Hi, Hungarian here, really liked the video. One correction: Budapest not existed as one city until 1873, Buda and Pest was separate cities. Keep up the good work though!
You're right. We Turks call the Buda part as ''Budin'' and also after Zapolja died with an infant heir the Hungary was officially annexed except for Erdel(Transylvania) in case of possible Habsburg attacks afterwards.
@@AbuzerKadayif A Hungarian historian here. All of Hungary wasn't annexed, only the "middle part" of it (it would be later called as "Conquered parts"). Half of Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmacia and a great chunk of West Hungary and most of Upper Hungary (today's Slovakia) remained in the "Hungarian Kingdom" under the Habsburg dynasty
@@csoki1998 yes I was referring to non-Habsburg territory as Kingdom of Hungary in the scope of Ottomans. Geographically speaking, all the territory of Hungary wasn't controlled by a single ruler throughout the history.
A ruler from Constantinople, that controlled the eastern part of the Mediteranian Sea, wants to conquer Western Europe, then didn't manage to do it because he had to fight the Persian's threats from the east, then went back to conquer the west again, and had a best friend that almost likely tried to seize power from the ruler......Guys, he is basically just a Turkic Islamic Emperor Justinian.
Yes the difference is Sulieman was more globally important like he conquered more lands and he himself was involved in campaigns. Sulieman conquered,infrastructure/military/economy/navy was flourishing etc. Sulieman was like Justinian but better.
Exactly Even during his time, Barbarossa conquered North Africa for the Ottomans, like Belisarius, which unfortunately was not mentioned in this video.

Pargalı İbrahim Pasha is not mentioned at all in the video. He is Suleiman's closest friend and someone who suddenly became grand vizier without having anything to do with being a vizier. Ibrahim Pasha was the commander of the Battle of Mohács and played a major role in winning the war in a short time. He reached such a level that he overshadowed even Sultan Suleiman. Thereupon, Sultan Suleiman had his best friend, Ibrahim Pasha, who could be called closer than a brother, strangled after a meal they had together in 1536. It would not be wrong to say that Solomon's conquests ended thereupon. Before the murder of Prince Mustafa, the murder of Pargalı İbrahim Pasha had already started to turn everything upside down.
Both killing are mistakes for the great sultan the one of his Grand Vizier a formidable tactician on the battlefield ( Ibrahim Pargali Pacha ) and the killing of his heir Mustafa which the Janissairies loved very much during the ottoman it was crazy the way father would kill a son or brother who killed a brother for the throne
@@krakatoa_8180wdym its crazy for an ottoman sultan to kill their relatives? 😅😅 Almost all sultans had their brothers strangled, it was literally written into law by Mehmed II.
The campaign also convinced Süleyman that large-scale operations of this kind could not secure more territory for him under the existing conditions of trans portation and warfare. He therefore agreed to a peace, mediated by Poland: Ferdi nand recognized the sultan as "father and suzerain." accepted the grand vezir as "brother" and equal in rank, and abandoned his claims to rule in Hungary other than those border areas that he had occupied since the original Ottoman conquest.

The Ottoman Empire was at it's Zenith while Suleiman The Magnificent ruled. I wonder how different history would've been had he not had his sone Mustafa killed?
Look at Selim Yavuz. He had the balls to take the throne by force! Thus, he proved to be a determined monarch to push borders towards Muslim lands. But Mustafa didn't have that courage to take the throne from his old fart father. Life puts everything at its best place. Obviously, Mustafa was a weak one since he failed to become a king!
Maybe Italy would have been conquer because he was keen on finishing what sultan Mehmet started and also Spain would have fallen has well he was the only son apart from sultan 4th son bayzeid could have finish what there father started bayzeid was war like and Mustafa was fierce like sulieman only those 2 could have keep the empire stronger but he kill them

