another decent video, but man your maps are terrible, the borders and all + you called Maximillian "MaxiMANUAL" lol

I have to say that I'm really liking what you have to say about this guy in your video's. And about this series. Great job.
The 1st Battle of Mohacs made Hungary an Ottoman land, and the 2nd one reversed this situation. What a Mohacs…
@@papazataklaattiranimam---Nice one
Prince Eugene is one of the most underrated generals of history.
I completely agree with you on that Sulla2064 because the only thing I really know about him is the battles that he commanded alongside Marlborough in.
Entirely agree with this comment. All of ‘Marlborough’s Victories’ were actually because of Eugene, as the bulk of the allied army were supplied by the HRE. The only exception was Ramillies where he wasn’t present.
I don’t think so. Napoleon himself, who is oftentimes cited by many to be the greatest general of all time, largely credits Eugene as one of the greatest generals of all time. He is oftentimes ranked amongst European leaders such as the Great Conde, Alexander, Bonaparte, Suvorov, Marlborough, Caesar, and Frederick.
Totally agree . 1000% .
He is not underrated..among those who know history.... he was also pretty crazy like Alexander, often pushing himself where the fight was thickest, taking great personal risk....
Prince Eugene of Savoy was one of the greatest Field Marshals . The partnership of Eugene and Marlborough was the second greatest Bromance in history . The first was Augustus and Agrippa.
Perfect comparison, brother.
Chingis and subetai enters chat
@@qouavang3646 Chinggis Khaan and Bo'orchu to be exact. Please go read about him.
Agrippa was good but what did Octavian actually accomplish on the battlefield? He was much more politician than general.
Augustus was such a coward, such a pathetic man. Don't put him at the level of Eugène.
I don't want to be a party pooper with the subject of the video, but despite the importance of the arrival of Eugene of Savoy with his cavalry as support and his successes pushing back a more numerous cavalry; For me, the most decisive figure in the battle was Louis William the Margrave of Baden-Baden, because his resistance against the Sipahis and his flanking movement at the end of the battle precipitated the definitive defeat of the Ottomans, which is why for me it is the true MVP of the Second Battle of Mohacs.
True
Türkenlouis scored an impressive victory at Slankamen.
Yeah, while Eugene still played an important part of this battle, Louis William the Margrave was the leader of the Imperial forces here. Eugene only got full control of the Imperial army at Zenta after some intial setbacks.
Yeah the Margrave of Baden Baden is underrated. Also now that i think about it both Baden Baden and Eugene have been defeated by Villars in the War of Spanish Succession
ur not a party pooper, i bet Eugene would be happy to hear his cousin louis get the credit he deserves.
Prince Eugene is such an underrated commander. The guy does not get nearly the attention he deserves in the west.
I agree, having grown up with mostly british history books, one is almost led to belive; that the Duke of Marlbourough won the battle of Blenhem single-handed.
@@lokey85 Right? Being an American I was raised with the same type of patriotic propaganda driven misconceptions about literally every war/military action the US was ever involved with. Many Americans believe every conflict was won by Americans with a little bit of help from our allies.. hell we’re even led to believe we won stuff we obviously lost.. silly , fragile American egos have no room for the truth.😂
@@guaporeturns9472 That’s a very interesting point you make there. I remember going to an international school in Germany and an American informing me; that they did in fact not lose the war in Vietnam. I was originally somewhat perplexed by the statement but wondered if he knew why Saigon then was named Ho Chi Minh-city? But yes, the American way of teaching history is very narrow and short sighted unfortunately.
@@lokey85 Especially in the past. Many newer teachers/schools are trying to be a little more realistic in the teachings about history but many still believe these misconceptions. Luckily I am a lifelong history enthusiast so my children get a little broader interpretation of events than some do. My dad made and survived (obviously) all four jumps made by the 82nd Airborne division in WWII so I have a strong connection to American military history but I try not to let that connection affect my objectivity when dealing with history.
@@guaporeturns9472 My favourite is any American list of like "Top ten or 100 Generals of all time" and it's like half American. 🤣
In terms of map accuracy, movements and battle graphics, this channel is absolutely unmatched.
*First Battle of Mohacs* Ottomans: *That’s too easy!!” *Second Battle of Mohacs* Prince Eugene: *That’s too easy!!”
