You can't help but laugh at the Ottomans and the Hapsburgs, who spent centuries on end fighting each other, only to lose both their empires whilst fighting side by side.
@Antonios Dimoulas stadyum? Machine guns? Your facts are wrong. Machine gun wasn't invented yet when janissaries destroyed by sultan Mahmut ll at 1826.
Janissaries where Kidnapped Christian kids from the Turkish occupied lands at early age from their Christian families, so they can be trained and serve the needs of the Ottoman Empire. Ultimately the janissaries been fooled into going in to enclosed stadium to vent their grievances. On the top of the stadium were camouflaged machines guns, as per the order of the Soutane, mowed them all down. The Janissaries were no longer a threat to the Sultan and it was the end of them.🥷🙀✌️
@Maciej Piasecki Those will come, no worries about that one, but if you want to start from the beginning, you'll see that their earlier videos on Ottoman history are not on the same level as their current videos. BTW, there is a great video about Vienna and Khotin from a channel called Sand Rhoman history, or something like that. He's good, but not on the same level as Kings and Generals
@Augustiniu Mihaila First of all most of the wealth of the world was held in warm climates for the majority of history. Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus valley, Southern Greece and Italy. So, there usually was no reason to invade places like Romania. As regards to the Arabs, they were some of the fiercest fighters ever, many a time being outnumbered 3 to 1 on the low estimates, they literally didn't have swords or armor for the most part, and still defeated the Romans, Persians, and the formidable Northern African roman city-states. You don't even have to look far, just watch the K&G: Early Muslim Expansion. But people like you were fed propaganda, no one ever wanted those forests in Transylvania or Wallachia it was a flex for the Ottomans.
@flks we are thankful because we barely hear anyone talking about us except in negative conotation :)) this is actually better than what we even learned in our own schools where we only had boring text with an occasional low resolution portrait or smth so not even our own country respects our history
@Simionescu Georgeta Say Islam is evil how much you want, Transylvania would’ve been part of Hungary. There’s Orthodox Christian Regimes like Greek Junta (1974) and Russian Empire (1721-1917). There was Nazi Romania and 𝕾𝖊𝖗𝖇𝖎𝖆𝖓 𝕰𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖗𝖊 2.0, er Yugoslavia and Rednecks, I mean Chetnik. Ottoman Empire only liberalize the world.
@𝕾𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖑𝖎 𝕰𝖒𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖔𝖗 Thank you?! I guess?! The real fact is that Imperialism no matter what sort might be: Islamic, Catholic, Colonialist or Communist is the real evil in the world.
I've heard a lot about Michael the Brave. He was an exceptional battle winner. He was a very fun to hear about. Shame what happened to him. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
@Gert Coku I don't know how "legendary" sounds in different ears, but yes, Gyorgy Basta . For us, romanians , Basta is at same legendary level as Stalin or Putin.
Though the Sipahi were a problem for Ottoman stability, a bigger threat were the Janissaries. The Janissary forces were already disgruntled with the Sultanate as far back as the waning years of Suleiman the Great's reign, when political intrigue led to the assassination of Suleiman's heir Sehadze Mustafa, by his father's bodyguards (who went full Emporer Aurelian on the poor kid), and the ascension of Selim II as crown prince. The underhanded manner in which Selim ascended made him look weak to Janissaries (and Mustafa was a proven leader), and led to tensions with Suleiman. Selim proved their suspicions, as he was an ineffectual hedonist who spent most of short reign in feasts and drinking parties with his cronies. After Selim's death in 1574, the Janissary leaders briefly reconciled with new Sultan Murad III, an unmistakably pious man compared to his father. But Murad's reign was an unhappy and calamitous one. Anatolia had seen a population boom under Suleiman and Selim, but the 1580s brought severe drought to Anatolia, causing mass displacement of agricultural workers to major cities, saturating labor markets and reducing wages. And then while all of this was happening, Turkey and the rest of Europe were inundated with cheap, high quality Spanish silver from the mines at Potosi in Spanish Peru, causing the debased Ottoman silver coinage to lose value drastically due to inflation. Unable to earn fair wages, Ottoman laborers became increasingly restive. More importantly the Janissaries forced Murad III to become a virtual prisoner of the Tokapi Palace, where he stayed constantly to prevent a Janissary backed rival taking control of the state. Another looming problem were the Jelali, part time militiamen specializing in musketry and who were mercenaries for the Porte or its regional officials, and now couldn't earn wages as either civilians or soldiers.
