@@TatarProductions Yes, but that was only once Skanderbeg died. Mehmed could have conquered large parts of Italy had the albanians not fought the Ottomans for 25 years.
You missed one important fact why he was called Skanderbeg :) This name was given to him by the Ottomans when he was still in their service because he reminded them of Alexander the Great.
@@niepowaznyczlowiek Ottomans gave him the name İskender Bey what means Lord Alexander and then in Albanian translation it became Skanderbeg. I think it's the European way of writing his Turkish name. His original name was Gjergj Kastrioti and that's not even close to Skanderbeg. He could receive his new name because they couldn't pronounce the real one but you don't get the name Lord Alexander for no reason.
After Fatih Sultan Mehmed learned about his death, he said "Woe to the Christians, they've lost their swords and shields." I believe Skanderbeg on Mehmeds side would create an equal effect, maybe Italian conquest, maybe earlier Hungarian decline. Big respects to one of the greatest commanders of history.

Albania has given birth to many great people in history. Ajölfe Xhitla is one notable, after moving to Austria he changed his name though. Djosep Dzälen was one of the greatest Russians ever, also of Albanian origin. Nabäylön Bonaqarbeg became a high-ranking general in French army. But we must not forget their accomplishment in science as well: Izek Nëvtön later in his life moved to England and later his great mind lead to idea of gravity. Cärlus Djarvi made great discoveries in biology and formed the theory of evolution. While not fully Albanian, Albert Ejnstënbeg owes his great mind to his Albanian genes. But it's not all just Europe that benefited from Albania: One of the most notable person in christianity, Gjesu Qhristös was also of Albanian origin before moving to Middle-East. Mjöxhamed (pbuh) had a different view of Abrahamic faiths and formed a new one that nowadays covers people from Morocco to Pakistan.

The only mistake in your video is: Skanderbeg fought against the Greeks. Greeks in the Ottoman Empire are not mentioned in any document. He fought against the Christians until he rebelled.
Bypah ! Skanderbeg killed Serbs he cleaned all his territory from Serbs. Greeks did not fought they made peace with turks so Roman's didn't take over. Serbs alone never won 1 war against ottomans.
Not really, since the Albanians suffered only 120 deads and the battle lasted only for 4 hours. While in the battle of Kulikovo the Russians suffered thousands of deads.
@@kerlkirill I am Albanian and have to say that Scanderbag had a big advantage of the very difficult, steep Albanian terrain doing guerilla warfare and he was using it brilliantly. So the Russian general in war that you mentioned was very gifted too.

He was betrayed by the Italian city state of Venice at a key moment, should he have received the supplies and reinforcements he was promised, he would have pushed the Ottomans further.

Hey im Albanian And i love strategy games. But thats why strategy should have as the main focus strategy not the number of soldiers in the army. Because as in the case of Iscanderbeg and the other countries battles, like Spartans against Persia or Germanic and English tribes against the Roman Empire etc.. You can see clearly that the numbers dont mean anything against good strategy.

Great video by the way but I'm a little confused this Albanian guy have very small army little resources and keeps ottoman army away for so long protecting christianism, but what I don't understand why Albania it's called Muslim country

@@freedomfighter6193 Born in Polog, in the north of today's Northern Macedonia. Nicknamed 'Tripalda', "given to her is a corruption of the tribal name 'Triballi', which the pedantic Byzantine historians applied to the Serbs." (William Miller: www.jstor.org/stable/554790?seq=1). Term Triballi meaning Serbs in the medieval ages , cited by multiple sources on this Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triballi). Aside from that, Voisava as name itself has clear Slavic origins, very similar to today's name Vojislava. It was not uncommon in that time period to marry Albanian nobles and vice-versa Serbian nobles at that time. Actually a good amount of both modern and medieval sources suggest that she has Serbian origins.
@@galaktoza A mother’s origin was irrelevant for that era. If it was relevant, then all the Serbian kings would be seen as Greeks, Italians, Hungarians etc, which they were not. They were Serbs. Skenderbeg was from an Albanian clan, and he liberated his own people. That’s all that matters.

