reasons Turks could rise was because they were so nice to people like how Osman gave all his wealth to the poor, the Ottoman sultans always ruled with justice and even wanted less tax from the byzantinian people than their own Byzantinian lords and governors wanted from them! Basically proud on the Turks.

@ao4060 Год назад

Great work once again yet the majority of the cities presented in the map have their Turkish names even though they are still under Roman control, for reasons of historical accuracy you should change the names of the cities to their roman names so that they resemble the situation of that time period, just before the Ottoman conquest and not today's names. For example in 16:51 there is a city still under Roman control called Tekirdağ the correct name for that period would be to be called Bisanthe or Bysanthe (Greek: Βισανθη/Βυσάνθη) and or Rhaedestus (Ῥαιδεστός) and it was renamed Rodosçuk after it fell to the Ottomans in the 14th century (in western languages it is usually rendered as Rodosto), after the 18th century it was called Tekfurdağı, based on the Turkish word tekfur, meaning "Byzantine lord".

thats not true though. Anatolia was in control of Turkish beyliks. There was no Roman control in Anatolia no more.

The early Turkic peoples who entered Anatolia are shown to look raciaIIy Caucasian (14:30, 7:56), when in actuality they had pronounced mongoloid traits and were raciaIIy part of the ”Tungid” and “Turanid” raciaI types of central-Asia. In future episodes perhaps you should consider portraying Seljuks / early ottomans with more central Asian / Tungid features. Regards

The Empire never really recovered from the 1204 sack of Constantinople by the Latins IMO. It limped on for the last 200 years of its existence, but continued to lose territory during that time until only Constantinople itself was left.