@TheSamuraijim87 the slaves were loyal to only the master that bought them. They weren't loyal to his dynasty. The janisarins were unique in that they were loyal to the ottoman dynasty as a whole
Michael the Brave had a remarkably disciplined army. Attacking a superior enemy and then tying to pull off that tactical retreat with most other armies of the period would have ended with the force disintegrating into a panicking mob but his guys pulled it off.
His army was made mainly of mercenaries from Serbia, Albania, Székely troops and a contingent o infantry from the Prince of Transilvania. He understood that a national army made of peasants could not cope with modern war of that time so he made his army of paid professionals. His main problem was the money to finance such an army. When the money dried out he was forced to abandon his enterprise and go to Viena to ask for help from Emperor Rudolf.
Hilarious, the ottomans chase the romanians past their cannons into the countryside and get turned back by their columns, retreat then the Romanians get back to their cannons and blast them to bits.
He wasn't named Michael the Brave for nothing. The man was an absolute chad with huge balls. He was a descendent of the royal families of Moldova and Wallachia, also by his mother side he was related to the last roman family that ruled Constantinopole, the Cantacuzinos. Next episode will be how with his allies he overcomes the ottoman army at the bridge battle over the Danube, the battle of Giurgiu. It isnt mentioned in the video but when the wallachian army was pushing back the ottomans, Michael knew the advantage will be lost soon, so he did what Sinan Pasa did, he gathered his personal retinue and dived in the middle of the battle, cutting janissaries left and right. This acted as a morale boost for his soldiers as they pushed the ottomans even more.
@Nenenin Donu wouldn't say luck there's plenty of these type of Christian heroes who completely fucked ottoman armies left right and centre with small un profitional armies, ottomans had a very hard time in Europe and mostly towards the end people like Micheal the brave, Stephen the great and skanderbeg made sure of this.
علي ياسر the lands were about to be conquerered. After very huge taxea in the last 100 years ( 1500-1600). Ottomans broke treaties, made communities and mosques north of Danube, which was forbiden
The most painful and well-known part of this war for us Turks is the destruction of most of the Akıncı cavalry units, which had served the Ottomans for hundreds of years, due to the greed of Koca Sinan Pasha. While the Ottomans were withdrawing, Koca Sinan Pasha had a stand set up on the opposite side of the bridge to distribute the spoils, although it was dangerous, and said that no one could cross the bridge without sharing the spoils. Therefore, the Ottoman army lost a lot of time during the bridge crossing. Meanwhile, the Wallachian army, which followed the Ottoman army, caught up with the Akıncı cavalry units, which were in the back row of the Ottoman army. And they killed most of these troops by firing artillery. The raider cavalry units could not recover after this incident and were dispersed.
Ben Moldova/Romanya vatandaşıyım ve çok iyi tarih eğitimi aldım ve bu savaş hakkında ayrıntılı bilgi sahibiyim, ancak burada ortaya koyduğunuz ayrıntıları bilmiyordum. Bize Sinan Paşa'nın bazı stratejik hatalar yaptığı söylendi ama ne olduğunu bilmiyorduk. Şimdi anlıyoruz. Çok teşekkür ederim. Türklerin organizasyonu ve diplomatik ilişkilerde ne kadar usta oldukları beni her zaman büyülemiştir. (DeepL ile çevrilmiştir)
They've found nearly a million silver coins, 600 thousand golden coins and sable furs (which is the most valuable animal fur in fur market). He was a corrupt man.
Michael the Brave really deserved his name. Retreating at the right moment just to preserve the lives of his soldiers proves he wasn't only brave, he was smart and respectful of his unit too. That cannon situation was funny though, didn't know it happened 😁
For anyone else interested on the romanian side of things HistoryMarche's channel has a brilliant and very detailed series on Michael of Wallachia. Very recommended.
