You better not mix the moorish pirates with the ottomans one
2:28 - there is a factual error: Suleiman I wasn't emperor in 1517 (he became one in 1520). Instead, emperor was Selim I
You should do a video about sultan abdulhamid II and how he managed his empire, challenged all of Europe
Kings Generals, Turkish subtitle please
@Kings and Generals can you make a video about the Greek slave Mustapha Khaznadar (Georgios Halkias Stravelakis) in the Ottoman Empire who became the Prime Minister of Tunisia?
While everyone praises the Overall visual improvements Kings and Generals have made over the years, I think the Sound design is praiseworthy as well. Its very immersive and Epic.
The background music is always on point, like you say its very immersive.
@@greenpill9567 It gives that video game vibe.. I don't mind that.
The K&G animators used game engines (one of them has a channel called Malay Archer) to create the visuals and machinima for the series, that's why they feel like video games immersion.
@@arwahsapi Malay Archer is an absolute legend
Pirates in fiction: "C'mon, lads! No mercy! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Let's kill them all and deliver this wreck to the waves."
Pirates in reality: "Good afternoon, gentlemen. Could you allow us to check your papers? We need to assure everything is in proper order."
We prefer the term vigilante customs officials.
I unironically would be even more scared if a pirate came to me to investigate my ship and documents.
When you are a pirate but at the same time following certain rules be like:
Not really
Oi m8, you have a license for those cannons?
Two Ottoman Series videos within the same week? We give thanks to Kings and Generals. Always an interesting watch
I love the north africa series
The difference between a pirate and a privateer is matter of perspective
One is a freelancer already hired by a big fish, the other one does small business wherever he/she goes.
@@DanRyzESPUK And yet both are in the business of pirating. Whether a pirate was hired or not doesn't make him any less of a pirate.
Privateers unofficially worked for a government that was backing them and had to give over a share of their spoils to said government. They also couldn’t attack ships from the nation they represented
@@gregbors8364 I don’t think privateers worked unofficially ? It was a pretty widespread tactic
@@TheAtmosfear7 “Unofficially” in the sense that they weren’t official ships of war; they were contractors. Like how Blackwater was unofficially working as part of the US military during the Iraq War
So nicely done - love the scenes of the canon
Hey, Flash Point History! I love.your series on the Conquest and Fall of Constantinople. Curious to see when the Ottoman Empire is introduced.
@@yourcasualservantofsauron9781 I got the 4th crusade next and then jump into the Ottomans =)
Love your channel bruv.
@@FlashPointHx Cool! I'm curious to see your perspective on the confusing early Ottoman history.
You're KILLEN it bro! That recent Socrates/poison video is absolute 🔥
Miguel de Cervantes,the greatest writer in Spanish literature, was captured by the barbary pirates and held for 5 years before he was ransomed
He wrote the famous novel “Don Quixote”.
In Algiers.
@@Adilesq yes... There's also a chapter in the novel that deals with the galley slaves... I think that inspiration came to him from the Barbary slave raids
Barbaren sind deine Großeltern ,
The cave where he was held in Algiers is still visited by people to this day
In Spain we have an idiom originated by these pirates: when everything is fine to proceed with a plan we say "no hay moros en la costa" (there are no moors along the coast), it originated as a saying by the sailors, sort of saying "everything is fine, there are no pirates as far as we can see". Also, a small nitpick: "Moriscos" refers to the converted muslims, for the muslims themselves they were called "moros" (moors) in reference to the Maurus mountain range in North Africa, from which Berbers supposedly came from (most of them were of Berber origin).
Yep Maures/Moors/Moorish is the term used to describe berbers of the west (Mainly Morocco), in reference to the kingdom of Mauretania which was annexed by the Roman empire in the first century AD. After the invasion of Iberia the term became generalized to all muslims by europeans.
The "Moriscos" were the descendants of Spanish Muslims who converted to Christianity after 1502. Of course, their conversion was not sincere, they remained Muslims.
@@mauratlantean3002 lol
Very interesting. Do any of those words have any connection to “mariscos” (seafood).
@@Thelittlelionprince I don’t think so because “mar” means sea in Spanish
This is why they didn’t make “Corsairs of the Mediterranean”.
