🚩 Skanderbeg, a national hero of the Albanians, was the first to organize a league of Albanian princes, over which he was appointed commander in chief, in 1444. For twenty two years, in the period 1444-66, he effectively repulsed 13 Turkish invasions. His successful resistance to the Ottoman armies made him a hero throughout the Western world.

Skanderbeg is forgotten in Europe today, but back then he was THE STAR. The Pope even wanted to make him the leader of the new Crusade, but unfortunately he died in Ancona. He was awarded the title "Athleta Christi". Fought against the Ottomans, at that time the most powerful army in Europe and Asia Minor, and at the same time against the Venetians, who also had very good armies. And he traveled to Naples to help the local ruler in suppressing a revolt. Even Sultan Mehmet, the conqueror of Constantinople, had great respect for him and called him the shield and sword of Europe. Even Vivaldi wrote an opera in his name. He won 25 battles against the Ottomans, which, as already mentioned, had the most powerful army in Europe and Asia Minor, and always outnumbered, sometimes even 3 times behind. Who knows how many more victories he won in his time with the Ottomans? Anyone who says Skanderbeg is nothing special is quite simply an idiot.

All albania land had not that many people from baby to old ones. 4- He was unwanted by local population and lords like lek dukagjini , karl topia , Arianit golemi and even his nephew Hamza kastriot fight agaist him . 5- His figure was unknow among albanians until 1920 after christian powers created albania they aslo created their heroes as they wanted .

[@altrias2455]

Not that obvious, some men thrive in defensive wars, taking advantage of terrain, troops morale and enemy overconfidence, but aren't very good at exploiting large armies and numerical advantages. Take Robert E. Lee, for example. His greatest victories were defensive battles against superior northern numbers, but as soon as he went on the offensive, he got beaten back. Ultimately, it was Grant's mastery of logistics and good use of his numbers and industrial advantage that allowed him (who, by all acounts, wasn't a "tactical genius", unlike men like Mc Clellan) to overcome Lee. Then again, it was a particular context. As were Skanderberg's times and achievements. Don't get me wrong, the man is a genius, but it's a bit of a shortcut to think he'd have been just as great a conqueror as he was a defender for his people.

My ancestors come from northern Albania. Ottoman Turks occupied Albania lands eventually but at an extreme cost which stopped them from further invading Europe. Albanians were the gatekeepers that stopped Ottoman Turks from taking Vatican. If it were not for the Albania sacrifice Vatican would probably be called Istanbul today. Imagine being able to occupy a country or people for 500 years and yet still fail to conquer or assimilate the people. That’s because Albanians already had a developed identity, culture and langue that you could not destroy. Scanderbeg was the mortar that put all these ingredients together and solidified Albanian identity and country. Ottomans invaded the land and found the eagle people who would not kneel to no one. The only thing that makes me sad today is how many history books and ancient artifacts Ottomans destroyed as a sign of revenge to Albanians for resisting. A proud Illyrian here!!! Survived Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans. They all are gone but Albanians still here today. 😂

This dude should have been in charge of the battle of Varna. That wouldve really changed history.

[@gigasigma8373]

people say that skanderbeg had the advantage of knowing ottoman tactics, but there are hundreds of balkan generals in the ottoman ranks and never achieved what skanderbeg achieved.(also people act like the ottomans didnt know what tactics skanderbeg used in battle, they even had his nephew show them all of his tactics before the battle of albulena and he still defeated them having only 8k soldiers against 80k turks.) he was already an incredible general in the ottoman army and the sultan really loved him. his first battles actually happend in anatolia for the turks and also won all of them.

Exaggerated!

He was a genius military tactician ahead of his time. He challenged the superpower of the time and beat it every single time.

I think the will of the Albanians to be free played a role as well, as they say “ I am not scared of the enemy I’m facing I’m more scared loosing the ones I’m defending “

Beautiful Video, great effort @history Marche

In general I love your videos. But much love for including Albanian history in your videos.

[@velouris76]

I had only vaguely heard of Skanderbeg, and feel totally guilty for my own ignorance… Having just watched this, have to say, on this particular battle, his tactics were almost on a par with Hannibal… Definitely reading up on Skanderbeg…

[@rnz1155]

There are more videos about him, check Knowledgia’s and Kings and Generals’ videos about Skanderbeg

Thank You for another video.

[@fabiusmaximus7292]

thank you very much for this wonderful video. There are many battles of Scanderbeg still not published. We are waiting for you to make them.

A good day when HistoryTube uploads on the same day.

It's a battle reminiscent of Arminius and Agincourt. Legendary thru and thru

Not even close Arminius needed to ambush and was a coward

When I read comments from serbs (about Skanderbeg being serb and all those crazy stuff) , I feel like I am in a psychiatric hospital. Anyone feels the same? 🤣

[@Isa-the-chveneburi]

Useless Albania

[@blackcat.19]

That’s because they have no history at all. They are Russian leftovers the migrated to Europe and occupied land. Lying is part of Serbian DNA. You have to remember that even their name is Albanian. Serb is derived from Albania Shërbej or Shërbtor. They are nothing more than our servants who rebelled and occupied some our our land.

[@wankawanka3053]

You are Albanian having mental problems comes naturally to you anyway 😅

Ask them why Nicola Tesla from Montenegro have a photo with North Albanian costume traditional, that's maybe 🤔 say smth for his true origin

Great video! Thank you for the word "Recalcitrant" and for those looking for the definition: "having an obstinately uncooperative attitude towards authority or discipline."

I have been watching your videos for almost two years now and I am impressed by your moving graphics and the play on the field. I love the commentary and am not sure if it is a person or an AI but truly love the overall presentation. Why I am commenting today is because of your presentation of the sponsored products. I truly love it. Although I never thought about buying before but will for sure buy this face lifting product. Am saving for a later date and today cannot buy this perfect gift for my wife. God bless and keep making videos.