When I realized Michael the Brave was going to show up, I got so excited and felt well researched. Then to actually see him and watch him do his thing, remarkable. I do wonder if the troops that pursued Michaels army after the feigned retreat, did so because he did cause a great deal of atrocities against the Ottomans. Their hate for him was probably so strong, since the call to war against him raised such a large army.
@Emre Nuriyev niye rahat kazanıyorlar peki? Sırf antitez olsun diye söylemişsin gibi geldi. Gerek yok böyle şeylere, rasyonel başlayıp rasyonel bitirmeli.
Finally a video series on Micheal the Brave my favorite person in Romanian history he came from a prince of a broke nation to ruling at all three Romanian principalities
That amazing expensive armor everyone saw on him on paintings... when he saw that his troops needed morale, he's take the damn thing off and charge in front of them. Hence how he got the nickname.
definitely excited to see this series continue, I've been waiting a long time to see you cover the war between the ottomans and Mihail the Brave, who is definitely one of the most interesting characters in Romanian, if not world history. Awesome work!
FINALLY. We need more videos about romania and its leaders: Stephan the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Mihai the Brave, Mircea the Elder, Iancu de Hunedoara etc.
@Yusuf Eren again you? The "Hungarian history" books don't mention that it was the Czar himself that requested help from the Romanian army? The guy got into big trouble south of Danube.
I actually love this series on the Long Turkish War, because one of the combatants in the war was an Englishman by the name of John Smith, and a few years later, he would go on to play a role in helping to establish the Jamestown Colony, in Virginia.
Excellent video, I am truly thankful that you offer such great content for free. My only complaint is that you should have mentioned the fact that the majority of the orthodox rebels were Serbian, and that Koca Sinan Pasha organised the Burning of Saint Sava's relics in Belgrade as revenge. As Saint Sava is the most venerated Serbian saint, this event is seen as very important in Serbian history.
@bog dan Yeah, but I don't think they covered the parts of the war where he played a more significant role. If they do mention him, it will probably happen in one of the later videos in the series
17:17 They literally did not even touch the abandoned cannons, lol "Sir, what about those cannons?" "We deal with them later. Our janissaries will mop the floor with the enemy troops. Let's rejoice in our victory!" --- Hours later --- "Sir, the enemy is advancing!" "What?" "They're back, pursuing our janissaries!" "WHAT?" "And... and they're manning their cannons we didn't touch!" "WHAAAT?!?"
I think you should remake some of the older videos from the Ottoman wars series, and also start it with the Battle of Maritsa river in 1371, since that battle essentially decided the fate of the Balkans and opened the way for the Ottomans to conquer large part of Europe.
Wow so nice, I am watching this channel for more than two years and I wanted to see some battles where my country Romania was involved because we had some very good military leaders in the past (like Butebista,Decebalus, Stephen the great ,Michael the brave and Antonescu) and now I had that moment and I was screaming of excitement 😜😜😜😁
I think the next video will tell about the heavy defeat of my favorite military unit, "Akncılar", in the Battle of the Bridge so that they will never be the same again. It will be very enlightening for me to hear from you how these soldiers, who shot arrows on horseback, were fast like the wind, were strong, talented and brave, were massacred by Michael.
Love your channel! Keep it going even if some source are debatable nonetheless love the animated video. Been waiting for you to do ancient to medieval era of Malay Peninsular. It would entertaining as many civilization had their fair share in the land and sea wars there. Plus in the Malay Peninsular may have interesting history that got to do with your other channel, Wizard and Warriors
There is a two part film epic about Micheals life, its a soviet era super production that makes a depiction of this battle in its first part. In case anyone wants to look into it.
A Romanian legend tells that Sinan Pasha feel off the bridge and lost his last two teeth. Not sure this actually happened, but it would have been fun to mention it.
The interesting thing is that two direct descendants of Michael the Brave are alive right now and live a simple life in Romania and few know about them.😁😁😁😁😁
Love this looking forward to the next one I've watched all as far as I know of the ottoman videos at least 3 times lol to finally catch one on the first day it's uploaded is exciting!
