  • Explore the early days of the Ottoman Empire, as shrewd political rulers grew the principality into an intercontinental empire.
    --
    In the late 13th century, Osman I established a small principality sandwiched between a crumbling Byzantine Empire and a weakened Sultanate of the Seljuk of Rum, in what is now Turkey. In just a few generations, this territory had outmaneuvered more powerful neighbors to become the vast Ottoman Empire. What enabled its rapid rise? Mostafa Minawi details the early days of the Ottomans.
    Lesson by Mostafa Minawi, directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio.

    Non-Muslims were not allowed in the army. Due to this, non-Muslim families lived longer than Muslims'. I don't believe that it was a *strict* rule. It was a necessary rule for both parties(Muslims and non-Muslims). In those times, religion was the persona of the people. Not race nor nationality were that powerful. Due to this fact, there had to be some rules to prevent non-Muslims from rioting or betraying. Other side of the coin, non-Muslims weren't dying in wars and they were only paying an extra tax for not fighting. Both parties were happy for a long time until Nationalism Movement started with the French Revolution.
    Note: Most of the revolts in Ottoman Empire were not due to religious difference, but due to conflict between Islam branches(mostly Alevism and Sunni).

It also kept people of the same faiths from facing each other on the battlefields. And you can hardly say there weren't _any_ in the military - it varied from area to area. But to be kept safe by the state for a small fee doesn't sound too bad considering what some other people did to the lands they conquered.

    In fact, when Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror conquered Kostaniopolis, he did not change its name, the city was called Kostantiniyye, but in written agreements it was written as Payitaht (City of Thrones). After Turkey became a republic, the name of the city was changed to Istanbul. There are three obvious reasons why the name of the city has not been changed; the first is that the Prophet Muhammad called the city Konstantiniyye. The second is that the Ottoman Empire did not change the name of the cities due to its "Tolerance Policy" (to gain their loyalty by treating non-Muslims well). Finally, the third is that the Ottomans considered Constantine the Great a saint for accepting Christianity and revered him with great respect.

    one of my favorite moments from Ottoman Empire is that Mehmed the Conqueror and his father’s, Murad the 2nd’s “beef”.
    Murad II abdicated the throne to his 12-year-old son Mehmed II.
    During his first reign, Mehmed II asked his father Murad II to reclaim the throne in anticipation of the Battle of Varna, but Murad II refused. Enraged at his father, who had long since retired to a contemplative life in southwestern Anatolia, Mehmed II wrote: "If you are the Sultan, come and lead your armies. If I am the Sultan I hereby order you to come and lead my armies."
    And i think it was the smartest, coolest move in the history.
