As a Maltese person you have no idea how happy I am to see this video. Thank you! Though I also think that us Maltese have not been given enough credit; ultimately there were only about 500 knights of the Order, the vast majority of the fighting was done by Maltese civilians turned mercaneries.

this video does not necessarily fairly reflect what we studied locally. It is said that Dragut was besieging Fort St Elmo from tigne point and that he died there....hence the name "il ponta ta dragut". We also study that the large army that was promised never actually made it and that the mere news of it scared the Ottomans to flee. Furthermore i cant get over why they keep referring to La Vallette by his middle name. They should have approached some Maltese historians for this video.

Great video! I'm Maltese and I studied history at the University of Malta, i'm now doing my Master Degree there. This is very well researched and your proncouciations of our cities and forts is very good, quite close to what they really are in Maltese! One thing however, on the map you place Dragut and his forces on Mount Sciberras with Pasha's forces. In reality Dragut was bombarding St Elmo from the opposite shore at Tigne. Today that area is nicnamed Dragut Point and in the following centuries the Order would consturct a small fort there to prevent the same thing Dragut did from happening again, thus not allowing the enemy to bombard St Elmo and Valletta from that position. In fact when the French invaded the island in 1798, Fort Tigne was the last fort to hold out after the surrender of the Order to the French forces.

Are you sure that's how it happened? Age of Empires 3 taught me the Ottomans broke ranks after a burly scotsman sent his men to light a signal fire. The Knights then threw flaming hoola hoops at the janissaries until they completely routed. The Ottomans only ever invaded the island to stop a world-spanning secret society from using the map they found in a Maltese cave to discover the fountain of youth in Florida. Then both the Knights and the Ottomans abandoned Malta to chase the fountain in the new world. That game was a wild ride.

Good question as it seems that except for Italian, French, and somewhat Spanish (Spain was an Empire then so very unlikely) mainlands couldn't be taken but Islands were wide open for Ottomans to take in. Also Venica was open but couldn't take it all, and Austria they came close like to Vienna but that's about it. Might have further north in Russia? But then Poland-Baltic (later to become Russian, Australian, then Prussia to Germany) would block it as well as Geography. Persia is possible but can't get all of it. Africa is possible but can't go too far (idk why but Morroco was the only one left) and likley stayed just coast and not further. Maldives is last possible but big if as it's very small.

The wells inside the forts were un poisoned. Had they taken the island they would have had a solid base to attack Italy. The same base that was used successfully to invade Italy four hundred years later.

Like Vienna, the siege of Malta was not as important in the grand strategic picture as western popular opinion believe. The Ottoman Empire had reached its borders of power projection. The empire would have extremely hard time holding those cities even it was successful in capturing, let alone expanding further.

Ask the 35000 dead Turks who's bones fertilise our soil if Malta exists 😅 Viva Malta 🇲🇹

How did the Ottomans fail to take Malta? Very interesting question!. I would answer the same way the Germans failed to conquer Malta in World War II. The tenacity and bravery of the Maltese solders and civilians played a huge part in defending the Maltese islands. Malta was the most bombed country in WWII. No wonder Malta was awarded the George Cross from Britain after the war! In case you’re wondering, I live abroad but have the honour to say I was born in Malta.

GOD bless the knights of ST. John!! Totally the real 💯 👌 deal!! Superior warriors!!

make one on Vienna too

In Turkey it is also said that Malta is the only place Suleiman the Magnificent wanted the conquer but couldn't. Even though I don't really think Ottomans thought Malta was so significant anyway. And about that crucified knights; I have heard Ottomans had some brutal executions against enemies who betray the agreements such as flaying or putting them on cannonfire or putting bandits on grappling hooks "Turkish: çengel cezası" on places people to see but never ever heard of crucifixion in Ottomans before, I guess that was a Christian way of our çengel.

I'M FROM MALTA I❤️🇲🇹✊🏼

“God blesses his island, and on the day of battle will know his own within the dead”-Some random knight Idk wasn’t there

This video remind me of Age of Empires 3

To all those who played the campaign in age of empires III

Suleiman, why did you okayed the knights? Also sad for Turgut Reis

Ottoman defeat was due to ignoring the suggestion of experienced commander Dragut / Turgut Reis.

@@ahmedkeremsayar no. Trade routes have changed. That is the biggest reason.

Can you make a video about Kazakh Khanate🇰🇿 ?

They where driven back by a Scottish Hospitaller of course.

dragut was a supreme chadlord. he got captured and ransomed by a huge amount and when freed he raided all of italy and send half of his share in the raids money to his captors and said I feel like I owe you this since I cost more than what was given.

I wish Ottoman Empire took all of the Mediterranean Islands (maybe not Spain though) but not the main lands especially Italy. Sorry if off, I'm not myself and idk if I can keep going.

Is this a computer generated voice? The mispronunciation of subsequently keeps taking me out of the narrative. This is not the first video where it is mispronounced.

I wondered this too, but I just think it is done by a (very good) non-native speaker as there are some unconventional word choices and grammatical constructions.

It doesn't snow in Malta in winter! And Elizabeth the First has nothing to do with the heroes of this war to be named here!

I think many of the ottoman soldiers died from the effect of the poisoned dead animals.

Malta is really an amazing country!

Long live Malta, long live Christendom, Deus Vult ❤️

no word about spanish and Juan Martínez de Olivencia in the siege...

Matter of time

🙂

The first thing that comes to my mind is the Ottomanball punched in the Sr Pelo video 😅

It certainly didn't help the Ottomans that the legendary Dragut had died.

The main reason for defeat in this siege was the loss of the best admiral the Ottoman had: Turgut ( Dragut ) Rais, then also Beylerbeyi of Tripoli. Even Barbarossa has admitted that "Turgut was better" than himself to his many commanders. Dragut was an extraordinary captain, tactician, commander and leader who was truly one of the elite stars of his time. Battle of Djerba, Battle of Preveza (it was his unit's maneuver to cut the ranks of the crusader fleet), Taking of Tripoli, Taking of Mahdia, Escape from Crusader Fleet at Djerba previously (moving ships by land to other side of harbor and escaping from Doria's numerous fleet whose goal was to defeat Dragut)... He was the mastermind behind all these naval events. Even Suleiman the Magnificent cautioned the pashas to "listen to what Turgut Rais says and do what he says" as he was the superior commander on Mediterranean. He disliked politics and unfortunatelly his time was riddled with political games which even prevented this magnificent admiral from becoming the head of the navy (kaptan-ı derya) as he deserved. The siege of Malta would also had been a Conquest had he arrived at the start of the battle and directed the events from the beginning. Unfortunatelly during his initial absence the battle council took a wrong approach of campaign which after Dragut arrived has pointed out that mistake. Dragut actually immediately saw that going for St. Elmo would be a waste of time and reseources - man power, what should have been done was to attack St. Angelo at the beginning as it was the main facility that housed the war effort of St. Johns and also their command. Unfortunatelly such a fine admiral was lost that day due to mistakes of others.
