Sounds like you did not go to school if you are saying what you said.
Similar conversions to Islam occurred in Bulgaria too, although in a much smaller scale. In fact, a small part of the Bulgarian Bogomils/Paulicians, who were considered heretics by the Orthodox church, embraced the Catholic fate in the 16th-17-th century. Even today there are two small municipalities with a predominant Catholic population - one in North Bulgaria (Belene) and one in South Bulgaria (Rakovski). As to the Muslim Bulgarians, they represent probably about 1% of the modern Bulgarian population. And last but not least, there were various attempts for re-Christianization of the Muslim Bulgarians but there was never a consistent state policy in this direction. What seems to have worked, was the atheist propaganda during the Communism, which affected all religious communities in Bulgaria.
@@marin8862 you mean 1/6 converts from the Bosnian Church... But well what about the immigrants you didnt mention them at all... but maybe there are more than 100 % ^^
I believe many Muslim Bulgarians had to take refuge in Turkey after Bulgaria's independence. They're called Pomaklar (Pomaks) in Turkey. Their numbers are between 300k and 600k.
Bosnians had probably accepted Islam due to a combination of factors. Obviously tolerance was one of them, but also many sources claim one of the tenets of the Bosnian church was that they refused to worship the cross, seeing it as bizarre that other Christians worshipped that which had killed Jesus (and some even debate on whether or not they believed Jesus was God or just a prophet of God). This is much closer to Islamic belief, so perhaps the change was not so radical for Bosnians.
"Obviously tolerance was a factor" The Ottoman Turks introduced a special tax on Christians in Bosnia. Roman Catholics were discriminated more compared to the Orthodox Christian who had the "Millet System" under the Ottoman Turkish rule. "many sources claim one of the tenets of the Bosnian church..." Actually that "Bosnian Church" ( or Bogomil sect) died out before the Ottoman Turks arrived. They were all converted by the Roman Catholic Franciscan monks in Bosnia on orders from the Pope ( Papal Bull still exists in the Vatican as evidence).
@@northernstar4811 And still,there are serbian monastery's all over Bosnia,Krajina,Lika and Herzegowina ,orthodox monastery's,that are almost 1000 years old...those were centers of education,politics and religion at that time.

@@northernstar4811 Those monastery's are much,much older than maps. They were demolished many times but foundations remains.

