- The sick man of Europe - History of the Ottoman Empire (1800 - 1900)
By 1900, the Ottoman Empire was known as 'the sick man of Europe' due to their falling under other powers and due to their internal problems as well. The Ottomans lost region by region, and they couldn't prevent it. After centuries of hegemony over European, Asian, and African lands, the Sultanate was rapidly heading for collapse.

Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire spend their entire lives fighting each other
yet they died fighting side by side, talk about the perfect love story 🥰.
yeah Austria ... mainly using Croatian soldiers to fight there war.
Austria also used Croatians in war with Sweden, which is disgusting.
That's very sad🥺❤️
it was Middle Ages, crazy times ... Croatia was first line of defense against Muslim invasion. Other European countries sent financial support once in a while, but in really it was strong fighting spirit of Croatians that helped in surviving the onslaught.

Correction, Mahmud II is not Selim III's brother he is actually Mustafa IV's little brother. Selim III was their elder cousin. Selim III was barren, that's why he treat his cousins nicely and paid attention for their education for future of empire. His revolutionist movements were so important and gave breath to empire but his military movements were not popular amongst traditionalist jannisaries. During Russia war, jannisaries started uprising, he didn't want a civil war and gave the throne to his cousin. It didn't go well, jannisaries killed many new military corp members and it badly effected continuing war. One of Selim III's officer Alemdar Pasha gathered an army from surviving new military corp members and did a counter revolt. He supressed jannisaries and reached royal palace. Selim III was living in semi-imprison in palace and educating his younger cousin Mahmud II. Once Selim III loyalists reached palas ungreatful Mustafa IV gave order to execution of his older cousin Selim III and his younger brother Mahmud II. They killed Selim III but palace servents saved Mahmud II. Alemdar Pasha deposed Mustafa IV and crowned Mahmud II. Later jannisaries killed Alemdar Pasha and tried make Mustafa IV sultan again but this time Mahmud II executed his big brother. Later he destroyed Janniseries. It was a necessary action but a deep blow to Ottoman army, in the end even Kavalalı became more powerful than Ottoman army. If Selim III's revolutionist movements accepted everything could be different. Selim III's mind was ahead of the its time, he was the last hope of empire. His tragic murder was sealed Ottoman's fate.
I completely agree with what you have stated. Selim 3 was the second "Genç Osman" in my opinion. Because he knew what to do. He tried to implement some cruical reforms, he failed and paid it with his life at the end. Generally Selim 3 's efforts are overlooked because Mahmut the 2. is a bigger reformist. However it was Selim to educate and raise Mahmut. Nizam ı cedid was a great idea. It defeated Napoleon and the British in Egypt. It is so sad how Selim failed despite his great efforts and died at the end.
I have a question is Abdul majeed 2 was Sultan or not? (Abdul majeed 2 not Abdul majeed 1)
@@animationzone2351 no, he was the last caliph. Sultanate abolished after turkish independence war. He was chosen as caliph by parliament but one year later because of some old order supporters, caliphate abolished as well.
Yes
I was confused, in some videos that I saw the makers said him as (Sultan) Abdul majeed 2 and in some videos they said Caliph Abdul majeed 2. But now I know that he was Caliph not sultan

One tiny mistake in the video. For a few years, the capital of greece was nafplio in morea and not athens :-)
But just for a minute but still you're right!
@Achaean It should be mentioned that Greeks used to be given privileged treatment from the Ottomans with many of their priests sent all throughout the Balkans to preach. That's why their Slavic and Romanian Orthodox counterparts were mistrustful of Greeks.
It was Nafplion because it had relatively few non-Greeks,unlike Athens.

Correction: Napoleon didn't style himself as the liberator of Egypt from the Ottoman Empire. In fact, he did everything to get Ottoman approval for his Egyptian Campaign, which he didnt get. And initially he was spreading the rumor that he had the sultans backing. He styled himself as the liberator of Egypt from Mameluke ill governance and tried to show great respect to the Sultan.

Thank you for the video! I must confess that I lacked the big and the full picture of the period.

@@parcalosca which is?
One of the reasons for the weakening of the Ottoman Empire is the lack of allies in Europe. While states such as Austria and Russia could find allies in their wars with the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire was alone outside the Crimean War. States such as the Holy Germanic Austria, Russia, Poland, and Venice joined forces against the Ottoman Empire.
The question is why couldn’t they find allies especially exploiting the catholic Protestant rift
the asnwer is: due to religion

Nice video overall, but you should have included the unification of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia in 1885
The Wallachian uprising was actually started by Greek rebels. The general plan was that the Greeks would defeat the Ottomans in the south, the mixed army would defeat the enemy in the north. After this, the armies would unite in Macedonia and march to Constantinople and then Asia. Yes, that was the ACTUAL plan!!! Could you imagine if it actually worked?
I might make a few mistakes and correct me if I am wrong, Tudor Vladimirescu made a pact with Alexander Ipsilanti to revolt together and aid the romanian army, but due too russian influence, Ipsilanti didin't sent any support, thus romanians revolution was defeated by the turks.

