In 1683, the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer Vienna, a pivotal moment in history. With an army of over 100,000 soldiers, they sought to spread their dominion across Europe. However, European leaders united against this threat, with King Sobieski of Poland leading the charge to protect Vienna. The siege began, and after enduring weeks of bombardment and starvation, the citizens of Vienna banded together to defend their city. On September 12, 1683, King Sobieski and his cavalry charged into battle, catching the Ottoman forces off guard and turning the tide of the battle. This victory marked the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe, demonstrating the resilience and determination of a united Europe in the face of adversity. Today, the Siege of Vienna serves as a testament to the strength of unity and the ability to overcome great challenges. • Timeline: • 00:00:00 In the year 1683, • 00:00:02 Europe stood on the brink of a cataclysmic clash, • 00:00:17 Vienna.
