Idiotic youtube
as Roman Empire who have Praetorians, The Ottomans have Janissaries. Both effective in combat but ruthless and corrupt in politics
Actually the early Pretorian Guard was good
But mid too late not soo affective and weren’t elite but more like paramilitary
Also Samurais in Japan
@@hansgunsche2262Like the video explains, Jannisaries were good at first too. They had no connection with policy and economy until the early 17th century.
wagner
But need a lot of em against small armies in Europe
Syrian here. We have a family tree dating back to the 1500s, I had two ancestors who served as janissaries either during Bayezid or Selim’s reign
In short your very ancestors were forced to be a muslim
Nice may Allah reward your family who served Allah though does great Muslim leaders who changed the world ameen 🙏
@@Uzair_Of_Babylon465janissaries were nothing at the end. Greedy and hunger for power! That’s nothing for islam or muslims!
Mahmmood II has very powerful and personal reasons for this drastic move When he was a child or a teen in 1808 there was a Janissary revolt he was then the Ottoman crown Prince and janissaries entered Topkapi palace and he had to hide inside the room of a kalfa or servant who saved his life in the harem that i believe he never forgave or forget what the jannusary did and he decided that if he became sultan, he will finish them off foreverand thats what he did
He was a idiot and a weak ruler who made ottoman worse
@@abdullahassaffah
Do you not fear Allah to speak like that?
1. Sultan Mahmud II Han Hz (RA) was not an idiot or a weak ruler at all.
2. If a Khalifa or even just a righteous Muslim ruler was to make mistakes or something you don’t call them an idiot and a weak ruler.
Fear Allah.
Remember that a lot of the history available out here on the internet is from sources of the ENEMIES of the Ottoman Caliphate which wish nothing but for the Muslims to not rise again, and no better way to do that then corrupt their history and make them to forget about they’re Ottoman Khalifa…
Why do you think 97% of all these so called shaykhs or scholars never speak of Ottomans when they are literally our MOST RECENT caliphate, it’s all a propaganda.
Also you have no idea how much good he and all the other Sultans done for the Ummah, they were Awliya !!
This is an underrated channel, LITERALLY
Thank you 🙏
as a turkish guy who study history, i can tell that your videos are awesome
please keep making content about ottoman empire
Nice, clean & simple 👍
Thanks
Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
There is a very sad song in Serbia called "Janicar". It is about warrior who is burning his native village and in that madness he recognize his own mother
Serbians are being Serbians by making anti-Turkish propaganda. Like cmon man do Europeans really thing a Sultan would let his soldiers to burn his new lands
Damn
I'm reminded of a greek tragedy where one was dismembered by one's own mother, both are horrific.
Always change a broken system is as true as never change a running system
Seems just like the praetorian guard
You"ll find many aspects of the ottoman empire are just byzantine traditions
Pretorians were not brainwashed kidnaped as childeren to become blood thrsty monsters
@@Newmusellemihayat Praetorians were in united Roman state, East Rome had the Varangian Gaurd from vikings
Born in the fire and blood of battle; so too were they extinguished
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
West never understand the concept of what is slavery or not in the Ottoman empire. Contrary to what is said in the video as Jannisaries are technically slaves, they can at most be considered as servants with paid salaries and a lot of different rights. They were not the equivalent of the black slaves working on the cotton fields of Americas.
West always looked the rest of the world in their own pov.
Great final quote ❤
I think it was Ahmed the Third who removed the Devshirme System not the Janissaries themselves made it so that people who wanted could become janissaries which filled the rank with criminals who just want to get their escape and as Janissaries were influential they just revolted at any little inconveniece like a spoiled brat I think letting everybody become Janissaries was a big part in the Ottoman decline.
