I am a Turk living in Turkey. When I was in school our history teacher said that slaves, prisoners of war, and Christians childrens were recruited at a young age and raised as soldiers, and the entire janissary army (the unit that was an important part of the Ottoman Empire) was made up of them. I had done research on this subject and learned that this union was affiliated with the Bektasi sect, that means most of today's Turkish Alevis were actually Islamized foreigners, although I wasn't good at the history lesson very much, but this remained in my mind.It is brutal and unfair but at the past time slavery was common.

Also the traditional settlement architecture (narrow curved streets, many terraces and narrow windows) is meant to allow city defenders to block attackers by not allowing them to freely employ their numbers.

@@brenda726 I thought you were trolling hence the sarcasm, so I apologize for the snarky attitude. Look, the Ottoman Empire was kind of special and very interesting. It didn't have very solid historical roots at its founding so it absorbed legislation, language and culture from the Byzantine and Persian Empire. For the first 150 years or so the official language of the State officials etc. was Greek as well. Overtime when the Islamic element became more pronounced there was an effort to convert masses to Islam by increasing taxes, taking male children for forced service as yanissaries etc. Nevertheless, as long as taxes were being paid Ottomans didn't do excessive acts of brutality like Nazis etc. The Orthodox church and the Sultan also had an equilibrium between them so the rights to freedom of religion for Orthodox Christians were kind of secure (if taxes were paid). If you have time to read Ottoman history, not the Turkish propaganda of nowdays, you will see that in reality all of the Empire's subjects were essentially slaves except for the royal family and that in reality many Sultans, viziers etc. were of Hellenic descent. The Byzantine Empire had 32 million people after the plague and they didn't just vanish just because 2 million Ottomans conquered the territories.

At roughly the same time. The Ottoman pirates came to my country (Faroe Islands). Two ships with a crew of 500 each. They raided our southernmost island. Took all the women and killed most of the men. Some managed to hide away. When they returned, they could not bury the dead because everything of value, even the shovels, had been stolen. A danish guy, I do not remember if he had been a crew member on board one of the ships or sent from the danish crown to pay ransom money, said that the pirates intended to go north and raid all our islands, which would have meant the end of my people. But there was a terrible storm and one of the ships was sunk. This made them change their minds and the remaining ship returned south.

Decided to do some research on it and I was very surprised by how much I didn’t know when it came to the slave trade of Europeans. I also found out during that research that the Arab slave trade of both black Africans and Europeans was around approximately 2,000 years before Europeans and black Africans themselves would greatly participate in various slave trades as well.

Most of human history has been about groups enslaved, and enslaving others. Most the time, the slaves were the defeated group and their families after a battle. Even the Aztec and Mayan cultures had slaves from defeated neighboring tribes, though they never had contact with the other continents that practiced slavery. Hard labor is intensive work, and if a person can defeat another, and make them do it for only the cost of water and food to keep them alive, it saves the first person the pain of doing the work. All they had to do was break the will of the other person.

When Arabs came to North Africa during the 8th century, in just few years they enslaved more than 1 million North African Berbers (white people, mostly christians since the 1st century, North Africa was the homeland of San Donatio, San Cyprian, San Augustin, Santa Monica, Popes Gelasius 1 and 2 and Milthyade...), they took especially young boys, girls and women to be sold in the slave markets of Damascus and Alexandria. It has been a demographic catastrophy. Arabs have been known for a long time to have practiced the slavery of Blacks peoples, because originally the Arabian peninsula was populated by Blacks, whom the Arabs then Semitic peoples coming from present-day Jordan, colonized the peninsula and dominated the native black populations. With their conquest of Africa, from Egypt, they amplified their practice until they had "fashions" relatively to the morphotypes of Blacks to be possessed according to social castes such as, for example, to possess an East African, thiner, was a sign of his master's wealth employing him as home-servant, etc. This History must be told everywhere, the European slave trade exckusively of Blacks is an Arab heritage! As for slavery without distinction of race or sex, it goes back to the highest antiquity. However, the Vikings who left Scandinavia captured too a large number of slaves, from the banks of the Volga to the western Mediterranean rim via the Atlantic coasts.

