Battle of Torvioll, 1444 ⚔️ Skanderbeg's Rebellion - Rise of the Albanian Dragon ⚔️ DOCUMENTARY 

Put the Zenit battle with Georgian subtitles🇬🇪🇬🇪

No totally wrong. The title was from the shqip: Without/Ske - nder/Honour. NOT ISKANDER! In the Time of Ske-nder there is no Turks, Jugoslavs and Greeks. Only Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim Geg&Tosk.

Qàqqqq

This is the start of a nice series. One that I would be greatly interested in seeing all the way through. I just hope you don't neglect the other series that you have going too much.

Hey thanks historymarche I can't wait to electrocute my face

yeah imo hes in the top 5 of all commanders of all time. its just insane what he managed to do. he was in a tiny area all the time with his back against the wall against all odds.

Horses.

He lost 2 times He wasn’t undefeated but had a high win rating nonetheless

He did lose a few times, one of them being the Battle of Krujë in 1450, 3 years before the Ottomans took Constantinople.

Bastard, why you spoiling the story 😂 now I don't care to see the video to the end

There is a movie about him that have been created in 1950s or 1960s during communist regiment in Albania . It's a soviet-albanian production film . But there's a need about a modern film about him with better graphics and sounds .

No he is not deserve to have a movie or series,

Yes the Dream for all albanian people.

​@@robyrobert6576How "the dream"?He was damn real😂😂😂😂🇦🇱💪

@@reefmohammed3553 why do you say that Mohammed? though I agree that hollywood should not make a movie about him. They would degenerate him. no movie about Skanderbeg in Holly degenerate wood.

One of the most underrated generals

Didn't they had an issue that Skanderbeg converted back to Christianity?

@@yibithehispanic albania was christian at the time once the ottomans conqured albania then islam started to spread there

@@arbanpocesta805 Yes indeed, that's why I'm asking if the modern albanians have any issues with Skanderbeg conversion to Christianity

@@yibithehispanic if u no anything about Albania then u would know nationality comes before religion its one of the most religious tolerant countries i dont kno if its the current pope or the one before this one. That made his first visit to albania because 3 diffrent religions coexist together in harmony Plus albania was considered an athiest country for about 30 years We love our national hero regardless of religion

Turkish got the most advances army in 15 century they are Braveheart and lions ,but Gjergj was Ace of that Century, Italians call it Legendary warrior of all time ,his fight with the most supremacy army who terrorize all Europe he should call The terror of all terrors.He got many Braves man in his army ,Lek Dukagjini who was more.powerfull than Scanderbeg was more worrior,Lek.was more.powerfull than him but Scanderbeg made All Arbror principate united with Lidhja e Lezhes .Scanderbeg fight Venice and Otomans in same Year ,Made a victory evan for King Ferdinand.Were Albanian are united they say we born in war and in war we die.If other nation don't have fear to kill we dont have fear to die.Gjergj Kastrioti have God skills for fight he deserves a great Hollywood movie to honor him .

He use Albanian terrain or better Arbnor like his advantages,he use mountains ⛰️ rivers Forrester and marriage to united alliance with other great Albanian as his best weapon 👏

​@@HannaMillerModelLek Dukagjini stronger than Skanderbeg😂 ? Lek Zaharia humiliated Lek Dukagjini infront of Dukagjini soldiers at the Skanderbeg wedding

@erickbehari6740 they had meet each other only in front Otomans ,he was a king of north and was strong like Gjin :)

True, people only say as "France, Russia and Britain managed to beat the ottomans!!"

exactly this tactic use Ottomans to dominate Balkans...they speculate the individualism of these states ,defeating them one by one

What do you think of modern day Turks constantly saying the Ottoman Empire was kind and fair by empire standards and even saying it was the best thing to happen to Europe?

Thanks friend! really appreciate it. best regards to you and the great Bulgarian people.

