    Poem by Sulaiman the magnificent:
    "The people think of wealth and power as the greatest fate,
    But in this world, a spell of health is the best state.
    What men call sovereignty is worldly strife and constant war;
    Worship of God is the highest throne, the happiest of all estates"

    Note: Osman became the prince of the border principality that conquered Byzantine Bithynia in northwest Anatolia near Bursa after the Mongols ultimately defeated the Seljuqs in 1293. He led the ghazis against the Byzantines in that region. With the more potent Turkmen principality of Germiyan enclosing him from the east, Osman and his immediate successors focused their attacks on Byzantine lands along the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara on the west.

    Hi, really appreciate your work .
    I'm a student of history, i am researching the Ottoman history through the lens of ibne khaldun.. a thought occurred to me ..
    The jannisaries were salaried, salary decreases asabiyyah the ottomans countered that with a patrimonial close knit system maintaining social cohesion henece increased asabiyyah. Which troubled them later on.
    Couldn't they have used the diversity of the corps to decrease asabiyyah a bit when needed?

    • @HikmaHistory
      @HikmaHistory  9 місяців тому +1

      I'd say it's important to bear in mind that the decline of the Janissaries took place over multiple decades; in real time, such developments are difficult to recognise (especially when that problem was part of a wider rot inside Ottoman administration, it becomes even harder). I don't know if this answers your question haha

    While this video is very informative about how the Beylik of Osmanli rose to power, it also leads to another question as well. And that question is why the Karamanids cannot do the same? If one was present at that time and look at what Anatolia was like during that time, most peoples will believed that the Karamanids will be the most likely candiate as the new Islamic superpower, especially after the fracture of the Timurid Empire. But we all know that did not happen but we never know why. And that is the point of this question. Why the Karamanids failed but the Ottomans succeeded?

    • @ochomunna270
      @ochomunna270 9 місяців тому +1

      I think it has to do with the will power of the Osmanlis to fill the power vacuum.
      Most beyliks(like the Karamanids) are content with their place in their nation/province, but the Ottomans were more ambitious and simply wanted more.
      Sort of how Lord Genghis' ambition for more led him an illiterate mongol commoner, to unite the mongol tribes into a horde and lead them to create an empire under his mandate of heaven(which was just his ambition to dominate afterall) and was a driving force for his descendants thereafter.
      Same for the Ottomans I guess, they wanted more whereas their Karamanid neighbors were content.
      The willpower of humans to dominate has led to empires and conquerors over time.
      From Alexander the Great taking his father Phillip's Macedonian Phalanx to conquer the world because he(Alexander) wanted more.
      To Julius Ceasar who idolized Alexander the Great and himself taking the Roman military machine to heights previously unseen and establishing Roman hegemony over the world at that time, simply because he(Ceasar) wanted more like his idol.
      The sheer will to see out a mission to it's conclusion no matter what.
      Something the Ottomans understood and even styled themselves "Ceasars and successors to the ancient Roman Empire" after the defeat of Byzantium.
      Pretty much follows the same pattern for all empires.

    I always believed in a “Diet Ghaza” Thesis.
    I took a class on Ottoman History as well as read on my own, and my impression is that Islam served as a “glue” that kept the state cohesive (“asabiya” if you like Ibn Khaldun) through all these compromises. Spreading Islam seemed like a “light at the end of the tunnel”, that could be compromised in the short term as long as it was a goal in the long term.
    In many ways this also seems like Spain before finishing the reconquista, which itself compromised with many factions and faiths in the Iberian peninsula until the Fall of Granada allowed the state to stop compromising and assert Catholic supremacy.
    A Sunni re-entrenchment happened after the rise of the Safavids as well with the Ottomans, although obviously not in the same aggressive way as in Spain. Perhaps that it also another important date for the end of the “frontier synthesis” in Ottoman state-craft.

