Kings and Generals animated historical animated documentary series on the Ottoman Wars continues with the first video in the mini-series on the Long Turkish War, as the Ottoman Empire and the alliance of European states lead by the Habsburg Monarchy and the Holy Roman Empire clash over the control of Hungary, Wallachia and Transylvania culminating at the battle of Calugareni, where prince of Wallachia Michael the Brave fought against the Ottoman grand vizier Koca Sinan Pash. Following the defeat at Lepanto and the death of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire is on the backfoot, but is still strong enough despite internal rebellions.

You can't help but laugh at the Ottomans and the Hapsburgs, who spent centuries on end fighting each other, only to lose both their empires whilst fighting side by side.
And they become ally on 1.WW
And Hungary was their buffer zone for decades :/
Tragic
Correction, it's Habsburgs********
Basically like Britain and France.
Finally a continuation of Ottoman series! I feared this series has been canceled, it's great you're back with it :)
I think they should remake some of the older videos from the Ottoman wars series, and also start it with the Battle of Maritsa river in 1371, since that battle essentially decided the fate of the Balkans and opened the way for the Ottomans to conquer large part of Europe. But yeah, I'm also glad the series continues
As did I but I’m glad that this series is back.
YESSIR
@@Maus_Indahaus On one hand you're right, but as Pole I'm obviously biased and want K&G to progress to the both battles of Khotyn, Wienna, Párkány etc. :D
@@macu679 Those will come, no worries about that one, but if you want to start from the beginning, you'll see that their earlier videos on Ottoman history are not on the same level as their current videos. BTW, there is a great video about Vienna and Khotin from a channel called Sand Rhoman history, or something like that. He's good, but not on the same level as Kings and Generals
As a Romanian native, I congratulate your work. It's a delight seeing in action battles I've only read in books. Great job.
I recommend the 5 episode epic on Michael the Brave from HistoryMarche as well. They went all out.
@@SaurianSavior already seen it
@علي ياسر Because united the three romanian principalities could emerge as a regional power that could coagulate all orthodox nations of Balkans and even more to Cossacks. And let's be fair, even in late middle ages, warriors of Balkans and Central Europe could be invincible if united under a single command.... So first Bulgarians had to be sacrificated, then Serbs and in the end Romanians....
@علي ياسر My friend ... The only agreements respected between romanian principalities the great power during ages, the only one's that were respected were the one's signed with the turks... Never the sultan asked for more tribute, our own cowards princeps ofered more for gaining suport for the throne against their own kin or brothers....

As a Turkish person living in Bucharest I think Romania is one of the most important and brave nation in whole Eastern Europe and did some great fights and tried their best against such a giant dominant force like Ottoman. Respect.
Thanks for covering my country's history! This battle is also very important to us and our culture.
Same feeling here man...

@@ohyeahyeah5873 must be Romania.
@@aaronpaul9188 yeah theirs is way better. It also seems like the maker of this video is being partial to the ottomans.
Though the Sipahi were a problem for Ottoman stability, a bigger threat were the Janissaries. The Janissary forces were already disgruntled with the Sultanate as far back as the waning years of Suleiman the Great's reign, when political intrigue led to the assassination of Suleiman's heir Sehadze Mustafa, by his father's bodyguards (who went full Emporer Aurelian on the poor kid), and the ascension of Selim II as crown prince. The underhanded manner in which Selim ascended made him look weak to Janissaries (and Mustafa was a proven leader), and led to tensions with Suleiman. Selim proved their suspicions, as he was an ineffectual hedonist who spent most of short reign in feasts and drinking parties with his cronies. After Selim's death in 1574, the Janissary leaders briefly reconciled with new Sultan Murad III, an unmistakably pious man compared to his father. But Murad's reign was an unhappy and calamitous one. Anatolia had seen a population boom under Suleiman and Selim, but the 1580s brought severe drought to Anatolia, causing mass displacement of agricultural workers to major cities, saturating labor markets and reducing wages. And then while all of this was happening, Turkey and the rest of Europe were inundated with cheap, high quality Spanish silver from the mines at Potosi in Spanish Peru, causing the debased Ottoman silver coinage to lose value drastically due to inflation. Unable to earn fair wages, Ottoman laborers became increasingly restive. More importantly the Janissaries forced Murad III to become a virtual prisoner of the Tokapi Palace, where he stayed constantly to prevent a Janissary backed rival taking control of the state. Another looming problem were the Jelali, part time militiamen specializing in musketry and who were mercenaries for the Porte or its regional officials, and now couldn't earn wages as either civilians or soldiers.
Makes sense. The Janissaries were armed slaves, I don't get why the sultan would trust them.
Sipahiler(Spahije),Yeničeriler(Janjičari)!
@@theawesomeman9821 Because as former Slaves they had every reason to be thankfull to the sultanate from releasing them from slavery and now made them his prestigious guards showered in gold. But also did not have the problem of belonging to a faction within the Ottoman world or court. Which is why Augustus had germanic bodyguards and the Varangians were a thing