1:57 State of Ottoman Empire in late 16th century 6:37 Renewal of conflict between HRE & Ottoman Empire 11:15 Pope Clement's Holy League 13:17 *Battle of Calugareny* (1595) (Sinan Pasha Vs Michael the Brave of Wallachia)
Just saying but I can’t wait to see you cover the Crimean war, the Balkan wars and the Russian Turkish war of 1768-1774 and the Russian Turkish war 1787-1792 and I’m interested in the war of 1787 and 1792 because fighting on the side of the Russians was a man who is sometimes referred to as the father of the United States Navy and this man was John Paul Jones.
Would be nice if you would cover the Battle of Teisani (1602) when Han Gazi Ghirai toghether with 40000 tatars invaded Wallachia. They battled for 3 days and since the battle was undecided and the Han himself was wounded, the Han's nephew who was the strongest of the Tatars called upon the Wallachians for a 1 on 1 duel against him, to decide the outcome of the battle. Stroe Buzescu who was one of Michael the Brave's captains accepted the challenge. All though Stroe's physical strength and size weren't on par with that of the Tatar and he wasn't in his young years anymore he managed to win the duel and behead the Tatar warrior and with this secured the win for the Wallachians. Unfortunately Stroe himself also died days later because the Tatar had poisoned the tip of his sword.before the duel started.
Indeed my friend. These guys gave everything for their country and for that we should always remember and appreciate them regardless in what camp they fought.
HistoryMarche channel here on youtube covered also Michael The Brave story...was a huge audience for their channel , because not many know history from Balkans and what they faced for many centuries of ottoman occupation, but some brave men pick the sword and fought for their freedom in their lands...they tried ,with facts ...and strong leaders in Wallachia - Vlad The Impaler of Michael The Brave or Stephen The Great in Moldova , their battles to escape from Ottoman Empire must be known for history
București (new one established by Vlad III, Bucharest in English) and Târgoviște - old one. Mihai Viteazu (Michael The Brave) also set the new capital for the United 3 Principalities in Alba Iulia, albeit briefly. Alba Iulia is considered the 2nd capital and its citadel is the biggest in the country, it absolutely huge.

@Juve Few islands ?
@Renáta Béres Renata , Hungary did NOT EXIST at 1595 .
Alas, all empires come to an end.
@Bryan Peralta France still has an empire.
"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Austrian."
"What about side by side with an ally?"
Finally a continuation of Ottoman series! I feared this series has been canceled, it's great you're back with it :)

As a Romanian native, I congratulate your work. It's a delight seeing in action battles I've only read in books. Great job.
@Claudiu Zeriu historymarche's covering was epic indeed
@Mahaa Waryaa Sure, but not on this topic.
@Augustiniu Mihaila Of course you would say something like this. You have a lot of learning to do.
@Mahaa Waryaa You have no idea what you state .... Just stop or you'll be ridiculous.

Thanks for covering my country's history! This battle is also very important to us and our culture.
@flks we are thankful because we barely hear anyone talking about us except in negative conotation :)) this is actually better than what we even learned in our own schools where we only had boring text with an occasional low resolution portrait or smth so not even our own country respects our history
It's history of a continent. So you don't need to be that thankful or feel special I guess?
@Aaron Paul kings and generals always seems to be sympathetic toward empires whether its Romans, Mongols, Ottomans, or British.
@oh yeah yeah must be Romania.
As a romanian it brings me such joy to see K&G presenting one of the most important battles in my nation history

What an epic battle this must have been. Michael the brave is a really well deserved earned title
I've heard a lot about Michael the Brave. He was an exceptional battle winner. He was a very fun to hear about. Shame what happened to him. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
@Augustiniu Mihaila Always had the impression that the betraying merc was Italian, at least that is how I learned it.
@Gert Coku There are some references to him as being croat, other references as being italian of albanian origin. I don't know for sure.
@Augustiniu Mihaila legendary in a sense that has won a lot of battles ..He is albanian right?
@Gert Coku I don't know how "legendary" sounds in different ears, but yes, Gyorgy Basta . For us, romanians , Basta is at same legendary level as Stalin or Putin.
@Augustiniu Mihaila Are you saying the legendary general Gjergji basta?
