    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 6 років тому +116

      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

      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

      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.

    the reason why the ottomans lost at Vienna was because the second army deployed by the leader of the first army revolted against the ottomans and didn't stop incoming Polish Troops. The siege leader knew that polish would send help so he gathered a big second force to inturrpt them he put a Crimean Prince to charge. But he revolted against the ottomans to gain independency in Crimea. He was executed later.

    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.

    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.

Without a working or travelling visa you can not go to another country and work in 2018. You have to PAY for this visa every year or every 3 years. So the 'dhimmi' status is stil active in todays world between other countrys. None muslims were giving 'dhimmi'status bc there were not citizens of the empire but just people who lived in these lands.

      So maybe i'm ignorant, but you're an idiot for pointing out the obvious as it was right there on display. At least i'm curious about it and willing to look into it. You telling me to shut up means i don't get to ask questions which thereafter means i can't cure my ignorance on the subject. Get a brain, or start using the one you have.

    My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your voice gave me cancer anyway.

    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.

    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.

    His Majesty the King of Sweden's letter:
    "I was captive in Poltava. This was a way of death for me, I was saved. Danger occurred more powerfully before Dnyester River; there was water before me, enemy behind me, and the sun sprewing out hells... 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.
    Sobieski would have just enough time to make his dynasty stable (his son was almost elected in our timeline) or king Leszczynski would take the throne. Leszczyński was famously good administrator of Loraine and Louis XV of France father-in-law.
    Austria would not mingle in Polish politics of the era which would be huge.
    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). It is quite possible that Prussia would loose in this timeline as it was close to fall in our.

    Vienna was the far logistical end of OE. Even if they theoritically take it they couldn't use it as a base of operation the same reason they couldn't use Belgrade or Buda as such, because Ottoman started preparing for a campaign the previous year through raising armies in Anatolia and Rum, cross the Balkans in spring before early summer river floods, do operations in summer / early autumn, and had to go back before late autumn floods.
    The scope of devastation meant that most of Hungary and Croatia simply couldn't upkeep their armies long term, and troops raised in Balkans were only secondary to the janissaries and spahis.

    If we won at Vienna (Beč, Beç), Austria (Nemce) will be defeated. I agree that we would not be able to move further into the continent, but instead we will invest heavily to the navy and try to conquer Italy, actually that was the main plan by Mehmet, the Conqueror at 1481. This will inevitably result in the endless Turco-Spanish War. One can never know the consequences of that war.

    If Austria was destroyed wouldn't the Austrian Hapsburgs simply move to the court of their cousins in Spain?

    Sad laugh of fate is it turned out that Commonwealth shouldn't help Habsburgs near Vienna. If Ottomans won then, IMO there were big chances that Russia and Austria (and Prussia, mostly Habsburg influenced) wouldn't have enough power to annex Poland hundred years later. The only nation that didn't accept annexes of Poland was Ottoman Empire (That was more against Russia and Austria, than toward Poland, but still). You don't make a country great with one foreign victory. Poland lost on it in wider perspective. Fake allies sometimes are worse than enemies.

    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
      @sovijus 6 років тому +6

      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
      @blitcut9712 6 років тому +7

      +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.

I could see the polish allying with france, and there being a massive war: France and Poland against Prussia, Russia, and Great Britain. The French and Poles would eventually win, but Poland would face ennourmous casualties even Europe would have never seen before.

