This was not a normal war. This was not a dispute between ruling classes arguing about trade or who owned what device on a coat of arms. Nor was it about a losing general handing over his sword and his troops receiving honors. This was a war of survival. Prince Eugene was fighting a brutal and relentless enemy that wanted to conquer and enslave all of Europe. The narrator failed to note that the Turks had besieged Vienna only a decade before, nearly taking the city before the Polish King Jan Sobiesky arrived to drive them off. In his rush, the Turkish commander left behind his personal collection of one thousand kidnapped German girls that he hoped to sell. Sometimes an "ancien regime" army had right on its side, and against the Ottomans, Tatars, and Arab pirates attacking Europe, all of them did.
@vinm3002 жыл бұрын
"Prince Eugene was fighting a brutal and relentless enemy that wanted to conquer and enslave all of Europe. " LOL The Habsburgs were 3rd rate and the Ottomans were worse. Louis XIV had a real army (100k well-equipped, uniformed and well led) The shift in power came after the Spanish were crushed at Rocroix 1643 by the French Duke of Conde. Louis XIV became king the same year (1643 - 1715) : he started a war of aggression against the whole of Europe, and never fought a battle on French soil. A Grand Alliance of English, Dutch, Habsburgs and German principalities. Those armies would have crushed the Ottomans, but were too busy fighting for gains. Louis XIV actually supported the Turks to deflect the Habsburgs from the Grand Alliance. The Ottomans were a minor power when Eugene defeated them, then went on to become the sick man of Europe. Propped up to stop Russia gaining access to the Med.

@richardmorin59673 жыл бұрын
@Абдульзефир Thank you for your reply. My impression is that part of Turkish success was that their enemies often acted alone. This enabled the Turks to pick off their victims one at a time. This was the same strategy used by their cousins, the Mongols. What saved Austria in the 1680's was the arrival of the Polish king, John Sobieski, and his army of Polish and German knights. The film said that the Habsburgs conquered Hungary which is untrue. They reclaimed Hungary which the Turks had taken from them in 1526. It is true that the Turks did take back Belgrade around 1730. The Turks had been stopped and pushed back in the sense that they never again were able to get as far as Austria and that the Turkish loss of Hungary turned out to be permanent. Turkey did remain a major threat to Europe for generations and the Balkan military situation remained changeable. As at the Battle of Lepanto, the Pope's creation of the Holy League showed that the Turks could be defeated if the threatened Christian states worked together. Prince Eugene's brilliance empowered the Austrians to defend their lands from the Turks. In the long run, it was the growing power of Austria and Russia, coupled with the mutual hatred of Sunni Turks and Shiite Iranians for each other, that eventually stemmed the Turkish aggression that had gone on for centuries.
@richardmorin59673 жыл бұрын
@Абдульзефир The Turkish and Mongol languages are related. The Habsburg family inherited Hungary in 1526. My point about how the Europeans did not stick together was to point out that they did not stick together. They allowed their neighbors to fall until their turn came. The Polish rescue of Vienna is not the stuff of romance. The surviving citizenry were literally on their last legs when Sobieski arrived. The history of Europe would witness the decline of three powers (the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, and Turkey) and the rise of three other powers ( Austria, Russia, and Prussia).

We owe Austria the first crippling blow to Ottoman Empire. Austria owes Eastern Europeans the resources-material and human-put to very good use into battering the Ottomans. For far too long European powers struggled into bitter minor wars between themselves, not taking advantage after the great naval battle of Lepanto. Prince Eugene of Savoy was the providential man of his day and age, the first to take it to the Ottomans. Then the Russians, Greeks, Serbians and Romanians moped up the last remnants of the Ottoman scourge. All due respect for our Bulgarian neighbours, but they literally waited the Russian and Romanian invasion of 1877 to be liberated.

@@fiachramaccana280 I agree entirely. Vendome was a very talented general who, sadly, fell foul of people like Saint-Simon. Therefore, he had a "bad press". To me the fascinating fact is that, as he was a legitimated Royal Duke, he was already senior to the Marshalate and to be named as a Marshal of France would be impossible. He, actually, twice asked Louis XIV if he could be made a Marshal, but, each time, Louis pointed out that, if that happened, it would, in fact, be a demotion. In the mid-17th Century, Conde had the same problem, except that he was already secure as a senior member of the Bourbon family. It is amazing how many authors describe Vendome as a Marshal of France, and some actually state the year when he received the (fictitious) honour.

