Battle of Ankara 1402 Ottoman – Timurid War DOCUMENTARY
Despite heavy casualties during the battle of Kosovo (1389) against a broad alliance of the Balkan peoples led by Serbian lord Lazar and battle of Nicopolis (1396) against European Crusaders led by Jean of Never, Sigismund I of Hungary and Mircea I of Wallachia, Ottoman empire continued to expand under the leadership of sultan Yildirim Bayezid I. To the east new empire under amir Timur (Tamerlane) was on the rise and as the borders of two empires touched, the war was inevitable. The battle of Ankara of 1402 was one of the biggest fought between the Muslim empires. At the same time, results of this massive battle impacted Ottoman, Timurid, Byzantine empires and changed the course of the history of Europe, Asia, Middle East and Balkans.

He was a Turk of the Barlas tribe; this tribe, like many others, boasted a Mongol name and ancestry, but for all practical purposes it was Turkic.
~A History of Inner Asia,Cambridge University Press
Once again the invasion came from central Asia; this time it was Tamerlane, a Barlas Turk, who set up a new empire with Samarqand as his capital.
~A Medical History of Persia and the Eastern Caliphate,Cambridge University Press
Claiming to be a distant relative of "Genghis Khan through the female line, Timur was not a "Mongol himself, but from the Turkic Barlas tribe in Transoxania, now Uzbekistan.
~The Oxford Companion to Military History
This claim makes his genealogy problematic, however, since the Barlas tribe of Central Asia was largely of Turkic origin with mixed Mongolian ancestry.

Ruy Gonzales De Clavijo, a Spanish nobleman who went to the palace of Timur to Samarkand as ambassador, stated in his book The Life of Timur & Travels from Kadiz to Samarkand, that Timur was descended from a noble generation of Turk immigrants who boasted of their lineage. [14] While Richard Bulliet says that Barlas has nothing to do with Mongols,[15] Rene Grousset [16] states that Timur's ancestry is based on Genghis in the books written in his time, whereas Timur is not related to Mongols and says that Timur is Turk..
Timur:We are Melik of Turan, Amir of Turkestan. We are sons of Turk. I am the Chieftain of the oldest and greatest nation!

Fun fact: The reserve of bayzied was led by future Sultan Mehmet l
This battle was like the battle of the Pelennor fields in Lord of the rings, the sheer amount of troops in this battle and bloody carnage on the battlefield all with the war elephants is almost incomprehensible by modern human brain.