Mikhail be like "We gonna do a feigned retreat... Accidentally"
He wasn't named Michael the Brave for nothing. The man was an absolute chad with huge balls. He was a descendent of the royal families of Moldova and Wallachia, also by his mother side he was related to the last roman family that ruled Constantinopole, the Cantacuzinos. Next episode will be how with his allies he overcomes the ottoman army at the bridge battle over the Danube, the battle of Giurgiu. It isnt mentioned in the video but when the wallachian army was pushing back the ottomans, Michael knew the advantage will be lost soon, so he did what Sinan Pasa did, he gathered his personal retinue and dived in the middle of the battle, cutting janissaries left and right. This acted as a morale boost for his soldiers as they pushed the ottomans even more.
He was a luckier version of Stephen the Great who had to struggle during the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror

Siege of Vienna 1683 💥
@@jayantkumar2314 1071 - 1453
Michael the Brave had a remarkably disciplined army. Attacking a superior enemy and then tying to pull off that tactical retreat with most other armies of the period would have ended with the force disintegrating into a panicking mob but his guys pulled it off.
His army was made mainly of mercenaries from Serbia, Albania, Székely troops and a contingent o infantry from the Prince of Transilvania. He understood that a national army made of peasants could not cope with modern war of that time so he made his army of paid professionals. His main problem was the money to finance such an army. When the money dried out he was forced to abandon his enterprise and go to Viena to ask for help from Emperor Rudolf.

What an epic battle this must have been. Michael the brave is a really well deserved earned title
Calugareni can be considered as the reboot of the Battle of Vaslui in 1475
Based
True
True
I do not agree with this because the Battle of Vaslui was avenged, but the Battle of Calugerani was not avenged, and there was even a greater defeat later.
@Nenenin Donu Vaslui was more damaging. The ottomans were younger, took more casualties, and could not take the losses as easily. Vaslui was more damaging than calugereni or giourgiu. Only the disaster at Ankara, and the 1683 siege of Vienna was more harmful to the Ottomans.
Romanians had great leaders in the middle ages: Stephen the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Iancu de Hunedoara, Mihai the brave, Mircea the elder
Iancu was not a Romanian leader. He was a Hungarian leader of Romanian origins.
Ah yes finally the Ottoman wars series is back!
YES!! Thank you I'm Romanian and we have so many fascinating battles, especially against the Ottomans, please do more!!
FINALLY. We need more videos about romania and its leaders: Stephan the Great, Vlad the Impaler, Mihai the Brave, Mircea the Elder, Iancu de Hunedoara etc.