Lol, pretty much. This was the first time that the Ottomans were on the back foot against Europe. Speaks volumes of just how powerful the Ottoman Empire was for so long
@Le Austrian painter I see what you did with the name ... Very clever!! ; )
This is a small battle from one of the battles of the Great Turkish war, not comparable to the Great Battle of Mohaj in 1526 in which 175,000 Crusaders perished, including a king and 7 cardinals..and the Muslims in two battles were less than crusaders
@@tb2803 "175000", take your pills schizo, the ottocucks outnumbered the hungarians by 2 to 1 in the battle of mohacs
@@tb2803 In Battle of Mohacs 1526, Hungarian army was 25,000 soldier against 50-60,000 Ottomans. On the other hand, Ottomans lost 12 of 15 pitched battles of 1683-1699 War against numerically smaller Austiran Armies which shows that Ottoman Empire lagged behind Austria militarily in this time period. Ottomans were relatevily succesfull against Poland and Russia in this war though but against Austrian, Ottomans armies couldn't put forth any success.
This was probably the last Ottoman war which actually had a capable and competent Ottoman Empire in it Suleiman Pasa looks like a capable and bold commander. He made all the right moves and took daring initiative Too bad he was let down by his army and the empires finances
He did what he was capable of (conspiracies were lost from the palace of whoever wanted to be the second most powerful man in the empire) and Sultan failed to join a frustrated army. Little soldiers = God's mercy on everyone who took up arms to defend his land and his people.
Real disaster for Ottomans was Zenta, 1696. Sultan Mustafa the 2nd was eager to fight against Habsburgs and reclaim Hungary as his predecessors. His army was much more capable and competent but you know the rest of story... After Zenta, Belgrade was the Ottoman outer outpost against Habsburgs until independent kingdom of Serbia established in 1878.
Wow amazing how you set this battle up. I’ve read about this battle and Eugene of Savoy. Finally someone makes a video of this battle! Courageous and brilliant in battle Eugene is up there with all the great generals of the past. Awesome how he leads his men in the thick of battle and follows through
Thank you very much! I am working with House of History on this series. Make sure to check out his channel too, his Prussia series is a must see!
Prince Eugene a leader that most only know from the companion ship of the Bismarck story. Thank you for giving me who falls into this more understanding and pride in the name.
This series is super interesting. No one really covers this period, but it's such a pivotal part of history. The introduction of muskets into the front lines, but still having a significant amount of pikes and lancers, along with swords and shields still being in the equation. Also the idea that firearms weren't developed enough to be a clear better option than bows.
I don't actually see the Brilliance of Eugene. Seems like Louis William deserved more credit for noticing the cavalry on the left flank and defending it in haste until he broke it.
I absolutely love this Prince Eugene series. I check KZhead a few times each day to see if a new one has been released. Cannot wait to get to the Battle of Zenta.
Same here!
If u and King and generals collabed it would be the greatest collab in youtube history
Kings and generals would destroy this channels credibility.
Agreed my 2 favorite chanles
@@crazebenhow
@@crazeben not at all, hm is superior
Kings and generals are biased
Nice to see Eugene getting some love. Saw a great statue of him in Vienna. Gave me reason to research the man.
Something I love about these videos is everything looks like they took the time and detailed the maps well. For example the borders have a gradient to them, especially during war, to highlight that it's not a solid border
MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! We the Youtubian People, hereby demand MORE HistoryMarche!!! ⚔️🛡
This is an interesting episode about Prince Eugene of Savoy, and I can't wait to learn more about him and his battles.
That Background music at the end of this videos always makes my heart pump, your collaboration with Epic History of Napoleon's Marshals is incredible.
As usual, you give depth to battles that compliment the narration. The two bring better understanding to the tactics and strategies involved. Good job.
Sari means blond on turkish. He was Blond because many Pashas were Bosniak or Albanian descent including Sari Suleiman Pasha who was born in the Herzegovian Sanjak of the Bosnian Eyalet.
So he was Christian by birth, had been forcibly taken from his parents as a child, and forcibly converted to Islam?
@Le Austrian painter I wouldn't say that. Many of pashas were devshirme but ratio of Turk Pashas are close to 50% according to my estimation. For instance, famous Kara Mustafa Pasha was Turk and second important commander of Ottoman army in this battle Kara Mehmet Pasha was also Turk.
