      The seemingly unstoppable Turks were at the height of their powers; they inflicted a massive defeat on the combined imperial armies at the Battle of Mohacs in Hungary and overran the country in 1526.

      Yes, Sulieman didn't get defeated like the second siege of Vienna, he just have to withdraw due to the intense logistic problem, but the Indian Ocean war was indeed a significant failure, it blocked the opportunity for Ottomans to exert further influence on Asia, even in this case, the whole Southeast Asia has become Islamic under the influence of Ottomans, just imagine what if they are not stoped by the Portuguese. But this was more on the strategic level and the negative effects can only be reflected in a century or two, at that time, it seems just a minor tactical setback. So it's right to say that Ottomans were a juggernaut in the 15 16th century.😉

    In most turkic battles, seljucks, ottomans etc. involved, there is a main theme of faint retreat. It can be seen in most prominent battles...From mankizert to mohacs... They used feint retreat, to distrupt or to lessen the impact of heavy cavallary charge, to distrupt advancing lines so that gaps would occur where cavallary would infiltrate, flank or wear down and guide the main force to a distinctively selective area. In this case, hungarian main cavallary was guided to kill zone of artillary and janissary muskets. Ottoman historical records mention like this, how ever most western sources recorded these as initial hungarian successes. Actually this really shows how disciplined ottoman army was and how well did the job that under heavy pressure. The trick of the feint retreat is not to let enemy realize that the retreat is feint. It is exceptionally difficult to do it. Hannibal could do it Cannae with great success. To this day, hungarians thought that they had the upper hand. However, any one gone through Ottoman archives and investigate the battles, they could see how ottomans excelled this art of battle. Ottomans for years, one after another decisively crushed Christians armies. If you listened these channels, ottomans won these battles at the last round, after initial successes of christian armies. In the end of most of these battles Ottomans mostly annihilate the opposing forces. This can only be achieved if the enemy is encircled. Ottomans in most major battles could achieve this.

    Fun fact: I was in school in the good ol' 80's and when it came to learn about our loss at Mohács, we were told that Tomori charged (so far okay) in the center (apparently not) with the infantry (he definitely did not lead them, according to the video) and the Ottomans feigned retreat leading him and his troops in front of their cannons. Now, at 46, I have to face the fact that we actually charged at the cannons without any trickery from the Turks. Noice. It's an interesting feeling learning how you knew something fundamental wrong for almost 4 decades...

      I read in a book about Hungarian cavalry overall, that the initial cavalry charge itself was devastating for Turkish infantry, but after they turned around for round 2, the infantry chained the cannons together, making an obvious obstacle for the horses. And standing horsemen are much more easier targets.

      There is a war tactic used by the Turks throughout history. 'Turan tactic' or 'Wolf trap'. The vanguards stage a mock attack and retreat. Seeing this, the leaders attack with their entire army, but the real army has already passed behind them. Mohaç is the best war in which the Turks used this tactic. It would be unfair to both the Hungarians and the Turks to say that the Hungarian cavalry, which was the best in Europe at that time, attacked the cannons. I advise you not to reference only western sources in your sources.

Moreover descriprion of famous battles tha is presented at schools are always simplified. Additionaly I think historymarche sometimes uses translations o battle descriptions from Polish historians (because is easier to translate from Polish than from Hungarian - because some names are pronounced in Polish manner).

Or the cause that created a chain of events leading to a battle/war.
      Hence, why did the Hungarians not want to group up to combine forces? Or understanding each side's motivation for not taking the best course of action for more significant results. Really helps to start up a research paper or project for a particular topic

    The Battle of Mohacs is one of my most favorite battles like of all time! Why? Not only because the Ottoman Empire was at its peak during this time but it also because this battle is the ultimate result of the French's defeat at the Battle of Pavia in the Italian Wars as well. And when that happened, it led to the Franco-Ottoman alliance, which led to the military operations such as the Battle of Mohacs.
    Speaking of Franco-Ottoman alliance, will this channel featured a video about it in the future? I hope so because such a content is so rare to find on UA-cam.

      At its peak, but smaller than the Spanish lake, the Pacific Ocean, which is just one of the Spanish lakes. The Spanish Empire saved Europe from Islam. Spaniards contributed to the German defense at Vienna, but no one mentions the Spanish contribution because of anti-Spanish bias.
      I plan to learn Turkish, and like Turkey more than Gayreece because one of them is gay.

    In Mohács there's a memorial for the battle and for the hungarian heroes who died in the battle. Many historians and archeologist work there even these days to find and give a proper funeral to the fallen. These people estimate the losses to 14000 for the hungarian side and around some thousand to the ottomans.

      Regarding the Sultan's diary the Turks have buried 24 000 four days after the battle. At the end of September beginning of October a noble Hungarian lady has come to the battlefield with 400 peasant to find her son in law and buried the rest. We can just estimate it but 400 workers is a lot. I guess there were 30 000 christian casualties and possibly 5-10 000 Turks.

Furthermore the battle started four days before the main clash. 20 000 akindzi were sent to harass the Hungarians until the main army arrives. Sunday-Monday-Tuesday then the main battle on Wednesday. During these days there were clashes practically everywhere on the area which is 60 km2 big. So mass graves could be anywhere.

    THE TURKS AND THE WEST. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot."
    Halman, T. and Warner, J., 2007. Rapture and revolution. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, Crescent Hill Publications, p.9.
    During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , understanding the Turks ' military organization , given the credit for the greatest empire since antiquity , became a major European preoccupation .
    Speake, J., n.d. Literature of travel and exploration. p.891.
    By the middle of the 16th century, the Turks arguably possessed the greatest empire in the world.
    A History of the Middle East Paperback - March 15, 2006 by Saul S. Friedman (Author) p.181
    The Turks too , the great warriors of the steppes , were almost haughty in the assumption that they inherited the jihad fighting spirit of the tradition and carried it half - way into Europe .

    The weather conditions are not mentioned in the video but they could have influenced the entire battle. 29 August 1526 started as a very hot day. During noon, there was no wind and the heat was extreme on the battlefield. The leaders of the army were humans and one may tend to make quick and perhaps not well-grounded decisions in such circumstances just not to remain standing on the field. However, at the end of the battle, a storm broke out. Heavy wind, rainfall and half-darkness made the escape of the fragmented Hungarian army extremely difficult and such weather conditions made the catastrophe more serious.

    The number of regular professional paid soldiers ( Kapıkulu ) employed by the High Porte throughout the Ottoman Empire did not exceed 15 - 16,000 men in the first third of the 16th century.[30] The Ottomans obtained most of the arquebuses for their janissary army from Hungarian and Venetian gunsmiths. This phenomenon was so widespread and severe, that in 1525 the Hungarian Parliament had to pass a law against the export of Hungarian-made arquebuses for the Ottoman Empire.[32]
