Ottoman Wars: Battles of Otranto 1480 and Chaldiran 1514 DOCUMENTARY

In this animated historical documentary video, we will cover the battles of Breadfield (Câmpul Pâinii 1479), Krbava (1493), Chaldiran (1514) and the siege of Otranto (1480), as the Ottoman Wars both in Europe and Asia are ramping up, this time against Hungary, Croatia, Naples and the Safavids of Ismail I.
Previously in our animated historical documentary series on the Ottoman Wars, we have covered the battles of Kosovo (bit.ly/2JI3F0p), Nicopolis (bit.ly/2zUNRre), Ankara (bit.ly/2uW7r0D), Varna (bit.ly/2JIK2VG), Second Kosovo, Constantinople (bit.ly/2uELWlI), Belgrade, Targoviste and Otlukbeli (bit.ly/2JOBlcQ), Vaslui, Valea Alba (bit.ly/2C9Cm0l) and Skanderbeg's rebellion (bit.ly/2BYMYgW). But the Ottomans continued their expansion in the next decades.

Show notes! 0. Slight mistake with Chaldiran - should be further to the Northeast. 1. Let's talk about Iran. A few of our viewers expressed their concerns that we only portray the losses of this culture. Although it is true, it is not deliberate. If you know the history of Iran, you know that there are many great victories there, yet, details of many of these victories are lost. Ismail I is a good example - he was probably the most important historical figure in Iran since Cyrus and we know that he won at least 4 massive battles, while being outnumbered 2 and 3 to 1, against the Akkoyunlu, Shaybanids, and Shirvanshahs, yet the only detailed battle of his career is Chaldiran. In any case, we will rectify this situation down the line, as the battles of Nader Shah will be covered within this series in 2019. 2. We don't care about the ethnicities of the historical figures. Ismail, for instance, had Turkic, Greek and Georgian heritage, but that doesn't matter. He considered himself the Shahanshah of Iran, and so he should be accepted as such. The easiest example is the British royal dynasty. While they are of the German descent, they are British. 3. Breadfield has a different depiction in some of the sources, as they claim that the Hungarians stacked their center and that allowed them to break the Ottoman center. When the sources are conflicted like that, you often need to use logic and common sense. In this case - we know that the Ottomans stopped raiding Transylvania for a few decades, as they lost most of their border troops in the area. But if their loss came due to the fact that their center was smashed, then their wings would have been able to retreat with a relative ease, and they had the akinjis (light raiders) on the wings. Again, that doesn't mean that the other source is invalid. 4. If you have extra income, 1$ a month on Patreon (www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals) would help us immensely - we have many plans and every little bit helps. If you don't want to have a recurring payment, Paypal is an option - www.paypal.me/kingsandgenerals In any case, we appreciate your support, thank you!

[@hedgehog3180]

The Ottomans really were masters of early gunpowder warfare. Time and time again they utilize gunpowder weapons effectively, either to secure a devestating victory or to turn the tide of battle.

[@ohamatchhams]

@Bingo Duff Holy shoot, what the frick are you talking about He's just talking about Ottoman Army's proficiency with gunpowder weaponry and you bring "white victims" including to those of those pesky Cosmopolitan white liberals and "Islamo-Nazis" (or whatever the frick you want to entails)? Are your brain cortex really alright in the first place?

[@costas1032]

@Bingo Duff it's simple , the Islamic caliphate or state or whatever you want to name it spread through war and conquest but Islam itself as riligon spread through many ways like trade , enter marriage , forced conversion was very rare and it was never a state policy for any Islamic state , for example the Levant didn't become majority muslim until the 12th century, Persia didn't become majority muslim until 3 centuries after the arab conquest. the myth of forced conversion is a load of crap that's being spread by crazy right wingers and white nationalists using outdated sources written by orintalists with a superiority complex during the colonial era . by the way comparing muslim conquest with colonialism is dumb and using what happend in otranto to bash Islam is even dumber . It's usually the one how acuses all those how disagree with him of being racist is the racist himself . you should relax dude and get educated by searching through unbiased work done by actual historians not bigoted right wingers with zero qualification on the subject but their own biased view

[@costas1032]

@Bingo Duff actually I'm not a leftist I had the far left as mush as I hate right because I'm an islamist (not a terorists) . what evil did you expose you moron all what you did was yaping about the usual insecure right wing conspiracy theoriey about haw the left hate the white men and blames everything on him and all of that crap , you didn't discuss any of my argument you just jumped on and associated me with the far left .