Fun fact: Bosnian church was revolved around having a humble life which lead to none churches being built. People prayed in their homes. Thats the reason why we have no remains of those structures from that period
The "Bosnian Church" has not existed for several centuries. The "church" most likely was the Bogomil sect ( from Bulgaria). The Papal Bull ( order) instructed the Roman Catholic Franciscan Monks in Bosnia to convert all the Bogomils (circa 10,000 members) which they did before the Ottoman Turkish invasion.
HAHAHAHA. How much can you lie about it. Bogumil "church" was outlawed and it was not a church but a cult. When you learn a difference between a cult that less than 1% of people in Bosnia followed and a church then writte a comment.
@@Vegeta-wc2sn Well there isn`t a single so called "Bosnian Church" building anywhere in Bosnia, plus that area was under the control of the Roman Catholic Church ( see the online map of the religious "Great Schism"-Encyclopaedia Britannica). As you should know the Roman Catholic Church never tolerated other churches on its territory. The fact is all the Bogomil sect were converted peacefully by the Franciscan monks before the invasion of the Ottoman Turks.
As far as I know Bosnians were mostly Bogumils/Bosnian Church Officially they said they are Catholics but in secret they practiced their own religion .
Nije baš ni naj tačniji jer ne navodi da je "Bosanska crkva" u srednjem veku bila Arijanska crkva (sledbenici popa Arija ili u Francuskoj poznati kao Katari) . Papaska inkvizicija ih je spaljivala na lomači u to vreme ,pa su spas našli u Bosni (to su uglavnom bili Normani po poreklu, danas ako radite DNK test haplogrupa,to je I2 haplogrupa koja je rasprostranjena širom bivše SFRJ). U Srbiji sledbenici popa Arija su nazivani Bogumili (po popu Bogumilu iz današnje Bugarske ) ili Babuni (u zakoniku Cara Dušana ih tako nazivaju po reci Babun u Makedoniji). Prelazak na islamsku veru nije bio dobrovoljan kao što se u videu izbegava da kaže. Turci su namerno bili naj svirepiji prema bogumilima (katari/ Arijevci...jedno te isto samo drugi nazivi) i prema "nemačkim riterima" koje je Car Dušan doveo i nastanio u okolini Skoplja (danas uglavnom njihovi naslednici žive na i oko Šarplanine - to sada znamo jer imaju R1b haplogrupu istu DNK kao i Nemci u Nemačkoj,a niko ne govori Nemački i većina je polu muslimani,polu pravoslavci ) . Na kraju videa nedostaje odrednica "zašto niko nije terao muslimane da se vrate u hrišćanstvo" ... Zato što je Bosna nakon oslobođenja od Turaka prvo pripala Austrougarskoj,ali su se sve vreme i muslimani i pravoslavci borili protiv Austrougarske,jer NISU DOZVOLILI da se grade škole na našem južnoslovenskom jeziku . U organizaciji "Mlada Bosna" su bili i pravoslavci i muslimani i katolici (i Gavrilo Princip 😊) . U kraljevinu SHS,Bosna je ušla kao deo Srbije (Kraljevina Srba,Hrvata i Slovenaca) . Ali ovo poslednje oni nije ni morao da stavi u video 😊 .
Bosnia is one of those few countries who have been around for a while, since the 9th century (and most probably even before that, pre Roman times if we count Bosnians the descendants of Illyrians), they have always been under occupation but they still manage to exist s thousand years later.
Yep even in the 90's. My city of Bihac was the last city to fall under the Ottoman occupation,50 years after the they captured whole of Bosnia. Also that city gave 5.Corps .. a military unit that was known for biggest and baddest battles in 90's war and gave many heroes and defended the city from a planed genocide. It defended occupied city for 3 years with homemade weapon and improvised water pipe guns. U should visit it one day. The whole Krajina region,western Bosnia is the part of the country that breeds finest of warriors. Even the uprising against Ottoman rule came from that part,city of Cazin,and it was successful. Cheers from a proud Bosniak 😀

While the Bosnian Church may have disappeared with time, its stance against both the Pope and the Patriarch of Constantinople will forever be remembered in the struggle for independence.
"While the Bosnian Church may have disappeared with time" That "church" hasn`t existed for several centuries. The Roman Catholic church (Franciscan Monks in Bosnia) coverted them all before the arrival of the Ottoman Turks.

