🚩 The Second Turkish Siege of Vienna in 1683 was followed by a Habsburg offensive, during which Prince Eugene of Savoy became its foremost luminary. The siege of Buda in 1686 was fought between the Holy League and the Ottoman Empire, ending almost 150 years of Turkish rule. Although Eugene played a minor role in the siege, it was during these early encounters of the Long Turkish War that he made a name for himself and rose through the ranks.

It roughly reads: „The last governor of the 145 years of subjection of Buda, vizier Abdurrahmán Abdi Arnaut pasha died around this area on the afternoon of the second day of September 1686 in his 70th year of his life.

[@enriib4820]

@jaffer raza “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation” Seneca. There is always an element of luck involved but great leaders are prepared to seize the moment. But good try.

[@enriib4820]

@jaffer raza First of all Prince Eugene was not in charge of this campaign, the siege of Buda might have been a Phyrric victory but at The Battle of Petrovaradin he crushed the Ottomans up to 100, 000 lost their lives. He did this with about 80,000 troops against the 160,000 Ottoman forces. So you trying to undermine Prince Eugene’s battlefield accomplishment is just a futile endeavor to salvage your wounded pride because you’re obviously an Ottoman fan boy. Whether you like it or not the facts are the facts so just stop being so salty about it and recognize the tremendous ability of Prince Eugene. Can’t wait to hear your next excuse.

[@Emil.Fontanot]

@jaffer raza i am quite a fan of Ottoman military history but i think that you're really undermining the accomplishments of Eugene. I would put him in a top 10 European generals of all time, he fought and won every time against the Ottomans, he defeated Marshal Catinat, an very good Marshal of the Sun King, he fought very well against de Vendome, another great Marshal of the Sun King, he then formed one of the greatest partnerships in military history with the Duke of Marlborough (a better commander than Eugene in my opinion), the only bad mark of his career was the defeat at the hands of Claude Louis Hector de Villars, another Marshal of the Sun King (one of the greatest commanders in French history, extremely underrated). Eugene showed great ability in tactics but think that he was a real genius strategically and operationally, so his campaigns are his real masterpieces, more than his battles.

[@waylonkao8924]

Turenne is the most underrated commander in history. Napoleon considered him as the greatest commander in Modern history

An interesting fact of this siege is the participation of the Spanish troops of Charles II of Spain (Spanish Habsburgs), who despite not participating directly with the Kingdom and not being mentioned because it is spoken of in a general way, sent several regiments of volunteers (approximately 12,000 men) to the fight under the command of Manuel Lopez de Zuñiga, Duke of Béjar, who died on the spot, although his troops played such an important role during the reconquest of the city that a memorial can now be seen in the section of the wall that was captured by 100 or 300 of these volunteers. Also a correction that I wanted to make is that the Territory of Belgium is not marked on the Map as part of the Hispanic Monarchy, which remained as part of the kingdom until the War of Spanish Succession. On the other hand, since you are talking about the second half of the 17th century, I would like you to comment on a battle from the "Franco-Dutch war" that occurred between 1672 and 1678, perhaps the Battle of Saint-Denis, as it was a battle in which a great coalition of nations tried to stop the spectacular war machine of Louis XIV, it was indecisive, but it is an interesting confrontation that would serve as an example to show the difficulty that existed when facing the French army and why characters like Eugene of Savoy stood out both after successfully facing them.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

Spaniards also helped to defend Vienna at the first Ottoman siege in 1529. Luis de Ávalos maistre de Campo, Juan de Salinas, Jaime García de Guzmán, Jorge Manrique, Cristóbal de Aranda, Melchior de Villarnell and Jan de Agnilera. They commanded a group of 700 to 800 Spanish soldiers of which only about 250 survived. They were sent as support by María de Hungría (nacida como María de Habsburgo o bien María de Austria).

[@egillskallagrimson5879]

That story deserves a trip to Hungary just to see that memorial. No hay tierra que no haya conocido nuestra sangre en defensa de la fe.

