This is so crazy, but my family my ancestors hailed from Amasya and Bartın. It’s crazy to know that this was part of the history mainly because I stayed there for months during the summer of 95, which was shortly before I moved to the United States with my parents what took us back was unfortunately a death in the family it was very hard for me to reallyemotionally comprehend what was going on because I was really young and I didn’t know the person that had passed away but it was amazing being able to explore the places such a small town so beautiful it feels like it barely changes every hundred years and it’s amazing to know that this was part of the history of the town
"You know, Isa. I know that after your father died, you have walked from court to court, and from humilliating defeat into humilliating defeat. You have lost all the armies you have commanded. But... what the hell. I kind of like you. Have another army. Just don't break it like the other ones!"
This is the least mentioned Ottoman history part in Turkish schools. It's only "after 1402 there was 11 years of civil war and Mehmet çelebi gained power". Details of the civil war and remaining years of his reign is unknown for most of the Turks. I really appreciate the effort and your work. Thanks for the video!
@@truja97 history in schools are clearly biased. We beat the whole Europe history is more popular, hence, struggles of the empire don't mentioned as much. Most of the defeats are mentioned as "because Austrians and Russians are allied and stuff then we lost, otherwise we were cool" . Education only accepts real Ottoman decline in 19th century since there is no decisive wins remaining :) I needed to read foreign sources to understand real position of the empire. In my knowledge, until the end of high-school, I believed that ottomans did not lose even any minor skirmish against the Europeans until 17th century. (obviously wrong in all sides)
I've been looking forward to another addition of the rise of the ottoman series for months! I honestly didn't know about this civil war. Glad it's getting mentioned though.
This is a real unicorn of a Kings and Generals video: it's about the Ottoman Civil War AND contains the phrase "died of natural causes." I never thought I'd see the day!

Bro gazi evrenos bey was a diff level veteran, he saw the empire from literally growing to disintegrating and then uniting again, he lived for 129 years ( 1288 - 1417 ). Truly deserved his title.

@@dominicguye8058 Because your life, City, fate of thousand year realm etc. is not influenced by those events as you are watching video from home/work. Manuel had no such luxury.
Your videos on early Ottoman history are tremendously appreciated. In particular, for a Bulgarian native of Thrace. A historic era that is frequently disregarded.
Note: After Ertuğrul's death, Osman's younger uncle, Haji Bektash Veli, became Bey, according to stories found in the book Vilayetname. Around that period, Osman and a few other fighters began planning raids on the Byzantine territories that bordered Söğüt, including Yarhisar, Bilecik, İnegöl, and İznik. Provoked as a result, the Byzantine Tekfur (governor) of Bursa complained about these ongoing attacks and sent envoys to the Seljuk Sultan Alâeddin Kayqubad III.
Refering to the fratricide family tree, Murad's elder brother was Suleyman. In sources like von Hammer, Suleyman was the favorite one for the day to ascend to the throne would come. However, he was killed in a hunting accident and left Murad to fight his little brother Halil. Being the elder one left might be a legitimacy winner for Europe in that age, it didn't work like that in the east, though. Fratricide as a practice entered the law during the reign of Mehmed II, being the grandson of the first. A couple of generations later, might-be-heirs grew up in the palace in Constatinople. Many of them never left the quarters or at least alive, anyhow. Happy to contribute, keep it coming!
Hunting 'accidents' were very popular among medieval rulers. I still don't get how some Bulgarian tsars dared to go hunting with some brother or cousin who is interested in 'inheriting his job'. It was like this for tsar Gavrail Radomir (1014-1015) and the other one was tsar Mihail II Asen (1246-1256).
Everyone knows about Mehmet the second, conqueror, but not that many about Mehmet first the person who recreated ottoman empire through difficult times
Would be phantastic if you could make a video about Phromo Kesaro and the Turk Shahis. Or the Turkic army corps of the Abbasid dynasty is a very underrated piece of history, too. A detailed listing of the intrigues during that time would be a PIECE OF ART.
Bayezid II after Mehmed the Conqueror was a backwards ruler to be fair, especially compared to his enlightened father. But apart from him, starting from Osman and ending with Suleiman, almost all rulers were competent.
@@Octavian999 Murad IV and Mahmud II can be added. Especially Mahmud II abolished the janissary corps, which was the scourge of the Ottoman Empire, made a radical change in the military system of the Ottoman Empire and paved the way for the establishment of a modern army. These reforms made during the reign of Mahmud II laid the foundations of the Tanzimat period. Many innovations have been made in education, clothing, management and social structure. Apart from the state administration and the army, modernization efforts have been made in social and cultural areas, western-style schools have been opened, the postal organization has been established and there have been changes in clothing.
