[@evanaskew6652]

So Poland saves Austria from conquest and a century later Austria takes part in 2 of the 3 partitions of Poland between Russia,Prussia and Austria. How trustworthy.

[@evanaskew6652]

was talking about the partitions of Poland that Austria took part in along with Prussia and Russia in the 18th century. They occurred in 1772, 1793 and 1795. Austria took part in the first and the third. But you are right. Just as in the twentieth century, Poland could not defend itself from the degenerate absolutists of those three European states. What kind of constitutional monarchy has an elected assembly that only allows laws to be passed with a 100% vote like 18th century Poland did?

polands heroic aid at Vienna had nothing to do with their love or good relationship with Austria, it was simply the best chance to stop the ottoman advance especially since viennas fall would mean the Commonwealth would be the next that had to face the wrath of the Turks. Also the Poles that were in Austrian territory had it far better than those in Prussian/Russian territories

[@jonasabrams7526]

I think a more interesting scenario would be what is the Turks won at Vienna in 1529 under Suleiman, in my opinion its overlooked far too much.

[@sleros8646]

It would be a complete disaster for Europe as the Ottoman Empire was not facing the internal issues they faced in 1683. Some claim that Süleyman wanted to make Vienna a military base and attack deep in Europe from there, not starting walking from İstanbul

[@erge24]

[@schattenfaust]

Suleiman wasnt intended to win in 1529 he just wanna keep the army busy because of the internal strife which messed up the ottoman sultans force them to always declaring war on somebody just like todays usa.

[@squamish4244]

It would have been possible, but very unlikely. The Ottomans were operating at the very end of the logistical capacity of 16th Century armies, with many dangers along the way. Even preparing the previous fall, as Suleiman did in a later attempted siege, did not help, as his army was fatally delayed by fanatical resistance. It's easy to forget that Suleiman faced a very powerful adversary in the form of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who ruled much of Europe as well as vast territories in the New World. He actually ruled more territory than Suleiman. Charles's authority was less solid and he was beset by many enemies, but he was a truly redoubtable foe for Suleiman. Christian armies were just as powerful as Ottoman ones if they possessed numerical equality. Vienna, which was then a rather small city and not the metropolis it became later, would have taken years to become a new base of power, and where was Sulieman going to get his new recruits if the lands to the east were still in a constant state of upheaval? In the meantime, the fall of Vienna would almost certainly have triggered a massive reaction from Charles, from the German princes, England and more. And possibly even France, which despite its alliance with the Ottomans, might act differently if the latter was on its doorstep. Suleiman would have had to face a huge united front of enemies on the battlefield to the west, and with more enemies to the east.

If Mustafa had been king, everything would have changed. He told his father that "we should not care east (Persians), we should only concentrate on Europe" and Mustafa's main aim would have been Roma(Catholic church) and to do this, he immediately conquer Vienna and than Owing to strong land army and navy, Roma would have been easy to conquer. All army would have respected to Mustafa and became full motivated if Mustafa had been king. To answer this question, within 3 years after Mustafa's sultanate, Vienna would have been conquered and then within 8 years, Roma would have been Turkish city. If Mustafa had taken control more than 15 years, probably next target would have been France and Germany(Prussia). and if he had taken control more than 20 years, last target would have been respectively Spain and British. He would have chosen to set up balance with Russia. But ofcourse Spain and British would have been hard because he would have gotten old after 20 years. But his child probably would have been educated well and total domination of Europe would have occured in his children saltanate.

Sobieski actually considered allying himself with the Ottoman Empire to recover Silesia from Habsburgs, so this timeline isn't that unlike. However, I don't think that the fall of Vienna would mean that the entire domain of Austrian Habsburgs would fall into Ottoman hands. And in your timeline Poland-Lithuania simply disappears (as they did in ours), but this seems unlikely. Not only because Austria participated in the partitions of Poland, and now it was out of the equation, but also because Ottomans, now being a bit stronger, wouldn't allow it, fearing the rise of power of Russia and Prussia. Also, Czech Republic was not a thing until 1993, so I don't understand why you name it in 1600s.

