At the beginning of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was victorious. It won in Gallipoli, Gaza and Kut al-Amara. And invaded Egypt and the Caucasus. But after the outbreak of the Arab Revolution, things changed. Half of the Ottoman forces were occupied, leading to the Ottoman Empire's eventual defeat.
@B Whit he just noted that! The reason for those victories was because of the Arab revolt. Siege of Jerusalem for example would had been won by the Turks if the Arabs wouldn’t had betrayed them
@B Whit Arabs revolted because they were provoked by their British masters, Brits sweet tongue charmed Arabs so they revolted and allied with UK. We were fighting against thousands of Arabs as we were also fighting against UK to defend our lands in Middle East.. its not a lie, thats how UK won in Middle East. Still we stopped their advance at Qut-ul Amare, we didn't let them invade Istanbul by winning Battle Of Gallipoli, which was one of the most bloodiest battle in WW1, its also known as being one of the battle which ''melee fight'' was heavily involved, altough Brits had higher technology compared to us, nor their technology and their body strenght saved them from being crushed, our technology wasn't big as their so we kicked them out with our arm's strenght so we actually blocked UK to reach their causes.

I couldn't see any top comments saying this, so. The austrians and russians always fought eachothers through their history, or from the 15-16th century. So I always find it ironic how they went down together.

This was a very accurate presentation of Ottoman collapse. Just one little addition to it could be the enlargement of the Turkish map shown at the end, one more time (to reach today's borders) with annexation of Hatay - in the Syrian Border in 1938.
There is something good in everything. How do you know that the sultans after Mustafa would’ve been great? I mean Selim the second was a son of Suleiman the Magnificent, the best sultan. Yet he turned out to be one of the worst sultans. So there is no guarantee that Mustafa’s descendants would’ve have been just as good as Mustafa. Some great sultans came in history and were the descendants of Selim the second so maybe the empire wouldn’t have lasted as long as it had if Mustafa had become sultan.

Their fate was sealed long before the Balkan Wars with the ideas of the ''nation-state'' that were promoted during the French Revolution. The Ottoman Empire was a religious state. That meant that all Muslims had the same rights no matter where they were from. Thus if you were a Christian, even if you were an ethnically Turk Christian, you still had less rights than all the Muslims, no matter if they were ethnically Turks or not. The ideas of the nation-state spread primarily in the Balkans were Christians were the majority. All these countries became independent in the 19th century. The Arabs and the other Muslims had fewer reasons to rebel since they had the same rights as the Turks and other Muslims. When Germany unified and took the role of Russia as the major threat to the Great Powers of Europe, the Ottoman Empire lost all of it's use for the British. The only reason that this empire was actually allowed to exists until 1922 was to contain the Russian expansionism in the Mediterranean. From the moment Russia became a secondary threat, the future of the Ottomans was sealed.
2:07 - “or C.U.P.” Wow, wow, wow, calm down, just… ya know what, no questions asked… But jokes aside a great, easy-to-understand, and fun informational video. Keep up the great work! :D
Osman's dream from Caroline Finkel is a good book on the overview of the whole empire timeline but it was outdated in several aspects which are not unexpected as more studies have been published since the book publication. One of to date book on the overview of the empire late period is The Cambridge History of Turkey Volume 4. Turkey in the Modern World.
The fact that Constantinople was given back Turkey is profound to me. A historically greek/roman city and the capital of western civilization for a thousand years willingly handed back to the turks instead of given to greece.
I guess back then, Turks were ready to go to war again even after the independence war. Mustafa Kemal and his companions already drew the national borders for the R. of Turkey (which is called Misak-i Milli / National Oath) Threcountry was totally exhausted after the war but they stood still on the talks and never stepped back. One of my countrymen can put a light better to this topic but afaik, the talks in Lausanne were faltered at a point and Turks started to get ready for the war again. After that, the allies stepped back and accepted the terms.
They wouldn't give it to Greece, because if they did Greece would have been a superpower! They wanted to keep Constantinople as a neutral place amongst Western Europe and of course away from Russia.
Wrong. The main reason it was GIVEN to the Turks was because of Russian/British/French distrust of each other. Particularly France and Britain did not want Russia to take it or have influence in the Mediterranean and the Russians felt the same about the westerners. Having one side gain influence in the bosphorous would have meant war amongst each other and so they decided to agree to let the Turks have it and keep it "neutral". Make no mistake, if either Russia or the west wanted to occupy it, possibly given it to Greece and control it through Greece or outright annex it at the time, they could have. But it wasn't as important anymore since the discovery of other routes and the Americas and wasn't worth the effort or going to war over. But Russia especially could have taken it easily but that would have meant more war with the west.
There is nothing that the Turks should be ashamed or sad about. They built one of the greatest and longest empires in the world, but this is how things go ... Rise and growth, stability, prosperity, then stagnation, sooner or later fall. This thing would have happened. This is the nature of things, but what they should be proud of is the great legacy they left for human civilization.
I wouldnt call it a "great" legacy for human civilization. The Ottoman Empire focused mainly on war and the taxation of the people it occupied. Do you know what that Empire built in the places it conquered? Mosques and prisons. Thats it. Maybe a few hamams (Turkish public baths) here and there too but mainly Mosques and prisons. And from those Mosques, many of them were just converted Churches. The food is good though, although its not certain which ones were really theirs and which were just adopted from local cuisines like Arabic, Byzantine, Persian etc.
Although little mentioned in the video, it was the betrayal of the Arabs that dealt the biggest blow to the Ottoman Empire. I have not harbored anger at any nation we fought in or before the WW1, but the Arab world is still paying the price for their betrayal.