@@futboltime12go learn history kid and stop spreading lies about romanians just because you are jealous.
I've heard a lot about Michael the Brave. He was an exceptional battle winner. He was a very fun to hear about. Shame what happened to him. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
@Steffan Blanco---He was assassinated.
@Steffan Blanco he got axed by a former ally. HistoryMarche has a 5 part series on him that’s worth a watch
My mother is Romanian she told me that there's a statue of him where she studied to be a doctor
@@darthveatay---Now that is nice. I wouldn't mind seeing that statue myself one day.
@@danielboggan2479---I saw that series. It was a good one.
The Ottomans are back! *drops everything to watch* My favourite series. Thank you Kings and Generals.
17:17 They literally did not even touch the abandoned cannons, lol "Sir, what about those cannons?" "We deal with them later. Our janissaries will mop the floor with the enemy troops. Let's rejoice in our victory!" --- Hours later --- "Sir, the enemy is advancing!" "What?" "They're back, pursuing our janissaries!" "WHAT?" "And... and they're manning their cannons we didn't touch!" "WHAAAT?!?"
Michael the Brave really deserved his name. Retreating at the right moment just to preserve the lives of his soldiers proves he wasn't only brave, he was smart and respectful of his unit too. That cannon situation was funny though, didn't know it happened 😁
Gotta respect the Ottoman war machine, taking casualties that would cause other armies to crumble but they didn't hear no bell.
Just wait till you find out that the Russians kick their ass so hard they never recovered
@Ahmet Sakızcı more than the russians themselves?
@@sidp5381 ottomans kicked Russian ass a lot more even destroyed their capital
@@sidp5381 LOL they outlasted the Russian Empire in the end
When I realized Michael the Brave was going to show up, I got so excited and felt well researched. Then to actually see him and watch him do his thing, remarkable. I do wonder if the troops that pursued Michaels army after the feigned retreat, did so because he did cause a great deal of atrocities against the Ottomans. Their hate for him was probably so strong, since the call to war against him raised such a large army.
The Ottomans did terrible things to Europe. They basically created Vlad the impaler.
@@ragnarlothbrok4281 Vlad fought for he's country
@@ragnarlothbrok4281 Ottomans were heroes that were trying civilise the backwards Pagan Europeans.
I actually love this series on the Long Turkish War, because one of the combatants in the war was an Englishman by the name of John Smith, and a few years later, he would go on to play a role in helping to establish the Jamestown Colony, in Virginia.
Where he and a certain Wesson became buddies 😁😁
For anyone else interested on the romanian side of things HistoryMarche's channel has a brilliant and very detailed series on Michael of Wallachia. Very recommended.
As Romanian I really appreciate this
Michael the Brave was really brave.
Not only him, but also all of his troops. I love bravery💙
That amazing expensive armor everyone saw on him on paintings... when he saw that his troops needed morale, he's take the damn thing off and charge in front of them. Hence how he got the nickname.
Glad to see the Ottoman series back! Every video from you (and W&W) is a knockout hit. Keep up the quality work!
Don't forget to check out our new fantasy/sci-fi channel: kzhead.info/sun/qL2podOke3V_iI0/bejne.html
Excellent video, I am truly thankful that you offer such great content for free. My only complaint is that you should have mentioned the fact that the majority of the orthodox rebels were Serbian, and that Koca Sinan Pasha organised the Burning of Saint Sava's relics in Belgrade as revenge. As Saint Sava is the most venerated Serbian saint, this event is seen as very important in Serbian history.
Also, it worth mentioning Baba Novac, which was a captain in Michael army, a big, bad serbian who fought until his death at 80 years against turks.
@@bogdan3907 Yeah, but I don't think they covered the parts of the war where he played a more significant role. If they do mention him, it will probably happen in one of the later videos in the series
Ottoman series involving their conflicts with other neighboring Turcoman Dynasties such as the Ak Koyunlu and Afsharids would be great topics to cover
there are videos about that
@@BartmanGS Theres not a single K&G production neither about Afsharids nor the Ak Koyunlu both were only briefly mentioned in unrelated war videos

Wow so nice, I am watching this channel for more than two years and I wanted to see some battles where my country Romania was involved because we had some very good military leaders in the past (like Butebista,Decebalus, Stephen the great ,Michael the brave and Antonescu) and now I had that moment and I was screaming of excitement 😜😜😜😁
Antonescunu nu a prea realizat nimic important ca si om militar, nu a castigat nicio victorie importanta
Romanian folklore recalls that during the retreat of the Ottomans over the Neajlov river, Sinan Pasha was thrown out of his horse by a Romanian infantryman into the river, losing his two last teeth in the process.
Probably romanian urban legend
@@Polo-rn8ly rural*
@@tepesobrejac4360 maybe in romanian language or english it is like that.. İn turkish it is "şehir efsanesi" and I directly translated it.
@@Polo-rn8ly The word "urban" refers, in both English and Romanian, to towns and cities, while "rural" refers to villages. As Romania has been throughout most of it's history a rural country, it's folklore was created in villages and as such they are rural. Urban legends on the other hand are newer in general.
The interesting thing is that two direct descendants of Michael the Brave are alive right now and live a simple life in Romania and few know about them.😁😁😁😁😁

good video i like this new series
HistoryMarche channel here on youtube covered also Michael The Brave story...was a huge audience for their channel , because not many know history from Balkans and what they faced for many centuries of ottoman occupation, but some brave men pick the sword and fought for their freedom in their lands...they tried ,with facts ...and strong leaders in Wallachia - Vlad The Impaler of Michael The Brave or Stephen The Great in Moldova , their battles to escape from Ottoman Empire must be known for history
