The janissaries used rifles at the end of the 16th century? Wouldn't those have been harquebuses or muskets? Rifles remained rare for infantry until the minnie ball in the 19th century.
I liked the analysis of what went wrong for the Ottomans at the end. It gave me a much better understanding of the tactical situation and added more depth to the battle itself. Please see if you can do more of these for your future videos.
Big thanks for not making assumptions and pointing out disputed details rather than picking the most dramatic version of events. It's greatly appreciated.
Wonderful video, the maps are amazing, having been into making rpg world maps in gimp i can really appreciate the work that goes into all the terrain details you include in your videos!
As a hungarian and someone who has studied history extensively, i am very impressed with the video and i am looking forward for the next epidode. Thank You!
Unfortunatelly the map is not accurate enough. The border between Royal Hungary and Transylvania was a "straight" line which connects Debrecen (belonged to T.) and Nagybánya (Royal Hungary). And present day Carpathian Ukraine belonged to Transylvania
@@fz2272 Eh, it's not accurate in general since historical maps didn't have clear cut borders, and there was helluva friction between marchlands, quite often resulting in a community being taxed by both powers, so map should have overlapping areas of influence to show this.
As an Austrian. This content is highly appreciated. Wonderful job as always and u history guys on TH-cam put the television content to nothing less then shame. Keep up the great work. Big fan of your work on Caesar (antique fan boy) and Michael the brave (who I knew nothing about before that pieces I saw on your video). Nevertheless I also enjoy that u have a good focus on the Islamic world, since my knowledge on that subject is/was rather limited compared to western history. And u seem too have a low/no bias (I believe we all are biased to some extend, that's why I included low rather then no bias only) The ottoman/Turkish history is particular interesting to me since it's the bridge between the Islamic and Christian world to this day. The struggle between the Habsburgs and Ottomans is, since it's part of my ancestors history, something I lately put more focus in, so the timing on this video is welcomed.
Very interesting video. I’m Hungarian and even I didn’t hear about this battle. In school we usually learn about the sieges. Like the sieges of Eger or Buda.
@@RexGalilae Probably, but a lot of Hungarians took part in it. However here only portions of the armies met so it wasn’t an epic battle so far and in school we have time only to deal with the major battles in detail. I’m looking forward to the other parts.
We have similar history contents at the school in turkey. Only sieges. Kanije, Eger, Estergon etc. First time i heard this combat. And suprisingly allied force of christians depends on hungarian force 2/3. Dame you Calal Pasha.
If there's two things HistoryMarche does better than any other channel, it's weaving a superb atmosphere for the events, and the custom officer portraits that lend so much character to some of the lesser known historical figures.
I love to see this kind of videos back! Love the way you narrate the battles and how you apply the sound effects in accordance with the music. Keep it up!
Worth mentioning, Hassan pasha the ottoman ruler of Bosnia and the initiator of the Ottoman conquest of northern and western parts of Croatia, was a Slavic Muslim from Bosnia Viyalet. He was born Nikola Predojević into the Serbian Predojević clan, from Eastern Herzegovina. According to Muvekkit Hadžihuseinović he was born in Lušci Palanka, in the Bosanska Krajina region, however, according to his nickname Hersekli, he was from Herzegovina.
@علي ياسر Balkan and Anatolian muslims regardless of their ethnic background called as Turks. Even in 1995 Bosnian war genocidal serbian war criminal and perpetrator of Srebrenica genocide Radko Mladic called Bosniaks as Turks. Not a racial or blood based designation but historical.
David narrates it as Murad I but it was in fact actually Murad III who died in 1595, case anyone was confused hopefully that cleared it up. Murad I was assassinated more than 200 years before this took place.
Amazing, 24 minutes gone with a snap of a finger. I very much appreciate how you guys stress the confusion of war/fog of war. It's unfortunate that contemporary historians of the time were never too keen on drawing maps of battles, or such maps have not survived to this day, thus it is hardly possible to have any real sense of scale. For example, just how far did Kiraly's troops have to ride in order to find a place to cross?
This remains the best channel of this kind by far. The conclusions are a welcomed adittion since not everyone in the internet makes up sensible ones even when provided with a good explanation. Nice job.
As Napoleon Bonaparte said once "This day just keeps giving us great history videos bruh".

Excellent video as always, although I recommend that you make a correction on the map: it is a mistake to put the regions of Milan, Franche-Comte and Luxembourg, as part of the Austrian Habsburgs, since those territories did not belong to them until the War of Spanish succession at the beginning of the 18th century (with the exception of Franche-Comté which was conquered by France at the end of the 17th century). What I mean is that at the time you place the video, those three regions were part of the Habsburgs of the Spanish Empire, who defended it until the crown passed into the hands of the Spanish Bourbons; Greetings, continue with videos of those centuries. =)
The Unmodern Ottoman Army argument is wrong for the 16th century. Thanks to the research of Gabor Agoston, it's proved that the Ottoman army wasn't different than the European ones. The problem that happened in Long War was due to financial problems.
