🚩 Quote from Weapons and Warfare: "Even though the Ottoman government failed to achieve a complete victory in the Long War it still gained considerable advantage by retaining such critical territorial conquests as Kanije and Eğri. This forced the Habsburgs to spend large amounts of money and time to build up a new defensive line against the Ottomans. Another advantage occurred with the influx of large numbers of western mercenaries, who introduced new weapon systems, tactics, and techniques into the Ottoman military. The Ottoman military benefited greatly from these new innovations, thanks to its receptivity and pragmatism. For the first time in Ottoman history, the government enlisted groups of mercenaries who had deserted from the Habsburg camp. The most well-known example involved the desertion of a French mercenary unit in the Papa fortress to the Ottoman side on August 1600. Afterwards, they served on various campaigns during the Long War, and some of them continued to serve well after the end of war. Even though this was extraordinary and not representative of a generalized trend, it demonstrates that the Ottoman government of the seventeenth century was far from being the reactionary and conservative organ that is still a commonly held conviction about its identity today." -- read the entire article here: weaponsandwarfare.com/2020/05/03/battle-of-keresztes-1596/
more Hannibal please!! we haven't gotten a video or the continuation of the Hannibal fights against Rome in more than a year or more.
last major Ottoman victory in central europe ? what the hell ?
Ottomans won many major wars after Kerestes,such as Siege of Naģykanizsa which 9.000 Ottoman soldier routed 65.000+ Habsburg army
Does the big guy get a 10% cut for his art?

That battle wasn’t a defeat by the Christians alone. The Ottomans disengaged as well and the battle was not for nothing. The Christian army despite their withdrawal accomplished their goal which was dislodging their enemies from the fortified town.
You may sound British, but you’re definitely a pro-Muslim person based on your biases. Didn’t you just say in the earlier part that these Ottomans murdered the people they captured? Why are you partial to these murderers?
This is absolutely wild. A perfect storm of events that led a sure victory to a humiliating defeat, but the Ottomans didn't have any way of taking advantage of it and everyone who left the battlefield did so without getting anything out of it.
That sounds like a textbook phyrric victory.
ive had this happen to me so many times in video games when you smash people at first, get cocky, then lose entirely because you stopped trying
@LOL SHORTS 4) If your soldiers want to loot a camp, they WILL loot a camp.
Only this one was a pyrrhic defeat.
a match is never time 90 minutes. never forget extra minutes, The Ottomans took goal at 90+3 and win the match
@LOL SHORTS Have a military culture of generous spoils dispersal in the strictest order, after a clear victory.
1) Punish any greedy overlord--those who seek to leave their men with a pittance of the spoils.
2) Corporal punishment for any soldier who breaks ranks; death for those who break ranks to pursue booty.
Basically, the above was clearly Cesarean Roman--that is why they were overall the most reliable units.

@@MrDwarfHammerToFace because janisseries have hard discipline and many martial art talents. they must be single and focus only war.
@@kingfranses The Janissaries were not as well-trained at fighting in formations as were European infantry. This would become even more true after this period.
@@rkitchen1967 totally opposite is true. Janissary unit was among the first if not THE first uniformal, professional infantry in Europe. They had far superior training where as only the Elite of european army aka the knights and squires (man at arms) were highly trained. Otherwise the regular units got basic training. Check your facts.
The Austrian and Ottoman empires bitterly fought each other for centuries only to die in the same war as allies in WW1. What Irony.
The British and French fought against each other for centuries only to lose their empires as allies in modern world, what irony.

Dunno why you'd call it the "austrian" empire, cause it's the holy roman empire. The "austrians" were on the throne for the longest time with the dynasty of habsburg, but they initially come from swabia, and built a fortress on swiss land called habsburg. I dunno how that makes it the "austrian" empire.

Haha, good one
Really enjoyed working on this series and collaborating with HistoryMarche, whose production quality never ceases to amaze me!
Mehmed III: We losing i have to go
Hoca Sadettin: Nope
This is not the last time in history an Austrian army defeats itself.
It is the rule, when you cannot say that enemy was brave, you say friend was dumb....
Although you can't blame the Austrians here, as Maximilian the 3rd sounded like a sensible guy. It were the other commanders and generally indisciplined soldiers who were to be blamed.
@@madhurawat155 if we go by historical narratives. one cannot say for sure if the historian that wrote the contemporary is maximilian sympathizers or not. kinda like how after ww2 the remaining generals of the certain european countries blamed it all on the funny mustache man's bad planning, haste and ambition because the mustache man is already too dead to provide counter argument/correction.

