And 90 years later Austria dismantled Poland together with Prussia and Russia.What a way to say thank You to Poland

18,000 horsemen cavalry charge... Now I know where Tolkien got his inspiration for the Riders of Rohan charge at Pellanor Fields.

The colors of the polish flag meanings Red:bravery White:loyalty Blue:good allies

And now Vienna gov wnats to remove monument of Sobieski. They found it offending to Turkish minority...

I want to add another reason for why the Ottomans lost to the Habsburgs and the Holy Leauge, a man named Georg Rimpler. Georg was a German mercenary engineer who had excelled at defensive structures and fortifying areas, and had experience fighting the Ottomans. He was in charge of building defenses around the city, which was in no shape ready, because the walls were medieval and held in place by gravity and could easily be knocked down. Georg and the Austrian Commander had just over a week to prepare the city, Georg set up earthworks, palisades, trenches, and defenses in the city. By the end he made the city a deathtrap, slowing the Ottomans as they advanced and giving the garrison and the Holy Leauge precious time. Sadly Georg did not live to see Vienna be saved, he died in the city's hospital after taking serious wounds from a Ottoman mine while inspecting his defenses. He never got credit for the defense and was mostly forgotten.

The Rohan's charge in LoTR must have been inspired by the polish charge against the ottomans...

+33% Calvary combat ability intensifies

That's the night Vienna was freed We made the enemy bleed! AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!!!

"Veni, vidi, Deus vicit" - Jan III Sobieski

Winged Hussars too op pls nerf.

Sobieski was gandalf of europe Greetings from turkey

As Soon as i saw this video I KNEW what would flood the comments... WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!

Interesting enough king of Poland, Sobieski was called by a Turkish army as "The Unvanquished Northern Lion" Gustavus Adolphus: *shaking his fist*

7:51 The Polish "panzers"...the medieval "blietzkrieg"...

My Moeslem friend: "Ottomans were the greatest army in the world and im proud of it". Me as Christian: shout loudly* "Then Winged Hussars Arrives!!!"

Hint from a Turk; the Rorrim Charge at The Battle of the Pelennor Fields in Lord of The Rings Return of the King of Tolkien is largely inspired by Polish Hussar charge in Battle of Vienna. ;-)

Its basically Lord of the rings return of the King. King Thoedens charge.

Turks and Austrians claiming to be the inheriters of the glory of Rome Greeks and Italians: *excuse* *me* *wtf*

Then the winged hussars arrived

You are talking about the 2nd siege of Vienna, which was in 1683. Could you please do a video about the 1st siege of Vienna, which occurred in 1529? I think the reasons why it failed are far more interesting, because nobody came to help the people of Vienna back then.

6:17 "Using the high ground" *shows obi-wan figure* HAHAHAHHAA GENIUS!

I must say the polish have been some the greatest fights the world has ever known, even in world war 2 they fought hard they did fall in a few weeks but to be fair they had Soviets and germans crashing down on them, respect for Poland from USA

so many allies though austria was losing some diplo points

The Battle of Vienna was undoubtedly a great success for the allied forces, but Kara Mustafa's army was beaten but not defeated. A month later the Battle of Parkany took place, which is forgotten - and it was in this battle that the army (this time mainly the Polish Lithuanian Commonwelth) completely devastated and destroyed the Ottoman army.

Left out the bit about the Turks' Tatar allies abandoning them.

Now I see why Maria Theresa object to the partition of Poland.

They only started losing WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Please do the Korean War

They lost because they didn't ban crabs.

After vienna was a second battle Battle of Parkany where Sobieski have defeating Ottomans

7:56 WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Who else smiled when he said the winged hussars led the single largest cavalry charge in human history? “WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!”

Ironoc that 100 years later austria and germany invaded Polish Commonwealth as a thank you for defending vienna

Short answer: The winged hussars arrived

There NEEDS TO BE MOVIE ABOUT THIS. PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!!!!

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!

THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU POLAND FOR YOUR SERVICE ✝️❤️🇵🇱

About 10 to 20.000 Germans were defending Vienna for almost two months, stopping the Ottoman miners from blowing up the walls from below. An additional 50.000 Germans came from throughout the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, only 20.000 Poles came, and Sobieski had to be begged to join, even given much money.

How Vienna was saved: World best cavalry had arrived Polish Winged Hussars! They never lost a battle out number and still won the battle at end of the day!

Easy. They lost when……. WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

I like your videos and the way they are made: Short, concentrating on the essentials and unbiased. Only correction to be made here: It's spelled Kahlenberg (not Khalenberg), meaning something like the bald mountain...