    @LORDMEHMOODPASHA 6 років тому

    So I wish to say that while I do applaud both your academic level of research and your professional, unbiased view of the subject, (Deus Vulters, Deus Vulters EVERYWHERE!) there is a major flaw in this theory...and that is which siege you used for this "What if" scenario, this theory is applicable to the first siege of Vienna in 1529, not for the second in 1683.
    Now it's true that in both scenarios of Vienna being conquered in 1529 or 1683 would have given the Ottomans a new base from which to invade northern Italy, southern Germany and eastern Switzerland but that's where the similarities between the two end.
    I myself have said this for years "If the Ottomans had taken Vienna in 1529 the possible subsequent domino effect could have resulted in the Ottomans bordering their then new ally France, (Though this in itself becomes a new topic of consequences) and even an Austrian historian (Who's name I regrettably forgot and cannot find, a reinvestigation is required on my part) who lived in the late 1600s himself stated that "The silent victory in 1529 was far greater than the recent flamboyant one (1683).
    However this same scenario is astronomically improbable when applied to the 1683 siege and throughout the course of your video, you yourself unintentionally explain how this could not happen, even if the Ottomans had conquered Vienna in the absence of a relief force from the Poland, Vienna would have been as far as the Ottomans would have gotten, even for a pro "Team Ottoman" person such as myself, professionally the Ottomans reaching Bohemia in the 1680s-90s is wishful thinking as opposed to that being the case in the 1530s.
    As you yourself stated, the Ottoman Empire was in militaristic decline by the middle of the 17th century, thanks to the women of the harem ruling through weak Sultans, those weak Sultans not leading the army in person and now ruling the government as a mere figurehead rather than with an iron fist which lead to the Janissaries and Ülema preventing military advancement and deposing any Sultan who tried etc etc, and this factors in with a key fact that you forgot to mention which unravels the 1683 scenario:
    The Austrian military high command, Vienna falling in 1683 would not have meant the rest of Austria would have followed suit, again this would be applicable to 1529 because at that time Europe, militaristically behind, did not have a nation that could, by itself with no allies, field an army to match the Ottomans in an open field battle, (One might argue Austria or Spain but the fact that Charles V avoided every invitation/challenge by Süleyman I to an open battle, was nowhere to seen when the Ottomans marched on northern Hungary in the 1530s-60s and the real fighting between the Ottomans and Holy league took place in the Mediterranean via naval conflict instead speaks volumes) but 154 years later this was not the case, at this point Europe had already caught up to and surpassed the Ottomans militaristically and on the field of battle, The Battle of St. Gotthard/River Raab in 1664 had proven this to be true.
    The Austrians had the notable commanders of Prince Eugene Von Savoyen and Wilhelm Louis "Türkenlouis" of Baden-Baden (Both of which you never mentioned) at their disposal, had the Ottomans taken Vienna in 1683 these two would have most likely taken it back with relative ease and the following great Turkish War of 1683-1699 would have still occurred, initially between just the Ottomans and Austria this would mean at first the Ottomans would have only one front to focus all their forces on rather than dividing them on four as they did in real life but the poor Ottoman military leadership would still lead to problems/defeats on the field, the poor performances at the 2nd Battle of Mohács 1687 and disastrous defeats like at the Battle of Zenta 1697 would most likley still occur (Perhaps at diffrent locations and years in the scenario) and considering that in both real life and the scenario the Ottomans make the fatal logistical mistake of not securing the fortresses in the surrounding countryside of Vienna (And they would most likely repeat this mistake in Austria, Czech/Slovakia and Southern Germany if they somehow managed to go on the offensive following Vienna) the same applies to the Austrian Sieges of Buda 1686 and Belgrade 1688 and these subsequent victories by the 2 Austrian commanders would eventually embolden Venice to declare war for the first and only time on the Ottomans as they did in real life (2 fronts now) and inevitably, regardless of Austrian success, Russia would get involved (2 fronts if the Austrians are losing, 3 if winning).
    Ultimately in the scenario of Vienna being conquered the Ottomans still lose the war albeit with probably less territorial loss in Hungary in the following treaty as opposed to that of Karlowitz in 1699, Russia would probably take Podolia with Poland being absent, (This possibly leading to a war between the two countries) Venice would take Morea/Sparta only to lose it in 1715 just like in real life and so on.
    Additionally say the scenario somehow goes the way you envision it, this would drastically change the subsequent Wars with Russia for the next 200 years, in real life after the death of the two Austrian commanders the Austrian military and military high command proved to be nearly as weak and incompetent as their Ottoman counterparts with the following wars between the two powers seeing Ottoman victories and wars ending in stalemates with Belgrade usually being juggled back and forth, however these wars for the most part saw joint campaigns with Russians forcing the Ottomans on 2 fronts in Serbia and the Ukraine and while successful at matching the Austrians on the Serbian front, the Ukrainian front would see Russian victories.
    In the alternate scenario of Austria being knocked out of existence, the Ottomans can focus all of their forces on the Russian front (And that's IF the Battle of Pruth river in 1711 goes exactly the way it did in real life, because if the Ottoman Baltacı Mehmet Pasha had not made the important strategic mistake of signing the treaty with relatively easy terms for the Russians and with Peter the Great himself commanding the Russian army, had Baltacı Mehmet Pasha not accepted Peter's peace proposal and pursued to capture him as a prisoner instead, the course of history could have changed for without Peter, Russia would have hardly become an imperial power, and the future arch-enemy of the Ottoman State in the Balkans, the Black Sea basin and the Caucasus~ 'Alexander Mikaberidze) and then either of these scenarios drastically affect future Ottoman-Prussian relations, the future of Poland-Lithuania and Sweden as a northern European power.
    Ultimately in order for your scenario to work exactly to the tee, it would require the Austrians not having Eugene or Louis and for the Ottomans to have military leaders like those two instead of the idiot of Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Paşa and the average Köprülü vezirs that lead (And were eventually killed) leading the army, for said military leaders to secure every surrounding fortress in the countryside in Hungary, Germany and Czech/Slovakia, for Venice and Russia in addition to Poland not getting involved in the 1680s-90s, for Peter to be spared at Pruth in 1711, for Prussia and the Ottomans to develop hostilities, for France and the Ottomans to not develop hostilities, for Prussia to have interests soley focused on Ottoman holdings in Bohemia in the event of hostilities and have for some reason no designs on Polish territories, same goes for Russia in the event Peter lives and so many more events that quite frankly make it extremely improbable for something even remotely similar, let alone exactly like your scenario to come into fruition.
    Still that's not to say this video wasn't entertaining or wasn't well done and again thanks for being professional and unbiased in your presentation and not a Deus Vulter (Which 96% of UA-cam videos related to these topics seem to be full of) or Ottoman fan boy (Which I admittedly am one but as you can see, I don't allow that to blind me to unbiased truth or reasoning) and definitely more people like you are needed on the UA-cam scene and for that matter, the world.
