2. As the fourteenth century wore on, the Ottomans continued to expand into territory that had not seen Muslim armies since the Umayyad raids on Constantinople almost 700 years before. In the 1350s, the Ottomans crossed the Dardanelles Straits into Europe for the first time. Taking advantage of Byzantine disunity in the region, Sultan Orhan, and later his son, Murad I. were able to firmly establish Ottoman authority in parts of Thrace. The Turks, with their nomadic history, managed to easily move entire families and tribes into the new European frontier and establish new towns throughout the conquered lands. This huge demographic move- ment gave the Ottomans stability in an area that would have oth- erwise been a challenge to manage.

3. "Çirmen war"
   Investigate the battle with 70,000 Serbian Crusades and 800 Ottoman Raiders. The Ottomans destroyed thousands of Serbs and Crusaders in a night raid with only 800 cavalry. It is one of the biggest raids in history. Lala Şahin Pasha is one of the great commanders that history has seen.

4. Finally the Kingdom of Bosnia gets a few mentions, the Battle of Kosovo is always portrayed as a exclusively Serbian struggle even though it was a multi-national struggle where Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians were all involved against a common enemy.

5. Kosovo was then Serbia, and it is Serbia, and it will be Serbia again

6. Well done

7. Does anyone see Albania on the map?
   Thanks.

8. Serbian history is based on myths cause in that battle mostly albanians fought turks while serbs gave their daughters to enemies and also the one that killed Murad was Albanian…
   Aa God wanted now Kosovo is independent Albanian

9. Bro it's so fun learning ottoman history

10. More videos related to the ottomans please, thank you.

11. Murad the great.

12. Great work, good job

13. Great video. Just wanted to add a small detail, Tvrtkos banner wasn't a cross. It was A blue shield containing 6 golden lilys.

14. your videos are great and unbiased

15. as a Turk, I always felt Turkish-Serbian wars in the Balkans were the bloodiest (mutually). Both cultures had a martial tradition and were proud of being hardy warrior peoples.

16. Why dont you make a video about Gjergj Arianiti the man who occasionally defetaed the Ottomans in 4 battles between 1432-1436, it's also theorized that he inspired Skanderbeg to return to Albania and start his rebellious campaign

17. Excellent video!

18. Another amazing video from Kings and Generals. However, one thing you forgot to mention was when sultan Murad 1 ordered an audience on his deathbed. He referred to prince Bayezid as ‘yildrim’ which means lightening in Turkish for his decisive and quick manoeuvre during the battle of Kosovo which changed the tide of war as you mentioned in the video. Hence that’s why sultan bayezid 1st is referred to as yıldırım Bayezid throughout his reign.

19. 8:17 What is this "Peja" thing in place of Peć?
    Would you also say "Mexico City" instead of Tenochtitlan in an appropriate historical video?

20. If only Nikola Altomanovic lived.
    That man would have crushed the Turks and reinstate the empire.
    Because that man was brutal and had no idiotic qualms like "Knightly" "Proper" battles where you dont do ambushes or attack at night.

    Which is coincidentally a large reason the Serbian army was slaughtered at Marica.
    They truly and honestly were idiotic enough to believe that a completely foreign people will fight like the Romans or Bulgarians would.

21. Need to do a video on the Battle of Čegar, 31 May 1809.

22. Several things in this video are confusing and inconsistent with primary sources. First, you presented Moravian Serbia as an Ottoman vassal prior to the battle of Plocnik in 1386. Although the lands of Dejanovic-Dragas and Marko Kraljevic were made into vassals what evidence do you have to claim that Lazar was a vassal too? There is no such source claiming that.
    And you claimed that the only reason why Lazar created this coalition of feudal lords because his fellow Serbs were killed as traitors and robbers in Anatolia. What an oversimplification and malicious move to I guess service your own narrative. But then you mention that Albanians joined in and Bulgarians were planning to join too, thus your narrative is contradicting.
    Also, you said Lazar secured his northern flank by making peace with Hungary but Hungarians invaded Moravian Serbia that same year.
    And finally, this is where I stopped watching, You claimed different nations were fighting on the side of Lazar, plus Knights Hospitalers, there is no such a source claiming that but a much older Turkish source which is very inaccurate. Because later Turkish sources call all European Christians "crusaders".

    If your research on the subject is so weak, I can only imagine your other videos.

23. @17:03 Yakub: "Man, I did a good job routing those Serbians. Now to return back to ca- EYO WTF"

24. last two sources are so idiotic, there is no way to breaktrought that high guarded Sultans army armed, makes no sence to take knife with you and pretend you surrender. That is Turkish propaganda you can see on murads remanings at his body that he have Spear hole in his stomach witch clames first source. On the other side, Yakoub died in battle while he was defending against agresive and masivly charge of Serbian Nobelman Vuk Brankovic wich army slices his top of the head (Skalp) in the battle…also Turkish propaganda that they said how Beyizit actually kills his own brother wich makes no sence cuz he wouldnt have much time to to that for fact that he was on the right wing under the Vlatko Vukovic attack, and Yakoub was tootaly left on the Vuk Brankovic side.

    A most sincere thank you to Kings & Generals for covering this battle 🇷🇸☦❤💙🤍

26. Balkan and middle east has always become the warzone from ancient time to current time… nice video..
