Timurid Empire: Expected to become eternal but destroyed inside out just a century later. However, Timur's empire is revived in India as the Mughal Empire later on. Ottoman Empire: Unexpectedly survived all the odds and become one of the world's superpowers that controlled portions of Europe, Asia and Africa at the same time.

You're one of the most interesting history channels in youtube right now. Islamic history and the gunpowder empires deserve people like you. I think you said you would cover the Safavids soon, right? I'm very hyped about that.

That’s why the Serbs, Austrians, Italians, Greeks, French, very very jealous lol

Être fort comme un Turc (‘to be strong like a turk’): This expression originates in the 15th century when the Turks had a reputation for being strong, almost unbeatable warriors due to their numerous victories. At the time, the Ottoman Empire ruled large parts of south-east Europe, north Africa and western Asia. It is said that François I, King of France, was gifted Turkish armour by Suleiman the Magnificent (the tenth and most famous sultan of the Ottoman Empire) during their alliance. When he wore it, he is said to have exclaimed: “Here I am now, strong as a Turk!”.

Hands down best history channel!! Shout out from Canada brother 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

THE TURKS AND THE WEST. 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."

Covers the early beginnings well. Could be fleshed out of course, e.g., the coalition under the Serb included many nationalities - including local Kosovars, and Albanians - which makes a mockery of modern era Serbs claiming Kosovo as 'theirs', and more could be done to describe the threat from Timur in the east, are but two examples, but then it would be a much longer video. For those with some knowledge of the era this is an excellent addition to your 'library'. Thank you Hikma History for your well researched and presented efforts.

Definitely a underrated channel 👌🏻

First day on your channel and I’m loving it. Also I subscribed as I saw your subscribed count go from 50.8k to 50.9 so I’d like to think I was the straw that broke camel-50.8’s back

Excellent video! I love the longer videos like this!

wow. great content. subscribed.

Who was the greatest out of the six Sultans in this period (Mehmed Fatih is excluded) - Osman I, Orhan I, Murad I, Bayezid I, Mehmed I, Murad II? Medieval History Playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLiPhmAD3I2JzCm2huELM5moDOPkP-EWNZ

Thanks a lot for an informative video

What a documentary. Very well done, from your speech to the delivery, pictures and such. 👏

A very interesting brief introduction to the ottoman state.

Spectacular indeed

Flashpoint sends me😎👍 Subbed.

the coalition that was fighting against Murad I was not just Serbians-Bulgarians. Albanians were very much part of it. Milosh Kopili was not Serbian.

I believe the biggest role to the growth of the Ottomans was the overlooked Bektashi Order (it is even said that a bektashi sayyid gave them the title of Sultan), both the janissary corps and the style of governance seem to find their roots there. Also "islamic orthodoxy" is a fairly modern phenomenon back then esoteric movements were not really considered as distinct from the rest of islamic theological thought and it was mostly sufi orders that helped islam spread.

I find your channel to be extensively researched, informative, and articulate. I expand on my Islamic knowledge and history every time I watch one of your videos. Your channel is a hidden gem. Dera manana aw koar dai wadan wror jana!

Amazing job!

ghaza rules do not mean to convert non muslim like christians by force and its strongly prohibited in QURAN, all other explanations are almost perfect

i love ur page! did u do a video Nahda? The english language sources are lacking and I feel like you could elucidate it well

Would there be any videos about the Sultans and Nawabs of Bengal?

is this a compilation of previous Ottoman History videos?

Ottoman Empire is the Great empire ever

"By the seventeenth century, literate circles in Istanbul would not call themselves Turks, and often, in phrases such as 'senseless Turks', used the word as a term of abuse." Imber, Colin (2009). The Ottoman Empire, 1300-1650: The Structure of Power (2 ed.). New York: Palgrave Macmillan. p. 3.

Fantastic. I tried several times to understand the rise of the Ottomans (Carolyn Finkle's book put me to sleep, sorry!) but this the first time someone zeroed in on OSMAN's lineage (not just "The Turks"). So basically, if it wasn't for Osman, there wouldn't have been an Ottoman Empire, or later, Republic of Turkey.

28:09 who even came up with that question? Because it would contradict Islamic jurisprudence.