When you realized the short Turkish war isn’t enough you have to go for a long one
@TheOneF The host is from Azerbaijan, however the narrator is English I believe
@Enes Bilgin lol no, his voice and accent is the typical Southern White Englishman

@Riya Ali i know, i said as much. Thank you
@boz They weren't actually slaves. They were elite troops.
@TheSamuraijim87 the slaves were loyal to only the master that bought them. They weren't loyal to his dynasty. The janisarins were unique in that they were loyal to the ottoman dynasty as a whole
@Mohamed Ramadan exactly, but slave armies could and did rebel against their dynasties all the time.
@TheSamuraijim87 the janisarins were loyal to the ottoman dynasty as a whole. You can compare them to other slave armies in the islamic world
Michael the Brave had a remarkably disciplined army. Attacking a superior enemy and then tying to pull off that tactical retreat with most other armies of the period would have ended with the force disintegrating into a panicking mob but his guys pulled it off.

Calugareni can be considered as the reboot of the Battle of Vaslui in 1475
@Crescent the battle of Vaslui did has some importance, as it was a big setback for the Ottoman Empire, slowing down its conquest of Europe.
@mihai lupu Both vasuli and valea alba was useless as vasuli didn't prevented the Ottoman to vassalize Moldavia few years later
@Crescent Valea Alba was more of a tactical victory. Mehmed not acomplishing anything in the campaign.
Hilarious, the ottomans chase the romanians past their cannons into the countryside and get turned back by their columns, retreat then the Romanians get back to their cannons and blast them to bits.
@N1C5 vasuli got avenged at valea Alba tho
He wasn't named Michael the Brave for nothing. The man was an absolute chad with huge balls.

@Narkisszosz Koca Sinan Pasha is one of the richest grand viziers in Ottoman history.
They've found nearly a million silver coins, 600 thousand golden coins and sable furs (which is the most valuable animal fur in fur market). He was a corrupt man.
Thank you it was interesting to read.

Finally a video series on Micheal the Brave my favorite person in Romanian history he came from a prince of a broke nation to ruling at all three Romanian principalities

Not only him, but also all of his troops. I love bravery💙
Ah yes finally the Ottoman wars series is back!
Glad to see the Ottoman series back! Every video from you (and W&W) is a knockout hit. Keep up the quality work!
definitely excited to see this series continue, I've been waiting a long time to see you cover the war between the ottomans and Mihail the Brave, who is definitely one of the most interesting characters in Romanian, if not world history. Awesome work!
FINALLY. We need more videos about romania and its leaders: Stephan the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Mihai the Brave, Mircea the Elder, Iancu de Hunedoara etc.
@Yusuf Eren similar to how Hungarians took advantage of Romanian stupidity to dominate and discriminate Romanians for some hundreds of years.
@Yusuf Eren again you? The "Hungarian history" books don't mention that it was the Czar himself that requested help from the Romanian army? The guy got into big trouble south of Danube.
@Gigi Kontra Romania did not fight for independence. They took advantage of the Turkish-Russian war
Or the war of independence
Gotta respect the Ottoman war machine, taking casualties that would cause other armies to crumble but they didn't hear no bell.
@Sid P , then get screwed by their own
Just wait till you find out that the Russians kick their ass so hard they never recovered
I actually love this series on the Long Turkish War, because one of the combatants in the war was an Englishman by the name of John Smith, and a few years later, he would go on to play a role in helping to establish the Jamestown Colony, in Virginia.

@bog dan Yeah, but I don't think they covered the parts of the war where he played a more significant role. If they do mention him, it will probably happen in one of the later videos in the series
Also, it worth mentioning Baba Novac, which was a captain in Michael army, a big, bad serbian who fought until his death at 80 years against turks.
Love this channel!
More about Romanian history!
Big like!
17:17 They literally did not even touch the abandoned cannons, lol
"Sir, what about those cannons?"
"We deal with them later. Our janissaries will mop the floor with the enemy troops. Let's rejoice in our victory!"

I think you should remake some of the older videos from the Ottoman wars series, and also start it with the Battle of Maritsa river in 1371, since that battle essentially decided the fate of the Balkans and opened the way for the Ottomans to conquer large part of Europe.
