==Contexto==
Tamerlán era o máis poderoso gobernante de [[Asia Central]] desde a época de [[Genghis Khan]]
Timur had conquered [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and [[Azerbaijan]] in 1390, expanding his empire to the borders of the Ottoman Empire. The two powers soon came into direct conflict. Bayezid demanded tribute from one of the [[Anatolian Beyliks]] who had pledged loyalty to Timur and threatened to invade. Timur interpreted this action as an insult to himself and in 1400 sacked the Ottoman city of Sebaste (modern [[Sivas, Turkey|Sivas]]). Beyazid was stung into furious action and when Timur invaded [[Anatolia]] from the east, Bayezid summoned his forces and confronted Timur's forces near Ankara. The conflict, overall, was the culmination of years of insulting letters exchanged between Timur and Bayezid.