Good and brief video, nevertheless there is ONE BIG MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDING: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's war was NOT the "War of Independence"! Turkey was never a colony or under the rule of any foreign power. It was the WAR OF LIBERATION from allied occupation. So Ataturk liberated the state of Turkey from an illegitimate foreign occupation. Thats why the correct terminology must be Liberation over Independence. I suggest contacting to Turkish academics or reading some informative articles before proceeding to create such good video. Good content nevertheless.

@Ghost Ghost He formed the Grand National Assembly and thus a functional government.

He was opposed to the Young Turks and a long enemy of Enver Pasha and the CUP. He called them murderous cruel idiots in 1926. He was responsible for the Ottoman State dissolving, but the Ottomans were a sick disgusting dead empire that willingly surrendered to the Allies. He replaced it with a free, democratic and fair republic. Kressenstein, Falkenhayn and Cemal Pasha lost in the Syrian Front. Kemal came and won at the Battle of Aleppo successfully halting British Advances.

At the beginning of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was victorious. It won in Gallipoli, Gaza and Kut al-Amara. And invaded Egypt and the Caucasus. But after the outbreak of the Arab Revolution, things changed. Half of the Ottoman forces were occupied, leading to the Ottoman Empire's eventual defeat.
@B Whit he just noted that! The reason for those victories was because of the Arab revolt. Siege of Jerusalem for example would had been won by the Turks if the Arabs wouldn’t had betrayed them
@B Whit Arabs revolted because they were provoked by their British masters, Brits sweet tongue charmed Arabs so they revolted and allied with UK. We were fighting against thousands of Arabs as we were also fighting against UK to defend our lands in Middle East.. its not a lie, thats how UK won in Middle East. Still we stopped their advance at Qut-ul Amare, we didn't let them invade Istanbul by winning Battle Of Gallipoli, which was one of the most bloodiest battle in WW1, its also known as being one of the battle which ''melee fight'' was heavily involved, altough Brits had higher technology compared to us, nor their technology and their body strenght saved them from being crushed, our technology wasn't big as their so we kicked them out with our arm's strenght so we actually blocked UK to reach their causes. However when our allies lost the war, we also lost it since we weren't able to fight against almost all of the world by ourselves lmao.
And ANZACS were just puppets tho, they got humiliated at Battle Of Gallipoli.. still they should be thankful to us cause of having that Battle against us. Cause after Gallipoli, Australians relaized they were used by UK and they should stand as a one nation, not as slave for UK.

