Rest of the world was playing eu4 while the ottomans were playing hoi4

The fact The Ottoman Empire has the crescent moon facing East while the empire they’re conquering has it facing West

The Mamluks death sentence was signed when they lost the Indian Ocean spice trade to the Portuguese, they had to raise taxes so much that rebellions and dissent became all too common.

Forgot the part where Sultan Selim 1 was the first person since Alexander the Great to have crossed the Sinai desert with his army. A feat which even the mongols could not achieve

"Courage leads a man to victory, in determination to danger, and in cowardice to death." -Selim I

Simple, because the Ottomans had Conquer Egypt casus belli, and the appropriate event triggered.

Yavuz Sultan Selim heaped the treasury of the Ottoman Empire and it was sealed with his imperial seal. Then he testamentized that whoever any of a sultan on his descendance could fill the treasury more than that he did, then he would have had the treasury sealed with his own seal. The treasury of the Ottoman Empire was kept to be seal with the Yavuz Sultan Selim's seal for 405 years up untill its official end in 1922.

Nicely done video. I saw a video today on HistoryMarche about the battle that won the Ottoman's Egypt. It was great. And worth watching.

I feel as though part of this is misleading. The Mamluk heavy cavalry was probably better than the Ottomans. The Mamluks may have recruited peasants, but much of the Ottoman force were Ghazis and irregular cavalry. Maybe not "peasants" per se, but not disciplined warriors by any stretch. The Ottomans core force (though not the largest part, by any strecth) were the Janissaries and Sipahi (heavy cav). The Ottomans defintely had more guns and firepower, but that was only the artillery and the Janissaries. The video makes it seem like the Ottomans were fully equiped with firearms, but both sides used bows, lances and other melee weapons. The Janissaries were maybe 7100 (on paper) out of the 60,000ish Ottoman troops. So, firearms ddefinitely played a major role in these battles.

I am very happy that I discovered this channel. I have been following it for two years.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

Been waiting patiently for another video love them all

The Mamluk sultanate is the sultanate of slaves. During the Ayyubid sultanate, Kipchak Turkics and Circassians, brought as slaves from the north of the Black Sea and the Caucasus, were included in the army and took over the government by making a palace coup against the Ayyubid sultanate. One of the commanders of the Mamluk army, usually the head of the Mamluk sultanateit would pass. By stopping the Mongol advance in the Middle East, the Mamluks prevented Syria, Egypt and the Hejaz regions from falling under Mongol rule, and eliminated the last remnants of the Crusaders in the Middle East. The Mamluk Sultanate was an important state in terms of Islamic history.

Suddenly, the exact shape of the Eastern Roman Empire was accomplished. But now under an Islamic ruler...

Nice video

Sultan Selim I carried out unimaginable actions and made the Ottoman Empire a truly great global state in 1517. The Ottoman Empire also maintained his conquests for 4 Centuries. Likewise, the area of ​​the Ottoman Empire reached during the reign of Sultan Selim 6.5how much May God have mercy on the Commander of the Faithful and Caliph of the Muslims, Sultan Selim.

Great vid! Greetings from The Netherlands.

That's interesting. HistoryMarche put a video up covering the same exact period with Selim I on the same day as Knowledgia hours before at noon.

nice keep it up

THE TURKS AND THE WEST from 11 days. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot." During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , understanding the Turks ‘ military organization , given the credit for the greatest empire since antiquity , became a major European preoccupation . Speake, J., n.d. Literature of travel and exploration. p.891. By the middle of the 16th century, the Turks arguably possessed the greatest empire in the world. A History of the Middle East Paperback - March 15, 2006 by Saul S. Friedman (Author) p.181

1:12 Funny that you use an image with misspelling. :D Cold Beach on D-day landing. LOL :D

8 yıla 80 yıl sığdıran Padişahım 😎

History Marsh also uploaded today a video about that war too

Wow!!!This is a brilliant content and hats of to the Ottoman Empire for their success in conquering Egypt,good friends!!!:-D

Mamluks: "We're the greatest Muslim power around!" Ottomans: "Hold my coffee."

