Ten Minute History - The Rise of the Ottoman Empire (Short Documentary) 

Ten Minute History pls do it im studying about it in school

hype

Do 30 years war after. It is way to underrepresented considering its significance and magnitude on European politics.

Ten Minute History will there be a part 2 for this showing the decline of the Ottomans?

Oh I would love the Thirty Years War, huge impact on history.

Timestamp?

Well, it sort of worked in Germany in 1917 when the Kaiser put Lenin in a sealed rail car and sent it to Russia. “What could possibly go wrong with Germany, if we do this,” said the Kaiser.

Yeah Funny Ha!!

@kiril marinov no, he meant it's about mehmet brother being a "guest" in Constantinople. And he seems to be thorn on the Sultan side so Byzantine threaten to release him back to cause trouble if the Sultan didn't pay them money.

Is it fun there?

Антон Савва what do you think?

That's history for ya.

So basically the ottomans invaded Hungary and this would eventually lead to hitler

@@parakeetiscool7647 Therefore Islam is Hitler.

Well you’re not wrong.

Silly cavemen and their money 😑

Very true, but, go back to 10 thousands of years ago. I am talking about Cyrus the great/Persia they didn't have war. They started as conqiuerng places than conqiuering places which wanted to change rulers. Enentually their amry became very big, and conturys surened to them thats how it became giant (sorry for gammer I'm 10)

Not very true but mostly true to contrys like england and you should (no offines) bad spelling sorry

@@wakeupamerica2824 cavemen and all of that stuff is pre-history so they're stil not wrong

lmao but actually christians helped a lot well they have lost all of the wars between ottoman and byzantine they gave up on 10 november varna war. Byzantine survived because of christian army otherwise they wouldve lost years ago "easily". And they knew this was coming cuz byzantine surrounded by ottomans from the beginning. They were just resisting 🤷🏽‍♀️

Surprised pikachu face

Also Christians: Whatever, they weren’t Catholics. Back to fighting amongst ourselves.

The byzantines also used to say better the ottoman turban than the papal tiara

@@brian5128 I thought that's what protestants said.

@@fsdds1488 protestants were in the west and ottomans were in the east

Which is somewhat understandable since catholic Christians had conquered and sacked the city a few hundred years earlier in a crusading sidequest that got a bit out of hand.

J_Gamer Mapping only one side of the empire got defeated. the other side of roman empire was still in italy not defeated.

J_Gamer Mapping it was barely an empire

The Western Roman Empire fell way before the Eastern, imo. Even after the Byzantines reconquered the Italian peninsula, it wasn't the same.

Stavros constantinos I think you mean turkey not italy

Very cleaver, yes, your right.

They also didn't wanted to empower Muslim noble families since that would be a treat to the rule of Ottoman dynasty

Same for (the most) wifes of the sultans. They couldn't backed upped from there families to gain more power. Main reason that the Ottomans didn't mary girls from influence familiies or other kingdoms.

nah they used the medieval 2 exploit to crusade fellow crusaders

Wouldn't be surprised if they sacked it again in an alternate world where the conquest failed.

TripleMpro221 he was also a prisoner for about t years by those pirates

Vermoo303 Yeah, you are right, "El Quijote" is the Spanish name but "Don Quixote" is the common and international name

TripleMpro221 actually he was taken Captive by Ottomans and sent to constantinople. he originated from the turkish folk stories while he was writing that book

tihulu ! You are right. In captivity he started to think about "El Quixote" and wrote some ideas.

I heard that he was taken as slave by Algerian pirates..

Lmao. The Ottomans were as much the Roman Empire as the Holy Roman Empire was. Larpers all of them. Rome died with Constantine the 11th.

@@nowthatsjustducky peak comedy I guess

@C. C. A. they built on the classics which came mainly from ...you guessed It, constantinople

The crusades in Constantinople only weakened it. But the Ottoman would take the city anyway

Due to incompetent rulers and almost constant civil wars, Byzantium was bound to die at some point. Unless somehow they had some major reformer emperor like peter the great was for Russia. It also didn’t help that during the time of the competent Komnenos dynasty’s reign, the empire was trying to recapture Anatolia while also being invaded by the petchenegs, the normans, the bulgars and had crusader armies running across it sometimes even threatening to sack Constantinople. Like the Germans and French armies of the 3 crusade. At the same time its lack of navy meant giving Venice trading rights for its naval services which meant that only about 10% of the trading money stayed in the empire while the rest went to Venice. So yeah.... didn’t look good anyway. Manuel Komnenos had a chance but he wasted his time fighting everyone else but the Turks and when he decided to face them, they were united and ready for him. Then he marched his massive army through the narrow mountain passes like a moron.

Having a capital city at a very important trade route that every single neighbors around you want is not a good idea

Pls learn some history before talking. 4th crusade was 100 years before the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. And the Ottomans would take the city anyway, with or without 4th crusade happening.

Ikr? As an American, the most the Ottomans on in the history books I was raised on is just... show up every once in a while.

@@benthomason3307 I dont think thats too odd. I personally think History is one of the only subjects that varies heavily depending on where you live. I mean being a European myself, i didnt learn much about the American History except for the civil war, contribution to WW1 and 2 and the cold war. However being European, more specifically Balkan, the Ottoman Empire had a huge impact on how these curent countries operate, their borders etc. So its only logical that they have a much bigger presence in the history books.

@@MUSTAFK That makes sense.

As a hungarian I am very well aware of our side of the story. Mohács is one of, if not the biggest loss of our 1000 years of history. However, after seeing the TV show Suleiman I became interested on their side of history as well (surprisingly historically accurate for a soap opera). Their structure of leadership was probably the best to exist

Until Lepanto the Europeans thinked about the Ottomans they are invincible.

