The Ottoman Empire - Tracing the History of its European Border (soft spoken ASMR, map tracing)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2022
- Hello! It's finally time to explore some Ottoman history. Specifically, let's look at the border between the Habsburg and the Ottoman empire, from the Aegaen to the Black sea, how it shifted over time and how the Habsburg strategy of fortification has shaped its population until today.
Eine deutsche Version folgt am Sonntag!
This video is soft spoken ASMR intended for relaxation and education, features historic content, and uses map tracing as trigger. Sleep well, everyone! 😘

You don’t understand how much I love this. History, geography AND ASMR??? This is immediately a yes
Woohoooo 🥰🥰🥰
As a Turk, history student and ASMR lover i can say that i enjoyed the video so so much. Thank you so much for this video! ♥♥
I'm very happy you liked it, thank you!! 💜💜
As a Turk, the word "Rumelia" (in Turkish it's Rumeli) comes from two words: 'Rum' and 'ili'. Today the word 'Rum' stands for Greek people who lives in Anatolia. But the most correct term is 'People who lives in Rome'. Because when we first met with Byzantines we heard they call themselves Roman so we called them Roman. In old Turkish common use of the word 'ili' means 'Land of ...'. So when you combine these two words you get 'The land of the Romans'.
By the way I'm not claiming it's %100 true. And i'm sorry if i made a mistake with grammar. I'm still working on my English :).
I don't know why I find this so fascinating but aahhh yess! Thank you for sharing and please, your English is fantastic 💙
We?
I tried leaving a comment earlier but I must have fallen asleep lol. I actually am falling asleep to this again now! Such great maps, history, and soft spoken relaxation. I really enjoyed seeing the differences from maps today. Of course your camera angles are also great. One of my favorite history ASMRtists! Thank you for this sleepy gift!
Hey Nathan, thank you so much for the kind words, you're amazing!
I just wanna say that I really adore your knowledge of history and it makes me feel cool too because I love history. It’s nice to see someone else share my passion.
You seem to genuinely enjoy talking about it and I think that’s my favorite part of these videos, so please always feel free to make more no matter what the topic is (whether it’s history or not).
Hey, I think that's one of my favourite comments ❣ I really like making these videos (even thoughI don't feel particularly knowledgeable lol, but that's the first step to learning something new, right?) and it makes me really, really happy that that joy comes across and I get to share with wonderful people like you. Thank you!! And yes, you're cool 😊
Such a beautiful, magical combination of my love for history, of maps, and of ASMR. Your soft-spoken sharing of such interesting details along with the gentle map tracing is just wonderful. Thank you
I'm very happy you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
Going to share my favourite Ottoman fact: the name "Istanbul" is believed to be a corruption of a Greek phrase meaning "to the city" which is how Constantinople was sign-posted. The Ottomans just decided that was the name of the city.
I love that! What an iconic place it must have been at the time.
I love these kind of infos. Reminds me of how my country got its name: “The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanata; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of the present-day City of Québec. For lack of another name, Cartier used the word “Canada” to describe not only the village, but the entire area controlled by its chief, Donnacona.” I’m sure these kind of misunderstandings happened more often than not 😉
Ooh I didn't know that! Taking notes for the Quebec video haha 🤓🤓
@@td2222 bu çok yanlış bir bilgi. Konstantinapolis yani "konstantin'in şehri" kelimesinin deforme olmuş halidir. "Stanpoli" >>> "İstanbul". Bu uyduruk hikaye nereden çıktı bilmiyorum.
Istanbul wasn’t officially named that until the establishment of the Turkish Republic.
I love history, maps, and ASMR, and I’m learning German. I can’t tell you how perfect this video is. It has everything.
Ooh excellent, that is a good match. Best of luck with German! Don't let any weird dialects discourage you ;)
You are melange! without any doubt my number one favourite asmr channel, absolutely outstanding quality!
omg thank you so much, Teddy, I'm flattered!!
What he said 😉⬆️
😭💖💖💖
The camera work deserves a shout out. Great work
I'll pass it on! Thank you :)
Amazing content as always 💕 can’t wait to see your channel blow up!
💕💕💕
Life has been crazy lately and i haven’t been able to watch as many of your videos, and I have missed them so much! Your voice is so comforting it is instantly de-stressing. Thank you!!
I hope it will get calmer again soon!! 🧡🧡🧡
I discovered your channel last week and have been trying to pace myself! Your content is so great as ASMR, and also as educational content. It's really a great example of using maps as primary sources to explore history. If they weren't so relaxing I'd suggest them for use in classroom settings!
