➤ I feel I could've explained better the reasons why Michael had to retreat. After Calugareni, Sinan Pasha held his nerve and didn't retreat. He had more troops coming over the Danube and he refreshed his army due to the vastly superior Ottoman resources in men and material. The Ottoman Empire was a superpower, which could recover from defeats such as Calugareni, while Wallachia was a local power and could therefore not afford any mistakes in this conflict. When Calugareni didn't open the way for Michael to stop the Ottoman invasion, he had only one more chance at Giurgiu...

HistoryMarche BROOO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME LETS GOOOOOO!!BEST HISTORY CHANNEL EVER
Thank you man :)
Thank you for this video, i am thinking the next is the Unification of romanian voievodships under Michael?
Btw i appreciate your videos quality, from Moldova🇲🇩🇷🇴
unde sunt substiltrarile in romana ?
Yep, part 3 is the unification and all the battles.
Great videos ,congrats from Bulgaria to our Romanian brothers !
Thank you kindly. I'm working on part 3 right now, it should be finished in a few weeks.
Respect from Serbia my Romanian brothers, we will never forget...
Baba Novak was Mihai's best officer!
forget what?
@turGAY ANNIHILATORRRR its a joke pleb. duh
This has to be one of the most decisive battles in history. There was just nowhere to go once the pontoon bridge was destroyed. Brutal.
finally, a Serb with common sense who doesn't slander Romanians .
The whole Romania was waiting for this video.Great content as always.Congrats HistoryMarche!
Actually it wasn't that interesting.... I'd much rather see Hannibal.
@@RS-kt6is gtfo
@@RS-kt6is mihai beetter then hannibal
@Denis do Carmo yes romania was the best shield vs ottomans , winning the best battles , vaslui valugareni , nigth attack romania was one of the pnly countries as a vassal in europe
yes cuz you are from romania but still the ottomans are really great cuz they fought against all Europe and managed to win many wars
It is crazy that these videos are free. Amazing quality and information.
Damn, I salute the Wallachian/Romanian nation and their bravery. There are many historical similarities between our nations - always struggling between great powers of Europe and yet never surrendering.
Best regards from Poland my brothers and sisters!
@Blade Strikes The struggle of the notoriously lying right wing populists that undermine and betray the very essence of the greatest western achievements of freedom of speech, separation of powers and rule of law? No thank you very much... If you want to live in a society like 1939 Germany then feel free, but do so outside of the EU. But you can't do that, since the EU and it's "liberal agenda" are actually the only reason why the people of Poland and Hungary have enjoyed steady increases in their standard of living. Stop biting the hand that feeds you and get to grips with the realities of the modern world.
@@morbvsclz Shut up,nosestein!
@@morbvsclz Poland, Hungary and Romania are nationalistic great nations and we must save this brainless Europe
@@morbvsclz Spotted the Jew
Dobro :)
i'm romanian and i know what will be in the part 3 ... but i don't want to make spoilers ;) excellent presentation ,bravo HistoryMarche!
Dan D Saludos desde México, amigo.
@@AlanDeAnda1 Viva México ;)
when will part 3 be released?
@@jerryhsi005 Probably early January.
@@HistoryMarche I was wondering the same thing!
Please continue with these series! They are awesome and give insight into the lesser known history of europe
As I Hungarian, I gotta say we should have put aside our differences (with Romania) to fight the Turks but arguments won and unity lost... so both countries suffered.
true until today sadly.
@@alupigus9284 why what happened a week ago today?
@Saad Shoaib yes there is its mass killing the destruction of whole peoples and the destruction of other people's cultures - that is European culture.
Romania and Hungary and Bulgaria , Serbia, Moldova, and Albania should be brothers 😍
Hungary suffered the most by Habsburgs.
Thank god for the their efforts... From Bulgaria..
We helped you in 1877 also haha,greets from Transylvania my friend
He raided your country
@@franciscomm7675 Transylvania is romanian land,he attacked hungarians and germans from Transylvania
skankhunt 42 But they never really mention it in the video. Could you suggest some sources on the matter which I can read?