If Suleiman didn’t killed Mustafa, it could have last a little longer.
This is an amateurish and fairytale comment
There is something good in everything. How do you know that the sultans after Mustafa would’ve been great? I mean Selim the second was a son of Suleiman the Magnificent, the best sultan. Yet he turned out to be one of the worst sultans. So there is no guarantee that Mustafa’s descendants would’ve have been just as good as Mustafa. Some great sultans came in history and were the descendants of Selim the second so maybe the empire wouldn’t have lasted as long as it had if Mustafa had become sultan.

Their fate was sealed long before the Balkan Wars with the ideas of the ''nation-state'' that were promoted during the French Revolution. The Ottoman Empire was a religious state. That meant that all Muslims had the same rights no matter where they were from. Thus if you were a Christian, even if you were an ethnically Turk Christian, you still had less rights than all the Muslims, no matter if they were ethnically Turks or not.
The ideas of the nation-state spread primarily in the Balkans were Christians were the majority. All these countries became independent in the 19th century. The Arabs and the other Muslims had fewer reasons to rebel since they had the same rights as the Turks and other Muslims.
When Germany unified and took the role of Russia as the major threat to the Great Powers of Europe, the Ottoman Empire lost all of it's use for the British. The only reason that this empire was actually allowed to exists until 1922 was to contain the Russian expansionism in the Mediterranean. From the moment Russia became a secondary threat, the future of the Ottomans was sealed.

Osman's dream from Caroline Finkel is a good book on the overview of the whole empire timeline but it was outdated in several aspects which are not unexpected as more studies have been published since the book publication.

Turkey in modern world has a shit economy...
The fact that Constantinople was given back Turkey is profound to me. A historically greek/roman city and the capital of western civilization for a thousand years willingly handed back to the turks instead of given to greece.
I guess back then, Turks were ready to go to war again even after the independence war. Mustafa Kemal and his companions already drew the national borders for the R. of Turkey (which is called Misak-i Milli / National Oath) Threcountry was totally exhausted after the war but they stood still on the talks and never stepped back. One of my countrymen can put a light better to this topic but afaik, the talks in Lausanne were faltered at a point and Turks started to get ready for the war again. After that, the allies stepped back and accepted the terms.
It was not given. They just couldnt take it by force.
@@nazeemsultan123 they had already taken it by force. look up occupation of Constantinople 1918
They wouldn't give it to Greece, because if they did Greece would have been a superpower! They wanted to keep Constantinople as a neutral place amongst Western Europe and of course away from Russia.
Wrong. The main reason it was GIVEN to the Turks was because of Russian/British/French distrust of each other. Particularly France and Britain did not want Russia to take it or have influence in the Mediterranean and the Russians felt the same about the westerners. Having one side gain influence in the bosphorous would have meant war amongst each other and so they decided to agree to let the Turks have it and keep it "neutral".
Make no mistake, if either Russia or the west wanted to occupy it, possibly given it to Greece and control it through Greece or outright annex it at the time, they could have. But it wasn't as important anymore since the discovery of other routes and the Americas and wasn't worth the effort or going to war over. But Russia especially could have taken it easily but that would have meant more war with the west.

There is nothing that the Turks should be ashamed or sad about. They built one of the greatest and longest empires in the world, but this is how things go ... Rise and growth, stability, prosperity, then stagnation, sooner or later fall. This thing would have happened. This is the nature of things, but what they should be proud of is the great legacy they left for human civilization.