I'll tell you what Americans know about the Barbary Pirates: absolutely nothing. I'm a product of the public schools in the USA. If I even heard "The Barbary Pirates" mentioned during my time in school, it was portrayed as the same thing as the Pirates we all think of (as in the Pirates of the Caribbean or the 'West Indies') I NEVER heard about any pirates other than Caucasians who used to be military/sailors and went rogue. The same goes for the Atlantic slave trade and what we were taught. We were taught one thing and no other points of view. A bit of insight, especially for those of you from other parts of the world. 👍

@@Sectarian. LOL- Piracy of Spanish colonial plunders ships led to African slave-trading. This and slave-produced sugar were Britain's largest revenue sources which built Liverpool and Bristol. Then the wealth of Britain came from looting India: India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs. They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. See also Sullvan and Hickel’s (2022) online AJ English article ‘How British Colonialism Killed 100 million Indians in 40 Years’. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years. In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.

@@Sectarian. When the Brits 'abolished' slavery they paid huge compensation to the slave-owners for their property but no compensation to the slaves. The biggest beneficiaries were the Gladstone family which produced Liberal PM William Gladstone. Supposed Liberal hero Charles Dickens [who supposedly cared for poor Britons] opposed the Abolition of Slavery and after the 1857 Indian Revolt wrote that he would like to go to India to Exterminate the Indian Race! Of course the British maintained subtle forms of slave-labour even after Abolition primarily with Indentured labour. The survivors of the 1877 Madras Famine (with its Death Camps) were coerced into indentured labour in the Caribbean. Tribal peoples in the North East of India were tricked into the barbaric indentures on Assam Tea Plantations. The so-called 'Slave Laws' in Assam lasting into the 20th Century meant these tea-pickers were worse off than slaves in the Deep South USA as the latter had been valued as property by owners. If they tried to leave plantations before the 5 years were up to complain about brutality, the owners had the right to hunt them down for breaking the contract! The British after Abolition supposedly liberated African slaves such as the slaves traded by the Arabs from Zanzibar. But, rather than return them to their homes the British forced them onto islands such as Mauritius to serve as cheap labour forces for the British plantation owners! In the 1870s Brits in Queensland kidnapped natives from New Guinea to work as forced labour. In South Africa the British forced the native Africans off 87% of the fertile land with high taxes in order to force them to work as cheap labour in the gold and diamond mines. This later led to the Apartheid Bantustans where the natives were forced to live and try to farm on the 13% of the worst barren land whilst the whites had stolen all the good farmland.

Russians suffered from this as well. From about 1550's until about 1680s( Peter the Great days) these raids were a menace. Russians protected their southern border with Zaseka lines( just defensive lines, in depth) with Cossacks and reconnaissance units being in the vanguard. It was quite effective. Russia suffered something like 1-2 million sold into slavery, over that period. But it gradually decreased to zero, after southern border of the Muscovite Rus was pushed south. Grim page in our history, full of grim pages. But entire Europe suffered from this as well, a lot more, in many cases. We had a massive Russian Steppe, as a barrier. And many Zaseka lines. And even a special tax - to buy slaves back. Etc. This topic needs to be discussed more, I can't believe this is being ignored. We OWE IT to these poor people, to remember them, to tell their stories. And to remember who was responsible for all this.

It's interesing how you can find such stories of muslim raids and people being taken as slaves from different parts of Europe. In central and eastern Europe we did not have to deal with Barbary pirates but especially with the Tatars. Tatar raids were a big thing in i.e. eastern lands of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and many people were taken into slavery in the Ottoman Empire. It goes all the way back to the three major mongol raids in 13th century. "Father of Polish Language" Jan Kochanowski wrote a poem about devastation of Podolia and people taken into captivity to encourege the state to act in 1575. In 1644 great hetman Koniecpolski defeated a major Tatar invasion at Ochmatów. In 1672 hetman and future king John Sobieski set out against the Tatar raiders and freed around 44 thousand people. We even have our own world for Tatar/Turkish slavery - jasyr. The last Tatar raids happened just before the sigining of Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699.

Europeans weren’t considered sub human, which is what their chattel slavery is predicated on. In fact the one who even led the slave raid was a native dutch turned pirate. In addition, Europeans regularly enslaved Arabs, davinci’s mother was one. This isn't even a primary source, but one that was heard from someone that claims to have witnsessed that attack, what's most damning however is the fact that the man that led the slave raid was Jan Jansen van Haarlem, aka Morat Rais. The account writer states that he knew that the captain and his second-mate were Turkish from their headgear - in fact, both men were Dutch - Jan and Mathias were both born in the Netherlands. This entire account is a fabrication by a Lutheran priest written during the Ottoman-European wars.