[@costas1032]

@Bingo Duff what long worthless paragraph , well guess what I'm from Algeria and if you know wher that is you would know that I have nothing to do with antifa since I'm a muslim and I get my history from unbiased and well documented sources so don't worry about me . my country witnessed both the French colonialism that killed 8 million of my people and sacked thousands of villages during the span of 130 years no conquering nation in the history of north Africa did that much damage , and after the independence we wher filled by socialists who bankrupted us and and caused a 10 years civil war that claimed the life of 250000 people because they didn't like it when islamist won the elections (so much for the so called democracy) . European colonialism is thing and it happend and caused a lot of damage and pointing it out is not racism and you are right every nation committed atrocities but the europeans took it to a hole New level.

[@costas1032]

@Bingo Duff my ancestors enslaved 1.5 million from the 16th to the 18th century while the frensh killed 8 millions of us how morally bankrupted to compare the enslavement of less then 2 millions to what can be considered a genocide that claimed the life of 8 million people, by the way when the French conquered Algeria the piracy was already stoped since it started to decline in the early 19th century and our naval fleet was already destroyed in the battle navarino 1827 which means the barbary states wher not a threat anymore . as for the American slaves , the Mediterranean at that time was under our control and the refused to pay the trebuitte for passage so they got what was coming to them , by the didn't the Americans defeat us in 1815 which means we are even . by the way you have to work on better ways to justify genocide .

And they werent all had to become soldiers. They were selected considering their abilities. Like the strong big children were soldiers where as the smart ones were selected in the higher ranks. They were taught everything like Turkish , Islam and other things. They only couldnt be one thing and that was the sultan. They could of even became the vezir as there was. Must say as these boys were "yeniçeri" and they were the closest to the sultan and they all loved the sultan so even if they were slaves they could of easily killed the sultan and smash the empire.

Hhaanvic empire was persian. also the Ottoman empire might have been established by a ruler of supposed turkic origins like Osman I, but he was caucasian looking, he established a multi ethnic and multireligious empire and only the Ottoman identity was used, never the term '' turk'', actually it was considered offensive. For example , 4 out of 5 main families in the Ottoman Empire, in the first 100 years of existence were Christian converts. 48 Grand Veziers were Albanian

[@4Destan]

@@gjinbueshpata4239 Thats what albanians claim, but everybody in that time-era called the ottoman empire, the Turkish empire. The term ottoman empire is created by historians just like the term byzantine empire for the east-Roman empire. The army was mostly Turkish or at least turkic of ethnicity, except the jannisaries who only had Turkish culture and language teached to them but were ethnically diverse. The upper-class of the Turkish-Empire called the state: "Devleti - Aliye"

And selim revolutionized the top arabacılar (artillery transport and war wagons) corps by mixing artillery and war wagons in the center in front of the janissaries and behind he azab screen with cavalry flanks. but that's it.

Having a succession crisis while fighting external wars at the same time was such a feat.

Balkan Stoka Ottomans had more important jobs than sibenik like belgrade and budin. Sibenik was small and poor city in that era.

Majority of Croatians nobles wanted ambush Ottoman army in hills near Krbava river, but general Emerik Derencin wanted open battle because it was more honorable way to win. Defeat at Krbava marks begining of 100 years without victory against Turks. Finally something about Croatia, although it is defeat. Can't wait for next episode and battle at Sisak and hopefully mention of Siget.

[@KingsandGenerals]

Yep, those will be covered.

[@yarpen26]

Medieval and Renaissance-era chivalry may stand at the foundations of today's West liberalism and humanitarianism... but holy shit, did they _not_ help in battle. And it's not like the Ottomans were anything new: the disastrous performance of the Polish and Hungarian armies against the Mongols several centuries prior was primarily due to the former's "Do you want to live forever? CHAAAAARGE!" attitude. Had anyone just calmed the fuck down and analyzed the enemy's tactic to learn how to counteract it, hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.

Ismail is quite an interesting man. He was a Greek, Kurdish, Georgian, Turkic descent who wrote beautiful poems in Azerbaijani Turkish, wanted to be more like Persian rulers, whilst ruling over an empire that stretched from India to Anatolia. Mr. International, before it was cool

[@TheFiresloth]

These traditions of poetry among muslim leaders are very interesting. Do you know if there's a way to read their works ?

[@darknesslight9630]

Some roots of safavid were kurdish.also some roots were georgian and afther shah abbas 1 they also had persian wife. But mostly safavid were azeri. But their empire was persian (culture , main language of people, official language ,persian capitals after tabriz , persian art , persian shah=king ,persian names like tahmasb ... )

[@bilgeturkkan6095]

@@darknesslight9630 The army was Turkmen (Turkic), the royal woman in the Safavid Empire used a Turkic title (Khanum), so that's not a good argument, also the Turkic language was used as court language until the reign of Shah Abbas. Shah İsmail wrote 1400 of his poems in Turkic, only 50 in Persian. He became shah because he was the grandson of Uzun Hasan (another Turkic ruler), and gained the support of the Turkmen soldiers. At the start the Safavids were clearly Turkic, but slowly they Persianized
