Good job.

The Ottoman Empire was a good example of a declining Empire from 1800s
+Sanath Nanda Kumar Rather from 1700s
Count Mikhail Loris-Melikov was the hero of the Caucasus campaign of this war. He was an Armenian noble, and the front lines in the Caucasus were comprised entirely of Armenians. The Congress of Berlin decided to ignore the Armenians and not grant them the independence they fought for, unlike how they did for the Balkan states. Had the great powers not ignored the Armenian Question, the Armenian Genocide would have never happened.
I'm British and I'm really fucking annoyed that the British government at the time was too scared that Russia would gain too much power to let them take Constantinople and allow for more local rule in the Balkans. The Crimean War and British support of the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War were the same bullshit. Should have sent the British fleet to help conquer Constantinople.
This is wrong. Russia broke the treaty of San Stephano. That's why there was the congress of Berlin
This is wrong. Russia broke the treaty of San Stephano. That's why there was the congress of Berlin
this has nothing to do with Religion Britain didnt wanted the russian to controll the bosphorus straights and gain much bigger inphluence

UK develop a foreign policy relationship with Saudi Arabia before WW1 to target the Ottoman Empire's downfall while being anti-Russia at the same time i.e. refer to "The Great Game".
UK foreign policy was adopted by the US after WW2.
Trump wanted the US to break away from UK foreign policy, hence a foreign policy conflict with UK. Increase US oil production was US long term goal to break away from one aspect from UK foreign policy. IF Russia is wise, they should help the US to break away from UK foreign policy.
Vietnam war was US foreign policy support for French interest i.e. France invited US into South Vietnam.
Without the French foreign policy factor, US is developing a warmer relationship with Vietnam.
Two problems was due to US supporting European "old world" foreign policies. The founders of US has warned to not get involve with "old world" foreign policies.
It it weren't for the British, the Turkish people would now be speaking Russian. It's weird to see how single decisions can change the entire course of history.
***** Ataturk wasn't a superhero. He wouldn't have stopped the Russians.
***** None of the Western powers wanted to conquer Anatolia. It was in their best interests to see a stable Turkey on the edge of Europe. Otherwise a power vacuum would have emerged that Russia would have tried to fill.
***** It was a temporary occupation. Just like Germany after WWII.
+Sloth from The Goonies Then why we had to fight to kick them out? And I don't think Greeks and Armenians were temporarily there nor the French in the south.
Fuckin' idiot, try to keep your mouth shut as long as you have an idea about what you're talking about.
***** Constantinople is a key geopolitical area, control over the narrow entrance into the Black Sea made the Ottomans extremely wealthy. Losing that would have severely weakened them.
In Bulgaria this is considered to be our war of Liberty. Great video though!
Interesting, always cool to learn about other countries' histories.
Greetings from America.
Gabriel Karalov And you gained your liberation BECAUSE of Russia, but now your government betrayed us by joining NATO and letting NATO planes bomb innocent Serbian civilians of Belgrade. How shameful.
LeninTrotskyUSSR STFU YOU COMMIE BULGARIANS DONT LIKE COMMUNISM SO THAT's WHY ''we betreyed you'' we never want to be 5th colony of USSR and when the dictator Todor Zhivkov resign we fast moved to democracy and joined NATO and EU
Personally, I was totally against NATO's "peacekeeping operations" in Yugoslavia. Though I have to mention that Bulgaria wasn't in the coalition against Serbia.
LeninTrotskyUSSR If Russia haven't turned into USSR we would still be allies. But in 1946( 2 years after you occupied us) you divided our nation and created the "Macedonian" one and there were even plans for Thracian and Dobrudjan ones. Sorry but we don't want to be allies with communist countries.
Very informative :) I really like it. You and Tigerstar are definitely the best history-mappers!
Agreed

