Turkish history has hosted many great commanders who have significantly influenced world history with their military genius and leadership skills. These commanders have changed the course of not only the Turkish nation but also world history with the wars they have won, the conquests they have made and the strategies they have developed. Here, The 10 greatest Turkish commanders who left their mark on both Turkish and world history!

Fatih Sultan Mehmet: Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the 7th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, conquered Istanbul in 1453 and ended the Byzantine Empire. This victory is considered a turning point in the Middle Ages and the beginning of the New Age. He received the title of "Fatih" with this victory and made the Ottoman Empire a global power.
Alparslan: Seljuk Sultan Alp Arslan defeated the Byzantine Emperor Romanos Diogenes in the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 and opened the gates of Anatolia to the Turks. This victory paved the way for the Turks to settle in Anatolia and the Turkification of the region. It also consolidated the leadership of the Seljuk Empire in the Islamic world.
Genghis Khan: Genghis Khan was a commander and statesman of Turkish-Mongol origin. He conquered a large part of Asia and established the largest land empire in history. Thanks to his strategic intelligence and military skills, he created a huge empire that included today's Central Asia, China, Iran and Russia.
Yavuz Sultan Selim: Yavuz Sultan Selim, the 9th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, managed to triple the size of the empire during his reign. He made the Ottoman Empire the leader of the Islamic world by conquering Egypt and Syria. He made the Ottoman Empire a significant political power in the Islamic world by gaining the Caliphate.
Timur: Timur conquered vast lands from Central Asia to India, from Iran to Anatolia and established a great empire. With his military genius, he defeated huge armies and left important marks on history. His defeat of Yıldırım Bayezid in the Battle of Ankara led to the Interregnum Period in the Ottoman Empire.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey, left his mark on world history with his successes in the Battle of Gallipoli. With his leadership in the War of Independence, he led the Turkish nation to independence and laid the foundations of modern Turkey. His military genius played an important role in the birth of the modern Turkish army and the Republic of Turkey.
Kurshad: Kürşad, the symbol of the Turks' struggle for independence in Central Asia, is known for his coup attempt against China. He tried to end Turkish captivity by raiding the Chinese palace with 40 people, but this attempt failed. Nevertheless, he is remembered as a hero in the Turkish struggle for independence.
Suleyman Shah: Suleyman Shah, grandfather of Osman Gazi, founder of the Ottoman Empire, ensured the settlement of Turks in Anatolia as the leader of the Kayı Tribe. Suleyman Shah's grave, who drowned while crossing the Euphrates River, is known as the only Turkish land outside the borders of Turkey today.
Baybars: Mamluk Sultan Baybars is known for his struggles against the Crusades and Mongol invasions. He defeated the Mongols in the Battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260, stopped the Mongol invasion and protected the Islamic world from a great danger. He also established a strong Mamluk State in Egypt.
Suleiman The Magnificent: Suleiman the Magnificent, who left his mark on the most powerful period of the Ottoman Empire, is also known as "Suleiman the Magnificent". During his 46-year reign, he expanded the Ottoman Empire both in the east and west, reaching its widest borders. He went down in history with his victories such as Belgrade, Rhodes, Mohács, the Siege of Vienna and the Irakeyn Campaign. He left his mark on world history as both a military and political leader.