Devshirme system was removed by Mahmud II
What? No. Janissaries were removed by Mahmud II.@@kermi4654
There wasn’t a devshirme system being implemented by the time of Ahmed the Third as there was no need for it, janissaries were no longer recruited using the traditional system and the position largely became hereditary where you could be a janissary if your father was a janissary. They exploited the empire and were directly responsible for the murder of various sultans. Then again the janissaries themselves weren’t really janissaries by that time anyway.
as a Turkish it is a %100 correct video
What is your problem?@hiooxkrmagkis9323
@HardCore_Islamist Okay now we are greek too?? Then where the hell Ottoman descendentes today. Please stop writing crap! You're so intimidated by Turks you're constantly making up bullshit about our history. Just stop ok. Mind your own business.
@HardCore_Islamistwhat are you talking about?
Why you say modern turks are greekified?
@HardCore_Islamist ??
Uthmaan II was strangled, not stabbed
correct. Spilling Royal blood was not allowed in Ottoman culture.
1. Its not "Uthman" its "Osman".
2. He got beaten, raped, got stabbed then strangeled.
@@MCMLXXXVICCXII sure, did that fantasy turn you on? Keep it to yourself
@@Nilvolentibusje That's something basic you'd expect someone commenting on Ottoman history to know. Whenever I think I've found a good history channel, it turns out to be just a copy and paste with no proper research :(
@@MCMLXXXVICCXII muted
They just Ottoman version of praetorian guard.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😄
Uzair of Babylon, find you in every video
Tanzîmat😊😊😊
Ottomans were very adaptive as far as fighting tactics. Very knowledgeable on the history of Rome and Alexander the Great. They apply the same tactics as Romans did . The Janissaries were Christian Boys . Mainly Albanians and Bosnians.
Orphaned of Christian parents, they grew up muslim. They weren't Christians
At one time they where all Albanian
Not true, mainly Serbian and Greek

They recruted boys from country's,they conquired,Serbs,Greeks,Albanians.Like the Roman empire they did the same.
Ottoman Janissaries are VERY similar to Pakistan Army.
Janissaries mostly consisted of Serbs and other christians.
@@Forevertrue-z2w Devshirme system ended in 1648
Muslim black blood. Desperate ambitious

Mamlukes: are we a joke to you?
mamlukes are the rullers of the empire while janissaris are just the millitary side of the empire
@@Aras-em6nz both were slave soldiers that is what I was referring too. The janissary weren't unique.
Jannisary were infantry regiment mostly, mounted or; dismounted. They came from Christian serf/peasant families.
Mamelukes were cavalrymen. They came as slaves sold by mongol khanates. They were from subjugated/vanquished/conquered horse riding nomadic tribesmen@@johnmanole4779
@johnmanole4779 one small difference mamlukes gained their freedom after their training was complete while janissaries serves all their life
As i have heard, the Ottomans copied the practice of young slave soldiers from the Mamluks
sultan Osman the second could have suppressed the janissary revolt but he didn't because he was soft and wanted to convince them peacefully which gave the janissaries the time to lunch a sudden attack against the palace and kidnap and strangle sultan Osman the reason I say that sultan Osman could have suppressed the revolt is because when sultan Mehmed the conqueror ascended the throne due to his father sultan Murad abdicating the throne for the first time the janissaries revolted which forced sultan Murad to return to the throne and suppress the janissaries revolt and he used both Turkmen soldiers and regular troops like the Timar Sipahi and palace as well as yaya and muselem cavalry Azab and akinji soldiers while the palace six divisions that where created to counter the janissaries where not created until the reign of sultan Mehmed the conqueror but that is after he reigned permanently I mean after his father died as in after abdicating two times and before abdicating for a third time he died which the sultan created the six palace divisions or in other worlds called kipakulu sipahis in order to counter the janissaries which is why it was easier for sultan Salim I Bayazid II and sultan Suliman I to suppress the janissaries revolt in Bayazid's case the only reason the janissaries succeeded in making his son Salim succeed the throne is because sultan Salim had both his provinces provincial army as well as the Crimean tartars as well as the janissaries and some other elements of the ottoman army and don't forget after sultan Osmans death Sultan Murad wasn't as soft as him and thus he used the six palace divisions to brutally suppress the janissaries rebellion and thus put them in their place but he was the last sultan to do so after him most other sultans were soft and thus they never crushed the janissaries due to not wanting blushed to happen.