I wish Russia had liberated Constantinople! :(
And WW2...
You wish!
Oh so the allies wanted the war? You must be pretty stupid, Then why did hitler prepare for war as soon as he got power?
BestBrickFim It was an Anti-German alliance, nothing to do with the USSR.
BestBrickFim
If the allies were looking for reasons to declare war, then they would've done it way before Hitler managed to get to Poland. Why didn't they do it when Hitler reinforced the Rhineland? Or when he annexed Austria, against the Treaty of Versailles?
Fun fact. The British avoided the russians from conquering Constantinople/Istanbul for years but in ww1 the British offeret russia constantinople.
Surely the British could have owned Turkey completely. The west should have annexed the Middle East completely and changed this land into a prosperous freedom loving regions, instead of handing it all back to the insane monsters of islam.
InYourFace they couldnt win from the turks their power is their navy u need shock cavalry {eastern hussars, cossacks} and troops who got moral. britain wouldnt have enough troops anyway most of them were in india
InYourFace Britain did eventually take control of many middle eastern Ottoman territories after WWI. But it ultimately led to many of the problems we see there today.
Way to go Britain, prevent the liberation of Constantinople. :/
You should worry about Moscow, the next war Russia will cease to exist.
Grace Kelly So are you a jew or a muslim?
Grace Kelly Teutons, Mongols, French, Swedes, Germans, Poles, Turks, Japanese and many others said the same thing.
But what happened?
Why aren't they speaking now?
1N73RC3P7OR Except the Mongols DID conquer Moscow and Russia.
beachbum111111 Yes and it was their biggest mistake. Constant guerrilla warfare, attack on supply lines and rebellions stopped the mongol's expansion into the rest of Europe. The battle at the Kulikovo fields when their entire army was defeated was the last straw. They just couldn't take any more and the expansion was stopped never again to be resumed at a large scare.
Still it is commendable. The Mongols are the only ones that came close to destroying the Russians.
Great video as always, Suomi! I hope my map videos will be as good as yours, someday.
Thank you very much!
☭Suomi★ You're welcome!
Russians were going to "liberate" Constantinople? Right! Yeah, just ask how the Ukrainians, Pols, Jews, Uzbeks, Finnish, Alaskan Natives and many others felt when the Russians "libertated" them. Not saying Ottomans were saints, but the Russians weren't exactly better.
the Russians are saints I wish us Assyrians were under Russian rule rather then ottoman rule we would have our own country today and there would be no Assyrian genocide just ask the Armenians which they prefer to be ruled by they'll tell you stop falling for anti Russian propaganda
Younan Younan I never said the Ottomans were saints. My point was Russia's hands were just as bloody if not even more bloody if one counts Joseph Stalin. The Russians ethnically clensed Circassians, and Soviets pulled some massacres of it's own.
My point, go through any countries history you are going to find a time where they really fucked up.
Tj Whitley so big deal compared to the ottomans the Russians were saints so you're going to judge an entire nation just because of what some Georgian dictator did that is not fare
Younan Younan I said that if you look at any other country's history you are going to find a time where they fucked up. I meant that as no country is innocent. So no I do not hate Russians or anyone else for that matter. That is kind of my point actually... I don't get the hate on the Turks. People are trying to paint this angle of trying to make the Turks as the bad guys, and the Russians as the good guys. You can't paint an entire history of ones country as good or evil. It would be like me saying you are evil because of the Neo-Assyrian Empire as they were doing things that today are considered evil, but it was actually the norm during their time.
Christian Russia and comunist USSR is 2 big differences do not need bla-bla-bla and pour us mud. It's 2 sears different states with a different way of life and a look at the world. The USSR is not 30 years old, but you are still fed with lies about kgb, gulags, bears and other delirium.
Good video, Greetings from Chile. You are very intelligent, it is a great honor for me to watch your videos. I am a subscriber yours.
Thank you very much!
Why is people always fighting in this videos like "Ha, take that stupid Turkey, Russia is better than you" or "This wasn't fair, they would never win alone" I understand you like your country (I think is perfect) but you don't have to attack other countries because of thet.
JUST GROW UP!
(Sorry for bad english)
+Lapland It's called nationalism. I don't see a problem in it. If you're that soft that you want to go cry just because someone disses your country because of a historical event, then you shouldn't be on the internet my friend
Games Cooky I'm argentinian, no comments in this video offend my countr ,but its annoying.
You made a video about the russo turkish war and you find all the people saying things like "My country is best" "Your country sucks", etc, but nobody says "Great job, i liked the video"
Lapland Some people are more patriots than others. I'm from Norway and i can say that a lot of norwegians likes to make fun of our fellow swedish neigbours.
I've even seen british people honoring the red coats and talking shi* about the americans for winning the independence war.
And i've seen americans bragging about it, talking shi* to the british.
It's just a part of being a nationalist. We like to brag and talk shit. If you've got problems with it, there's not much you can do other than to ignore it ;)
Games Cooky Good point
+Lapland They discuss because it's a perfect way to learn about ither countries, learning how to discuss, what arguments to give, to expand your mind..
If you don't like it don't go around telling others what they should or shouldn't do. These people are just discussing and obviously you're the child who should accept what other people do instead of whining about it and JUST GROW UP
Map is incorrect started .Prezinta Romania as part of the Ottoman Empire, what is wrong .Niciodata, nor Romania or Romanian medieval states, they were not part of the Ottoman Empire, were vassals of the Ottoman Empire. Participation Roman army to war was initiated by Grand Duke Nicholas, by his request for military assistance addressed to Prince Carol I of Romania.
wearing a crown doesnt make you a king
Interesting war. Good video as always, very detailed
In those days empires without any shame did openly what would benefit them more, with complete disregard for people. Now they still do it, but less obvious and with other strategys
I like how the great powers that did nothing got something XD lol
Russia actually won 200 hundred years ago then they took Turkish Lands in Siberia and Central Asia
4:18 lol ugly boundaries like Paradox games. In any case, great job Suomi, you are much improved from your first videos. You are a great inspiration for me.
Valahia, Transilvania and Moldova (Wallachia,Transylvania and Moldavia) never have been Ottoman provinces.
By 1541, the entire Balkan peninsula and most of Hungary became Ottoman provinces. In contrast, Moldavia, Wallachia, and Transylvania, came under Ottoman suzerainty, but conserved fully internal autonomy and, until the 18th century, some external independence. During this period, also called the Phanariot Epoch, the Romanian lands were characterised by the slow disappearance of the feudal system
Russians have always been the strongest nation
in russa xD
The most important gain for Russia in this war was Batumi which allowed them to transport Caspian Sea oil to the west.
The Russians liberated My ancestors in Romania from the Ottoman Empire my mom is from Romania but during her time she lived under the iron curtain under Nicolae ceausescu
One day Constantinople will be liberated.
Constantinople doesn't exist.

