- How did the Ottomans Fail to take Malta?
Clashes between the Ottoman and European sides would continue over the following years, though nothing too drastic for some time. But, a failed naval campaign by Philip II of Spain had crumbled at the Battle of Djerba off the coast of Tunisia, reaffirming Ottoman superiority and securing the fear for the Hospitallers that the Turks would, surely, attack Malta very soon…

As a Maltese person you have no idea how happy I am to see this video. Thank you! Though I also think that us Maltese have not been given enough credit; ultimately there were only about 500 knights of the Order, the vast majority of the fighting was done by Maltese civilians turned mercaneries.
this video does not necessarily fairly reflect what we studied locally. It is said that Dragut was besieging Fort St Elmo from tigne point and that he died there....hence the name "il ponta ta dragut". We also study that the large army that was promised never actually made it and that the mere news of it scared the Ottomans to flee. Furthermore i cant get over why they keep referring to La Vallette by his middle name. They should have approached some Maltese historians for this video.
Rare to hear from someone there. Your DNA is very unique.

I lived in Malta in 2004. Beautiful country and people. I definitely know how stubborn Maltese can be 😂
Remember St Elmo, the castle broke before the knights did
St. Elmo stands!
nice Cadia reference !
I’ve heard this said before. Is it a saying in Malta?
Thank you as a Maltese living in Australia. Wow Malta has a lot of History to offer. Proud to be Maltese 👏
Is there a pdf on Maltralian?
Suleiman: Yea I am going to spare this knight's what could possible go wrong?
43 year's later: Malta became major navel base for the holy league
Yes it was stupid of him to spare them he shoulda massacred them while had the chance.

"If we had to pay such a high price for so small a son, what horrible toll must be had for the Father and Mother?!" Mustafa after taking Fort St Elmo and gazing upon St Angelo and her sister fort Fort St Michael across the bay.
"It's another St Elmo!!!" The Turks seeing the ancient capital of Mdina firing it's cannons in a bluff of strength.
This siege was one of the most storied in history.
Mdina's bluff probably prevented disaster. That city was largely unprepared for a siege, but that single cannon shot gave the Ottomans enough spook to back off

You forgot to say beyond criticizing Spain that in 1.565 he helped knights to repel otomán attack on the famous siege of malta It is inexplicable
While Spain wasn't specifically mentioned, it is well known and acknowledged that the "Gran Soccorso" which saved Malta was financed and organised by the King of Spain. Many knights were in fact Spanish.
@@georgebronte840 and dont forgot the piccolo socorso both lead for Spanish al Sicily was spain
Eventually an all-out attack was ordered in August, and the Ottomans were on the brink of success when, in an audacious move, a small force of knights attacked the Ottoman camp. Thinking that the knights had Spanish reinforcements, Mustafa retreated and the advantage was lost.

Greetings from Turkey When Suleiman's father ascended to the throne, the pashas said to him, 'Let's take Malta', and cruel Selim's answer was 'I can't wait for days for a small place, I destroy states.

I'm Maltese, thank you sharing this :) just a few points though. The boats with the 1000 janissaries came from Marsa and the 1st small relief force the "piccolo soccorso" crossed undetected on land to kalkara and then crossed by boats to St.Angelo. Ascanio de la Corna was one of the leaders in the 'Gran Soccorso" great relief force was noticed with his bloodied sword from tip to hilt.