You're most likely right, the stereotype of the aging and unmodern Ottoman military only started to become true in the 1700s. The Turks just couldn't organize and modernize their militaries like the Western powers at that point.
in some ways it was unmodern, for example ottomans couldnt get to cavalry with pistols. however main problem in long wars very discipline and massive riots in anatolia.
@AileDiablo having a big army have it's disadvantages, logistics gets terrible at one point especially during battle. And you have to equip every soldier with the best armor and weapon at the time and keep improving those takes time... so not all the soldiers used to have the best equipements even if they were from the same rank. Mass production was limited be it weapons or armour.
Funny you should say that because I'm reading through "Ottoman Warfare in Europe: 1453-1826" by Gabor Agoston and he clearly supports what is presented here. He writes: "The only major field battle of the war at Mezokeresztes (1596) clearly demonstrated the firepower superiority of the Christian troops. As early as in 1577, at a military conference gathered in Vienna to discuss the strategy to be employed against the Ottomans in the decades to come, counsellors were of the opinion that 'for the time being, hand firearms are the main advantage of Your Majesty's military over this enemy' (i.e. the Ottomans)." Previous to the section quoted above, Gabor Agoston DOES dispel myths of Ottoman deficiencies in gunpowder weapons, but this relates to developments in the mid-15th century and into the early 16th century. By the late 16th century, an apparent disparity had indeed developed.
@AileDiablo no, there wasn't any reliable solution to mass production for weapons and Armour in the 16th and 17 for the Ottomans. That's why, big armies but low quality material is a big hindrance.
As I enjoy your videos, I should say there are many mistakes you did my friend. You portrayed Janissaries as "elites" of the Ottoman army which is totally wrong, especially for this era. Main threat for European armies as European observers state was Sipahis. Even in 17th century, European observers state that European infantry is superior to Janissaries yet, Sipahis still superior to any European cavalry. And as a side not, when Ottomans entered Eger, they massacred all mercenary soldiers but spared Hungarians which you mentioned in the video but there was an exception. Numbered around 250, mainly Italian mercenaries remained in inner castle when Eger fell. Later, they declared that they're gonna be Muslim and ask Ottomans to spare them. And Ottomans accepted their offer and spared them.
also, ottoman numbers are highly exaggerated. Allied army is said to be composed of whole europe in the video but they're still half the size of ottomans. turkey was less populous than many european countries until second half of 20th century.
@@calidone7661 that's unfortunately often the case with videos like this from King's and generals, invicta etc. They usually favour western numbers. So ultra exaggerated western numbers for Ottoman troops are often taken seriously while numbers Ottomans provide for western forces are always played down and called exaggerated.
@@calidone7661 The European countries didn't showed up with all their armies either. Good example is the battle of Varna, sure Wladyslaus being king of both Hungary and Poland sounds menacing, but the polish nobles barely supported the campaign as they didn't considered it that important and sent minimal troops, as for Hungary, the king didn't even ruled the whole since an opposing faction controlled certain parts of the kingdom, such as the economically important northern mining cities. Other members of the crusade didn't showed up with all their soldiers either, and some were minor. (Just because the wiki shows Bulgaria for example, it only means that some peiple joined to the crusaders when they took it from the ottomans, not half of the realm)
@@calidone7661 I’m pretty sure you are wrong here. Ottoman territory covered Balkans, Anatolia,Syria, Egypt with vassals in Algiers and Crimea. Which European country held bigger territory or more wealthy lands than this?
Where exactly did they say this was a European army?? It wasn't. The alliance spanned Europe but it was mostly in name only, very few soldiers from Western Europe or Italy actually showed up. This is mostly just an alliance army between Austria and Transylvania. I don't think over 100.000 soldiers can be considered an exaggeration for an Ottoman army that was actually lead by the Sultan.
First of all.. I just finished watching all 3 parts and I must gratefully say: well done! Clear, informative, like much of your other work... what a wonderful channel. On the other hand it is so sad... learning of the pointless deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides... names unknown, families ruined, towns massacred, borders moved to move again later... it is like watching a video game on replay but then.. this is not a video game. This is not Starcraft. People died for real and badly. And this being just one battle, out of thousands... and we have learned nothing as proven by the current invasion of the Ukraine... we are such a sad species.
Wow you're so deep. People fight wars and are willing to actually die for something they believe in. Is it better to live a meaningless life like you do? Clicking on videos on your little phone with your little finger, judging all of human history like your so wise? Then sashaying down the street to buy a latte and preach to everyone how we need to celebrate our differences and be united. What a foolish person you are... "People died for Real and badly" do you even know what that means?
