The multilingual, multi-religious and multicultural social structure of the Ottomans, defined as an empire, had literally begun to form during the time of Mehmet (II). Its purpose, which was also reflected in the law of the organization, was aimed at taking away the rights of other male children other than the one who seized the reigning. This, whether it was necessary or not, had led to the emergence of a strong and effective opposition. The opposition that developed against the Ottoman administration was not limited to this. At the same time, new efforts for power were manifesting themselves outside the members of the dynasty. The opposition to the Ottoman central authority, which was formed under three headings, existed at the initiative of Turkmen groups, one of which felt marginalized in Anatolia. One of the different socially, politically and economically based efforts was to create new power carried out by Sheikh Bedreddin at the beginning of the fifteenth century, and the other was to seize the Ottoman power by Shahkulu at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The common point of the two movements, which differed from each other in terms of their emergence, supporters and goals, was that they were supported by heterodox kizilbash groups that felt excluded in Ottoman Anatolia. In this study, the historical background, justification, formation form and consequences of the efforts of Sheikh Bedrettin and Shahkulu for a new power based on the kizilbash doctrine and social base, which are considered as a rebellion against the central authority in Ottoman sources and defined with very harsh expressions, will be examined, and the social decomposition created by the empire will be focused on the reasons for its reaction.