As an Albanian, thanks for the support. Though it was easy for Skanderbeg since he knew the ottoman tactic. Love Bulgaria from Albania :)

​@@bongeyedolly1732yea.. some nationalist Turks just think the ottomans were kind and friendly, I can't blame them. Some schools teach their kids that their country was always friendly

Good job being you, keep it up, you're doing great

They even made a song about this battle🐙

In front of ALLAH AL-Aziz we will see who KmSkenderbeu was ...Looser

​PAPAZA TAKLA ATTIRAN İMAM what's the name of the song?

ALBULENA PRAP MOR PRITA PRITA NDAL SULLTAN O SE TERDHI DITA

Actually it may have a connection with him because he loved arm wrestling, to convince people to join him he have to proof that he was strong, one of the tests was arm wrestling with them,

Same in BG

I wonder why?

indeed , now i woke up too , i’m from ro too

​@@autariatalili The legend says that he had very strong arms and that no one ever managed to beat him. Maybe that's why!

Are you saying you’re Catholic first ?

@@GjekSelca not really Im a Catholic Albanian(order didn't matter its just how its written), i have the religion you and my ancestors gave their life for , albanian history is deeply tied with catholicism whether you like it or not, religion and country are simlilar to me, but that doesn't necessarily indicate that an albanian muslim is less of a brother to me than a catholic one.

@@Uranium-bh7kt dont disagree but you emphasizing "catholic" is not necessary unless one puts religion first - just checking you in :)

@@GjekSelca Rrnoft Arbnia dhe lavdi Krishtit

And now your society are known as pimps and criminals. Congratulations.

That explains why Albanians hate Turkish people as a Turk I was always confused bc I thought they were big time Allies like Bosnia and Kosovo and turkey I thought Albania was our brothers too but they have a flag that’s anti Turk or ottoman but they turned Muslim from ottoman and they are Muslim today so why do they keep the flag do they also ally to Serbia I feel like skanderbeg is someone Serbia should look up to not Albania , but I don’t know the history so I’m just saying what comes to my mind from a Turkish perspective when I hear that about Albanians flag

@@adamkarasakal8879 They didn't convert by choice....dur.

@@adamkarasakal8879 Turks converted Albanians to Islam by force

Dude he was not Albanian! He was Serbian! His Father and Mother was Serbian! His Brother and all his family is burried in Orthodox Monostery in Hilandar!

I really hope so. In par with the Hannibal series against the Romans and Eugene of Savoy against the Ottomans. Really highlighting Eastern Europe's deep history

​@@SolidAvenger1290 I woudnt say on par with Hannibal. But definitely interesting

@Mortimer Madesen agreed. I meant how HistoryMarche has three series now to showcase into 2023.

​@@MMadesen in contrast with Hannibal , Skenderbeg was never defeated .

@@malokaloMPK too bad the western powers fucked him over

Finally? Many history channels already did they’re not the first.

@@rohansensei5708 In this case I'm just I'll informed :)

Turkey vs Albania Nah I'm jk

Otomans Empire got to many lions man we respect Turks too.

FUN FACTS : 1- Skenderbeg( Đurađ castriot) was Orthodox Serbian by momther side , Epiriot from father side . 2- He was part of Ottoman army but he run away with fake Ferman (sultan order paper) where he with that fake paper took under control mutiple castles . 3- He became Vasal of Napoli and is known to live there for majority of his life and died there from malaria illness. 3- His wars in Kruja that many people know that he was commander was false those wars were part of christian alliance from papat state , venetia , Napoli , etc where 100k troops take part . All albania land had not that many people from baby to old ones. 4- He was unwanted by local population and lords like lek dukagjini , karl topia , Arianit golemi and even his nephew Hamza kastriot fight agaist him . 5- His figure was unknow among albanians until 1920 after christian powers created albania they aslo created their heroes as they wanted . ( By the way this video albulena if you study it was just guerrilla ambushed attacks agaist Ottamans and not regular war , today modern counties call that war , terrorist war . )

@@bigcatsliontiger dot speak like idiot serbs be more educate,dot say bollshit only his mother was with Montenegro origine or maybe serbs ,Kastriot surname isnt with vic in the end

​​@@bigcatsliontiger the ottoman turks named him in their archives as the arnaut, secondly there are arberesh people in Sicily bearing the last name of Castriota till today,go tell them that their famous forefather was a..serb, what a joke man for God sake!

