A proposito di questo titolo

 In 1402, Tamerlane shattered the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Ankara, capturing Sultan Bayezid I. The sultan's death in captivity plunged the Ottomans into a twelve-year civil war known as the Ottoman Interregnum, or Fetret Devri. While Tamerlane restored the defeated Anatolian beyliks and marched home to Samarkand, Bayezid's four sons—Süleyman, İsa, Musa, and Mehmed—fought a brutal fratricidal war for the throne. This episode traces the interregnum's bloody course: Süleyman's European alliance, Musa's Balkan campaigns, and Mehmed's eventual victory that reunited the empire. We explore how Tamerlane's victory inadvertently created the conditions for a stronger, more centralized Ottoman state under Mehmed I, and whether the Ottoman recovery was inevitable or a near-run thing. Along the way, we discuss the role of the Byzantine emperor Manuel II, the Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević, and the crushing battle of Çamurlu that ended the conflict. The episode ends by asking: did Tamerlane's mercy in not destroying the Ottoman state plant the seeds of his own empire's eventual eclipse?
