Rest of the world was playing eu4 while the ottomans were playing hoi4

The fact The Ottoman Empire has the crescent moon facing East while the empire they’re conquering has it facing West

The Mamluks death sentence was signed when they lost the Indian Ocean spice trade to the Portuguese, they had to raise taxes so much that rebellions and dissent became all too common.

Forgot the part where Sultan Selim 1 was the first person since Alexander the Great to have crossed the Sinai desert with his army. A feat which even the mongols could not achieve

"Courage leads a man to victory, in determination to danger, and in cowardice to death." -Selim I

Simple, because the Ottomans had Conquer Egypt casus belli, and the appropriate event triggered.

I feel as though part of this is misleading. The Mamluk heavy cavalry was probably better than the Ottomans. The Mamluks may have recruited peasants, but much of the Ottoman force were Ghazis and irregular cavalry. Maybe not "peasants" per se, but not disciplined warriors by any stretch. The Ottomans core force (though not the largest part, by any strecth) were the Janissaries and Sipahi (heavy cav). The Ottomans defintely had more guns and firepower, but that was only the artillery and the Janissaries. The video makes it seem like the Ottomans were fully equiped with firearms, but both sides used bows, lances and other melee weapons. The Janissaries were maybe 7100 (on paper) out of the 60,000ish Ottoman troops. So, firearms ddefinitely played a major role in these battles.

Yavuz Sultan Selim heaped the treasury of the Ottoman Empire and it was sealed with his imperial seal. Then he testamentized that whoever any of a sultan on his descendance could fill the treasury more than that he did, then he would have had the treasury sealed with his own seal. The treasury of the Ottoman Empire was kept to be seal with the Yavuz Sultan Selim's seal for 405 years up untill its official end in 1922.

The Mamluk sultanate is the sultanate of slaves. During the Ayyubid sultanate, Kipchak Turkics and Circassians, brought as slaves from the north of the Black Sea and the Caucasus, were included in the army and took over the government by making a palace coup against the Ayyubid sultanate. One of the commanders of the Mamluk army, usually the head of the Mamluk sultanateit would pass. By stopping the Mongol advance in the Middle East, the Mamluks prevented Syria, Egypt and the Hejaz regions from falling under Mongol rule, and eliminated the last remnants of the Crusaders in the Middle East. The Mamluk Sultanate was an important state in terms of Islamic history.

Nicely done video. I saw a video today on HistoryMarche about the battle that won the Ottoman's Egypt. It was great. And worth watching.

I am very happy that I discovered this channel. I have been following it for two years.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

Sultan Selim I carried out unimaginable actions and made the Ottoman Empire a truly great global state in 1517. The Ottoman Empire also maintained his conquests for 4 Centuries. Likewise, the area of ​​the Ottoman Empire reached during the reign of Sultan Selim 6.5how much May God have mercy on the Commander of the Faithful and Caliph of the Muslims, Sultan Selim.

Been waiting patiently for another video love them all

I wonder how many leaders just keeled over from a heart attack once they knew they were done.

Nice video

Suddenly, the exact shape of the Eastern Roman Empire was accomplished. But now under an Islamic ruler...

Great vid! Greetings from The Netherlands.

Historymarche and knowledgia each produced a video about the same battle on the same day, that's impressive