The Ottomans and the Safavids did not form a single alliance throughout their history to confront a common enemy like Russia, for example .. (If Turkey and Iran were united against Russia in the Caucasus, the Russians would have been permanently expelled to their original borders outside the Caucasus region) said one of the Western historians
The enmity between the Ottomans and the Safavids greatly harmed both parties, I do not know what this hostility and stupidity made them not ally with each other even though they are Turks ... the Romans and Persians allied against Muslims despite the difference in ethnicity and religion, as well as the Christians despite their different sects, they allied themselves against Muslims
After a bloody history during selim I time they never wanted to get engaged on anything again although iran is ruled by ethic turks but shia - anyway long history.

This is supposed to end at 1900 yet it does not show the unification between the principlality of Bulgaria and eastern Rumelia of 1885 which triggered the serbo-bulgarian war, and it shows some Greek and Serb revolts but it does not show the Bulgarian revolt of 1876 which triggered the ruso-turkish war of 1877-1878.

@@zenitelab2482 Well the name of the city from Constantinople to Instanbul was officially changed, under a law which was enacted by the Turkish government, on 28 March 1930. So the Convention of Constantinople to which i am refering to is historically correct (i hold a B.A in History), since the Convention was signed in 1881 before 1930 (even the Treaty of Constantinople in 1913 is known in History as such). For instance the Instanbul Convention of 2011 which guaranteed human rights against domestic violence and violence against women is known as the Convention of Instanbul because it was obviously signed after 1930.

Many people who evaluate the Ottoman Empire in 1700-1900 missing a very important detail.
This big mistake is that the Ottoman-Russian wars are viewed only as a 1v1 war.
This is completely wrong.
Russia had a tremendous influence over orthodoxes within the Ottoman borders. The Russian army, when the war started, Occupying Ottoman vassal romanian principalities without any resistance and gain a solid position in the north of the Danube River.
While all this was happening, the Ottoman army had to divide its troops to fight the Bulgarian and Serbian rebels while trying to reach the front. Moreover, although Russia has a great manpower advantage.
This only applies to the 1877-1878 battle.
Although the actors changed, Russia could always find allies against the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was able to find these allies only once.

There is a word of an historian. The Ottomans did not declined, Europe went too fast forward.
@Вхламинго Some govermental systems didnt functioned like the early times but the main Ottoman story is they didnt developed fast like Europeans. They stuck at 17-18th century. So thats why Ottomans collapsed in a very short summary.
@Вхламинго Thats what i am talking about. They didnt catch up level of the west, so they couldn't compete with them and lost so many wars because of this.
they were the first to use gunpowder weapons giving them a huge advantage against European powers however when they modernized the ottoman empire was late to do that and thus were no longer as strong as the once were
Love your documentaries so much. Keep it up guys