This is why you should never judge a book by its cover, as a Maltese person I am proud to say that we won this war because of our proud and determined army and with the help of the gran soccorso from Sicilian forces
suleiman was too old. normally padisahs accompany their troops to assert dominance and control the command. in malta barbary corsairs have multiple authorities battling for superriority. even in ottoman sources it is written as a disgrace it calls barbary corsairs these brigands who know nothing of order of battle and discipline. dragut who was a hell of a guy was sidelined by other forces for influence and that cost ottomans a lot. maltese were extremely foolhardy warriors too. it ottoman sources it states there are 3 nations in world that can match warfare ability of turks in world first spainards second knights third french.
I'm so proud of malta for defeating the barbaric ottomans. 🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
@@ahmedkeremsayar the truth was that Maltese warriors had barely anything to lose. It was a david vs goliath situation. 9000 men against an army of 44,000. There were many personal documents from Maltese warriors that there was little time to think, many Maltese soldiers were equipped with short swords, daggers and maces. With their spirit they just fought the enemy knowing very well they could die. So foolhardy is a bit of a broad term because in reality the maltese were just adrenaline filled warriors that had nothing to lose. Edit: since malta was christian at this time, many Maltese warriors were devout christians that will do anything to drive a muslim foe from their country.

And there are still some people that say Turkey is a European nation? Its behaviour toward Europe was always one of agression and colonization.
For some reason the European Great Powers decided that the concept of balance of power was more important than the destruction of the Ottoman Empire. Only Russia was content on constantly fighting the Turks whenever they could. Too bad Protestant powers did not give a crap about the Catholic and Orthodox People's wars with the threat of Islam since they are nice and safe in Northern Europe.
are you joke??? pan european unity is just established after ww2 , before that everyone killed each other, but for sure turkey or turks are mostly different rest of europe since turkey's islamic past while the others christian

I would say that Christianity hurt humanity the most. Look at brutality of Europeans in medieval ages ,30,000 Christians died by crusaders themselves on orders of pope while Islam had stability and phenomenal successes in both science and military. Conquering most territory in so less time with founding modern universities, variolations, algorithm,algebra, earth's circumference, astrolage,pragramming,modern hospitals etc. Europe while had disease, war, catholic crusades killing more Christians then muslims and death. Catholicism was a plague to humanity

Malta. Small island big balls ! Amazing video and well informative, I am Maltese and I loved watching this, the great siege of 1565 is so underrated !
The expected video has arrived. Great work 👍🏻
Great video! I'm Maltese and I studied history at the University of Malta, i'm now doing my Master Degree there. This is very well researched and your proncouciations of our cities and forts is very good, quite close to what they really are in Maltese! One thing however, on the map you place Dragut and his forces on Mount Sciberras with Pasha's forces. In reality Dragut was bombarding St Elmo from the opposite shore at Tigne. Today that area is nicnamed Dragut Point and in the following centuries the Order would consturct a small fort there to prevent the same thing Dragut did from happening again, thus not allowing the enemy to bombard St Elmo and Valletta from that position. In fact when the French invaded the island in 1798, Fort Tigne was the last fort to hold out after the surrender of the Order to the French forces.
Did they fight the french? i always tought they just gave up.
@@Storm-1. the forces in Tigne and Gozo fought back, according to the primary sources. The garrisons in Valletta and Birgu, did try to resist but surrendered shortly after.