There were no bosniacks or albanians in that time...they were named much later..but whatever
@@zrikizrikic9126 Zriki read some Books. Being stupid or being a dumb Serbian or Croatian nationalist is not a fate but a choice.
@@lordnicholasbuzanthefearle2155 you read some books..Croatian Nation Is construct .same as bosniacks..or you say there was something there before even IF come later..you mix toponim and nationality..but who cares..you have vatican books wienna anals about it
Nice job, really well done, as usual for HistoryMarche.
Once again a great video! Prince Eugene and the Habsburg Monarchy finally get the military reputation they really deserve!
I recently watched a german documentary about Prince Eugene and now your video followed up. He apparently build a lot of nice castles besides being a brilliant army commander. Very nice video!
Excellent work as always!
Another great and informative episode. Thank you.
Great summary. Informative and enjoyable. Very clear.
Thank you for this effort, amazing video!!!
Prince Eugene of Savoy is the idol of Napoleon Bonaparte he studied many battles and tactics of the Prince! K
I am watching alot of similar channels but yours is my favorite by far !!! your series on hannibal are breathtaking, cheers !
as always i have enjoyed your video thanks! great work
First, thxs a lot for the series. Very good, entertaining, professionally edited and narrated videos. A few comments: We (in Hungary) simply call the battle as the Battle of Nagyharsány. Not referring to it a the 2nd battle of Mohács. And indeed it was fought at Nagyharsány. ---- BTW you do not need to separately pronounce the "y" after g, n or t in Hungarian. They are double consonants. "Gy" is simply pronounced similar to the beginning of "duel" in English. "Ny" is similar to "new" pronounced without saying a "u" sound.
Enjoying this new series! Good work.
It's always funny to see how, as the saying goes, history doesn't repeat itsellf, but rhymes, in Mohács this time. Great video, I'm hoping to see the continuation soon (and the Hannibal one too, hopefully). Cheers!
I concur with others: Map accuracy, movement and animations in this channel are superb! Great job! In this video, I loved the new illustration of the troops (i.e. the image of the Sipahi when they're first mentioned), and the highlight of the troops, with their names. It adds a lot to understanding the battle. Your attention to detail is outstanding! Thanks for this content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos and maps mentioned in this are truly awesome Sir
Excellent narrative as usual!
Prince Eugene is one of my favorite military figures. I appreciate this video on his early career.
Great content as always.
I would like to know more about Eugene's role at Blenheim. It's hard enough to find good material about Blenheim in any case. It's at least as interesting as Shiloh or the Bulge.
@@mitch8072 So your point is what; that I should not have posted my comment? And who do you mean by "we?" Are you the spokesman for the HistoryMarche public?
Marlborough and Eugene had a great and equal relationship but Eugene accepted Marlborough as the supreme Commander when they were on the battlefield. Marlborough always gave Euegene the command of a wing of the army and trusted him a lot. Usually Eugene assaulted one of the enemy's wings to force the enemy to send troops and weaken the center. I'm sure that you can find some detailed accounts in books on Eugene
Amazing, thanks for your work !
Outstanding work... thank you very much.
You guys do gr4eat work ... You guys do a great job.
History is fun from this perspective Thank you
Thank you. Fascinating.
History Marche always introducing excellent history coverage videos thanks
Amazing video as always ❤
I don't fully understand why this video is so themes around Eugene, when his impact on the battle was important, but not decisive. Both Louis of Baden Baden and the leader of the Bavarians were the MVPs in this battle. The "Türkenlouis", for example, also was a brilliant commander (he and Eugene were related from what I remember) and majority of the credit should go to the Bavarian troops here for stemming the battle with little support from the Duke
Very interesting series. Keep it up!
I can't imagine a more effective ad than is found in this video. Outstanding, as is your content.
What we see in such clear representations, the generals had to see from their generals' hill, and they had to give their commands without any modern technology, just by reporting runners and flag signals. And they had to be sure that this type of communication would not only work but also in a timely manner. Always amazing ! !
Good job. Thank you.
Prince Eugene of Savoy was indeed one of the greatest Generals of Late 17 th century and early 18 Th century Europe. He teamed up along with The Earl of Marlborough, to Rout the French army in March of the Danube . You only have to visit Vienna to see his Musuem and multiple monuments
Terrific video!
If my history lessons were like that I would have listened ! gratz on making me love history !
