The Origins of the Turks and the Meaning of the Ottoman Conquests
Where did the Turks come from — and how did they become Ottomans?
In this episode of the Hungarian History Podcast, we trace the early history of the Turkic peoples, from the Asian steppes to the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
Discover how a tribal alliance became a global power, and how “Turkish” identity evolved along the way.
What made the Ottoman state so different from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary? And how did these two worlds see themselves — and each other — before the wars began?
Join Szántai Gábor for a deep dive into the roots of the Ottoman world, the transformation of identity, and the looming clash of civilizations that would shape Central Europe for centuries.
🛡️ The only English voice telling the story of Hungary — from the frontline of history.