@@KhanTonyukuk Definitely. I didn't mean to say all emperors after Suleiman were bad, there were definitely competent ones. Selim III could also be added to that list as well, on top of the ones you mentioned. Mahmuh II is probably my favourite sultan of them all to be honest.
I have been waiting for the follow-up video of the defeat of Sultan Bayazid I from Timur The Lame for a long time and finally it has appeared, waiting for the continuation
I will write my previous comment again here. It's interesting to observe that many commentators often seek to downplay the achievements, conquests, and innovations of the Ottomans. Yet, let's acknowledge that we are discussing an empire that engaged in wars, primarily driven by economic and political motives rather than religious ones. It successfully adapted to the demands of its time, establishing a robust framework for administration, trade, and the economy. The Ottoman Empire created a flourishing civilization with the influence of other rich civilizations where diverse nations coexisted harmoniously; although, one might observe a different scenario in its former geography marked by various problems nowadays. As someone proud of my Turkish heritage, I take immense pride in my ancestors who, despite their imperfections, played a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining the Ottoman Empire for an impressive six centuries. Thank you, K&G, we love you!
One of the overlooked great Ottoman rulers, unlike the more popular Ottomans Mehmed I didn't even inherit the throne let alone taking over a stable state as Suleiman I did. He's basically an Ottoman equivalent of Atatürk
What about Kavalalı, he nearly captured the throne after defeat the ottoman army 3 times. Like in this turmoil, ottoman sultan stop them by the help of external powers
The foundations of the Ottoman state were already so strong by early 1400s that Bayazid's defeat at Ankara held them back only for 10 years before state got reunited.
@@KingsandGeneralsplease cover more videos on india like mughal conquests, mughal relationship with Ottomans, British conquest of india and maratha conquests
I think that it's a miracle that Ottomans managed to reunite and not lose even more lands. Had Timurids managed to retain their influence in Anatolia or Hungary capitalized and chip away lands in the balkans, history would have gone through a different route.
Manuel,Stefan and Mircea should have all "supported" Musa. Lead their armies against the Ottoman ruler who seemed stronger while taking the opportunity to regain some of their lost land from Suleyman. Then when Mehmet comes to the picture in the Balkans,they could side with him or Musa depending on who would let them keep the land they gained. The decisive battles of the Ottoman civil war were not landslides,so even if the Serbian Wallachian and Byzantine armies were small,together they would be enough to decide the outcome
Excellent video Against all odds, the Ottoman Empire reformed. Suleman’s concessions came to nothing. Mehmed had no compunction against murdering his brothers. Imagine being a Ottoman Emperor. Murdering your own family 😮
Thats why the fracticide rule plays a key role in these territories. Before we comment on historical events we should consider the culture, the religion, the territory and most important the time (era) to understand the motive. Otherwise it is easy to criticize the historical events such fractricide or dewshirme system, that they were tyranic, despotic actions.
From the point of view of the 21th century of course such things are strange to us, killing a brother? Wtf. But as you can see also from the video, if the rulers dont kill their brothers, the folk, the people will slaughter their brothers in civil wars...
@@segwhkamaza6447 they used to kill their brothers old or young ambitious or not. It didn’t even matter what their opinions was only paranoia of power mattered. As for stability arguably the decline of the ottomans was because of one incident of fratricide The competent son of suleiman the magnificent was unlucky and fell prey whereas the useless one became sultan after him
Bro, you're Polish yourself, that is why the history of your own country may seem dull to you. For me, as a Turk, the entire Polish history is pretty damn interesting. The struggle against the Teutonic Order, the formation of Rzeczpospolita, many wars with Russians, Swedes, Ottomans and finally the nationalist uprisings of 19th century are my favorite episodes.
@muratevren2857 bunu kendi tarihine düşman olan biri olarak mı söylüyorsun yoksa sadece Avrupa nin tarihini merak ettiğin için mı? Yada batı hayranlığı mı?. Doğunun ve Güneyin sultanları ve padişahları bütün dünyanın ilgisini çeker. Batı da benim ilgimi çeken pek bisey yok gibi bisey.
I'm not sure if I missed it... But what happened to Timur after he sees the Ottoman reawakening? And why didn't he support a side during the civil war.
@@ksagitarius There was a succession crisis after Timur died which ran from 1405 through 1411, after which Timur's son Shah Rukh basically withdrew Timurid influence to the Euphrates. Anatolia is after all quite a long way from Samarkand and Herat. (Although you'll often hear that the Timurid Empire collapsed after Timur, Shah Rukh held everything between the Euphrates and India firmly until his long reign ended in 1447, and *that* is when the Timurids started to crumble).
