House of History | How and where did the Ottoman Empire originate? (1299-1389) | DOCUMENTARY @HoH | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
In 1221 on the plains of current-day Turkmenistan lay the city of Merv. The town faced a Mongol besiegement under one of Genghis Khan’s sons and opened its gates in the hopes of experiencing mercy. Instead, one of the bloodiest genocides in world history followed, with approximately a million casualties. The leader of a nearby Orghuz-Turkic clan, Ertugrul, heard of these atrocities and decided to leave the region. Arriving in the declining Seljuk Empire, the Seljuk Sultan at Konya gave him a piece of land near Sogut in exchange for his service. Nobody could have foreseen it, but this band of refugees would establish the mighty Ottoman Empire.

The content of this video covers events, people or concepts via a lecture-style presentation that is educational and historical in nature. Every video is original content by House of History. The events relating to conflict in this video are portrayed in their historical context without either value judgment or an ideological message attached to it. There is no intent to shock, upset or disgust. The goal of my channel is to make interesting lecture-style videos, no more, no less.
Chroniclers describe how in the early 14th century, under Osman Gazi, groups of Turkic nomadic warriors accumulated around the city of Sogut. They were one of many, often Islamic, Turkic tribes to settle on the peninsula. The strongest actors surely were the decaying Byzantine Empire, the Rum Sultanate and the Mongol Ilkhanate. Smaller beyliks such as the Teke, Aydinids, Hamidids, Sarukhandids, Karamanids and Germiyanids all lay lodged between these states. Nothing yet gave away that a beylik of equal size and equal mediocrity, the beylik of Osman, would grow to be one of the strongest Empires the world has ever seen.
Osman first pops up in historical sources in descriptions of the 1301 Battle of Bapheus, fought between him and the Byzantines. He emerged victorious, with the most significant gain being that his beylik became an independent political unit. He subsequently conquered fortresses in the region, cutting the connection between Bursa and Iznik, leaving them only able to communicate via small seaports. His victories made Osman famous and his name travelled far and wide, attracting nomadic warriors from all over the peninsula.
Thank you for taking the time to check out House of History, I hope you will find the films informative, interesting and enjoyable!