I think it odd that so many seem to ignore or downplay the religious component of this conflict. People try to say that it wasn't a very strong motivation for either side, yet ignore that the leaders of both sides used religion (Christianity vs Islam) as a major part of their ideology for both conquest and defense. The Ottoman saw it as their duty to spread Islam to dominate all other religions, whether through soft power politics or outright conquest. While the Austrians used the common ground of faith to ally with other Christian nations to stop the continued threat that the Ottoman represented for more than a hundred years. Yes there were many other reasons for both sides to fight (greed, ambition, pride, etc.) faith was still a strong motivator.

Suleiman the Magnificent was not defeated because he was not defeated in Vienna. Suleyman's aim was to capture the castles in the region. And he had achieved his goal. However, the Ottoman army was close to the city of Vienna. Instead of ending the campaign, the army returned to Vienna. However, the problem is that heavy (big) balls are not brought. With the lack of balls and the arrival of winter, the siege was removed. In summary, the Ottoman army did not even have a bleeding nose.

Damn winged Hussars, but respect !

We did it

Sobieski respected Turks...Turks respected him. Turkey was the only country in the world who did.not aproved Poland patrition by Austria,prussia(germany) and russia...and for that reason...many Poles rwspect Turkey...so do I

Main cause of defeat: Poland spamming their Calvary unit wasn’t very good for the Ottomans, especially when Austria’s great defense of the area makes it beneficial for the Winged Hussars (AKA Poland’s Calvary unit) to come around.. This caused the Ottoman Empire’s defeat in the battle of Vienna

The biggest error in history of Poland - help Austria. Less than 100 years later Austria took part in annexation of Poland.. Poland should give freedom of hungary & making Polish-Lithuanian-Hungury the stronger country in europe ever

This actually gave me shivers, what an awesome video.

History is just: Our enemy is about to conquer us, but with the power of friendship.........

Wanna hear something really cool? In 1795 Poland was partitioned and ereased from Europe's map. The only country in the world which found partitions illegal, disgracefull and never recognized it was the Ottoman Empire. For many years during meetings with diplomats from around the world, at the very end, when all the diplomats arrived, Sultan asked the announcer: "Has the diplomat from Lechistan already arrived?" After which the advertiser replied that he had not yet.

Small geographical mistake: Istria and its coasts weren't part of Austria at the time, but of the Republic of Venice. As for the rest, great video!

I use to think like you to, until I done my own research. As I’m a very curious person who likes to research world history. There was a lot of casualties on both sides in Anatolia in 1915 during World War One. It was a civil war which the Armenians started and the Armenians lost. Do your research please. The Ottoman Empire was busy fighting the Allies which includes England, Australia, India, Canada, New Zealand, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, France and French colonies and also supported by Russia in Gallipoli. The Ottoman Empire was also fighting the Russians in the northeast part of the Empire known as the Caucasus, and the Greeks in the southern part of Turkey, whilst the Armenians cowardly attacked old men, women and children in Anatolia, which resulted in a civil war which the Armenians lost. Please do your research. Thank you. It’s about time people did some research and thinking for themselves instead of just accepting what is thrown their way and merely believing what is "popular". The Turkish government invited the Armenian government less then 20 years ago in public to produce all documents, archives and others along with historians and lawyers. That both governments have and open them up for scrutiny, the Armenians remained silent and didn’t accept the offer. From the book - "Armenian Genocide" (And if they had lied to us) Reflections on the Turkish-Armenian tragedy by Yves Bénard. "(When WW1 erupted) All the Turks were drafted. Only the elderly, the women and children, remained in towns and villages. The Armenian militias had been waiting for this moment to implement their extermination plan aiming to obtain the "Great Armenia". Driven by a murderous frenzy, they indulged in barbarous acts of indescribable cruelty, over 500,000 victims were raped, disembowelled, crucified, slaughtered, mutilated, burned or buried, and the villages burned." “The relocation of the Armenian gangs and their supporters, who massacred the Muslim people, including women and children, in eastern Anatolia, was the most reasonable action that could be taken in such a period. The doors of our archives are wide open to all seeking the truth.” In regards to the so called “Death Marches” historians allude that Russia and The Ottoman Empire was on the brink of war in that region of Anatolia during World War One, therefore the civilian population of that region mostly Armenians/Kurdish/Turkish were relocated to the Levant for their own safety. Furthermore The Ottoman Empire ruled with justice and equality to all faiths within its borders, even so much as helping other nations. A few honorable mentions helping the Irish during The Great Famine of 1845 to 1852. The Ottoman Empire sent the Irish $$$,$$$ and ships full of plant seeds and food. They especially sent different types of plant seeds so they can grow their own fresh produce for many generations to come. And therefore it’s an ongoing charity till this day. Because the fruit and vegetables are still producing and growing in Ireland 170 years after the seeds were planted in the earth. “The Irish did not forget this favor and put a crescent and star symbol on the emblem of the city and Drogheda Football Club in 1919.” Another football club located in England's southeast Portsmouth Football Club has the Islamic Star and Crescent on their logo as a sign of respect and gratitude to the generous Ottoman Empire. Even today, a school run by the Royal Navy is called H.M.S Sultan. “Sultan Abdülmecid sent naval officers to Britain, once the world's most powerful marine power, for navigation and artillery training. Two frigates, the Mir'at-ı Zafer (The Mirror of Victory) and Çerağ-ı Bahri (The Light of the Sea) anchored in Portsmouth Harbor.” Also in another part of Europe. “The Deportivo football club, a city on the Spain-Portuguese border, also has an emblem with a crescent and star. Mentioned as "The Turks" by its rivals, Deportivo La Coruna opens a Turkish flag in its matches. According to an account, the youth of Galicia, famous for their bravery, supported Ottoman Admiral Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha during the struggle against the Portuguese.” As way of keeping the peace on the European continent. The Ottoman Empire helped stop the invasion of Protestant England in 1570, from mainly Catholic Spain and The Netherlands. “The Pope excommunicated Elizabeth I of England and the might of Catholic Europe was against her, an invasion was imminent. English merchants were boycotted from trading with the rich markets of Europe. Elizabeth I of England responded by reaching out to The Ottoman Empire for help.” Stability and security in the Balkans, Caucasus, North Africa and the Middle East was never again the same after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. That’s a fact. “Turkey supports 170 countries with development aid.” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6enp2KY7b0U.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hub-SyAWFCA.html www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/turkey-supports-170-countries-with-development-aid-124284 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5IHf_p8z1Gk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uKrYq9S9s0U.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mN7Dtn95OiA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kNbYo2KqLT0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ezYfYLogFDU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aNoZtRJ14qE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7YO5B2JM0PM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4pHWjRcNe2I.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HUEXI00rxVY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fvMZSh85Iik.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0oGXENYEztM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wT_Wpdsm5IQ.html “Turkey has broken the dire record of the country hosting the largest number of refugees in the world.” As of 2016 Turkey is hosting 4.3 million refugees. This number is increasing every day.