I find it weird that the western expansion was motivated by christianity threatening the islamic religion they held. Suleyman was known to allow freedom of religion in the ottoman empire. I don’t think he said this in real life but a quote by him in Assassin’s Creed Revelations was «The world is a tapestry of many colours and patterns. A just leader would celebrate this, not seek to unravel it.» which sums up his real view on the topic. Edit: Albeit under the «millet system». I see now that religions other than Islam were tolerated but under certain restrictions, and in reality faced a lot of discrimination unfortunately.
They weren't discriminated, it was just the sharia law , the only *major* difference non muslims had from muslims within the empire was the jizya tax, which wasn't a huge tax keep in mind, it about similar to modern day state taxes in many countries, nothing unbearable. Though they were banned from certain areas, like jews were not allowed to own or buy land within the palestine region because they would basically do 1948 (formerly it was the aqsa mosque region because back then the whole area was just the "sham"). but christians and muslims were basically equal except the tax. yes there were smaller details like the fact non muslims were never buried in muslim graveyards. Also to clarify, he did not conquest the west because it was threatening only, but because they were harrasing muslims elsewhere such as in al andalus..or what _was_ the andalus, or the fact russians (they were called by other names but basically the same people) were going conquest after conquest against muslim empires elsewhere. This man was selfless, he didn't just care for his own empire, he would come to the aid of other muslims elsewhere outside his empire through immediately fighting the offenders, where it be the habsburgs, or the russians (back then they were called that...but they still existed).
There is a small mistake which is that algiers was an ottoman vassal Idk why lots of people hate including us into the ottoman territories even though Algiers didnt become fully independent until 1671 ( yes they were still an ottoman vassal but they were technically independent since there was no ottoman intervention in making decisions )

In this period most rulers and nobles still fought on the battlefields themselves but from the 17th-18th century they really were just standing faraway with thelescopes and giving orders. It was literally a game for them, rhey were very rarely killed and even if got captured they were ransomed, that is of course if they were fighting another european country and not some barbaric tribe on some colony.

We in the West are very fortunate that Suleiman's forces suffered many major defeats from Western forces including the Austrians, Portuguese and the Knights of Malta. Shortly after his death the Turkish navy was utterly annihilated at Lepanto by the forces of Venice, Genoa, the Knights of Malta, the Papacy and Spain. These heroic forces from Catholic Europe saved the West from becoming as repressive, violent, divided, unhappy and impoverished as the Islamic world is today. Suleiman and the Ottoman empire stood not for progress but for absolute regress.
His decisions regarding his family and close ones are a personal issue and has no bearing on his administrative capabilities. He was an ambitious ruler , A strong authoritarian who further strengthened ottoman dominance in the balkans and had his great rivals venice and the habsburgs on the backfoot. His conquest of crucial Hungarian towns and border fortresses would see unquestioned ottoman rule over these volatile regions over the next 150 years . Unfortunately, his successors would not follow up with his success making it seem all for nothing
Why people keep talk about selim in the comments.this video about Suleiman. His father doesn't conquer hungry,half of safavid, rhodes or expand all the way to yemen and indian ocean? There are a reason why European historian called him magnificent And Not his father 😂
I guess it’s because people think Sulieman was lucky as his father had built the empire massively but I agree with you Sulieman shouldn’t be shadowed by his father.
Because the Persian Empire was always known formally as the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire has always been known as the Ottoman Empire not Turkish Empire. That’s from where.
THE TURKS AND THE WEST from 11 days. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot." During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , understanding the Turks ‘ military organization , given the credit for the greatest empire since antiquity , became a major European preoccupation . Speake, J., n.d. Literature of travel and exploration. p.891. By the middle of the 16th century, the Turks arguably possessed the greatest empire in the world. A History of the Middle East Paperback - March 15, 2006 by Saul S. Friedman (Author) p.181
Thats just a Western hogwash to show theirselves as heroes, they always try to show Ottomans over 100.000 men against European forces. While the reality wasn't like that, Ottomans fought against Crusades all the time which bringt whole Europe together.
Source trust me bro, in ottoman sources it's couple thousend and most if them it's due to disease. Lmao if it's 100000 then the ottoman empire would have fall
By that time the Ottoman dynasty wasn't Turkic rather it was heavily European due to intermarriage! The Ottomans are Muslim European emperors, initially Greeks!
Yes, I am Turkish this is how I learned in high school: this is true, because Christian families could not coup the dynasty and take over the dynasty, so European women were chosen for marriage.