Thank you very much for liking my comment

Some people just don't understand squares on a map making your heart pump.

Napoleon had probably a larger success, in my opinion, fighting 3 major powers and 5 more countries just by himself and his army. Though skanderberg had great feats. Like defeating one of the most strongest armies at the time and being outnumbered.

i'm albanian and i agree. Napoleon is the goat noone is better than him. i think he was inspired by some skanderbeg tactics@@Hussarz

@@Hussarz funnily enough the battle of albulena is used as an example of "napoleonic warfare" before Napoleon in Military history class. I agree Napoleon had some major feats, but we cant compare the difference in strength albania had to the ottomans, France was the mightiest country in europe not to mention he had the support of many people around europe due to revolutionary ideas spreading(like, half the grand armeè was made of foreigners like germans, italians, spaniars and poles)

@@Hussarz Napoleon had state of the arm technology, the turks were losing with a gun powder and cannons

In front of ALLAH AL-Aziz we will see who KmSkenderbeu was ...Looser

His name was Djurdj Kostroit, he was serb

i albanski istoricari kazu da je srbin i svi znate da je djurad srbin.ovo je falisifikovanje istorije koje dolazi iz vatikana.

@@matejasaric22why wasnt he in a serbian principality

stop stealing albanian heroes, you dont have history hahahahahahahhaha @@matejasaric22

​​@@matejasaric22no, Skanderbeg was Albanian-Serb, he was born in Lezhe(Albanian city). Which means that he was mostly Albanian, his real name is gjergj kastrioti.

no lol he was a average general

@@darkz1563 lol stop trolling bro. The man never lost a battle.

Not that obvious, some men thrive in defensive wars, taking advantage of terrain, troops morale and enemy overconfidence, but aren't very good at exploiting large armies and numerical advantages. Take Robert E. Lee, for example. His greatest victories were defensive battles against superior northern numbers, but as soon as he went on the offensive, he got beaten back. Ultimately, it was Grant's mastery of logistics and good use of his numbers and industrial advantage that allowed him (who, by all acounts, wasn't a "tactical genius", unlike men like Mc Clellan) to overcome Lee. Then again, it was a particular context. As were Skanderberg's times and achievements. Don't get me wrong, the man is a genius, but it's a bit of a shortcut to think he'd have been just as great a conqueror as he was a defender for his people.

​@@darkz1563 But that "average general" managed to win while often outnumbered and outgunned.

@@altrias2455 the only problem with that is that he did fight in offensive war in Naples as he had an alliance with Naples and helped crush their rebellion

@@jackiechad5752 lol i hope youre trolling, for your own sake

@@jackiechad5752 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Greeks being ridiculous again all our neighbors are envious and want to still everything from our glorious history . And another thing ancient Greeks don't exist my lovely they are Albanian 😉you know that and that's why you kick so much soon you hear Albanian history day of the truth it's near and we are ready to handle your tantrums 😏

@@jackiechad5752 your statements proof you to be an absolute newby in medieval balkan history

He is a Serb and not an Albanian, see Where half his family is buried. In the biggest and holiest Serbian monastery Hilandar. All of his brothers and sisters has Slavic orthodox names. 🫡🤔

@@jackiechad5752 Okay, where is his father's grave? Let me tell you, in the holiest Serbian monastery, Hilandar, on the holy mountain of Athos. The end .

He held off the ottoman Empire for 20 years inflicting 19 defeats - each time he was outnumbered at least 2 to 1

There are many little known battles of Skanderbeg, they finally started covering unknown battles instead of recycling a few known battles. I congratulate them on this!

Theres much more about him..

This isn’t even the greatest victory. The greatest victory was albulena 10k Albanians against 60k ottomans

Do you ever wonder how they would have fared against Caesar's legio X?

