men defend the walls. They have only six days to prepare the city. How long can they hold?

As someone who lives in New Zealand and has family in Christchurch this is very appreciated.
Something I love about Extra Credits' depiction of wars between empires (aside from WWII) is that they're not described as holy or righteous wars from a single perspective.
Most everyone is shown having noble moments of triumph as well as being jackasses trying to take each other's stuff. Religion and spiritual beliefs are undoubtedly important, but it's interesting to see how a state's rulers use them as public justifications to drive personal ambition. Bravo, E.C..

I know it's a nitpick, but the holy roman emperor title has been around since the 900's and was swapped between various german states for the most part.
The Ottomans claimed to be inheritors of Rome after the taking of Constantinopole.
This whole who is the real inheritor of Rome didn't start with Mehmet.
As such this is not something that arised a year earlier when the new holy roman emperor was crowned, rather it's just an excuse for the war, rather than a natural progression of events of escalation.
Well said :)
None of them had a true claim to the Roman empire. It's all an excuse, a cheap trick that people believed because it suited them. In my mind, their claim was not less legitimate than theirs. Their territory was Roman too.
Yeah because Finland is the rightful successor to the Roman Empire

@@iapetusmccool You know, tatars of Europe are (in general) descendents of kumans, pechenegs, bulgars, kazars, etc. Thats why they still speak turcic languages. Mongols were only the ruling class, and as one, they gave a new identity and state structure, but they dissolved into the local masses.
They withdrew from Europe just when they were marching in central Europe
The only thing that managed to take Vienna was the allies. So they needed nukes and bombs back then. With loads of tea to give tp britain if they lend a helping hand
I wonder if those siege had any part in inspiring Tolkien’s writing about the siege of Minas Tirith.
Such a fascinating and complex story.
Jingles. tv it was the inspiration
Helm's Deep was inspired by this battle
Also the second Umayyad Siege of Constantinople (717-718); the Bulgar (Bulgarian) cavalry wrecked the Umayyad army on the Theodosian Walls
Tolkein drew from a few historical inspirations for that battle, but yes, this was definitely a major one.
My thoughts as well, though, since both major sieges are at some point relieved by cavalry, I guess he used the paradeigm universaly.

still pretty impressive that the ottomans took so much collaboration to take down.
Even during their feeble ww1 state they required so many elements including invasions by multiple european nations and their colonies, as well as the arab revolt to take down.
After all that one of their pashas pulled a gamer move and just yoinked back all of anatolia and istanbul right after ww1, only to rename the nation and make himself leader.

Fun fact Istanbul wasn't officially called Istanbul until after the fall of the Ottoman empire even though Istanbul was the name commonly used to refer to the city in Turkish speech even before the 1453 sack.
It basically means "the city" if I recall correctly.
Kyle Colden the word actually comes from the Greek phrase “Stin Polis” which means “The City”
@@Yurothehotot Yeah its derived from the Greek στην Πόλη which means "to the city" or "in the city" which was then reinterpreted by Arabic and Armenian peoples in the 10th century as a single word Istanbul or variations of it which overtime became more commonly used in the Turkish parlance.

As someone who lives in Vienna, I'm really happy you're exploring the city's history, and from both perspectives too! As always, great episode!
BTW. Constantinople wasn't renamed Istanbul before the 1920's. During the Ottoman empire the city was called in Turkish by the Turkish name for Constantinople: Kostantiniyye. I don't know if any other sultans held this title, but Suleiman 2. was sometimes referred to as the sultan in Constantinople among christian monarchs.
True. But as I recall traders and in general Turks living in the Ottoman empire have sometimes used the name Istanbul before 1920.
So eh. Both named would be historically correct.
@@patriongodoffinancialgainf6301 Istanbul comes from the greek word for "going to the City" Constantinople was the only major trading hub in the region at the time, thus referred to as "the City"
Istanbul was the local name for a long time. I don't think the government even switched the name until the fall of the Empire.
As TomlHodet said, Istanbul is just Turkish for "the City".
Nobles refered to it as Constantinople until the end of the Empire, but by then most regular ppl were calling it Istantbul, as so many had for ages.
@@jeffbenton6183 Istanbul is not Turkish, it's Greek but yeah.

Istanbul was still called Constantinople during these events, that had nothing to do with Muslim occupation. The city's name change happened after the formation of the Republic of Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman empire in the early 20th century and was overseen by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1923.
Also at 6:18 Austria is called the Holy Roman Empire. The coloured area is, as before correct labelled, the Habsburg territory, not the whole empire of independent states ^^

Romanovs:
I thought we were the third Rome
*sabaton - Winged Hussars INTENSIFIES*
The holy roman emperor title was around before the ottoman empire existed
yeah... and mehmed II claimed the title when he finished of eastearn roman empire
The titel of Holy Roman Empire was around before the Roman Empire was even gone. To piss off the actual Roman Emperor. The Ottomans just took over that conflict by right of conquest.
Indeed. When Empress Irene was on the throne in the east, the Pope declared Charlemagne as Emperor. There was even talks of a marriage between the two, to 'unite west and east', though death tragically got in the way of such a union. This was due to a Pope wanting the support of Charlamane in depended his Papel see from attack, and using a title is not exactly a new way to curry favor.
I think what they meant was that the Ottomans had a bone to pick with the Hapsburgs specifically thanks to that title (among other things), because their houses took on the Title of Roman Emperor at roughly the same time and the Ottomans saw their claim as more legitimate.
As far as Western Europe was concerned, the Holy Roman Empire was in fact THE Roman Empire: in-continuity with that empire of the Caesars of antiquity. When the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, their empire also became part of the Roman Imperial tradition, at least in theory. In essence, the HRE and the Ottomans were bickering over which empire was the true successor to Rome.
1452 is when Frederick III von Hapsburg ascended to the imperial throne, from which point his dynasty would rule the empire nearly interrupted until its final collapse under the weight of Napoleonic France.
In many ways Vienna actually was a final hold against a growing Muslim empire. To say it wasn’t, is a little disingenuous. Just because it was an important religious battle doesn’t mean that Muslims are bad people, it just means that religion frequently does affect politics and war.
Instantly hearing: We remember in september when the winged hussars arrived.
Sabaton reference?
Have you thought about doing the Greek War of independence? Its really fascinating!
Istanbul was officially known as Constantinople until Turkey came into existence after WW1. Istanbul comes from a Medieval Greek term meaning "to the city" which locals referred to it as for centuries (if you live near a city you call i it the city) but everyone in an official context called it by the name it deserves Constantinople
Official name was "konstantiniye" not constantinapolis.

