Great work! The history of the Ottoman Empire is a fascinating tapestry of ambition, cultural fusion, and eventual decline, illustrates the complexities of governance, military strategy, and cultural assimilation. The empire's legacy is particularly poignant in how it shaped modern Turkey.
The decline of the Ottoman Empire is very important for setting the geopolitical stage in the levant in the 20th century. The British Mandate of Palestine after WWI preceded the nation of Israel in 1948 and the troubles now in Gaza since stem from the promises of Lawrence of Arabia to Palestinians quickly broken by Lord Balfour.
Indeed. Very accurate statement. This once was a part of history that got skipped over in secondary school history education (at least in my country.). That was a big mistake.
So bad we don't learn any of this in high school here in my boring country! The syllabus sucks like hell, is inaccurate and hardly highlights significant global events and issues. That's why as a fifteen year old interested in history, I'm thinking of leaving this impoverished nation (Malawi) and emigrating to the United States for tertiary education and to fulfill my career.

Good analogy and summary but I'd like to mention that Turks were never colonized by the west mate. Right after the defeat of the Ottomans in WWI, the Turks under the leadership of Ataturk refused the humiliating terms dictated on them by the treaty of Sevres and started the war of liberation which resulted in victory and led the way to the establishment of the current modern Turkiye.
The reason for the turmoil in the early 15th Century was Timur The Lame,who very nearly destroyed The Ottoman Empire before it got off the ground What saved it was Timur's sudden death at 35.

There were 13 Ottoman-Russian wars. It's impossible to explain it all in 20 minutes. For example, Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. It is impossible to explain in a few minutes.
You're forgetting why the Selijuk Empire ultimately collapsed: The invasion of the Mongols. With the defeat of the Selijuks by the Mongols,the Selijuk state in Anatolia broke down into several smaller states/principalities,one of them eventually becoming the Ottoman Empire. Had the Byzantine Empire been stronger and more competent, they could've taken advantage of the Selijuk disarray in Anatolia and regained control
I still don't understand why only the Selijuk in Anatolia spoke Turkic, the narration of this video even says that after taking over Persia, the Selijuk adopted their language ...
@@zy9662 No, Turks never abandon their language wherever they go. You can see it in Mamluk, Mughal etc. dynasties too. Their subject can speak their native language, but the Khans or later Sultans speak Turkish along with the language of that land.
@@Runo1923 so why they don't speak Turkish in Syria, northern Iran and Iraq?, if those regions were similarly conquered by the Turks even before Anatolia. If you check the DNA of modern Greeks and Turks is very similar, as if the Turkish are ethnic Anatolians that happened to change their language from Greek to Turkish
@@zy9662 First of all, Greeks was not that common in Anatolia. There were already many different ancient people. Greeks came from modern-day Greece and colonized mostly the coastline cities. Second, the similarity btw DNAs is the result of population exchange after the WW1 from both sides. Greeks in Anatolia and Turks in Greece exchanged. After living centuries together, of course a genetic bond occurred. Finally, Turkic people in Syria and Iraq are called Turkmen and they can still use many old Turkish words. But unfortunately the nation state age began and familiarized every ethnic group outside their majority population to adopt the new rules. The things I said above were about before these changes in world politics.
@@Runo1923 OK even if Greek was not common in anatolia, there were other languages before the turks arrived. So why of all places where turks (and later the Ottomans) conquered in the middle east only in Anatolia they speak Turkish...
The Ottoman empire, was so beautiful architecture, the gardens , the markets, constanaple. They even kept their own language. Thank you for so much info into a short time. Such a wonderful historical experience. Please consider making more docs on the Ottoman Empire. ❤😊 7:357:377:38
Ottoman Empire’s lands in Europe and Africa were bigger than its territories in the middle east. Therefore Ottoman Empire was not a middle east empire. Also the origin of Ottomans was not from middle east. It was from middle Asia, Caucasia… Nothing to do with middle east…
8:35 although the main religion in the Ottoman Empire was Islam, ottomans didn’t force anybody to covert to Islam and gave everyone freedom to practice their religion.This is false. You can also see it portrayed in many Turkish dramas that are made about the Ottoman Empire and Turkish history, that religion was never forced upon anyone.
