Battle of Otranto and the Battle of Chaldiran

[StonyArabia]

I am glad the Ottomans defeated the Safavid's. Crushing them to pulp



It's also funny how the Persian Shah fled

Though I am not really fan of the Ottomans. I also liked how the Hotaki Afghans would also finish the Safavids completely

Erab that army was Turkic video also says Safavid was Turcoman, they fought bravely against the Janissary-Orthodox Takkiyah army who won by fire arms advantage. If Safavids grew in influence and Shia spread in Anatolia that is result of Ottomans turning Byzantines and destroying Anatolian Turkic states. Ismael appeared as hero as result of Ottoman terror and Hellenization. Some thought he was second Timur. Though I respect and am positive toward Selim who was ambitious guy, I cant blame Rebels.

Except some pockets like Kum or some Tehran suburbs the Persians were majority Sunni when that war happening.

Ottomans started degeneration with Mehmed II. He took Constantinople and forgave all Christians. He defeated Akkoyunlu Uzun Hasan and executed 4000 (Sunni) Turcoman war prisoners from Shahanshah Uzun Hasan’s army. No surprise for guy born to Orthodox slave woman and passed law allowing Fracticide.

Both were maniacs and massacred a lot of civilians.

True but Shah Ismail was a true barbarian.