Great videos on your channel, and great music! I love how this clip shows the aspirations of ''small '' Balkan nations to overthrown Ottomans and gain independence, a process with lasted throughout the whole 19th century all the way to the first world war. Thanks to the great Russia whose involvement in Balkan always led to destabilization of Ottoman Empire (and Austrian too, later) and made space for other nations to regain their freedom and constitute themselves . Russians certainly had their interests which were not all altruistic, but which great power didn't?
Also, you can try to find a film where the situation in Bulgaria is explained deeper militarily. There is the typical normal life sotry there but it does have a side with the military stuff.
You should have mentioned the brutality with which the April Uprising was supressed. Likey Likey!
Very good!
Who would've thought a drought caused all that XD
Thanks! However, national awakenings in Serbia, Montenegro and Romania also played a major role in causing all this.
Not to mention Russia's desire for revenge after losing the Crimean War.
Yes indeed, I meant to say the nationalism was already there, and it was sparked because of an economic decline as a result of bad weather. Really, a perfect time to rebel. A successful revolt in Greece showed a decline in Ottoman authority. I can see why the Ottoman Empire designated to quickly. SRBIJA STRONK.
The ottomans "If you continue i gonna beg for great powers, because we suck fighting great nations, and thanks to treaties about autistic great powers, we won't getcompletely invaded"
Спасибо ☭Suomi★, напомнил нам о местах нашей боевой славы....непростое было время главное, что получилось освободить народы из под Турков
Nice Work
What are you from? Greetings from Chile
Nice video, but The Principality of Moldavia and Wallachia(this was the official name) was not a Russian dominion. The Principality was a semi-independent kingdom who granted military acces to the Russian Empire snd later joined the war as an oportunity to become fully independent. Actually, the Russian forces were crushed at Plevna, but when the Romanian forces lead by Prince Karol I von Hohenzollern arrived, Karol I lead the Russo-Romanian forces to victory and so The Principality became The Kingdom of Romania.
Romania russian ocupation? Read before you do videos please.We weren't under ocupation.They just crossed the Danube.After that they sent a letter to Carol 1 to cross the Danube with his army because turks were kicking his ass.
Hum then you should re-learn your history because russian army never stopped any offensive during this war.
Where did I say they stopped the offensive??
" cross the Danube with his army because turks were kicking his ass."
Learn to read please. Russians crossed the Danube from Romania to Ottoman Empire, AFTER that russians asked Carol for help. Buy some glasses.
Alin 74 Buy glasses too , i said thaht Russian never stop any offensive and you said that turk were kicking their asses , totally wong.
A few predictions I'll make:

suomi please make great turkish war 1683
+Alp Atay Also first Balkan War and every single Russian-Ottoman War.
Romania was NEVER part of Otoman Empire, And Russian ocupation?!?! WTF?!?
Um,yes it was.
oh, really? between what years?
Jimimori Jixopegu Jiuvoqi wallachia and moldovia were the simple lands of Ottoman Empire for 400 years. And you should be lucky , because ottomans recaptured romania between 1916-18 . Germany ceded Romania to Ottomans, when great war will finish Ottoman forces left. However 21 factory, 48.000 rifle, 7 million ton iron captured and resetup in Turkey from you. Muhahaha
can güvercin
Dream one Turd, In WW 1 the so called Otoman Empire was nothing just a stinky corpse who masacre armanian civilians, nothing more

Haha firstly you should know that Ottoman Empire has 4 main vassal for western front; Crimea, Wallachia (Eflak in turkish) ,moldovia( Bogdan in turkish) and Transilvanya( Erdel in turkish) . These are the military vassals of empire, and they joined battles with their armies for 300-400 years. And if we turn ww1, turkish flag is rised in 1916-18 again. But we lost total war. You should not hate us. We dont changes your relligion or execute your people. Yes you fight for us , yet you could live in safety for hundreds years.
As you might see the small dot and holding of Russian advance till December is the legendary Siege of Plevna. Even my lovely Finns had fought there. One castle hold the whole Russian army for months before they run out of supplies. Genius commander of the castle invented the trench warfare.
Also 19th century politics are totally crazy. Every 5 year alliances switched to maintain power balance...
I don't remember who did it but if you mean Romanians are the ones who cut the supply line to the castle. Yeah, they ended the siege in a way. Some army cut the mountain passes so the reinforcements and supplies did not arrive to Plevna.
Same with Sevastopol during Crimean war, when Russia fought simaltenously against brists, french and turks
nice video :]]
Absolutely great. Maybe a bit slower. It's takes time to see territorial difference (especially in two completely different areas) and read the description.
Hey, when did Greece joined the war taking Thessaly?
Treaty of Berlin was a criminal act against Bulgaria. I cannot express with words how grateful i am to Russia . The greatest of all empires and the only true state of christianity .
That entire area was producing strong opium. The USA had begun minting opium trade dollars containing 420 grains of silver. Much conflict revolved around that market.
I love the aesthetics of this infographic. Feels like a RPG on W DoS
The Ammount of Detail in all strategic movement is just.. Staggering Accurate :O
The War, that made Bulgaria finally an independent and free nation after 5 Centuries of Ottoman Yoke!
🇧🇬❤🇷🇺
How do you make the maps? Great effort!
This is Turkish Air Force speaking on guard you are aproaching Turkish Air Space change your heading south immediately
Don't forget to call NATO to cover your useless asses. :^)
it would have been really nice if you mentioned important moments in the war though. One of which is the battle of the Shipka pass, in which a small force of russians and bulgarian volunteers stopped an elite turkish army, which, if they didn't do, would have caused the russian defeat and the slaughter of the local bulgarians, similar to what happened to the armenians years after. Thanks to this heroic battle, the war was pretty much saved and is the main reason to have the Shipka monument built in their memory.
A very good video :) , i liked the part most when Romania become his independence - ^-^

Thank you Russia! 🇷🇺

i just notice tht the previous 3 of the russo turkish war, the ottomans keep loosing romania lol

Thanks a lot!
This is not an Ottoman-Russian war. Dying Ottoman Empire versus 6 Country. Hmm..
4:24 Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule for 500 years, not 400
No, for 400 years, not 500. Do it exagerrate
The Bulgarian war was the most intense
If this happens today i hope Europe will become smarter this time and let Russia do it's job.Stop fighting for little things and realize who is the real enemy.
suomi can you make the greco-turkish war 1878-1881?

1.dunya savaşına katılmak tam bir aptallık. Sebebi yorgun düşen devlet millet ve ordu. Vatansever ve yenilgileri hazmedemeyen subaylar yüzünden oluyor.

