Good thing the Austrians had the help of Prince Eugene of Savoy. He is such an underrated general.

Nice video !

[@hassanminbaghdad]

Can you go into more detail about how Eugene defeated such a huge Ottoman force

[@cov.teo.8131]

Funny thing about this war is that the Habsburgs gained from the Ottomans not only Hungary and Transylvania back, but also a bunch of territory from Serbia and Bosnia which they're going to have to give back to the ottomans after the disastrous Austro-Turkish war of 1737. So much for Austrian military prowess.

You expect them to win every time?

[@cov.teo.8131]

@@mihovilraboteg6160 I expect to able to at least win a war against the "sick man of Europe", even more so after winning Hungary and Transylvania back in the aftermath of the siege of Vienna. But I guess that's asking too much from Habsburgs.

@@cov.teo.8131 the term sick man of europe was invented well into the 19th century. This "sick man of europe" controlled the entire levant, had millions of taxpayers to fill its budget in the balkans let alone elsewhere to more than surpass that of austria several times over. Not to mention that the habsburgs had to constantlly worry about every single prince in the HRE, an attack in the back from the french and their own heterogeneous population and then somehow fight and beat the greatest empire since Rome. War is so much more complicated than you think, and the fact that they lost in 37' has nothing to do with the fact that they were "habsburgs"...a dynasty that managed to rule both corners of europe, the whole of *Latin* America,mexico etc.

@@mihovilraboteg6160 Even by the late 18th century the Ottoman Empire's army was considered to be one of the weakest in Europe. It was thoroughly shattered by the Russians two times in that century, it was overwhelmed by Napoleon's army in Egypt in the early period of the war of the second coalition, lost another 2 times to the russians in early 19th century and managed to be defeated even by the Serbs and Greeks during the same period. The only thing that kept that empire alive were the Franco-British-Germanic interventions who stopped the Russians from carving up the sick man every time they were about to end him. The only Power to ever struggle against the Ottomans in the late period were the Habsburgs who lost against them in 1737 and in 1787 respectively. There's a reason the Habsburgs are not very well known for their military legacy, which, compared to it's neighbors at the time, was much, much worse. Also the Habsburg control of Spain was, at that moment in 1737, no more than a distant memory since the aftermath of Spanish War of Succession, when France achieved it's goal to replace the Habsburg dynasty in Spain with the Bourbon one.
