When Mahmud II began forming a new army and hiring European gunners, the Janissaries mutinied and fought on the streets of the Ottoman capital, but the militarily superior Sipahis charged and forced them back into their barracks. Turkish historians claim that the counter-Janissary force, which was great in numbers, included the local residents who had hated the Janissaries for years.

they are LITERALLY me

JANNYCIDE NOW!

Be honest, how long have you been planning this post

>Janny

>Group created and maintained through child grooming

>Intended to serve the powers that be but instead commanded them as an administrative caste

>Hated by the general population for abusing their power

>Only solution is mass execution

>Forbidden from sexual relations for a majority of their life(technically not eunuchs but effectively eunuchs until 40)

The eternal eunuch strikes again, proving that eunuch is a mindset rather than only castration

>Group of workers- once considered indispensible but now seen as a burden- consider themselves the true masters of an organization.

>Stage a revolt over something nobody else gives a shit about, believing themselves to be irreplaceable.

>Organization takes advantage of the situation to replace them and they are not missed at all.

All those poor Janissaries......

So they were originally an elite corps, but turned into an inherited social class that welfare siphoned off the government. The citizens didn't like that the jannisery class were tax exempt, so they told them to frick off. Sounds like a revolution to me. The jannies were no longer an elite fighting force, but a pseudonobility who did nothing.

Janissaries began as an elite corps made up through the devşirme system of child slavery, by which young Christian boys, notably Serbs, Albanians, Bosnians, Bulgarians, Croats, Greeks, Macedonians, Slovenians, and Romanians were taken from the Balkans, forcibly circumcised, converted to Islam, and incorporated into the Ottoman army.

JANNIES REPRODUCE BY

They were paid regularly

nvm

Many were not soldiers but still collected pay from the empire, as dictated by the corps since it held an effective veto over the state

Chadmin moment

They were cucking turkroaches and got replaced by globohomo modern army. Sad event TBH.
