100 thousand "warning shots" After all, why call a miss a miss when it still can be repurposed as a warning shot?

​@@SmokecallTurks were so generous they spend 80% of their ammo on warning shots

A lot of them might have missed Remember, the ottomans had big cannons, but that power came at certain **Costs**

Forts in that ear were constructed to withstand cannon shots. They weren't medieval castles anymore.

Also in the siege of Crete at some point the Ottomans started making cannons in Venetian caliber to reuse the cannon balls the defenders fired at them lol

You've misspelled "Skill Issue"

If you really want to make the, angry just remind them that the “backwards Arabs” managed to defeat armies with the more numbers and better armor and conquered more lands then the ottomans every could while the ottomans couldn’t even take that amount of land with double or triple or quadruple that number 😂😅.

@@megalodon3655 just remind them that their own province - Egypt was able to kick their assess in 19th century

​@@TrajGreekFire to be honest everybody kicked there ass in 19th century

@@TrajGreekFireyeah and we kicked everyone’s asses from Iran to Europe to Egypt for hundreds of years? What you want to call it a tie? Sure lil bro, dogging on the ottomans on their last days is like being a single Germanic tribe claiming victory over the entire fall of the Roman western empire. Nah mate there were a lot of factors at play or you couldn’t take that behemoth down. And that is a fact.

Ottomans were surprisingly bad with water . Doesn't make sense at all

​@@mohitanand1844 Being decendants of nomads who didnt a sea at all would do that.

​@@mohitanand1844 not really. I mean ottoman themselves yes, but they had the full support of barbary pirates that kicked some ass for a long period of time, especially Genoans (idk why specifically them)

​@@giorgiociaravolol1998Because Genoans were the main Christian merchants in that side of the Mediterranean and were the biggest targets. Also, half of the time they were at war with France and couldn't focus their resources on fighting off piracy.

Come on man. These were remnants of the same knights we (Suleiman the Magnificent) have just defeated 30 years ago at Rhodes. They put up a resilant fight so we were able to sign a treat with safe conduct to Christian lands and they have relocated at Malta. But same Suleimans pashas wouldn't be able to achieve a victory 30 years later. There was also a lack of autotrity and chain of command in Turkish camp. Of we were so bad at it, how we were be able to occupy, Rhodes(before), Cyprus and Crete after this failure.

Worked out for Cortez.

Actually, the go ahead was given by garcia with recultance. Garcia de Toledo had instructions from the viceroy not to engage unless attacked. Garcia s men did want to butcher the ottomans who actually attacked them near imdina and as such, the spanish kicked the already running ottomans.

​@@gottesurteil3201 And ironically, the governor Cortés disobeyed was actually disobeying higher orders himself.

Taking over fortresses, especially well designed ones, is close to impossible. It why the Ottomans decimated all castles and fortresses in Wallachia following Michael the Brave's revolt. They had massive casualties because of a few hundred rebels holding a fort.

Unlucky rolls I guess

@@wabi-sabi6155 Baltacı Mehmet annihilated Russia to the point that their Queen came to his tent with 7 wagons of gold and begged him to spare Russian army. Some even say it went beyond begging, but that is a myth of course. Russian Empire simply rose to power during Turkish Empire's implosion.

@@cenktuneygok8986 The Ottoman Empire only won 2 of the 12 Wars fought against the Russian Empire. And one of them was the Crimean War where the British and French entered the war out of pity in favor of the Turks. The "implosion" of every single empire is their to blame. And we can use the same argument that the Ottomans simply rose to power during the Byzantine Empire "implosion".

@@wabi-sabi6155 Yeah, except Byzantine Empire is not the only power the Ottomans fought against. The Ottomans defeated coalitions of the most powerful European nations including France, Germany, Spain, Italians states, Poland-Lithuania, Hungary and Russia. Besides that, they were also fighting against Persians, Mongols, Mamluks, Akkoyunlus and various other factions on the east. The first major defeat the Europeans managed to inflict against the Turkish Empire was the Great Turkish War; with a coalition of Germany, Russia, Poland-Lithuania, Hungary and Venice. And it took them 16 years to finally push the Turks back. There is no other instance in history when Europeans united against an enemy in such way. Well there was one other instance: The Third Reich. I completely forgot about them.