My favorite revision of history is European Jews saying that Muslims exiled them and they ended up in Europe when really they converted to Judaism while in Europe and was protected by Muslims against European Christian’s who were out to murder them.
This video on the history of the Ottoman Empire is well narrated. Your channel which I follow is an emerging channel on UA-cam, but with support from viewers like me and creation of such nice well-explained videos, This is History will surely rise and become a great channel on UA-cam. Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for summarizing The Ottoman Empire, which was always a weak link in my education, although very important. I hope that you shall create a video on The German Empire, which will be much more tricky than with the other empires. Sometimes it looks to me that the Germans colonized the USA (instead of emigrating there) in the 19th century, which may be the tricky card of their imperial power ...
Thank God we had a wonderful leader like Ataturk. saved us from the brink of disintegration and exploitation. He was a courageous, visionary and intelligent leader. He gave us the human rights that most countries had to fight for, on a silver platter. He gave us the right to vote and be elected, equality, justice... everything. I wish he had lived longer, our country still needs him.
Ataturk was a crypto jew of Greek ancestry who hated Turkey as it really was and was a Francophile who touched children just like french philosophers. He continued genocide against kurds and came from the same faction as those who committed genocide against the Armenians. He followed barbaric nationalism and was good only as a general. He didn’t modernise anything, apart from committing cultural suicide which still has unfortunate consequences to this day. The ottomans had a parliament much before Ataturk. He is complicit in genocide and should not be worshipped for his only good feat which was saving turkiye from invaders.
One thing not mentioned here is that the Ottomans did not “colonize”, enslave, or even fight the civilian populace of the countries they invaded. There was a “jizya” tax of 2%, which was a fee for protection as non-Muslims were not required to serve in the military (unless converted as children to become Janissaries). Through the Millet system, Christians were judged by Christian law/court systems, and Jews were judged by their own law and court systems.
The Ottoman empire ran extensive slave markets & sponsored many slave raids across the Mediterranean & African continent. The empire also colonise its subjects within its sphere of influence, the reason they never colonised elsewhere was simply due to them being out competed by rival European empires. However you are correct about the taxes. Non-Muslims ended up becoming a sustainable part of the empire's income which was used to maintain both the state & military expenditures. When the European sections of the empire broke off, it created a large financial blackhole which necessitated the need for political & economic modernization.
Quran 9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture,1 until they pay the tax,2 willingly submitting, fully humbled. Islam tells Muslims to fight disbelievers and the context behind the verse is so that the Muslims can get money.
@@lukesullivan9344 There’s a difference between the two. The Quran is telling to fight because of money and this is a command for Muslims for all time not just at that time. In the Bible specifically the Old Testament, God told the Israelites to fight the nations around them because they were practicing evil, not simply because they were non believers. Duet. 9:3-5 Gotta do better research than that not just say what everybody else says. Killing is definitely not the point of Christianity idk where you get that from lol and you don’t have to be a Christian to know that.

History documentaries often explore the Ottoman Empire, founded in 1299 by Osman I and lasting until 1922. At its peak, under the rule of Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the empire became a dominant global power, stretching across Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by Mehmed II marked a significant turning point, ending the Byzantine Empire and establishing Istanbul as the Ottoman capital. Documentaries frequently delve into the empire’s rich cultural and architectural contributions, military conquests, and complex administrative systems that left an enduring legacy on the regions it ruled.
@android175 Words convey a meaning and understanding. If when I speak of something. You understand what I am saying referring to. That's what it becomes and is. Maybe you can make a push for the global conscience of the "accurate" name.
