I'm reading my daughter's textbook here in Tokyo, and it tells in quite depth how powerful the Turkish were, and how important of an empire the Ottomans were. I don't know why, but here in Japan, we have a very positive attitude towards Turkish people. In the Iranian revolution, Turkey sent Japanese citizens in Iran a charter plane to extract them - and when I visited Istanbul, I came across many Turks who spoke Japanese. Sadly, my country has xenophobia towards middle eastern people - since groups that steal JDM cars to send to the US, tend to be Kurdish. But there is some kind of "relief", when one finds out your odd middle eastern looking guy is Turkish. Like, "oohh your Turkish, ok sorry man, my bad." And so here I am on youtube, trying to learn why that is, by learning Ottoman history with my daughter. I love the internet.

That was very fascinating to read & that Japan has a positive attitude towards Turkish people is heartwarming. Which makes our people more fascinated about Japanese people and its rich and exciting history. I too am curious to know why Japan teaches Ottoman history.

[@sapphyrus]

Both Japanese and Turks were under threat from Western imperialism but Japan was able to modernize and turn the tide against the aggressors. This transformation is just what Turkey has always tried to do. It's astonishing to us as we have struggled to do the same but didn't go quite as well as Japan did. We also feel a kind of kinship also from how the Ottoman frigate Ertugrul's crew was saved by Japanese villagers after it sunk in a storm after a visit to Japan. I'd recommend watching the movie Kainan 1890 which was a joint production by both countries which detail the event. Greetings from Turkey, be safe!

The 4 most important factors in the rapid expansion of the Ottoman Empire: 1. The Ottomans employed steppe war tactics that Europeans were not familiar with. And the Ottomans made good use of gunpowder, cannons and hand cannons that the Mongols learned from China and brought to the Middle East. A century later, Europe developed the arquebus and the Ottomans adapted this new technology to their armies and developed this type of weapon further. 2. Because the war with Christians was religiously appreciated by the Turkish people in Anatolia, the Turkish people migrated from other Beyliks in Anatolia and joined the Ottoman army. 3. The Ottomans were in a region far from Mongol oppression. For this reason, Turkish tribes migrated to the Ottoman lands. Thus, the Ottoman Empire could settle this Turkish population in the new lands it conquered. 4. The Ottoman tolerance of the Christian civilian population and did not press for forced conversion, which protected the Ottomans from great Christian revolts even during the Ottoman weakness, such as the struggle for the throne

This series was fantastic! Thanks so much for shedding some light on a historical topic that does not get a lot of attention in the western world. Just some food for thought -- I would argue that this is not the "first" episode in the series. I am a novice at Ottoman history but this episode would make it seem that the Turks have always lived in this part of the world and Osman was just the first to finally start the expansion. Have you thought about doing an episode for the 100 years before this episode showing how the Byzantines controlled Anatolian, to be conquered by the Seljuk Sultanate/Sultanate of Rum (which is another slice of history I am not clear on and would be awesome if you did a series about) which then led to the Turks eventually fleeing from Central Asia in to Anatolia from the Mongols. Was reading on Wiki about how his father Ertugrul was a Seljuk general and first granted lands around Sogut where Osman would later launch his expansion campaigns from.

MISTAKE: Serbia was in the short vassal state at that point but not controlled or conquered by the Ottomans neither with the Ottoman forces after the battle of Kosovo (exceptions were small supporting Ottoman garnisons to the Serbian local lords in couple of battles against Hungarians and between themselves on the Serbian territory). After the battle of Kosovo, in exchange for the Ottomans recognition, Serbs were obligated to go into battles together with the Ottomans on their side like the battle of Ankara where a Serbian ruler Stefan Lazarević showed amazing heroism which even impressed victorious Amir Timur who granted to all captured Serbian knights full freedom together with gifts and due to respect for Stefan he returned him back his sister Olivera (which was after Kosovo battle given like a vassal wife to Bayezid in exchange for Stefan ruling recognition). After the battle of Ankara, Serbia was totally free from vassal obligations to the Ottomans and Stefan even made alliance with Hungarians where he rebuild then destroyed Belgrade making it one of the most important market medieval hubs.

@Православни Келт Ko se to borio sa Turcima pre bitke na Marici 1371? Srbi pre toga nisu videli Turcina a ne bili u ratu sa njima 100 god pre boja na Kosovu. Stefan Decanski nije ni cuo za Osmanlije, kao ni Dragutin i Milutin. Osmanlije su u njihovo vreme bili pleme Seldzuka u centralnom delu male Azije za koje nisu ni culi a kamoli bili u ratu sa njima. Prvi ko je imao dodira sa Osmanlijama je Stefan Dusan dok je bio jos ziv, znaci pre 1355. Postoji samo jedan izolovani incident koji se istorijski ni ne spominje, u kom se srpska vojska, zapravo mala izvidnica slucajno susrela na Vizantijskoj teritoriji sa Osmanlijskim konjanicima a zatim i povukla, posto su bili brojcano slabiji i nisu bili spremni za sukob. Dusan je obavesten o veoma jakoj, brzoj i sposobnoj konjici Osmanlija. Dusan je prvi video kolika su zapravo opasnost i sila, i da ih ne treba uzimati olako. Zato je upozorio Papu i trazio da predvodi krstase pred nadolazecom silom, ali je odbijen. Papa nikada ne bi dozvolio pravoslavcu da vodi vojsku. Dusan je pola veka pre krstaskih ratova upozoravao na opasnost od Osmanlija. To samo govori u prilog kakav je vojskovodja bio i koliko dalekovid u sagledavanju situacije. Dok sa druge strane, Papa je pokazao koliko je kratkovid i nezainteresovan bio, misleci da su Osmanlije predaleko i da ne predstavljaju nikakvu pretnju za Evropu. Istorija je pokazala posledice, trebalo im je 50god da shvate i okupe vojsku tadasnje Evrope, koju su Osmanlije pregazile kao potok kod Nikopolja. Velikom zaslugom i Stefana Lazarevica. Cak i tada su mislili da su Osmanlije lak zalogaj. Da je Dusan poslusan a Evropa ujedinjena u krstaskom ratu tada, pregazili bi Osmanlije sve do Egipta.

A lot of people tend to forget the Turks fought as mercs for the Byzantines in the Balkans. Due to this it led to more pay and power. Along with territory this allowed the Ottomans easily to take these territories in the Balkans as the Turks turned against the Byzantines took the cities and hand it over to the Ottomans. Basically when your Mercs turn against you due to pay.

[@Asterix958]

It is incorrect. Ottomans took Balkan cities mostly by force or surrendering but surrendering side never was Turk because Byzantines didn't have armies consisted of mostly Turks. Turk mercenaries already converted to Christianity and Ottoman sources never mentions them as friend or allies. They were loyal to Byzantines.

[@nikolalesov8359]

Some of the sources vastly exaggerate the numbers (though some modern sources decrease them too much). The official numbers say that both armies at Nicopol had tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. It is impossible the crusaders to suffer more losses, than the size of their entire army! :-) As for Murad - He himself might have been undefeated in battle, but one of his commanders lost the battle of Plochnik. After the battle of Chernomen the Ottomans were seen as some great warriors and the Christian soldiers were afraid of them even before the start of any of the next battles, which helped the Ottomans to conquer a vast territory. But at the battle of Plochnik the Ottomans faced a bigger Serbian army and the world saw, how "great" the Ottoman warriors are - just thieves who lack discipline. They were no better than their rivals - just had more armies.
