The Janissaries Revolt | Magnificent Century

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

Over time the Janissaries became a major liability for the Empire but when Mahmoud II finally destroyed them a little over three centuries later, it was too late for the Empire to catch up with the West.

Over time sultans got dumber They didn't invest in modern science

[@iDeathMaximuMII]

​@@shivamkukreja1991The Janissaries were a big reason for that until Mahmud II dealt with them. But as OP says, it was too late. The Ottomans tried numerous times to modernize, but the west developed faster.

Giving bodyguards like the Janissaries or the praetorian guard to much power never ends well.

[@anneharton5013]

Janissaries have too much idle time and power. In the end, they broke the empire.

Nice to see Hurrem and Mahidevran protecting each others children

Mustafa Agha does give awesome speeches. He would have been a great general if he had stayed loyal.

[@Brin_Londo]

Ayaz Pasha was always good for nothing, no wonder, he tended to hide under Hurrem's skirt. Fitting his end was brought by Shah-e-Khuban Sultan, the daughter of Ayesha-Hafza Sultan, that was the most like her. Also, love these neutral scenes of Mahidevran. Nur Fettahoglu portrayed the elegance of Melike Mahidevran Sultan perfectly.

Throughout the history of Turkic people, they always cut their own relatives neck whether it is son or father .

[@Beorthere]

The Ottoman Empire never fully recovered from the Janissary Revolt.

[@BlueSkyCountry]

Humayun seems to be a very common name in Turkey, India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The name must have reached India during the Delhi and Mughal rule who were also Turkic.

[@NixonRules963]

Encouraging the Janissaries to attack the Sultan's family was really crossing the line. Suleiman might have been able to forgive their outburst of rioting and looting, but to threaten his family? There was never going to be forgiveness for such a crime.

Hatice just had to fall down the stairs right 🤦🤦

[@hurremsultanas]

Yes. And I think the stairs become symbolic of her trauma later on.

@@hurremsultanas Oh, true! She continually runs up and down them in some of her more prophetic dreams.

[@hurremsultanas]

@@Redluna32 Yeah. It's interesting and it goes to show how this trauma affected her.

The First Red Army Were the Janissaries😊👌

[@agorist.boogaloo]

That's what happens when you have a standing army, they're not there to defend, rather they seek conflict and want to invade other lands to acquire profit... 😢

[@krimtok8384]

That's what happens when you kidnap Christian children and turn them into janissaries.

Mahidevil has the ring of hurrem sultan again.... Lol

[@ΔημΣΚ-ο7η]

How dare they do that!!!

[@Redluna32]

I mean, I'll fully own that part of the reason why ruling in the Ottoman Empire sounds so terrifying to me sometimes is that, yeah, the Janissary Corp *could* just do this. (Which, of course, came to play a *huge* role in Mustafa's execution, but you already know that bit.)

[@ΔημΣΚ-ο7η]

@@Redluna32 yea

[@GÖKBÖRÜCCC]

because they are an army not to joke around if your are not an dominant and qonquering leader. which is the reason they revolt they want war :)))

Hürrem didn't throw Hatice down the stairs. Where on Earth did you come up with that?
