Stranded From the Ottoman Slave Trade 

@Chad Alphabeta raid of iceland was done by barbary pirates from the pirate mini state of sale (today part of the moroccan capital rabat-sale) they weren't turks or ottomans, althou the icelandic ppl where sold to turks soooo. wanted to shift the blame from the turks and only made it worse

and the black people too! And the sad thing is...its it is still happening in libya

Probably too insignificant

@@giraffelord750 no it isnt

@Liam Connington The number of people captured were 107 (highest estimate is 237), they were mostly English settlers (funny that) and The attack was led by a Dutch captain, Jan Janszoon van Haarlem. Also part of the crew were dutch. Cork history booooooy.

Best and most relevant response on this video.

+Brian Garrow Most slaves were not prisoners of war!!

@@petcharles1971 my ancestors used to sell their children's to the ottoman and sometime they were raids for slave but honestly we don't care that much... We even have more reasons to be proud to be honest

It depends when and where you are talking about. Likely the majority of slaves over history were captives taken during raids, which are decidedly one-sided acts of war. After that the next biggest group were captured in actual war or tribal conflicts. This is how it was done mostly everywhere: when your side lost your people were either killed, enslaved, or driven away from their land. The whole "prisoner of war" thing is an artifact of more modern caste or nobility systems where ransoms and prisoner exchanges became a thing. Even then most common troop were either killed, enslaved, or simply pressed into service by the opposing army; only those of noble birth and officers were ransomed or imprisoned, seeing as the upkeep for that is rather expensive for little return. After captured persons, slaves bred in captivity are probably the next largest group, only because few societies allowed the raising of families by slaves, only those that allowed inter-generational slavery, and functional infanticide was commonly practiced in many times and places ie. if they didn't outright kill the slave infants directly, conditions were such that most of the children didn't survive weaning. After that in no particular order are those sold by their families into slavery, other debt-slaves and criminals.

But we still live with the legacy that certain brutalities of the past that have shaped how we are all socialized

America also still have slaves

@Joshua Regan America has replaced old slavery by modern slavery

@@daoudkamal7768 western Anatolia was Greek atleast

@Joseph Lisitza ur delusional Greek civilization has been influencing the middle east anatolia and the entire Mediterranean since the bronze age and until the fall of byzantines it was ended because of the Arabs after over 2000 years existence u can't really say there influence was minimal and short lived

Yes but Greeks were never native to Anatolia.

Over 3 million people are estimated to have been enslaved by the Tatars and later sold on the Ottoman slave markets. From the territories of Ukraine and Russia. Plus, Circassia. Thrice more are estimated to have been killed for every slave captured. Even Moscow was almost sacked, but the Tatars failed and it got burned down instead. The first sich was formed in the 16th century by the Ruthenian noble from Rzeczpospolita - Dmytro Vyshnevetsky. The Cossacks didn't stop the Tatar raids on the Orthodox population of the Rzeczpospolita. They fought Turks and Tatars, as well as raided them and sacked their cities, freeing people, but they never stopped the slave raids. Those were stopped only after the Russian Empire conquered Crimea.

@@edizy6547 There were no native Persian groups in Anatolia. The Anatolian groups preceding the groups were heavily hellenised well before the arrival of the Turks. They were at least as 'Greek' as the current Turks of Anatolia are 'Turks' - in fact likely far more so.

@Ediz Y Hittites weren't a Persian people, you ignorant prick. Persians hadn't existed yet in those centuries; their linguistic ancestors were still living in eastern Ukraine and southern Russia back then. The Hittites, Luwians, Lydians, Lycians, Troyans spoke languages that belong to the Anatolian subfamily of Indo-European whereas Persian language belongs to the Indo-Iranian subfamily.

It's what they want you to forget. People are making it seem like only white Europeans did slavery, when in fact almost every race and culture had some prior or still have a form of slavery.

Probably because it took place on the other side of the world.

Normally Arabs in the Gulf States use it to make a distinction between themselves and other Arabs or Muslims who settled in their countries during the 20th century, or don't belong to one of the old and often noble families.

@@flightographist some girl just tried to tell me white people invented racism and slavery, i just simply sent her this videos among a few others

Me too, I've seen and talked to way to many leftists who say that only white people are racist and that white people invented slavery. I send them articles on the Barbary slave trade, Arab slave trade, ottoman slave trade and trans Sahara slave trade.

Slave trade was in everywhere because slavery was a system of production and all civilized societies used it. But there is great difference between this and black American slavery. In Islam, the slave has rights, and owner has oblogations against the slave. It is a low social status, but still a human status. Actually, in Muslim countries slave supply was always short, slave was expensive, and not much use for heavy labour. The problem was that slaves becoming muslim, amd their children (born as muslim) cannot continue slave status. In one or two generations slave turned to waged labour. This is why supply never met the demand. There was no racial status that separated slave and the owner. One can become slave against the debt he cannot pay back, or was captured during the war. Ottomans used white european slaves mostly, caught during their wars against Christians. Or they collected young boys from christian subjects. They were getting education and training in the Porte to become soldiers and civil servants. This kind of slave (Kul) was a Sultan's (public) property. They often had a huge salary and nice retirement options. They were so disintguished that even Muslim families wanted their children too could enter these ranks, and finally the state accepted this demand. In American black slave case however the slave was not even a human. America used slaves even after they reached industrialization, and developed laws and humanist ideology, modern concepts of freedom and human rights. How they still could hold and use slaves is due to only one factor. It was racism. Appearantly even 150 years after abolishment of slavery, the racism is still a problem in US and Western societies. Is there racism in Islamic countries? Certainly there must be some racism went on somewhere. But it is such rare that historians cannot actually see any important influence of it.

