What Ended the Ottomans? | The Fall of the Ottoman Empire
What ended the Ottoman Empire?
For centuries, the Ottoman Turks dominated much of the Middle East and Southern Europe, but by 1914 their empire was on its last legs, and in the aftermath of WW1 the Sultanate collapsed and was replaced by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Republic of Turkey. Though the Ottoman Sultans weren't blind to the fact that their empire was declining-frankly, everyone else had noticed too-and they took several steps, most notably the Tanzimāt reforms, in an attempt to save themselves.

You should of pointed out that when the Europeans found new trade routes to asia that was basically the beginning of the end for the ottomans Because the silk road was not needed which generated a lot of wealth for the ottomans and basically eventually led to the ottomans becoming irrelevant in all right
when the Portuguese reached the Persian Gulf from the other side and even threatened them in the Red Sea, the Ottoman trade model had basically gone worthless within a single moment. As a side effect also the trade model of Venice and Genoa had become worthless. The Portuguese managed to reroute the whole trade with India, Indochina, China and East Africa towards the Cape of Good Hope and further to Lisbon. By that they also killed the silk road and the whole Islamic world, from North Africa to Central Asia drifted into economic decline and later total economic insignificance. With coffee and sugar cane planted in the Caribbean and Brazil even that trade was lost for the Islamic world. Later cotton from the Americas did the rest.
@@ekesandras1481 this ^^^^^^
Hardly. The Ottomans continued to be the European Hegemon all the way up to the 18th Century. The Europeans discovered ways around the Ottomans as early as 1488, while the Ottomans didn't hit their stride until the 1600s.

Ottaman : In the 18 the century, the Ottoman Empire began to establish permanent diplomatic missions in London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. As a result of these contacts all things Turkish became exotic, not least the dress fashion, “turquoisie”. Sultans and pashas were often portrayed as noble and enlightened people in contrast to European rulers. At the Prussian and Saxon courts, feasts, processions and weddings were held á laTurc and Turkish manners became a way for the upper classes to distance themselves from common people. Turkish kiosks were erected in Swedish manorial parks too and Gustav III built a Turkish pavilion at Haga Park. In the 18 th century, Ignatius Mouradgea, a translator (dragoman) of Armenian origin at the Swedish Embassy in Istanbul, contributed to spreading knowledge and a positive image of Turkey in Europe through his encyclopaedic volume entitled Tableau Général de l’Empire Ottoman. He was later knighted by Gustav III acquiring the name d’Ohsson and was for a time head of the Embassy in Istanbul. Turkish Janissary music inspired among others Mozart and Schubert to compose music à la turca. And with the age of enlightenment and Romanticism there was increased interest in the exotic and greater tolerance of and curiosity about other religions and cultures, which was reflected in the image of the Turk who now came to be regarded in many quarters as the “noble savage”.