Before their defeat at the hands of the Habsburgs in different battles, the Ottomans are considered one of the top, After their defeats, they are brought down further and further down the ranks. Even then, the internal conflict that brought the collapse of the Ottoman empire in the 20th Century is brought by external forces during the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Yeah... well the Ottoman decline started with themselves (pretty much as you see the US decline today) Back in day when the Ottomans were at their zenith, the places of power were manned by competent people. The decline set in when they replaced the competent people with relatives and friends of the family that weren't competent at all.... and then they looked up to what they saw in Europe and thought that maybe if they build a palace that was twice the size of the European ones in western style, that that would bring back a golden age..... it takes a little more then just a palace to do that XD

@@stephenl7048 what stijnvdv2 said. Ottoman peak power (I'm not talk only in military terms, but also economic development, technology level etc.) was at peak sometimes in later part of 16. century. Afterwards there was a period of stagnation and slow decline which wasn't visible until second siege of Vienna and loss of Hungary. Ottomans were in a very real threat of being pushed out of the Balkans, but Hapsburgs overextended and hadn't managed to capitalize their military victories fully for a number of reasons. By that time it was clear that Turkey, altough still a important regional power, wasn't on par with European powers, practically on all levels. And even before this events, in a first half of 17. century, there were signs of economic and technological stagnation, illegal feudalisation of nominally Sultans lands, local rebellions...all of which pointed toward weakening of Porta's authority and general rot inside the empire. Major Ottoman problem was that it was essentially a predatory ghazi state, as were various predecessor Turkish states since Manzikert, which worked in a particular military frame, but was completely unsuited for stable empire. Even the government lessons of Roman state which incorporated by the way of islamized Greeks were sidelined. It was lumbering, inefficient state that never achieved internal political and institutional stability needed for proper development, and as soon as military conquests stopped, the lack of revenues were shifted unto both unreasonable taxation of Muslim peasants and especially economic exploitation of Christian subjects by the feudal structure which spent a lot for it's social maintenance but wasn't of much value to the state in any meaningful way. Which prompted yet another cycle of social unrest and instability. Non of these things in itself were exclusive to the Ottoman empire, nor were fatal in themselves, but together they did make for a highly unstable and unadaptable state which would collapse in itself a hundred years earlier then it did without foreign, European support.

"Turkish expansion" is the wrong naming here btw. At that time, there was no nationalistic view, certainly not in the eyes of Ottoman sultans who deemed themselves as "Sultan of the Roman Empire". In fact, Ottoman dynasty fought against states controlled by Turks more than anything. Mamluks (Who were slave soldiers to Arabs at first, then became rulers and named the state as "ed-Devletü't Türkiye"), Safavids, Anatolian begliks, caused the slavization of Idil Bulgars, weakened Hungarian state more than anyone (Btw, at that time Hungarians called as Turks- see Holy Crown of Hungary inscriptions and you will see the text on Geza 1 part=Geza 1 faithful kralj of the land of the Turks" So called "Turkish expansion" somehow only caused the end of Turkic rule all around. Some of us see Turkey as the last state who gained his freedom from the clamp of Ottoman Dynasty, not the continuum of it.

"The Grand Strategy of the Hapsburg Empire" LOL isn't that an oxymoron. The Habsburgs were desperate for survival from day 1. They were always dependent on alliances. During the Grand Alliance against Louis XIV, Britain was sending them £3 million per year. In the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756, Britain realised the hopelessness of the Habsburgs, and allied with Prussia. The Habsburgs had to immediately look to France. Then under Joseph II, looked to Russia. The Habsburgs were never a power, and certainly never had a Grand strategy.

The polish charge is just a meme since they look glorious.

Interesting and well done, although, as various commenters have pointed out, the title is misleading. A thoroughly remarkable man, both for his profound military abilities and for his great love of beautiful things, especially his palaces. However, the video was an odd yoking of his life to scenes from that of Gulnus, who certainly deserves a video of her life - interesting, but of limited relationship to Eugen's activities. As the focus was on Eugen's battles with the Ottomans, the absence of any reference to his partnership with Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession is understandable, although that was a pairing of utmost importance. As for whether Eugen was gay, while the historical evidence is mixed, the probability is that he was . . . although what that has to do with his battles with the Turks is irrelevant. Regarding his acquisitiveness, that was a common trait of all military leaders from ancient history to the present, although Eugen might have been more successful than most. A great man nonetheless.