Aw thank you, that's very sweet! But yeah, I fear most classes would either fall asleep or lose interest pretty quickly haha. But that reminds me, there is a fantastic program called Mit Offenen Karten or Le Dessous des Cartes on Arte that would be perfect for that. Afaik there is no English version, though, only German and French.
Ok but this combines the one of the 2 two things I most love in the world, nice women explaining stuff and history/geography
I really enjoy your love of history and your historical map videos, please keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words, I definitely will!
I’ve watched this video countless times. I never make it thru the entire thing without either falling asleep or being so fascinated by what I’m listening to 😭😭😭😭💛💛💛💛
Fun fact, coffee was introduced to Europe by the Ottomans. After the unsuccessful siege of Vienna the Ottoman army left sacks of coffee beans behind and that’s how the coffee was brought to europe.
That's a pretty popular story in Vienna, yes 😊 I'm not sure whether it's entirely correct haha, but either way, I'm glad we have coffee!!
Yay!! More maps! You’re the best
No, you! Thank you 😊😊
Beautiful and timely reminder that we are all not so far from each other historically and linguistically. Thank you for another peaceful look at our past and not so distant yesterday.
Thank you, that's a beautiful sentiment! I'm glad it came across that way - there is definitely a lot of shared history there.
Super relaxing and informative as always
Awesome, thank you ☺
Lovely voice and hands! Awesome videos with the historical and geographic content 😉
This super interesting and relaxing! You have such a soothing voice!
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you, Scott!
For anyone wondering, at 5:55 the region is actually Bessarabia, not Pesaravia as the captions say.
Interesting and relaxing, top shelf ASMR!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy it!
I searched for map asmr awhile back and was sad at the lack of content, so glad to have found someone who does this!!
Hey, I'm glad you've found me, thank you! And I'm sure you know ASMRctica, but maybe also check out ASMR Geographica, Secret Scholar, Tingleswithflyby or WelshASMR82_Maps. Maybe there's something in there that hits your spot as well :)
@@MelangeASMR omg thank youu 😊 you rock!
I've been waiting all day to watch this ( I live in NZ) so this going to be such a treat. I love your map videos so much.
You're too kind, Jak. Thank you so much!
Your videos are absolutely fantastic
Thank you!!
wondering why it took me 5 of your videos to subscribe. thank you for what you do! 😊
Maybe you were just too relaxed to even think about it, so I'm taking it as a good sign haha. Thank you!
Love your videos, keep up the great work!!! Cheers from a brazilian guy based in Barcelona
Thank you!!
super relaxing 💗
thank you 🥰🥰
Very well made video 😁
Thank you 😊😊
Super Videos!
Danke!
Many thanks!!
My pleasure 😊
Einfach nur Danke
Krasse geile sanfte entspannende stimme der Wahnsinn
Danke danke danke!
omg man ı never seen before history + asmr
ı am study history and hunfry for asmr thank you
It's just a perfect combination, right?
The most interesting and scary part is that so many people sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to conquer these lands, but the inevitable end is that people always want more, Human history is a constantly repeating cycle of suffering, war and disease.
I believe we pronounce Crete as "Creet" in the U.S.
It’s a stretch but I am almost certain that most of the world’s problems could be resolved if they watched your channel , everyone would be relaxed and move on. Problem solved. I’m a wizard. Just kidding, not really. Great video as always.
Ahaha well I wouldn't mind!! Thank you :)
There is a point which you didn't know, in the area you see in the map part of persia, people speak in diffrent languages, hebrew, turkish, kurdish, arabic. In ottman empire too in borders ppl speaking various languages. In a duration persia and ottman both were turk but their official relegion were diffrent, diffrent group of turks. The persia kept farsi as official language. Many intresting things happened between these two countries
Hello I am from Edirne (The Capital before Istanbul) and I was born and still life in Istanbul, I love this ❤️
Hello, thank you!
OMG, what a giant empire...