@Fun_Facts7212 not really, he is known as the law giver sure but made little to no effort in improving investments and reforms, he in his very long reign made the empire slow in its development and advancement. Thus in the long term it caused the empire to stop its cultural, administrative, scientific advancement thus opening the way for religious cults gaining power, the empire starting to decay in infastructure, education, commerce, tech and other areas for future sultans.
@@sirspamalot3 yes, Mehmet did revolutionise the ottomans but the main reason people dont like Suleiman is because he executed his more competent and ambitious sons. If Suleiman had died 15 years earlier. Everyone would've loved him. He lived long enough to see himself become the villain. But you can't deny that he conquered Hungary, yemen, Mesopotamia/iraq, libya, Algeria, Rhodes island and Belgrade

Though they were banned from certain areas, like jews were not allowed to own or buy land within the palestine region because they would basically do 1948 (formerly it was the aqsa mosque region because back then the whole area was just the "sham").
but christians and muslims were basically equal except the tax.
yes there were smaller details like the fact non muslims were never buried in muslim graveyards.
Also to clarify, he did not conquest the west because it was threatening only, but because they were harrasing muslims elsewhere such as in al andalus..or what _was_ the andalus, or the fact russians (they were called by other names but basically the same people) were going conquest after conquest against muslim empires elsewhere.
This man was selfless, he didn't just care for his own empire, he would come to the aid of other muslims elsewhere outside his empire through immediately fighting the offenders, where it be the habsburgs, or the russians (back then they were called that...but they still existed).

There is a small mistake which is that algiers was an ottoman vassal
Idk why lots of people hate including us into the ottoman territories even though Algiers didnt become fully independent until 1671 ( yes they were still an ottoman vassal but they were technically independent since there was no ottoman intervention in making decisions )
The ruling class were Turks so you were still subservient to the Ottomans thus you were never really independent until 1962 when you gained independence from France.

Still happening today
In this period most rulers and nobles still fought on the battlefields themselves but from the 17th-18th century they really were just standing faraway with thelescopes and giving orders. It was literally a game for them, rhey were very rarely killed and even if got captured they were ransomed, that is of course if they were fighting another european country and not some barbaric tribe on some colony.
New video suggestion; How local languages of Ancient Anatolia (Lydian, Lycian, Carian, Psidian, Sidetic, Phrygian, Isuarian, Galatian, Thracian etc) were start to extinct after Great Alexander’s conquest and in Roman Empire period?
The Turks were considered as the best warriors due to their horsemanship and skill in archery.
Kaushik Roy., n.d. Military Transition in Early Modern Asia, 1400-1750: Cavalry, Guns, Government and Ships (Bloomsbury Studies in Military History). p.24.
While there is much more than this to the Turks, it is true that Turks rank among history’s great empire-builders and rulers. Under the Ottomans they conquered vast territories in the Balkans and the Middle East and ruled for six hundred years.

*Suleman did something*
The video: this left a lasting legacy....
It's not well written
We can see that "lasting legacy" in film industry🤣
His borders more or less resembled the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th century.
We in the West are very fortunate that Suleiman's forces suffered many major defeats from Western forces including the Austrians, Portuguese and the Knights of Malta.
Shortly after his death the Turkish navy was utterly annihilated at Lepanto by the forces of Venice, Genoa, the Knights of Malta, the Papacy and Spain. These heroic forces from Catholic Europe saved the West from becoming as repressive, violent, divided, unhappy and impoverished as the Islamic world is today. Suleiman and the Ottoman empire stood not for progress but for absolute regress.
I have lived in many countries and economically life in Turkey is better than almost all the Balkan countries.
YOU CAN SAY THAT HE WAS MAGNIFICENT
Suleiman ... the ruler 📏 ♥️
Bro this video feels like it was written by an ai
His most impressive achievement was that his neck could support that enormous garlic that grew on his head.
Kafası ile çok ilgilisin.
Finally found something to make fun of huh?
good boy! You made a joke huh? So funny, your parents must be proud of you
But the important thing is that he had an onion on his head, which was the style at the time…
😂😂😂☠️☠️
His decisions regarding his family and close ones are a personal issue and has no bearing on his administrative capabilities. He was an ambitious ruler , A strong authoritarian who further strengthened ottoman dominance in the balkans and had his great rivals venice and the habsburgs on the backfoot. His conquest of crucial Hungarian towns and border fortresses would see unquestioned ottoman rule over these volatile regions over the next 150 years . Unfortunately, his successors would not follow up with his success making it seem all for nothing
Why people keep talk about selim in the comments.this video about Suleiman. His father doesn't conquer hungry,half of safavid, rhodes or expand all the way to yemen and indian ocean?
There are a reason why European historian called him magnificent
And Not his father 😂
I guess it’s because people think Sulieman was lucky as his father had built the empire massively but I agree with you Sulieman shouldn’t be shadowed by his father.
How did Suleiman create a world superpower?Very efficiently!