@@Bustaperizm the accurate name is what they called themselves. Everything else is an artificial label. You may know what it means, but its a corrupted image of the real historical name.
@RobespierreThePoof that's not true. He is right. It's a made up term to cover the fact that the Romans were defeated. It sounds better to say the Byzantine empire was defeated. All it is, is historical revisionism and has no truth in it
It's absurd to call the Ottoman Empire religiously tolerant when your only other examples are Christianity and Judaism. They along with Islam are just sects of the same Abrahamic tradition. The Circassians and Ossetians and I'm sure many more examples were pushed into Abrahamism by the Ottomans.
Well they were going to be pushed by the ottoman influence or the Russian encroachment which lead to a reasonable genocide of the circassians in the Caucasus
It was the empire you could see and where the most freedom and religious freedom was enjoyed. When Fatih conquered Istanbul, he founded the first Armenian orthodox church. Dozens of churches were built in the Ottoman Empire. He embraced the Jews. He embraced all nations. Otherwise, the Ottomans did not try to Turkify the people under the Seljuk rule for 600 years and 400 years. And in their time there was peace in the orthoeast, except for minor incidents. Until British agents provoked different ethnic groups because of oil.
@@bir_cumlereligious freedom where?from what i know at least in balkans at the time,they weren’t really good towards Christians,and destroyed churches?

As the 15th-century palace historian Aşıkpaşazade mentions in the *Menâkıb-ı Âli-i Osman* (The Story of the House of Osman), the dynasty is traced back to Oğuz Khan, the mythical Turkish ruler.
The Ottoman Empire, founded in 1299 by the visionary Osman I, rose from a small principality to dominate three continents. With the glorious conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottomans transformed it into Istanbul, the heart of an empire that led the world in military might, cultural brilliance, and religious tolerance. Under the leadership of Suleiman the Magnificent, the empire reached its zenith, embodying strength, unity, and honor. Though the empire faced challenges in later centuries, its legacy endures, and from its ashes, the proud Republic of Turkey was born in 1923, continuing the spirit of Ottoman greatness.
It was. The Ottoman sultan called himself "Sultan al Rum". Rum means Rome. So they saw themselves as the continuation of that. People from Turkey were called "Rumi" (from Rome) like the famous sufi poet Rumi. But the west only saw them as a muslim empire
A different dynasty. A different language. A conquest. A different religion. A major historical shift, in essence. But historians do discuss and research the ways in which the Ottomans did, partly, continue to carry on elements of the Eastern Roman Empire. It's also important to acknowledge that the Greek nation and, in some ways, the Bulgarians can claim to be heirs to that tradition. Furthermore, Moscow soon claimed to be the real inheritors of "Rome" So .. yes. Ottoman. That's the accepted historical term in English. Historians try to avoid biasing or explicitly political terminology, at least when possible.
The representation of the Ottoman Empire map is innacurate. The Valachia & Moldova were NEVER part of the empire (that is a big chunk of land north of Danube River, west of the Black Sea. The 2 Romanian contries were NEVER lead by a Pasha. They paied Haraci, but they were not under islamic legislation. Also their rullers constantly seeked aid to fight the Ottomans, from their Christian neighbours. Suleiman the Magnifiscent never conquered Moldavia and Valachia. I wonder how many other errors are squised into the narative. I would have enjoyed a more neuthral tone of the narator, instead of the open admiration to an oppressive force that held 1/2 of Europe under threat, especially in the first part of the clip.
Who else is here to understand the history of how Israel became what it is today? So from my understanding, Palestine was an Ottoman empire which then became affiliated with Germany after the Ottoman's decided to join forces with them during WW1. They lost control after Britain and other countries defeated Germany and its allies- leaving Palestine under control of Great Britain.
