    Kings and Generals began remaking its animated historical documentary on the history of the Ottoman empire with the early rise of the Ottoman beylik under Osman I. In the first video we covered the early origins of the beylik, its status among the Muslim states in Anatolia and its early clashes against the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire at Bapheus and Dimbos in 1302 ( • Rise of the Ottoman Em... ). The second episode showed how a tiny beylik became a regional power with the continued battles against the Byzantine empire and other states, including the siege of Prusa (Bursa) between 1317 and 1326 and the battle of Pelekanon of 1329 ( • How the Ottomans Took ... ). As the Ottoman entered the Balkans, they had to face the Serbian Empire and the Second Bulgarian Empire, leading to the battles like Maritsa in 1371 ( • Maritsa 1371 - End of ... ). The Ottomans continued expanding both in Europe and Asia, leading to the conflicts with many states, including the Karamanids, culminating at the battle of Frenkyazisi in 1387 ( • Ottoman Expansion in A... ). As the Ottomans managed to defeat their enemies in Anatolia, they now had time to fight against the burgeoning Balkan alliance that formed against them with Lazar Hrebeljanovic of the Moravian Serbia at its head. His confrontation with the sultan Murad I would led to the battle of Kosovo in 1389 ( • Battle of Kosovo 1389 ... ). In the aftermath of Kosovo, Bayezid I takes the power and continues campaigns both in Anatolia and the Balkans. The events in Anatolia culminate at the battle of Kirdilim of 1391, where the Sultan defeats his Turkic opponents led by Kadi Burhaneddin. The Ottomans became the sultans of Rum getting the title of the Seljuks ( • How the Ottomans Becam... ). Afterwards the Sultan continued campaigning in Europe, leading to the first major Ottoman defeat at Rovine in 1395 against the Voivode of Wallachia, Mircea the Elder ( • First Major Ottoman De... ). Despite that, the Ottoman advance in Europe continued and to counter it, the king of Hungary Sigismund called a crusade joined by many nobles and retinues from the Balkans, France and beyond. This led to the so called Crusade of Nicopolis - the last major crusade and the battle of Nicopolis in 1396 ( • How the Ottomans Defea... ). In the aftermath, Bayezid had a free rein and he blockaded Constantinople. The Roman emperor Manuel II Palaiologos decided to travel to Europe to get help, but got no help in the West ( • Roman Emperor Gets No ... ). But with the Ottoman expansion in the east Anatolia, Bayezid was on a collision course with another conqueror - Timur, which led to the battle of Ankara in 1402.

    I feel Bayezid is misunderstood. He appears as arrogant but in fact he was highly principled. He flat out refused to handover the people who took refuge in his lands since it was unbecoming of an Islamic Sultan. Also, Timur's reputation of a brutal mass murderer preceeded him. Yildirim was much aware that Timur had destroyed two brilliant Islamic Civilizations in Iran and India only to enrich Samarkand. So Bayezid as a king tried to guard his sovereignty. If a major chunk Türkmen troops hadn't defected to Timur's camp, maybe the result of Ankara clash would be different. Anyhow, the Ottomans did recover from this fatal blow thanks to Mehmet Çelebi the second founder of Ottoman state.

    During the Battle,
    Timur did not send his war Elephants straight away to destroy the Enemy, but instead divided them up cleverly.
    He has larger reserves and at no time was he in danger,
    his flanks were stable, the Ottoman left flank collapsed as planned and it moved away, that was enough to cause the Entire Ottoman Army to Panic. This move was brilliant.

    This entire battle shows you the fickleness of fate. It took 13 years for beyazid to conquer all of Anatolia, he could have taken Constantinople as well, but he made his biggest by being mean to some emir from Central Asia. He was really good commander, but he was unfortunately outclassed by probably the greatest military mind of that generation. It only took 1 night to completely shake the geopolitical reality that of Mediterranean for Timur.
    Beyazid was humiliated, his empire completely shaken, and soon to be in civil war. Yet it was timur’s empire that would collapse in a shocking fashion, and it was house of Osman, that would recover and rebuild to become one of the largest empires.

      Actually Bayezid was'nt outclassed. But accept that his army created by Anatoilan Beys whose Bayezid take their land only 10 years ago. so they are in ottoman army but they betrayed Bayezid to take their land back. Also a group in army 'Karatatars' betrayed also. The war losing at started. Your comment ok for Ottoman state was on the stage of foundation. And weak for a great horde empire but I think Bayezid is not but he was a very courage and arrogant commander

    Pride comes before the fall - had Bayezid made his stronghold in Ankara like it was advised, it could've been a very different outcome. Much credit to Timur who planned to draw Bayezid out while simultaneously doing his political homework and found allies in Bayezid's court.