You write Persian for the Safavids, but you do not write Turks for the Ottoman Empire. From where?
Because the Persian Empire was always known formally as the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire has always been known as the Ottoman Empire not Turkish Empire. That’s from where.
@@hmjega Safavids did not call themselves Persians. The Ottoman Empire was always referred to as Turkey
THE TURKS AND THE WEST from 11 days. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot."
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , understanding the Turks ‘ military organization , given the credit for the greatest empire since antiquity , became a major European preoccupation .
Speake, J., n.d. Literature of travel and exploration. p.891.
By the middle of the 16th century, the Turks arguably possessed the greatest empire in the world.
A History of the Middle East Paperback - March 15, 2006 by Saul S. Friedman (Author) p.181
They said 100,000 Ottomans died at Rhodes and that the sultan said he would gladly sacrifice 100,000 more to win that tells you alot
Thats just a Western hogwash to show theirselves as heroes, they always try to show Ottomans over 100.000 men against European forces. While the reality wasn't like that, Ottomans fought against Crusades all the time which bringt whole Europe together.
it said that there was 25,000 deaths due to mostly disease that spread at that time but in ottoman sources it's way less then that.
Wtf what is the source for that?
Source trust me bro, in ottoman sources it's couple thousend and most if them it's due to disease. Lmao if it's 100000 then the ottoman empire would have fall
By that time the Ottoman dynasty wasn't Turkic rather it was heavily European due to intermarriage!
The Ottomans are Muslim European emperors, initially Greeks!
😂😂😂😂
@@mrtmutlu indeed ignorance is bliss!
This is a ridiculous comment, man. because they are all patriarchal societies. Genghis Khan's mother was Turkish but he is Mongolian.
Yes, I am Turkish this is how I learned in high school:
this is true, because Christian families could not coup the dynasty and take over the dynasty, so European women were chosen for marriage.
@@Elizabeth20-what you talking about :D ? you can check wikipedia, almost all Ottoman sultants wife's were European or Caucasian :D
Safavid not a persia
He obviously used good humour and reasoned argument, since Islam is religion is a religion of peace and never used the sword to expand its territory.
So intellectual that he destroyed the Corvinus library and plunged Hungary into the early Middle Ages again.
the Ottman never enter morocco morocco is there before Ottman start enter countries , so be clearl about what you say❤

Selim I the grim is the one who left Suleiman this massive empire.
And suleiman managed to maintain and expand it
And Suleiman failed to materialize the acquired resources by his ancestors, which was the beginning of ottoman downfall
@Fun_Facts7212 not really, he is known as the law giver sure but made little to no effort in improving investments and reforms, he in his very long reign made the empire slow in its development and advancement. Thus in the long term it caused the empire to stop its cultural, administrative, scientific advancement thus opening the way for religious cults gaining power, the empire starting to decay in infastructure, education, commerce, tech and other areas for future sultans.
@Fun_Facts7212 the only sultan that completely revolutionised and actually made the ottomans into an empire was Mehmet II
@@sirspamalot3 yes, Mehmet did revolutionise the ottomans but the main reason people dont like Suleiman is because he executed his more competent and ambitious sons. If Suleiman had died 15 years earlier. Everyone would've loved him. He lived long enough to see himself become the villain. But you can't deny that he conquered Hungary, yemen, Mesopotamia/iraq, libya, Algeria, Rhodes island and Belgrade
