In this episode, we delve into the rise of the Turkmen Qara Qoyunlu state, which emerged from the migration of the Turkish Oguz tribe. These Turkmen, descending from the Yiva tribe, rapidly expanded their empire by conquering cities like Mosul, Baghdad, and large parts of the Caucasus and Iran. We explore their competition with the Aq Qoyunlu and their impact on the Middle Eastern power dynamics of the time. Discover how they challenged the successors of Timur Lenk and posed a threat to the Ottoman Empire with their formidable military might.