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. The Turks too , the great warriors of the steppes , were almost haughty in the assumption that they inherited the jihad fighting spirit of the tradition and carried it half - way into Europe . Turko-Persia in Historical Perspective p.94 The Seljukian Turks had had some great warriors ; the period of their power was during the eleventh and twelfth centuries ; they had taken the place of the Arabs as the great Moslem power of the east , though an Arab caliph still nominally reigned at Baghdad . The Divine Aspect of History Volume 2 p.324 In the west the Seljuq invasion of Asia Minor began the process which was to make it the modern land of the Turks and the base from which the greatest Islamic empire of the past 600 years would expand into southeast Europe .

This is fascinating & tremendously appreciated. Can you kindly provide in the future: 1. From where the Turks originated - how they come to be. 2. Was Osman a Sultan. 3. When did the Turks developed the Harem. 4. The relation between the Harem and the allowed legal four wives. 5. When the Turks became Muslim and how; & what were they prior. 6. The male Turkish & Ottoman head wraps. They didn't exist in the desert. Why did the men wrap their heads. The Ottomans are just as secret as China behind the Great Wall. Thanks again!

In my mind, the ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire in many ways mirror each other. Both were born in the borderlands between Islam and Christianity, in the wake of nomadic migrations and invasions from the great steppes. Both were born from a relatively unassuming small state among others like it, who were initially in the shadow of the remnant of a great empire (the Golden Horde as a remnant of Genghis Khan's empire, and the Byzantine Empire as a remnant of the once much larger Roman Empire), and both eventually came to overcome and absorb those remnants of empires, while gaining culturally from it. They're mirrored because the Ottomans were muslims, and the empire they conquered was christian, while the Russians were of course christians and the empire they conquered was muslim. Another interesting parallel is how both could for a long time also relatively credibly claim to be the champions of their respective faiths, specifically Sunni Islam and Orthodox Christianity. They both achieved a position where nobody else of the same faith came even close in power, while there were always at least a few very powerful Catholic empires. I think both benefitted from their frontier conditions, and by both having their most dangerous rivals to the west and thus not surrounded by as many dangerous enemies as, say, Austria was. Well, at least after Timur was gone, he was pretty dangerous!

As a Türk greetings from Antalya-Türkiye 🇹🇷👋🏻

Somewhere near in Bursa in the early years of the 15th century: - Ghazy, we fought 357 battles since Osman passed away. - Yes, and ? - And the Black Plague killed countless ones, for decades, Ghazy. The Interregnum wars stopped last month. - Yes so what? - The number of or soldiers ready... - ''scuz me but that can wait. I have a couple more invasions to prepare.

"It is important to note, however, that the Ottoman state recognised no official differentiation by language or ethnicity among its Muslim citizens: the modem notion of being a "Turk" was until the end of the nineteenth century alien to the Ottoman elites, who regarded themselves as "Ottomans" rather than "Turkish." In fact the term "Turk" had the connotation of being an uneducated peasant. Ottoman Turkish, the language of state, was not the vernacular of the mass of the Turkish-speaking population, and along with being a Muslim, knowledge of it was a requirement of high office in the Ottoman state." Poulton, Hugh (2000). "The Muslim experience in the Balkan states, 1919‐1991." Nationalities Papers. 28. (1): 47-48.

Can you do an in depth video on the Sikh Empire

To go through all those hardships and struggle to establish ottoman without compromise, in middle of crusaders heartland only true gazi can succeed!

@11:50

The dream (or vision) of a tree growing out of one's torso (or heart) is not so odd for those active in the occult. There is indeed an unnatural (or preternatural) power involved - but to refer to such phenomenon as "holy" ...is a stretch.

Great channel, love it. The Turks. Named my dog Seljuk

And lots of treaties, charts, documents, resumes, applications, signatures, lists, notes, letters, deals, and partnerships were broken

"The scholarly community specializing in Ottoman studies has of late virtually banned the use of "Turkey", "Turks", and "Turkish" from acceptable vocabulary, declaring "Ottoman" and its expanded use mandatory and permitting its "Turkish" rival only in linguistic and philological contexts." Soucek, Svat (2015). Ottoman Maritime Wars, 1416-1700. Istanbul: The Isis Press. p. 8

Raw power.

Can you do a video on what the Islamic world thinks of the New World throughout the ages?

Sultan Mehmet🇹🇷💪🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷

Rise of The Ottomans, or inflation of the foot cushions?

Good Orientalist View of History

i am from karaman beylik

Only thing you got wrong is that the ottomans didn’t force anyone to convert to Islam but they did not have Christian’s in their army the jannisarries and other soldiers of non Turkish descent were all converts to Islam that was a rule that Christian’s and Jews were free to practice religion of their choice but they could not have weapons own land or hood government offices or join the army . Any devshirme soldiers were also converted to Islam . So the entire army was always Muslim wether they were born Muslim or not .

