A ruler from Constantinople, that controlled the eastern part of the Mediteranian Sea, wants to conquer Western Europe, then didn't manage to do it because he had to fight the Persian's threats from the east, then went back to conquer the west again, and had a best friend that almost likely tried to seize power from the ruler......Guys, he is basically just a Turkic Islamic Emperor Justinian.
Yes the difference is Sulieman was more globally important like he conquered more lands and he himself was involved in campaigns. Sulieman conquered,infrastructure/military/economy/navy was flourishing etc. Sulieman was like Justinian but better.
Exactly Even during his time, Barbarossa conquered North Africa for the Ottomans, like Belisarius, which unfortunately was not mentioned in this video.
Hi, Hungarian here, really liked the video. One correction: Budapest not existed as one city until 1873, Buda and Pest was separate cities. Keep up the good work though!
You're right. We Turks call the Buda part as ''Budin'' and also after Zapolja died with an infant heir the Hungary was officially annexed except for Erdel(Transylvania) in case of possible Habsburg attacks afterwards.
@@AbuzerKadayif A Hungarian historian here. All of Hungary wasn't annexed, only the "middle part" of it (it would be later called as "Conquered parts"). Half of Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmacia and a great chunk of West Hungary and most of Upper Hungary (today's Slovakia) remained in the "Hungarian Kingdom" under the Habsburg dynasty
@@csoki1998 yes I was referring to non-Habsburg territory as Kingdom of Hungary in the scope of Ottomans. Geographically speaking, all the territory of Hungary wasn't controlled by a single ruler throughout the history.
He wasn't such a big deal. He was simply the last in the row of 10 successful rulers. His father was a much bigger soldier and expanded the empire much more.

Actually empire became super power in 1400's, already before the suleiman emperor, empire wasnt losing war for so long time. Suleiman just made it magnificent like hisself
The Mughal Emperor Humayun in a letter to Sultan Suleiman stressed that Sultan Suleiman was Caliph of not just the Ottoman domains but that of Hind as well. Humayun was reported to have written the following: "Truly, Sultan Suleiman is the only Emperor of the world".
Pargalı İbrahim Pasha is not mentioned at all in the video. He is Suleiman's closest friend and someone who suddenly became grand vizier without having anything to do with being a vizier. Ibrahim Pasha was the commander of the Battle of Mohács and played a major role in winning the war in a short time. He reached such a level that he overshadowed even Sultan Suleiman. Thereupon, Sultan Suleiman had his best friend, Ibrahim Pasha, who could be called closer than a brother, strangled after a meal they had together in 1536. It would not be wrong to say that Solomon's conquests ended thereupon. Before the murder of Prince Mustafa, the murder of Pargalı İbrahim Pasha had already started to turn everything upside down.
Both killing are mistakes for the great sultan the one of his Grand Vizier a formidable tactician on the battlefield ( Ibrahim Pargali Pacha ) and the killing of his heir Mustafa which the Janissairies loved very much during the ottoman it was crazy the way father would kill a son or brother who killed a brother for the throne
@@krakatoa_8180wdym its crazy for an ottoman sultan to kill their relatives? 😅😅 Almost all sultans had their brothers strangled, it was literally written into law by Mehmed II.
The campaign also convinced Süleyman that large-scale operations of this kind could not secure more territory for him under the existing conditions of trans portation and warfare. He therefore agreed to a peace, mediated by Poland: Ferdi nand recognized the sultan as "father and suzerain." accepted the grand vezir as "brother" and equal in rank, and abandoned his claims to rule in Hungary other than those border areas that he had occupied since the original Ottoman conquest.

The Ottoman Empire was at it's Zenith while Suleiman The Magnificent ruled. I wonder how different history would've been had he not had his sone Mustafa killed?
Look at Selim Yavuz. He had the balls to take the throne by force! Thus, he proved to be a determined monarch to push borders towards Muslim lands. But Mustafa didn't have that courage to take the throne from his old fart father. Life puts everything at its best place. Obviously, Mustafa was a weak one since he failed to become a king!
Maybe Italy would have been conquer because he was keen on finishing what sultan Mehmet started and also Spain would have fallen has well he was the only son apart from sultan 4th son bayzeid could have finish what there father started bayzeid was war like and Mustafa was fierce like sulieman only those 2 could have keep the empire stronger but he kill them

Though they were banned from certain areas, like jews were not allowed to own or buy land within the palestine region because they would basically do 1948 (formerly it was the aqsa mosque region because back then the whole area was just the "sham"). but christians and muslims were basically equal except the tax. yes there were smaller details like the fact non muslims were never buried in muslim graveyards. Also to clarify, he did not conquest the west because it was threatening only, but because they were harrasing muslims elsewhere such as in al andalus..or what _was_ the andalus, or the fact russians (they were called by other names but basically the same people) were going conquest after conquest against muslim empires elsewhere.

