    Kings and Generals animated historical animated documentary series on the Ottoman Wars continues with the first video in the mini-series on the Long Turkish War, as the Ottoman Empire and the alliance of European states lead by the Habsburg Monarchy and the Holy Roman Empire clash over the control of Hungary, Wallachia and Transylvania culminating at the battle of Calugareni, where prince of Wallachia Michael the Brave fought against the Ottoman grand vizier Koca Sinan Pash. Following the defeat at Lepanto and the death of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire is on the backfoot, but is still strong enough despite internal rebellions.

But yeah, I'm also glad the series continues

    @petergray7576 2 роки тому +222

    Though the Sipahi were a problem for Ottoman stability, a bigger threat were the Janissaries.
    The Janissary forces were already disgruntled with the Sultanate as far back as the waning years of Suleiman the Great's reign, when political intrigue led to the assassination of Suleiman's heir Sehadze Mustafa, by his father's bodyguards (who went full Emporer Aurelian on the poor kid), and the ascension of Selim II as crown prince. The underhanded manner in which Selim ascended made him look weak to Janissaries (and Mustafa was a proven leader), and led to tensions with Suleiman. Selim proved their suspicions, as he was an ineffectual hedonist who spent most of short reign in feasts and drinking parties with his cronies.
    After Selim's death in 1574, the Janissary leaders briefly reconciled with new Sultan Murad III, an unmistakably pious man compared to his father. But Murad's reign was an unhappy and calamitous one. Anatolia had seen a population boom under Suleiman and Selim, but the 1580s brought severe drought to Anatolia, causing mass displacement of agricultural workers to major cities, saturating labor markets and reducing wages. And then while all of this was happening, Turkey and the rest of Europe were inundated with cheap, high quality Spanish silver from the mines at Potosi in Spanish Peru, causing the debased Ottoman silver coinage to lose value drastically due to inflation. Unable to earn fair wages, Ottoman laborers became increasingly restive. More importantly the Janissaries forced Murad III to become a virtual prisoner of the Tokapi Palace, where he stayed constantly to prevent a Janissary backed rival taking control of the state. Another looming problem were the Jelali, part time militiamen specializing in musketry and who were mercenaries for the Porte or its regional officials, and now couldn't earn wages as either civilians or soldiers.

    He wasn't named Michael the Brave for nothing. The man was an absolute chad with huge balls. He was a descendent of the royal families of Moldova and Wallachia, also by his mother side he was related to the last roman family that ruled Constantinopole, the Cantacuzinos. Next episode will be how with his allies he overcomes the ottoman army at the bridge battle over the Danube, the battle of Giurgiu. It isnt mentioned in the video but when the wallachian army was pushing back the ottomans, Michael knew the advantage will be lost soon, so he did what Sinan Pasa did, he gathered his personal retinue and dived in the middle of the battle, cutting janissaries left and right. This acted as a morale boost for his soldiers as they pushed the ottomans even more.

He understood that a national army made of peasants could not cope with modern war of that time so he made his army of paid professionals. His main problem was the money to finance such an army. When the money dried out he was forced to abandon his enterprise and go to Viena to ask for help from Emperor Rudolf.

I do wonder if the troops that pursued Michaels army after the feigned retreat, did so because he did cause a great deal of atrocities against the Ottomans. Their hate for him was probably so strong, since the call to war against him raised such a large army.

    I think you should remake some of the older videos from the Ottoman wars series, and also start it with the Battle of Maritsa river in 1371, since that battle essentially decided the fate of the Balkans and opened the way for the Ottomans to conquer large part of Europe.

    Excellent video, I am truly thankful that you offer such great content for free. My only complaint is that you should have mentioned the fact that the majority of the orthodox rebels were Serbian, and that Koca Sinan Pasha organised the Burning of Saint Sava's relics in Belgrade as revenge. As Saint Sava is the most venerated Serbian saint, this event is seen as very important in Serbian history.