What nation of Bosnia? Do you mean those that were brought from all over Ottoman empire or the natives? Natives mostly carry Serbian orthodox last names. There were so many migrations in Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia and back. After each rebellion, people would move to another ottoman province. The best part of the Bosnian saga is that even administrative lines changed over time. That means that parts of today's Croatia and Serbia were in Bosnia.
Ah, Pope and Hungary/Croatia consider bosnians as heretics is the main reason, 2nd is their slavic brothers serbians also comsider them as heretic, so when ottomans conquered Bosnia their people finally feel safe, not really safe but a way safer than under catholic rules
@@ammarhaziq919 They considered them Heretics because they had their own church, witch was different from classic christianity, I wouldn't agree they considered them heretics Serbia had pretty good relations with them tbf.
I live in Bosnia and this is literally what we learn about how Islam came to Bosnia as well. It's not much different really, except our teacher used to tell us that Bosnian church wasn't really similar to Catholic and Orthodox churches of the time. Apparently Bosnian church denied trinity, also did not pray towards a cross, and did not allow church hierarchy that was present in other churches. So like the way it was explained to me was: Bosnian church definitely stemmed from Christianity, but it had some major differences that made it qualify as heretics. Also they absolutely despised the practice of "indulgence", aka paying to the church so that they suffer less in hell- which was practiced in Christianity. Plus, Bosnians didn't really pray the way Christians did, there isn't any specific rituals that can be pointed out really. They also didn't care much about religion in the first place apparently.. According to what my professor said, the prayer was more of a "talking to God" type of thing? Along with all that, the constant pressure which you mentioned also made people of Bosnia "cold" towards Christianity. Considering also Islam had many similarities to the Bosnian church (at the time), with the "incentive to convert" rather than force, I think was enough to "soften" many Bosnians towards Islam. According to what I've also heard, Ottomans would kidnap non-Muslim kids for janissaries- but Muslim Bosnians would go on to join janissaries themselves very often. Like families would send their sons while kids to train with janissaries. I am a Muslim (my family really has entirely Montenegrian roots), and I have heard stories by my grandparents about their elders (there is a lot about my family that was written and told to others) going to Istanbul for either military education voluntarily, or just simply going to serve the army, or go get education. I'm not sure how correct all of it is, there isn't much to talk about when it comes to Bosnia as there isn't many records. P.S.: Watch out for the Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks in the comments trying to say ban Kulin or king Tvrtko was either of those. One of them is Bosnian bogumil, other Bosnian catholic. Go on and fight until your fingers fall off from typing.
I disagree with that. The Ottoman policy was divide and rule.They would Islamize certain regions of the Balkans like in Greece, Bosnia, Albania and Bulgaria to ensure that their vassals had control over the nomadic Christians. No Christian family willingly sent their sons to Constantinople. By that logic all the Uyghur muslims voluntarily gave their children to Chinese Maoists who took them to Beijing to become great officers.
@@personaldove wouldn't say that. Despite the popular opinion, Ottomans did renovate churches and built majority of 'hospitals' in Serbia, also treatment wasn't that bad in the beginning. Also let Serbs to continue practicing the GOC, although for a price, they did not try forcing anything.
@@lukababic5623 So how did Belgrade become a muslim majority city? And why were there always Serb revolts and two exoduses that led to the Great Serb Migration? Also, why did the Serbs of Bosnia flee to Croatia as refugees after the Ottomans conquered?

There is another point that should be considered in this subject. When Mehmed II conquered Bosnia in 1463 he gave them a speech in their language about their religious rights. This is pretty big for a local citizen when you think about it in those ages. A foreign "heathen" head of state conquers you and address you in your language about your rights. They still commemorate him today.
Doesn't have anything to do with that. Mehmed II spoke i think 5 languages fluently and one of the languages was Serbian. Anwers in Bosnia lays in Hungarian wish to conquer those lands for very long time, constant crusades against them as recognized from both denominations as heretics (check for Bogumils) and finally for the rulers of Bosnia who shifted to islam before the rest of the people.
@@bojanblagojevic5759 I am not saying this is the most important reason but ratger it should be mentioned in the video. It is not important when you think these times but it is a nice touch when you consider that ages.
@@muhammedaliisk4578 Yeah i understood. From that point of view yes. Definitely would be huge difference if you have a conquerer which speaks your language then some Hungarian who wants to impose his rules. Just wanted to point out that doesn't have anything to do with their transfer to Islam. At least not immediately. For example the last Bosnian king was killed by Mehmed II in person. He personally cut his head. Didn't mean anything to Bosnian king that Mehmed II was speaking Serbian in that moment. 😁