Please dont try to understand history from videos, whose main intent is to get clout. Instead, read academic or encyclopedic sources which are very common thanks to the internet. Palestine was under Ottoman dominion, and Arabs sided with the Allied forces against the Ottoman Turks, and Brits betrayed the arabs after defeating the Axis powers in WW1
Genesis 12:1. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring [or seed] I will give this land." - Exodus 5:22 6:12 Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’” Israel was given by God to the jewish people thousands of years ago. Before the existence of Palestine. Who are you to say what God can do. Until you agree with God about isreal belonging to the jewish people. God will never forgive any of your sins for undermining his authority and position
The fall of Constantinople of Byzantine Emperor and the invent of Ottoman Empire is the start of European Traders expansion to India, which resulting the Portuguese Trade start at India from 1498 and after that 1608 East India Company who initially start to trade but they proved themselves in future the biggest imperial trading Company of world, not only that they become most powerful largest colonial rule of world. This emerging power of colonial rule is the reason why ottoman empire declined. The British imperial power, French imperial power, dutch imperial power, Portuguese imperial power and the rest of all imperial powers of colonial rule are emerging their power and started World War.
The Triple Entente was formed through three agreements: Franco-Russian Alliance: Formed in 1894 Entente Cordiale: Formed in 1904 between France and Britain Anglo-Russian Entente: Formed in 1907 The Triple Entente was a response to the Triple Alliance, which was formed between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.

@@zy9662 First of all, Greeks was not that common in Anatolia. There were already many different ancient people. Greeks came from modern-day Greece and colonized mostly the coastline cities. Second, the similarity btw DNAs is the result of population exchange after the WW1 from both sides. Greeks in Anatolia and Turks in Greece exchanged. After living centuries together, of course a genetic bond occurred. Finally, Turkic people in Syria and Iraq are called Turkmen and they can still use many old Turkish words. But unfortunately the nation state age began and familiarized every ethnic group outside their majority population to adopt the new rules. The things I said above were about before these changes in world politics.
@@Runo1923 OK even if Greek was not common in anatolia, there were other languages before the turks arrived. So why of all places where turks (and later the Ottomans) conquered in the middle east only in Anatolia they speak Turkish...
The Ottoman empire, was so beautiful architecture, the gardens , the markets, constanaple. They even kept their own language. Thank you for so much info into a short time. Such a wonderful historical experience. Please consider making more docs on the Ottoman Empire. ❤😊 7:35 7:37 7:38
There is so much more of the Ottomans before Osman.
G work
Great video.
great video
Amazing documentary!
Ottoman Empire’s lands in Europe and Africa were bigger than its territories in the middle east. Therefore Ottoman Empire was not a middle east empire. Also the origin of Ottomans was not from middle east. It was from middle Asia, Caucasia… Nothing to do with middle east…
Well constantinople was there capital which is like a bridge between Asia and Europe
8:35 although the main religion in the Ottoman Empire was Islam, ottomans didn’t force anybody to covert to Islam and gave everyone freedom to practice their religion.This is false. You can also see it portrayed in many Turkish dramas that are made about the Ottoman Empire and Turkish history, that religion was never forced upon anyone.
really nice vid. suddenly I get a load more history. thanks
Great synopsis, thanks for the history lesson.
I really recommend looking into historical maps before making these videos
My favorite revision of history is European Jews saying that Muslims exiled them and they ended up in Europe when really they converted to Judaism while in Europe and was protected by Muslims against European Christian’s who were out to murder them.
Correct. I have Sephardic ancestry. The Ottoman empire welcomed the Jews who were kicked out of Spain. Fact.
A video about the history of the Jasudowicz family would be awesome since there isnt much information about them

Oh god, the background music is so beautiful. Does anyone know whats the name or where to find it?
you can find similar musics by searching for 'Ottoman Musics, Saray Müzikleri, Ud Taksimi, Tanbur Taksimi, Ney Dinletisi' etc.
I’m in turkey. That’s why I’m watching this. FACINATING VIDEO!!