Gibbons writes " It can not be argued that the Ottomans were the first nation in the new age to use the principle of religious freedom as fundamental idea in establishing their state ". Jean Bodin(1520-96)founder of European state laws,recommended to the King of France that he take the ruling of the Ottoman State as an example. He said that Padishah(Ottoman Ruler) treated the Orthodox,the Catholics and Jews as equal to Muslims and protected them all. Chenier of Geneva said in 1717: " The Turks have a very wide perspective of religion and show great tolerance" No one was punished for their religious beliefs,except for those who deliberatly insulted Islam.The few priest punished were not charged with religious offences,but with treason. Marshall Von Moltke found this source of this tolerance towards Christians that reason for this could only be their solid and strong belief in Islam. The violence and aggression between rival Christians(Catholics and Orthodox Christians)sects in those years is recorded in their own books. After Viennas defeat,The Venetians invaded Sakiz for a short time and Mora for quite a long time. They caused so much violence that when the Ottomans resumed control,the Greeks greeted them with songs and celebration. The Ottomans also collected The Jizya from the people of the book in return for their exemption from military service and for protection Christians soldiers did not have to pay this tax.Soldiers from southern Romania,presented for service to the Ottomans in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries became very important part of army. Many non Muslims lived in the Empire ,especially in port cities. The state protected them and gave them complete freedom to conduct business,visit religious places,or just tour the country. V Morrin of Rokebey wrote that he went to Istanbul in 1794,when he was 22 years old,and had roamed freely among the Turks and found them very helpful. Ottomans respected the art of ancient civilizations.The mosaics in Ayasofia(Aya sofya) the number most famous mosques,were not touched from 1453 until 1922. Out of respect for Christians feelings,the mosaics were painted over. Orientalists,basing themselves on the twentieth century values have problem with dhimmi status of non Muslims Ottoman subjects. However they are gravely mistaken. I have mentioned the vast rights given to them in theory and practice.

Putting aside that an Ottoman invasion of Bohemia is unlikely, and fundamentally misses the reasons why the Ottomans wanted Vienna to begin with, I'd like to point out that it is unlikely that the King of Prussia would have done as you say that he did. The reason why frederick ii attacked Austria and entered Bohemia when he did was because he recognised the severity and instability of the Austrian succession crisis at the time. Furthermore, in this AT, the Ottomans would not only have a larger manpower reserve to call upon in comparison to the Austrians, but would also not be dealing with internal and external conflicts, and would be allied with France, so it's unlikely that the King of Prussia would suddenly declare war on the most powerful empire in the world with no allies and absolutely no guarantee that he's going to win. Were he to do so, I simply cannot see him winning this, no matter how competent he is as a general. The Ottomans at this time would be able to call upon several armies tens, potentially even hundreds of thousands strong, and yes, whilst numbers aren't everything, they would need to get lucky only once, the Prussians would need to get lucky every single time.

Water claimed to suffocate me, enemy claimed to cut me into pieces and the sun claimed to melt me; I was again saved. However I am a captive today, I am the captive of the Turks. They did me what the iron, heat and water could not do, and they captivated me. Merely there is no chain on my leg, I am not in a prison; I can do whatever I want... However this time I am the captive of tenderness, nobility and kindness. Turks embrace me with this diamond affection. I want you to know how sweet is to live among a nation that is this much generous, noble and kind as an independent slave." Charles XII, was the King of Sweden from 1697 to 1718. He belonged to the House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, a branch line of the House of Wittelsbach. Charles was the only surviving son of Charles XI and Ulrika Eleonora the Elder. Charles' subsequent march on Moscow met with initial success as victory followed victory, the most significant of which was the Battle of Holowczyn where the smaller Swedish army routed a Russian army twice the size. The campaign ended with disaster when the Swedish army suffered heavy losses to a Russian force more than twice its size at Poltava. Charles had been incapacitated by a wound prior to the battle, rendering him unable to take command. The defeat was followed by the Surrender at Perevolochna. Charles spent the following years in exile in the Ottoman Empire.

There would also probably be no partitions of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Commonwealth was also in a strong ally of the France to the end of XVII century. Electing any other monarch than August of Saxony would change many things, keeping the aliance intact. Commonwealth would have enough strenght to bring about reforms that were proposed by Sobieski and Leszczyński. It would also take part in war against Prussia, probably reconquering some of the territory lost in second half of XVII century (quite a fresh loss).

The Turks also treated the peoples under them (at least in Europe ) like cattle, beating them with a whip when they misbehave, take almost every from them including children as I said. If they were respectful why were revolutions so violent and common? The Ottoman Empire was a terrible state based on a shitty religion and doomed to fail, the fact that they were as powerful as they were for such a long period of time is all because of luck and invading places that were very weak when the ottomans attacked and they failure again and again by established European powers and the holy league proves it, their fall was inevitable turkey will never bring back the empire because it’s was an empire because of luck, luck that can’t exist in the 21 century.