This siege is a great read. And one many will keep reading about for years to come.
Wonderful thing about islands. They don't sink.
Bit anachronistic, but the principle holds.
Malta is such a beautiful island and the culture, history and people are amazing. I had an opportunity to travel there several times while serving abroad in Sicily. I look forward to going back someday.
I love that you mentioned the floating crucifixes story ❤️.
There's also another story that during a Siege on the Citadel at Gozo, the Ottomans taunted the defenders by firing bread over the walls to which the Gozitans responded by milking their goats, making cheese, and firing the same bread back at them full of cheese 🤣. Sadly Gozo didn't fair as well as Malta did in the siege and a lot of the population was taken to Libya as slaves
I went to Malta and paid my respects to those people who fought for freedom ❤
The first campaign mission of Act I of Age of Empires 3 eh, anyone?
No mention of the Spanish and Italian defenders at St Elmo, who were most of the garrison of the fort. The Maltese militia was 6ooo strong but they were a small part of the defenders of St Elmo. The resistence of St Elmo was the key of the battle.
The 600 Spanish soldiers sent as reinforcements are in the video "sicilian". And the 8000 Spanish soldiers that landed in Malta and expelled the Turks are in the video "European". And of course no mention of the 60 Spanish galleys that transported the relief force. Amazing how you can talk for so many minutes about the Siege of Malta and not mention even once the contribution of the Spanish and its Italian allies.
How about 7 of September with the relief force from the Spanish empire and others? That was the last battle of this campaign if I am not mistaken while the ottoman force where on the run.
Yeah, the video stopped abruptly before the relieve army actually landed... ?
A true David versus Goliath story!
Are you sure that's how it happened? Age of Empires 3 taught me the Ottomans broke ranks after a burly scotsman sent his men to light a signal fire. The Knights then threw flaming hoola hoops at the janissaries until they completely routed. The Ottomans only ever invaded the island to stop a world-spanning secret society from using the map they found in a Maltese cave to discover the fountain of youth in Florida. Then both the Knights and the Ottomans abandoned Malta to chase the fountain in the new world.
That game was a wild ride.
Although I prefer the history accurate campaigns in the other entries of the franchise I had a good story lol
😄
I loved the story of that campaign. Aeo3 is underrated
@@calidone7661 still a historical campaign would have been better a Napoleonic campaign or a revolutionary campaign would have been great the seven years war would have been other great campaign

I was just reading about this last night and how the knights of st john actually colonized 4 islands in the new world around 1600s. Then you post a video about Malta and ottomans which Malta belong to st John's
Malta has always fascinated me. Great choice!
As a Maltese, I am proud of my ancestors. It is remarkable that such a tiny island had the balls to stand against a mighty tyrant & win. Such victory is praised amongst locals & Christendom yet, not even mentioned in Ottoman's history.

Can you do same about Croatia? They took over 3/5 (more/less) of Croatia but not Central and West parts.
Good question as it seems that except for Italian, French, and somewhat Spanish (Spain was an Empire then so very unlikely) mainlands couldn't be taken but Islands were wide open for Ottomans to take in.
Also Venica was open but couldn't take it all, and Austria they came close like to Vienna but that's about it.
Might have further north in Russia? But then Poland-Baltic (later to become Russian, Australian, then Prussia to Germany) would block it as well as Geography.
Persia is possible but can't get all of it. Africa is possible but can't go too far (idk why but Morroco was the only one left) and likley stayed just coast and not further. Maldives is last possible but big if as it's very small.
So rest is history...
Morocco was theoretical a puppet of the ottoman. Not official but the sultan of Morocco was loyal to the ottoman sultan.
Rome was the target for the ottoman empire, but after internal issues in the 1480s the focus shifted to territory protection until selim I came along and destroyed the mamluks
austria and persia was unlikely due to logistics and technology of the age. venice was also impossible as ottoman navy was very unlikely to defeat venetians in adriatic sea. indeed, it is said that italian campaign of suleiman at 1538 failed because venetians didnt cooperate.
Venice? You have gotta be kidding me.
Austria got saved by the winged hussars, oh and some germans but ehhhh...
Russia is impossible, you cannot get pass Hungary and the Magyar Hussars who are OP, Bohemians with their war wagons and most importantly Poland, which was a major empire itself.
Persia is Iran, the deathbed of empires so no. Africa has the Sahara so not likely either (Morocco was an empire back then). And Maldives? You know it belongs to the Portuguese back then right? Making war with an empire that owned half of the world back then aint the greatest of ideas...