Check out the battle of Albulena on this guy

Even before him Albanians used small armies to face their opponents Albanians were also exellent cavalryman before Skandebeg arrival a pope delegate sent to Constantinople assured the emperor that Albanian were ready to create an army of 15.000 riders if the neccessary funds were given to them

​@@williammillar2892 Check his masterpiece at Albulena the same tactic he will use agaisnt Caesar if that does not work out he would go to north Albanian and ambush Caesar legions there

@@erickbehari6740 thanks it was the Ottomans I meant, as both used large formations rather than skirmishing.

thank you

Priština is in Serbia and Skender Beg (Djuradj Kastriot) is Serbian nobleman. Do some research before write a comment.

@@miroslavoluic4098 oh stop it already

@@miroslavoluic4098 ahahahah Skenderbeu Serbian????......you serbs are so stupied

My ancestors come from northern Albania. Ottoman Turks occupied Albania lands eventually but at an extreme cost which stopped them from further invading Europe. Albanians were the gatekeepers that stopped Ottoman Turks from taking Vatican. If it were not for the Albania sacrifice Vatican would probably be called Istanbul today. Imagine being able to occupy a country or people for 500 years and yet still fail to conquer or assimilate the people. That’s because Albanians already had a developed identity, culture and langue that you could not destroy. Scanderbeg was the mortar that put all these ingredients together and solidified Albanian identity and country. Ottomans invaded the land and found the eagle people who would not kneel to no one. The only thing that makes me sad today is how many history books and ancient artifacts Ottomans destroyed as a sign of revenge to Albanians for resisting. A proud Illyrian here!!! Survived Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans. They all are gone but Albanians still here today. 😂

Check kings and generals about scanderbeg. Torvioll is minor to what he did to ottomans in battle of Albulena near Kruje. 🔥🔥🔥

@Undivided Afghanistan Lol,you don't know what you're talking about,only propaganda afgaystanian😂😂😂😂

skender bio srbin koji tuko muslimane,nema veze sa albancima oni tada nisu postojali.

@@milivojestankovic1419 what the f*ck are you saying 💀

⁠@@milivojestankovic1419Skenderberg was Albanian, nothing to do with serbs, serbs were ottoman slaves at that time

Not even close Arminius needed to ambush and was a coward

Glad you like them! Thank you for the support. Very kind of you!

He didnt do anything impressive

@@khalildz1552 only never lost a battle while outnumbered up to 10 to 1 not impressive

@@khalildz1552 ask the ottomans. They knew never to mess with us, and those who didnt found out

@@khalildz1552 when the ottoman troops found his tomb they made talismens from his bones because they beleived it would give them more courage

Not the best but a traitor he knew Ottoman tactics.

There are more videos about him, check Knowledgia’s and Kings and Generals’ videos about Skanderbeg

Exaggerated!

He was a genius military tactician ahead of his time. He challenged the superpower of the time and beat it every single time.

@@blackcat.19a skilful military officer but exaggerated

I think the will of the Albanians to be free played a role as well, as they say “ I am not scared of the enemy I’m facing I’m more scared loosing the ones I’m defending “

@@admirosmani3765 how so ? Exaggerated on what ?

ALSO VLAD THE IMPALER!

@@ryanrondine8388 😹😹😹

@@ryanrondine8388 do you mean free head tour in Istanbul?

All eventually lost to the Ottomans. LoL

@Undivided Afghanistan yes, slSobieski lost too. He attacked Podolia 4 times, but he was defeated in all of them and asked for peace.

Arminus had Augustus a thousand miles away on the ground crying for his legions back but they’re dead. Yea Arminus was raised in Rome. 😂

@@randomlygeneratedname7171 Indeed was thinking of Herman the German as Arminus is also known as well as Attalia and Aetius, who both spent their childhoods as hostages and early adulthood at courts of the Romans and Huns respectively. Plus Vandel brothers whom conquered North Africa also were hostages as kids in Roman around same period.

Useless Albania

That’s because they have no history at all. They are Russian leftovers the migrated to Europe and occupied land. Lying is part of Serbian DNA. You have to remember that even their name is Albanian. Serb is derived from Albania Shërbej or Shërbtor. They are nothing more than our servants who rebelled and occupied some our our land.

You are Albanian having mental problems comes naturally to you anyway 😅

Ask them why Nicola Tesla from Montenegro have a photo with North Albanian costume traditional, that's maybe 🤔 say smth for his true origin