@@-ahmed121 True, but nowadays everyone thinks only Europeans did bad things
@@TheAtmosfear7 I think it's more of the scale in which the Europeans did those bad things, whilst they certainly weren't the only ones they were the biggest and as a result in our modern eyes the worst.
@@gaiusjuliuscaesar3808 the biggest what ? Muslim slave trade went on for triple the timeframe the European one did and affected millions more.
Don’t be fooled, it’s not a matter of scale or any objective parameter. The reason it’s like this is that the Western world is going through a post-colonial period with politically motivated historical self-criticism, which other countries don’t. I’m not saying that’s necessarily wrong, but it definitely distorts our view of history.
@@gaiusjuliuscaesar3808 Mosltly Belgium France and Brittany are
Because until now expect Belgium
They still taking what doesn't belong to them
As an example until now
France still keeping algeirs freedom fighters at human museum
@@TheAtmosfear7 like you said it, it wasn't just slavery and such it was mostly the colonialism aspect of European history which has resulted in people criticising European states. As many of the modern problems plaguing post colonial states can indeed be traced back to colonialism.
Loving all the Ottoman content lately
“You only truly possess that which you cannot lose in a shipwreck.”
- Abu Hamid Al Ghazali
Interesting, I've also read somewhere that al-Ghazali (Algazele) was robbed by bandits at a young age. When he follows them to get back his notes and books, the chief of the gang says "What kind of knowledge is it that you can be robbed of"
oh you are here😊
@@LionKing-ew9rm yes I also know the story and that's the sentence that made Gazzali sir the man he is known to be.
The lives of the Sea Dogs and Barbary corsairs are a lot more complex than I've thought previously! This video really is an eye-openner! Thank you, Kings and Generals, for this video about the Ottoman corsairs!
P.S: This might be how Horikishi got the idea about Pro-Heroes needed hero licenses to operate in MHA in the first place!

Hello fellow weeb
@Zeno the Filipino Thank you for the correction!
Same didnt know that it was this complex
I love this map style! Glad it’s being used more
New map and the artwork are amazing 👏
This is deep historic insight with low threshold accessibility. All sides are judged fairly, maybe much less biased as the public TV does usually. This is insane. Great work! Also I really appreciate the book recommendations! Keep up this amazing work!
A stunning video. Loved the details of everyday lives of the corsair and captains when they saw each other and recognize one another. Keep up the good work!
There was once a pirate captain from my village. The main reason for banditry and piracy was economic issues. When I consider the rugged terrain of my home region, the White Mountains, Lycia, I understand why this region has had so many bandits and pirates for thousands of years. Lack of trade and fertile lands made him seek his fortune far from his homeland. Thanks to "Emrah Safa Gürkan", we now understand the reasons behind piracy better, with the scientific approaches.
I wonder if Rome hadn’t obliterated Carthage, if the North African coast would have developed more as a sea trade region. My understanding is Carthage was all about that sea trade.
Not only Carthage, but the medieval fatimid sultanate also had a developped sailing tradition. It was one of the only state of the time which had a permanent navy.
Roman Carthage was still a very important city. In fact, Rome's failure to retake Carthage was one of the important reaons as to why the west was doomed to fall.
Carthage became irrelevant, I believe, when the muslims razed the city after taking it from the Eastern Romans.
Carthage's control of Sea trade was predicated on them being the center of trade between their Western Hispanic holdings and the Eastern Med. Without control of Spain, there was no reason not to use Northern Med ports.
This is the Assassin's Creed game I feel like I've been waiting for them to make my entire life.
There's already Assasins Creed Black Flag with pirateship and Assasins Creed Revelations with Ottomans.
It seems that you have a wrong idea about the geography of Algeria, because after the coasts we find the narrow coastal plains, then we find the tellien Atlas Mountains, after which we find the Saharan Atlas Mountains (named by that because it borders the desert), and these two mountain ranges confine the high plains between them. That is, there is a distance of 300 km between the coast and the desert .For this reason, trade was flourishing, which made Britain invest in the forests of Al-Qul in Algeria and buy from their wood, and France in catching coral in El Kala and Bejaia, and it came to the point that Algeria became one of the most important exporters of wheat to Europe and France, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Also, for wine people, it's interesting to note that North African countries were producing titanic amounts of wine for France until the 1970's. Just insane amounts.
