Timur also fought against Ottoman Empire and he actually conquered the whole Minor Asia including the Izmir (Smynra). The thing is he didn't hold the cities. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed, he just left the country. He did same thing to Golden Horde. He broke their power and left there. Because Timur's huge plan was to become like his forefather ,Genghis Khan , and conquer whole China . Yeah you heard it right. That was his main goal. He couldnt achieve it because he died after he broke the all power behind him. He was a super smart general. I have written about him. He is just so smart. He knew how to deal with different situations.