The real reason we converted to Islam was that Islam is a beautiful religion and very decent way of life so we fell in love with it.Turks are not here anymore,so we could go back to old religion,if we wished.But,we love our faith and are happy with it.We just wish the Serbs would leave us alone,otherwise we are alright.Anyone friendly is welcome any time.
Very accurate from a global point of view, but its a long story about bosnian church as some professors call they "Frist protestants in Europe". Bosnian church has stay againt the High taxes that church east and west had, also they belive that church has to be poor, because of that they built mainly small churchs of wood, and so on... Many interesting things!
Man i think in is not because of the church. Many muslims were slayed or forcebly converted to cristianity after fall of the Ottomans and rise of the independent Cristan states. And in that time muslims in Bosnia were saved by AH with their tolerance.
Balkan nations kept their languages and religions after centuries of Turkish rule despite that Greeks claim the opposite ironically Greeks were the ones who assimilated the native Anatolian peoples causing their extinctions
Its the difference between European style colonization started by the Greeks and the Romans where they essentially "cleanse" the lands they colonize from their natives and emigrate their own peoples to live their compared to the Islamic empires where religious tolerance is the basis of conquest. Its why its very rare to hear of witch hunts in Muslim nations (Not that it didn't happen but much rarer). Unfortunately, History also teaches us that ultimately the European style is the one that won out in the end. Evidence to that how the New World is basically an extension of European culture
I don't know if you know it, but after Alexander's conquest, Greek became lingua franca of Anatolia. In 197 BC Rome conquers Greece and after a while Anatolia. We see that Greek language in Anatolia remained even UNDER ROMAN RULE, just like in Sicily and the Levant until the Arab conquest. Anatolia was under Greek rule for about 130 years and under Roman for centuries. Despite that Greek language prevailed. Also, in Anatolia there were also large populations of Greeks since 12th century BC, who migrated there after the Bronze Age collapse. By the time of Alexander's conquest, Greeks were already one of the largest, if not the largest, population. For example, the kingdom of Pontus was ruled by Persian dynasty but the official language was Greek, just like the religion with some Persian gods. Although Greek language survived for centuries, it became extinct in Anatolia just in some years after the ottoman rule. So, don't try to blame others in order to feel better
Balkans have Muslim majority countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo and significant Muslim populations (more than 30%) in countries like North Macedonia, Montenegro etc. They also have a significant Muslim population in the Sandžak region of Serbia where Novi Pazar is a Muslim majority city in Serbia. All of these populations are native European Muslims. The result of 400 years of Ottoman Occupation.

Actually there were many Muslims in other Balkan countries aswell. Its just that they were mostly forced to relocate after the fall of the ottomans. Some muslims in Bosnia have roots from Hungary and Croatia for example, theres even a Hungarian muslim community still living in Egypt. Millions of Turks have European origin exactly because so many fled there. Its an overlooked part of history
There were many Muslims arround Balkans not only in Bosnia. But they got deported or killed. Eastern Bulgaria, Belgrade, Northern Greece were Muslim majority.
Many moved to Turkey after the Austrian ocupation and yugoslavia encouraged muslims to move there unfortunately. There are still villages in Turkey where people speak Bosnian as their native language
@@mamojebac111 yes the language that had the first south slavic dictionary, made by Muhamed Havaji Uskufi in 1631. Instead of larning history from croatian and serbian wikipedia pages you should read a couple of legit sources and look at history more objectively. Bosnian was the official language in the country even at the start of Austro Hungarian rule. You can still find school books from that era.
Just a note, We bosniaks are ourselves almost 100% Muslim the reason why the country itself only is 55-60% or so Muslim is because there are plenty of serbs and croats in the country who perdominently practice Christianity.
The Kingdom of Croatia from 925 to 1102 AD included the region of Bosnia. After 1102 AD the Kingdom of Croatia joins in an union with the Catholic Hungarian crown. In 1154 AD the Hungarians appoint Ban Boric (an ethnic Croat) as the first "Ban" (Governor) of Bosnia. Until the Ottoman Turkish invasion of Bosnia there were no muslims or their vassal Serbs ("Servs") in Bosnia.
Tattooing of the hands was a widespread tradition among Roman Catholic Croatian women in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Ottoman rule centuries ago. This tradition originates from the places once occupied by the Turks and its purpose was to prevent young, Catholic women being kidnapped and converted to Islam.... Traditional symbols included crosses, sometimes tattooed around the women’s wrist so that they looked like bracelets. The cross also has its variations in the form of a small pine tree...The custom was practiced in Central and Southern Bosnia, around the town of Jajce, as well as Rama, Uskoplje, Kupres and Kraljeva Sutjeska...

