We are so proud of the legendary Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbej he drove the Turks away from Albanian and Europe .Europe should be proud of GJERGJ KASTRIOTI SKENDERBE .If he was a traitor ,he would not been judged .Because the Turks took him a kid and he would not be recognized .O SA MIR ME QEN SHQIPTAR O YEA O YEA
I agree
No way did he drive the turks away from Europe that happened during the balkan wars he defended Albania and Europe for as long as he was alive the turks ruled over Albania and the balkans for hundreds of years after his death.
@dassolosyndikat5113 he blocked them from passing the Adriatic when they had gained a powerful force and momentum. Keep in consideration that it was the same times they took Constantinople.
ILLYRIAN ALBANIAN 😊

"The decision of the Albanian government authorities TO HIDE THE STATUE OF SKENDERBEG EVERY TIME A MEETING WITH TURKISH OFFICIALS TAKES PLACE is surely sending perplexing messages to Albanian people."
Perparim Xhaferi, 2019 "Albanian National Identity in the twenty-first century: Escaping from the Ottoman heritage?", University of Sydney, pp. 202
Tough decision ! Firsthand we be like , yeah fight for our people, but at what costs? Albania after 35 long years of war with the Ottomans, Was devastated, Ottoman Empire ! With unlimited resources. Albania was a small, very limited resources, never had more than 15,000 soldiers, outnumbered, I don't know how he motivated his man? They fought almost every year for 35 years 25 Under SKENDERBEG, 10 yrs after his death, Soldiers must've known , after the battle, if they won ! There wouldn't be any food on the table for them and their family !. On the other hand the Ottomans were right there offering them much better life and fame and glory, prestige! But they chose to fight the Ottomans. I'm pretty sure if SKENDERBEG was on the Ottomans side. The existence of Rome and the Vatican would've been Questionable. Anyway Respect for this Great Man, and his warriors.
Great analysis! b
You are right I’m not sure what happened and why skanderbeg choose to fight ottomans we believe because mehmet did a alliance with serbian brankovic to fight against Albania I’m not sure but something was wrong
Why does the cover for this video show Gjergj Kastrioti holding a cross in his hand. What does the cross have to do with Gjergj Kastrioti (Iskandar)
The video explains why.
He holds a cross to symbolise his Christian faith and his role in defending Christian lands against the Ottoman Empire. The cross reflects his commitment to Christianity and resistance to Ottoman rule.
the empire did not made him Learning Blurb, if the empire could made such a general then they would have conquered the remaining west easily! Gjergji was a strategic genius motivated by the injustice done to our people and to his siblings ! The Ottoman empire spoiled Albanian personalities throughout its lifetime to keep the region under control !
I agree!
Real story❤thank you my brother, GJERGJ KASTRIOTI ( SKANDERBEK) 🇦🇱🇽🇰
The Kastrioti were a european noble family not some afghan villagers whats up with the AI generated pics
GJERGJ KASTROTI it is a Albanian. His Castle is in City of KRUJA and his Grave is in the City of Lezha ..NOW ! the Greeks never fought against the Turks ,the Arvanitasit Albanian are 60 percent of population in Greece then and know ,the Arvanitas fought against the Turks .The Greeks have always stolen Albanian history and heroes .THIS is a real story l give you people .In City of Patra Greece the rode named VOCIS my husband last name is VOCI he is Arvanitas Albanian they left from Greece because there was not aloud to speak Albanian then and know his properties still there in Patra
Interesting
The greeks never fought against the turks? Where are you getting your history from? Nobody in the balkans fought more against the turks than the greeks especially during the balkan wars in 1912/13 when they drove them away and killed almost all turks in Greece.
Typical gypsie reaction when they see someone is already dead then all go to fight it this is exactly how greeks fought the Turks only at the end when ottomans were already finished by other countries and suddenly Greece is coming to fight the Turks hahaha 😝 😂😂😂
Say it louder for all the GREEKS in the back 👏
Very true. In fact most Greeks think they come from Ancient Greece but they were all driven out. In fact a German prince was sent over to try to rule the land. Most of the inhabitants were Arvanites and they wanted official language to be Albanian.
Why did he have the Turkic title Bey/Beg in his name?
The video tells you why
Because he was taken by the Turks as a kid and thus given an Ottoman name. His birth name is Gjergj Kastrioti
Scanderbeg means iskander bey or alexander the great sultan name that
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why did Gjergj Kastrioti (Iskandar) have a goats head with horns on his head?
Skanderbeg wore a helmet with a goat's head and horns as a symbol of strength, courage, and resilience. The goat's head was part of his family coat of arms, served to intimidate enemies, and represented his defiance against the Ottomans, helping to create a powerful and distinct image as a national hero of Albania.
@@LearningBlurb Thanks, but i think the Helmet with Goat's head and horns along with his name "Iskandar" (Skender being the modern Albanian version) connects him to something much much earlier in time.
He comes from an ancient line of Knights and Noble-Men that took a sacred oath to defend and protect humanity (No Religion involved In this Sacred-Order of the Creator)
Iskander "the Albanian" was not only supporting and protecting Albanian people in his mission of liberation, but many others as well. I'm sure you will agree with this as it is well documented.
At home we can call him The Albanian hero, but all in all he was "The Peoples Hero" of Europe against the Ottoman Empire. This is why he is encoded in the scriptures of Hebrew, Greek , and Arabic by his birth name Gjergj Kastrioti 😇
He did embrace his Christian faith and built strong relationships with key Christian and Catholic states around Albania at the time. However, he also valued European traditions, so it's likely he was not just defending Christianity but also Europe, its people, and its customs.
This is very interesting and fascinating - "He comes from an ancient line of Knights and Noble-Men that took a sacred oath to defend and protect humanity (No Religion involved In this Sacred-Order of the Creator)
" Where can I read more about this?

Just crap chatgpt, that was not the battle of nish, but the battle of torvioll the first one where ottomans where defeated.
Its one error, most of it is my own writing.
Battle of Nis??? He never participated in this battle!!!
You are right!
Battle of Kruje:
Sultan Murad II and his son, Mehmed II, led a 100,000-strong Ottoman army to attack the city of Kruje. Despite being outnumbered, Skanderbeg outsmarted them and ultimately forced the Ottoman army to retreat.
This is what happens when you let AI write the story.

@@exincom4729 The Ottoman historian Ahmet Mufit in a book published in 1530 mentions Kastriotis as a Greek. A. Salvi in 1718 referred to Skanderbeg as a Greek (Greco). The Englishman C. Randall in 1810 called him a Greek Hero (Grecian Hero) and the Swedish Barrau initially and Rudbeck later (1835) considered Kastriotis as Greek. The History of the French historian Paganel (Paganel: Histoire de Scanderbey), published in Paris in 1855 clearly refers to him as a Greek. G. de Antonellis suggested Skanderbeg was a Greek Christian. Clement C. Moore, believed in the 19th century that "his father (John) was a Greek from Epirus"...
