    @@13redlion13 I think there were a few mistakes, but the most notable strategic mistakes were made by Bayezid. Fighting a large army of horse archers on the defensive while in an open field is a mistake, even if it is possible to push them back with heavy cavalry or a larger numbers of archers. This is due to the attrition suffered over time and the difficulty in fighting back. Your goal should always be to funnel them or lay a trap. Burning grazing areas, which could be possible in the Anatolian climate, ahead of a cavalry heavy army is also a good strategy to force the horses to starve. Bayezid set himself into a more difficult position than he had to when he faced the Timurids in the open. It may sound cruel, but it could be that letting Ankra burn would be the right choice in buying time for a better position. Still, the leadership Bayezid showed while under pressure from traitors and superior numbers is really admirable. He also had chosen some really loyal men to lead in his army, like the Serbians, and despite the treason. Timur was the greater commander in the end, even if there were some less notable mistakes made by him too. Like not taking advantage of the advancing Serbs, not killing the enemy archers and not splitting his horse archers into teams to provide constant fire. So neither commanders were perfect, but they were quite good for that time as they likely didn't have access to as much literature as we have. Finally they were both quite lucky, which is the most important trait of a commander.

Both sides had overall good & competent leadership, had this colossal back-and-forth over the battlefield, and amid the chaos & brutality of war, ended on a high note that displayed the utter ferocity of how each side viewed the other. Very high causalities in total, and where the Sultan fought to the bitter end to inspire the army back. One successfully did it in Kesresztes but not in Ankara.

    @@aksmex2576 there might have been a very real chance at victory then. If the Ottomans brought more household troops and Rumelian timars they could defend against the horse archers more easily, deal with the traitorous elements without the front line breaking and close the gap created by the charge of the elephants. Beyazid might have even been able to just push the horse archers and Timur's army against the mountains negating the horse archers effectiveness and forcing timur to use the Elephants earlier than he would like. This is all speculation though Timur still could've won he was great commander. Too bad such talent was wasted on such a brutal warlord. I would like to think that the Ottoman army would've won. I just like Beyazid better, he's like an earlier version of Yavuz Selim, just more pridefull.

    @@imtiazabdurrahman683 The defeat at Anakara had huge consequences. For most empires it would've been the end but the Ottomans spent the next 50 years reconquering and subjugating it's lost territories, rebuilding it's armies for Mehmed the Conqueror to capture Istanbul. Constantinople could've been conquered earlier yes. The Ottomans were starving the city by blockading it for a few years before Timur invaded. John VII the current regent even considered surrendering to end the suffering of his people like the video explained. The Ottoman empire doesn't need to spend any time consolidating any power or fighting a bloody civil war if the defeat of Ankara doesn't happen. There's no need to reconquer the beyliks or the lost land in northeren Greece and Serbia. The traitorous troops and beys probably would've been put to death consequently. Beyazid's successors were all capable generals and administrators. Mehmed Celebi, Murad II and Fatih Mehmed could've probably conquered Hungary much earlier since it was still in disarray after its defeat of Nicopolis or even conquer Rome and Italy next with no Skanderbeg or Hunyadi standing in the way. This is all just fantasy, a big if scenario though maybe the ottomans would've gotten content entered stagnation further. I believe otherwise because the earlier Sultans and administrators were much more interested in ruling in stead of living lavishly. Just compare Mehmed Celebi would is practically the savior and second founder of the empire to the son of Suleiman the Magnificent, Sari Selim a drunk buffoon.

Ceasar in gaul on the other hand is a different story 😂 its strange that so many people dont know that just during his time there gaul lost 1/3rd of its population. 1 million killed and another 1 million enslaved then ceasar by his own words slaughtered nearly half a million germans. The romans in general are just never remembered for their extreme brutality on the natives. The anceint britons apparently according to tacitus had a leader who said this to describe the romans "To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a solitude and call it peace". The romans debatabley are one of , if not the most brutal empires in European history and in my opinion are way worst than pretty much all colonial empires of the 1500-1990s but all those have bad reputations and the romans are loved. Strange isnt it.

    ​@@limrsk321 Especially with This Fact: The siege of Constantinople in 1394-1402 was a long blockade of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. Already in 1391, the rapid Ottoman conquests in the Balkans had cut off the city from its hinterland. After constructing the fortress of Anadoluhisarı to control the Bosporus strait, Bayezid tried to starve the city into submission by blockading it both by land and, less effectively, by sea. The Crusade of Nicopolis was launched to relieve the city, but it was decisively defeated by the Ottomans. In 1399, a French expeditionary force under Marshal de Boucicaut arrived, but was unable to achieve much. The situation became so dire that in December 1399 the Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Palaiologos, left the city to tour the courts of Western Europe in a desperate attempt to secure military aid. The emperor was welcomed with honours, but secured no definite pledges of support. The city was relieved when Bayezid had to confront the invasion of Timur in 1402. Bayezid's defeat in the Battle of Ankara in 1402 and the subsequent Ottoman civil war enabled the Byzantines to regain some lost territories in the Treaty of Gallipoli.

    This is one of the most legendary battles of medieval history without a doubt. Timur was more cunning than Bayezid in bribing the Kipchaks and Qoyunlu to turn against the turks in the middle of the battle. Without that treason the outcome may have well been different. Fun fact: the letters exchanged between the two prior to war are considered some of the greatest in medieval history, go check it out! Excellent presentation of such epic battle.

    Your comment prompted me to search for the painting. I found, what I believed to be, the one you are speaking of -- a beautiful color painting showing Bayezid reclining on a bed in an ornate room -- treatment befitting a captured sultan. Then, I came upon a black and white 19th century illustration showing Bayezid in prison, which was a much less benign depiction of the event four centuries earlier. History's interpretation can be inconsistent.