This video on the history of the Ottoman Empire is well narrated. Your channel which I follow is an emerging channel on UA-cam, but with support from viewers like me and creation of such nice well-explained videos, This is History will surely rise and become a great channel on UA-cam. Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for summarizing The Ottoman Empire, which was always a weak link in my education, although very important. I hope that you shall create a video on The German Empire, which will be much more tricky than with the other empires. Sometimes it looks to me that the Germans colonized the USA (instead of emigrating there) in the 19th century, which may be the tricky card of their imperial power ...

This was excellent. Well-told.

Thank God we had a wonderful leader like Ataturk. saved us from the brink of disintegration and exploitation. He was a courageous, visionary and intelligent leader. He gave us the human rights that most countries had to fight for, on a silver platter. He gave us the right to vote and be elected, equality, justice... everything. I wish he had lived longer, our country still needs him.
Ataturk was a crypto jew of Greek ancestry who hated Turkey as it really was and was a Francophile who touched children just like french philosophers. He continued genocide against kurds and came from the same faction as those who committed genocide against the Armenians. He followed barbaric nationalism and was good only as a general. He didn’t modernise anything, apart from committing cultural suicide which still has unfortunate consequences to this day. The ottomans had a parliament much before Ataturk. He is complicit in genocide and should not be worshipped for his only good feat which was saving turkiye from invaders.
😂 you missed the point of the video.
Brilliant presentation
One thing not mentioned here is that the Ottomans did not “colonize”, enslave, or even fight the civilian populace of the countries they invaded. There was a “jizya” tax of 2%, which was a fee for protection as non-Muslims were not required to serve in the military (unless converted as children to become Janissaries). Through the Millet system, Christians were judged by Christian law/court systems, and Jews were judged by their own law and court systems.
The Ottoman empire ran extensive slave markets & sponsored many slave raids across the Mediterranean & African continent. The empire also colonise its subjects within its sphere of influence, the reason they never colonised elsewhere was simply due to them being out competed by rival European empires.
However you are correct about the taxes. Non-Muslims ended up becoming a sustainable part of the empire's income which was used to maintain both the state & military expenditures. When the European sections of the empire broke off, it created a large financial blackhole which necessitated the need for political & economic modernization.
Even the ottomans knew the European man was a better fighter then the rest of their diverse populations.
Elite janissaries.
Quran 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture,1 until they pay the tax,2 willingly submitting, fully humbled.
Islam tells Muslims to fight disbelievers and the context behind the verse is so that the Muslims can get money.
@@SUPERDUPER_WingalingChristianity also has verses about fighting non-believers. That’s kind of the point of religion lol
@@lukesullivan9344 There’s a difference between the two. The Quran is telling to fight because of money and this is a command for Muslims for all time not just at that time. In the Bible specifically the Old Testament, God told the Israelites to fight the nations around them because they were practicing evil, not simply because they were non believers. Duet. 9:3-5 Gotta do better research than that not just say what everybody else says. Killing is definitely not the point of Christianity idk where you get that from lol and you don’t have to be a Christian to know that.
Enjoyed the video, however one point of criticism I’ll give is you didn’t mention Cyprus
Bugün İsrail ve Filistin olan yerlerden biz 600 sene boyunca barış ve kardeşlik içinde yaşadık ancak İngilizler geldi ve Osmanlıyı yıkıp orta Doğu'da savaşların bitmediği Bir yer olarak dizayn etti.. Filistin'e Özgürlük.. Türkiye'den selamlar
Great video. Love it.
History documentaries often explore the Ottoman Empire, founded in 1299 by Osman I and lasting until 1922. At its peak, under the rule of Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the empire became a dominant global power, stretching across Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by Mehmed II marked a significant turning point, ending the Byzantine Empire and establishing Istanbul as the Ottoman capital. Documentaries frequently delve into the empire’s rich cultural and architectural contributions, military conquests, and complex administrative systems that left an enduring legacy on the regions it ruled.