In this period most rulers and nobles still fought on the battlefields themselves but from the 17th-18th century they really were just standing faraway with thelescopes and giving orders.

intro part of suleyman's letter to the france asking ottoman's help : I am, the sultan of sultans, the khan of khans, the shadow of Allah on the earth, i am who crowns the rulers of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and Rumelia, and Anatolia, and Azerbaijan, and Damascus, and Aleppo, and Egypt and Mecca.

We in the West are very fortunate that Suleiman's forces suffered many major defeats from Western forces including the Austrians, Portuguese and the Knights of Malta. Shortly after his death the Turkish navy was utterly annihilated at Lepanto by the forces of Venice, Genoa, the Knights of Malta, the Papacy and Spain. These heroic forces from Catholic Europe saved the West from becoming as repressive, violent, divided, unhappy and impoverished as the Islamic world is today. Suleiman and the Ottoman empire stood not for progress but for absolute regress.

Unfortunately, his successors would not follow up with his success making it seem all for nothing
Why people keep talk about selim in the comments.this video about Suleiman. His father doesn't conquer hungry,half of safavid, rhodes or expand all the way to yemen and indian ocean? There are a reason why European historian called him magnificent And Not his father 😂
I guess it’s because people think Sulieman was lucky as his father had built the empire massively but I agree with you Sulieman shouldn’t be shadowed by his father.
Because the Persian Empire was always known formally as the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire has always been known as the Ottoman Empire not Turkish Empire. That’s from where.

By that time the Ottoman dynasty wasn't Turkic rather it was heavily European due to intermarriage! The Ottomans are Muslim European emperors, initially Greeks!

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.

@@theodeleonI wouldn’t go that far. Just read a book about the Ottoman Empire and western civilization would attempt to downplay ottoman influence in Western European history. They are part of European history and culture regardless of others opinions of them.
@@theodeleon Influential maybe but stronger? The moment the Romans fought against organized Armies with centralized Goverment they struggled, like against the Greeks and Persians. The pyrrhic wars showed that. The Romans were a civilization surrounded by mostly independant tribes which sometimes confederated but thats it. The Ottomans fought major Empires and Kingdoms, there is no comparison.
No, because we muslims aren't divided like european countries
The netherlands wanst part of the hre at this point. It was under spanish habsburg rule
I am Iranian but I am inspired by Suleiman! Love to my Turkish Brothers
appreciate it brother, loves back from turkiye to iran.
that's crazy how many people have died over the course of history just because those in power wanna fight
they didn't fight just for the sake of it. they had the people's appraisal if they conquered foreign lands to settle
Still happening today
In this period most rulers and nobles still fought on the battlefields themselves but from the 17th-18th century they really were just standing faraway with thelescopes and giving orders. It was literally a game for them, rhey were very rarely killed and even if got captured they were ransomed, that is of course if they were fighting another european country and not some barbaric tribe on some colony.
It was The Magnificent Century!

There is a small mistake which is that algiers was an ottoman vassal
Idk why lots of people hate including us into the ottoman territories even though Algiers didnt become fully independent until 1671 ( yes they were still an ottoman vassal but they were technically independent since there was no ottoman intervention in making decisions )
The ruling class were Turks so you were still subservient to the Ottomans thus you were never really independent until 1962 when you gained independence from France.

The Greatest sultan in the history of ottoman empire sultan Suleiman the magnificent
The Turks were considered as the best warriors due to their horsemanship and skill in archery.
Kaushik Roy., n.d. Military Transition in Early Modern Asia, 1400-1750: Cavalry, Guns, Government and Ships (Bloomsbury Studies in Military History). p.24.
While there is much more than this to the Turks, it is true that Turks rank among history’s great empire-builders and rulers. Under the Ottomans they conquered vast territories in the Balkans and the Middle East and ruled for six hundred years.
Turkey Country Study Guide Volume 1 Strategic Information and Developments pp.30
The Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.
Napoleon in his own words from the French of Jules Bertaut p.44
If Matthias Corvinus would have been any successors it would have delayed expansion for at least 50 yrs.

