[@MalayArcher]

Hello guys, I'm the co-creator of this Ottoman mini-series. I just wanted to say that it is a pleasure to re-work and bring back our Ottoman series from a long hiatus. In this extended version, we’ve added the first battle of Diu and another long extension of the African front which covers the War of the 3 Kings and the decisive battle of Ksar-el-Kebir. For those linguists out there and curious about the text at 51:00 , it is actually Osmanlıca and Malay written in Arabic script which roughly translates “Selam arkadaşlarım” and “Salam saudara jauh” which literally means “Greetings my fellow friends/brothers.” Just a tiny bit of easter egg for Turkish and Malaysian/Indonesian viewers out there. As usual here are the Attila mods which we used in this video: -Medieval MK1212 -1529-War of Gunpowder -reShade -Aztec lighting -Portuguese mod (Shogun 2) Best wishes, ڤمنه ملايو

[@SpectruMetaL]

@@YourNationalist Im living with my Armenian neighbour in İstanbul. My rental apartment that I living in now, its owner is Armenian too. Hundred thousands Armenian are still living in Turkey. Even in those "genocide" days, they lived. You don't understand, but during the war, Armenians lived in many parts of Anatolia and they started to gang up with the nationalist movements due to Russian influence. While in the middle of the war with the West, internal turmoil behind the front would destroy the country. That's why "only" Armenians in places where there was no garrison were exiled en masse. The Armenians in other places were not touched. In the Ottoman archive records, there are also name documents for all of them. Even special documents have been prepared for many Armenians. Because reliable Armenians who were in the region of exile and were assigned in the state or registered in the merchant guild were not wanted to be exiled. Turkey has always been a multinational structure and Armenians have always been a nation that sees the right in this structure. You cannot understand this because you are very unfamiliar with the Ottoman and Turkish history. If you really want to be objective, please research and read about Armenian Gang activities in Turkey. It was a bitter solution that had to be done to break the Russian influence. But genocide is a completely different claim. Even an insult. Genocide, as the name suggests, means trying to destroy a race. In those days, Armenians were deported to Syria, Iraq, Armenia, but they were also deported to regions in western Turkey. They were even sent to Istanbul. The aim was only to disperse an internal rebellion by sending those in the uncontrolled area in the middle of Anatolia to the controlled areas. Not all Armenians were rebels or gang members, but we are talking about the 1900s. You don't know who is who. Mass exile was the only solution during the war. In addition, the fact that there are still so many Armenians living in the country where a genocide took place, the fact that those deported settled and lived in the deported regions, and the fact that those who were exiled to Armenia went to Armenia, who are those who died? There were also many clashes and attacks during a massive exile. Things like this were normal back then. The disappearances are due to the problems in this exile process and their numbers and the events and losses are recorded in historical documents. Yes, we exiled them to different places and under the conditions of that day we had to. It is unfortunately possible for such painful events to occur while an empire is falling apart and huge world wars have begun. Genocide allegations are taken very seriously in our country, and that's why almost everyone constantly researches, reads and discusses this issue. There are even hundreds of government officials convicted for not performing their duties well enough during exile, and there are court records. Look, these records are not newly produced laundering studies, they are documents recorded during the events in the 1910s. At that time, no one even needed to prepare such documents for an event that no one could even hold accountable for. There was even a real and systematic genocide in the 1940s. In other words, even years later, events such as the genocide were not considered as valuable as they are today. These are not very distant dates. If the places chosen for exile from Turkey after the Ottoman Empire were still within the borders of Turkey, they would not even have been sent out of the country. After the borders changed, those people were deleted from our population and the Armenian diaspora started to describe everyone who came out of the Turkish population as "killed" as an exaggerated number. They're talking about millions. +++

In the USA we have a massive blind spot for history relating to the Portuguese and Ottomans, so this history of their contest in the Indian Ocean was a great introduction. The history of the Spanish in the Americas is much more familiar, yet this points to how contingent and interconnected these histories are. Somewhat ironic, I think, that the walls of Constantinople stood unassailable for 1,000 years until the Ottoman's arrived with new and superior artillery, taking the City and disrupting the trading routes of the silk road. The fall of Constantinople not only forced Europe to catch up in cannon tech, but led Portugal to seek sea routes to the spice trade of the Indies. This lead to new sailing ships equipped with new cannons, causing havoc for the Ottomans. And the Portuguese dominance of the route around Africa caused Spain to seek a different route to the East by sailing West, resulting in the accidental "discovery" of the Americas.