The Knight Hospitallers

The danish was part of the 2nd crusade tho

Well the norwegians and danish were part of the crusades too

Well the ancient vikings had been going to -Constantinople- Istanbul since the 800s. They got directions.

The knights templar were killed off in the 1300s. The hospitallers are a different group altogheter.

Most of the sources on numbers come from defenders. Thats why "9183917381 ottomans vs our guy greg" narrative is so common.

​@@sarubet8725 actually the figures for the losses are pretty accurate. Many chrisitian sources coreelate not to mention the detailed descriptions we have. The ottoman sources have much less because of such a humiliating defeat

@@pro3970 "uhm achtually my sources are accurate because they correlate eachother" classic but your "Ottomans make it less" part shows you dont know what you are talking about because Ottomans did not took detailed records as their recruitment system relied on taking man from sipahis along the way. Also so called christian sources also exaggerate their arab, Turk, native whatever to either lift their glory up or deafen their humiliation. Ottoman demographics directly disprove christian sources too as their population was still pretty low in the following centuries.

I definitely got a chuckle with how very detailed for the Maltese side was while the Ottoman Side is just “Ottomans plus one Vassel”. No distinctions between a Jannisary or a regular, just a corpse.

@@Predator20357 probably too embarassed/humiliated to properly record that fiasco of a siege.

@@redacted5824 Yah, it definitely sounds like a case of the Ottomans didn’t record this siege very well (for good reasons) and thus they all end up under a broad category of Ottomans.

​@@Predator20357 "Murat died 500 times during that siege. Don't question it while I'm telling the Sultan our casualties"

@@Alias_Anybody Nah, just sounds like your average Ottoman Battle, getting cut down 500 times over, still win due to your Morale still being strong.

Out of all wars in the history, this one is the war that was worth to fighting for.

Anti-gooner squad ftw

Not exactly. The maltese have been corsairing for over a thousand years and we know of some maltese being under the service of the order during their time in Rhodes. Another reason was malta s strategic position which gave the ottomans the possibility to easily raid and attack siicly. Also the ottomans back in 1522 granted the knights mercy. But in malta, the order attacked the ottomans agajn with maltese corsairs and pissed them off.

@@pro3970 obviously Malta is of strategic importance. But it would have been funny to include that anecdote.

@@My-cat-is-staring-at-you Oh, that makes sense

​@@My-cat-is-staring-at-youYeah the Turks would flood it with their moon flag everywhere like in the Euros

Siege of rhodes 1522

Ottomans didn't spare the Knights of Rhodes out of kindness. The Hospitallers just weren't giving up and had already killed tens of thousands of the Sultan's personal army. To extend the siege until every knight was dead would've simply not been worth it, so an honorary surrender was offered. Suleiman wasn't gonna waste time and resources for a couple hundred Christian knights when he had continental Europe in his sights. The Rhodes headquarters was one of the best defended fortresses in the world, and the Hospitallers were absolute demons. It ended up being a massive blunder, but at the time it was pretty reasonable to let the knights go.

The Turks also stole all of the gozitans a few years before 1565 and sold most of them as slaves. Only a few bought their freedom back. They wanted to do the same for Malta. It was do or die for the non knights on the island

Geneva convention on medieval times seems doesn't sound bad ngl 😅

Yeah but how they didn't take fort even after 130k cannon fires ? Even if source is exaggerated and no is 80 to 100k it's still insane knights survived that long . Whoever planned this invasion have to be most incompetent general in Turkish force.

I mean the standard is 3:1 but in malta was over 5:1 so its very impressive

The numbers are wrong. See the casualties, they are about 25-35k. How can it be so if the number of Ottoman attackers were 35k. Also these were the Creme de la creme of the Ottomans, including the famous slaver Dragut.

I think the abnormal part is that other than numbers they kinda had the superior firepower and position during the siege, that is something that gives more weight to the story.

@@drazarkabalblade9486 let's not forget that it was also an amphibious assault and Malta was essentially a collection of forts inside forts...

Eh, historical fiction involving Malta can get very fanficy level of bad

The Ottomans wanted control of the Island so they could use it as a potential base for attacking Sicily and maybe even Italy proper

@@PattonTheHospitaller they didn't need it