Wheat were not exported rather looted by force.
@@RM-ei6be Seriously, that's what you have to say. Wheat was looted? There are agreements documenting the export of Algerian wheat to European countries. I really don't know where you got this wrong idea about looting from.
@@jubarex2409 I think we are all smart enough to know WHY majority Muslim countries were producing so much cheap alcohol for the French lower classes. What I am talking about is the fact that they produced so much... so much... like so so much. It's fascinating that you could even do that on such a large scale in Muslim countries... and from your angle that's how I would tackle the effect of the French colonial system... kinda like what's happening in Chile with quinoa now... traditional crops become too valuable for even the people of the colonized nation to use.
Obviously grapes are very important anywhere there was greek/Roman culture previously. Romans didn't like anywhere they couldn't grow grapes and olives too much and there's a fascinating argument to be made that the real reason the Roman empire stabilized along the Rhine was that people past there cooked with butter and drank beer mostly. Romans thought that shit was weird as fuck. Personally I don't think enough historical attention is paid to the fact that romes borders at the height of the empire essentially stopped where it started to get really hard to base an economy around Rome's favorite food products.
The justification for the occupation of Britian was just that it was too rich not to try.
@@jubarex2409 I didn't day today you fool... look at my comment. Literally read my comment. Jesus.
You guys never cease to amaze me 👍
Great account of the history of post-medieval to pre-modern Algeria! Keep the great content coming.
Wonderfully made :)
Some additional fun facts:
-The Turkish Navy today uses the flag of Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa on its Admiral ship, it gets hoisted on PASSEX and similar occasions
-Any Turkish Navy ship leaving or coming to İstanbul salutes the grave of Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa
-On PASSEX and similar occasions, while passing other ships, mehter marches get played hearable from everywhere. Simultaneously a pirate flag gets hoisted
Barbaros Hayreddin is famous in Algeria too
@@tamazghaunion9158 yeah he had his main base of operations there. Thats where the Turkish-Algerian friendship comes from🇹🇷🇩🇿
@@bruensal7182 well he is the founder of the Algerian state and he consulted us before joining the Ottoman Empire, on which we agreed.
@@Omegaeon1 sadly later Algeria waa colonised by France. It would have been nice if Algeria could have been independent direclty after Ottoman rule
@@bruensal7182 But he was greek.
Great video! The graphics are just getting steadily better as well.
Wow this is beautiful every video gets better and better visually and of course contents great
First I was like, wait a minute I have read this book last year. Then I saw the description. Sultanin Korsanlari is really a great history book based on entirely documentation of the era.
Kitap Hilalin şovalyelerinden bahsediyor mu?
Amazing as always!
Wow! I didn't know that Ottomans were good at shipmaking and naveries too! I always thought they were land-based military power.
They mostly were good at it in the 16th century only, great admirals such as Barbarossa and Dragut also played a vital role
Just look at Charles V constant battling against the Ottoman Navy.
Edit: grammar.
They were…for a very short time. After initial defeats at the hands of the ottomans most Europeans were held back purely through reputation. Fast forward a hundred years and everything isn’t looking so good anymore for the ottomans at sea and even on land. Too little reforms and modernization pretty much doomed the stagnant ottoman court.
@@nenenindonu Besides Barbarossa , you forgot the 2 other Albanians, Baba Oruc and Murat Reis the Elder.
It wasn't called the Ottoman Sea for no reason. 😁
nice episode as always
Great job! Thank you very much.
Great documentary I am loving it
Another great video
Pirate stories always attracted me, thanks for video
Very impressive script and narration, thank you
This channel never stop impressing
Very good video, just a bit sad that you didnt got into ship types cause I love Xebecs
Once again, you've outdone yourself!!
Awesome video!
Thank you for always being unbiased in these videos. It adds a lot of credibility to your name.
