At the 1402 Battle of Ankara, Sultan Bayezid I faced the nomadic war machine of Timur! Overconfident in his professional standing army, Bayezid didn't anticipate the ultimate betrayal. Alienated by high taxes and rapid central reforms, the Anatolian Turcoman Beys switched sides mid-battle, causing the Ottoman wings to collapse. Though his elite Janissaries fought bravely, Bayezid was captured—plunging the empire into decades of internal rivalry! #OttomanEmpire #Timur #HistoryShorts #BattleOfAnkara #MilitaryHistory #MiddleAges #TurkishHistory
