Definitely to be considered.
Could the Ottomans be more easily defeated during their interregnum from 1402-1413? This question is mainly addressed to Snake Featherston.
Hello!
Logically, yes, but... it need a battle of nikopol won by Sigismund, otherwise like OTL, Sigismund somehow lose his enthusiasm to face the turks.
Barely escaping with his life, its understandable.
But, making Sigismund victorious, thus practically the whole crusade victorious would put the turks into deep trouble some 5-6years earlier, trouble deep enough to butterfly away the whole Timur-Bayezid misunderstanding
Conclusion: I dont think so.
Oh, and the armed mobs nonsense: strawman.
While the janissaries were well above average quality, they were no terminators and were not that numerous.
The numerous ones were the asabs - imagine a press-ganged vlach peaseant, and you got it.Except he dont fear his superiors that much.
