- Crusade vs Ottoman Empire | Battle of Nicopolis 1396 | Epic Total War Cinematic |
The Battle of Nicopolis represents a critical juncture in late medieval European and Ottoman history, illustrating the shifting balance of power in favor of the Ottomans in Southeast Europe. Initiated by a call from Sigismund of Hungary, the crusade aimed to push back against the encroaching Ottoman forces that threatened Christian Europe's eastern frontiers. Despite assembling a sizable and diverse force, the European coalition suffered from strategic missteps, overconfidence, and a lack of coherent command, culminating in a disastrous defeat. The battle showcased the effective use of disciplined Ottoman infantry and cavalry tactics, including the strategic deployment of janissaries and the effective use of light cavalry for flanking maneuvers. The aftermath of the battle led to significant captivities, ransoms, and the further cementation of Ottoman control over the Balkans, setting the stage for future conflicts and the eventual siege of Constantinople in 1453. The Battle of Nicopolis not only marks a pivotal moment in the decline of the Crusading movement but also highlights the rise of the Ottoman Empire as a dominant power in Southeast Europe.

What Europeans did not understand for 300 years;
"If the Turks seem to be running away, don't follow, FFS. It's a trap."
Turks have a awesome Military tactics.And his Troops is very disciplined and loyal. Big Respect for the Sultan.
You are describing the war incorrectly, we have very clear historical documents. First of all, when this union was formed, the Ottoman army was at war in Anatolia. The Ottoman army had just set out when the Crusaders united and began to besiege Nicopolis. The armies consisted of the following states. France, England, Genoa, Venice, the Knights of Rhodes, Bohemia, the German principalities, Wallachia, Naples, Aragon, Castile, Poland, Switzerland, Bosnians, Burgundians, Hungarians, Teutonic Knights and many counts and feudal lords participated in this war. The war happened like this. A group of Hungarians entered from the Carpathians and the Crusaders went to Vidin. From here they united and advanced towards Nicopolis by plundering. The Crusader fleet also reached the Danube and entered the port. Two days later, land troops came and surrounded Niğbolu, which was defended by Doğan Bey. Meanwhile, Beyazıt, who set out, crossed the Şipka pass and united with all his troops in Tirnova on 22 September. From here he set out to Nicopolis and arrived in Nicopolis on 24 September. In the Crusader army, 1st Mercia went out to explore, taking Wallachian troops and some French and German knights with him. Meanwhile, they encountered the Ottoman Akıncı forces. In the conflict between the two units, the Mercian forces were victorious and the Ottoman vanguard units withdrew. On September 25, both sides took their place on the battlefield. Although there are many conflicting figures from many sources about army numbers, the figure stated by reliable historians and confirmed by modern historians is as follows. It is almost certain that the Crusaders consisted of 17,000 people, the Hungarians and Wallachians 15,000, for a total of 32,000 people, and the Ottomans, including auxiliary forces, consisted of 20,000 people. The formations of the armies are as follows. At the front lines of the Crusader army were heavily armored cavalry, mostly composed of crusaders and noblemen. There were Hungarian soldiers and Germans on the second line, Wallachians on the left, and Hungarian cavalry on the right. In the front ranks of the Ottomans were light cavalry raiders under the command of Evrenos Bey. Right behind them, there were the Azaps, the Archers, and the Janissaries, whose numbers were VERY LOW AT THE TIME, who set up positions by hammering stakes. Because it had only been a few years since the janissary corps was established. On the right was Prince Suleiman with his Rumelian sipahis, and on the left was Prince Mustafa with his Anatolian sipahis. The Sultan himself was at the rear with his Kapıkulu cavalry. Stefan was also waiting, positioned in the forest on the left side, with the forces of the vassals. Since the geography was not suitable for wide-maneuvered cavalry warfare, the Ottoman plan was to remain on the defensive. The Hungarian king Sigismund knew how the Turks fought, so he wanted to lead the war, but the crusaders, who were enthusiastic and excited, refused, they wanted to fight immediately, they were very confident in their invincible heavily armored knights, the Ottoman's lightly armored and unarmored infantry soldiers could not resist them, they thought they would trample them. For this reason, they rejected Sigismund's offer to wait a little longer and launch an attack from the flanks and started attacking from the center with heavy cavalry. At full speed, they mounted the Akinci forces, which were light cavalry forces, like an iron fist. Raiders were light cavalry units used in attrition operations during the conquests, and they had no chance against heavily armored knights. Anyway, the Ottoman plan was not to make them fight. In the face of this attack, the raiders opened up to the right and left with a quick maneuver. Thus, the knights, whose front was empty, quickly launched an