“Enslaved millions?” Uhm, yeah, okay buddy. Good luck trying to show that the North African corsairs had anything approaching the kind of shipping capacity aboard their light and agile war galleys and even lighter galliots, that could carry off “millions” of people from coastal Europe. I bet you never paused to consider that, did you? Even in a good year, the corsairs were lucky if they could snatch a few hundred captives, and that’s even before we factor in those who were ransomed or returned in prisoner exchanges. Even the most ambitious-but fact-based-estimate of European captives taken by the North African corsairs over the entire period of their existence doesn’t exceed 50,000. And while we’re at it, let’s not forget the untold numbers of North Africans enslaved by Europeans (including, among others, the pirates of the so-called Knights of Malta), going back to Roman times. The Barbary Corsairs’ counter forays into Europe are small peanuts in comparison.

The Americans and Europeans practiced far more barbaric forms of slavery. Even in America, slaves had no rights and you could literally kill your slaves and the law wouldn't care. Contrast this with Ottoman and Arab slaves, you can't kill your slaves, you can't beat the s*** out of them, you have to give them reasonable housing and you have to feed them well. Whereas with American slavery, you can do whatever you want with your slaves as they are treated less than animals.

Most slaves in Ottoman or Arab capture had no chance to purchase freedom, that was a rare event completely dependent on the owner's whims. Slaves were chattel that could be raped, abused, worked to death, sent into battle, inherited, sold and if the owner is powerful enough, killed at whim. Many Europeans (Balkans) ended up in the ranks of slave armies. The Arabic slavers castrated their male slaves before taking them to market.

slavery is well preserved honey and not abolished....... The UN is highly western based and most of world countries from Asia to Africa to eastern Europe to south America refuse LGBTQ refuse feminism refuses the banking system refuses the modern slavery ( salve wage ) refuses western subjective vales ,but yet they push it on all of us. using utilitarianism then the west shouldn't be pushing their values on the majority and the majority can take down the west. that's why in political science there's a famous quote " the liberal global order is neither liberal nor global " ( meaning only western based and other countries don't anticipate on it or they will be sanctioned and fought by the west ). also, this is by definition slavery because they tell us what to do and if we refuse, they punish us , starve us or kill us and we have to follow them when they are the minority. so utilitarianism doesn't work and they are enslaving us. what am trying to say is this system is belt on hypocrisy and when Objective moral people start to realize than they will take action and subjectisim will have no answer when the objective moral people start action and they can't say it's " good or bad ". even if objective moral people did wrong the subjective people can't prove it's wrong since it's all subjective. even so atheist can't prove what's good or bad in all topics other than morality. for example, an atheist says to someone you are Bac-kward and that someone says is being Back- ward good or bad ? here they can't really answer. they can't prove being whatever is good or bad. and so on and so on. what am literally saying now will change the world perception and the moral people will take action. it's inevitable. one thing else if they don't have the concept of good or bad of any subject other than morality that means it has no value ( worthless ). for example, asking an atheist is science good or bad ? if he/she did reply with good and bad they can't prove it therefore, it's subjective and has no value at all since they don't have the concept of Good and bad. therefore, all their " facts" ( which are hypothesis not facts ) are worthless if it has no value ( good and bad ). they can't detect which is fact and not if they don't hold on any value and even if they did they can't prove it since it's subjective. We live in a world that ran by subjective people who can't prove their value or the value of anything and can't prove even their subjectivsim and it's value! Yet they have the audacity to tell us what's good or bad and what's valuable and not and what's true and not. also brain is nothing but an organ according to their world view which means they cannot base anything on it and it's all chemical reactions which delude itself on having meaning when there's non which means all their claims as their existence worthless meaningless and untrue. which means they argue for nothing.....

In Italy there's this popular proverb that says "Mamma li turchi!" (Mom the turks!) and it's still used, even in a easy way, to indicate a scourge, and something dangerous. This because the coasts of Italy were constantly attacked by saracens in the middle ages, and by barbary corsairs and turkish ottomans in the modern era. For more than 1000 years (720 to 1800) hundreds of thousands of people were kidnapped and sold as slaves in North Africa and Turkey. The coasts of Italy are still covered by watch towers, called "torri saracene" (saracen's towers) and little forts builded with the purpose of warning the people for these attacks and sheltering them. This history is known vaguely by most people only because the trauma for these attacks was deeply dig in the "popular culture". But actually we know very little about this stuff, and above all, we don't know the magnitude and the massive numbers of slaves that those raids made. Even i, as a history lover, find out very recently about the massive scale of those attacks, and how real and terrible in those time was the cry "Mamma li turchi!". And this was the same on the coasts of all Europe, and even worse in the Balcans and on the Ukrainian-Russian-Polish frontiers, were millions were enslaved by turks and tatars. Schools completely avoid the subject (but obviously talk A LOT about the evil crusaders and the North atlantic slave trade). I wonder why....