@@ksagitarius it was nearly impossible for muslim rulers to die without an heir, since they had both multiple wives and concubines. They suffered from many successors rather than no successors.
It is amazing none of the European lands of ottomans revolt after battle of Ankara. Only anatolian Türkmen beys revolted. This shows Ottoman empire's foundation in Europe is strong. But now we have little of it
can you please do one on the goryeo-khitan war and on the famous general, Kang Gam Chan who’s on par with Yi Soon Shin as one of Korea’s generational one of a kind generals
Notice how quickly Musa lost the support of the standing army and the government in the balkans in the telling of K&G for no reason outlined? That's because he was much more of an absolutist than the other princes and he practiced an earlier form of socialism which threatened the land gains of the Ottoman pashas and the like. So they abandoned him to keep their fortunes gained under the previous rulers.

There was no way the Timurids would be able to retain their influence in Anatolia as the empire is almost depend on Timur.
Imagine if the Nicopolis Crusade had happened *after* Ankara and not before.
the exact opposite would happen if Bayezid had managed to defeat Timur. History can't be written with "if"
Manuel,Stefan and Mircea should have all "supported" Musa. Lead their armies against the Ottoman ruler who seemed stronger while taking the opportunity to regain some of their lost land from Suleyman.
Then when Mehmet comes to the picture in the Balkans,they could side with him or Musa depending on who would let them keep the land they gained.
The decisive battles of the Ottoman civil war were not landslides,so even if the Serbian Wallachian and Byzantine armies were small,together they would be enough to decide the outcome
Men, Sultan Musa was strong. He defeated the Serbs, advanced to the Vlachs, and took his son Vlad

The struggle against the Teutonic Order, the formation of Rzeczpospolita, many wars with Russians, Swedes, Ottomans and finally the nationalist uprisings of 19th century are my favorite episodes.
@muratevren2857 bunu kendi tarihine düşman olan biri olarak mı söylüyorsun yoksa sadece Avrupa nin tarihini merak ettiğin için mı? Yada batı hayranlığı mı?. Doğunun ve Güneyin sultanları ve padişahları bütün dünyanın ilgisini çeker. Batı da benim ilgimi çeken pek bisey yok gibi bisey.
thnks for video
Still waiting for the next ep
Taimour is very underatted as his conquests were vast.
No
Too bad Greeks, even your rebellion against the Ottomans was not big like the Turks uprising
Bro what took u so long we need more #OTTOMAN videos ❤
I'm not sure if I missed it... But what happened to Timur after he sees the Ottoman reawakening? And why didn't he support a side during the civil war.
Timur died in 1405
@@KingsandGenerals No heir?
@@ksagitarius yep, with their problems with civil wars in Iran and Central Asia
@@ksagitarius There was a succession crisis after Timur died which ran from 1405 through 1411, after which Timur's son Shah Rukh basically withdrew Timurid influence to the Euphrates. Anatolia is after all quite a long way from Samarkand and Herat. (Although you'll often hear that the Timurid Empire collapsed after Timur, Shah Rukh held everything between the Euphrates and India firmly until his long reign ended in 1447, and *that* is when the Timurids started to crumble).
@@ksagitarius it was nearly impossible for muslim rulers to die without an heir, since they had both multiple wives and concubines. They suffered from many successors rather than no successors.
Only one Sultan that could rule them all.
It is amazing none of the European lands of ottomans revolt after battle of Ankara. Only anatolian Türkmen beys revolted. This shows Ottoman empire's foundation in Europe is strong. But now we have little of it
can you please do one on the goryeo-khitan war and on the famous general, Kang Gam Chan who’s on par with Yi Soon Shin as one of Korea’s generational one of a kind generals
excellent
I love your videos on Islamic history, keep it up, you should also make videos on Islamic India, Saltanate Delhi and Great Mughals.
Mehmed winning battles at 17
Suleyman = Solomon
Isa = Jesus
Musa = Moses
Mehmed = Muhammed
Mustafa = Another name of Muhammed
Please make more often videos for ottomans
Take a shot every time Isa loses a war
Day 3 Do you have any plans to join armchar tv
Notice how quickly Musa lost the support of the standing army and the government in the balkans in the telling of K&G for no reason outlined? That's because he was much more of an absolutist than the other princes and he practiced an earlier form of socialism which threatened the land gains of the Ottoman pashas and the like. So they abandoned him to keep their fortunes gained under the previous rulers.
Yes it is correct. But Fatih Sultan Mehmet changed evrythings. Fatih Sultan took all PowerPoint hisself
Finally more ottoman empire!