Your this vedio gives us a clear concept why Bisnia remain Muslim majority land in the middle of so many Christian countries. Thank you sir. Love from India.
I really liked the video. There are few things i would like to add. Bogomils played key role in creation of Bosnian church. Bogomils were a heretic group named after their leader Bogomil. They originated from Bulgaria, but were expelled to Serbia and from Serbia they were expelled to Bosnia (by Stefan Nemanja). Instead of expelling them Kulin ban (ban of Bosnia) and his people accepted them and their values which were pretty similar to the values early christianity proposed. There are some indications that Bosnian church was already fading even before Ottomans came. Chrstianity was prevailing, especially catholic Christianity. Last Bosnian king was cathlolic and many Bosnian lords were either catholic or ortodox (like Vlatko Vuković) by 14th and 15th century. The resistence of Bosnia to Ottomans wasnt as stiff as you said. Bosnian duke Vlatko Vuković did defeat Ottomans in battle of Bileća in 1388 and participated in battle of Kosovo next year, but other than that there wasnt more important battles in which Bosnia participated, mostly skirmishes. Bosnia fell to Mehmed the Conqueror in 1463 (4 years after Serbia) without much trouble. Finally, you made small mistake at the end. Bosnian uprising of 1831 didnt even come close to liberating Bosnia from Ottomans. It was important, but Ottomans put it down after a year or so and went on to rule Bosnia for 50 more years, untill 1878. Anyway great video, keep up with great content.

They were plenty of conversion throughout the empire.From Greeks, Georgians, Armenians etc. Most of those eventually assimilated into becoming part of todays Turks. In Bosna, Albania and some other places conversion did not lead to assimilation.
Apparently, all the muslim converts (and descendants) from christian-majority ottoman provinces that fled to the remaining territories of the ottoman empire, and later the newly-formed turkish republic, in the aftermath of all the independence wars that occurred all over southeastern europe during the late 1890s-early 1900s, became "turkified" fairly swiftly due to a "turkish name law" that was implemented during the early days of Ataturk's rule. All the citizens living within turkey's borders had to adopt a turkish-origin surname. It end up dilluting ethnic divisions within post-ottoman turkey, with the intent of creating a somewhat homogenous populated country, not prone to future ethnic strife and conflicts. The kurds were the only minority that, still to this day, continue to resist turkish assimilation. As for the bosniaks and the albanians, i believe that nowadays there is a sizable number of turks that are of bosniak/slavic and albanian ancestry, if i'm Not mistaken. I think the reason both bosnia and albania remained muslim-majority countries/territories even after the end of ottoman rule was the fact that there wasnt an immediate persecution of the muslim population by non-muslim rulers, which might have prompted an immediate and massive population exodus into turkey. Unfortunely, the persecutions really did occur, many decades later, during the communist rule in Albania and mainly in Bosnia, during the break-up of Yugoslavia.

Turkish people have different gene, language, alphabet and religion. Sounds like you did not go to school if you are saying what you said.
Similar conversions to Islam occurred in Bulgaria too, although in a much smaller scale. In fact, a small part of the Bulgarian Bogomils/Paulicians, who were considered heretics by the Orthodox church, embraced the Catholic fate in the 16th-17-th century. Even today there are two small municipalities with a predominant Catholic population - one in North Bulgaria (Belene) and one in South Bulgaria (Rakovski). As to the Muslim Bulgarians, they represent probably about 1% of the modern Bulgarian population. And last but not least, there were various attempts for re-Christianization of the Muslim Bulgarians but there was never a consistent state policy in this direction. What seems to have worked, was the atheist propaganda during the Communism, which affected all religious communities in Bulgaria.
@@marin8862 you mean 1/6 converts from the Bosnian Church... But well what about the immigrants you didnt mention them at all... but maybe there are more than 100 % ^^
I believe many Muslim Bulgarians had to take refuge in Turkey after Bulgaria's independence. They're called Pomaklar (Pomaks) in Turkey. Their numbers are between 300k and 600k.