Shout-out to the spanish men who gave everything they got to defend christianity that you barely mentioned
Deus Vult
Correct, no mention of the Spanish (and their Italian allies) that made up a third of the fighting men and most of the St Elmo fort. Also , the relief army was not "Sicilian", it was the Spanish army based on Sicily.
I think even if they captured malta, remember when they threw dead animals in the wells? i think that wouldve hindered the ottoman army alot.
A lot of the Ottomans got dysentery from that. What made it effective is that the island has no fresh water sources apart from those wells that collect rain water so it was either dysentery or dehydration
The wells inside the forts were un poisoned. Had they taken the island they would have had a solid base to attack Italy. The same base that was used successfully to invade Italy four hundred years later.
Nice video
When will you continue the roman empire series
Look up how to say subsequently for next video!
as a turk nice video!
I always thought it was pronounced hos-pi-taaler, though I like the pronunciation of "hospitaler" it implies they send people to hospitals, instead of provide hospice.
They do both and the word hospital is based on them as the modern historical system has its roots in the hospitals the knights of St. John set up.
Like Vienna, the siege of Malta was not as important in the grand strategic picture as western popular opinion believe. The Ottoman Empire had reached its borders of power projection. The empire would have extremely hard time holding those cities even it was successful in capturing, let alone expanding further.
You guys lost
@@MrMustang13 idk they still won. Half of Europe fell ,I don't think a small island with tiny resources mattered anything. Vienna was more important,as well as the Spanish.
@@BarlasofIndus the ottomans never fully defeated and conquered any major European power. The balkans were small kingdoms.
@@MrMustang13 lol never? Hungary was the most powerful eastern European power, Wallachia? What else Europe had? Spain was also defeated by ottomans, it's and Portuguese navy destroyed alongside the pope's troops. France and Britain at that time weren't even close to fighting ottomans at that time. Those were one of the strongest nations at the time with the rest being backward and damp, England was literally torn apart in civil war,and France was way too weak from wars with England to even fight,holy Roman empire was a mess. Even queen Elizabeth later said that if the ottomans make it past the boundaries into central Europe,while of Europe and Christendom would be doomed
@@BarlasofIndus the Ottomans' kryptonite were the Russians, ironic that the English and French saved them from the Russian empire.
an interesting fact: the members of Catholic military orders (Templars, Knights Hospitaller, Knights of Calatrava, etc...) would only retreat or surrender on the orders of their Grand Master, on the contrary it was their duty to fight to the death, it was forging a letter from the Grand Master of Hapitaller's that Sultan Baibars managed to capture the Krak des Chevaliers

Every failed siege of Ottoman's considered to be "miracle". Of course 1 or 2 sieges out of 20 could be fail. 1st siege of vienna is a great example. Suleiman the magnificent waited habsburgs for a decisive field battle and habsburgs just stayed back in their castles in fear. Admit or not, ottoman war machine in 16th century had no competent rival amongst european kingdoms onto open field battles. Sieges ? Meh, sieges have their own stories.
What are you saying my friend? If it was Spain that stopped the Ottoman Empire, the first power in the 16th century was Spain and it lasted until the 18th century, the Ottomans were one of the great powers but the one that dominated the world at that time was Spain
How did the Ottomans fail to take Malta?
Very interesting question!. I would answer the same way the Germans failed to conquer Malta in World War II. The tenacity and bravery of the Maltese solders and civilians played a huge part in defending the Maltese islands. Malta was the most bombed country in WWII. No wonder Malta was awarded the George Cross from Britain after the war!
In case you’re wondering, I live abroad but have the honour to say I was born in Malta.
Few mistakes:
1. Fort Saint Michael wasn't on the end of Senglea (it was placed from the direction of land)
2. It wasnt clear that Ottomans will attack Malta, also Sicily was likely direction of attack
3. At the end of siege of malta was also battle between great relief and Ottomans army
And maybe its not the mistake but imo you oversimplified the background of the siege and few things during the siege
actually, it was very clear they would attack since the knights had spies in Constantinople, the intelligence pointed to an invasion on Malta. If you want a
500 Knights of Malta, 900 Spanish soldiers, not even mentioned.
I'M FROM MALTA I❤️🇲🇹✊🏼
Dues Vault
Thought they took it in the end 🎉
is crazy how most of the people ignore the help of the Spanish empire 2 Soccorso:
The Piccolo Soccorso
While the Turkish commanders were planning their first attacks on their next objectives, on July 2, a long awaited relief force from Sicily landed in St Paul’s Bay. This was however, a modest, unit, made up of some 700 men at arms, led by the Spanish knight, Colonel Melchior De Robles. On landing at St Paul’s Bay, the Christian troops headed towards Mdina where they rested. Then, by nightfall they marched stealthily soutward and eastwards to reach the fortifications of Birgu without being detected by the Turks.
Arrival of the Gran Soccorso - Lifting of the Siege
Finally on September 7, Don Garcia de Toledo’s armada, some 10,000 soldiers in all, arrived from Sicily and landed at Mellieħa Bay. Like the previous relief force, the troops made their way to Mdina. Once all troops disembarked, the empty Christian galleys headed towards the entrance of the Grand Harbour to signal to De Valette that aid had reached Malta’s shores; this move also served to dishearten the enemy. The ship’s captains then sailed back to Sicily.
In Turkey it is also said that Malta is the only place Suleiman the Magnificent wanted the conquer but couldn't. Even though I don't really think Ottomans thought Malta was so significant anyway. And about that crucified knights; I have heard Ottomans had some brutal executions against enemies who betray the agreements such as flaying or putting them on cannonfire or putting bandits on grappling hooks "Turkish: çengel cezası" on places people to see but never ever heard of crucifixion in Ottomans before, I guess that was a Christian way of our çengel.
dragut was a supreme chadlord. he got captured and ransomed by a huge amount and when freed he raided all of italy and send half of his share in the raids money to his captors and said I feel like I owe you this since I cost more than what was given.
As a turk i like how you told the story.

