      You are exaggerating. By that time the Janissaries were a shadow of their formal selves.
      "By 1622, the Janissaries were a "serious threat" to the stability of the Empire. Through their "greed and indiscipline", they were now a law unto themselves and, against modern European armies, ineffective on the battlefield as a fighting force."

      Polish flag is only White and Red, there is no Blue in it. White is for the purity, red for the blood spilled for Poland's freedom. 11 SEP 1683 was a decisive battle that marked the beginning of the end of Muslim Ottoman Turkish domination in eastern Europe. At around 6:00 pm the Polish king Jan Sobieski III ordered the cavalry attack in four groups, three Polish and one from the Holy Roman Empire-18,000 horsemen charged down the hills, the largest cavalry charge in history. Sobieski led the charge at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars" Turks called them "The Winged Angels of Death" after this battle the Muslim Ottoman Turkish dominance of Europe diminished. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna

    I want to add another reason for why the Ottomans lost to the Habsburgs and the Holy Leauge, a man named Georg Rimpler. Georg was a German mercenary engineer who had excelled at defensive structures and fortifying areas, and had experience fighting the Ottomans. He was in charge of building defenses around the city, which was in no shape ready, because the walls were medieval and held in place by gravity and could easily be knocked down. Georg and the Austrian Commander had just over a week to prepare the city, Georg set up earthworks, palisades, trenches, and defenses in the city. By the end he made the city a deathtrap, slowing the Ottomans as they advanced and giving the garrison and the Holy Leauge precious time. Sadly Georg did not live to see Vienna be saved, he died in the city's hospital after taking serious wounds from a Ottoman mine while inspecting his defenses. He never got credit for the defense and was mostly forgotten.

      I mean the most important reason why the ottomans lost the siege is the fact that the leader of the attack didnt bring strong canons to destroy the walls. He brought only small and weak ones cuz he didnt want to do much damage on Vienna. At the end it was stupid from him and also he underestimatedhis rivals which was his end.

      @Anonyme: "Look at it : the turks lost against outdated armies of outdated countries". In what way Habsburg army was outdated? Or Polish? PLC did lost some battles during years 1648 - 1660 (Khmelnytsky Uprising and Deluge) but it was mainly fault of small number of proffesional army and use of pospolite ruszenie, as well as many internal issues. In 1683 Polish army wasn't as effective as in beginning of XVII century (Kircholm, Klushino), but was still very good, especially with Sobieski's reforms.

      Great famine took place in 1601-1603 and PLC did not declare war until 1609. Yeah, some magnates did act to support false Dimitris, but it was rather Muscovy fault it was so weak, that even little private armies could intervene. You seem to not see internal issues. In 1648-1667 PLC was probably devastated even more than Muscovy during Time of Troubles, but we're not saying it's only fault of Cossacs, Swedes, Russians, Prussians etc. It was mainly our fault that we let that happen.

      Broad Street Bullies Amazing, almost every word of what you just said was wrong.
      1.Nobles did not approve the partitions en masse, it was mostly a group of bribed parlimentarists and oligarchs who cooporated. Check the Bar confederation.
      2.Also it was only Polish-Lithuanian commonwealt. Ruthenians did not have their own institutions and were subject to polonization and exploitation.
      3.Yes, feudal system was the thing that led to the partitions by large, as it basically deprived city dwellers of most rights and turned peasants into slaves of nobility. Russia suceeded beacuse in their case the nobility was tightly controlled by absolutist monarch and they had good expansion opportunities and few strong neighbours: only Poland and Sweden initially, + weakened Ottomans later on. (and they didn't fight Germany and Austro-Hungary until WW1, in which Russia collapsed)

Germans were defending their city Vienna from the beginning, about 2 months, stopping the Ottoman miners from blowing up the walls. An additional 50.000 Germans from the rest of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation came, on 12 September 1683; only 20.000 Poles came.

Relations have deteriorated since this meeting. The Austrians stopped supplying Polish troops. They also refused to accept the burial of Polish soldiers in the city, indicating fields and cemeteries further away, where the fallen soldiers from the Turkish army were buried. There have been instances of opening fire to hungry Polish soldiers attempting to enter the city. They also made it difficult to obtain the ships needed to transport the wounded and sick to the hospital organized in Prezburg.

    The most important defeat of Ottoman history. After that battle, Ottomans had sufficient resource to get situation under control despite fighting against four major countries but Kara Mustapha Pasha was executed by the Sultan and all Ottoman lines got into disarray. In Turkish history, between 1683-1699 is called 'disastrous years'. It is very ironic that for Polish people whose Hussars had major role defeating the Ottomans, their country was partitioned by Habsburgs. Irony again, Ottomans didnt recognized this partition and accept immigration from Poland. There is still a town called as 'Polonezkoy', means Poland village where these immigrants settled and one of the most decent places in Istanbul.

At around 6:00 pm the Polish king Jan Sobieski III ordered the cavalry attack in four groups, three Polish and one from the Holy Roman Empire-18,000 horsemen charged down the hills, the largest cavalry charge in history. Sobieski led the charge at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars" Turks called them "The Winged Angels of Death" after this battle the Muslim Ottoman Turkish dominance of Europe diminished. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna

    The Ottomans tried to dig a tunnel underneath the walls. The bakers, who worked during the quiet early morning hours, heard the diggings and alerted the authorities. The tunnel construction was thwarted and the Emperor had the bakers create a special bread to pay tribute to the bakers. The bakers created a roll in the form of a crescent, the symbol of the Ottomans. When Austrian Princess Marie Antoinette went to France to marry King Louis, she brought along her bakers, who in turn brought with them the special bread, which the French made famous as the croissant.