Insane production 👍👍👍
Dear Kings and Generals, Alania and Chechnya need to switch places at the map at 2:15. Same error was also made in "Sultanate of Women" video. In fact after Timur bonked them at his invasion of North Caucasus, Alania as a political entity ceased to exist, replaced by Kingdom/Khanate of Kabardians.
The detail of Lesbos Island in 6:28 is impressive by the way. It is there where Barbarossa Hayreddin was born and grew up. Well done Kings and Generals!
Yep, by an Albanian timariot or sipahi and a local Orthodox woman.
@@adolphbismark4331 Albanians could not be Tımarlı Sipahi in the Empire. It was the Turks' privilige
@@orhanemiratlgan9478 incorrect many Albanians were held equal to Turks if not more to most because of early conversation for Muslim Albanians while Christian Albanians were being oppressed Barbarossa was a result of that
@@madflaka4087 Incorrect. It is nothing to do with equality. It was about the fact that Turks were being seen as the backbone, the architect of the empire. This is why there is no way that Hızır's father was Albanian. Find something else to be proud of
The Anatolian turk, who might be a kurd or very well might have plenty of Albanian or Balkan blood in him feels inferior that a small nation such as Albanians were the backbone of a transcontinental Ottoman Empire while Anatolians were seen as low value.
This was really fascinating… it’s rare that a RUclips video changes my view on a subject as much as this. I’d love to see a sequel that addresses the corsairs that the US dealt with. Was the US breaking with European conventions for dealing with corsairs or had the corsairs themselves crossed the line into piracy?
Since the U.S. was allied with Sweden 🇸🇪 for one of the wars, I don't think they were much different from European countries
european were very happy that US ended berbery brutal seeraids......this is a stupid video...only showing the "bright" side of a criminal nation....do you want to see a "barbary" State...go to Lybia, where slave trade is active, people get abused indipendent of age and gender..
@@obiwankenobi2083 "only showing the "bright" side of a criminal nation" How did this video give you that impression? Lmao.
@@AdamNoizer simply did not talked about the negatives one...it never came out about the slavery, actually one of the longest and brutal slavery trade in history (more than the english/dutch/spanish one).
Did you heard it in the video?
Fuk Kings and Generals...at the start it was very interesting. But now is becoming clear that their Stance toward Muslims history and nation is very sensible.
And instead against non-Muslim and especially European History is very honest, which is good, but history should be on every side told trustfully as can be.
So check the crusaders video of this channel and then the turkish one...you will see the difference.
@@obiwankenobi2083 They talked about how Muslims who were expelled from Spain and European converts to Islam became privateers and brutally raided the coasts of Italy, Spain and France and enslaved thousands of people. I think you’re being obtuse because I’m not sure what other impression you could have gotten from the video.
Were they not being Islamophobic enough by making the Muslims seem exceptionally barbaric enough for your tastes? Was it because they talked about how they had treaties and operated according to what would have been considered professional standards by being discriminate and sparing vessels who they were at peace with?
The battles between knights and corsairs is such a cool part of history
My dears, appreciate your work. A new idea, haven't seen documentaries about it anywhere yet. What about the whole central and south America in the Napoleonic Wars? These wars where the mean starting point for the independence of these two continents. No one is until now coming to this idea to make a series of it. Could you please make it?
I feel like that time and place in history does not get enough attention it deserve considering how recent it is and the amount of human activity it has had past 300 years.
Latin America population is almost 700 million, almost the population of Europe.
Videonun sonuna yaklaşırken ESG neden hâlâ bir yerden fırlamadı diyordum..
adam burayı da ele geçirecek lol
A series about Phoenicians would be great, since there aren't much info around and you are covering maritime history.
Good explanation
Certified I loved this video
One of the most interresting thing about the Barbary Corsairs was how many prominent Western ones there are. Dutch ones like Simon the Dancer, Jan Janszoon, De Veenboer etc British ones like Jack Ward, Italian ones like Giovanni Dionigi Galeni (Calabrian) etc etc. Some of them joined because they were out of a job when the British and Spanish made peace. Some of them were captured as Galley slaves during raids and then proved themselves, gained their freedom and worked their way to the top. Like that Italian dude literally ruled Agleria and Tunis etc and eventually became a proper admiral in the Ottoman fleet. Died in Istanbul. He had a famous mosque built by the famous Architect Sinan, he's burried there.