attack towards the center. When they came in front of the infantry, they saw the stakes and were surprised, but they were late. The knights trapped between the stakes were showered with archers. Here they had to dismount and fight on foot, but they did not stop. They made a strong attack on the infantry and archers behind. The Ottoman forces retreated after clashing with them. Seeing that the knights could not be superior, the Sultan sent the cavalrymen into battle and the cavalrymen began to hit the knights from the sides. While the tough battle continued, the Hungarians attacked. The Sultan, who did not want the Hungarians and the knights to unite, withdrew the sipahis and placed them in front of the Hungarians, uniting them with the raiders. The knights under the command of the Count of Never continued to fight, and the Sultan then attacked their right and left flanks with his Kapıkulu cavalry. With this fierce attack, the Earl of Never was captured and the knights were completely destroyed. All the nobles were taken prisoner. Meanwhile, Sigismund launched a general attack to save the allies. They attacked the newly established front line of the Ottoman Empire with all their troops. The attack was very violent. The Hungarians were fighting very well. Meanwhile, the forces of Mircea of Wallachia and Prince Stefan of Transylvania were suffering a lot of casualties. Thinking that the knights were also defeated, they thought they would be defeated and took their troops and fled the battle. But the Hungarians continued to fight persistently. Because they were very good warriors, there was a heavy battle in that region and the Ottoman forces began to deteriorate. At this moment, the Sultan ordered the attack on Stephan, the commander of his Serbian vassals. The vassal army attacked from the Hungarian right. With this attack, the Hungarian and other European forces, who were already fighting with their last strength, began to disperse. Seeing that the battle was lost, Sigismund took his loyal forces and headed towards the ships anchored in the harbour. However, Ottoman troops arrived here and Sigismund escaped by only managing to board the ship with a few of his soldiers. The entire remaining crusader army was destroyed. The nobles were taken prisoner. According to Ottoman historians, the number of nobles taken captive was so high that almost every household in Europe had a child captured. The Ottomans demanded very heavy ransoms for these. It is said that due to these ransoms, a serious economic crisis broke out in Europe for a while. In response, Jan, the count of Never, swore that he would never fight the Ottomans again and begged for forgiveness. However, after the Ottoman sultan received his ransom, he returned Jan's oath to him and released him, saying that he could fight him again. Sigismund, who was proud of his army before the war and said to the whole army, "Whether the Ottoman Sultan comes or not, we will destroy all the Turks and go to Jerusalem," could not fight the Turks again. With this war, Europeans completely gave up their dreams of taking over the Balkans.

Вы наверное забыли как Султан Сулейман уничтожил Юануша))) Турки молодцы
This explanation was more exciting than the video. thanks!
Yenilgi öyle ağırdı ki papalıkta kaydı bile olmayabilir o derece eziklendiler😊
Yıldırım Bayezid, Europe's nightmare
The Turks must be very strong, look at the Crusade army ,Crusader army of Hungarian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Wallachian, Polish, French, Burgundian, German, English, Knights Hospitaller, Iberian, Italian, Bohemian, Serbian and Byzantine troops (assisted by the Venetian navy) . And ,Turks beat them .
Serbs were mostly on the Turkish side in the battle. The Turks anyway had a larger army than the Crusaders combined, so the separate states clearly didn't bring much of their own forces.
Hayır sizin sayınız Bizden 2 kat fazla , sizi turan taktiği ile atam yıldırım beyazıd ezmiştir , yinede bir Türk olarak birbirimizle savaşmaya hayır diyorum , aileler üzülmesin insanlar ölmesin 🇹🇷
Not about strength, tactics snd all the divisions in the crusader forces. Leaders couldnt agree on a single strategy. Basically all did thier own thing. Didn't listen to Hungarians who had experience fighting Turks.
@@Luke_the_legendary_hunter of course, that's true. Though if I remember correctly it was the Wallachians they didn't listen to, not Hungarians. In any case, an army so disorganised and chaotic as crusader armies always were, was doomed from the very beginning.
@@user-yc7rq7rm1e I disagree with you. The crusader armies were not always disorganized etc. how on earth would a disorganized crusader army take the queen of cities, unconquerable in 1204 Constantinople. How were they able to take Jerusalem. How were they able to passify the pagans of northern Europe esp Lithuanians. King of hungry played a major role in the events of this particular crusade.
The Turks were very very string such as Mongolian army. I have seen their history is full of war .
Zaten moğol ordularındaki komutanlar ve askerlerin çoğu Türktür. Cengiz han moğoldur. Ama onun komutanı Subutay Türktür
Feigned retreat was a very classical Turkish war tactics. They utilized this technique numerous times on Christian forces and it worked on every occasion..
