Civil War That Almost Destroyed the Ottomans - Animated Medieval History

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 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 ( • Battle of Ankara 1402 ... ). In the aftermath, the civil war of interregnum between the sons of Bayezid almost destroyed the Ottomans.

This is so crazy, but my family my ancestors hailed from Amasya and Bartın.

Education only accepts real Ottoman decline in 19th century since there is no decisive wins remaining :) I needed to read foreign sources to understand real position of the empire.

[@mehmetblitzker]

I will write my previous comment again here. It's interesting to observe that many commentators often seek to downplay the achievements, conquests, and innovations of the Ottomans. Yet, let's acknowledge that we are discussing an empire that engaged in wars, primarily driven by economic and political motives rather than religious ones. It successfully adapted to the demands of its time, establishing a robust framework for administration, trade, and the economy. The Ottoman Empire created a flourishing civilization with the influence of other rich civilizations where diverse nations coexisted harmoniously; although, one might observe a different scenario in its former geography marked by various problems nowadays. As someone proud of my Turkish heritage, I take immense pride in my ancestors who, despite their imperfections, played a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining the Ottoman Empire for an impressive six centuries. Thank you, K&G, we love you!

Note: After Ertuğrul's death, Osman's younger uncle, Haji Bektash Veli, became Bey, according to stories found in the book Vilayetname. Around that period, Osman and a few other fighters began planning raids on the Byzantine territories that bordered Söğüt, including Yarhisar, Bilecik, İnegöl, and İznik. Provoked as a result, the Byzantine Tekfur (governor) of Bursa complained about these ongoing attacks and sent envoys to the Seljuk Sultan Alâeddin Kayqubad III.

Refering to the fratricide family tree, Murad's elder brother was Suleyman. In sources like von Hammer, Suleyman was the favorite one for the day to ascend to the throne would come. However, he was killed in a hunting accident and left Murad to fight his little brother Halil. Being the elder one left might be a legitimacy winner for Europe in that age, it didn't work like that in the east, though. Fratricide as a practice entered the law during the reign of Mehmed II, being the grandson of the first. A couple of generations later, might-be-heirs grew up in the palace in Constatinople. Many of them never left the quarters or at least alive, anyhow. Happy to contribute, keep it coming!

[@VasilBelezhkov]

Hunting 'accidents' were very popular among medieval rulers. I still don't get how some Bulgarian tsars dared to go hunting with some brother or cousin who is interested in 'inheriting his job'. It was like this for tsar Gavrail Radomir (1014-1015) and the other one was tsar Mihail II Asen (1246-1256).
