As someone who was born and raised in Vienna, I can only marvel at the accuracy and details of your map! All the villages around vienna, which you can see in close ups, are now districts, as the city grew. And yes, these districts still have the same names as the villages from 500 years ago, accuratly named in the video.

If the Habsburger wouldnt hide in Linz with more than 200 k soldiers and fought against the Sultan Suleiman they would loose for 100 percent. Suleiman attacked Vienna only to intimidate the Habsburger and lock them to a open field battle. After the ottomans couldnt find the hiding soldiers the Sultan wrote a message to Sharlken where he said come to Vienna to fight me like a man and don't hide but still the Habsburger didnt answer and kept hiding. If they dared to face him probably whole Europe would belong to the ottomans💀💀. That was just unlucky for the ottoman empire

AYO! The "Staggering" is back!!!

I have to admit. That's a nice face-saving move on Sultan Suleiman's front. If he cannot actually secure a victory, then make his citizens believed that he did achieve a victory.

Great content as usual! It would be interesting to see a video about Ottoman field battle tactics, particularly the "tabur cengi" wagon-fort tactic. We see a lot of them in sieges but it'd be cool to get some insight as to why they tended to be the ones doing the besieging.

Excellent content! 🙂 One more little correction: it is "Kärntnergate", from the Austrian state of "Kärnten" = "Carinthia". The gate is gone nowadays, but its street "Kärntnerstraße" still is the most opulent shopping street in the city center.

Man you really don't need to flex on other youtubers. We know you're top quality.

When you destroy a city especially a f...ing capital. you severy damage your enemy's reputation and economy. People start doubting your ability to rule them and give them safety.

How do you do that? Ferdinand is not stupid he is not gonna engage the Ottoman army. so Ottoman had to damage his reputation and economy. They had to show everyone (enemy and friends) that they are not to be fuck with. you can accomplish both of them by invading your enemy's land burning their city to ground (which means their economy ,security and their image) killing their farmers and taking their people as slaves to try to force your enemy into open battle. and if not people will see their king is not gonna protect them. Hungarian noble could see this and side with the stronger side which is the ottoman Also, the sultan had spies everywhere. He and his council probably the knew horrible condition of the city defenses . They also knew division inside the HRE. They probably had thought it would be easy.

I know someone might reply with "but what about Galileo Galilei?" Well his position was rejected not because "The Bible says so" but because the tools and the scienfic findings of the time couldn t fully support the heliocentrism (something that happened only a century later); at that time Church and science could accept it as an interesting model but not as a fact due to weak evidence

I was waiting for a long time that you would make a video of this siege, I even thought that you would do it before the second one, but I am glad that you have already uploaded this topic to the channel. On the other hand, I know that it is difficult to deal with the geopolitical maps of the time; but I see a serious error in the maps of the video (2:35), where you show the Hispanic Monarchy, Naples, Austria, the Milanese and the Netherlands as different territories, when by 1525 after the Battle of Pavia, all these territories were indisputably under the reign of Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire and first of Spain. Archduke Ferdinand was regent of the Austrian zone and it was not until the abdication of his brother in 1555 that he would become monarch of the Imperial zone; so it makes no sense either that you make almost no mention of Carlos I, Fernando being subordinate to him (although de facto he was the second who ruled in the conflict zone with the Turks). On the map all the above-mentioned territories should have appeared in light yellow, while Fernando's regency zone was left with the mustard he already has, to show that despite being part of the group, it was controlled by him (not pretty , but this is what Europe looked like in 1529). I don't know what the problem is with showing how surrounded France was in those times, by enemy territories. XD