They are like samurai version of ottoman empire
Jannisaries were not slaves.Probably the word "Kul" was translated to "slave" but thw word kul was more like kinda "if you help me i help you" between sultan and his people.Also not just jannisaries but others also called "kul" (ottomam citizens i mean)
No. They are. But slave doesnt means slave. Janissaries are slaves but different slave from america or different from ship slaves of different from concubines all of them are slaves but each one is different. Being ship slave is one of the worst things can human be but being a devshirme and becoming a grand vizier? You can be strongest man in the world. Being concubine of the sultan? You can be strongest women in the world. Janissaries are technically slaves because they are taken and forcibly educated in schools and become direct slaves of sultan but authority to the slaves are nearly little. Think it like being duchy in Holy Roman Empire, you are a duke, emperor is your liege but in same time it isnt, you can act like independent duchy but still Emperor is your liege.
@@srd895 Yeah and it made them "kul"!This word probably has an lost in transition.Like we turks call California as province actually its a state(another lost in transition)So if we called them slave its means they cannot to be palace guards in terms.Or they cannot be revolted but even they first years they revolted against Mehmed II the "Buçuktepe revolt" and even sultan abdicated im favour his fahter the Murad II.
Ben de Türküm kul un ne demek olduğunu biliyorum. Köle demelerenin sebebi kul u yanlış çevirmeleir değil, sultan "kullarım" dediğinde aslında "tebaam" der. Kul demek daha çok Sultanın halkı demek. Yeniçerilere köle demelerinin sebebi kulu yanlış çevirmeleri değil teknin olarak köle olmaları. Ama köle olarak diğer kölelere kıyasla çok daha özgürler öyle ki dediğin gibi Sultana karşı bile isyan ederler ya da Sultandan bile güçlü olacak bir vezir olabilirler. Batı köleliğinde hiç bir köle efendisinden güçlü olabilir mi? Hayır. Ama Osmanlıda olabiliyordu. Bu yüzden teknik olarak köle olsalarda bu kölelik batıdakinden farklı.@@kermi4654
@@srd895 🙄🙄 seni allaha havale ediyorum kardeşim iyi günler
The reasons for Yeni Çerı were 2; One to have them as "slaves" and Sultan guard units for that you could not have Muslim slaves. Second they shouldn't have connection to any one or any where so they wouldn't be corrupt.
But that is how they ended becoming the 2 reasons they should solve!
Fact: Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, so 1300’s, the stolen Greek & other Balkan boys were taken further into Anatolia & not instabul for their training and conversion as you rightly mention…By mif 15th century, Constsntinople was still Byzantium, part of the Eastern Roman empire, run by mostly Greeks, italians etc etc
Bro is yapping Wikipedia
A revolutionary idea just like the Mamluks of Turkic origin centuries before
These people are probably like mamluks when they feel strong and smart they will do a coup
A lot of this isn’t true…
Alot of it’s sources are from the historical side of the enemies of the Ottomans which lie a lot.
Oh yeah sure! Those nasty Greeks must have lied a lot saying bad things about those poor Ottomans.... funny thing how that they convinced Hungarians, Romanians, Croatians, Serbians, Bulgarians, Armenians, Georgians and even fellow muslim Arabs to coordinate altogether and tell the exact same "lies" with those nasty Greeks! LOL!
The amount of mental gymnastics you need to do to avoid the hard realities of history will never cease to cause amazement. To note now that the video actually omitted the biggest part of Ottoman violence in order to tone it done and become palatable is needless - one wonders if these people do the same for Nazi WWII crimes or Communist crimes and why the feel the need to avoid telling the whole nasty truth for the case of Ottomans. Maybe Turkey's membership in NATO since the late 1950s had a lot to do with the concealment of the despicable Ottoman history, not really a history but rather a criminal record.
Serbian ferocious heroic 12 knights killed ottoman sultan Murad the first in Kosovo battle 1389. This janissaries did not save Murad and did not protect him from Serbs you mentioned dude.