This period 14 th 15th 16th 17th and half of 18th the Ottoman Empire greatly dominated Europe .. However, the scales of the population turned against the Ottomans, from the 18th century. The number of the Ottoman Empire population did not witness a significant increase in the two centuries the 17th and 18th; While the population of Europe increased in this period from 100 million to 190 million the Ottoman population was 1/6 of Europe population in the 17th century but their percentage decline to only 1/10 of europe population in the 18th century within two centuries The failure of the Ottoman Empire to increase its population is the main reason for its downfall
No that's not correct reason for ottoman downfall. There are at least 100 reasons. One of it was that weak sultan in later period.Pashas and Janissaries became disobedient to sultan and oppressed people within Sultanate either in Balkan or egypt. Later orthodox church also started to act like pashas of Ottoman.
@@ayonhasan9287 Which Orthodox church?? Which period???Monasteries and churches in 16th , 17th ,18thcenturies paid taxes plus ransoms to local janissaries and pashas in order not to be burned down If they could not they were looted and burned to the ground.. Up to the 19th century, it is not allowed Churches to be built in cities. When allowed after big bribes buildings had not to be higher than mounted horsemen. Few underground churches had survived from that period. Also witnesses of Christian even a clergy was overruled by witnesses of any Muslim in court. At the ned of 18th century around 1760s national autocephalous (self governing ) Churches of Bulgarians1767, Serbians1764 and Wallahians were closed . They went under the tutelage of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (Greek church). Patriarchate was richly connected with Phanariots (Phanar, Greek suburb in Constantinople . Greeks from there received the right from Sultan to collect taxes from all Christians Bulgarians,Serbians and Wallahians) for him. They had the money to pay Sultan immediately and taxed as they please later. Patriarchate bribed the Sultan and took power over the souls of other Christians. Patriarhists did not allow them to use their languages and open schools. So Patriarhists took all power with help of the Sultan over all Christians. Bulgarians had to resist Ottomans and Greek suppression. Bulgaria intellectuals who dared to write in Bulgarian were executed by Ottomans after Greek Patriarhist manipulated them.That continued until the last days of the Ottoman Empire. Just in 1870 Sultan recognize the independence of the Bulgarian church and school . He gave them Hatisherif. Before you mention about Christianity and Churches on Balkans you must know a bit about them.
theres a lot more to it than that. In fact id argue that's a negligible factor considering they were still fielding larger armies than Christian powers, showing their vast manpower capabilities
@@hashtagrex the ottomans were huge that's why being huge also gives you more enemies and more lands to rule over but theres no denying over time ottoman armies never increased in size and European armies became signicsntly bigger
@@aiai8479 there is denying it because the ottoman armies did increase in size. Just as the rest of the world adapted to being able to field huge armies. The issue of ottoman armies being behind europeans was in logistics and army command, not size.
It was good to watch the video as Hungarian. I think there are a lot of problems with pronouncing Hungarian names, but that's not surprising. Keep it up guys.
@@turkishemir5735 No there is only one noble family house of Osman. But state decision's mostly agreed by divan which was formed by members of Ottoman hierarchy.
You know that you and 'Kings & Generals' almost have same followers and its not a coincidence that both of you are releasing videos on the same day since for a while.
In the first battle of Haçova, the advance gard of the Shahani army lost 1,100 martyrs and withdrew after leaving 42 cannons, while the European Crusader army lost hundreds casualties to Hell But the Ottoman Muslims retaliated, supported by 40,000 Tatars, in the Great Battle of Haçova after 4 days, which is considered the biggest victory of the Ottoman Muslims . They exterminated 70,000-150,000 crusaders accordong to sources in the field and during the pursuit, and tens of thousands drowned in the Tiza River and the nearby swamps.
I love these kinds videos so much. Especially the videos were there are these extensive build ups to the battles. The battle of the field of blood, islams first arrow and battle of nicopolis all 11/10s. You are still the best Mago.
The Kiraly Charge!!! Also he in general just seemed READY-TO-GO this battle. totally carried the Christians here. started with his forward party and immediate sense to support the initial skirmish so hastily. saved the initiative which was then capitalized upon

This period 14 th 15th 16th 17th and half of 18th the Ottoman Empire greatly dominated Europe .. However, the scales of the population turned against the Ottomans, from the 18th century. The number of the Ottoman Empire population did not witness a significant increase in the two centuries the 17th and 18th;
While the population of Europe increased in this period from 100 million to 190 million
the Ottoman population was 1/6 of Europe population in the 17th century
but their percentage decline to only 1/10 of europe population in the 18th century within two centuries
The failure of the Ottoman Empire to increase its population is the main reason for its downfall
No that's not correct reason for ottoman downfall.