My favorite history channel .. I'll put my request/idea for you guys cuz i would like to see Greek series from Minoans to FallUnder Rome .. Series like you already did for RomanEmpire/Republic .. thanks in advance 😅😊

Historymarche and knowledgia each produced a video about the same battle on the same day, that's impressive

I wonder how many leaders just keeled over from a heart attack once they knew they were done.

history rhymes, this feels like the war of alexanders generals but islamic version. thank u i learned alot

1.04 2.06 Did you do this because of my suggestion Or was this already preplanned just asking?

How can you make videos like this? I mean history on the map, I've been wanting to learn for a long time, but I don't know how))

On the topic I strongly recommend to integrate with Schwerpunkt's Ottoman warfare content

Selim like Timur is a great example that marrying into Chinggisid royalty and becoming a son in law of Genghis Khan, turns one into a world conqueror. Timur through the house of Chagatai and Selim through the Jochids :)

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage (video) about the Ottoman Empire successful campaign against the Egyptian Mamluke empire collapsed and invaded of Cairo ...thank you 🙏 ( Knowledge) channel

How do you create these videos

In 1517 the Ottoman sultan Selim I (1512-20), known as Selim the Grim, conquered Egypt, defeating the Mamluk forces at Ar Raydaniyah, immediately outside Cairo. The origins of the Ottoman Empire go back to the Turkish-speaking tribes who crossed the frontier into Arab lands beginning in the tenth century. Having failed to adopt field artillery as a weapon in any but siege warfare, the Mamluks were decisively defeated by the Ottomans both in Syria and in Egypt and from 1517 onward constituted only one of the several components that formed the political structure of Egypt. The usual answer to the question is that Ottomans had superior weapons and fire power as well as up to date military tactics. The Mamluks fought in traditional way.

The Ottoman Empire was essentially the same as the Byzantine Empire gathered in pieces and broke up gradually.

And when the Ottoman Empire became like former eastern roman Empire it control all the main trading sea route to east then the Christian European could no longer trader properly and peacefully thus the age of exploration began with vasco da gama for founding new route to trade with east in new sea route

Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack that starts around minute 1?

Both you and HistoryMarche made a video about this on the same day, I am very lucky

This is a huge aggressive expansion. Good thing no coaliation was made against the ottomans. This would cost a great deal of admin points though, coring all of the provinces.

It's all fun and games with history until it hits too close to home.

You can easily tell only English sources were used as Ottoman army was vast majority cavalry not infantry. According to Turkish sources Ottoman army had 8,000 Janissaries, 4,000 Kapıkulu heavy cavalry and around 40,000 Sipahis. So 60,000 number is quite accurate but cavalry ratio was 4:1 at least and that was why Ottoman was very keen to catch Mamluks in a pitched battle instead of a defensive war. Because of this heavy cavalry army Ottoman always struggled to capture castles and towns that cavalry was useless in sieges. So Sultan Selim wasn't sending envoys to trick Mamluks rather he was acting like Ottoman was weak so Mamluks would dare to face them in a pitched battle which was exactly what happened. According to Turkish sources Ottoman cannons were causing heavy casualties for Mamluks so they threw everything for an all out assault on Ottoman sides where light armoured Sipahis were positioned. Sipahis were light armored skirmish forces and they could not handle heavy combat well so they struggled a bit but managed to repel Mamluks. Soon after entire Mamluk battle formation collapsed. Also Turkish sources very clearly state Hayır Bey retreated after right wing collapsed because of Mamluk casualties not before. About Mamluk sultan Ottoman forces just found him dead on the battlefield, nobody exactly knew how he died. It is believed he died from falling from his horse but it is even possible his own soldiers killed him. Entire battle took 8 hours, vast majority of Mamluk army got killed or captured while 2,000 Mamluks refusing to follow orders got executed after the battle. I don't know why western historians ridiculously act like Turkish sources are unreliable while it is all there without much fantasy or bias like ''instant stroke'' etc. You can argue English sources are better for youtube videos as they are full of spicy fantasy that i would agree..

He was great.

Can you please do one about the independence of the Dominican Republic from Haiti? It will be very interesting

Pretending your neighbours believe in a different religion just to starts wars haha

what happened to skanderbeg part 2

It was always so. The Hyksos conquered Egypt also in short order, and so did the Persians under Darius I and then Alexander.