One aspect of the Ottoman victory scenario you overlooked is the role of the Holy Roman Emperor. As you know, the Habsburgs of Austria were traditionally elected emperor of the German states in the Holy Roman Empire. Louis XIV knew that they, more so than the Prussians at this point, were his main competition for control over the German lands. Louis was related by blood to the Habsburgs and he knew that if Vienna fell to the Turks and the Habsburgs were removed as Emperors, the German princes would most likely look to him for protection. If Vienna had fallen, there was a very good chance that Louis would have been elected Holy Roman Emperor.

The Prussians may be strong, but attacking a fort is way harder than defending it, especially if the ottomans can bring reinforcements from the southern part of Austria constantly. They would have placed an army enough to withstand attacks, and allow for a possible Austrian ruler that was loyal to the sultan.

I think you're overestimating the damage loosing Vienna would cause the Hapsburgs tbh, they almost certainly wouldn't surrender all their land to the Ottomans just because of the defeat and Vienna would most likely have been retaken soon due to the Ottomans supply lines being way too overstretched at this point. Even the effect this would have on the Hapsburg might not be as bad as you might think as well. In fact an Ottoman incursion into the heartland of the Holy Roman Empire could've easily been used as an excuse for the Hapsburg emperors to push for greater unification and help them reestablish control over the otherwise fractured HRE.

[@sovijus]

Oh look someone with actual knowledge on the subject. The worst thing that would have happened is Vienna being sacked. Ottomans still would have lost the war probably, since their army was in the middle of hostile land with supply lines pretty much cut off as they didn't even bother to take castles on the way to Vienna. The significance of this battle is so overhyped... at the end of 17th century Europe was in no danger of being conquered by Ottomans, the quality of their army was already far below most European armies.

[@blitcut9712]

+sovijus Yea, at most it would've allowed the Ottomans to maintain control over Hungary for a longer time. At least the video does acknowledge that the Ottomans wouldn't have conquered Europe and would still have started declining unlike so many others who seemingly believed it would've spelled the end of Europe. Another part that is seriously exaggerated in the battle is the importance of the cavalry charge (not in small part due to a certain song), at the time the charge was made the Ottomans were already on their last legs, if the hussars wouldn't have done it the German troops (who seemingly never get mentioned despite making up the bulk of the army) would've finished them instead, as they were preparing to do.

MyVanir Vladimir the Great chose to unite his people under one religion and looked at all the major religions of the time to base his choice upon. My point of reference begins here, for what if he chose catholicism as his pick, as he did consider it. Another video could be if Islam was chosen as well. Both fascinating on the grand scheme of history. My pick for catholicism would be more interesting to me for the implications throughout mainland European history and the assimilation of a more European culture into the Russian state. No matter the distance the church would accept a land adopting their faith and send missionaries for education for the good of the church as was evident in all adopted regions far and away. Their neighbors were already being influenced and in portion accepted within the slavic territories bordering the region. The russian state as catholic would have held bigger diplomatic relations with other regions, which also would have been used in their wars with the Ottomans throughout history. This would also lead to greater relationships in monarchy ties due to their people being able to marry foreigners, since in history those foreigners looking to marry into the Russian monarchy had to convert to orthodoxy which left the choices rather low and at times leaving the Russians mainly to the Russians. Russian princesses would no longer be held to only Orthodox marriages due to this and could intermarry into the monarchies of Europe. After the napoleonic war, Russia was the excitement of Europe, this alone could have changed the monarchies there after. The entire Russian history could be examined and that is the great thing about its possibility.

From Louis XIV to Napoleon, France was the dominant and most powerfull country of Europe and arguably the world. It had the best armies and always grew to take new lands that still are part of its territory today. It always needed coalitions to fight France as none country could attack the French on its own, England/Britain waged a lot of coalition for that reason. The reason why France allies with the Ottomans was because in 16th and 17th centuries, it was surrounded by Hasburg territories on all sides (Spain, Low Countries, East border etc). And the Hasburg were the arch enemy of France at this time, even more than England. With this alliance with the Ottomans, the French could also surround Austria. Prussia was not a problem until 1870. Before that, it was a second class nation, less important and strong than France, Spain, Britain, Russia. No colonies etc...