I think that the christian bulgarian population suffered more than any turkish or romanian population during all these ping-pong wars over there anyway
Michael the Brave is brilliant! He knows how to take advantage of every situation for his troops.
Mihai must have been one of those human beings with lots of energy, lots of willpower. I suspect that on some level, the situation actually energized him.
Oh, he gets even more "energetic" in part 3 (but let's not spoil it) :)
If he was born in Germany or France he would be Napoleon or Bismark
@4:12 "We got your back Mike!" - Everyone on youtube
such an underrated comment.
Wallachia was a human player. It can’t be annexed...
Haha, nice one.
Except it could and it was. For over 100 years
@@RS-kt6is By?
@@autnocens by the Ottoman Empire? Rulers used to be appointed by the Sultan directly amongst the wealthy bureaucratic Greeks from the Fanar quarter of Istanbul. It's commonly called the 'Fanar' period. A horrible time in our history
@@RS-kt6is I suspected you thought about epoca fanariota, but even then there was no annexation. The rulers were appointed from Istanbul but they still had to abide by the country's rules. Some were even good administrators and at least one deserves our respect for standing up and losing his head because he protested the annexation of Bucovina declaring the Ottomans had no right to cede to the Habsburgs a part of Moldova principality. Keep in mind the Vladimirescu revolt and later Cuza's reforms were quite clearly directed against Greek influence also, not only against the Ottomans. You can argue the Phanariotes were less connected to the land and it is true, but they didn't act as Ottoman pashas and no Turkish migration or Muslim religious penetration was allowed. Subservient, yes, annexed, no.
One can safely say there never was a full annexation of either Valahia or Moldova. By anyone.
Michael reminded me when I'm playing Total War on "legendary" difficulty ^^
ROFL
Finally! Been waiting for this video.
This is my favorite historic video on your channel. I probably rewatched it about 10 times and still dont get tired ofit .The narration is on another level.
Just sucks how the Balkan heroes were always abandoned and betrayed by all the other Balkan leaders.
Thank you so much for putting out such amazing videos. The more Romanian history videos, the better.
Poland rulz!
Great video, you made a romanian proud. I am glad you show that Mihai didn't have to fight against ottomans only, he had to be careful against his neighbours as well.
It's always great to see new video from you 😃
Thank you sir. Great to see you here.
Nice to hear your voice back !
Lltcm
what a brave man this was....
Like most of our history, a desperate struggle against the odds , a bloody battle uphill.
@LUNAR BLOODDROP yes the Polish and their hUsSaRs that took all the glory after Romania did all the heavy work? Yeah we know those guys.
Wow. The sound effects like near the 5:55 - 6:00 mark is so intense. I thought my neighbors were knocking my wall again
same here
You are not the only one! :)
I really like how you do justice to pronounciations of Romanian names. It's still obviously an English pronunciation, but with just the right amount of effort and adjustment.
Thank you very much. Indeed, Alex did an awesome job with pronunciations, not native but good enough for a non-Romanian speaker.
Achilles - "imagine a King that fights his own battles woldn't that be a sight
Michael The Brave - " Hold my beer .."
What’s this? Is it my birthday? Christmas? Oh.. no even better! History Marche has uploaded ❤️❤️
Mago, you rule! Michael the Brave ruled as well, in a different way. Thumbs up for both :)
From this day forward I shall be known as "Mago the Brave" to reflect all of my great deeds :) lol, no.
@@HistoryMarche just simply accept it when it happens. then smile and wave :)
@@tudorp8195 Haha: "Just smile and wave boys... smile and wave", penguins from Madagascar.
One of best video i ever seen. Continue the good work.
Moral of the history: war is complex and both sides usually commit atrocities
Indeed. War is rarely a one-sided story.
But let's not forget that the Ottomans were the aggressors, they were thugs with a large army.
@@Ragnarok__ That's a fair statement. But then again, every Empire or big Kingdom usually acts the same - exploit whoever they can exploit. Austria was certainly no kinder to Hungarians, as well as the Carpathian and Balkan nations imo. So the Ottomans did pretty much what every empire does - conquer. One could even argue that if Michael managed to fully unite the three principalities he would've done the same if he had the resources at his disposal, probably every ambitious leader would. In fact, there is proof in contemporary sources that Michael's main ambition was to start a ruling dynasty over the unified Dacian kingdom, which would also include Vlachs in Bulgaria and beyond - and his ambition was to become a power player in Europe.
