Both the Austrian and the Ottoman cultures are interesting.

[aaron9099]

I'm surprised this epic siege fell apart because of a simple, 2000 year old phalanx formation, I mean couldn't the Turks of used missile weapons?

I understand the whole situation with morale and all, but c'mon, 150,000 troops? Really?

[Strauss1269]

How wonder what if the Austrian Emprie  joined hands with Russia against the Ottomans. Perhaps Constantinople would had fallen...

[Strauss1269]

@Strauss1269

Or rather say, liberated.

[billboardx25]

Why didnt the turks just use muskets against those pikes

[MrLantean]

@billboardx25 Although firearms were used, battles were often fought in close quarter combat. A skilled musketeer was able to reload and shoot at least 4 or 5 bullets in a minute. Pikes were very effective to break enemy charges. In the end, the Turks were demoralized due to the lack of supplies and infavorable weather. The heavy rains had caused the Turks to abandon their heavy siege cannons that were essential to destroy the defensive walls of Vienna.

If I was in charge of that force I would have pounded that hole with some cannon fire before committing my troops but hindsight is always 20/20

[TheMita98]

people please listen to me:

my mothers family are muslims they believe in same god like christians but not the same way

we people must unite against the devil not agaist our selfes! if u agree

[sweetbounty]

@TheMita98 Agree - Islam is a devil. Destroy devil then!

[MyMeatStick1]

I wonder what Alexander the Great would've done

[Suppressingfire]

@MyMeatStick1 There never was & never will be a man like Alexander the great. Not only cos he conquered the east & there wasn't any where else to go except back but he fought & won against all odds in all possible worst conditions this planet & nature has to offer. He fought in Jungle terrain, desert terrain, mountain terrain, snowy terrain, urban terrain, crossing-river battles, naval warfare sieges, impregnable fortresses on mountains, hopelessly outnumbered multiple times & never lost.

[MyMeatStick1]

@Suppressingfire I bet that even when the Ottomans where facing a two front battle then Alexander the Great would've beaten them and taken the city! The men would've of been completely inspired in comparrison to the Sultan who never risked his own life on the battlefield.

[sa4ir]

@MyMeatStick1 no, did you know that alexander the "great" was homosexual? a gay cant win a war lol

[MyMeatStick1]

@sa4ir He won a war and conquered all of the known world of that era. Gay or no.

[sa4ir]

@Suppressingfire alexander the great was a great commander i really think he was but he was homosexual u can alos reqad about it

[Suppressingfire]

@sa4ir yes he was according to many, but i admire him for his magnificent military feats & not for what he loved..

[vidman163]

@sa4ir: I would not say Alexander the Great was homosexual but instead he was Bysexual, according to some anyway. Many Greeks were By but Alexander had 3 wives for God's sake.

[unfukkkmee]

THE ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS STRAIGHT AND SON OF ZEUS

@sa4ir FIRE IN DEAD Ottomans. DEATH TO Turkey ASSHOLE

[gera1262]

@unfukkkmee Nope. he had male lovers. It would be wise to say that he was a bisexual.

[unfukkkmee]

@gera1262 U ARE GERMANIC CANIBAL, YOU ARE EXTREME PROPAGANDIST AGAINST THE GREEK SANCTUARY PEOPLE WHO CIVILIZED THE WORLD. THE GREEK ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS GREATEST GENERAL EVER

[beachjuicetice]

@Suppressingfire

Cyrus the great conquered all the territory hundreds of years before alexander the great, long before the greeks even had the military capable of such a feat.

the achaemenid empire is still the largest and most successful ancient empire in human history, with immense accomplishments in civilization greater than that of any greek nation.

[MrPKKWarlord]

the turks used good tactics very simular plan like the siege of jerusalem by the saracens under the command of saladin i love this kind of warfare suleiman was a real butcher

[abc201051]

@MrPKKWarlord

What is name of miereseners ho defend viena.I want to now more.I wil looke at internet but dont now how to write that soldier.Something like Lanscalote

[Suppressingfire]

@abc201051 i think U mean for the Landsknechts.

[Suppressingfire]

@MrPKKWarlord i'm surprised ur saying stuff in favour of the turks/saracens when u used too criticise them heavily in our conversations.. btw during the siege of jerusalem its was the Ayyubids not just Turks. Saladin was the founder of the Ayyubids & his Ayyubid huge army consisted of mixed muslims mostly from Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Arabia, Mespotamia, Jordan, Turks & some Sudanese & Kurds if i'm not mistaken.

THE ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS STRAIGHT AND SON OF ZEUS.

@Suppressingfire THE NAPOLEON WAS BARBARIAN CONQUEROR