Wolves will not become extinct just because jackals dreamed He who fights with Turks loses 🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The Ottoman Empire was crushed numerous times,
And the Brits kicked the fuck out of Turks in WW1 taking all your empire….
Lions devour wolves
In this war, the Crusaders were defeated by the ancient war tactics of the Turks in Central Asia. The soldiers in the center retreat as if defeated. Their rivals follow them. Then the soldiers on the right and left wings surround their opponents.
Yep, it is centuries old Turkish battle tactic, known as 'Turan' tactic, or 'wolf trap'.
Typecal horrse archers never engages directly, they keep a distance and can shoot tens of arrows to their back while while fleeing in front or sides. They force attacking for to stop, slow, change direction. They are like hated hornets, which never leave and stings you all over place. If horse archers think that you are vulnerasle, they may charge with cirit, a short spear or chained ace or sword.
Victory Ottomans Against Crusaders.
Maybe the European states were just feeling guilty for 1204. I am sure the Romans just rolled their eyes in disgust after that pitiful effort.
Ottoman historian Shukrullah says that in battle of Kosovo 1389 and battle of Nicopolis 1396 Ottomans had 60000 soldiers whereas Christian armies were 10 times more. This is why that Bayezid under estimated World's #1 Conqueror Amir Timur.
The Greeks always believed other coalition with other nations will bring victory. The Turks fought for survivor.
Türkler için savaş bir düğündür.
Almost like Battle of Cannae, "false retreat" tactic by Carthagenian main army in the center, then the Carthagenian's reserve on both flanks close the both sides and finally the mobilize Carthagenian's cavalry completely encircling the Roman's main formidable Legions frim rear side for the bloody slaughreting party.
The Ottomans said, you can gather all of the armies of Christiandom just to be smashed on our shields! 🛡️
Flawless Victory ❤
Well done!
You are with a lot but We are THE FEARLESS TURKS 🇹🇷💪 proud to my crazy ancestors!!!
Where are the Turks now? What are they? Absolutely nothing!
The Turks are born for fighting...
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Yıldırım Beyazıt’ı durdurabilen tek kişi yine bir Türk oldu, Emir Timur. Timur means Iron. Yıldırım means Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt vs Iron.
Bravo Turkey!
A crusade of 15 thousand? Do you realize how stupidly low that sounds? Just 20 years prior, the Serbian Empire alone had mustered at least 20 thousand troops to attack the Ottomans. That was the battle of Matrise. You're telling me all of Europe sent armies that totaled only 15 thousand?! The Matrice number is even vastly lowered from the official numbers the western sources indicate.
Your video is good but you forget Stefan Lazarevic...Lazarevic mission was importent for the finish the battle ....
😂serbs we’re only who res for Turkish pashas
Десятки европейских стран объединенных в единую армию составляли 15000 человек, не смешите😂 людей
believe the number of soldiers are manipulated slowly thru history, just like our current world
Güzel bir çalışma olmuş tebrikler ederim
Bunları düşün, sonra karar ver.
Senin sen ile anmazlarsa, tarihe yarım veya hiç kayıt edilirsin. Bunu bilim adamlarının ismini değiştirerek, büyük halk kitlesinde ait olduğu yerin tespitunde tartışmalara neden olmaktadır. Bu bilinçli yapılmakta.
Ottoman , Bizans ... benzerleri tilki kurnazı tarihçinin laf oyunları ile tarih belirlenmekte. Olmayan Bizans'ı imparatorluk yapmak ne anlama geliyor? Yahuuu Roma nerde kaldı? Burda Roma imparatorluğu Roma şehri ile sınırlımıydı?
Tarihî gerçekleştiren Romalılar Osmanlılara Türk derken, Türkler de Romalılara Rum derken, burda Ottoman nerden çıktı? Hiç sorgulanmıyacakmı? (Otto ne? man ne? Kelime kökleri nerden? ) Öyle ise Rum, Rumları yıkanlar, Rumeli (Roma) yıkanlar Kimlerdi??
Çalışmanın gerisinin değeri ne olmalı?
the crusaders was always bound to fail on every attempt as far as im concerned
You forget the Serbian knights
yep they saved the day
Lazerivic
Serbs use to present themselves as great enemy od Otoman state but they served Otoman impery for centuries and prospered.

Odnos snaga u bici kod Nikopolja je bio 1:1,čak i malo više hrišćanskih nego osmanlijskih vojnika..Sultan Bajazid Jildirim-Munja je pokazao veliku sposobnost u toj bici. Protiv 16.000 vojnika iz hrišćanske koalicije poveo je u juriš 12-16.000 Turaka i njihovih,opet,hrišćanskih vazala,i pobijedio!