Thank You Melange - really so very interesting and always mesmerizingly relaxing. So nice to be regularly relaxed and informed on such interesting regions of the world. This region such a strategic part of the world from prehistory right throughout conventional history and into today. Where east meets west. Amazing the Ottomans were able to dominate such a huge slice of what were the earlier Parthian/Persian/Sassanid Empires that Rome was never able to really subdue. To be held back from further encroachment into Europe by Austria and Hungary was really highly significant. Things would have been very different in Europe as a whole if these Ottomans managed to penetrate through that region. Very glad they didn't. Look forward to more on all of this next week. 🌸😉
Hey! Thank you for your thoughtful comment, I'm very happy you're still enjoying these little explorations :) There's a lot of history there, and I always wish I had some more in-depth knowledge about it all, but even these little glimpses of connections across time are so fascinating. I'm very happy I get to share it!
mWhat a relaxing and very interesting video! Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands
Hello Ineke, thank you so much!
If the Ottoman has its European territory then the map is reffering to its late 19th centry boarders. Just thought I would tell you, Love the content!
Yes, that's when the map is from, late 19th century. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
@@MelangeASMR ohh I thought you said 1900's lol. Must have been falling asleep while watching haha
The Ottomans didn’t lose the last of their European territory outside of Thrace until 1913.
Could Land of the Rom could refer to the Roma population? As nomads they lived and live especially in Eastern part of Europe
That sending of young ppl from austria to the ottoman empire, because I knew someone from Turkey who went to school in Germany growing up which she said many kids did as an agreement between the two countries, so the opposite happens now!
Ah interesting, I didn't know about this agreement specifically. I do think the circumstances are a little more child-friendly though haha.
Here’s a thought (apologies if this has already been commented on); could the “land of the Romans” section of the map be a mis-translation? Rather than Romans, it could be in reference to the Roma peoples
No need to apologize! It's an interesting thought - I guess it's unlikely since the Romani have also historically been minority groups, but frankly I don't know.
@@MelangeASMR What you said in the video is exactly right. The Roman heritage survived. There's a story where when in WW1 parts of the Greek speaking ottoman empire was occupied by British soldiers, one asked "Are you Greeks or Turks" "We're Romani" was the answer.
The Byzantine culture survived very long, one of the reasons being that the Ottoman Empire wasn't cultural imperialistic like European colonial powers.
Great content!
Ρωμιοι/"romji" (and not Ρωμαίοι/"Romei"/Romans) is what Greeks called themselves within the Byzantine empire . The popular belief within the empire was that they were the "trve" Roman empire. However, this is also what they called themselves some 400 years later when they revolted against the Ottomans in the 1800s, as well as the early 1900s. Nothing to do with Romania or the Romani peoples though, who also decided to call themselves that for similar reasons (empire collapsed) later.
No it’s referring to the Romans as the region was conquered by the Ottomans from the Byzantines, which was the Roman Empire that survived into the Medieval Period.
@@wyomingisfake4813 eh I wouldn’t say they weren’t culturally imperialistic. The Albanians for example were essentially given the choice between conversion to Islam or starvation.
You have a beautiful voice, I'm trying to write something but I'll zzzzzz
Thank you 💛💛 Maybe it's time for a nap!
@@MelangeASMR yes it was a nice nap before work 😊
Deutsch ist so unästhetisch haha
Shout-out an deinen Content, aber ich musste laut lachen als du den Titel vorgelesen hast. War das erste Mal dass ich ASMR auf Deutsch gehört habe und das ist es irgendwie nicht.
PS: Ups gerade gesehen dass du auch Videos auf Deutsch machst, das ist bisschen awkward jetzt. Aber ich steh dazu.
omg was sind das für Lügen #hassimnetz!! Haha na, jedem das Seine. Aber ich hab mir gedacht, ich werd hier bissi Imagepflege für Deutsch betreiben, weil österreichisches Deutsch klingt einfach lieb und charmant und urästhetisch!!
@@MelangeASMR Das österreichisches Deutsch das beste ist ist tatsächlich true. Selbst ich als Norddeutscher muss zugeben, Wiener Deutsch bestes Deutsch.
Oooh. I had no idea Transylvania was identical with what I know in Czech as Sedmihradsko.
⭐⭐ 🇹🇷 ⭐⭐
Do it illyria 'albania' 🙏
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I have a lot of open requests atm so no promises, but I'll try and revisit the Balkans soonish :)
Tunisia was French my dear I believe at that time. Ottoman were tough tho.
Good question! So Tunisia came under French rule in 1881 which means the map might be a tad older than I thought (or they didn't update it properly).
@@MelangeASMR hard to update a physical map hehe well one mystery for us. Can't wait for more and hopefully some map tracing about French language evolution / history ♥
Are you a historian? Or a geographer?
Neither, just interested in both. I have a language background.
Palestine ❤❤❤
