@@fgvfgv5976Ahh yes, the 'real' friends of the Christians of the Balkans, like the Hungarians who were so anti -orthodox the Christians fought WITH the Ottomans against them because the 'muslim invaders' were much more tolerant to other Christians (and the Hungarians also massacred whole cities of their 'friends'), and the french who would kill whoever they wanted because they were the shining paragon knights of Europe who considered everyone else as 'peasants' or the Habsburgs who often had to put guards in their borders to stop their own people from migrating to the 'invaders' lands because they had better tax conditions, religious tolerance, and land opportunities. Buddy, the Ottomans did 1000 times more for the Christians of Balkans than European nations ever did and were much more tolerant of them. I believe that even the prime minister of Romania once said that had the hungarians conquered romania instead of the ottomans, Romanian identity might have been eradicated. While tragedies did occur, rule under Muslim lands was much better than the same 'real friends' you think so highly of. Maybe, instead of judging a nation based on religion. we should also look at their actions to see who were the better friends or enemies (true friends generally don't exist in politics, but you know what i mean)

Always interesting to think how much different things if at all could have gone in the Balkans if Skanderbeg or Vlad had gotten much broader support. These guys were intimately familiar with the Ottomans and knew how to fight them, not just a bunch of French Knights doing a suicide charge. They still seem important because they muddied things up and slowed the Ottomans down and gave the Venetians, Austrians and others more time.

[@SolidAvenger1290]

I agree highly with this; however, Netflix has an agenda to uphold that tends to ruin or taint the legacy of many significant historical figures (especially those who come from Western Civilization, etc.). The Ottoman show is good, but it has some historical flaws that omit some known facts (Ex, how Mehmed slaughtered close to 10,000 civilians around the Hagia Sophia church after breaching the Constinolople, which the show doesn't highlight/show except him saying that it will be a Mosque after omitting the fact that his Janissaries committed a massive massacre & rape of innocents) Like the Roman Empire series, which already had three seasons, many facts were blindly missed and ignored given how heavy-handedly they presented the story of Julius Ceaser, Caligula, Tiberius, Marcus Aurelius, and later Commodus.

I agree that didn't mention that there were mass killings and enslavements by the Janissaries but Mehmed didn't order on the contrary after the third day he got sick of dead and on the contrary he ordered the stop of enslavements and lootings. Because Ottoman army died in mass in sieges, because the defenders didn't accept most of the time the peaceful surrender offer at the beginning, it was considered their "sword and blood right". I know it does not look civilised, siege of jerusalem and 1204 sack of constantinople were way worse. Mehmed wanted Constantionople to be a multi ethnic and cultural city. He wanted raise both Greek, Genose, Jewish and Turkish population of the city.

He was taught how to fight in the Janissary corps, was partly Turkified having grown up in the Ottoman court; a sadist who loved lodging wooden steaks up sphincters, before being killed by Ottoman troops who had his severed head sent to Mehmed II, who displayed it for all to see on a pike in Anatolia. Despite intimate knowledge of Ottoman workings, his best idea was a cowardly raid on a tent, instead of lining his boys up for battle. He wasn't a great general like Hannibal, but a guerilla fighter. He was so beloved, that even his own brother stuck him in jail. His most outstanding achievement was in buying a house 🤣🤣 The only reason anybody bothers to learn about this ineffectual ruler is because a bored Englishman with too much time on his hands wrote a fictitious novel based on him

[@HittiteHorseArcher]

The personality of Mehmed II the Conqueror (1432-1481) is portrayed with considerable variations in the chronographies, the histories, and the multi- farious other texts that pertain to the conquest of Constantinople and to the establishment of the Turks as the dominant power in the Balkan penin- sula. Theologians saw in the young conqueror the new Sennacherib, the precursor of Antichrist who was to destroy the Church of Christ', while se- veral humanists, historians, and scholars adopted a milder and often am- bivalent attitude. They described the Turks as "Asiatic barbarians" who might destroy the ongoing rebirth of the Greco-Roman culture, but at the same time evidently reflecting the Renaissance concept of the ideal prin- ce-they did not hide their admiration for Mehmed's strong personality, his administrative ability, his religious tolerance, and his military genius. In this spirit they did not hesitate to connect him with the Classical tradi- tion and draw parallels between the young sultan and Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Sometimes Mehmed was even portrayed as an exemplary leader, a "philosopher king" surrounded by artists and men of letters, a prin- ce who divided his time between victorious campaigns and leisurely academic pursuits reaching so far afield as to embrace Greek and Latin literature.