Might seem like a dumb question But how do I make these maps For a killer presentation at college Great job btw enjoying the content
It's not a dumb question as they're quite tricky to do. However, you're going to have to figure it out for yourself.
Is it on the maps for mappers website
Overall reason is that they couldn't keep up with the modern world.
They could've, but people in their government made it hard to.
Because Muslims can't into the modern world.
@moderatemapper9440 to be fair the other great powers and the rise of nationalism made it even harder. Nationalist uprising in the Ottoman empire? Support them and declare war. The Ottoman empire renewing the military? declare war! The empire just became a punching bag the last 100 years.
I watched both your videos about Ottomons and Saudi Arabia. As it is claimed, were Muhammad bin Saud and his religious partner Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab subject of Ottomons and did they revolt against Ottomons? Appreciate if you can explain that point.
I'm Saudi but i'd really say that the ottomans Empire has a great history of course any country has some issues but I still like how that many countries were against them just because they were powerful and the good thing that they rule by the Islamic law they don't force people to be learning their language or stuff other Empires would do to force people.🇸🇦🇹🇷
nope, united arab league is the only way forward, multiculturalism is trash just like equality.
They did. Ottomans forced islam and their rule onto many. After all do you think the balkans was part of the ottomans by choice? LOL dont make me laugh. Ottomans went around the world converting and genociding. Why do you think albania and Bosnia are muslim? By choice? LOL
Implying that the Hagia Sofia is a cultural marvel and product of the Ottomans is intellectually dishonest.
Believing that that building was the Hagia Sophia is intellectually lazy.
It wasn’t that mate tho was it
Another factor in the decline was a financial one. See when they captured Constantinople in 1453,it did 2 things: 1. It gave them control over all trade between the Black and Mediterranean Seas. and 2. It gave them control over all the overland trade routes to Asia(ie China, India, and the Spice Islands). Both of those meant that the Ottomans could tax shipping as they controlled the only routes available at the time. So the European powers had one of 3 options: 1. Cut a deal with the Ottomans,like Venice did,so you could continue trade. 2. Find a new route to Asia 3. Say "screw Asia altogether" and find a new market to exploit Most European powers did a combination of 2 and 3. This had a cumulative effect on the Ottomans as once it was realized you didn't need their shipping routes to get to Asia,it hit them in the pocket book
Curious you omitted the Siege of Vienna, 1683. Stopped the advance of Ottoman forces west.
These eyes :)
Some maps are in some parts a bit wrong, no hate
A bit of a let down to ignore the achievements of the Ottoman Empire from 1878-1908 under sultan Abdulhamid ii. The longest reigning ottoman sultan in the late period doesn’t get any attention: How he managed to save the empire for another 30 years during a time of war and fragility is remarkable . He built railroads , schools, hospitals, military academies paid off 90% of the £200,000,000 ottoman debt which had ravaged the empire since 1880 and earlier as well as single handedly defeated Greece in 1897. Formed a strong alliance with Germany as well as invested a lot on the army through the German Krupp company. The moment he is dethroned by the young Turks the empire collapses within 10 years.
I never realized this, thanks for the info
He is the sultan who lost most territory in Ottoman history.

According to most historians, the decline of the Ottoman Empire began in 1683 when they failed to capture Vienna. Even after Lepanto in 1571,there was still some expansion of the Ottoman Empire. Was it the aggressive expansion before Lepanto? No,but there was still expansion. Vienna in 1683 pretty much put the brakes on Ottoman expansion in Europe for good
Nah I personally see the government at fault. It’s was a mess which led to foreign powers taking advantage and it then just crumbles down
@@theglitchseeker656The incompetence of the Ottoman central government was definitely a factor
The proposed Bulgaria, following the Treaty Of San Stefano,was a bridge too far for the powers of Europe: 1. France,Britain, and probably the Ottomans didn't want Russia to have access to the Mediterranean Sea as they feared it would make Russia a threat in North Africa. 2. Austria-Hungary was against it because they feared it gave Russia too much influence in the Balkans.
I would honestly cite 1683, when the Ottomans failed for a second time to capture Vienna,as the true start of their decline. I'll argue that the period from 1571, after Lepanto,to 1683, before the second attempt to take Vienna, as a period of stagnant expansion. What I mean by that is even during the period I referred to earlier,the Ottomans were still expanding, just not at the aggressive level they were prior to Lepanto.
It's important to note that the economic capitulations given to European powers and the shifting of the trade routes caused the Ottoman economy to absolutely crash. It is one of the main reasons as to why the empire's power had diminished. The janissaries only started out as a solely European slave force, later on Turks started to push their children to join the corps as well. Also, you shouldn't have included Hatay as part of the map when you said Arab World etc as it is Turkish.
He actually depicted territories that were in control of the Ottomans in 1918 and in the more than just Hatay is in red
The Young Turk Revolution Of 1908 was not only why Bulgaria became independent, but also why Austria-Hungary was able to annex Bosnia/Herzegovina as well.
Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt and his popularization of Nationalism Ended the Ottoman Empire.

