  5. it's quite ironic how, while this battle should have been the end of the Ottomans, their empire ended up enduring for another 500 years, while the Timurids collapsed barely a century after the battle. It shows that while military prowess can conquer an empire, a stable government and functional institutions are required for it to survive.

  6. The reason for the betrayal of the Anatolian Turkish lords was Beyazıt's murder of Yakup Çelebi (Bayezit's brother) immediately after the First Kosovo War. This was very dishonorable. Because Yakup Çelebi went after the remains of the war. Anatolian Turkish principalities did not forget this situation and always opposed Beyazıt. For this reason, Beyazıt quickly suppressed the Anatolian principalities.

  7. Content top class as always. Great battle and very balanced (clash of two titans of their day). I would love to see both Ottoman sieges of Vienna on here. Greetings from Serbia.

  8. It was very engaging and interesting. I doubt that the elephants caused the ground to tremble. The poor animals must have been terrified; hence, it didn't surprise me at all that the few surviving ones broke and fled.

  9. Beyazid could not even spot timur's elephant army on his own territory and had to go back, such was Timur's genius chess player. This cheeky Ottoman amateur lost the battle

  10. I wish Serbs didnt waste the greatest military power they ever had in the history of Serbian nation with and against the Ottomans in the most stupid way possible most of the time. And all that in only 30 years period, Serbians went from one of the strongest armies in the world and empire to complete shit hole of backwards land of slaves. If Ottomans werent so crazy strong i bet Serbians would have been one of the greatest empires of Europe for long time and the history of the Europe would have looked completely different. But hat of to Ottomans what a nation.

  11. While it may be tempting to admire these two men as brilliant and capable leaders, in the end, I don't. They were monsters of history, unleashing death, destruction, and misery on an untold scale. Imperialists like these are forever the enemy of all those of us who simply wish to live our lives in peace and freedom. Someday, perhaps, our species will learn not to follow such men.

  12. As seen here; Ottomans were founded as Turkish but evolved as a Balkaneer state. The state itself ruled by the people from Balkans for centuries especially after the conquest of Constantinople by the Mohammad II. He successfully managed the transition of the state by eliminating Turkish elites and replacing all with Balkaneers.
    Classical age of the Ottomans were all the way Balkan. That's why soldiers from Balkans fought to the bitter end but Turkish people switched side whenever they found a chance to do so 😊

  13. Best battle and the best battle presentation i have ever seen. Truly a masterpiece . horse archers heavy armored serbian cavalry , treason ,janissaries and , war elephants. İt has everything and all combined. With also two of the best kings of that time . Both shown god like military leadership . Move against a move .

    As a turkish İ ve read and watched this battle before , but this time i truly understand the importance of it