There are at least 100 reasons.
One of it was that weak sultan in later period.Pashas and Janissaries became disobedient to sultan and oppressed people within Sultanate either in Balkan or egypt.
Later orthodox church also started to act like pashas of Ottoman.
@@ayonhasan9287 Which Orthodox church?? Which period???Monasteries and churches in 16th , 17th ,18thcenturies paid taxes plus ransoms to local janissaries and pashas in order not to be burned down If they could not they were looted and burned to the ground.. Up to the 19th century, it is not allowed Churches to be built in cities. When allowed after big bribes buildings had not to be higher than mounted horsemen. Few underground churches had survived from that period. Also witnesses of Christian even a clergy was overruled by witnesses of any Muslim in court. At the ned of 18th century around 1760s national autocephalous (self governing ) Churches of Bulgarians1767, Serbians1764 and Wallahians were closed . They went under the tutelage of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (Greek church). Patriarchate was richly connected with Phanariots (Phanar, Greek suburb in Constantinople . Greeks from there received the right from Sultan to collect taxes from all Christians Bulgarians,Serbians and Wallahians) for him. They had the money to pay Sultan immediately and taxed as they please later. Patriarchate bribed the Sultan and took power over the souls of other Christians. Patriarhists did not allow them to use their languages and open schools. So Patriarhists took all power with help of the Sultan over all Christians. Bulgarians had to resist Ottomans and Greek suppression. Bulgaria intellectuals who dared to write in Bulgarian were executed by Ottomans after Greek Patriarhist manipulated them.That continued until the last days of the Ottoman Empire. Just in 1870 Sultan recognize the independence of the Bulgarian church and school . He gave them Hatisherif. Before you mention about Christianity and Churches on Balkans you must know a bit about them.
theres a lot more to it than that. In fact id argue that's a negligible factor considering they were still fielding larger armies than Christian powers, showing their vast manpower capabilities
@@hashtagrex the ottomans were huge that's why being huge also gives you more enemies and more lands to rule over but theres no denying over time ottoman armies never increased in size and European armies became signicsntly bigger
@@aiai8479 there is denying it because the ottoman armies did increase in size. Just as the rest of the world adapted to being able to field huge armies. The issue of ottoman armies being behind europeans was in logistics and army command, not size.
Very interesting thanks
I love too much ur channel! Is awesome, i watch one video every day, ty for so much!
It was good to watch the video as Hungarian. I think there are a lot of problems with pronouncing Hungarian names, but that's not surprising. Keep it up guys.
Eagerly waiting for next video
the background music is so well fitting
I think it will be more accurate if you use the term "Ottoman Aristocracy" instead of "Ottoman Nobility".
A way to insult the imperial family?
@@turkishemir5735 No there is only one noble family house of Osman. But state decision's mostly agreed by divan which was formed by members of Ottoman hierarchy.
Nice video. Surprised about low casualties then remembered most of the fighting was with inaccurate guns.
great video thank you ~!
You know that you and 'Kings & Generals' almost have same followers and its not a coincidence that both of you are releasing videos on the same day since for a while.
In the first battle of Haçova, the advance gard of the Shahani army lost 1,100 martyrs and withdrew after leaving 42 cannons, while the European Crusader army lost hundreds casualties to Hell
But the Ottoman Muslims retaliated, supported by 40,000 Tatars, in the Great Battle of Haçova after 4 days, which is considered the biggest victory of the Ottoman Muslims . They exterminated 70,000-150,000 crusaders accordong to sources in the field and during the pursuit, and tens of thousands drowned in the Tiza River and the nearby swamps.
كلام همجي لماذا؟ هذا اولاً ثانياً انا مسلم ولا اعتقد ان جيش منهم في النار والاخر في الجنة او انك تعتقد ان احدهم على خير؟! عجيب امرك
Invaders are “martyred” and people who defend their homes go to hell .🤔
70,000-150,000 would have been larger than the entire army
Wonderful thank you 😊
Great video!
I love these kinds videos so much. Especially the videos were there are these extensive build ups to the battles. The battle of the field of blood, islams first arrow and battle of nicopolis all 11/10s.
You are still the best Mago.
Now that's what Im talking about
The Kiraly Charge!!! Also he in general just seemed READY-TO-GO this battle. totally carried the Christians here. started with his forward party and immediate sense to support the initial skirmish so hastily. saved the initiative which was then capitalized upon
Next part??? Great period, and great video...
I wish ottoman wars against christians was more covered in popular media. Thank god for channels like HistoryMarche
No more content - must watch no work in the morning!
Great video again :). Can u upload more about Hannibal Barca sir. God bless you