I was here when K&G were had only 1000 or so subscribers. We have grown up watching you man !
I unironically just listened stellaris *aquatics* trailer music or theme just before this what a coincedence lol!
Also Barbaros literally described South America before it was cool
ESG and Kings and Generals? great collab, looking for more from you guys!
Greetings from Algeria
we have many popular songs about the "Ryas al bahr" or "Masters of the waves" as we call these captain corsairs, Hayreddin barbarossa is foudner of the Algerian state, but it was not all hostility and ransom for european powers, there had been treaties of peace and commerce and friendship with nations like sweden, dutch ( which gave us a lot of these coverts who became famours captains ), also some german states, Britain, and the united states
however the relation with the ottoman suzrenty became more nominal in the 18th century, there were no orders or taxes from the porte here even though we had a deep respect for the ottoman sultan as a rightful caliph of islam as a whole.
How does algeria approach the role of these corsairs in the historic mediteranean slave trade? Its not at all political since its old history, im just curious. Cheers.
@@abcdedfg8340 context of war, the spanish incursions forced us to ally with barbarossa to found a new state and counter the spanish, making use of the andalucian refugees, , it was not possible to maintain commerce treaties with europe until we got enough autonomy, the ottoman empire remains far and too busy in europe and Iran, so corsairs were the answer, if no money comes in then massive revolts happenned, it's not just a jihad against spanish and maltese and others but also an economic need, 18th century Algeria should have been showased more here, because it went a bit different than barbarossa times 2 centuries earlier
algerie exite from zirid pas barbarosse
Its bologhine who created algeria
Not barbarossa
Guys the modern state of Algeria is from barbaros
I fvcking love this channel.
The title should be "Ottoman Privateers" not "Ottoman Pirates" because Ottoman Corsairs were not just simple bandits.
Neither were most of the famous Golden Age Pirates.
Ever heard the Pirate Republic of Nassau?
@@MegaAgamon Yes, I played AC4 then I was curious about it and looked it up. Quite odd tbh.
Well it depends who you asks, for the inhabitants of costal villages in eastern and southern Spain they were bandits
@@theturkish1373 Whenever we are framing the golden age pirates as the "bag guys" we need to remember that the "good guys" were slave collonial empires.
@ايجون تارجاريين
1. Goths? The last goths in Iberia were from 8th century, the relation with the population of these areas is minimal
2. Bandits? Are you telling that there were some bandits in that area? Yes, like in every place of the world. Are you telling that all of them were bandits? Then you have a huge problem of knowledge.
3. Emigrants? Well, the demographic composition of these area was very complex, so your reduction has no sense. The inhabitants bring by the "repoblaciones" were emigrants as much as the turks who settled in Anatolia.
Yes, I mean them. And you, are you going to justify the pillage of villages because those "facts"?
This is a fascinating era of history that I feel is often overlooked by all except by those who already have a deep interest in the Ottoman Empire and 16th-17th century religion and politics. Kings and Generals does a great service by providing these videos to a public that otherwise may be unaware of this story.
And it's extremely important. And even for US history people like myself because the actions of North African pirates had a huge effect on shaping foreign policy in the early republic.
It's definitely first time America as a nation confronted a foreign policy problem that was not eurocentric.
@@Baseballnfj Very true. The Barbary Corsairs were the first true test the young United States faced after the Revolution.
fascinanting era??? Dude...do you want to see how facinanting was barbary corsairs ( and not Pirates!!)??...Then I recommend checking Lybia Slave Trade! Then you see how facinanting were this people...if you like any kind of abuses...
@@obiwankenobi2083 Interesting fact, but one can enjoy studying a particular time in history without actually enjoying the abuses that occurred in the said time period. These centuries included important developments in politics, religion, and economics. Yes, it is highly fascinating.
@@Baseballnfj Why the hell US just after getting their independence came too far across the Ocean and until Mediterranean? It's normal that there would be reactions to that.
