Alt. Hist - Bayezid Crushes Tamerlane
In a massive fluke, Bayezid wins a smashing victory over Tamerlane's force at the Battle of Ankara. Timur himself is killed and his army dissolves. How does this affect subsequent history?

Constantinople dies 50 years early, Turks possibly conquer Mesopotamia ahistorically earlier. The Ottomans will do much better than they did but I doubt they'd turn out far differently.

Overturning Timurid remnant forces in Persia could be fairly easy, maybe the Ottomans would focus on the east instead?

The Mamelukes are still there; also, there is the Balkans to worry about, and I'm not sure that Persia would be totally unopposed to any entry by the Ottomans, considering Tamburlane had to deal with several revolts there which were suppressed only with the most extreme cruelty and slaughter.StarshipTitanic wrote:Overturning Timurid remnant forces in Persia could be fairly easy, maybe the Ottomans would focus on the east instead?
However, my main concern with this scenario is that: It changes the entire history of migration in Central Asia. It changes the entire history of Central Asian Empires (Tamburlane's lasted for a while around Samarkand in Central Asia). And, most importantly--No Timurids=No Mughals.

Ah, yes, the Mughals/Moguls, I forgot about them...