    Unfortunately just another plain and old essay on Ottoman Empire. Even though the Ottomans treated their christian population,,better” than other dynasties and countries of the time, they did that because of the large christian population inside their territory. Most probably they did that in tradition with post Rumelian turkish states. When Ottomans conquered the Balkan states, they enslaved a lot of population and created the Janissary legions out of Christian minors. The emipire was built on muslim, roman and latin grounds, with mongol army and muslim codes. This video is precise and true within a certain limit.

    Eh sorry but you created a strawman ghaza thesis to argue against in your video. Ghaza does not necessarily mean butchering or force converting the Christians, never fighting other Muslims or following orthodox sunni islam. Neither can you bring any credible sources to back your claim on early Ottomans having "many" Christian soldiers and administrators. Ghaza thesis explains very well why Ottomans managed to rise among other Turkic statelets in Anatolia. Similar to Mongol expansions, nomadic Turks required constant loot and expansion, and Anatolia was already conquered by the nomads. Early Ottomans seems to have combined the steppe expansionism with Islam, which is what we usually mean by "Ghaza". Ottomans managed to gather these nomadic Turkic tribesmen by offering the riches and the wealth of Christian Europe and Western Anatolia. This is why we had an Ottoman Empire, as opposed to a Karamanid Empire.

    1:37 I have no confidence in a European historian writing at the disintegration of the Automan Empire decade, earlier, defining how the Ottomans got started.
    We make the mistake of not understanding Islam, and how it actually got started, mostly at the first modern Mecca of 1919, and not understanding the historical factors of how that religion formed, especially since the Quran was first published in the 20th century.
    Such ideas are understanding that the Ottomans actually existed hundreds of years earlier and are the chief rivals of the Roman empire and were the ones who drove them out of Constantinople/Istanbul, as well as drove them out of the mediterranean.
    In framing history, in this way, we don’t appreciate how this power, this world empire was essentially a continuation of the forces that tried to re-create the Roman Empire
    In other words, the forces of the Roman empire that became Christianity versus the forces of the Roman Empire that became the Arab world (the concept of a mirror, small ethnic group that helped the British after the fall of the Ottomans and has emerged as a descriptive term of everyone within the near east African region)

      @@redrum187Blade The Knights Hospitaller went to Malta in 1529, 7 years after being expelled from Rhodes (1522) because Emperor Charles V gave it to them as property.
      The Ottoman Empire then tried to take Malta in 1565, but was completely defeated.
      It has nothing to do with tolerance.

    Imagine if Anatolia was Christian now….the country probably wouldn’t be called “Turkey”, and it’d probably be far more prosperous.

      Why would Anatolia be more prosperous as a "Christian" country? Look at central Africa, are they prosperous? Being prosperous in this time is linked to many more factors than just affiliating to a religion, besides the USA and west Europe are all atheist looking at their constitution. Where is Christianity in Capitalism?

      Oh please an attaturk would probably exist to abolish Christiandom like secularists in the real timeline and also the ottoman were advanced but didn't have naval power like the European to expand the resources like the British In the Americas and India or have access to Southern Africa and when Christianity was dominant before the enlightenment it was called the dark ages.

      @@blackflame1592 because the authoritarian nature of Islam makes it very hard for a secular society to rise out of it. Everywhere else in the world, for the most part, most people have the common sense to not take religion literally, and to have a more secular/free lifestyle…if Muslims believe that the Quran is the literal/perfect word of god…it’s only natural to conclude Islamism is correct. I mean islamists are only acting in the same way the prophet and his followers did. Read the Quran in a modern language you can understand, it’s quite brutal m8.

      @@blackflame1592 western countries are secular, not “atheist” lmao. “Secular” means everyone is free to practice their own religion. And secularism came about through Christian free thinkers during the enlightenment. A lot of the scientific innovation in the Christian west was because Protestants/Catholics (and definitely Jews, a small population that proportionally contributed a large amount) genuinely believed they could learn the mind of god and understand his magnificent creation. These scientific innovations gave rise to the enlightenment and eventually an evolution into secular/free society, and then liberal democracy.