    Quarrel between Grand Vizier and Tatar Khan lead to disaster. Kara Mustafa did not want to give Tatars any cannons. and Tatars just watched to Pols pass through strategic bridges. Ottomans nearly recovered from the 16 years long war but they faced another betrayal by their own governor. When governor captured by Germans, he sang like a nightingale. Ottomans defeated at Zenta and it broke their backbone at 1699. A decade or two later massive Crimean Tatar army lost at the battle of Kanjal to small number of Circassian troops and after that they never recovered from their loses. Betrayals and quarrels between two Turkic States sealed their fate.

      "Quarrels between 2 Turkic states". Mate, the Ottomans fought the Byzantine Empire which was divided in 3, and even after it came together(barely, not really - Trebizond and Epirus still did not join in the fight), they STILL had civil wars. It's what happens with Empires after a while. They rise with excellent generals and leaders... then they decay with civil wars and invasions. Unlike the romans, the Ottoman Empire fell in a modern age, where society changed. I saw Turkey carved between France, Greece, England and Russia. Barely anything remained of the pre WWI Ottoman Empire. If that would have happened in 1400s... the Ottomans would have been wiped out, just like the romans were.

    I appreciate the video but it has a lot of mistakes. To point out few, Poland and Lithuania constitued one country that was called the The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, not "Poland-Lithuania" like you mentioned.
    There were no Lithuanian soldiers at the battle, they were late to the gathering and Sobieski left early with only Crown army that consisted of 4 thousand hussars and 16 to 17 thousand other cavalry units such as "Pancerni (armored)", Lisowczycy, because Hussars were a shock cavalry, and other infantry support not only for the raiders and cannons but also constitued support for other Holy League forces. Lithuanian troops repelled Russians and intervened in Hungary from the other side that allowed us to win few more battles and free Hungary.
    You kind off missed the 12 hour bombardment that the Polish troops did on the Turks from Kahlenberg, that was the whole point of climbing it and was crucial among other things. When Sobieski saw the encampment of the Turks he said that those people know nothing of entranchment war.
    Sobieski was called "The Great Lion of Lehistan" and the "Saviour of Christendom" not the made up statement you made. This is written on his grave, which you can visit in Kraków, the city of kings.
    A bit more research and be more precise please. Thank you.
    P.S.
    I highly doubt any kind of civilization on Earth made 60m high walls around their city, that's what you said. 200 feet is 60meters.

      @Algirdas Urbanavicius Not really, you are wrong, in Kircholm battle 90 % of soldiers were polish troops sent by king Jan III Waza as a reinformence. In battle Hetman Chodkiewicz was Lithuanian (actually Belarusian from old Ruthenian Family). Rest 10% of army were soldiers of fortune from Western Europe. Somehow when it came to big battles afer Grunwald 1410 Lithuanian army always vanquish and polish troops always had to save Lithuanian ass... Polish nobels were really angry for that and they wanted to break commowealth, unfortunately for Poland they didn't and Lithuanians wars with Sweden and Moscow destroyed polish budget. PS Commanders of front lines in Kircholm battle: Tomasz Dąbrowa, Piotr Sapieha, Teodor Lacki, Wincenty Woyna - they aren't Lithuanian names aren't they? If it was Lith. army why all of them had Polish names and were Polish? Lithuanians were one of the worst ally in entire Polish history...

    A few things I would like to add:
    -the position of the vesir was not secure. He had to do campaigns and win battles to secure his position.
    -the vesir was rather arrogant and ignored his generals or any proper counter measures, because he was overconfident in beating the Habsburger fast.
    -afaik the Habsburger built countermines and there was a huge "mine war" going on beneath the city.
    -the Habsburger were able to raise an army of around 45k with the help of the pope. Same goes for Poland. So the actual number of the Christian side should be around equal to the Ottoman side. The Ottoman side also had troops from their vassels transylvania, Crimea and Hungary, which were commanded separetly by the leaders.
    -initially the ottomans wanted to bring their heavy artillery, but it got stuck in the mud and the vesir didn't care much about it. Mining turned out to be a great alternative.
    -the vesir screwed it up after the battle too. He order a chaotic retreat and due to his ill treatment of his generals/vassels, the troops run off rather than regrouping in Hungary. On top of that the vesir executed more generals to push the blame on them. Regardless it helped the Christian side to push and conquer Hungary.

    He had entrusted defense of the rear to the Khan of Crimea and his cavalry force, which numbered between 30,000-40,000. There is doubt as to how much the Tatars participated in the final battle before Vienna. Their Khan refused to attack the relief force as it crossed the Danube on pontoon bridges and also refused to attack them as they emerged from the Wienerwald. The Ottomans also could not rely on their Wallachian and Moldavian allies. George Ducas, Prince of Moldavia, was captured, while Șerban Cantacuzino's forces joined the retreat after Sobieski's cavalry charge.

      @@boahkeinbockmehr Actually, Tatar betrayal written in Ottoman sources proved to be wrong. Sobieski used different bridge from Tatars holding to reach Vienna. However, in Battle only 600 Tatars made Cavalry Charge, remaining Tatars (in beginning of Campaign there were more than 100k Tatars) didn't participate battle because they are full of booty, therefore they wanted to return home without losing their booty. Also Tatar cavalries are already incompetent military unit, I don't think they will make significant chance despite of their huge numbers. On the other hand, Vienna would presumably fall if conflict among Ottoman commanders doesn't exist. Performance of Ottoman soldiers mostly rely on trust to commanders, and even low rank officer wrote in his memoirs about conflict between Kara Mustafa Pasha, Crimean Khan, another Ottoman commander İbrahim Pasha. Knowing this conflict damage Ottoman soldiers moral devastatingly. Ottomans would probably take Vienna before Relief Army arrived if this moral factor doesn't exist. Capturing Vienna isn't end of the war of course. War would continue still.