0:01 this wiki map is just wrong. North african lands, especially libyan lands were bigger than that. Also ottomans conquered georgia,azerbaijan,armenia and part of iran in 1590.

What happened after 1453?

Brother I appreciate your honesty especially when you spoke about the Seeks who I m from tho I feel from west Asia to south and Asia especially tho all Asians have connection to one another. Brother I would like to know ur open I hv understood that the founder s name was osman or asmaan meaning sky beautiful benevolent sky and so so wouldn't the proper name be the osman. Empire because as far as I've heard the ottoman is western word which is very annoying and disrespectful like they have become accustomed to for example they calling the Sindhu the Indus changing the name of Iranian emperor's from khumbujia to canbyses etc.. I can goon for days and then what even sadder is that are ppl from the east o being disrespected disrespected this way we start calling. Our own history by the incorrect names given to us and shamefully scholars from the west rarely correct themselves. I d like to hear your feed back or just wanted to bring this to ur attention I believe it is high time we take our real royal identity a back and there anymore facts which have been intentionally hidden from the plll from the east I could share but don't want to stray from the subject of the osman empire 💙☝️🙏🌞🌛

Ok

One aspect is rise of Tulinade , Ahmed ibn Tulun mid 8 century, who controlled Egypt and Syria region !

Pl go through this history ; ( i ). " The main reason for Ottaman success , however , was the development of stable and permanent institutions of government that transformed a tribal polity into a workable state ". ( ii ) " The Ottamans utilized all human resources in their emirate and quickly learned skills in bureaucracy and diplomacy ........ They also did not slaughter every Christian in their path ; rather , they encouraged the Christian inhabitants of the countryside and the towns to join them . Islamic law and tradition declared that enemies who surrendered on demand should be treated with tolerance . ( iii ). " The Christians of Bithynia were obliged to pay the ' harac ' , or capitation tax , for the privilege of being tolerated , but this was no more burdensome than the taxes they had paid to the Byzantine government , which had neglected their interests . Once they had made the decision to surrender or defect , the Byzantine population resigned to their fate ". " Some Christians converted to Islam upon joining the Ottamans ; however, this was not demanded . Many local Christians even participated in Ottaman raids against Byzantium ". BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page -109 . "Existing sources , such as the 25th century Ottoman census records , suggest that the earliest converts to Islam in the Balkans came from the ranks of the Balkan nobility and military elite that could supply the Ottomans with the manpower ............. BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page -146 .

Pl read this peace message: " The Ottamans set such a good example as pacific conquerors that they won the confidence of many former Byzantine subjects . For example , when Nicaea fell , Orhan allowed all who wanted to leave the city to depart freely , taking with them their holy relics , but few availed themselves of the chance . No reprisals were taken against those who had resisted , and the city was left to manage its internal affairs under its own municipal government . BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page -109 .

The Ottomans Wood have never been so successful Whitout the Byzantines help?. It was the Byzantines who totally on the Ottomans side.

Osman sultan dream must be true bcos dream was fulfilled 🤔

"90% of today's Turks are the descendants of yesterday's Greeks." John Kingsley Birge, A guide to Turkish area study

Best empire in history 😍😍😍😍😍

Please remove music

First

If you think islam is not the main force behind their mission then you are delusional you don't know their doctrine of gazwa a hind which is one goes in east towards India and one in west to islamize .as for Christian soldiers there was tax called jaziya which they used collect from non believers and newly converts

How funny that no mention of the Kurds and they were there. There are 50 million Kurds in that region and they paleyed a big rule in the whole ottoman empire history but noone ever mentions the Kurds. They mentioned the Assyrians which are Christain Kurds lol but under different name. How this world makes me sick 😫

HOW MANY GENOCIDES? ARMENIAN, KURDISH? ANY MORE? SATISFIED?

I like the way Web broadcaster refers to Tazia 4/5 of income Tax for none Muslims Sharea laws as Shary 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆. There is no need for appeasing and apologies for Islamist Terror !

The worst empire in history, the should have never existed in the first place.

Not a single center of learning was established by any of turkic barbarians anywhere in world this includes ottoman, timur, ghaznivid , seljuk etc. Instead they plundered many cities and killed millions of humans in the name of religion. These dynasties were curse on civilization

This is a more Serbian propaganda, shame!!!