@@ROMANS3-25KJV How are the states that promised you freedom? Russia provoked the Balkan people against the Ottomans, but now there is no one behind Russia except Serbia, who is the barbarian? Also, we gave everyone the right to live freely during the Ottoman period
@@okanerdogn0 I myself, with my own eyes, saw in Otranto Cathedral what Turks brought .
@@Nicods If the Turks are barbarian massacres, why are the people in the Balkans still Christians? We did not force anyone to become a Muslim or massacre them. The ones you call barbarians saved you. The Armenians we saved from the oppression of the Romans. The Jews we saved from the oppression of the Spanish are our enemies today
I like how a small Montenegro stands outside of its borders completely surrounded.
Suleiman the great leader and Sultan
Another great video keep up the great work
intro part of suleyman's letter to the france asking ottoman's help :
I am,
the sultan of sultans,
the khan of khans,
the shadow of Allah on the earth,
i am who crowns the rulers of the Mediterranean,
the Black Sea,
and Rumelia,
and Anatolia,
and Azerbaijan,
and Damascus,
and Aleppo,
and Egypt and Mecca.
I am Sultan Süleyman Khan,
the son of Sultan Bayezid Khan,
the sultan of Medina,
and Jerusalem,
and the whole Arab land,
and Yemen and many more countries.
and so you,
king of the province of France,
are sending a letter with your messenger to my door,
where the rulers take shelter,
informing us that the enemy has invaded your country and that you are currently in prison,
and requesting our help for your salvation.
We in the West are very fortunate that Suleiman's forces suffered many major defeats from Western forces including the Austrians, Portuguese and the Knights of Malta.
Shortly after his death the Turkish navy was utterly annihilated at Lepanto by the forces of Venice, Genoa, the Knights of Malta, the Papacy and Spain. These heroic forces from Catholic Europe saved the West from becoming as repressive, violent, divided, unhappy and impoverished as the Islamic world is today. Suleiman and the Ottoman empire stood not for progress but for absolute regress.
I have lived in many countries and economically life in Turkey is better than almost all the Balkan countries.

His decisions regarding his family and close ones are a personal issue and has no bearing on his administrative capabilities. He was an ambitious ruler , A strong authoritarian who further strengthened ottoman dominance in the balkans and had his great rivals venice and the habsburgs on the backfoot. His conquest of crucial Hungarian towns and border fortresses would see unquestioned ottoman rule over these volatile regions over the next 150 years . Unfortunately, his successors would not follow up with his success making it seem all for nothing

Why people keep talk about selim in the comments.this video about Suleiman. His father doesn't conquer hungry,half of safavid, rhodes or expand all the way to yemen and indian ocean?
There are a reason why European historian called him magnificent
And Not his father 😂
I guess it’s because people think Sulieman was lucky as his father had built the empire massively but I agree with you Sulieman shouldn’t be shadowed by his father.
You write Persian for the Safavids, but you do not write Turks for the Ottoman Empire. From where?
Because the Persian Empire was always known formally as the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire has always been known as the Ottoman Empire not Turkish Empire. That’s from where.
@@hmjega Safavids did not call themselves Persians. The Ottoman Empire was always referred to as Turkey
Safavid not a persia
Alhamdullillah ☝️
the Ottman never enter morocco morocco is there before Ottman start enter countries , so be clearl about what you say❤

He obviously used good humour and reasoned argument, since Islam is religion is a religion of peace and never used the sword to expand its territory.

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.

Selim I the grim is the one who left Suleiman this massive empire.
And suleiman managed to maintain and expand it
And Suleiman failed to materialize the acquired resources by his ancestors, which was the beginning of ottoman downfall
@Fun_Facts7212 not really, he is known as the law giver sure but made little to no effort in improving investments and reforms, he in his very long reign made the empire slow in its development and advancement. Thus in the long term it caused the empire to stop its cultural, administrative, scientific advancement thus opening the way for religious cults gaining power, the empire starting to decay in infastructure, education, commerce, tech and other areas for future sultans.
@Fun_Facts7212 the only sultan that completely revolutionised and actually made the ottomans into an empire was Mehmet II
@@sirspamalot3 yes, Mehmet did revolutionise the ottomans but the main reason people dont like Suleiman is because he executed his more competent and ambitious sons. If Suleiman had died 15 years earlier. Everyone would've loved him. He lived long enough to see himself become the villain. But you can't deny that he conquered Hungary, yemen, Mesopotamia/iraq, libya, Algeria, Rhodes island and Belgrade
Osmanlı Sultan Süleymandan sonra eskisi kadar etkin kalamadı.
Ottoman empire was way bigger than this map.
yes, not all vassals are included.
They said 100,000 Ottomans died at Rhodes and that the sultan said he would gladly sacrifice 100,000 more to win that tells you alot
Thats just a Western hogwash to show theirselves as heroes, they always try to show Ottomans over 100.000 men against European forces. While the reality wasn't like that, Ottomans fought against Crusades all the time which bringt whole Europe together.
it said that there was 25,000 deaths due to mostly disease that spread at that time but in ottoman sources it's way less then that.
Wtf what is the source for that?
Source trust me bro, in ottoman sources it's couple thousend and most if them it's due to disease. Lmao if it's 100000 then the ottoman empire would have fall