@@TurquazCannabiz "Turkish" doesn't mean always "muslim". There are also Christian Turks.
@@ErPuglia well almost 10% of Bulgaria is Turkish and I don’t think they are all Christian
Bosnians had probably accepted Islam due to a combination of factors. Obviously tolerance was one of them, but also many sources claim one of the tenets of the Bosnian church was that they refused to worship the cross, seeing it as bizarre that other Christians worshipped that which had killed Jesus (and some even debate on whether or not they believed Jesus was God or just a prophet of God). This is much closer to Islamic belief, so perhaps the change was not so radical for Bosnians.
from what i learned in school they believed in two gods one was good other one evil but it could be very outdated
"Obviously tolerance was a factor"
The Ottoman Turks introduced a special tax on Christians in Bosnia. Roman Catholics were discriminated more compared to the Orthodox Christian who had the "Millet System" under the Ottoman Turkish rule.
"many sources claim one of the tenets of the Bosnian church..."
Actually that "Bosnian Church" ( or Bogomil sect) died out before the Ottoman Turks arrived. They were all converted by the Roman Catholic Franciscan monks in Bosnia on orders from the Pope ( Papal Bull still exists in the Vatican as evidence).

The "Bosnian Church" has not existed for several centuries. The "church" most likely was the Bogomil sect ( from Bulgaria). The Papal Bull ( order) instructed the Roman Catholic Franciscan Monks in Bosnia to convert all the Bogomils (circa 10,000 members) which they did before the Ottoman Turkish invasion.

Nije baš ni naj tačniji jer ne navodi da je "Bosanska crkva" u srednjem veku bila Arijanska crkva (sledbenici popa Arija ili u Francuskoj poznati kao Katari) . Papaska inkvizicija ih je spaljivala na lomači u to vreme ,pa su spas našli u Bosni (to su uglavnom bili Normani po poreklu, danas ako radite DNK test haplogrupa,to je I2 haplogrupa koja je rasprostranjena širom bivše SFRJ). U Srbiji sledbenici popa Arija su nazivani Bogumili (po popu Bogumilu iz današnje Bugarske ) ili Babuni (u zakoniku Cara Dušana ih tako nazivaju po reci Babun u Makedoniji).
Prelazak na islamsku veru nije bio dobrovoljan kao što se u videu izbegava da kaže. Turci su namerno bili naj svirepiji prema bogumilima (katari/ Arijevci...jedno te isto samo drugi nazivi) i prema "nemačkim riterima" koje je Car Dušan doveo i nastanio u okolini Skoplja (danas uglavnom njihovi naslednici žive na i oko Šarplanine - to sada znamo jer imaju R1b haplogrupu istu DNK kao i Nemci u Nemačkoj,a niko ne govori Nemački i većina je polu muslimani,polu pravoslavci ) . Na kraju videa nedostaje odrednica "zašto niko nije terao muslimane da se vrate u hrišćanstvo" ... Zato što je Bosna nakon oslobođenja od Turaka prvo pripala Austrougarskoj,ali su se sve vreme i muslimani i pravoslavci borili protiv Austrougarske,jer NISU DOZVOLILI da se grade škole na našem južnoslovenskom jeziku . U organizaciji "Mlada Bosna" su bili i pravoslavci i muslimani i katolici (i Gavrilo Princip 😊) . U kraljevinu SHS,Bosna je ušla kao deo Srbije (Kraljevina Srba,Hrvata i Slovenaca) .

What nation of Bosnia? Do you mean those that were brought from all over Ottoman empire or the natives? Natives mostly carry Serbian orthodox last names. There were so many migrations in Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia and back. After each rebellion, people would move to another ottoman province. The best part of the Bosnian saga is that even administrative lines changed over time. That means that parts of today's Croatia and Serbia were in Bosnia.