But you are correct, in this war, the Ottomans were the aggressors. I just wanted to point out that none of the elites who participated in this war were righteous or just. These were all ambitious powerful people, what we would today call the one tenth of one percent who move the pieces on the political chess board, while the rest of us below them are left to pick up the pieces.
@@HistoryMarche the persians were good to their conquered people and i want to know the borders of that kingdom because the old kingdom 44bc was bassarabia romania hungary,slovakya,czechia,and austria North/left of danube.
The end justifies the means
The fact that i was born, raised and lived for 20 years in Giurgiu makes me pretty proud.
One of the most professional series, on TH-cam. Well documented, great narration script and outstanding graphics. Thank you, for the great work!
That's very kind of you. Thank you for watching.
I love your humorous popups. "We impale people for fun. You've been warned." That killed me. :)
Marvelous storytelling and naration!
Best Cheers for you from a Moldavian, frome one of the three Romanian Principates and aswell from the Saxon Brothers in Germany!!!
Great video! Keep em coming till the united Walahia Moldova and Transilvania 😎
This series is not very well-known where I live, and it's enlightening to experience the intensity of these historical events through your efforts. Keep it up!
Michael the Brave, named by enemies Malus Dacus (Bad Dacian) was killed in Turda, in 9 aug 1601, by the mercenaries of Giorgio Basta. Basta was sent by emperor Rudolpf to help Mihai as an ally. When the emperor Rudolpf understood that Mihai Vitezul is too strong after the unification of the three Romanian countries, Tansilvania, Moldova and Walachia, he ordered Basta to kill him. Mihai received Basta's mercenaries as old comrades, invited them to the table. They attacked him mischievously, from the back. Mihai was very strong. It was 2m high, which was very much in the middle ages. Mihai killed one with the sword, but was pierced with the spear at the back. The other two fired their guns at him. After death they cut off his head. His faithful soldiers were not allowed to bury him. After 3 days they managed to bury him in secret. The head was taken by them south to Walachia at Dealu Monastery near Targoviste.
Recently in the ruins of the Plaviceni monasteries in Teleorman, in special tomb was found, the skeleton of a very tall man of 2m, without head, who had neck vertebrae sectioned by a metal object. And as a strange coincidence, the Plaviceni Monastery was built by Mihai Vitezul's wife, Doamna Stanca.
Historians assume that this would be the remains of Mihai the brave man who was secretly brought from Transylvania, at the request of Doamna Stanca.
They want to make a DNA test and compare it with head DNA, but the Orthodox church opposes it.
Do you know anything about this hypothesis?

SPOILERS!
Salut. Merci de informatia finala. Nu stiam de acest corp gasit. E foarte posibil sa fie corpul voievodului Mihai. Nu inteleg de ce biserica a refuzat sa i fie analizat adn ul. Unde este tinut capul? Intr o buna zi, cu ajutorul Domnului cap si trup vor fi impreuna. Mihai a murit martir. Cita nevoie are Romania acum de oameni ca el
Just finished editing the subtitles, sorry for being this late, but it takes a long time keeping attention to the details and my time was also limited. Enjoy!
Thank you so much! Truly appreciate it man!
@@HistoryMarche No problem man, always keen to help. Can't wait for part 3.
Achilles - " Imagine a King that fights his own battles wouldn't that be a sight.. "
Michael The Brave - " Hold my beer .. '
One of the best battle chronicles I've ever seen. I like that you use circles changing colour rather than shattering rectangles to represent the outcomes of engagements.
thanx for part 2. was looking forward to this. thank you
HistoryMarche
Loking forward to the conclusion, this series is amazing. Congrats, HistoryMarche strikes again!
Simply amazing! Such a hight quality production, 20 minutes long in such a short period of time, congratulations as always history marche
Michael is a genius
1:17 *WE IMPALE PEOPLE FOR FUN* 😂😂😂
That was a nice joke😄
@@Vishnu-rf5wk Indeed😂😂
Well he learned from his ancestor.