Wrote an essay about the barbary pirates, north afrika and the ottoman navy in this time period. Its super interesting
When people were captured in raids their families etc that were not captured were often given the chance to buy the freedom of the captured one's before the ships went to north afrika
very well made.
This video couldn't literaly have been released at a better time, i have my final exam on corsairs and piracy soon

I remember a time when documentaries on RUclips were low quality older docus. Nowadays kids into history are so lucky man.
As a kid I would devour books on history but as a Dutch Turk there was very little on Ottomans in Dutch libraries and we got very little thought about it in history class
Finally a documentary about my Gens. I'm the first son of the first son of.... of the first son of Captain Salla, one of the 3 captains of Ulqin, with their lair in Valdanos, the Albanian pirates of Adriatic. My familly converted to trader in 18th century, and lost all their ships after WW1 because they were registered in Austro-Hungarian convoy, and were given to Italian Empire after Versaille treaty. But after comunism in Albania, we lost the 11ha Estate and the 18th century merchant house in the Scutary. At least we survived to tell the tale 😅
wow
This legit?
@@theoutlook55 yes
@@theoutlook55 I've tried to reply a long text, but youtube keep deleting it, maybe because I used external links to add as proof.
Some of the most famous Ottoman admirals and Privateers were Albanians such as Baba Uruc, Hyaredin Barbarossa, Mimar Arnaut, Murat Reis the Elder etc, just like 49 Ottoman Prime ministers were Albanians/Arnauts also.
It is not a coincidence that Albanians were heavily present not just in the Ottoman administration and land army, but also navy.
Ulqin, the centre of Albanians in Montenegro was a centre of Privateers that traded Africans slaves up to early 1800s.
Thank you for your information.
So cool
Can you please make a video on 2nd siege of Vienna by ottomans?
BTW great documentary
good video
"Legally engaging in piracy" never thought i would read that sentence, piracy and legality together
Isn't that what privateers were all about?
Never underestimate the amount of smuggling and black market going on in shipping, it’s not so surprising that governments would organize these kinds of agreements using whatever tools were available.
Before watching: This is the subject of Turkish historian Emrah Safa Gurkan. He is also an active youtube personality. You once commented on one of his videos. Maybe you could invite him.
Edit: Holy molly! I actually was kinda suspicious Gurkan would have aided you in this one!
A shoutout to a few of the other great Barbary Corsairs. Kortuglu both father and son, Jan Janszoon(Mourad Reis), Zimon Danziger, Jack Ward(Jack the Sparrow), and my personal favorite Sinon the Great Jew.
Thanks!
Thank you kings and generals
just a suggestion for a rich platform like yours, you should consider making series on the golden age of piracy
kings and generals is so amazing. For these video i ve u tube in my phone.
There was even a raid in Ireland on Baltimore, a village in West Cork in 1631, referred to as the ‘Sack of Baltimore’.
And one in Iceland in 1626
Make videos on Dutch pirates who became corsairs
One man's pirate is another's privateer. Thank you for the video. Happy Thanksgiving. ☠ 🦃
A great video tho it lacks much info on the eastern side of the Mediterranean and the damage donne there by the aforementioned corsair, plus it was Konstantinoupolis or konstantiniye at the time, istanbul was a phrase referring at going to the City. Still a high quality video again.
I like watching your videos very much, please have Turkish subtitle option
Love my Muslim bretherins!!! ☪️
Thank you so much for this video! Being from Germany, we learned a lot about German history in school, as well as a general overview of European and North American history - all from a German/European perspective, of course. Not to say that this is bad, but there is SO MUCH more out there I'm discovering now! Thank you for making a video where 90% of the information provided was unknown to me. I learned so much today, both in terms of a general overview (time frame) as well as loads of details (bureaucracy)! And I could connect it to so many details I know from European history (Golden Age during 30-years-war > makes sense). You very literally broadened my inner map and I can't thank you enough for it!
I took a course on this topic when I was a student at texas state! Not many people know about this stuff!

I Love these K&G Ottoman series!
This should must make the movie title "Pirates Of The Mediterranean Sea" 👍👍👍
Just dont mention the fact that many of these corsairs were per historical sources, full blown slave raiders. That's what i heard.