I live in Bosnia and this is literally what we learn about how Islam came to Bosnia as well. It's not much different really, except our teacher used to tell us that Bosnian church wasn't really similar to Catholic and Orthodox churches of the time. Apparently Bosnian church denied trinity, also did not pray towards a cross, and did not allow church hierarchy that was present in other churches. So like the way it was explained to me was: Bosnian church definitely stemmed from Christianity, but it had some major differences that made it qualify as heretics. Also they absolutely despised the practice of "indulgence", aka paying to the church so that they suffer less in hell- which was practiced in Christianity. Plus, Bosnians didn't really pray the way Christians did, there isn't any specific rituals that can be pointed out really. They also didn't care much about religion in the first place apparently.. According to what my professor said, the prayer was more of a "talking to God" type of thing?
Along with all that, the constant pressure which you mentioned also made people of Bosnia "cold" towards Christianity. Considering also Islam had many similarities to the Bosnian church (at the time), with the "incentive to convert" rather than force, I think was enough to "soften" many Bosnians towards Islam. According to what I've also heard, Ottomans would kidnap non-Muslim kids for janissaries- but Muslim Bosnians would go on to join janissaries themselves very often. Like families would send their sons while kids to train with janissaries. I am a Muslim (my family really has entirely Montenegrian roots), and I have heard stories by my grandparents about their elders (there is a lot about my family that was written and told to others) going to Istanbul for either military education voluntarily, or just simply going to serve the army, or go get education. I'm not sure how correct all of it is, there isn't much to talk about when it comes to Bosnia as there isn't many records.
P.S.: Watch out for the Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks in the comments trying to say ban Kulin or king Tvrtko was either of those. One of them is Bosnian bogumil, other Bosnian catholic. Go on and fight until your fingers fall off from typing.
I disagree with that.
The Ottoman policy was divide and rule.They would Islamize certain regions of the Balkans like in Greece, Bosnia, Albania and Bulgaria to ensure that their vassals had control over the nomadic Christians.
No Christian family willingly sent their sons to Constantinople.
By that logic all the Uyghur muslims voluntarily gave their children to Chinese Maoists who took them to Beijing to become great officers.

@@personaldove wouldn't say that. Despite the popular opinion, Ottomans did renovate churches and built majority of 'hospitals' in Serbia, also treatment wasn't that bad in the beginning. Also let Serbs to continue practicing the GOC, although for a price, they did not try forcing anything.

There is another point that should be considered in this subject. When Mehmed II conquered Bosnia in 1463 he gave them a speech in their language about their religious rights. This is pretty big for a local citizen when you think about it in those ages. A foreign "heathen" head of state conquers you and address you in your language about your rights. They still commemorate him today.
Doesn't have anything to do with that. Mehmed II spoke i think 5 languages fluently and one of the languages was Serbian. Anwers in Bosnia lays in Hungarian wish to conquer those lands for very long time, constant crusades against them as recognized from both denominations as heretics (check for Bogumils) and finally for the rulers of Bosnia who shifted to islam before the rest of the people.
@@bojanblagojevic5759 I am not saying this is the most important reason but ratger it should be mentioned in the video. It is not important when you think these times but it is a nice touch when you consider that ages.
@@muhammedaliisk4578 Yeah i understood. From that point of view yes. Definitely would be huge difference if you have a conquerer which speaks your language then some Hungarian who wants to impose his rules. Just wanted to point out that doesn't have anything to do with their transfer to Islam. At least not immediately. For example the last Bosnian king was killed by Mehmed II in person. He personally cut his head. Didn't mean anything to Bosnian king that Mehmed II was speaking Serbian in that moment. 😁

Balkan nations kept their languages and religions after centuries of Turkish rule despite that Greeks claim the opposite ironically Greeks were the ones who assimilated the native Anatolian peoples causing their extinctions
Its the difference between European style colonization started by the Greeks and the Romans where they essentially "cleanse" the lands they colonize from their natives and emigrate their own peoples to live their compared to the Islamic empires where religious tolerance is the basis of conquest. Its why its very rare to hear of witch hunts in Muslim nations (Not that it didn't happen but much rarer).
Unfortunately, History also teaches us that ultimately the European style is the one that won out in the end. Evidence to that how the New World is basically an extension of European culture
@@NTLuck ?
@@NTLuck I thought I read that the west permitted India to keep their religions during Partition?
I don't know if you know it, but after Alexander's conquest, Greek became lingua franca of Anatolia. In 197 BC Rome conquers Greece and after a while Anatolia. We see that Greek language in Anatolia remained even UNDER ROMAN RULE, just like in Sicily and the Levant until the Arab conquest. Anatolia was under Greek rule for about 130 years and under Roman for centuries. Despite that Greek language prevailed. Also, in Anatolia there were also large populations of Greeks since 12th century BC, who migrated there after the Bronze Age collapse. By the time of Alexander's conquest, Greeks were already one of the largest, if not the largest, population. For example, the kingdom of Pontus was ruled by Persian dynasty but the official language was Greek, just like the religion with some Persian gods. Although Greek language survived for centuries, it became extinct in Anatolia just in some years after the ottoman rule. So, don't try to blame others in order to feel better