Lol turk, glory to Bulgaria and Russia
I wish everyone who wanted Istanbul to fall a very terrible day
Keep ur weeshes to urself
E hoje a maioria desses países que foram libertados pela Rússia e russofobica haha, vocês devem muito a Rússia.
All I have to say about this is that Romania wasn't part of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of this war. There was no Ottoman military presence North of the Danube, no mosques were ever built and at this time there weren't even sums of money sent to Istanbul to maintain peace (like in past centuries). So there was a vassality but only in name. Oh, and a Russian occupation of Romania? no such thing... as far as I know there were clear routes decided for the Russians to cross the principality, exactly because at first they didn't want to get involved in the war.
Awesome!
Thank you!
Very usefull
I know I'm late but huge chunks of Bulgaria were liberated by the Serbian army with the help of the Russians. So almost everything that’s painted here in Romanian occupation.
I am really thank you!
What program did you use to create this video?
Just happy we are free now:) Only need to stabilize the country, and free ourselves from outside influences. Bulgaria will become a bigger heaven.
Suomi, did you already saw my Asia timeline Video?
Hey, Im Finnish and firstly this is just my comment. Im not Ottoman Supporter , In m opinion if Russians and Ottoman would fight just between them , probably Ottoman Empire would win the war thats my opinion. But a lot of another rebels or countries (what you prefere to say) support and joined the war on Russian's side. Ottomans did rule this land for centuries and they were know the geographical structures .Also Ottomans were have a lot of Turkish village in Balkans. This is the advantages why Im thinking Ottoman would win the war.
Grafhindolf the turks stand no chance the russians are more like powerful men than the turks
Dat music :))))))))
Britain is like the USA back in those days. always minding other peoples affairs
No. USA are today like the British in those days.
Could you please make a great northern war every fortnight/week. It would be amazing. Even though it gets a little bit repetetive with Ottoman defeats :D
the jizya tax or anti-christian humiliation tax was increased on the Balkan region. They needed Christians for cash and that is why they did not convert everyone
Here i see some muslims think that they are powerfull so... I decided to type that:
Fall of constantinople
Strength
Byzantines
Land forces:
7,000-10,000[3][4][5][4][5][6][7]-12,000,[8] many of whom were civilians
600 Ottoman defectors[9]
Naval forces:
26 ships[10]
Note: Of the 7,000 - 10,000 soldiers in the Byzantine army, 700 were both Genoese and Greek from the island of Chios and Genoa (400 were recruited at Genoa and 300 at Chios), 800 soldiers led by the Venetians (mostly of Cretan origin, and renowned for having fought heroically during the siege), 200 men from Cardinal Isidore, all of which were archers. By nationality, there were 5,000 Greeks and 2,000 foreigners, mostly of Genoese and Venetian origin.[11]
Ottomans
Land forces: [a]:
50,000-80,000[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