Holy Shit!!! if i drinked a shot every time he says "Empire"" in the video i would be DRUNK right now!! Lol
The Ottomons were too little too late to the Roman Empire larp game.
Man of Otto Imperium
As far as I know it was the Russians which attacked Ali Pasha, not the Brits...
They were not called Caliphs, they tried to claim the title, only two actually tried to claim it, but there's no solid historical ceremonies of such important title being transformed to them. They themselves called themselves Sultans. Two called themselves caliphs just for a political game nothing more.
They ''were'' Calips and did not just claim it, Ottoman Empire was the last great age for Islam, Calpihate is not something that passes through ceremonies, a caliph is a person charged with being the imam of the Muslims and the guardian of the Shari'a and Sultans of the Ottoman Empire was exactly that, to be honest there wasn't even a closer nation to claim the title.
@@youravaragetoxicmasculinem9508 They were not in any way representatives of the true faith, they were SUFIS, they didn't even do Hajj. they ruined the Islamic world and lead to its demise and fall into corruption, diseases, and the disappearance of knowledge. They didn't call themselves Caliphs, they called themselves sultans, except for two cunts, one Selim the horrible who invaded Egypt and the levant and his armies burnt down libraries, and committed massacres similar to that the Mongols did in Baghdad, and the second one was Abdulhamid the second when he was facing Russia, trying to provoke the Muslims within Russian lands to join him. If that title was easily claimed, why didn't every single Muslim sultan/king claim to be caliph of their own respective group??? MAMLUKS who were the protectors of the Abbasid Caliphate and hosted the Caliph in Cairo after the fall of Baghdad, never ever claimed that title nor even tried to take it from the Abbasid Caliph, heck they even tried to reestablish the Abbasid Caliphate again in Baghdad. The Ottomans are the one and only reason the Muslim world is no longer in its former glory, and they are the main and the only reason why the title of Caliph is no longer that important, because they destroyed it with their brutal invasion of the levant and then Egypt. Now look at the descendants of the ottomans, allying themselves with Israel, are members of the NATO, and helped destroy Syria, Iraq and Libya. they even tried to ruin Egypt AGAIN. Never have I ever witnessed a nation so arrogant and so full of itself such as the ottomans, and they were and are still very racist and envious of the Arabs specifically.
The fall of the Ottoman Empire was caused by Large minorities,no modernisation ( Led to the defeat of both the Balkan and Italian - Turkish war and a unstable government) The fact is if the government was strong and had the same level of nationalism as the people we could see that the the Ottoman Empire may still have existed or dissolved after ww2 instead
this empire deserved to fall
Maybe it didn't deserve to fall, they were literally the Muslim version of Rome for some period of time before they got incomponent and became oppressive. It explains why the Orthodoxs backed Ottomans during the Ottoman Civil War and never attempted to revolt.
@@guywithacreativename5134I agree Ottomans were actually starting to intergrate the rest of the empire if it was successful with a strong government we could see a united empire in the Middle East
Pl read this peace message: " The Ottamans set such a good example as pacific conquerors that they won the confidence of many former Byzantine subjects . For example , when Nicaea fell , Orhan allowed all who wanted to leave the city to depart freely , taking with them their holy relics , but few availed themselves of the chance . No reprisals were taken against those who had resisted , and the city was left to manage its internal affairs under its own municipal government . BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire .

Pl go through this history ; ( i ). " The main reason for Ottaman success , however , was the development of stable and permanent institutions of government that transformed a tribal polity into a workable state ". ( ii ) " The Ottamans utilized all human resources in their emirate and quickly learned skills in bureaucracy and diplomacy ........ They also did not slaughter every Christian in their path ; rather , they encouraged the Christian inhabitants of the countryside and the towns to join them . Islamic law and tradition declared that enemies who surrendered on demand should be treated with tolerance . ( iii ). " The Christians of Bithynia were obliged to pay the ' harac ' , or capitation tax , for the privilege of being tolerated , but this was no more burdensome than the taxes they had paid to the Byzantine government , which had neglected their interests . Once they had made the decision to surrender or defect , the Byzantine population resigned to their fate ".

The movement was civilian organized with little help of the Ottoman government, they send Mustafa Kemal Pasha as general to take the place of leader of this already existing movement.

