🚩 The conquest of the Mamluks by Selim I was the largest military venture any Ottoman Sultan had ever attempted. Egypt proved extremely profitable for the empire as it produced more tax revenue than any other Ottoman territory and supplied about 25% of all food consumed. Meanwhile, Mecca and Medina officially made Selim and his descendants the Caliphs of the entire Muslim world until the early 20th century.

Sultan Selim I was a beast. He became Sultan in his early 40s & reigned for only 8 years but he trippled the empire's territory. Conquered the entirety of Mamluk Sultanate, Annexed Eastern Anatolia & ravaged safavid capital, also filled the ottoman treasury to its full. In my opinion, He's the best ottoman sultan as his success rate is 100%.

Instead, Tuman bay II produced 200 handguns but he can't use because army of Selim encircled Tumanbay's army and Tumanbay forced to give pitched battle and these handguns remained in fortified positiion, not being used. Journey of Sinai Desert is overrated. Ottomans in 1914 and 1915 crossed Sinai Desert 2 times, losing couple of soldiers from 30k soldiers. We know that Army of Selim I took huge casualties i this journey while Ottomans in 1914 easily crossed thanks to German consultants.

In Turkish we have a saying that reads: "Yavuz'a vezir olasın." It literally translates to "I hope you'll be a vizier to [Sultan Yavuz] Selim", a phrase used for people who you want to perish lol. This is because Selim was kinda notorious for having his pashas/viziers executed if they ever failed or crossed him. It is said that he brought back so much gold following the conquest of the Mamluks that new chambers had to be built in the imperial palace in Istanbul. This gold was one of the driving forces that fed the Ottoman war machine back then and helped Suleiman continue his pressure in the Balkans. In my opinion, Selim does not get the recognition he deserves, compared to Mehmet the Conqueror and Suleiman the Magnificent. His story is truly impressive and unique in the Ottoman history, he forced his father to abdicate the throne (then allegedly poisoned him to death), marched against another Muslim powerhouse a.k.a the Safavids and conquered all the way into the Mamluks while crossing the notorious Sinai Dessert within two weeks. Many of Turkish historians refer to Selim as Turkish version of the Alexander the Great, due to the similarities in their effective eastern expansion. Although he was sultan for a brief period of eight years, the legacy he left behind echoed in the region for centuries to come.

As a Turk who enjoys reading history since a very young age, I would like to say Sultan Selim the Resolute is widely accepted as the greatest Ottoman to ever walk on the earth. Rest of the Sultans are not even compariable with Selim, only with the exception of Mehmed II. That famous Suleiman's success is actually solely based on Selim's hardwork. He did 80 years of work only in 8 years, riding horse nonstop in the melting deserts of Arabia and harsh terrains of Caucasus, showing a unseen sheerwill, always staying diciplined all of which resulted in the 400 years of conquest of what is 3/1 of greatest territorial extent of the empire , which even included holiest cities of three biggest religions: Jerusalem, Mecca & Medina, Constantinapole. He was the first Turkish origin caliph of Islam, second Caesar of the Romans and the Khagan of Two Seas, Selim was one of the very few man that only come in half a millenia.

Nicely written brother. I was always amazed by ignorance of people seeing Suleyman as the best sultan, even the so called historians. There is a tendency triggered by ignorance and ideological nonsense to underrate Selim. Let alone there are great marshall sultans like Mehmed Fatih and Murad II to be accounted as best Sultans, in 46 years, Suleyman could not even accomplish what his father did in 8 years. Compared to other sultans, Suleyman had a huge time advantage but he wasted so much of it. Considering the conditions and advantages, I think Suleyman is a disappointment, let alone a great sultan. Even if you would open wikipedia you would see his father left him the best opportunity one prince could ever find, in the entire history of ottoman empire, a well organized gunpowder army and huge treasury fulfilled to fullest, an empire ready to conquer the world but Suleyman ruined every inch of that. Stopped at the walls of weak vienna and couldn't cross the crotia. Imagine if Selim ruled for 46 years or Mehmed. We would live in a very different world.

@@userx47191 Selim's methods are still debated in Turkey today. Declaring Shiites as heretics caused numerous problems. His relocation of Kurds to Anatolia and expulsion of Alevi Turkmen from Anatolia contributed to the Kurdish issue we face today. Beside that Suleiman the Magnificent ruled the Ottoman Empire for 46 years, facing numerous enemies during his reign. He spread Islam to Indonesia and its surrounding regions and formed an alliance with France, allowing the Ottomans to engage in European politics. His naval forces operated in many seas. The era of Suleiman is considered the peak of the Ottoman Empire's golden age. I'm a non-Muslim Turk, and I believe both rulers were great in their own right. However, Suleiman displayed a bit more diplomatic finesse compared to his father. If we can overlook his decision to kill his son, Mustafa, which ultimately doomed the empire, Suleiman's achievements still stand out.

