📜 Suleiman the Magnificent - Part 1 - Extra History
Suleiman's father, Selim I, had pushed the borders of the Ottoman Empire further than any before him. Suleiman and his childhood friend, a Greek named Ibrahim who'd once been his slave, had to race back to Constantinople to claim the throne before news got out. Suleiman immediately bestowed gifts on the janissaries and court officials whose favor he would need for a successful reign, but he also carried out executions against those he suspected of treachery. He could not afford to be too kind. Indeed, his rule was challenged immediately by a revolt in Syria, which Suleiman crushed with overwhelming force to secure his reputation as a powerful leader. He wanted to stretch the empire even more, to bring it into Europe, which brought his attention to Hungary (his gateway to Europe) and Rhodes (a thorn in his side in the Mediterranean). The young prince of Hungary gave him the excuse he needed by executing an Ottoman envoy who'd come to collect tribute. Suleiman prepared his troops for war.

@sicat2345 Well, it wasn't much of a tradition then. It was made legal by Selim's grandfather after an interregnum period with four sons of the prior Sultan split the empire and it was lucky to be reunited. But only for the reigning Sultan. And Selim didn't kill Suleiman's brothers (he was an only child), Selim killed his own brothers, and his dad (because none of the above were into letting him succeed the throne). Not certain about the brothers, but taking out the reigning Sultan was definitely not within the borders of Ottoman law. But you can get away with a lot when you win a civil war.

To be a slave in the Ottoman Empire (or at very least, a slave to the Sultan) was not the same thing to being a slave to a plantation owner in pre-Civil War US South. Most of the Sultan's personal advisers and administrators were slaves to the Emperor, as were the entirety of the elite Janissary forces. One lessen the Ottoman learned very well from the Byzantine history of Narses and other Eunuchs is that people who cannot inherit the throne in any situation can be far more loyal than anyone who has a chance to conspire for power.

The Janissaries weren't allowed to marry offcially, so officially they can't found a dinasty, meaning they can't dethrone the sultan. While in Egypt, the Mamelucks dethroned the sultan and took over the coutry.

It's something that my history textbooks neglect, they just say "He took the city', or 'he outmaneuvered the politician', but they never say how, which is in my opinion the most important part of history. History isn't WHAT happened, it's HOW and WHY it happened. This series never disappoints in that regard.

I love the change in story telling with this series. Rather than building tension with a story that you presume the audience does not know, you have Suleiman recalling the events of his life like the audience would through the lens of history. Also, you remind the viewers that history does not end when a figure in it dies; each chapter in the great tome of World History is a continuation of the chapter before it. Keep up the good work; I am already looking forward to the next series.

@t3hsourcey 8 жыл бұрын

+Mostafa Haque I'm Bulgarian, prejudice against the Ottoman Empire is instilled early in history classes. The funny thing is that I couldn't care less for religion, and Islam might as well be the same as Catholic Christianity to me. And the Ottoman oppression on the Balkan countries is painted in a pretty bad fashion as you'd expect. Another amusing thing is that there was a live action drama series on national TV exactly about Suleiman's life, at least from the perspective of his wife I think. I am actually rather curious about these series now, but I doubt whatever patriotism left would be validated in an episode as Ottoman rule wasn't _that_ bad, it held for centuries for a reason. It did put restrictions on people, but they were also given tools to keep on living, the worst part was obviously culture being oppressed, but it wasn't outright denied. And yes, the "blood tax" of taking small children from villages to train them into soldiers, but even then, some people saw it as an opportunity for their kin to escape the mundane rural life for something better.

@SuperHipsterGamer 8 жыл бұрын

V Stanev I think the biggest problem is, that the ottoman empire is still a very recent empire. And therefore the decendants of the conquered feel a much strunger kinship towards them, than a french would do to the italians because of roman occupation. Or the brits towards the danes because of viking invasions. But people also seem to forget, that european history has always been about "might makes right". The hungarians were soon after ottoman rule being forced into austrian. The Swedes and Danes took turns to massacre eachother. The spanish killed countless number of people during the inquisition. And if you as a country didn't want to play by those brutal rules, you would be conquered.

+ArtPlays Now I'm no expert on the subject but I was under the impression that Istanbul quickly replaced the old name at least among the lower classes. I know that the two names were interchangeable in official documents until "recently" under Ataturk. If you have further information I wouldn't mind hearing more; my knowledge on the Ottomans is limited and would love learn more.

@poop-for-brains 8 жыл бұрын

+ArtPlays Kind of, in official means, yes. Colloquially it was refereed to as Istanbul before the 15th century. I ain't got sources, so I could be wrong, but I remember this from a lecture a while ago. Take this with a grain of salt.

Those knights of Rhodes were the Knights Hospitaller of the crusades, and would later be known as the Knights of Malta (hope that this series would cover that epic siege). Believe it or not these knights actually still exist to this day; they even have a website and everything.

Fun fact , the Knights that occupied Rhodes back then , still exist today and are known as "Knights Hospitallier" or "Knights of Malta" , as they moved to Malta after the Ottomans took Rhodes Obviously they dont hold Malta today , because a certain Bonaparte ended that in the 1800s , but they still exist as an order within the Catholic Church