It was never called the Byzantium Empire. That was a title assigned by historians hundreds of years later.
Byzantium is a universally accepted historical term. So is "Byzantine Empire.".
@@RobespierreThePoofit’s accepted but not accurate
@android175 Words convey a meaning and understanding. If when I speak of something. You understand what I am saying referring to. That's what it becomes and is.
Maybe you can make a push for the global conscience of the "accurate" name.
@@Bustaperizm the accurate name is what they called themselves. Everything else is an artificial label. You may know what it means, but its a corrupted image of the real historical name.
@RobespierreThePoof that's not true. He is right. It's a made up term to cover the fact that the Romans were defeated. It sounds better to say the Byzantine empire was defeated. All it is, is historical revisionism and has no truth in it
Great presentation... 🎉
Mashaa Allah
Allah 🐖🐖🐖🐖
video great!
How much harder is it to say the eastern Roman Empire than to say Byzantine Empire?
Byzantium has been an accepted historical term for a very long time.
Why are you being so petty?
Unearthing the Past: A Journey Through History
I finally know why it's Istanbul and not Constantinople
I was completely agape when I realised Istanbul was formerly ( before the takeover by Memet )... astonishing history... Constantinople.....
It's absurd to call the Ottoman Empire religiously tolerant when your only other examples are Christianity and Judaism. They along with Islam are just sects of the same Abrahamic tradition. The Circassians and Ossetians and I'm sure many more examples were pushed into Abrahamism by the Ottomans.
Well they were going to be pushed by the ottoman influence or the Russian encroachment which lead to a reasonable genocide of the circassians in the Caucasus
There were barely any non-Abrahamic peoples in the Ottoman empire.
It was the empire you could see and where the most freedom and religious freedom was enjoyed. When Fatih conquered Istanbul, he founded the first Armenian orthodox church. Dozens of churches were built in the Ottoman Empire. He embraced the Jews. He embraced all nations. Otherwise, the Ottomans did not try to Turkify the people under the Seljuk rule for 600 years and 400 years. And in their time there was peace in the orthoeast, except for minor incidents. Until British agents provoked different ethnic groups because of oil.

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 21:00
i've learned so much in 20 minute of your video, the narrator , writing and image is perfectly done 🫵🏻🫡
so the Ottoman Empire just like Byzantine Empire and Latin Empire had end up surrounded by all sides in Constantinople as last city remaining?
Im here to check if the the Polish Hussars would be mentioned. Was not disappointed 😊
As the 15th-century palace historian Aşıkpaşazade mentions in the *Menâkıb-ı Âli-i Osman* (The Story of the House of Osman), the dynasty is traced back to Oğuz Khan, the mythical Turkish ruler.
Love it.
it is so good.

🇹🇷 Ze Power! 😎 The Rise!! 👑
The Ottoman Empire, founded in 1299 by the visionary Osman I, rose from a small principality to dominate three continents. With the glorious conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottomans transformed it into Istanbul, the heart of an empire that led the world in military might, cultural brilliance, and religious tolerance. Under the leadership of Suleiman the Magnificent, the empire reached its zenith, embodying strength, unity, and honor. Though the empire faced challenges in later centuries, its legacy endures, and from its ashes, the proud Republic of Turkey was born in 1923, continuing the spirit of Ottoman greatness.
Don't mention the sultans as warlords tho, If you name them war lords them name all of the others as war lord too.
We must remember at that time there was no such thing call Islam The ottoman practice Mohammadism not Islam
I LOVE the Ottoman Empire ❤❤❤❤
Trying to figure out why the Ottoman Empire was not called a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire?
It was. The Ottoman sultan called himself "Sultan al Rum". Rum means Rome. So they saw themselves as the continuation of that.
People from Turkey were called "Rumi" (from Rome) like the famous sufi poet Rumi.
