Explore the fascinating history of the Janissary Corps, one of the most formidable military forces of the Ottoman Empire! Formed in the 14th century by Sultan Murad I, the Janissaries began as a small group of young Christian captives, who were trained under the Devshirme system to become elite soldiers fiercely loyal to the Sultan. With their distinct white headgear, innovative use of muskets, and disciplined square formations, these warriors became the ultimate symbol of Ottoman might. Over the centuries, they played a pivotal role in numerous campaigns, such as the Siege of Constantinople in 1453, where their unique warfare techniques helped the Ottomans conquer the city. Learn how these soldiers evolved from the Sultan’s personal guards into a powerful political entity that could even challenge the authority of the empire. The Janissary Corps stands as a reminder of how innovative military tactics can shape the course of history.