So this mad chad vlad basically built what is now modern Romania and also its capital Budachrest what a legend .

We have saying in rhyme for betrayal of your own kind: who will who, than yours-own you (to betray). The Ottomans had little trouble from local Balcan population because people there are prone to betrial

So I see an error in the map, Albania was not fully controlled till 1468.

After over a decade of watching history youtube stuff. I now give any of my friends or family interested in the subject HistoryMarche as my first recommendation, perhaps tied only with historia civilis for both a high level view of the situation, and ability to convey the story and information to non-experts in a way they can parse without simplifying so much that it essentially becomes false to an extent. Anyways keep up the good work and Thank you, and all the supporters for allowing this content to exits!

After Vlad was captured, his head was cut off and his head was paraded all around Constantinepol.

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode shared by an amazing ( history Marche) channel...episode about infamous whealchias. The Vlad, the impaler (prince) struggled to preserve Whelchias' independence & and temporarily strengthened Whelchia 1455-1460....confronted Ottoman empire Sultan ( MamadII ) through Gureella warfares...

12:40 Since Dacian times⁉️ You mean Roman times brother, _Vlach_ is an exonym for Romanians meaning "People speaking in the tongues of the Romans".

[@floflo8461]

Dacian you noob,Dacia was never conquered,only 20%.This thing with romans and latin language is false,show me on paper how the latin languages was formed:),i tell you you will not find😂

[@InAeternumRomaMater]

@@floflo8461 Bahaha, what a dacopath baha. Trajan conquered in fact 90% of the entire Dacia, destroying the population entirely in 105-106 ad. Eutropius writes that Dacia was repopulated entirely by Romans from across the Empire. In 117 AD, Hadrian abandoned much of the territories acquired by Trajan, hence you say "20%" but you don't even realise that you are confusing the two phases of Roman Dacia (the one from 106-117, and the other 117-271). Theories of the origin of the Old Latin language (the one spoken before Classical Latin), is the Aetolian origin theory. Which argued that Latin was a Greek dialect from Aetolic, which Aeneas spoke when he came to _Latium Antiquum._ That's one, however linguistical research argues that Latino-Faliscian came from Proto-Italic which was formed from PIE language language around 11th century BC‼️We still have surving writing's and inscriptions from the Old Latin language which enabled the linguists to conclude an origin from Proto-Italic steeming from PIE💯😁 Salut din Oltenia👏🏻

@@InAeternumRomaMater the latin didn’t come form italy,and under ocupation they stayed 165 years,only to exploits the regions with gold and salt.After Trajan’s death the Dacians attack every 2-3 years some regions and you say they were destroyed😂.If it is like this why the greeks doesn’t speak latin or the jews who stayed under roman rule 300-400 years? how can someone under occupation forget their language and take the latin? they came to take resources nothing more,you think dacian women’s was kind with invaders and opened their legs? how can you believe this if you don’t have a proof?

Vlad probably should be recognized as one of the great generals of his time. He only failed, because he counted on ezternal support that never came. The Hungarians were the true villaina of Vlad's tale.

[@عليياسر-ك9ظ]

He lost because he was torturing his people and because he was stupid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@icannotfinda]

Muslim Detected. He was no idiot; and he tortured men who weaken his state.

WE FOUND THE R-WORD MUSLIM LOVER! Vlad defeated Mehmet II multiple times, with less men and less resources.