Țepeș, who was probably the first Wallachian impaler, learnt that from Ottomans...
@@CatalinBordea
I had a conversation with psych0 liberal racist americans who were denying this fact. If you want to spill your guts out vomiting read about the batak genocide of bulgarians in the 1800's perpetrated not by turks but janissaries (fellow eastern europeans kidnapped from their parents converted to islam and turned into loyal ottoman soldiers).
Those people were taught to impale people by the turkish empire. It's similar to what the turks did to greeks and armenians but maybe even worse. You will not be able to sleep for 3 days after reading that story. They impaled little bulgarian children up to 6 years of age and forced their parents to watch. It's freaking disgusting.
I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for making vids about our history.
I was re-watching the first part yesterday! 😮 coincidence? another great vid! gratz
It's always a delight when you upload a new video😍 they're well documented and have an epic feel
Thank you very much :)
@@HistoryMarche Especially the soundtrack, it really brings you in and enhances the experience. One of the best content there is on this history segment, most definitely far ahead of any TV documentaries.
I follow you because of your videos related to Ottoman Empire, mate. Personally I have too much respect all of the Balkan Kings in Ottoman Era.Cheers from a Turk in Germany. Los ,weiter💪👋
Extremely Good Video man. Can't wait for part 3
Great content guys, awesome work!

Mihai was a great ruler (not so great as a person tho) can't wait for part 3
Great video! Always glad to get notification on my phone that HistoryMarche has put another video online!
Thank you very much!
A perfect video again! Please keep on with the great job and make more documentaries about the smaller countries, like romanian states, Serbia, etc. Also a more deep look into the context of the period is something I would love to watch at you guys! Thank you and all the best!
Great quality video and research!
I can't wait for part 3 . I love you channel soo much!
Quality maps , detailed info and your voice is awesome!
Part 3 will be out in early January
@@HistoryMarche Love you!
Love the narration so well done
Hallelujah, the Creator has blessed us with another great video!
There! It's official. I've been elevated to godly status.
Truly excellent content, thoroughly enjoyed this series.
Sinan: I am going to make Wallachia into a Pashalik.
Mihai: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
At last!Waited this video for 3 months :)
ah perfect timing! as usual superb!
These are very long and amazing videos love as always.
Well done . Can't wait for the next one with Mihai the Brave
Eagerly awaiting the 3rd part!
Brilliant Work as always :)
I am digging your presentation of the battles.
Very well done ......I think your history videos are the best to watch
Finally, looking forward to part 3
Is corpus Dracullianum available in English or Romanian? I am a Romanian American and have been trying to read everything I can on Romanian history.
Another great book for those interested in the general history of Romania is "A Concise History of Romania" by Keith Hitchins
Thank you!
I'm not sure. I read the German version, it is absolutely fascinating. My German sucks btw, and I used Google translate for most of it. It was worth it. It's one of the best, if not THE best, works of research on Romanian medieval history ever. The research team for Corpus Draculianum is great, few professors who specialize in Romanian history. They translated Venetian, Ottoman, Bulgarian, Romanian, Hungarian and other contemporary documents to compile their books. I can't praise it enough honestly.
It is good to hear that you don t forget you roots
@@cezar1137 If you referred to me, I'm not Romanian :)
This year or the next will start the Romanian edition. There is some interest in making an English edition too.
@@thanuv4064 Oh an English version would be an instant buy for me and I'd highly recommend it on my channel as well.
Sinai learned of the expression “they only love you while you’re winning” the hard way, as many do.
Incredible video man, as usual. Always happy to see you upload.
Thank you very much. Got another one coming up in a week.
@@HistoryMarche Definitely looking forward to it!
Really very entertaining and informative.
Great Series, these maps are beautiful!
Vlad, Michael... so many heroes from Wallachia!
And the most overlooked one, Mircea the Elder, who defeated the Turks at Battle of Rovine
*laughs in Stefan Cel Mare*
Thank you again HistoryMarche, for being my favorite epic history channel. Keep it up being just awsome.
Thank you very much sir.