Many people don't know this, but the Battle of Vienna was based on the Battle of the Pelennor fields.

Very interesting! Greetings from Poland!

This battle saved western civilization

*WE REMEMBER, IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED*

Winged Hussars equal to gandalf cavalary army...

-Ottomans: Let's invade Austria -Austria: Somebody help! -Poland saves Austria -Austria: Let's partition Poland -Ottomans: wtf? history in a nutshell

There is a myth, and I don't think it's anything more than that, that before the battle, Jan III Sobieski met with the Ottoman. The Ottoman Presented Sobieski with a barrel of ground pepper and said "If you eat this, you will win this battle", to which Sobieski smiled and presented the Ottoman with a barrel of black powder and said "If you eat this, you will". Clearly a folklore tale, but a funny one :)

Armchair History: takes opportunity to mention Obi-Wan and the high ground Also Armchair History: fails to take the opportunity to use Sabaton's Winged Hussars song or even Pellanor Fields soundtrack

The background music is from Victoria II .

Cześć i Chwała Bohaterom!

Can i add few interesting facts (?) : 1. Kara Mustafa didn`t lose the password but an eye during the battle and all his harem 2. After coming back to capital Kara Mustafa received a rope to hang himself - so he did it 3. Austria was not interested in anti-Osman pact before the war. Leopold rejected polish offer of such alliance 4. 89 years after the Vienna, Austria participated in "1st Partition of Poland" - that means anexing polish territories together with Prussia and Russia ( ps. please judge the kings not the nations ) 5. How Sobieski died ? He was very sick. On June 7, 1696, Jan III, after waking up, realized that he did not smell his beloved flowers, which mentally completely broke down. He died on the same day.

Used to think the Ottomans may have botched it but oh boy was I wrong. The planning was impeccable. Unprecedented even. It's just that luck wasn't on Kera Mustafa Pasha's side :/

You put wrong flag of Poland-Lithuania in 8:15, shield of the middle is emblem of Vasa house, should be of Sobieski house .

I saw a lord of the rings moment 7:46

Europe: this is printing press. Ottomans: no this is haram in Islam . Conclusion: use updated technology in war by the time

There should be a movie about this

Life comes at you real fast like a Hussar cavalry

its diffrent feeling when u watch this from the place its happening

Amazing!

The virgin Ottomans versus the chad Winged Hussars!

About monarch "fleeing the city": You cannot stay in the besieged city if you would try to get and organize a relief force. Neither walkie-talkies nor mobile phones existed in that time, you know?

@ 3:40 : walls of 200 feet high? 60 meters?? Of course not. In reality they are (or better: were, because most of them are gone) over 10/11 meters (about 30-35 feet). Which is still a pretty high stack of bricks of course.