“the Turkic identity of the empire rapidly dropped off. By the sixteenth century "Turk" was more a term of abuse than one of approbation. "In the Imperial society of the Ottomans," says Bernard Lewis, "the ethnic term Turk was little used, and then chiefly in a rather derogatory sense, to designate the Turcoman nomads or, later, the ignorant and uncouth Turkish-speaking peasants of the Anatolian villages. To apply it to an Ottoman gentleman of Constantinople would have been an insult" (Lewis 1968: 1-2; see also 332-33).8 To be a "Turk" or "Turkish" was, to the educated inhabitants of the empire, to be "ignorant," "witless," "senseless," "stupid," or "dishonest." Turks were called "country bumpkins" and "mischief-makers"; they could also be deviants and heretics, such as those who rallied to the Safavid Shah Ismail in the sixteenth century, or those who rebelled against the central government in the seventeenth century (Imber 2002: 3; Finkel 2007: 548). In the face of this history of disparagement and ridicule it is not surprising that the Turkish nationalist Ziya Gökalp should exclaim that "the poor Turks inherited from the Ottoman Empire nothing but a broken sword and an old-fashioned plow" (quoted Armstrong 1976: 397). This is by no means the only case, as we shall see, when the ostensible "imperial people"-in this case the Turks -feel that they got a raw deal out of "their" empire. Not only were Ottomans not Turks; "Turk" and "Turkish" were themselves vague and shifting designations. There was no sense of nationhood among the backwoods peasants of Anatolia who were usually referred to as Turks. Their affiliations were to their village or clan, or to the wider community of Islam.”

I had to give a minor province to England to end the whole thing. What now? I need Normandy, but can't because of the English and Portuguese navies.

Although Mamluks proved the superiority of their cavalry many times, in this case, this is the result of Ottoman tactics, similar events also happened at Nicopolis, mohac, etc. The Ottoman center was made up of Azab troops, who were lightly armored and their main purpose was to draw the enemy troops in. Directly quoting from Wikipedia, Azabs constituted the majority of the foot soldiers of the Ottoman Army in Anatolia and performed duties such as ensuring the security of settlements and defending castles. Azabs were a constant part of Ottoman campaigns during the rise. Their duty in field battles was to stand at the front of the army center, ahead of the janissaries . The lightly equipped azab soldiers would make the enemy army think that the Ottoman center was weak, and this could lead to an attack towards the center where the sultan's brigade was located. If this expected attack took place, the azabs would shoot arrows at the enemy troops, trying to cause casualties during the advance and especially to disrupt the pure order of the enemy cavalry .

Selim was brutally efficent, despite his short reign of only 8 years he still quite possibly was the Ottoman sultan who achieved the most. Although one also can't ignore how he frequently implemented very bloody policies to get what he wants

What bloody policies?

@zgramzhnisk3036 2 ай бұрын

@@kalajari1749 Shortly before his battle with Shah Ismail at Chaldiran, as punishment for the earlier Shiite revolts Selim ordered many Shiite men within his domain killed. Now the estimate of 40k men massacred is usually seen as inflated by modern historians, who state that the contemporary tax records from the region don't record a significant drop in tax revenue that would have been caused by such a high death toll (amongst other arguments for the claimed deathtoll being inflated), however even if the numbers are exaggerated the fact that the massacre still happened remains. This wasn't the only case of Selim killing Shiites in his realm, as after his conquest of Syria he similarly killed some Shiite men in the region, many of them civilians

This video gives a good amount of context in the Ottoman-Safavid-Mamluk rivalry but completely ignores one of the major causes of the state of the Mamluks. There is a reason why the Mamluks held on in the 1490s war but were wiped out in one go in the 1510s. The major change between those dates was what happening in the south borders of the Mamluks. Portugal had arrived in the Indian Ocean and blockaded the Red Sea, depriving the Mamluk Sultanate of its major source of wealth: the indian ocean trade. Then at the battle of Diu in 1509 the Mamluks saw Portugal shattering an alliance of the major naval powers in the western indian ocean and got free to continue their blockade of the red sea and instead launching attacks on cities there. In this hour of financial collapse the Mamluks were forced to ignore the defence of the northern territories and to funnel money and expertise to make up some defenses in the until-then peaceful red sea coast.They had to resort to ottoman advisors which gave them a big intel on the military functioning and organisation of the Mamluk defenses. And again, this was done at the cost of the northern borders. Selim I was actually horrified how close Portugal was to the holy cities and the portuguese attack of Jeddah in the 1500s failed only because of adverse weather conditions. The danger of Portugal conquering Jeddah and then raiding Mecca or Medina from there was very real. So when the Ottomans went to war with the Mamluks in the 1510s the Mamluks were a shadow of their former power, and had been focused in a dire naval-economical fight in the south. When the ottoman forces arrived at Hejaz Jeddah was under siege by Portugal and the Mamluk forces in the region, officially being at war with the Ottomans, instead asked the Ottomans for help and helped make Portugal abandon the siege. Interestingly Portugal would be a useful pseudo-ally for the Safavids, especially after the Ottomans took Mesopotamia, as although they were enemies as Portugal had taken Hormuz the Safavids needed Portugal to deny the Ottomans a foothold in the indian ocean hegemony and with it creating a possible outflanking and economical strangling of the Safavid realm. It's fascinating how interconnected the world was already at that time with so many chess pieces being influential for so many others.

@HistoryMarche Friends, when you draw historical maps, be careful. For example, you are talking about the Circassian state (as the “Mamluk Sultanate” of the Burji dynasty was officially called) in Egypt and Syria, but on your map, in the Caucasus, you do not have Circassia at all. At this time, the Circassian states extended from the Black and Azov Seas to the Caspian Sea and from the Don to Elbrus. But, within the framework of your narrative, it is much more important that Circassia was the main recruiting base for replenishing the personnel of the military caste that then ruled the Circassian state in Egypt and Syria.
