On the one hand, even a single battle in something like the War of the Roses would kill more people than all princes killed under this rule. So you could make an argument that this was less bloody than leaving many branches of the royal family who could later claim the throne. On the other hand, you end up with princes growinf up in an environment where their closest kin must all be considered lethal threats, and a ruler who was the best at murdering his own relatives. One can imagine that does things to their mental state.

Generally speaking killing all those who could make a claim for the throne was the 2nd best option available for a prince because even if prince's brothers don't want the throne, discontent elements of society could proclaim one of them as their new sultan 1st best option would be to imprison all of them BUT this means that for the rest of your reign there will certainly be a few attempts to free them, so you'll hve to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your reign #be paranoid And surely paranoia is not a good thing for a king

The most insidious option would be to feign diplomacy, yet write into long legal frameworks the relinquishment of their claims to the throne.

[@gengis737]

Actually most reigning families in Europe could have succession without killing every siblings. Succession wars and murders were frequent in England, nearly non-existent in France. Problem with Osmanli was to have no elder rule, and to have scores of half-brothers due to the numerous concubines (wives were only 4). The killing rules gave the most ruthless leader, not the best one.

[@eddiek6390]

@@gengis737 Is there really a difference between the most ruthless and the best? A king is not all powerful, because his followers have to agree and there has to be powerful people the king delegates his power. A king can't stand alone. The person who can get the loyalty of the best troops, and implement the best plans is going to be the person who can run other parts of the state equally as well. It's why dictatorships always end in disaster, because the person in power has to keep the people under him happy, rather than the country happy, and often at the expense of the country they rule.

[@gengis737]

@@eddiek6390 I think that you explain the difference between ruthless and best better than me: the ruthless will bribe, make false promise, kill the more gifted. And get the throne in this game. The best would be chosen by his predecessor according to his abilities, sense of state, mental balance. Or simply, the leder would prevail, because a less than average king is much better than a succession war. The Osmanli rules created generations of psychotic and debauched rulers, the Empire only survived because of its combination of Turk militaries, Greek/Albanian administrators and engineers, Sunni population.

[@Legend-nu3gj]

As a Turk myself I'd like to add to the information given at 3:15. On Timur's Memluk Campaign the squabble had begun between two rulers, they've both literally traded barbs with one another, swearing at each other's wives, mothers and lineage and allegedly the Bayezid said that if any of them would not come to the battlefield their wives to be dismarried after the campaign Timur has first sent an ultimatum asking for the refugees (Kara Yusuf, Sultan Ahmet, ) that have fled from Timur's wrath after he conquered Syria and the vicinities on his earlier Memluk campaign (and the two was actually under the rule of Timurid Empire) and he also asked for Ottoman State to become one of his Vassals, and Bayezid to send one of his successors, to give Anatolian Beylik's back their territory, but the Sultan Bayezid sent him humiliating presents in return and the negotiations was officially ended. And also Timur knew that Bayezid was short-tempered, enthusiastic and powerful, so he has made his moves accordingly, eliminated the members of the defensive block (Memluk, Golden Horde), and he did not bury the whole populace, but to piss off The Ottomans and terrify the populace burned down the great city of Sivas and after his promising not to shed blood if they have surrendered, 4000 Armenian sipahi(castle defenders) that had successfully defended the city against him have surrendered and was buried alive and the Timur said: "I did not shed any blood"... And also they were not "outwitted by the enemy" but the Bey's betrayed Bayezid upon his taking their territory by force(cause he couldn't wait as I've said he was known to be short-tempered and actually fast as a thunderbolt) and Timur's promises to give it back, and on the battlefield even his sons have fled from the battlefield(because the dynasty would be extinct, they've all thought the same and eventually they've all fled) leaving him just by himself and with his Janissaries(palace guards for who doesn't know) he fought until the end and tried to escape at the last moment but that wasn't too successful...

The Turks have constantly been an imperial people. They have made a habit of empire building, and although none of their structures have attained the imposing dimensions of the Mongol achievement, many of them have been far more lasting. The maps show at least a dozen states of the first rank which have been constructed by Turkish peoples, and another dozen built by Turkish leaders, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a military aristocracy of their own race.

In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.

True, but still unlawful, cruel and idiotic in the long run.

[@TruthSeeker8834]

@@LinusIslamTips It was unlawful and cruel but definitely not idiotic in the long run. Ottoman empire is the prime example of this. When fratricide was present the empire was stable and growing. But after Sultan Ahmed broke the rule, the empire gradually declined. Though there were other reasons behind the decline but fratricide was definitely one of them.

@TruthSeeker8834 how many capable sultans got offed because of this practice? Wouldn't it be wiser to help their brothers catch and establish land of their own like the borders for example? So they would also act as a buffer and with help could expand furthermore?

[@historyrhymes1701]

It sure did . Don’t know about you but for me 600 years is quite long 😉

@@LinusIslamTipsLet’s ask the Frankish Empire and the Mongol Empire how that went. Spoiler- more often than not, you create succession crisis and an aristocracy that doesn’t respect centralized rule. The Ottomans during the 18th century were less reliant on strong sultans and more reliant on capable administrators who kept the machine ticking. Their worst crisis had more to do with the Janissary becoming corrupt and complacent than weak sultans.

[@mouthgames9199]

Considering that no one is still alive from the 16th century, doesn’t that make every title has 0% survival rate?

''Brutal'' and much more humane than what Europeans of the time did

[@serkangunduz9005]

Sultan Cem's grand grand grand sons and daughters still living some Europens cities.They are Succesful doctors architectures lawyer writers etc. Mehmed the Conqueror after capture İstanbul killed alot of Palegios and some other famous known surnamed Byzantian rulers ,strategos, children...because he did not want no one claim Roman Emperor title. I respect and love my great Sultan 2. Mehmed.He is true "İmperator Romanorum" like Turkish people .we are successor Roman Empire and Mongolian Empire.

[@arbiterelegantiarum]

what happens if you murder all your brothers, don't have a descendant yet, and you die? surely it happened in Ottoman history?

[@historyrhymes1701]

As far as my knowledge goes it didn’t happen. Most of the times when the ruling sultan died , his sons were already old enough and had fathered a couple of children
