After the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II continued his campaigns in Europe. His first moves against Serbia and Hungary sparked another conflitct against John (Janos) Hunyadi and culminated at the siege of Belgrade in 1456. In the next decade Mehmed conquered the remnants of the Eastern Roman Empire in Morea and Trapezund, ended the independence of Serbia and Bosnia and also fought a war against Vlad Tepes of Wallachia. Vlad and Mehmed fought near Targoviste in 1462. To the East a new Turkic state- Akkoyunlu was gaining power and Mehmed was forced to defend his interests in Eastern Anatolia against the Akkoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan.

Just look at the Mehmed the Second's opponents: Vlad Tepes, Hunjadi Janos, Skaenderbeg, Uzun Hasan... Their legends could have been much greater if they had lived another time, or Mehmed could have won all the wars he fought if he had any other opponents. I am not sure a different Sultan instead of Mehmed II could hold Ottomans together against these fierce guys from east to west, but I am sure they are all worth to respect.

*I am not sure a different Sultan instead of Mehmed II could hold Ottomans together against these fierce guys from east to west, but I am sure they are all worth to respect.* All Ottoman Sultans around that time were badass. Bayazid was OP as well, but was overshadowed by Tamerlan. The greatest conqueror however is Selim I, while to most just one is Süleyman the magnificant. It is after Süleyman´s death, the Ottoman Sultans start losing quality.

@jamestang1227 6 жыл бұрын

I always find it funny that the Ottoman conquest of Europe (1440s-1520s) is "the battle of Christianity and Islam" when, at best, only a few Muslim or Christian powers were actually fighting. I mean, only Hungary, the Pope, sometimes the Romanian principalities, sometimes the Italian republics and if they're really lucky Poland show up to these Crusades against the Turks while the rest of Europe just sits on the side lines and cheers on, but don't have the willingness to actually fight. On the other hand, the Ottomans are the only Muslim power doing the invading while other Muslim nations sit on the sidelines and cheer on. Clearly the two religions are fighting to the death.

@KingsandGenerals 6 жыл бұрын

It is always more complicated than "Islam vs. Christianity". Look at Syria. Christian US has its Muslim allies there, Christian Russia has a different set of Muslim allies, the Muslim allies of Turkey and the Muslim allies of Iran are different groups.

Although he generally seeked help from other european countries, he was not afraid to attack/harrass Ottoman land if help didn't come. For you EU4 players, just think that you're Hungary and taking on the Ottomans in 1v1 with your starting size.

A slight correction: capital of Principality of Moldavia was never Chisinau, it was Suceava (1388-1564) and Iasi (1564-1859). In the 19th century Chisinau was still a very small city; it became capital of the Russian oblast of Bessarabia in 1812, region that subsequently became a governorate and then a Soviet republic, and is now called Republic of Moldova, covering only the eastern part of the old principality, while the rest of Moldavia (including both the older and the newer capital - as well as other main cities) has been united with Wallachia since 1859.

It's not their ethnic background that made them so great, because if that was the case then their lands wouldn't have been conquered by the Turks in the first place would they? It's the way they were trained and indoctrinated which turned them into such relentless war machines.

@ardaaslan1923 6 жыл бұрын

They were mainly Slavic and Albanian boys. Still, Georgians, Greeks and Armenians were also recruited. That's why in certain times there was rivalry between Western and Eastern recruits. These groups were trying to dominate the administration. However, it was Albanians and Slavs who dominated both the army and administration. Ottomans sent military officers to take healthy and smart sons of Christian families from newly conquered Balkan lands. Some of the families were willing to give their sons because one day they might become one of the viziers of the Sultan. However, some of them were resisting against these officers. Later, these boys were converted to Islam and given to Muslim families so that they could learn Islam and mechanics of the Ottoman society. After they grew up, they were either appointed as soldiers, mainly Janissary, or sent to Enderun, where they were trained for leadership positions, either as military leaders or as high administrators to serve the state. By looking at this simple explanation of Devshirme or the recruitment system, it cannot be denied that this system had a great influence on the Ottoman administration. It is crucial to understand how the Ottomans managed to create such powerful centralized empire by the help of this system.

@Arcana Imperii Believe me i have no love for Islam either, but what you are saying is simply not true. They started as abducted christian children, that´s correct, however they became the most elite unit of Ottoman empire in which a lot of christians wanted to belong, thanks to its many priviledges and a chance to live very succesful life. In the latter times they even became huge political players with a lot of influence over them Ottoman empire. So yeah, not that black and white, but still, Islam is an evil ideology I don´t disagree there.

@aliatack19 4 жыл бұрын

@Arcana Imperii Being Christian or nationality has nothing to do with the reality of being good at battles. The most important thing is training. Btw, although janissaries were elite part of the Ottoman army, there weren't many of them, for example, 10.000 - 15.000 of them were serving the state in the era of Suleiman the Magnificent. We didn't take all Christian children. If a Christian family had had more than one male child, yes, we took them into the army. Some of them became a great general and some of them became soldiers as janissaries.

Important to mention. After the siege of Belgrade the remaining Ottoman army was harassed throughout the Morava valley as it was attacked by a huge number of Serbian gangs of raiders called Haiduks in Turkish. The area had the largest bands of these raiders in the empire and it never trully became pacified. Leading to 1st and 2nd Serbian uprisings 3-4 centuries later.

Kings and Generals its not called Timar system. Timar system is about land distribution to Commanders in return of raising cavalry units (Tımarlı Sipahi) in the upcoming military campaigns. Also by this way, central state was proving security and maintain agricultural production. State was only paying for Janissaries since they were very special and also providing police services in the capital city. Campaigns were planned to take in 2 stages. When the Spring was showing itself, they were beginning for preparations. Whenever they finish their job (arms production, track renewal, raising army etc.), they were marching. Before the end of Autumn, they were turning back to rest.