@@shaq6976 The beginning of their end was the Russo-Turkish war. And that wasn't even the beginning of the beginning.
From war wise, it was Russian and British empires. From economical reasons, Ottoman did not colonize and collect resources from vassal states. Other empires gained sucking Africa and Asia since Ottoman did not do it.
Ottoman empire remained backward thanks to Islam . a region that is still backward today. and would be in an even worse state if not for oil. the sharia law made minorities inferior to their muslim overlords and stopped all incentives or initiatives. the last lash out - the Armenian Genocide, which Turkey has never accepted responsibilty for ( imagine if modern Germany still denied the Holocaust!?) - showed it had not reformed at all and deserved to be torn down. thankfully the British Empire put the Ottomans out of everyone's misery.
Let’s not blame Islam here as many gulf countries are Muslim also but don’t lack like the ottomans did, the ottomans were backwards and hypocrites they were Muslim but confused ones it was their own polices which brought them down not Islam

Thank you
what ended the reign of the ottomans? sofas.
Here is my take on the matter of Sultans being Caliph, Ottoman sultans rarely referred to themselves as Caliphs unless they needed to galvanize muslim population around them because they know they can’t be Caliphs since they are not of Quraysh Tribe which prophet Mohammed to belongs to and he declared that rulers should be from that specific Tribe. Thats why ISIS in an effort to gain legitimacy, they appoint their “Caliph” from a supposed Qurayshi linage. Moreover, Ottomans are actually the ones who ended Caliphate from at least theoretical standpoint since Last Abassite de Jure Caliph was captured by Ottomans and forced to relinquish his honorary powers to them, so after that point, No defacto muslim ruler needed approval of a phony Caliph.

Fun fact the ottomans didn't call themselves the ottomans they saw themselves as Romans
The word ottoman came from the name osman. They called themselves the ottomans. Only sultan (unless you can prove me wrong) who called himself Caesar was sultan mehmed II
😂😂😂
@@Younghype- Osman is actually islamized version of otaman/ataman also
They didn't call themselves Rome, nor did they call themselves Ottomans, but called themselves Devlet-i Aliyye, "That Most Grand State"; sometimes called as "That Most Grand State of Osman". The Emperors (Padishahs, meaning Shah of all), held many titles among them was Kayser-i Rum. Caesar of Rome. However, this is as a tradition from the Medieval Eras, of conquering Emperors and rulers, not just Ottomans, but everyone back then, collecting the titles. Thus, after the conquest of Constantinople, Mehmed II "Fatih" took on the name of Kayser-i-Rum, in that tradition. But Ottoman sultans had many other titles they held simultaneously - Sultan (denoting both "de facto" {although with a war with Karaman} inherited Seljuk crown and the later added by conquest Ayyubid crown of Baghdad and "Sham" (Levant)), Shah of All (Padishah), King of all Vojvode, Shah of Shahs, Caliph of Muslims, and oldest of the titles they held and often put at the end of their entire nomer, Khan. TLDR: Yesn't
@@HierophanticRose when ibn batuta a Moroccan traveler visited the empire he described it as home of the rum So yeah
Libya and Balkan territories were lost win the young Turks were rulers. Abdul Hamid stood against Europe 33 years and he let the empire live for 33 years.
Reasons: 1-Ottomans were not imperialist and their economy was based on tax revenues. When reached to natural borders (deserts) and strong empires (Russians and Holy Roman) expansion of revenues stopped. 2-No industrial revolution and it's been weaken century by century 3-French Revolution, rise of nationalism and lose of European regions
The ottomans absolutely were imperialist. I’m not even sure how you could make that claim.
1. The Death of Suleiman left the empire out of its golden age of culture. 2. Holy League's coalition against the Ottoman navy left them weakened. Not necessarily weak, just stagnated progress post--Golden age. The Ottomans did briefly manage to hold onto their lands, but: 3. Ottoman empire was diverse, and contained many peoples that were conquered and didn't want to be, so: 4. The Ottoman Empire gave diverse in ethnic or religious region some autonomy. This was good, however made the Empire decentralised and with some regions having too much unique power, it was hard to govern. 5-6. Many Ottoman leaders also had the tendency to seize a lot of power for themselves. As you said, the empire was built on tax revenue, so if it reached a natural border, desert, or foreign power, ability to extend, specifically into places that tax revenue can be gained began to be limited. 7. After 1768-74 Russo-Turkish war, huge consequences were met, and the Ottomans, who were having trouble balancing already, were pushed off of the limit. Post--loss of Crimea and Greece, it was clear Ottomans were losing might against Europeans. Eastern Question!
Good riddance! It was only the inevitable and the Turks tried to delay and failed! 🇸🇾🇵🇸☦️