A master class of how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Hello, I am Turkish.
I watched this war without knowing the outcome, I thought throughout the video that it was a war we were defeated. In the end, the opposite happened. It made me proud of my ancestors once again. THEN I read about this war from my own Turkish sources. This war is actually a war won by the backward service; lumberjacks, tent makers, butlers, camelmakers and cooks start attacking the enemy with their picks, wood splitters, axes, scythes, cauldrons and ladles. His order was broken when the crusader army joined the plunder and this sudden attack caused panic. After the retreat of the enemy, the raiders and janissaries began to attack the Crusader army again and the balance was disturbed. This battle is also known in the literature as the "Battle of the Bucket and the Cauldron", as the rear guards contributed to the victory of this battle...
lol small christian army whooped you again.
I have never seen a well-organised plan fall apart so quickly... truly they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Mehmed III: "I'm not in danger Pashas, I'm the danger."
HOLY…. That was just riveting. What an emotional rollercoaster… i got the most intense goosebumps when the OTtomans started to turn the tide. OMG… absolutely devastating comeback. I mean holy **** that was epic. What a battle. Cheers my man. This 3-parter about Keresztes may just have won the top spot in my personal ranking of your channel’s miniseries. Dude, this is outstanding. Thank you for your hard work.
Goodebumps as in it was good, or bad? I was well annoyed, I previously didn't know the outcome so was of course rooting for the Europeans.
@@Meloncholymadness Triggered much ?
Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by a weak commander who gave in to subordinates who wouldn't stick to the plan.
History shows us this same lesson time and time again: an army more concerned with loot looses cohesion and then their lives.
Thanks for a very interesting and well produced video 😄
We only know that the crossing was the wrong decision with the benefit of hindsight. After they routed the Ottomans so effectively, there was a strong case to press the advantage. Also after disasters everyone likes pointing fingers, so after military defeats the sources often contradict themselves, so I would be very careful with these narratives. Also yes looting is disasterous to army cohesion, that was proven many times over.
He had NOT until the faulty report of Mehmed abandoning his camp arrived. He was like the only sensible commander and he tried to do it well till the end, but other than him, it does seem like an incompetence contest.
And also his cavalry contingent was the ONLY one that managed to form up in battle order in time, else the allied army wouldn't have even reached to the Ottoman camp.
What I remembered of Genghis khan new and revised army was that no man should loot during or after battle. But I'd imagine a commander would need to be extremely charismatic to instill such discipline.
My reaction throughout this video was "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LOSE BRO?! HOW THE HELL DO YOU LOOOOOOSE BRO!". This has to be one of the most scuffed victories that I have ever seen.
Same
A war in which both sides suffered great losses but achieved nothing. Ottoman Habsburg rivalry affected European history. Both empires battered each other so much that it gave rise to other rivals in Europe.
When two fight, the third wins.
@@Kawabongahlive And the winner is Russia :)
Which rivals?
@@Meloncholymadness Austria lost the leadership of the Germanic peoples. The Ottomans, on the other hand, lost the leadership of the Islamic world. States such as Britain Russia Prussia emerged as new powers.
@@kayagurcu2814 I would say the winner is France rather than Russia. Bcause Russia begins to rise after 1750s
Can't say I've ever heard of an army trapped in it's own camp rallying and forcing the enemy off the field, usually by the time a camp is being looted the occupants have already fled.
@18:37 , sometimes it is not just planning that wins a battle, it is just pure loyalty driven by spirit to win !
Maximilian: We do not have any French contingent here, so there should be no one impetuous enough to go against my battle plan.
Hungarians and Transylvanians: *Observe.*
Maximilian: Now hold on...
Hungarians and Transylvanians: *OBSERVE!*
This series is amazing! It feels like if I'm watching a movie. A true rollercoaster of emotions. An outnumbered coaliton somehow manages to gain the upper hand, only to lose it to their own greed. Thank you for making this stunning work.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
When you are so certain of victory that you lose everything.
Battle of Keresztes series are such roller coaster to watch. Every time it seems like Ottoman is losing various engagements, but they somehow won again, sometime their units are incompetent, janissary come to save the day. It is such a great series
Incompetent probably bcauz they needed modernization
ottomans were too behind in military technology and ideas, their army also usually consisted of volunteers who were there to take part in plunder
@@RandomGuy-df1oy they went this far in the east and west because they were so far "behind" :dd
@@AnatolianHittite they went far before they were in behind which starts around second half of 16th century
@@RandomGuy-df1oy the same thing that happened to other empires
Caesar would’ve made his army dig 2 walls around that camp.
How do you dig a wall?
@@randalloshbough908 That’s the point ig
@@randalloshbough908 Dig a long ditch and stock up the earth behind, voilà you have a wall :D people doing it for several thousand years
Ceaser would have crucified any soldier who dared even about thinking on getting out of formation to loot......
@@jorgebarriosmurThe legendary 10th legion disagree:) that legion when saw the moment of opportunity for winnin they don't even listen the Caesar:)
In Turkish public memory, this battle is mentioned as "pots and pans warfare", as the support of the non combatant units such as cooks, grooms, stable boys etc. was very significant in turning the tide. They picked what arms they could find and fought the looters. Seeing the ferocity of these non combatant units, The Jannissaries were riled up and joined the fray. At least, this is how the Turkish narrative goes, I believe there is some truth in it, as a country would not want to attribute victory to insignificant non combatant units rather than their elite troops, i don't see any advantage in that.
Actually there is as dis will make it seem that the highly trained warriors of christian west was defeated by cooks and chefs that would be a great boost to muslim morale and a very good propaganda.
@@funfacttrivias2121 But it did happend you know that animal is strongest when there is no where to run
@@funfacttrivias2121 it is true the cooks had won the battle, because when the Christians entered the kitchen they started to loot the meals. And when the cooks attacked there was a small confusion in Christian army, at the same time one Cook shouted that the enemy was defeated so that the some of the Turkish cavalry turned back and found the enemy looting the camp.
@@funfacttrivias2121 No turkish history also quote and accept that this battle proved that the western warfare technology put the ottomans behind and the army definitely need a modernisation to keep up with the West. Further the historians mentioned this battle as a defeat because considering the money that spent and the effort to preparing the campaign wasn't really feasible in any way
what a bloody mess that battle was. HistoryMarche on point again! thank you
Thank you sir.
What a thrilling back and forth, and your attention to detail is to be thoroughly applauded!
Finally part3! thanks for your hard work HM
Hope you enjoyed it! Great to see you KHK
@@HistoryMarche You were going to make a video about Selim the Grim a long time ago?
It’s crazy how good strategy and luck can be struck down by the greed of looting. I always facepalm whenever I hear troops starting to loot before the battle is even over 🤦♂️
Finally we have part 3 been waiting by the subscription box for this one. Thank you Historymarche for the story and the production quality was amazing this episode had me on the edge of my seat.
Wow really awesome battle! Props to HistoryMarche and Historyverse for a really great collaboration series!!
22:17 Great Video. Whilst it is true that this Battle was the last great victory on the battlefield for the Ottomans in Central Europe, it would be misleading to think that this meant the status quo remained the same until the war of the holy league in 1683.
Rather, as discussed by historians such as Professor Gabor Agoston, warfare in Central Europe and Hungary transitioned to skirmishes and sieges of massive fortresses as opposed to large scale battlefield engagements.
Professor George B Michels in his recent book “The Habsburg Empire under siege,” notes how during the mid 17th century, under the revived leadership of Grand Vizier Ahmed Korprulu, the political stalemate was effectively reversed by the mid 1670s, with the Austrians lacking the money or manpower to put up even token resistance towards the large scale Hungarian defections to the Vizier of Buda and the ottoman conquest of Habsburg border fortresses. Noting that a full Ottoman vassalization of the Slovakian, West Hungarian and Croatian captaincies was prevented purely by the intervention of an international coalition during the 1680s.
Wow Greatest come back sort of. I was not expecting this out come
Finally almost two months later. Now i will sleep peacefully
Another great video! Thanks HistoryMarche!
The video was epic.
Thank you so much for this great video.
I was looking forward to part 3 so so desperately😁
Thanks for your hard work, amazing work as usual.
@ 21:14 OMG they started to loot their own camp o_O ? I guess the remaining survivors decided to collect their wages by their own hands even on the cost of other allies !
Quality content as always in this channel
Thanks HistoryMarche!
Much appreciated!
I too like the history of Hungary!
Oh yes! I have enjoyed this video. Thank you for doing this. I appreciate it a lot.
Very interesting the 3 chapters of this battle. Congrats for your great work.
Amazing work HM! Hope you are doing well.
I was waiting for end two months 😩 I love the way you said the history
Love every thing of history marche. Please cover other part of long turkish war.
another superb video. One of most detailed historical videos we had. This could one day lead into a boardgame of some sort! This type of battle would made it perfect case for a boardgame match.
That would be cool!
Sadly have heard “thousands of lives were lost… for nothing” so many times throughout history
Janissary in the ottoman camp: Flee or God Mod?
Sultan Mehmed: Yes!
You're a master of dramatic narration !
Wow such a great series, each second of it was very exciting, may all the warriors RIP, not easy being a warrior
Mehmed III after winning the battle : "ight imma head out"
Finally the series is at an end ! I hope that the next video will be a Hannibal video btw great work keep it up historymarche
Shout-out to the German prince, Bernard van Anhalt and his 200 Saxon knights, who sacrificed themselves to give the retreating men some time. @19:54
probably got cut down in combat randomly by a cannon, but the fammly needed a heroic story to tell there subjects