Yeah, it might have been nice to talk about how the Turks got to that part of the world - and the Ottoman's predecessors, the Seljuks.

Actually no, the crescent moon is connected to islam as well. Because the islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, its based on the shape of the moon. The holy month of Ramadan is the 9th month of the lunar calendar but muslims cannot start their fast until they can clearly see the crescent moon.

It was used by both turkics and arabs but turkics used it first.

@@haitamc5611 Connected ≠ sign of Islam. Get it?

It was not even a Turkic symbol. It was the symbol of the city of Constantinople. Mehmet II took it over after taking the city. The double-headed eagle, on the other hand, was a Turkic symbol, brought in Europe by the Sultanate of Rum. Byzantium took it as their own symbol, followed by other orthodox nations like Serbia and Russia.

Yiikkeess!

Yep. That basically sums up the reasoning for everything the Venetian republic ever did. Why divert the fourth crusade towards Constantinople? Because money. Why repeatedly defy the papacy? Because money.

Robin Shields it is a very brief and simplified history anyway.

If he has to Talk about every rebellion and pullback this video would be tenfold

@@alejandroojeda1572 True, though to be fair understanding that rebellions and succession crises plagued early Ottoman history is also better than just assuming they were this monolithic force which conquered all the 'smaller and weaker' Balkan lords. There's nothing wrong with complexity in history, if anything it's preferable.

@@robinshields6760 i actually agree. I don't have much of a history education and i used to think of the ottomans as this "monolothic unstoppable force". Then i researched a bit and discovered the constant struggle, the succesion crisis, the balkan resistance. He could have added some more info on that respect and i think he should have. With my last comment What i was trying to say IS that these videos are not meant for a Deep look, they're just a very quick summary. He could explain this topics on more detail but he doesn't because his videos are always concise and Direct. He gives a simplified version, but one that's easy to understand, interesting and increadibly neutral, and i'm really gratefull for that. In fact i think he shines more when the topic is obscure and simple, because he's basically the only one Who makes videos about "why does Belarus exist?" Or "why was sweeden against the Vietnam war?". We'll always have WW2 videos, his strength comes from his format and the topics It allows. By the way, If you want videos detailing the military history of the ottomans may i suggest kings and generals, it's a wonderfull Channel and goes Deep into the militar reforms, the wars and battles of the empire, with an amazing presentation and a wonderfull narration.

Faxxx Ottoman is C H A D

Western style slavery was much much more brutal than ottoman devsirme. In fact some of the most important grand viziers are devsirme. Devrirmes easily find them self's important positions in bureaucrat and soldier classes. Aside all of this look at the western slavery. It is brutal.

@Nathan Morrow well devshirme people were just mandatory state officers. Not someone's property to be sold like a common good. They also had right to own property they were getting fairly good wages and when they retired they were free citizens. They were well respected in the society and had political power to take what they wanted most of the times. It is nowhere near brutal as western slave trade on black people.

@@ahmetnumanduman8653 Well those boys and family had there life ripe appart anyway. Ottoman were just better to get potential of there slave because, like greek or roman if I could, they treated the slave as a human, not a soulless thing. (Western slavery (wasn't only european, some african kingdom/tribs and arab enjoy the deal a lot)) Ottoman weren't "racist", well a bit like everybody at those times, but were able to acknoledge the fact that smart people from other ethnie could be used in good way for their empire. It's always the same for all government, how to use properly their population to grow their (or your) wealth.

The Mamluks in Egypt were slaves and the people recognised them as such and were Ok with. But for some reason refused to marry with them because they were "slaves" and the Imams recognized them as state property even though they were the head of state. That's they have to be freed first to be able to marry. It is probably weird for you but it makes sense for us Muslims.

There will probably be another two on the Ottomans. 'The Stagnation (1571-1820)' and then the 'Decline of the Ottomans and the birth of Turkey (1820-1970)'.

Looking forward to them!

No. The stagnation beginned with the death of Sokullu Mehmed Pasha.

John McCrindle I play aoc2 and I always see Netherlands taking Denmark or Germany taking Brazil some of that sh*t

lol actually they were never harsh on people like they have been telling in history channels They have used a very popular policy thats called istimalet policy. You can search the meaning later but they have always respected other religions and races. They didnt forced people to be muslim or whatever.

Well, that’s not entirely true. Murat retired on his own will because he was tired and wanted to spend his days doing more spiritual stuff. When Mehmed II became the sultan he was only 13-14 and Murat has been a pain in the ass of the christian world so they (can’t recall the nations sorry) started preparing for war. Mehmed knew he couldn’t prevail this war due to his age so he wrote a letter to his father, which included the words: “If you are the sultan, come here and take the command of the armies. If I am the sultan, I am ordering you to take the command of the armies.” After this letter Murat took the reign again won these battles. And about the vizier he was basically pulling favors for his and his familie’s good. Mehmed realized this way before he re-sat the throne in the age of 19. However didn’t do anything about it because all his focus was on taking the Constantinople and didn’t want conflict and chaos in the chambers. After he took the city (with quite extraordinary ways) he had him executed for corruption. And took precautions for these sort of things never to happen again. Fatih (which is what we call Mehmed II meaning the conquerer) was one of the three smartest and the most important leaders of the Turk history with Atatürk and Mete. Spoke literally 7 languages in that time

Hindsight is beautiful.

Actually it was because Constantine XI wanted to releaae him unless Mehmed II paid up

Yea he didnt want him released. He would be a rival to the throne. He paid for Constantine to keep him

Yeah!

Soooooo cute/funny!

‘a chance’, you meant?