The sultan death sounds like a sudden stroke or aneurysm

didnt HistoryMarch just upload a vidoe about

Crazy How long the mamluks even lasted.

Could you please answer my question

شكرًا

8:43 these are the symptoms of a seizure

12:00 How did they control the Caspian sea

if you read the details in the books of egyptians you relise that there were many misunderstandings and miscommunication that led to this conflict

In a study revealed by Alexander Lyon Mcfie in his book The End of the Ottoman Empire (2014), on the economic and social history of the Ottoman Turks, it unstoppable military was found that throughout force

They just had a really powerful casus belli

Napolyon saldırısına kadar Mısır 281 yıl Osmanlı Türk yönetiminde kaldı. 1882 ye hatta 1914 e kadar da Türk etkisi sürdü. Osmanlı öncesindeki Memlükler de zaten Türk devletiydi. Hatta Memlükler ülkelerine Türkiye derdi… Mısır’da halen halk üzerinde güçlü bir dostane ilişki olarak Türk etkisi vardır.

You mean Mamluk Mexico right?

It really is crazy how such a large country collapsed in just a year

11:58 you forgot to mention the Persian gulf

I'm not likely to give Google or Patreon a cut, but let me know if you ever start a Floatplane. They function as kind of a hybrid of the two platforms and take a lower percentage, allowing creators the choice to discount the subscription or take a bigger cut at the same price.

Me in EU4 only doing it in 3 wars with 20 year truces in between 😢

I just saw historymarche video

I love your videos. I also post history videos.

You never mentioned how Ottoman army past the Sinai desert in a short time with minimum loses. This alone proves military genius of Sultan Selim I and logistic capability of his empire.

Nice coincidence uploading alongside history marche about the same conflict

how did they control the Caspian sea ?

Moral of the story: Don't bring knife to a gun fight

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sultan had a stroke.

How did they control the Caspian?

Satisfying to do that in EU4 :)

You explained the two great wars, the Mercidabık and Ridaniye wars, very simply. It is described as if nothing much happened in the war and the huge Mamluk state was destroyed by two simple wars. I expected a more detailed and realistic explanation...

B.S, that’s like 308% warscore at LEAST. Selim 1 is using hacks

Sounds like the the old Sultan stroked out at the news that he lost.

Explain saljuqe empire

Fun fact - it's impossible to conquer Mameluks as Ottomans in 1 year in Europe Universalis 4

Agressive expansion was discovered in 1555 People before 1555:

Saad 2 muslims fighting, mamluks were the one who stopped the Mongols

They had no guns but cannons.

👍

Mohamed ali pasha 🔥🔥

Selim I conquered the Mamluks and humiliated the Safavids (who obviously like the Ottomans were Turkic) in 8 years. The Battles of Marj Dabiq and Chaldiran were tactical masterpiece by Selim who was undoubtedly a military genius.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Overextension +9999%

ottoman empired controlled caspian sea? how?

ottomans never controlled the Caspian sea! The fact that they had plundered Azerbaijan once, doesn't mean they controlled the Caspian Sea! There is historical data confirming ottoman presence in the Caspian Sea!!!!!

Otomans defite Mameluks ' cause they had early fire guns and Mameluks not!

I remember the themes when you were getting millions of views but now like most channels maximum 50,000 hit hard.

The first ottoman caliphate is selim 1. His son süleiman is second one, not first. Yea the süleiman conquered almost all african cost but he is not the first one.

annex mam That's how.

If you call yourself as a serious channel, you can not evaluate Conquest of Memlukes without Portuguese collonies in India and their effect on spice trade route

Sounds like he had a stroke

Because selim had very big balls

I wonder if Sultan Al-Ashraf Qasun Al-Ghawri had a stroke because his reaction to the battle has similarities to symptoms of a stroke. Because some of the symptoms of a stroke is half of your body being paralyzed and difficulty of keeping balance. Which both afflicted Sultan Al-Ashraf Qasun Al-Ghawri during the battle.

When crusaders were killing muslim in iberian peninsula, Auttoman were destroying another Islamic empire in stead of saving Muslim.