these videos are getting cooler and cooler GJ
Awesome love your Battle videos can watch for hours
Love your channel well done 👍
Keep up the great work guys 👍
Thanks for your support and kind words!
It seems Muslim armies in general, especially during the early stages of Rashidun Caliphate, have this high fighting morale, when being cornered. The same can be said about early Crusaders. Religious zeal really helps. It's interesting to see how in battles inflicting loses is secondary to crashing enemy morale.
In this case, though, I think the Christians exceeded the Ottomans in religious zeal
The Ottomans at this time were decadent and unorganized, knowing full well that when defeated, they could always ride back to cushy Constantinople
An army's zeal trickles down from the commander himself after all and Mehmed III was useless until the last 8 minutes of this series xD
@@RexGalilae you are delusional.
because our religion is true while your God got breastfed by his creation
@@ahmadfrhan5265
Come on, don't tell me the ottomans and their sultan bothered to put up any kind of fight until the end
They got lucky. The way they were fighting, this could've easily ended in disaster
@@RexGalilae you take 1 event and implement it on all sultans? clearly someone is off here. the Ottomans were far better than cursaders and always fought bravely to the last while cursaders always got rekt by Ottomans.
Islam is what makes us strong. Christianity is dead and false
Quality everytime 🙏
"Last Great Victory" under an Ottoman Sultan, the Koprulu family of Grand Viziers would return with even greater victories.
amazing done!
First, good work with the video amazing documentary like always, and second please do a video about the battle of saint gotthard would be amazing to see that, keep with the excelent work HistoryMarche 👍
thanks for the great videos!
These great empires basically exhausted all their resources and fought each other to a standstill as neither side was really able to make any gains. In that way it was probably for the better.
Ottoman-Habsburg clashes is not well-known for European people. Such a great service for all! Thanks!
Why? Because most of it was a horrible stalemate that made everyone involved miserable.
Not well known? You live under a rock my guy.
Amazing Video! I think this is a perfect example of the difference between an medieval army (composed of multiple factions and leaders) and professional armies (roman and post-medieval) lead by generals with clear hierarchy.
Ottoman army was that sophisticated at that time
@@affanarifnurfarhan2439 Yes, especially the Janissaries. I was more talking about european armies.
Incredible Mago and incredible story. Full of drama, action and twists.
Great video!
Just made my weekend, thank you!
Now all we need is the next release of Hannibal 😉
It's Finally here! Thanks for part 3
Here goes the sacrifice for the youtube algorithm. I hope you keep the narrator guy around for future projects...he has such an epic voice ans it makes your vids much better
Finally I was waiting for this what felt like forever lol please keep the time gaps in between parts shorter.
Thanks, it was great video
That Masterwork ad was smooooth. I didn't see it coming.