@@egillskallagrimson5879 si, de hecho tanto en Wikipedia, como en Google puedes ver fotos de ese memorial, yo me enteré por un videos de KZbin de un canal de viajes de dos españoles y luego quede fascinado por la historia al leerla. Generalmente se ignora el reinado de Carlos II por sus problemas de salud, pero lo cierto es que en su tiempo vivieron los hombres más valientes del Imperio Hispánico, ya que a pesar de las derrotas, lograron mantener la Integridad territorial intacta, solo perdieron parte de Bélgica, el Franco Condado y unos pequeños territorios más. Fueron los Borbones los que perdieron la hegemonía territorial en Europa (más por culpa de las ambiciones de Luis XIV, que por Felipe V), no obstante el Rey Felipe logró recuperar el respeto del ejército español, reconquistando territorios como Sicilia, Napoles (para una rama menor de la familia) y me parece que Menorca también.

The fact that the Holy League had military genius commanders like Eugene caused the Ottomans to be defeated. He was one of the greatest military commanders in European history.

[@flasoyunda6166]

It was unfortunate for the Ottomans since they basically ran out of god-tier Köprülü Grand Viziers. If there was a great Köprülü to oppose Eugene, This war would have turned out less disasterous and much more bloody. This period is one of Ottoman Commanders and their incompetence. It is a century after Mezo-Keresztes and Kanije, but a century before Acre and almost 2 centuries before Plevne. The good Köprülüs were dead, and until Murad IV no Sultan could actually "rule" the country same way Suleiman or Mehmed or Selim did. This is just the "Era of Ottoman Retards". There were still Köprülüs and great commanders, but there were no more Gods on the battlefield, much like the "Century of Humiliation" in China.

There is an insgnificant inaccuracy: the video swapped the northern and southern locations. Actually the palace complex was (and still is) on the southern third of the Buda old town, and the "town" itself with its streets and houses are in northern part. So the last pasha of Buda more likely fell in the north. His symbolic grave can also be found on the northern wall, at he Anjou bastion. Right now I am writing these sentences in my home in the Pasarét neighborhood of Buda, and "Pasarét" literally means "Pasha's Meadows" and it was named in the honor of the last pasha of Buda :)

[@turkcukayi]

Wow, what an epic siege. I have never studied the war in such detail. My ancestors and the Habsburg coalition fought many epic battles in Europe over the centuries. Also, speaking of Eugene, it is impossible not to mention the Battle of Salankamen, which will take place 5 years after this war. And there is an important point in this war that many overlook. In the Battle of Salankamen, just as the Ottomans were about to defeat the Habsburgs and destroy Eugene's charisma, Grand Vizier Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha, who commanded the Ottoman army, was shot in the head and died instantly on the battlefield. Seeing this, the morale of the Ottoman army deteriorated and the army began to disintegrate. At this point luck was on Eugene's side. History is full of such breaking moments.

[@nemo0036]

Odd. I just looked up the battle of Slankamen, and Eugen was not the commander in it. It was Ludwig Wilhelm, Margrave of Baden-Baden. That being said, it seems he was also a well-regarded commander and a contemporary of Eugen.

Napoleon always fought great armies and empires but Nader Shah could never defeat the Ottoman Empire's army of more than 50,000 men. He managed to defeat only small armies with 4-5 times more soldiers. Only once he faced equal armies and more than 50,000 armies, he nearly died and he fled the battle LOOL. Napoleon destroyed an empire with the Battle of Austerlitz, while Nader Shah was looking for a hole to escape in the face of large armies LOOOOL. Even in the Battle of Karnal, which is considered his brightest victory, he hisself was 160,000 and the Babur army was 80,000[4][5][6] He never mattered to large empires. The Ottoman Empire crushed Nader Shah as he fought both the Habsburgs and Russia at the same time. Nader is a joke for Napoleon.Napoleon>10x Nader Shah.

Fact. Prince Eugene of Savoy's name has been used to name four different combat vessels, of four different nations (nations often hostile to each other); namely, Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, Italy, and Germany.

[@michaelsinger4638]

The beginning of a legendary, and sadly all two little known by many, military career. The massacre that occurred after the battle was disgusting though.

[@northseapirate2313]

Yeah he didn’t go over it in detail but almost the entire population (probably around 10,000), including women and children, was massacred or enslaved

[@syed1431]

History channels never mention the acts commited by the generals and countries they make videos on. I guess not to break the aura of greatness they construct around these individuals and nations, but in truth none of them were great men.

[@johndoe-xv3yy]

Massacres were common throughout history, by all sides, life was held cheap.
