For people who don't know, the funny hat of the Ottoman Sultans is the white thing the dead body is covered when they die, they wear it on their head as a symbol of humble and to remember death and also to not get cocky with their wealth

+Yasser Otmani Actually am not sure if what you said is true, this is just a turban many muslims wore throughout history. And the red hat, aka as Fez in Turkish or Tarboosh in arabian levantine, was an ottoman turkish invented hat that muslims, mostly Turkish and arab muslims of levantine,egypt and morroco wore throughout the caliphate. But I do know that people in sudan till now wear this white cloth around their head, aka as Kaffan in arabic, which is used to wrap the dead body before its placed inside the grave.

The Ottoman empire is a fascinating study, and Venice was unique in its time. One interesting thing is that the Ottomans didn't call Suleiman "the Magnificent"--that was the Europeans. His own people revered him as "the Lawgiver." Like Justinian, he collected and codified the laws, making them consistent across the empire. And unlike Mongols, Goths and Vandals, where the Ottomans conquered, they built. The constructed buildings, encouraged trade, and generally the whole population had a better quality of life than they did under many previous governments.

It isn't my place to correct John but I feel like he represented as almost all Devshirmes were eunuchs, which is very wrong. Janissaries were no eunuchs, as well as most of the bureucrat devshirmes. For example the famous Grand Vizier Pargalı İbrahim Paşa who was originally Greek was married to the sister of Sultan Suleiman and his most renowned successor Rüstem Paşa(originally Croat) was married to Suleiman's daughter and they both had kids from them. I'm not sure but I feel like it would be quite hard to do these stuffs if they were eunuchs.

I love this series of videos! I understand that there might be some things that are left out, but it makes is really interesting and entertaining for people like me who aren't historians and just watch for fun :)

That first interaction with younger John Green had me rolling.

A few facts I pulled out of a wonderful guide book whose name has slipt my mind. - Venice used to be marshlands and was then heavily farmed when it was in it's early stages (like 500AD) Now only the outer islands are farmed and used for farming. - Venice used to have huge gardens, each mansion (palace) had it's own garden. Land was in short supply so these villas were only for the rich and wealthy and each mansion was about 5 stories high. The bottom story was for storage, as it flooded a lot and each house on the canal had a back door leading right into the water! (for supplies and delivery) Today however, all of the grass is gone except for small privately owned areas and public gardens (which are tiny and normally owned by museums) - All paths that have 'rio' in front of it's name used to be canals! They were paved over during the rise of automobile popularity! (Even tho there are no cars in Venice, nice one Venice) - The foundations haven't been altered since it's construction almost 1200 years ago! - The original saint of Venice was Saint Theodore of Amasea - There is a throne made of stone on one of the outer islands of Venice said to be the throne of Attila the Hun

Erendira912 The Ottomans are never mentioned because telling about the Ottomans will reveal the weakness of Europe in the middle ages and to the seventeenth century. Even the Mongols get their places in history books, but when things get to the non-European, Muslim and Turkic Ottomans we get to alienate an era, wiping it out of the minds and never open these chapters of history. As a conclusion: no-one wants to talk more about the Ottomans. -Same goes for the Arabic empires, the South-East Asian kingdoms etc.

China made a clever comeback by putting the western world in a ton of debt, but Russia kicked it old-school, conquering their neighbours with military power, rather than ipods. Religions began to decline globally and a lot of countries became more peaceful. There was also a super secret world powert called Google, hiding in their labs programming god-knows-what new product.

An explanation on why I finally got the chance to watch crash course in class and this was what went on.

Not all devshirme's were eunichs, actually eunichs were collected from Africa, they were not european boys. And, only Janissaries were forbidden to have children, burocrats(called pashas in the Empire) were allowed to marry and have a family, they often served as governors(Ottomans ruled over a vast territory and most of them weren't so easy to govern). This system not only resulted in a stability and prevented nobles from undermining the sultan, it also created a great, well educated ruling class. Who're trained as generals, diplomats and so much more. Suleiman the Magnificent for example had the best governing officers of his time. But it's quite true that Ottomans had a semi-aristocrasy, a pasha lived under very harsh principles. For example, if they were serving the sultan as his governor, no matter what, they couldn't live their territory, any lack of dicipline meant death and sultan could have any of them killed if he wanted. And Janisseries became a unique social class that even the sultans tried their best to get along with.

Snobby Gamer Eunochs were collected from Africa, i can't remember what they're called but some sort of cult, kidnapped young boys and turned them into eunochs to sell them to Ottomans. I wasn't clear about devshirme i guess. Devshirme was a system to provide good ruling class, Harem guards were chosen from a different sort of people. And the bloody succession actually served to higher purposes in my opinion, always the strong one came to power until Bayezid the second, his brother was much like his father but he managed to trick him and get the throne. Before converting to islam, turks were a middle asian nomadic society, and the blood of the khans(ruler) were sacred and all children of a khan had some sort of territory when a khan died. This of cource cannot be allowed in an empire that wants to keep his power and stability, Mehmet the second simply wanted a succession law that served the Ottoman Empire's purposes. And the succession was mostly obvious even before the Sultan dies, Sehzades(Ottoman princes) were serving as governors already, they were actively ruling some part of territory when their father was on the throne, and a good prince always knew how to gain support from pashas and the people. The biggest element was the jannisaries, elite guard of the sultan, anyone who wasn't favored by the jannisaries in Istanbul would have quite a hard time to keep his rule together, Suleiman the Magnificent's father Selim the Cruel for example, overthrown his father by the support of jannisaries and eventually killed him in order to make sure he won't be any future threat. This gladiator arena may seem harsh and bloody, but it also served to the realm, the rise of the Ottomans came with the 10 good emperors who were strong, smart, experienced and had will to do what's necessary. Then Ahmet the first changed this law with keeping all princes in the capital caused a bunch of inexperienced, psychologically unstable leaders who blew everything up.

This is probably the definition of Irony, but I was playing a game of Civ 5 with Venice and had a lot of trade with the Ottomans (who had founded Islam), then they asked me to help them declare war on Spain (who had founded Catholicism), and when I said no, they conquered me. When I went back to my previous save and said yes, I actually ended up winning the game by tourism/a cultural victory. (I'd only just gotten BNW so I was only playing on Prince, so it wasn't actually that hard, but I just thought that was funny.)

You're wrong about Venice not being an empire. They weren't an empire in any sense of the word for land based, sea and trade? They were indeed, there's also a word that goes with that as well, thalassocracy. Venice also wasn't a mere city-state by the time of the 15th century, they ruled over stretches of land from Crete to Cyrus, to many lands in Dalmatia as well, and onto the Italian mainland. Their government also reflected this idea of trade, sea power, and influence; through state funded and owned naval yards, the most famous being the Venetian Arsenal.