Wow so nice, I am watching this channel for more than two years and I wanted to see some battles where my country Romania was involved because we had some very good military leaders in the past (like Butebista,Decebalus, Stephen the great ,Michael the brave and Antonescu) and now I had that moment and I was screaming of excitement 😜😜😜😁
Antonescunu nu a prea realizat nimic important ca si om militar, nu a castigat nicio victorie importanta
Finally you guys again give credits to those who knew they had no chances but they stood up to all challenges.
Mikhail be like
"We gonna do a feigned retreat...
Accidentally"
The Ottomans are back!
*drops everything to watch*
My favourite series. Thank you Kings and Generals.
A series on the Long Turkish War is a dream! Looking forward to it.
I think the next video will tell about the heavy defeat of my favorite military unit, "Akncılar", in the Battle of the Bridge so that they will never be the same again. It will be very enlightening for me to hear from you how these soldiers, who shot arrows on horseback, were fast like the wind, were strong, talented and brave, were massacred by Michael.
Battle of Sisak. You are really high tier. Nowhere can a man find a channel that can cover the topics in such a depth.
Romanians had great leaders in the middle ages: Stephen the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Iancu de Hunedoara, Mihai the brave, Mircea the elder
More ottoman empire history. Wohoo. This is what I wanted the most. Love your W&W channel as well. Keep up the great work.💪
Always interested in ottoman history well done guys 👍
I always love the Ottoman videos. Keep them coming!
If you guys want to learn more about Mihai the Brave i suggest the HistoryMarche series, one of the best I've ever seen.
Love your channel! Keep it going even if some source are debatable nonetheless love the animated video. Been waiting for you to do ancient to medieval era of Malay Peninsular. It would entertaining as many civilization had their fair share in the land and sea wars there. Plus in the Malay Peninsular may have interesting history that got to do with your other channel, Wizard and Warriors
As Romanian I really appreciate this
Harsh lesson: Never persecute a retreating force from any Balkan country.
Ottoman series involving their conflicts with other neighboring Turcoman Dynasties such as the Ak Koyunlu and Afsharids would be great topics to cover
I am literally dying to see Nader Shah, also (much time later).
agreed
Hahaha nenenin donu ne arkadas ya
@BartmanGS Theres not a single K&G production neither about Afsharids nor the Ak Koyunlu both were only briefly mentioned in unrelated war videos
there are videos about that
As a romanian I am honored by your video. Thank you very much
Awesome video! Your presentations on the Ottoman Empire are uniformly superb.💪⚔
Ottoman Empire there’s no more, like many Empires came and gone in the past.🤣🥲✌️✍️😿🙀
There is a two part film epic about Micheals life, its a soviet era super production that makes a depiction of this battle in its first part. In case anyone wants to look into it.
We are the other KG channel. Fantasy, sci-fi, alternative history, astrology, magic, dark arts, human sacrifice, all that fun stuff.
human sacrifice.. lol
@John Quach They actually made a few videos about them. Check the Pre-Columbian civilizations playlist. They also talk about the Mayans and Incas.
@The_Princeps. Speaking of which, maybe an Aztecs video? (For better or for worse that's what they are best known for)
Human sacrifice? I’m in.
Where would we be without the human sacrifices?! You’ll always have a dedicated follower here wizards and kings 👍
what an amazing video and covering a part of history alot of people dont know much about. cant wait for the next video on the long Turkish war
A Romanian legend tells that Sinan Pasha feel off the bridge and lost his last two teeth. Not sure this actually happened, but it would have been fun to mention it.
The interesting thing is that two direct descendants of Michael the Brave are alive right now and live a simple life in Romania and few know about them.😁😁😁😁😁
Doesn't matter what it will happen and how many they will be surrounding us, we will fight and we will keep our lovely land. Thanks for this video.
Don't forget to check out our new fantasy/sci-fi channel: kzclip.org/video/uYpqolDCIUU/бейне.html
Love this looking forward to the next one I've watched all as far as I know of the ottoman videos at least 3 times lol to finally catch one on the first day it's uploaded is exciting!
