Скачать или смотреть Ottoman Disasters: The History Modern Admirers Ignore

The Ottoman Empire is often remembered for its expansion and victories, but far less attention is given to its major defeats, internal failures, and military catastrophes.

This video examines a series of decisive moments — from Ankara and Lepanto to Vienna, the Balkan Wars, and World War I — that reveal how even powerful empires suffer from overreach, decay, and structural weakness.

The goal is not to glorify or demonize, but to present history as it occurred, without myth or selective memory.

This is Part One. A follow-up video will examine Ottoman frontier wars and regions the empire struggled to control, including Arabia, Yemen, and the Black Sea frontiers.