Islam is better then provocation
Tattooing of the hands was a widespread tradition among Roman Catholic Croatian women in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Ottoman rule centuries ago.
This tradition originates from the places once occupied by the Turks and its purpose was to prevent young, Catholic women being kidnapped and converted to Islam....
Traditional symbols included crosses, sometimes tattooed around the women’s wrist so that they looked like bracelets. The cross also has its variations in the form of a small pine tree...The custom was practiced in Central and Southern Bosnia, around the town of Jajce, as well as Rama, Uskoplje, Kupres and Kraljeva Sutjeska...

I really liked the video. There are few things i would like to add.
Bogomils played key role in creation of Bosnian church. Bogomils were a heretic group named after their leader Bogomil. They originated from Bulgaria, but were expelled to Serbia and from Serbia they were expelled to Bosnia (by Stefan Nemanja). Instead of expelling them Kulin ban (ban of Bosnia) and his people accepted them and their values which were pretty similar to the values early christianity proposed.
There are some indications that Bosnian church was already fading even before Ottomans came. Chrstianity was prevailing, especially catholic Christianity. Last Bosnian king was cathlolic and many Bosnian lords were either catholic or ortodox (like Vlatko Vuković) by 14th and 15th century.
The resistence of Bosnia to Ottomans wasnt as stiff as you said. Bosnian duke Vlatko Vuković did defeat Ottomans in battle of Bileća in 1388 and participated in battle of Kosovo next year, but other than that there wasnt more important battles in which Bosnia participated, mostly skirmishes. Bosnia fell to Mehmed the Conqueror in 1463 (4 years after Serbia) without much trouble.
Finally, you made small mistake at the end. Bosnian uprising of 1831 didnt even come close to liberating Bosnia from Ottomans. It was important, but Ottomans put it down after a year or so and went on to rule Bosnia for 50 more years, untill 1878.

They were plenty of conversion throughout the empire.From Greeks, Georgians, Armenians etc. Most of those eventually assimilated into becoming part of todays Turks. In Bosna, Albania and some other places conversion did not lead to assimilation.
Apparently, all the muslim converts (and descendants) from christian-majority ottoman provinces that fled to the remaining territories of the ottoman empire, and later the newly-formed turkish republic, in the aftermath of all the independence wars that occurred all over southeastern europe during the late 1890s-early 1900s, became "turkified" fairly swiftly due to a "turkish name law" that was implemented during the early days of Ataturk's rule. All the citizens living within turkey's borders had to adopt a turkish-origin surname. It end up dilluting ethnic divisions within post-ottoman turkey, with the intent of creating a somewhat homogenous populated country, not prone to future ethnic strife and conflicts. The kurds were the only minority that, still to this day, continue to resist turkish assimilation.
As for the bosniaks and the albanians, i believe that nowadays there is a sizable number of turks that are of bosniak/slavic and albanian ancestry, if i'm Not mistaken. I think the reason both bosnia and albania remained muslim-majority countries/territories even after the end of ottoman rule was the fact that there wasnt an immediate persecution of the muslim population by non-muslim rulers, which might have prompted an immediate and massive population exodus into turkey. Unfortunely, the persecutions really did occur, many decades later, during the communist rule in Albania and mainly in Bosnia, during the break-up of Yugoslavia.