This is not clear. Some sources says it is different, some sources says it just fell from horse, some sources says it is assassinated. But i think you have nationalist perspective to history. Saying "heroic 12 knights" and presenting uncertain information as if it were certain is not a true perspective for reading history.
@@srd895 Leonidas and 300 Spartan warriors are where heroes???
According to western perspective they were. According to eastern perspective they werent. Both perspective is subjective. And you cant read any history with subjective perspective.@@TofiSerb
@@TofiSerb no guy can jump w 12 knights to sultans tent. In our version while he inspects battlefield he acts like a wounded soldier on ground then rushes and stabs the sultan. Unlike ur historians the guys that talks about ours are soldiers or people that are near to sultan.
But they saved first beyazid. And he conquered the land of serbs.
Just saying that some writer say that devshirme was a brutal taxation of Christian children and most western and a little bit Islamic writers use this version when writing about ottoman and janissary system. But if we look into some Muslim writers, they will say its a system of taking the Christian orphans of the man who fought the war against ottoman during their rise.
Yes they turn everything upside down to look noble. In fact they were ruthless and limited.
亡くなったイスラム教徒全員に神のご慈悲がありますように。
They don't learn from the mamluk
Its not j its prononced y like german j. Yeniseri
So Janissaries fought Dracula?
Yup
Sounds like PAK Army
Those children and their parents should have been thankful to the sultan for the sultan's kindness and helping mind.
What kindness and helping mind?
That bachabaz sultan found a way to have a slave s**cide squad consisting of kids belonging to conquered people of other religions and used them to commit "human rights violations" (just as West Pakistan did to East Pakistan) on their own blood relations.
Later on it backfired and Ottomans paid the price for their karma!
They had to kill their parents later when they attacked their hometowns and villages. Nothing great about kidnapping children.
These boys were not “recruited “! They were kidnapped!!
Many gave their kids cuz they got paid
Didn't western countries kidnap other people? For example from Africa?
It's so surprising that Liberals and Socialist aren't calling for Turkey to give reparations to Albania, Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Bosnia. Or Egypt for Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Or Saudi Arabia, India and China for Ethopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Djibouti, Kenya and The Sudans.
What bro this is wrong video, what did Egypt do?Also you mixed France and Uk for Saudi Arabia, China and India?
Also are you a bot?
True
Great hill land.
It's just cruelty out of political correctness not to mention how hateful was this institution of jenissaries and devsirme to the christian enslaved population of Balkans, especially the Greeks, the Serbs, the Bulgarians who were suffering by the mandatory kidnap of their children. Songs and traditions and historical narrations are recording this suffering and trying now some persons from the West to justify this turkish atrocity is totally unacceptable! Plus, how is possible not to mention their failure to face the Greeks and the Serbians who formed the first christian indepentant and the first christian autonomous state respectively after revolutions?
It still happens today, only now its called mandatory conscription. also call the draft in some places
It has nothing to do with the conscription nowdays! No one is abducting you during conscription, you are going back, it's not only about the minority boys and of course no one enforces you to change your religion!@@shehryarashraf5840

Kidnaps happened and probably bunch of forced taking of teenagers too but u need to realize after ottomans were successful even balkan nations bribed officials so their children would be taken. Janissary were more than mere soldier because taken children would send to school then they could be even 2. powerful person on ottoman empire which is a Veziriazam.
Obviously you have filled with hate against Ottoman or Turkish idk but this was not a kidnapping. They were either war orpans or their family gave them willingly to the Ottoman so that they could have a better life in rich Ottoman lands. I didn't even want to explain this because it seems that you just writing out of spite not because you know anything. But i felt like somebody needs to educate you. This kind of hate may hurt you someday. A piece of advice.
You know nothing about history sultan Murad time Istanbul (Constantinople ) was not yet conquered
Korpulu was Albanian !! Most of them where Albanian from the 17th century onward.
Not true, most of them were Serbs and other christians.
@@Forevertrue-z2w Absolutely not true read history.
Serbs were low class citizens just as they are now. Slavs who migrate to the Ballkans.
