Meiji Morocco

Except they have enough of a powerbase in Europe that they would be able to survive and hit whatever state is left by Timur. As soon as Timur is dead, that state has little reassurance of survival.

But to could take a some time for the Ottoman Balkan Rump to totally reconquer the area. Frankly I find this TL idea more interesting then Meiji Morocco.

You are severely overestimating Osman potential and underestimating any state established in Anatolia. You don't know anything about the hypothetical state, nor do you have anything about the situation the Osmans would be in after being kicked out of their homeland. Aren't you being too quick to judge?

You mean Ottomans right? I know Osman was a sultan.

Osman can be used interchangeably. Ottoman is just a different way of referring to the same thing, the Dynasty name. Osman is the proper way to refer to them while Ottoman is just better English.

Timur can`t destory the Ottomans any better than he did in OTL
Oh, yes he can. To say that he can't shows a complete and utter lack of understanding of Alternate History. Things can always be worse. Just because Timur seriously damaged the Osmans doesn't mean that he could have done far worse to them. For Timur not to be able to destroy the Osmans any better he would actually have to destroy the Osmans.
 
The Mameluks were at an extreme dissadvantage:

The Ottomans have Fire Arms.

The Ottomans have a 300% Larger Army.

The Ottomans have Cannons.

Don't forget that the Mameluks recruited many of their people from Caucasia, and their women thought it detracted form their beusty to have children, making their own population impoosible to keep up without Ottoman compliance.