Nice video! You’re such an inspiration!
I have a strange fascination with the byzantines, so this is cathartic in some ways.
Don’t hate the Ottomans they just killed a declining Empire of Nicaea.
Hate the Crusaders who destroyed the Roman Empire and ruined Constantinople.
Byzantium died in 1204. Ottomans made a pretty good empire too. Blame Venice. Not the ottomans
As much as the palaiologos have their issues, the Byzantine restoration after the Latin Empire is every bit as much a continuation of the previous byzantine empire as well as establishing a new Byzantine dynasty. The Palaiologos family were high Byzantine aristocracy before the Latin empire, with Michael VIII Palaiologos (who restored the Byzantine empire in 1261) being a descendant of the Doukas, Komnenos and Angelos Byzantine dynasties.
Like Michael’s great-grandfather was the previous Byzantine emperor Alexios Angelos, his grandfather Alexios Palaiologos was the heir-apparent. In an alternate history of no Latin empire, Michael Palaiologos would still have been emperor.
The fourth crusade deserves its flak, but it in no way “ended” the byzantines, that claim rests solely with the ottomans.
@@flamingmuffin666 bruh you saying the palaiogos family was competent? hell no. they ruled a dead empire. they lost land to the bulgars and crusaders. then the ottomans put the final nail on the coffin. like even if the ottomans didnt succeed byzantium would fall anyway to some other power. before 1204 they were strong. after that they just stopped being strong. also ottomans and byzantium had a treaty but the byzantines broke it. so they caused it them self. blame byzantium and the crusaders. not the ottomans
@@flamingmuffin666 The Angelos were the Dynasty on the Throne when the Empire ended. The Laskaris who had support from the last Emperor then ruled the Nicean Empire, to say the Palaiologos would have been Emperors otherwise is simply unfounded, false and ignores the families in power.
In the 60 years from the fall to the capture. The Culture, Government, Dynasty And ethnicities of the Byzantine People changed. The direct line of continuation from the Roman Empire had ended and the self identification as Hellenes begins to commonly appear.
Constantinople is never restored having only a fraction of its population, the Byzantine Senate was not restored, feudalization of the Pronoia would be near complete and the Empire restricted to Greek only lands with a fraction of the Byzantines pre 4th territory.
Furthermore Trebizond, Epirus and Bulgaria had legitimacy and claims to the Empire, you only recognize Nicaea cause they took Constantinople.
The Roman Empire of the Pre4th would never return.
Sultan Abdulhamid ii, a great ruler he was, against all odds extended the empires life for another 30 years... until the revolution and everything went to waste.
@Kokoro Shimamura really you mean reducing the empires debt by 90%??? The ottomans had 250billion liras of debt but when he was overthrown it was almost finished...
At the battle of navarino , you forget to mention that the sultan also called the governor of Algéria for help, because after losing the battle france took the opportunity to occupy algeria, because Algeria Lost all it's fleet during that battle, and couldn't defend itself

the ottomans in greece be like: i won, but at what cost
Basically it was the Egyptian regular - almost in European standards troops that almost ended the greek revolution but they couldn't keep their gains with most of their fleet destroyed although stubbornly enough some garrisons was refusing to handle their forts to the new greek government and they had to be forced out, creating an diplomatic crisis between Britain and France - since French troops were involved in those operations - the French was supposed to be there as " advisors" for the greek regular army and peacekeepers in the area that is roughly now days central Greece and by no way to move in Peloponnese ( Morea ) 😉
Greece paid a hefty price for its independence, Thousands died in order to take back some of what rightfully theirs to begin with. However even today as we speak Turkey is desperately trying to revive old empty aspirations of a new empire, by been a recalcitrant neighbour, to some countries around it.
Literally all countries would love to boost their influence as much as they can in anywhere they can. Some countries are capable of it and some aren't, it's as simple as that.
Many countries paid a hefty price to get independence from the British but the video isn't about them, even if it was about them I doubt you'd have a problem with that.

1815 was the Second Serbian uprising! Not mentioning the First Serbian Uprising of 1804 - 1813 that was way more spread with large liberated territories is a huge mistake, particularly since the Ottomans lost many troops in that battlefield and were forced to move out of the area. Also some interesting battles were fought on that front like Battle of Mišar, Battle of Ivankovac, Battle of Čegar Hill which are overlooked here...
No mention of the Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896) that left up to 300,000 Armenians dead, 50,000 orphaned, the destitution of 546,000, the destruction of 2,493 Armenian villages, the residents of 456 of which were forcibly converted to Islam (~150,000 people), and the desecration of 649 churches and monasteries, of which 328 were converted into mosques.
All you said was “Problems with Armenia and its neighbors began in the 1890s and only grew with time as the Ottoman Empire was pushed and more in the direction of urgent defense over its dwindling power and territory...”

Peter the Great had dreamt of winning Constantinople back for Christianity and Tsar Alexander I called the city " The key to the door of my house " In 1853 Nicholas I made the remark to the British ambassador in St Petersburg that echoed through the next century " We have a sick man on our hands, a man gravely sick " he said referring to Turkey, and wanted European powers to divide the Ottoman empire by mutual agreement and turn Constantinople into a free city. Russian insults provoked students of Turkeys madrassas(Taliban of their time) to come on to the streets, and Abdulmejid obtained a Fatwa to declare war on Russia on 4 October 1853. Britain and France determined to keep Russia out of what would become their prize, joined Turkey in what is famous as the Crimean war. By 1856 the alliance had defeated Russia and Abdulmecid(Caliph of Muslim world) presented himself with a new palace, deserting Topkapi.
There was however a price to a seat on the same table as England and France. In 1856, for the first time since 1453, church bells were permitted to ring, by the authority of an imperial decree, in Constantinople. Many Muslims declared it a day of mourning.
Taliban of their time? What?
The Ottomans were late to understand the new trends of nationalism . For instance when the Greeks revolted 200 hundred years ago, the ottoman thought of this as a Russian plan to cause an insurrection of the Rum(Roman) community of the Empire. Essentially the spiritual subjects of the Patriarch of Constantinople. That’s why he was hanged after its outbreak.
It was russian plan,lol