The Problem is that Bohemia was like the yugoslavs not very interesting for the Russians. They was more like they want dominate the east slavs, cause the languages are more familiar. In fact the pansalvic idea was more an 20. century thought and was in this time not so popular. Alone that the most Czars wasn't russian or slawic in this time, they feeled more like Moscow was the third rom and have to fight for the orthodoc christianity. Nationalismis was far later.

After fall of vienna, maybe within the 50 years, italian peninsula would fall too. And also rome. Catholic church would save its authonomy still. And thus third rome would success to unify the east and west empire again. Mehmet the conqueror, who knows greek and latin language had have such an intention a few centuries ago.

What if Turks won? I think you mean Ottomans, since Ottoman Empire was multicultural empire and had Turks, Albanians, Bosnians etc., not just Turks.

[@lsquad]

DRMZ Hax Saying Ottomans are only Turkish is same like saying Nato is only USA. It had other nations and yes Turks were a majority.

[@aliemreazgn3634]

Ottoman Empire is a Turkish empire? built by Turks? now you're trying to steal Turks' history wtf?

[@normlordhackers4378]

The other name of the Ottoman Empire is the Turkish Empire. The Turks established and directed the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman dynasty is Turkish.

[@lsquad]

The Perpea Games No one's trying to steal Turkish history. Ottomans had a Turkish dynasty yes, but it is wrong to classify Ottomans as just Turks. There were 36 Grand viziers of Albanian origin, Cypryliu family that fought 1683-90 war was Albanian, Cezar Pasha who protected Jerusalem against Napoleon was Bosnian etc. Ottoman may be 90% Turkish but not just Turkish. USSR wasn't just Russian even thought Russians were the majority.

[@lsquad]

Norm Lord Hackers Yes they established, yes the ruling dynasty was Turkish, but no, the other name of Ottomans wasn't Turkish Empire. What alphabet do Turks use today? Latin! What did Ottomans? The Latin alphabet got established in 1924 by Ataturk. So before the Turkey country, Ottomans were a multicultural emprie and giving 100% of credibilty to Turks is so wrong!!!

I wonder how Poland would survive with the partitions cuz Austria wasn’t existing Turkey was indeed against the particion of Poland and prussia and russia being unfriendly to each other even if they tried after the first partition Poland made many revolts fixing the country so without Austria and with the help of the french they could destroy prussia with france and take parts of russia and Czech and slovakia from ottomans also helping the hungarian reindependence

You are very good at this and have a nice voice for the job. Your conclusions are quite logical and would probably even have happened in the most cases. Though it is alternative history I'd say most predictions are very accurate. Keep up the good work. As you've covered quite much already it's hard to suggest more, but what if Switzerland, Spain and Sweden hadn't been neutral during WW2? Or WW1? Best regards

[@66wallace66]

You missed one point. If they would succeed the next target was Rome. With the moral boost and treasures of Wien that would be possible. They took a few castles of Italy prior to this battle. You skipped lots of decades there. Prussia founded in 1701. This event was at the 1500s. Ottoman decline date starts at 1683. add: Germany was not a target. The main aim of this assault was elimination of Austria. So they would not go further (maybe a bit). However Italy was always a target for a century. So they would focus on Italy. France was ally, K of Prussia was not existed.

[@bigbo1764]

Even if the Turks somehow managed to overcome the supply issues of Vienna, it’s likely they couldn’t go any further as the previously mentioned supply issues were terrible due to the rise of nationalism in the balkans and constant raiding of supply trains, and the defeat of the Austrians would probably mark the beginning of full European opposition to the Ottomans instead of just the Russians and Austrians of our timeline, yes the British hate the French and vise versa, but what they hate more is the potential threat of foreign Islamic religion and culture in western and Central Europe. This timeline would probably be the exact same as our timeline except for some minor changes like the Crimean war, which would probably see less support from the Western Europeans to the ottomans. The war of succession probably wouldn’t see much of a different result, Louis the 14th was already dead and his heir was pretty incompetent and was a child, and france’s economy was unstable and was only afloat because of Louis the 14th’s expert management of taxes and centralization of the government, which would be practically reversed after his death.

You forget that if Vienna fell there would be no Great Turkish War and Mehmed IV would not be deposed in 1687. There would be no Karlowitz and Russia could not take over Turkey easily