[@joaoconchilha2231]

[@alexanderryan1176]

[@Dave_Sisson]

It seems there were different approaches. The Portuguese concentrated on gaining fortified trading posts (or "factories") and perhaps some of their hinterland. While the Spaniards (and later the British), preferred to conquer huge areas and hold them as giant colonies. Of course there were exceptions such as Brazil, but some of the trading posts remained Portuguese until India annexed Goa in 1975, Indonesia took East Timor in the same year and China got Macau in 1999.

[@abelsoo5465]

The Ottomans, by expanding the frontier of their empire, also expanded the list of enemies they have to fight. The List of Enemies outside their Empire: Habsburg monarchy, Portugal, Russia, Safavid Persia, Wahabi from central Arabia and then finally Britain and France during WW1. The List of Enemies within their Empire : Greek, Slavic, Bulgarian, Armenian , Macedonian, Arab and even Turkish rebels. Due to military threats from within and without , coupled with political intrigue at court, it's no wonder why some Ottoman sultans just absconded their stressful governing responsibilities to their Grand Viziers and retreat into a life in the harem with all kinds of vices as a form of escapism.

You are correct that especially mainstream history portrayals of the ottoman empire's indian expeditions are only briefly mentioned with some key events, and in school textbooks , the failure against the portuguese is depicted as an indirect win, since the red sea fell in ottoman control. And the cause of the failure of the expeditions are simply seen as a shipwrighting error, the ships were not adequate in design for ocean warfare. Which is a very lazy way of justifying the failure. But as years pass, more and more historians lean to the details of the subject, much like Ottoman expeditions to Italy.

[@christophermesquita1147]

​@goncalonunes3203 a big part as to why the portuguese managed to maintain those colonies was because portugal rarely conquered in land they would hold islands or cities on the coasts. They used politics and commerce with the surrounding nations that were friendly to their colonies and would viciously snuff out any opposed or create instability in their enemy's with spys. A difference between portugal and other Colonial powers was the difference in views of race. In the portugese empire any man could be noble or a slave.

To make Alcácer-Quibir even more devastating, I want to add that King Sebastian was very young. He ascended to power at age 14 and died at age 24 without an heir - or, well, presumed dead, his body never turned up, leading to the myth that he would return to Portugal, in a day of heavy fog, at the nation's greatest time of need.

If you take into consideration the demographics of Portugal, the fact that the treaty was never recognized by the remaining Christian Nations (or enforced by the pope), and that a huge chunk of the Portuguese navy and army was in the Grand Armada, including the Armada's flagship. The command of said Armada, was not. It was a Spanish command. Not to mention that after the end of the Iberian Union, in 1640, Portugal was at war with France, the Netherlands, Spain, the Ottomans, the Indian Sultanates, and Rajas. Ah, and the Portuguese and Spain wars, (including Castille, Galicia, Leon, and the subsequent unions and alliances ), spanned well over 600 years. Portugal went to war with whom Nations normally go to war with - Their neighbors. And the strategic position that you mention looks good now, when you know the whole world and how to get to other lands. At the time, Portugal was literally in the end of the world, on the edge of the Mediterranean and Atlantic trade. It was a rural and impoverished nation. That necessity resulted in the traveling and conquests that followed in the 15th century. It was the same necessity that drove the Norseman to the same end. The Portuguese Empire did wither away, but the reasons, my friend are stronger than the advantages/challenges that you point out. And the main one is very likely, a succecion of terrible leadership from a Monarchy that grew very accustomed to having extended land overseas and fail to look within to realize that the country was not just the King's Court and Lisbon and the rest of the Kingdom, simply a ground for recruiting troops, settlers and growing their food. Portugal withered because it failed to invest in its people and infrastructure. No country can live of churches and shipbuilding alone. And when the shipbuilding ends, you're left with only churches.

