History of the Ottoman Empire: The Conquest of Europe

The Ottoman Empire began its journey as a small entity in Asia Minor, but within a few decades it became the main threat to Europe. In this video, you will see how the Ottomans crossed the Bosporus, seized the Balkans, defeated the Crusaders, and advanced toward the heart of the Christian world. From the first conquests of Orhan I to the Battle of Kosovo, from the siege of Constantinople to its fall in 1453 — we will show the rise of a powerful empire that changed the fate of Europe. How the sultans built their power, which military campaigns brought success, and how ships were carried over land to the Golden Horn — all this and more in our visual story. #history #documentary