A nicely informative video. I liked it.
The nineteenth was a century of loss for Muslims. As early as in 1808 the Serbs were encouraged to revolt, and by 1830 a Serbia state had been established. In 1821 it was the turn of Greece, encouraged by the music of Byron's poetry, to demand freedom from the Ottomans. Greece became independent in 1833. In the Caucasus, Russia moved into Turkish penumbra. In 1839 Britain occupied Aden to consolidate her control over the sea routes to the jewel in her crown. By 1877 Bulgaria had been given autonomy, Crete won similar terms in 1898(and joined Greece on 1913). The weakness of Constantinople(Istanbul) had gone to the heart. It was in huge external debt and it revenues were being scanned by lenders.
In a short:Colonial empires brought the end of the Ottomans.

Hi, good video. In 1885 Bulgaria expanded as it unified with Eastern Rumelia. Keep up with the good work!
Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job
In my opinion, what is more interesting is that the reasons of Ottoman stagnation and decline are largely based on the problems of the time it was established:
1. When the Ottoman Empire was founded, the Islamic world was just entering the dark age in scientific terms. Because the Mongols burned the Baghdad library and killed the Muslim scientists. When the books disappeared, scientific knowledge disappeared after a single generation. This resulted in only religious education in madrasahs instead of teaching science and religion together. Fearing science, the clergy formed.
2. During this period, Europeans in Andalusia translated Islamic works into their own languages. Thus, before science disappeared, it began to spread throughout Europe during the Renaissance. Thus, Europe scientifically began to exit from the dark age. Soon Spanish Kingdoms destroyed Andalusia. Thus, schools that teach science in the Islamic world could never develop again until modern times(Selim III).
3. Geographical discoveries and colonization enriched Europe economically. The change of trade routes weakened the Ottoman Empire economically.
These led to a decline in military technology and internal economic revolts. Thus, the Ottoman Empire began to lose wars. In the early period, only Turks had rebelled against the Ottoman government. (Jalalli rebellions)
The nationalism that emerged with the French Revolution and the arming and provocation of the Christians in the Ottoman by foreign countries such as Russia caused the first great Christian revolts in the Ottoman Empire. Because the Ottoman was tolerant of Christians, there had been no major Christian revolts before. The difficulty of the Ottoman Sultan in suppressing the rebellions and the loss of land prepared the ground for the Young Turk uprising. The Sultan was overthrown by a coup. However, partial democracy and the Young Turk government were not enough to suppress the uprisings either. The Ottoman empire fell apart.
That's bullshit lol. Scientific knowledge came from classical greek and roman ideas, not islam, that's why it's called renaissance because it's the rebirth of classical ideas. This all happened because Greek scholars escaped byzantine to Italy after it fell.

"The famous 19th century Russian thinker Nikolai Danilevski once divided human societies into “civilization creators” and “civilization destroyers”. He listed the ten greatest unique civilizations in chronological order: Egyptian, Chinese, Ancient Semitic (Assyrian, Babylon, Phonoecia, Chaldea), Indian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, neo-Semitic (Arab), and Germano-Roman (European) and had the following to say about them: “[B]eside these positive... civilizations there have also periodically appeared in the , ages of humanity certain transitory actors like the Huns, Mongols, and Turks, whose candles have suddenly flared up and gone out, passing quickly into history. After completing their task of destruction, of assisting in the deaths of moribund civilizations and scattering their remains, they return to their previous insignificance and disappear. We may call them the negative actors of history.” Not only among the intellectuals, but throughout the West there has been no end of things said about the cultural vandalism of the Turks. “In the Balkan Peninsula, with his every step, the Turk has trampled underfoot the products of thousands of years of culture.”"

First Serbian uprising happened in 1804, and has liberated central Serbia for a few years. The second Serbian uprising in 1815, mentioned here, was a follow-up to it. Get something correct when mentioning Serb historical involvement.
We're not some Bulgaria or Slovenia, the leader of the first Serbian uprising George Petrovich Karageorge was the founder of the royal dynasty of Karageorgievich, which was to liberate the most of the South Slavs, and rule Yugoslavia subsequently. The neighboring monarchies to principality/ kingdom of Serbia/ Yugoslavia had foreign monarchs (German houses).
I do not enjoy writing these complaints, but I enjoy historical disrespect of Serbs even less.
