      @@fgvfgv5976Ahh yes, the 'real' friends of the Christians of the Balkans, like the Hungarians who were so anti -orthodox the Christians fought WITH the Ottomans against them because the 'muslim invaders' were much more tolerant to other Christians (and the Hungarians also massacred whole cities of their 'friends'), and the french who would kill whoever they wanted because they were the shining paragon knights of Europe who considered everyone else as 'peasants' or the Habsburgs who often had to put guards in their borders to stop their own people from migrating to the 'invaders' lands because they had better tax conditions, religious tolerance, and land opportunities.
      Buddy, the Ottomans did 1000 times more for the Christians of Balkans than European nations ever did and were much more tolerant of them. I believe that even the prime minister of Romania once said that had the hungarians conquered romania instead of the ottomans, Romanian identity might have been eradicated. While tragedies did occur, rule under Muslim lands was much better than the same 'real friends' you think so highly of.
      Maybe, instead of judging a nation based on religion. we should also look at their actions to see who were the better friends or enemies (true friends generally don't exist in politics, but you know what i mean)

      I agree highly with this; however, Netflix has an agenda to uphold that tends to ruin or taint the legacy of many significant historical figures (especially those who come from Western Civilization, etc.).
      The Ottoman show is good, but it has some historical flaws that omit some known facts (Ex, how Mehmed slaughtered close to 10,000 civilians around the Hagia Sophia church after breaching the Constinolople, which the show doesn't highlight/show except him saying that it will be a Mosque after omitting the fact that his Janissaries committed a massive massacre & rape of innocents)
      Like the Roman Empire series, which already had three seasons, many facts were blindly missed and ignored given how heavy-handedly they presented the story of Julius Ceaser, Caligula, Tiberius, Marcus Aurelius, and later Commodus.

I agree that didn't mention that there were mass killings and enslavements by the Janissaries but Mehmed didn't order on the contrary after the third day he got sick of dead and on the contrary he ordered the stop of enslavements and lootings. Because Ottoman army died in mass in sieges, because the defenders didn't accept most of the time the peaceful surrender offer at the beginning, it was considered their "sword and blood right". I know it does not look civilised, siege of jerusalem and 1204 sack of constantinople were way worse. Mehmed wanted Constantionople to be a multi ethnic and cultural city. He wanted raise both Greek, Genose, Jewish and Turkish population of the city.

    Always interesting to think how much different things if at all could have gone in the Balkans if Skanderbeg or Vlad had gotten much broader support. These guys were intimately familiar with the Ottomans and knew how to fight them, not just a bunch of French Knights doing a suicide charge.
    They still seem important because they muddied things up and slowed the Ottomans down and gave the Venetians, Austrians and others more time.

    Mehmed ll was one of the greatest sultans if not the greatest sultanate of the Ottoman Empire. To be great he had to be authoritative and respected by his subjects. He excelled in psychological warfare and intimidation, but Vlad Tepes was an even more intimidating and psychologically cruel leader than Mehmed was. He used mehmed’s own methods and tactics against him to defeat the sultan and at times used his own methods to keep the Ottomans at bay. Definitely 2 unique figures of the age.

      Why is he your favourite? He was taught how to fight in the Janissary corps, was partly Turkified having grown up in the Ottoman court; a sadist who loved lodging wooden steaks up sphincters, before being killed by Ottoman troops who had his severed head sent to Mehmed II, who displayed it for all to see on a pike in Anatolia. Despite intimate knowledge of Ottoman workings, his best idea was a cowardly raid on a tent, instead of lining his boys up for battle.
      He wasn't a great general like Hannibal, but a guerilla fighter. He was so beloved, that even his own brother stuck him in jail. His most outstanding achievement was in buying a house 🤣🤣

    The personality of Mehmed II the Conqueror (1432-1481) is portrayed with considerable variations in the chronographies, the histories, and the multi- farious other texts that pertain to the conquest of Constantinople and to the establishment of the Turks as the dominant power in the Balkan penin- sula. Theologians saw in the young conqueror the new Sennacherib, the precursor of Antichrist who was to destroy the Church of Christ', while se- veral humanists, historians, and scholars adopted a milder and often am- bivalent attitude. They described the Turks as "Asiatic barbarians" who might destroy the ongoing rebirth of the Greco-Roman culture, but at the same time evidently reflecting the Renaissance concept of the ideal prin- ce-they did not hide their admiration for Mehmed's strong personality, his administrative ability, his religious tolerance, and his military genius. In this spirit they did not hesitate to connect him with the Classical tradi- tion and draw parallels between the young sultan and Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Sometimes Mehmed was even portrayed as an exemplary leader, a "philosopher king" surrounded by artists and men of letters, a prin- ce who divided his time between victorious campaigns and leisurely academic pursuits reaching so far afield as to embrace Greek and Latin literature.

Eutropius writes that Dacia was repopulated entirely by Romans from across the Empire. In 117 AD, Hadrian abandoned much of the territories acquired by Trajan, hence you say "20%" but you don't even realise that you are confusing the two phases of Roman Dacia (the one from 106-117, and the other 117-271).
      Theories of the origin of the Old Latin language (the one spoken before Classical Latin), is the Aetolian origin theory. Which argued that Latin was a Greek dialect from Aetolic, which Aeneas spoke when he came to _Latium Antiquum._ That's one, however linguistical research argues that Latino-Faliscian came from Proto-Italic which was formed from PIE language language around 11th century BC‼️We still have surving writing's and inscriptions from the Old Latin language which enabled the linguists to conclude an origin from Proto-Italic steeming from PIE💯😁

    Ah, good old times when the rulers were fighting one-on-one on the battle field while the soldiers stood by cheering them on! bring back those time please and I guarantee there will be no wars these days 😁😁😁.According to the turkish chronicles of the time Mehmed The Conqueror bribed King Matthias Corvinus (for a large sum of gold and promise of non-aggression pact) to apprehend Vlad Dracula. It is way cheaper to bribe than to conduct an immensely expensive expeditionary force. It is extremely difficult to access medieval turkish chronicles due to immense bureaucracy and secrecy (don't ask me why). On another if Stephen the Great (Moldavian king, another legendary warrior, given the title Champion of Christendom by the Pope) would've united with or helped Vlad Dracula the results would've been very different. Mehmed the Conqueror was the greatest Sultan of Ottoman Empire, a shrewd diplomat and a great general (he personally conducted hands on all his military endeavors). Given all these circumstances Vlad Dracula is my favorite champion, he stood fast against insurmountable odds yet he did not budge. Legendary figure in history.