Ottomans in
16th century: Aren’t we invincible,really?
20th century:Bro stop attacking I am sick
It started i think from the crimean war between russia and ottoman
To all those who played the campaign in age of empires III
I think many of the ottoman soldiers died from the effect of the poisoned dead animals.
Suleiman, why did you okayed the knights? Also sad for Turgut Reis
Why even mention england/queen Elizabeth when she did nothing except ally with the ottomans against Spain? To england the battle of lepanto was almost nonexistent. On the other hand, the documentary only mentions a promise of spanish help when they actually sent 2 forces, the "little" relief force and then the large one.
Ottoman defeat was due to ignoring the suggestion of experienced commander Dragut / Turgut Reis.
start of ottoman decline was due to power struggle of these burocrats without a strong padisah figure to tame the forces who wanted power and influence ottomans got prisoners of janissary and devshirme classes

Thank you Malta for your bravery and sacrifice. All of Christendom owes you a debt of gratitude.
This is actually quite brief and misses a lot of detail. For anyone interested Try reading The Great Siege by Ernle Bradford. It's a truly excellent book
considering how the Ottomans were possibly the second worst colonisers after the belgians it is praiseworthy that the maltese were finally able to stop them in the med sea in just under three hundreds years the ottomans would be turning to europe to desperately save them from the russians.
Lol worse is russia uk spain portugal! Ottomans the best
Ottomans weren’t a colonial empire.
@@wasif2881 lol ok dude whatever helps yu sleep at night.
@@AlexC-ou4ju Im not saying that they aren’t a colonial empire based on my emotions.
Ottoman empire & austro-hungarian empire even the russian empire isn’t considered colonial.
Though Imperialism & Colonialism is almost the same,ultimately domination upon other group.
Colonial empire is when a certain group build settlements of their people in the conquered land & it has some more definition to it.
Ottomans were a 13th century empire while the modern concept of colonialism (not referring to early colonies of ancient civilzations those are hella diff stuff)was brought after the spanish conquest of south america.i replied to help you differ the terms. As an imperial power ottomans have done atrocities or mistreated the arabs,armenians & etc people at certain point thats a thing for sure. Because imperialism is imperialism.
1st worst colonial power should be spanish empire btw imo.
@@wasif2881and you are still paying for your betraying today with your own blood in the Arab world .
Congratulations for hospitaliers and Maltese people!