Arabic derived in arabia, from an aramaic dialect/- semetic/canonite language. ( Aramaic which was lingua franca of middle east at a period because it’s easy writing system, trade/bussinesmen. Aramean is 3000 years old or possibly older, while arabic is 1400 years old. We call us Arameans from Aram and lived in different places all over middle east/like states. We are middle eastern semetic). Syriac, Assyrian, Chaldean all are brothers from different parts of middle east, and speak aramaic. Assyrians speak assyrian dialect/neo-aramaic. So I would say I’’m syriac-aramean because i speak syriac dialect, comes from north Aram/Turabdin (north Aram) todays south east Turkey. And 1/4 of my family is assyrian. Syriac dialect spoken mostly in ancient north Syria and south Turkey and Assyrian/neo aramaic in north Iraq. And old aramaic in west asia (Lebanon, Israel, Palestisn).

Ottomans are Turks idiot

Suede Component I'd agree. As much as these frustrated young white males would like to think otherwise, the focus on the transatlantic slave trade is very much a symptom of western intellectual hegemony. As the balance of global power shifts, so might the focus on history. Maybe some day the Arab slave trade will capture as much of our attention as the transatlantic one.

It's not the way of "Eurocentrism" to attribute false legitimacy to inferiror cultures and therefore inevitably havingo to ignore their shortcomings to do so.

Not true, western schools do teach about non-European cultures and history, eg the Native Americans, Incas, Mayans, Chinese & japanese history, but the topic of slavery seems to focus entirely on the trans-atlantic slave trade in the English speaking world whilst ignoring the trans-saharan slave trade. It seems like this is done simply to guilt white people into thinking that their ancestors brought this great evil of slavery onto the world. Your hypothesis quickly falls apart when you consider that a million Slavs and other southern and eastern Europeans were indeed enslaved by Turks & Moors. If the statement "the West being very Eurocentric" is true in regards to teaching history to children, why is this part of European history omitted?

@@Anon-nv7bp they don't talk about westerners selling slavs to Arabs

The Unknown Greeks and Armenians aren’t white.

Yemen and the Middle East used to be Cushitic like east Africans and so was the whole middle east until all the invasions over the millenia of Greeks Romans Mongols Turks and Drividians made it a melting pot. Now the middle east is no longer black cushite.

Mr Person01 There is no "African" look, since Africa is racially diverse. Many Arabs have mixed with Bantus due to slave trade. However, there is also a much older Cushite admixture that is present in places like Yemen, Oman and Socotra, since Cushites have conquered Yemen in the past & have been trading & mixing with Semites for a very long time.

Tell us about your enslaved ancestors and how it influences your current status in society. I’m willing to guess that trolling is just a by product of you twatish existence through the centuries, never understanding anything.

To nejolo matrilo, you clearly took what I said personally, just look at that comment. I for one will not even jest the idea of participating in an argument with you, but I'll gladly explain why I said what I said. I come from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a place where modern slavery is still rife. My mother was a sex slave and I was born into slavery also and put into forced labor at an early age. I was rescued by the save the children foundation and given somewhere safe to stay and was also given a chance to go to school where I got to get a real education and earn my future. My mother was a slave and her mother before that was a slave. My ancestors were slaves and I saw what slavery looked like first hand. The first chance I could I immigrated to the UK. With the internet I see so much and learn so much of the world I never knew existed. One thing I cannot stand is when I see some of the African American people act as though they'd experienced slavery when they were not even alive to witness it. There is real problems in this world like modern slavery and they protest about what happened before their life times that doesn't happen anymore to their people. They are effectively crying over long spilled milk. Nobody is going to enslave them anymore as they're living in a country where slavery is not allowed by the laws of their lands. It annoys me they are angry with people who never existed in the times they never existed. Times change, but their opinions of white Americans stay the same. The people of Congo have enslaved one another, however I don't feel hatred towards my people. My children will never feel a hatred of my people and they will not be born to see the slavery first hand. I think it's time for people to move on from the past and work towards a better future for everyone involved instead of petty race revenge against people who cannot explain or repent for the crimes of their ancestors.

Blue Bowser You sound like you’ve been enlightened given you are NOT in the Congo. A place you would never go back to. If you were to have been stuck in the Congo with no measure of escape I think you wouldn’t feel so priviledged yo think this way. But you are in a nice place now and would never understand why these African Americans would be so limited. Why don’t you go back to the Congo and have Jim Crow and racist policies still affect your ability to access success and after centuries pass show us how you fared. But this is obvious facts my snippy friend. Nothing personal here. Again experience and understanding the circumstance. You are obviously pointing out the circumstantial differences between the UK and the Congo and how it affects you behaviour. Don’t take this personally.

Blue Bowser The same way you speak of your ancestry, I speak of mine. The majority of my ancestors were enslaved West/Central Africans..it is simply a fact. The idea of ‘race’ was used as a justification to keep my ancestors enslaved. The idea of ‘race’ kept people of my ancestry from having almost any rights up until the 1960’s when the laws were changed. However, vast discrimination was present up until the 1990’s. You have no idea what my father went through in this country. He was born in 1955. You have no idea what racism feels like..as I do. It affects every aspect of my life, yet I hate no one. Tell me if you could do that?