@@NewsRedial they'll deny it till rhe day they die, it's pathetic and disgusting
I wouldnt call it a "great" legacy for human civilization. The Ottoman Empire focused mainly on war and the taxation of the people it occupied. Do you know what that Empire built in the places it conquered? Mosques and prisons. Thats it. Maybe a few hamams (Turkish public baths) here and there too but mainly Mosques and prisons. And from those Mosques, many of them were just converted Churches.

Good and brief video, nevertheless there is ONE BIG MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDING: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's war was NOT the "War of Independence"! Turkey was never a colony or under the rule of any foreign power. It was the WAR OF LIBERATION from allied occupation. So Ataturk liberated the state of Turkey from an illegitimate foreign occupation. Thats why the correct terminology must be Liberation over Independence. I suggest contacting to Turkish academics or reading some informative articles before proceeding to create such good video. Good content nevertheless.
@Ghost Ghost says who? "Ghost ghost"? Why don't you go back to your little shadow and hide yourself? Why bother commenting? You're a "ghost" and good ghosts are invisible
@Ghost Ghost Ah yes the sound of 0 education and research.
@Ghost Ghost He formed the Grand National Assembly and thus a functional government. He founded new Turkish Army and formed a General Staff and thus allowed a organised force to fight and liberate Turkey. He successfully commanded decisive battles such as Dumlupinar and won the war.
He was opposed to the Young Turks and a long enemy of Enver Pasha and the CUP. He called them murderous cruel idiots in 1926.
He was responsible for the Ottoman State dissolving, but the Ottomans were a sick disgusting dead empire that willingly surrendered to the Allies. He replaced it with a free, democratic and fair republic.
Kressenstein, Falkenhayn and Cemal Pasha lost in the Syrian Front. Kemal came and won at the Battle of Aleppo successfully halting British Advances.

Ataturk: umm... I am coming to reclaim the lands you occupied in 10 years, in 3 years
Thanks for great video!
Ottoman Empire: Wait, when did you stop liking me?
Balkan States: We never liked you

The loss of balkan territories did hurt the ottomans bureaucrats more it did when they lost all other territories because the ruling elite overwelmingly where from the balkans.
The founders of the republic also originated from the Balkans.
@@turkishemir5735 you just destroyed history
@@valery2711 We call them White turks
@@turkishemir5735 well that's just wrong is so many ways as Turks is ethnicity in itself not a religion ! PLZ Stop Destroying History (JK) :D it's amazing to see that at least half of the Elite Rulers to Modern Ottoman Empire are from Balkans while the people who actually built the empire are not there anymore that gives you alot about the flexibility this empire had and how it lasted 600 years many would argue about it's expansions but it's the only thing that gave this empire another 200 years it was gonna end 2 Centuries if it weren't for Balkan nationalities saving it in all fronts Economically & Military and in turn heavily rewarded and were at the top of the empire .. it's one of the very few empires which favored Meritocracy in the hierarchal system above else excluding the last 100 years ( with the brief period of Sultan Abdelhamid II ).
Thanks. You make history fun to learn.
What an honor. No one else in the world has fought and survived so many nations at the same time. God is with us.
France fought 8 countries at the same time in napoleon time. Still the ottomans empire was great.

It’s a shame that Greece didn’t take control of Constantinople. It was their city to begin with, they should have taken it back.

Well, now you know how the Palestinians feel.
The Ottomans began to fall since the independence of Greece and the Egyptian army coup against them

Excellent
Lovely videos! Greetings from Greece!
@knowledgia
Totally skipped the Armenia genocide bud , just shows how much history you really know
lol he did what he actually could. the video isn't about the genocide its about the fall of Ottoman Empire. One would probably never mention the genocides while talking about the "fall of empire(s)", yet he didnt miss that. What should a turkish guy say? "Oh nooo he clearly missed the part that armenians massacred the Turksss so mucchhhh". Anyway, I made your nerves go crazy already so I disappear...