Kara Mustafa sent the poppy root to Sobieski, claiming that Turkish troops were so numerous under his leadership, and Sobieski answered him by sending a pepper root, with the message that Polish troops, though less numerous, should try to bite them. What's more fun for Poles, Sobieski was not a great commander because there were many better ones like Stanisław Koniecpolski, Stanisław Żółkiewski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, Stefan Czarniecki

Interesting facts about that battle: 1.Polish hussars were the heaviest cavalry in entire europe and everyone was shaking their pants when the name hussar was mentioned 2. Hussar with armour was so heavy that it took 2 men to put him on the horse-once he fell off the horse in the battle it was over for him- he was like a "train" that couldn't move without the tracks(horse) 3. Polish history tells us a bit different events. Hussar's wings were making a lot of noise when he rode the horse therefore our king wanted to use that fact to strike at the enemy at 18:00 at sunset so when turks were looking at the incoming hussars in the sun it made them wonder if it was the attack of the people or winged angels-psychological approach at the enemy. 4. Poles saved Europe from muslims invasion that day and years later entire Europe turns their back on us. Autria in 1772 was one of the 3 nations which erased Poland from the map of the world for 123 years. Nice payback. You all welcome Syrian immigrants these days-seems Poland is the only nation that remembers the past.

How did the ottomans lose Vienna? **THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED**

7:50 WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

And less than 100 years later Austria took part in annexation of Poland....

Jan III Sobieski: Hey, Kara Mustafa! Kara Mustafa: What? Jan III Sobieski: Vienna. Kara Mustafa: I don't get it... Jan III Sobieski: Exactly!

Expect a lot of Sabaton fans to be here, I'm one of them for instance. *WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!*

Fun fact: Following Poland's partitions, with the last one being in 1795, the only country that did not acknowledge the partition of Poland and still treated it as sovereign was the Ottoman Empire due to the respect that they had for Poland reaching back to this battle.

IT'S OVER OTTOMANS, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND

The real life ride of the rohirrim.

Thanks for the shoutout Armchair Historian! Great video btw!

When I was in college, we had a professor in the history who would jump up on his desk and tell this story at the top of his lungs and screaming that it was the most important battle ever because it gave us COFFEE!

I remember living in Poland to work for a company. There was a statue and my Polish friend smiling at me explaining who he was. That guy was the commander of the hussar armies :)

[Insert Winged Hussars Arrived Here]

I'm not even going to bother saying it. Everyone else is going to. What I will do is point out that the Coat of Arms of Poland is an Eagle, and the Coat of Arms of Lithuania is a Knight. Put them together and you get a Winged Hussar

*Insert Sabaton Reference Here*

"The king's meeting with the emperor fell coldly. Leopold I did not take off his hat neither when Prince James was presented to him, nor when Polish banners bent before him during the review of the troops. It demolished Sobieski and all knights . Relations have deteriorated since this meeting. The Austrians stopped supplying Polish troops. They also refused to accept the burial of Polish soldiers in the city, indicating fields and cemeteries further away, where the fallen soldiers from the Turkish army were buried. There have been instances of opening fire to hungry Polish soldiers attempting to enter the city. They also made it difficult to obtain the ships needed to transport the wounded and sick to the hospital organized in Prezburg. After these actions, opinions appeared among Polish soldiers that the emperor had unnecessarily been given relief" Emil Bardysz, medical diary from the Viennese expedition of 1683, Warsaw 1984, p. 20,26

Whenever Poland does good its Western Europe, whenever not, then Poland must be Eastern Europe. Gotta love that double standard...

Poland stopped the Ottomans in 1683 and the bolsheviks in 1919. Both times they saved Europe, both times got divided later. Quite sad when you think about it.

Guy: *Talks about the Siege of Vienna* Me: *WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!*

Fun facts: The Croissant was invented after the siege to commemorate it, hence the crescent shape. Also, coffee beans that were left behind by the Ottomans eventually led to Vienna's numerous Cafes and started the city's coffee culture.

The most important defeat of Ottoman history. After that battle, Ottomans had sufficient resource to get situation under control despite fighting against four major countries but Kara Mustapha Pasha was executed by the Sultan and all Ottoman lines got into disarray. In Turkish history, between 1683-1699 is called 'disastrous years'. It is very ironic that for Polish people whose Hussars had major role defeating the Ottomans, their country was partitioned by Habsburgs. Irony again, Ottomans didnt recognized this partition and accept immigration from Poland. There is still a town called as 'Polonezkoy', means Poland village where these immigrants settled and one of the most decent places in Istanbul.

Armchair historian forgot to play the song by Sabaton when the winged hussars charged into the ottomans