"The other day, I watched a documentary movie on the internet where the Ottoman Empire of Turkey and the Hapsburg Empire of Austria repeatedly fought and deceived each other at the end of the 17th centry. Both carried out a huge number of massacres. After that, the winner continues to spend his enormous loot for his dazzling luxury. You will be able to see it even now if you visit Vienna. You can see the same luxury in London and Paris. This was due to the huge wealth gained from buying and selling of slaves, around the same period as the above. After watching this movie, I cried when I suddenly remembered the words of Nichiren (13th century Japanese Buddhist monk who advocated the social reform based on the fundamental Buddhist principles) who said "Tresures on your person is more precious than the treasures in your warehouse. But treasures in your heart (compassion, kindness, thoughtfulness, etc.) is far more precious than that." If your heart is instilled with compassion, you cannot commit such atrocities. Same for both allies or foes. With Buddhism, such values had already begun to permeate the samurai society in Japan in the 13th century. Of-course not all of the rulers and politicians had such a mindset, but many must have been aware that continual pursuit of mindless fortune and luxury was a childish endeavour. Watching this film, I was able to remember the profound grasp of human nature and the compassion of this great monk. The treasures of the heart should be the true fortune of the mankind who are beginning to understand this universal value as the result of countless cruel mistakes made from the lack of empathy, not the advancement of economy and technology or the accumulation of wealth. By the way, personal treasures include good appearance, scholarship, culture, etc. The treasures of the warehouse also include social status and honours as well as the personal wealth."

@@bushbush8278 There actually is a huge difference. The Spanish, French, German, and other kingdoms within Christendom were mostly built through trade, partnership, and mutual agreements. War did break out between them, but was not usually due to the expansion of an empire. It was most often due to arguments of right to rule when a monarch died. There were of course exceptions, but it an exception is not the norm. Of course the empires did fight with each other though. However, the Ottoman Empire was built primarily by war and the sword. There are instances where it was done by peaceful means. But that was the exception rather than the norm. In most cases, these peaceful means were only when not having enough forces to chance a take over. All of the territories that the Empires of Christendom were fighting over against the Ottomans was territory that they had already stolen from Christendom. It is too common in contemporary history revisionism to pretend that the aggression of every single war was equal on both sides. But this is hardly ever the case. A more recent example: there is a reason why the Germans, in World War II, always fled toward the allies to surrender if they had a choice between them and the Russians. The Allies were known to be more compassionate than the Russians at that time.

Some were directed at the Muslims primarily but manifested criminal or even genocidal tendencies against non-Catholics encountered on the way.

When Catholic Slavs couldn't be oppressed on the "infidels" basis, racist theories of sub-humans were developed.

Trivia- the plans and order of battle of the Ottomans were transmitted to the Polish king by an Ottoman ally-Serban Cantacuzino, Prince of Wallachia. Basically, the Wallachian prince betrayed the Ottomans by not involving his own army into the siege and transmitying critical information to his Christian fellows. This is how Jan Sobieski knew how, where and when to attack the Ottoman camp which led to saving Vienna and Europe.

There were several battles that and leaders who, over time, crippled and eventually led to the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. For example, the Battle of Lepanto was critical in preserving much of Southern Europe from the Ottoman fleet's domination. But, in the end, the demise of the Ottoman Empire was the result of the Ottoman Empire's own policies. It never integrated conquered territories into a nationality, and never really tried to do so.

@@davidedbrooke9324 It was challenged, regularly. Asserting otherwise makes it seem like subjugated nations were okay with Ottoman rule. We were left to our own devices by the rulers of free Europe, who (like Eugene) were happy to just not be subjugated themselves. Peasant revolts happened, usually quashed, but eventually succeeded (although even then, not without games played by Austria-Hungary et al to keep the Ottomans present in Europe as long as possible). Eugene of Savoy is memorialized at Belgrade and at Senta, but he did not bring down Ottoman rule.

I don't think you payed attention to the parts about Prince Eugene being allowed to raise funds (war loans sold on the London Stock Exchange in particular), expanded wine production (more money to make), purchased arms, standardized equipment, reformed the military and training, multiple battle victories at Zenta, and the Siege of Belgrade. In short, he did stop, and even reversed, Ottoman advances in Europe by making the Habsburg Empire stronger and the Ottoman Empire weaker. A single stone can alter a river. A single snowflake can cause an avalanche.

@@12vscience I did pay attention to those efforts by Eugene, what I meant was this setback was not a contribution to the Fall of Ottomans, since they took back the lost territories in Battle of Gorcka in 1739. And remember that Ottomans lasted much longer than the Habsburgs did, it is also to be noted that the all the efforts by the prince were undone by his own royalty as they sold his entire possessions after his death including his estates. In terms of empire comparision Habsburg peak was only during Charles V, in contrast with Ottomans who dominated much of the world affairs for 400 years.

Forget about Gallopi, that was a disaster as was that the British defeat in Iraqi Yes, the Janissaries did their part in fomenting internal strife within the Empire., but what would you you expect from former Christian converts?