Congratulations on this excellent documentary about the "Golden Age of the Portuguese Empire" (of which Brazil is one of the consequences and which we Brazilians know so little about). A suggestion: if possible, make subtitles available in Portuguese, Turkish, Greek and Indi (it would be of great help for people influenced by the Portuguese and Ottoman Empires to learn more about this important and decisive conflict, as well as its consequences). Just for a brief example: in Brazil, the death of Don Sebastião de Avis in the Battle of Alcacer Quibir is seen as a mad adventure by a foolish young monarch in Moroccan lands (and not as a consequence of the geopolitical dispute between rival empires).

This made me look at history differently. We were taught at school briefly about Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama's travels to India and Portugal's involvement in spice trade, but that was it. Now I can finally see what the sentence in the history book about the Ottomans having seized the spice trade previously meant. And now I can see that the Ottoman Empire was not only a passive observer of the European colonial powers in the mainland, but also participated in the power struggles with them in the Indian Ocean too. Considering their geographical position, it is natural that the Ottomans didn't join the colonisation of the Americas. It would have made more sense to colonise in the Indian Ocean, especially along East Africa and India. However, the Portuguese resistance and other factors prevented them from doing so. Controlling the Mediterranean was probably another important factor, as the Ottomans had to conquer the Eastern parts of Mediterranean and the northern regions of Africa. As the straits of Gibraltar were surrounded by Portugal, Spain and Morocco, all potentially hostile powers, the Ottomans could not partake in the colonisation of the Americas. The conquest of Morocco could have served that goal, which might have been one of the attractions for trying to do so, alongside control of the Mediterranean, weakening their enemies and restoring the Umayyad caliphate's former borders. The Ottoman Empire was also primarily a land-based empire, not a naval colonial project, and administrated in this manner. Portugal, Spain, France and England, major powers surrounded by sea used their colonial empires to project their power in internal struggles when it was hard to expand their empire in the mainland. They had fewer enemies to fight along their land borders. Their access to the sea was unhinged by any intermediate power and thus they were more free to dominate the oceans.

[@maragolihistory2118]

The thing is, all these wars to date started when the Ottomans aka Abassyd caliphate established a rulership in East Africa and Iraq to Yemen with headquarters in Oman. The problem started when the Ottomans begun to attack Abbysinians Lalibela and Aksum for Biblical artifacts and then selling them as their own in Byzantine and at Constantinople. By 1300 Abbysinians from Aksum sent it's ambassador to Spain and Portugal to establish political friendship. They taught them about Biblical history of East Africa and invite them to visit and confirm everything. At the time European were also fighting against Islam and were blocked by the Islamic traders from coming into East. The European didn't take them seriously so they didn't come to East until Ethiopians sent a long letter commonly known as "Prester Juan" Juan is a Germanic name for John. In the letter, they described that they're the oldest Church in the world and housing ancient Artifacts of the 12 tribes who were pushed further South by Somalis and Turks, that they themselves rule over the 12 tribes from a far distance, the 12 tribes who are just below their lands in Forests. They requested Germanic rulers to come to their aide as Ottomans had established a treaty with Ajuran Somalis to steal Biblical manuscript and the two were actively involved in selling the twelve tribes into slavery. Mainly selling them to Southern india and Iraq's Basra. The Germans would quietly send mercineries and top spies from Spain and Portugal. the first four fleet never made it through the cape of Good Hope (South Africa) but Vasco Da Gama successfully made it in 1400s. After reaching Goa, Vasco Da Gama established treaties and had left spies in all his stops along the East African coast. On his return, he picked up his spies back on board although some didn't survive. Those who made it via Malindi, Sofala told Vasco Da Gama that they were able to spy East Africa and saw no white Jews in Africa but Black people like West Africans. Vasco Da Gama went back and told European that the Indians told him that the only Jews they knew were very dark skin and came from East Africa. The Romans Catholic and Germans heard these News, they were very disappointed. Because they were expecting to find "White Jews." But discovery of more black people especially below Abbysinians frightened Germans because they were already teaching about "white Jews" and white Jesus through out Europe. After Vasco Da Gama conquest,more spies were sent like Kraft In the 1800s when Germans and Britain would again sent missionaries spies to find the white lost Jews below Abbysinians. But no white Jews were ever found but black Africans who claim to have migrated from Senna,Misri and Aksum. Things would became even ugliar when Abbysinians would begun showing ancient Biblical artifacts that showed ancient Hebrew's as Negus. From that, British Royal Geography Society would sent a spie by the name John Hannington Speke and his commander Mr Burton, and John Speke would again reaffirm And confirm from the Indians Puranas Sanskrit books and Hindu historians and from Arabs and Cushites that the only religious tribes known to have migrated from Yemen to interior of Africa were indeed black, majority had become savage's Walked around naked and established important trade hubs in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Western Kenya and elsewhere. John Hannington Speke would return to Britain to expose these only to be assassinated before he could provide his evidence before The British Geography Society commission. Burton his counterpart would be paid to go back alone and change history to what you know today of East Africa. Germans, Brits, Greeks and Ethiopians would then dig Suez canal to block Turks from ever reaching or migrating again to Africa. And from that the ottomans and Islamic power came to and end. Germans bombed the Oman's sultan in East Africa, chased away all Arabs back to Middle East and British created countries with Nilotes and Cushites as the Armies that protect and hide everything for good. Now you know!!!!.

