On September 12, 1683, a massive engagement between the Ottoman Empire and the Christian Coalition took place. This battle would not only stop the advancement of the Ottoman Empire into Europe, but ultimately spark the decline of the Empire. This video will explore how the battle took place, and the consequences of it. • • *This video while giving accurate information on the actual battle, does not give a proper account on how the Ottoman Empire eventually collapsed. The reason for the title remaining the same is to remind us at History Lane to not repeat the same mistake and make sweeping claims on history without proper research. • Sources: • “The Enemy at the Gate: Habsburgs, Ottomans and the Battle for Europe” by Andrew Wheatcroft • “A History of War in 100 Battles” pg. 57 - 59.
