Byzantine and Serbian wars

The Byzantine and Serbian Wars during the rise of the Ottoman Empire were conflicts primarily in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The Ottomans, expanding their territory, battled against the declining Byzantine Empire, which struggled to maintain control over its lands. Meanwhile, Serbia, a powerful regional entity at the time, also sought to resist Ottoman advances. These wars ultimately led to significant Ottoman victories, the collapse of Byzantine control, and the subjugation of Serbia, contributing to the Ottoman Empire's expansion into the Balkans and setting the stage for centuries of Ottoman dominance in the region.