The christian raids were occasional. Malta Knights and other little italian corsairs were the only ones engaged in such affairs, and they had few ship. So they just couldn't take a lot of captives on boards. Meanwhile ten of thousands of people were kidnapped by barbaries and ottomans every year.

Anyone who associates slavery with the African diaspora is that of a little mind.....near every culture has been enslaved, from the Irish to the Chinese to Indigenous of South America and many many many European ethnicities. Slavery, along with violence has existed from the dawn of man. A sad truth. Humans are cruel...to anything different. This crosses all human flesh and race. Native American and African American slavery has been exploited by those in power to continuously create borders and divisions between cultures, to continuously crush the spirits of those who are not Caucasian, to diminish autonomy and cultural power...we are weakest when divided or when we don't know how to stand in our own power. ...that's why this type of slavery is spoken across all the seas ...it's far from being the only slavery known,, and hopefully most minds are curious enough to research history to see how slavery and dominance plagues everyone. Not saying this to diminish the cruelty subjected to African and Indigenous. Also human trafficking/slavery still exists and preys on our children and young women..no matter their ethnicity.

The fact he kept his faith after all that is astonishing, beautiful, but also scary, I don't know if I could be tested like that, truly many of these people are saints now

People were generally so much tougher then than now; and of course faith was a real thing then, that enabled people to endure all sorts of pain and suffering.

@@blowingfree6928 yeah and they had an other "relationship" with death and pain then ppl have now. Ofc noone wanted to die then either, but it wasnt that tragic and scary as it is now. The reason for that is that they came across death and pain way more often then we do now : wrong going births where a lot of women and kids died, cruel rulers who had no problem with killing and punishing ppl, raidings as it is described in this video, or lethal cancer and starvation. It was just more "normal".

The captain of that fleet was Jan Janzoon Van Harlem. He was a Dutch sailor who was taken to Morocco and converted to Islam. His son Anthony Van Harlem immigrated to New York and might have been the first Muslim in North America. Many people from prominent Dutch families in New York are actually related to him.

People who live in the modern, developed world ought to read about or listen to things like this, and then reflect on their good fortune at having won life's great lottery. For thousands of years, all over the world, this was the reality of life: brutality and cruelty from one people to another, as the weak were preyed upon by the strong.

I take your point but living in a developed nation doesn't mean we should be automatically be grateful. I, for one, have severe chronic pain. No amount of modern amenities can dull the pain, only medications. If I'd of been born earlier, I'd have to kill myself (frankly, if my meds get cut off, I'll have to anyway). Peoples struggles are still valid and significant, regardless of their prosperity.

We once lived in a world of leisure and justice - but this artificial world created in the last few centuries is only temporary. Either WWIII is about to happen, or we will soon be plunged back into the world spoken of above by Darren O. A world where only the ruthless thrive and everyone else suffers. You can see it going in that direction more and more each day. We will once again have to live in a world where education is a privilege for only the few, where magic is revered, where the earth is flat, slaves are the norm, and justice is only for the rich.

Before my visit to Iceland last year I bought and read sally magnus’s book about the raids and kidnappings back then ,it was a bit flaky reading but I did learn something ! The general public don’t know about this history!!

In the Colonial USA, the Marines were founded specifically to deal with Barbary pirates whose ships attacked US ships for valuables -- including impressing our sailors into slavery. Barbary pirates roamed coasts of Europe even up to Ireland & Skandanavia for slaves... This went on for centuries. Not just Vikings who were marauders...

Bless this man. One thing I find quite fascinating (around 8 minutes in) is how despite all the beatings he was subjected to at the hands of his captors, he still retains a degree of respect and nonchalance towards them. He doesn’t paint them as purely comically evil, but also records how they generally avoided mistreating the other captives where possible. Whereas I’d imagine that were I in his situation I would have nothing but total contempt for the privateers. Also noting how many in fact weren’t Turkish corsairs but were Christian Hungarians, Germans and Dutch privateers. Probably what I found most intriguing and unexpected was how he notes that the most brutal amongst them were people who are/were initially Christian European themselves.