Mehmed II had promised to his soldiers three days to plunder the city, to which they were entitled.[83][84] Soldiers fought over the possession of some of the spoils of war.[85] According to the Venetian surgeon Nicolò Barbaro "all through the day the Turks made a great slaughter of Christians through the city". According to Philip Mansel, thousands of civilians were killed and 30,000 civilians were enslaved or deported.[86]
The looting was extremely thorough in certain parts of the city. Weeks later on 2 June, the Sultan would find the city largely deserted and half in ruins; churches had been desecrated and stripped, houses were no longer habitable and stores and shops were emptied. He is famously reported to have been moved to tears by this, speaking "What a city we have given over to plunder and destruction."[87]
Really nice battle you know 7000 (civilians) vs 50 000-80 000 and battle last 53 day Muslims won becouse they were more not because they were strong.
Now read this:
Strength
Turks
100,000-250,000 according to modern Georgian estimates.
Other studies put the numbers at 200,000 to 250,000 [1]
or approximately 300.000.[2]
400,000-600,000 according to Muslim, Christian chronicles from around that period.[3][4][5]
Total: 55,600[4][5]
Georgians
40,000 Georgians (5000 Monaspa Guard)
15,000 Cumans(Settled in Georgia)
500 Alan Mercenaries
100-200 French Knights
The course of the battle is differently related in the contemporaneous historical records. According to the Arab chronicler Ibn al-Athir, David sent a small detachment of his men in order to simulate negotiation. Other accounts speak of a hundred supposed deserters requesting an audience with the Seljuq commander. Meanwhile, the Georgians successfully managed to deploy a large portion of their force where they would almost encircle the enemy in a pincer movement. Their opponents remained unaware of such activities. Upon approaching the Seljuq leaders, the deserters or diplomatic group unveiled their real intentions by suddenly attacking and killing every Seljuq commander in sight and others who were attending the meeting. While this was going on David ordered a frontal attack on the enemy vanguard with his crusader cavalry which didn't only devastate the enemy's forward lines but also entangling the Seljuq archers in close combat effectively taking out a crucial component of Ilghazi's force. The Georgians then began to quickly advance on the flanks in full formation. Najm ad-Din Ilghazi ibn Artuq and his son both survived the attack on the vanguard but were severely injured during the fight and left the battlefield leaving the Seljuq army virtually leaderless. The majority of his commanders were either injured or killed which caused confusion and likely resulted in no adequate response to the chaotic situation. King David didn't hesitate and personally led the Georgian right flank ordering his heavy cavalry to ride straight into the seemingly unorganised Seljuk left flank trying to reinforce the vanguard. Having the advantage of moving his troops down slope the charge of the Georgian cavalry proved very effective. Almost simultaneously the left wing under the command of his son Demetrius struck the Seljuk right flank also with heavy cavalry. When the Georgian infantry joined the fight the Seljuq troops started to panic and retreated emmasse through the huge gap in their army's rear which wasn't engaged in the battle. This provoked big parts of uninvolved Seljuq troops to flee as well causing a massive rout while their vanguard got completely annihilated. David then sent forward his 15,000 Kipchak cavalrymen to run down the fleeing enemy so that they wouldn't have time or a chance to regroup or commence any other move. With the Kipchaks joining in the final remaints of Seljuq resistance crumbled and joined the rout. The battle was decided within three hours with the Seljuq army overrun leaving a very large number of dead, injured, prisoners and booty. Fleeing remaints were constantly pursued and run down for several days. The captured Seljuqs would serve for David's ambitions to rebuild his kingdom.[11] Aside from those accounts, it has also been suggested that confronted by a vanguard of the large invading force, David had to rely on the advantages the nearby terrain offered to disguise his troop movements. The Seljuk cavalry was provoked or tricked into a relatively narrow pass where they likely had not much room to maneuver. As they were cut off from the rest of Ilghazi's army the Georgians were easily able to take them out with spears, pikes and light infantry using bows and javelins. The rest of the coalition army was probably forced to climb slopes to attack the Georgian army's main body, while being constantly struck at the flanks by heavy cavalry. After a while, those tactics broke the fighting will of the Muslim army, which was soon routed. Ilghazi reportedly received an injury to his head when a hundred crusaders managed to break through his lines rushing towards the Seljuq command banner.[12] King David ordered his Kipchak light cavalry to keep pursuing the retreating Seljuqs to prevent further conflict. The amount of men fleeing the field must have been so huge, that the Georgian cavalry was taking large numbers of prisoners for several days. As a result, the Georgians were able to liberate the entire region from Muslim influence and even contest territories within the Seljuq Empire which at that point was left almost defenceless.
Aftermath[edit]
Following the victory, David moved relentlessly against the remaining pockets of Muslim resistance and next year, in 1122, he stormed Tbilisi, so that the city might become, according to a Georgian chronicler, "for ever an arsenal and capital for his sons." The medieval sources emphasize David’s acts of revenge against the Muslims of Tbilisi. However, the Arab historian al-'Ayni (1360-1451), who utilizes sources, some of which have not survived, admits that the city was pillaged but says that the Georgian king eventually showed patience and "respected the feelings of the Muslims."[8][11]

It's not Accurate, because Lascăr Catargiu the Romanian Prime-Minister sent a letter to Europe Powers and clearly sad that Romania is not in the Ottoman influence so in 1977 at Livadia they negotiate Russian army pass on romanian territory, and in same year called up 125 000 man and make strategical fortifications. Romanians fought alongside russian and also Ottoman head of army General Osman Pasa surrendered it's sword to Romanian lieutanant colonel in head of army.
What a great war
Why don't you make European Timeline National Flags Part 4?
da man I originally thought about making one from the year 1648 to present (basically a compilation of the previous three videos with fixed mistakes) but I decided instead to make part 4 from 1500 to 1700, and then make a compilation video of all four parts in one with fixed mistakes instead, which is going to take some time.
☭Suomi★ That's a good idea but when do you guess it might be done?