Very glad to see you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
Man watching your contents makes me wanna play Age of Empire III again love your videos man! ❤
it's finally here! Hype!!!
Battles such as this illustrate the importance of focus, determination, and cohesion. The allied army could have stopped from losing their minds at the thought of looting the Ottoman camp, but they didn’t, and it cost them the battle
What a mess. Nice content as always. :)
Shoutout to Bernard of Anhalt whom despite seeing the whole army in panic. Decided to charge the Ottomans head on with only a small portion of equally badass knights.
Good movie?
What a crazy turn of events i was expecting the ottomans to lose........
İt was a great return from Ottomans 💯
I was expecting a stalemate, the river provided an important advantage to the defending side, the moment allied army advanced, it was doomed
a match is never time 90 minutes. never forget extra minutes, The Ottomans took goal at 90+3 and win the match
I love the musket fire animation.
I wouldn't say it was ultimately for nothing. Because of this victory, the ottomans probably still retained a certain strong image to their adversaries as strong and have military capabilities that can still rival theirs for now
This is probably the greatest comeback of all time
Perfect, now I have to watch parts 1 and 2 because I'm OCD
Pls do a video about the great northern war it would be amazing
Awesome 👏
Thanks 🤗
Good stuff.
Sigismund Bathory, as skilled as a strategist as honest and reliable for its allies (Michael the Brave would have something to say about that).
The Turks using feint retreat up in late 16th century... absolute mad lads.
Great battle .
This battle remind me of one of my battle in Empire total war, basically the enemy (Marathas) trying to assault my fort using superior melee attacks but unsuccessful. So when i saw they were routing on masses i fixed bayonet all my troops and charge them head on. My units are all scattered and the remaining unbroken enemies began to pick my unit one by one, they even get to kill my general, luckily i could withdraw all of my troops back to the fort and this time attacking them with more cohesion, the battle is won but a very close one. This is an important example of keeping your unit cohesion even if your enemy are routing
Fantastic

It makes you wonder how much control leaders really had over these ancient armies, especially with feigned retreats when the "King/Commander" expressly warned their men against this, and their men did it anyway!