@@lagjescuni5482 Serbs were actually conquered and under Ottoman rule in times of Skanderbeg.
Gjergj Kastrioti im proud to you 🙏🇦🇱🇽🇰
tell me something about livonian and teuteonic order and why the hell are they hostile to catholic nation of poland
Take a shot for every Skanderbeg and you are wasted in half a video lmao
Am I the only one who thought it was “Skanderberg”
How much does it cost and where can you play it
So... Albania is Turkey's Vietnam?
I thought he was talking about the save game website.
If only byzantium had skanderbeg, they wouldve utterly crushed the ottomans irl
With out the Skanderbeg today will be no Europe or UK or Canada or USA or as we said no Western Civilization as we now,so thanks to Albania
3:35 do I smell Historia Civilis??
And serbs say that skanderbge is serb 😂😂😂
Do Charles XII of the Swedish Empire
Is this game only on pc
Great video by the way but I'm a little confused this Albanian guy have very small army little resources and keeps ottoman army away for so long protecting christianism, but what I don't understand why Albania it's called Muslim country
527 years occupation makes it different, as taxes was high if you were non muslim, for example albanian catholics shouldve paid taxes a ton but the muslims were out of charge no taxes. Again 527 years.

F for his dad
Why Pachacuti 5/4/6?
Still waiting for Ryukyu
Only thing I know about Ryukyu are small details and some history I learned while watching Samurai Champloo
immagine be the best leader of your times just to become curiosity in video game xd
Clearly Ottomans raised the people whom betrayed them. Vlad is another example.
Skenderbeg was Orthodox Serb named Đurađ Kastriotić.
Nice joke
Thats like saying dusan was Dushan albanian catholic, skanderbeg was albanian
This drum noise is annoying, it looks like I'm going to be attacked anytime
Another fun fact: Skenderbeg's mother Voisava was of house Brankovic, the same dynasty ruling Serbia at that time.
That is highly debatable and cannot be confirmed neither historians also say that his mother was a Albanian Noblewoman
@@freedomfighter6193 Born in Polog, in the north of today's Northern Macedonia. Nicknamed 'Tripalda', "given to her is a corruption of the tribal name 'Triballi', which the pedantic Byzantine historians applied to the Serbs." (William Miller: www.jstor.org/stable/554790?seq=1). Term Triballi meaning Serbs in the medieval ages , cited by multiple sources on this Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triballi). Aside from that, Voisava as name itself has clear Slavic origins, very similar to today's name Vojislava. It was not uncommon in that time period to marry Albanian nobles and vice-versa Serbian nobles at that time. Actually a good amount of both modern and medieval sources suggest that she has Serbian origins.
@@galaktoza
A mother’s origin was irrelevant for that era. If it was relevant, then all the Serbian kings would be seen as Greeks, Italians, Hungarians etc, which they were not. They were Serbs. Skenderbeg was from an Albanian clan, and he liberated his own people. That’s all that matters.
Voisava was of the Muzaka noble family
@@galaktoza there is a chance for here being of slavic origin(mainly serbian) but still that doesn't matter,because even Stefan Crnojevic was married to an albanian noble women but that didn't make his kids albanians,same with Gjergj!
Do Serbia and battle of Kosovo next
the battle of maritsa would be better...the most humiliating battle in history😂
Battle of Kosovo where serbs even tho they had Balkan coalition lead by them against Ottomans still were destroyed ? 💀💀Mate you serbs are ònly for fárms you never even won any battle, and why he should spent time on that useless battle, ah i know where is your point, your trip on Republic of Kosovo is over mate, get over it lol 💀💀, and that battle doesn't tell anything, the best soliders of Gjergj Kastrioti "Skanderbeg" were from Dardania(Kosovo), go learn about Lekë Dukagjini and come here again with thoughts of serbian historians like Jovan Deretic who says "Jesus was serb and spoke serbish, serbs built chinese wall "💀💀
@Malësor_ Dukagjinit True lmao even Albanian prince Teodor Muzaka had died in Battle of Kosovo 1389.
@@blockie9706 turkalbanians mentioned first time in humanity history in 18 century are you kidding me?