@@MELO-u8p Indeed, exactly what I meant. And this can be applied to modern dat. Why does Russia want to control Crimea and Ukraine? To control the Black Sea. Why is China so keen on expanding their influence in Western Pacific, and seeking to conquer Taiwan? For the same reason, to oppose US hegemony. (If they could, they'd like to control Straits of Malacca and Indonesia too). And for this same reason, USA maintains naval bases and allies South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia in the Pacific Sphere.

Loving for these videos, never see such documentaries like such on youtube rather ad related or gaming related, these are full of the knowledge which needed for a normal high school student. For everyone, the history is important since they related to that

Are you referring to production value, geographic area coverage, or time period, or subject matter? Because there are a few out there. Baz Battles SandRoman History Invicta History Marche Scolagladiatora (more individual weapon-based) Lindybeige (British man talking into a camera talking about how Britain is the greatest thing since before tea, and occasionally about Roman and Greek history) Those are a handful that I grabbed off my subscriptions.

King Sebastian’s death and the subsequent Hapsburg takeover was so tragic to Portugal that many still held to the belief that he had survived and would one day return to reclaim the throne and make the kingdom independent from Spain once again, as his corpse was never found. This whole idea at some point ended up getting some mythical status and mingling up with common old folk tales of dormant kings that await to return to their land in a time of hardship, such as King Arthur in Avalon. Some really clinged to this idea, and this legend was even evoked when the time came for the Portuguese to fight to break away from the Spanish Crown. Oddly enough, as late as the early 20th century there was this notion in Brazil among certain provincial anti-republic movements that King Sebastian would return to restore the then recently abolished monarchy in Brazil.

As a Portuguese I have to congratulate you for the long and informative video. Just add that the religious aspect had a fundamental role in the politics and motivation of the armed forces and that a large part of the Portuguese nobility did not support the little king of Portugal (18 years old) in the battle of Alcácer Quibir (battle of the 3 kings), he was motivated by the court of Portugal through religious fervor. In the end Portugal suffered too much and almost ended its empire with the Dutch trying to keep the Portuguese possessions in India and China and Brazil and being ruled by three reigns of Spanish kings.

Ottomans were big help for the somali to maintain their culture and dignity. I know u used mostly ethiopia or Portuguese sources for this video that's why the adalites seem like the aggressors but pre- ottoman arrival Ethiopian empire tried it's best to conquer the somalis sultanate, they managed to destroy and assimilate other cushitic brothers like the muslim states of Hadiya and Dawaro. The oromo invasion was brutal and effectivly wiped out the southern cushites.
