La Rebelión Más Sangrienta del Imperio Otomano | Los Jenízaros que Estrangularon a su Propio Sultán

📜 The most powerful empire in the world... destroyed from within. In 1622, the most feared soldiers in Islamic history did something no one thought possible: they dragged their own sultan from the throne, locked him in a fortress, and strangled him with their bare hands. Osman II was just 17 years old. How did the Ottoman Empire—master of three continents—reach the point where its own elite warriors murdered the man they swore to protect? The answer lies in decades of unchecked power, accumulated privileges, and an institution that grew so large it devoured the system that created it. In this documentary, we explore the Janissary Rebellion of 1622: its true causes, its execution, and the legacy that shaped the Ottoman Empire for the next 200 years. 📚 REAL HISTORICAL SOURCES USED: — Fezleke — Katib Çelebi, 17th-century Ottoman chronicler.
