The history of Turkish Muslims has now attracted the attention of the whole world. The story of a Turkish settlement that grazed shepherds has won people’s hearts worldwide. And the story of this Turkish settlement that revolutionized the Muslim world, which narrates the history of the great Ottoman Empire, brought everyone back to consciousness.

And their bravery will remain etched in the minds of many for centuries. How the Kayi settlements transformed into a state is clearly stated in the history of the Ottoman Empire. Still, besides the Kayi, there were many other brave settlements whose stories of courage and bravery are recorded in history.

In the time of Osman Ghazi, there were settlements that strongly opposed him, not only the Qa’is but also the Seljuks and Ottomans. That is why such two settlements are the center of everyone’s attention. These settlements continued to look so stubborn, even if the great Ottoman Empire could defeat them.

Germanians lived in Kutahia in Anatolia when the Seljuk Empire of Anatolia collapsed. The word germa comes from Persian and means “warm.” This Oghuz belonged to the Afshar of the Turkish Harezm. All of these settlements went from the Kipkak-Kangli settlement. Those who left their land due to the Mongol invasion after the death of Jalaluddin Khawarazm, these people lived in these lands for some time.

Still, they came from there to Kutahiya, where they painstakingly established their identity. During the era of Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad, many Turks were settling in the region due to the atrocities of the Mongols. In 1270, there were about 300,000 Germanians among them.

The Anatolian Seljuks in western Anatolia, in exchange for all their services, gave them kutahiya as “data.” “Iqta” was a system under which you could live freely on a particular portion of land by paying taxes, and you would also serve those who took taxes. Later, when the Germans decided to give up the Seljuks’ service by paying taxes, the Germanogullos came out of control. They wanted to advance as an independent, influential settlement.

In the early days, many Beras were under the control of Germanogullo, but the situation in Anatolia worsened after the Mongol invasion and Seljuk domination. Many Turkish bays on the border declared independence, and the Germanogullos gained a confession of their independence. They were brave against the joint Mongol and Seljuk systems.

They declared independence in 1280 and initiated measures against Sultan Mas’ud. which is regularly mentioned in the Kurulus Osman series—those who wanted to seize the Sultan’s palace and remove him from the throne. In 1286, the Germans looted the Gargurum area and destroyed Sultan Mas’ud, then encamped against the Mongols and Germans with his army.

Here, many Germanic soldiers were killed, and many were taken prisoner; the Seljuk vizier, Ata Fahrettin Ali, visited Konya and remained in Gargurum to punish the Germans. When Sultan Massoud realized that the Germans who wanted to destroy the Seljuks would no longer attack, he eased the pressure on the Germans.

Meanwhile, Sultan Mas’ud’s army had ten soldiers. Who was captured by the Germans and subsequently released? But on Wednesday, the 17th of Ramadan, the Germans fought a fierce battle against the Seljuk army. They defeated them and released their prisoners. This is considered the first great battle of the Germanogullos against the Seljuks. After this, in 1287,

Sultan Mas’ud again collected his troops and took action against Germanogullo, but this time, Germanogullos could not confront the Sultan. Sultan Mass’ud Kesari returned and invaded and plundered the province of Germanogullo. In 1287, when Sultan Massoud was with the Ilkhani, Badruddin came to Konya for the union of Murat; Badruddin was the son of Ya’qub Bey’s sister, the founder of the Germanogullo. Read More

The Germanogullos differ from the Seljuks to explain the apparent differences with the Vedas of Jacob Bay. Sultan Mas’ud met Badruddin Murat, a particular person, outside Konya, and the meeting was somewhat pleasant, but this peace did not last long; in 1289, clashes broke out again between the Seljuks and the Germans, even the Seljuk emirs on the border took drastic measures. Izzeddin was a particular person of the Sultan.

He took stern action against the Germanogullos and attacked them. The battle took place near Denizli. Izzeddin defeated the Germanians’ army, and Badruddin was killed; Badruddin’s head was brought to Konya, and warning signs were made, but the Germans were not deterred. Sometimes, the Seljuks successfully pled the Germans’ territory, and sometimes, the Germans won.

This period lasted for some time, and after 1290, there was no mention of any significant fighting between the two, as the Seljuks were involved in many other issues at the time. At the same time, the Germanogullos roared with the Seljuks with the Karamanogullo.

The Germanogullos had a competition with the Kayi Ertuğrul Bey, the Kayi also came to the border with the Germanians. Kyra always disagreed with Jacob Bey of the Germans, and his relations with Ertugrul Gazi, the first head of the Germanogullora settlement, became hostile. Rome was also pleased with this hostility because things were complicated with the Germans. The Germans attacked and plundered the Bilazi. But this situation stopped when Ertuğrul Gazi came to this land, and then,

the son of the chief of the Germanogullos stopped these attacks. After the death of Erturul Ghazi, the same hatred remained between Ertuğrul Gazi and Yaqub Bey, which was a reason to harbor a hatred towards Osman Bey, the son of the chief of the Germans. In 1299, Osman Bey was about to conquer a fortress, so he handed Karachahisar to his son Orhan to prevent the Germans from attacking. This shows how intense the enmity between them is.

Two events finally occurred in 1313, for which all these steps were taken. When Orhan Ghazi listened to this, he immediately gathered his troops and fought with the son of the chief of the Germans. Things were always chaotic, with Germans trying to collect taxes from the markets of Yenişehir. People who came there to shop were beheaded. As a result, the differences between the Germans and the Ottomans intensified. Still, in 1318, the Ottomans defeated the Germans, leaving Orhan Ghazi in charge of the army when Osman Ghazi was old and ill.

He launched an attack on the Byzantines. When the Germans resisted, Orhan Ghazi planned to conquer Germanogullo’s territories, so the Germans raised many objections and complained to the Ottomans that Osman Ghazi’s son was pointing the finger at their land. These problems were tangled up during the reign of Sultan Murad, but the Germans were too powerful.

They were divided into two kingdoms. Relations between the Ottomans, on the one hand, and the Karamanogulo, on the other, have never been better. Suleyman Shah, then head of the Germans, paid close attention to the situation and realized he had no choice. He married his daughter to Sultan Murad’s son, Yildirim Bayezid, and gave the Ottomans the most beautiful gift.

The territories have been in Ottoman hands ever since. The Germanians came mainly under the control of the Ottomans when they had long been hostile to the great Ottoman Empire and did not even consider supporting them. They were the ones who were ultimately defeated and joined the rule of the Cosmoans.