But the west only saw them as a muslim empire
A different dynasty. A different language. A conquest. A different religion.
A major historical shift, in essence.
But historians do discuss and research the ways in which the Ottomans did, partly, continue to carry on elements of the Eastern Roman Empire.
It's also important to acknowledge that the Greek nation and, in some ways, the Bulgarians can claim to be heirs to that tradition. Furthermore, Moscow soon claimed to be the real inheritors of "Rome"
So .. yes. Ottoman. That's the accepted historical term in English. Historians try to avoid biasing or explicitly political terminology, at least when possible.
ottoman rulers were title hunters back than, they first started as Khagans, then became Sultans, followed by Padishah & caliph and Kaiser of Rome
Not as a continuation, but we can talk about "incorporating" it. Sultan Mehmet II introduces himself as both sultan and "kaiser of Rome."
The representation of the Ottoman Empire map is innacurate. The Valachia & Moldova were NEVER part of the empire (that is a big chunk of land north of Danube River, west of the Black Sea. The 2 Romanian contries were NEVER lead by a Pasha. They paied Haraci, but they were not under islamic legislation. Also their rullers constantly seeked aid to fight the Ottomans, from their Christian neighbours. Suleiman the Magnifiscent never conquered Moldavia and Valachia. I wonder how many other errors are squised into the narative.
I would have enjoyed a more neuthral tone of the narator, instead of the open admiration to an oppressive force that held 1/2 of Europe under threat, especially in the first part of the clip.
Who else is here to understand the history of how Israel became what it is today? So from my understanding, Palestine was an Ottoman empire which then became affiliated with Germany after the Ottoman's decided to join forces with them during WW1. They lost control after Britain and other countries defeated Germany and its allies- leaving Palestine under control of Great Britain.
it says in video palestine was safe under ottoman but what they did they rebellion with british and now they f*cked so they did themselves
Please dont try to understand history from videos, whose main intent is to get clout. Instead, read academic or encyclopedic sources which are very common thanks to the internet. Palestine was under Ottoman dominion, and Arabs sided with the Allied forces against the Ottoman Turks, and Brits betrayed the arabs after defeating the Axis powers in WW1
Genesis 12:1. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring [or seed] I will give this land." -
Exodus 5:22 6:12
Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”
Israel was given by God to the jewish people thousands of years ago. Before the existence of Palestine. Who are you to say what God can do. Until you agree with God about isreal belonging to the jewish people. God will never forgive any of your sins for undermining his authority and position

This ottoman is a little bit wrong. North african borders (libya) were bigger than that.
I mean straight lines never existed in borders back then so alot was wrong

The fall of Constantinople of Byzantine Emperor and the invent of Ottoman Empire is the start of European Traders expansion to India, which resulting the Portuguese Trade start at India from 1498 and after that 1608 East India Company who initially start to trade but they proved themselves in future the biggest imperial trading Company of world, not only that they become most powerful largest colonial rule of world. This emerging power of colonial rule is the reason why ottoman empire declined. The British imperial power, French imperial power, dutch imperial power, Portuguese imperial power and the rest of all imperial powers of colonial rule are emerging their power and started World War.
Not a word about portuguese wars against the turks
Because the Portuguese wars were a minor detail for the Ottomans, a secondary enemy that was not given much importance.
there is so much to include in this short documentary till you get to the Portuguese 'wars'.
Jeeez, if this was a movie it would get bad ratings because the story is too hard for the audience to follow 🤣
18:33 Italy were with the Entente not the Central Powers
The Triple Entente was formed through three agreements:
Franco-Russian Alliance: Formed in 1894
Entente Cordiale: Formed in 1904 between France and Britain
Anglo-Russian Entente: Formed in 1907
The Triple Entente was a response to the Triple Alliance, which was formed between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The Triple Entente was the core of the Allied Powers in World War I.