1:57 State of Ottoman Empire in late 16th century
6:37 Renewal of conflict between HRE & Ottoman Empire
11:15 Pope Clement's Holy League
13:17 *Battle of Calugareny* (1595)
(Sinan Pasha Vs Michael the Brave of Wallachia)
Another subject I didn't know barely anything about I just knew it happened. I like learning new things 👍🏻 thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for bringing back the ottoman wars I missed them TYSM for bringing them back :) continue the hard work keep it up
Michael the Brave did really deserve the name.
Michael the Brave’s life story is so epic and wild’
Just saying but I can’t wait to see you cover the Crimean war, the Balkan wars and the Russian Turkish war of 1768-1774 and the Russian Turkish war 1787-1792 and I’m interested in the war of 1787 and 1792 because fighting on the side of the Russians was a man who is sometimes referred to as the father of the United States Navy and this man was John Paul Jones.
Great documentary. Thank you Kings and Generals Team.
YES, so happy to see this! One of my favorite eras/wars to study!
Another great video! One of the best channels on KZclip!
Thats what happens when both the Commander and the troops are Brave💪👌💙
Maybe soon we can get a series on the war of Spanish succession? That would be so stinking rad!
Love how your doing on these videos.....hope you can soon finish the Napoleonic wars soon.
Would be nice if you would cover the Battle of Teisani (1602) when Han Gazi Ghirai toghether with 40000 tatars invaded Wallachia. They battled for 3 days and since the battle was undecided and the Han himself was wounded, the Han's nephew who was the strongest of the Tatars called upon the Wallachians for a 1 on 1 duel against him, to decide the outcome of the battle. Stroe Buzescu who was one of Michael the Brave's captains accepted the challenge. All though Stroe's physical strength and size weren't on par with that of the Tatar and he wasn't in his young years anymore he managed to win the duel and behead the Tatar warrior and with this secured the win for the Wallachians. Unfortunately Stroe himself also died days later because the Tatar had poisoned the tip of his sword.before the duel started.
Vlad III The Impaler also solved 2 battles with duels without using the armies AT ALL and won them.
Mulțumim!
We clearly see the results of overconfidence here. thanks for this informative episode.
Finally this series continues
Please upload the next episode of this series as soon as possible
"The flankers getting flanked"
I love the comment section in this channels videos. You dont see Nationalistic arguing back and forth. Just lovers of history
Indeed my friend. These guys gave everything for their country and for that we should always remember and appreciate them regardless in what camp they fought.
HistoryMarche channel here on youtube covered also Michael The Brave story...was a huge audience for their channel , because not many know history from Balkans and what they faced for many centuries of ottoman occupation, but some brave men pick the sword and fought for their freedom in their lands...they tried ,with facts ...and strong leaders in Wallachia - Vlad The Impaler of Michael The Brave or Stephen The Great in Moldova , their battles to escape from Ottoman Empire must be known for history
Been waiting for this, thanks guys.
Kudos from Ro to our Turkish friends! I hope that the comment section won't be bombed by morons.
nice work! we would like however to see as in crusades series, an episode if not more from the ottoman perspective. thnak you!👍
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Great videos, thanks!
Not 100% accurate, but great covering some of Romania’s history. We want more!
That battle was awesome.
You are quite good at finding defeats of the Ottomans :)
Means the battles of Sultan Mehmed III. will be coming soon. Looking forward to that :)
I finished the channel's other Ottoman playlist a while ago and thought I saw it all then this video popped up :)
That was great folks. Really enjoyed that one.
Please carry on the ottoman series
Finalllyyyy!!! Have been waitin sooooooo looong for new Ottomas series.
Also Walachia had 2 capitals Bucharest and Tergovestea ( sorry for spelling)
București (new one established by Vlad III, Bucharest in English) and Târgoviște - old one. Mihai Viteazu (Michael The Brave) also set the new capital for the United 3 Principalities in Alba Iulia, albeit briefly. Alba Iulia is considered the 2nd capital and its citadel is the biggest in the country, it absolutely huge.
Another great video to start my day 👍
I've been waiting for this for so long thanks.
So the ottomans defeats started once a Romanian made it to Adriannople from North of the danube. I kinda love it
Finally Another Video of the Continuation of the Ottoman Wars, Congratulations.
