TAMERLANE DEFEATS OTTOMAN SULTAN 1402 BATTLE OF ANKARA ANGORA
The Battle of Ankara or Angora was fought on 20 July 1402 at the Tchubuk plain near
Angora between the forces of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I (Bajazet) and Timur
(Tamerlane), ruler of the Timurid Empire. The battle was a major victory for Timur, and
it led to a period of crisis for the Ottoman Empire (the Ottoman Interregnum).
However, the Timurid Empire went into terminal decline following Timur's death just
three years after the battle, while the Ottoman Empire made a full recovery, and
continued to increase in power for another two to three centuries.