Man, watching your shows is like watching some kind of epic saga.
Wow! Fascinating. Almost held my breath listening to the end. Great story telling, EC. Love you. On to the next installment.
I’m really glad this trilogy looks at the Second Battle of Vienna as a political strategic event and not the battle over religion more specifically a battle over the evil “dumb Muslim hordes” as I’ve seen several videos that mention how this was all over religion and trying to draw parallels between something that happened almost 400 years ago and now. That kind of stuff is dangerous and it’s exactly how misinformation gets out like they mention in the opening and how tragedies like the Mosque shooting in New Zealand happen. Racism is born when history amounts to a twisted persons views in modern day society. Thank you Extra Credits for making this series
Finally some Austrian history, I have been waiting so long for it
I'm still hoping they make a series about Empress Maria Theresia, she was one of the most interesting monarchs in European history.

I love your work otherwise and keep it up!
7:39 Ah, you never fail to amaze me.
the shooting that happened was very devastating as i had just got home from work
At the time, I had the day off through illness and was watching TV when a broadcast came on
God bless you Man! You are one of the few people in the western world that is not biased! I always look forward to watch your episodes ..........
I love the new musical outro - a combination of European orchestra with an oh-so-subtle blending-in of Eastern plucked strings. Very classy!
Outro is always based upon the culture they talked about
That beginning message was one of the first truly genuine feeling ones I've heard in quite a while.
1.It wasn't called Istanbul, Ottomans changed the name of Constantinople to Konstantiniyye when they took it. Istanbul named in 1920s shortly after Republic of Turkey founded.
2.General opinion thinks Ottoman Crown cared their ancestoral roots but in reality Ottomans only carried Turkic traditions in the military. BUT in society things were VERY, VERY different. When Mehmed II took Konstantiniyye and tried to have a more centralized government Turkmen people living in Anatolia revolted to him because that type of Government would take their freedom away and eventually damage their living style, from 1453 Ottoman Crown always in fight with Turks (Turkmens) in Anatolia which because of that Ottoman Army relied more on Janissary type non-Turkic soldiers but trained with Turkic Discipline and tactics...Yeah Akinci, Sipahi and Deli Cavalries were mostly Turkmen Soldiers and higher ranks than the Janissaries (Which this caused problems inside the army between Janissaries and Cavalries in many Festivals and Celebrations usually Janissaries and Sipahis get into large fights) Even for that Turks in Ottoman Society was one of the poorest and seen as how can i say...Low born in Ottoman society because of their revolts against the crown even at one point name of Turk was a insult to another person. Which many Turks including myself who knows history about it hates Osmanoğlu Family (House of Osman rulers of Ottoman Empire) Yeah they carried out Turkic Traditions in the military but they simply killed more Turks than anyone else also made the Empire more Arabic because of Islam (Made Empire more weaker as the society and governing body get more Islamized). WHICH This was one of the reasion new Turkish Republic was a more Turkish Nationalist and had Secular beliefs, because in 18-19 century many Turkish commanders of the Ottoman Army like Enver, Fevzi Çakmak, Mustafa Kemal, İsmet İnönü, Kazım Karabekir etc. Were more Turk Nationalists (Only Enver were the Hardcore one others were defending their Turkic identity but they also respected other nationalities living in Anatolia, meanwhile Enver...Well, you know...) but have disagreements about Ottoman Empire should be Secular or keep its power on Islamic World.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge. =)
Not wrong about the official name from what I understand, but Istanbul had unofficially been called Istanbul for centuries from what I understand. Admittedly, I could be mistaken...
Thats something a person would say that follows the stupid Kemalist Ideology.... Making everything bad that is about the ottomans and the empire. The "turk" being a insult thing was because many people in the government simply werent turkish (turkic) if somebody called me arab i would be mad too.
Tolerant to other cultures? Lol the Turks are extremely intolerant towards other cultures, especially the ethnic people of anatolia and East Turkey (the Kurds, Assyrians etc.). The ottomans weren't the problem, nor was the "not being nationalistic enough" vieuws. No, the ottomans were just as racist and nationalistic then the modern Turks. However, their hubris and narcissism caused the downfall of the ottoman empire. They were more busy with religion and were plagued by weak sultans (perhaps because every sultan killed his brothers having a very limited amount of candidates for the throne). Having a kemalist government will not work (we had the past 100 years to see that), however an islamofacist, turk nationalistic leadership like we have now in 2019 won't work either. I suggest a leadership who wishes equality for all, and who better then those who suffered the most (the Kurds). You will know their love and wish for equality to be real because they suffered the most, and only thing the Kurds want is peace and cultural freedom for all. Everyone is free to live.
