The Ottoman Army underwent considerable reforms after the losses on the Balkans. And under German influence, the military tried to bring the whole army up to the standards of modern war. In a lot of way, the results were decent or even good but supply problems led to a great variety in uniform quality across the 400 year old Empire.

Thanks for video OTTOMAN EMPİRE ❤❤❤❤❤
I like the uniforms of the Ottomans the best in Battlefield 1.The Turks had a good taste in clothing.
best historical channel on youtube. wish to cover other eras and conflicts
ya biri sevabına türkçeye çevirsin şu videoları
Ottoman Empire <3
Thanks for the good comments about Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire's soldiers were so brave. Now Turkey too. Mehter march giving adrenaline to them.
I feel like the ottomans had a coma I'm the 19th century and woke up in the great war so confident about war…
Nice pieces. You still can buy some on the flea markets in Serbia. We took a lot off in the good old days.
If Germans had Kemal Ataturk as their fuhrer in WW2, we would be all speaking German today.
KEBAB NEVER SURRENDERS! You dont need weapons as long as you have quantity ideas and can overwhelm your enemies.
Turks are just like japanese people. I have unlimited respect against Turks and japanese people. Japanese soldiers attacked armed american soldiers just with katana and ottoman attacked france, england, italy, bulgarian and greek soldiers with no ammo just with bayonets
thanks for the special end of the video man. you honorised us (Turks)
Nationalism is like religion. Its a stupid thing to die for. I will only die if it is what it takes to save my family or fellow innocent human beings. But I will not die for a country, a religion, or whatever.
Ahmet Ali Çelikten the first black pilot in the world also served in Ottoman Army.He had quite good equipments.
Ottoman soldiers uniform in western front,sent to help the Germans in Wallachia and Gallichia are the best ones.
spanish subtitles pls
Hey Indie, can you make a video on the Arab revolt or the Sykes-Picot agreement?
#BringbacktheTarbush
The worst years of the Turkish nation. Unfortunately
Great video but, the ottoman cavalry soldiers referred as the kurds is very cursory discourse. Turkish army has a thousand years of tradition on cavalry power. Turkish people literally spend their life on horse-riding. Kurds however has not homogen tradition about fighting, riding eihter.
Ottoman empire was an evil empire. ..it commited atrocities on balkan Christians and genocides like assyrian genocide, armenian genocide and greek genocide
Greetings to my Turkish brothers from AZERBAIJAN ! 🙂
Nichin buralara geldiklerine vakifiz ! Petrolumuz ichin geldiler elbet ! o Kara altin ki …. :)) BF1 long live sultan !!
The thumbnail was a picture of Arab Ottoman soldiers wearing the Arab Shemagh/Kufiyyeh.
Excelente
When fighting with members of VMRO or IMRO, Otomans were loosing 10 to 1.Also they seldom had logistic so they were piliging fron the local people or if they were in Turkish town they were begging for food.
Thank you for telling this information in English.Greetings from Turkey 🙂
Please Turkish translate lyrics
The worst thing happen to our empire was Turks being nationalists. I cant understand how a reigning power in an empire becomes nationalist. Are you fighting for freedom?Nonsense. And youngturks, ittihat ve terakki, hürriyet ve itilaf committees shattered army, and we lost wester part of empire to some small nations like greece, bulgaria… Worst thing for army is competing for power. Especially some pashas(generals) like Enver and Mustafa… Our generals (some non turkish even muslim traitors) become our bane. Since 1900's our army kinda enemy to his own people, his peoples religion, culture and everything.
baba bunun Türkçesi yok mu ?
The uniform of the enemy
ottoman empire come back… cCc
