🚩The Second Battle of Mohács was part of the 1683-1699 Great Turkish War, which pitted the Ottomans against one of the several “Holy Leagues” thrown together over the decades to try to counter them. The Battle of Mohacs was one of the turning points that swung the war in favour of the Habsburgs.

I don't want to be a party pooper with the subject of the video, but despite the importance of the arrival of Eugene of Savoy with his cavalry as support and his successes pushing back a more numerous cavalry; For me, the most decisive figure in the battle was Louis William the Margrave of Baden-Baden, because his resistance against the Sipahis and his flanking movement at the end of the battle precipitated the definitive defeat of the Ottomans, which is why for me it is the true MVP of the Second Battle of Mohacs.

Prince Eugene is one of the most underrated generals of history.

[freyasslain]

Prince Eugene of Savoy was one of the greatest Field Marshals . The partnership of Eugene and Marlborough was the second greatest Bromance in history . The first was Augustus and Agrippa.

[michaelsinger]

Prince Eugene is such an underrated commander.

The guy does not get nearly the attention he deserves in the west.

In terms of map accuracy, movements and battle graphics, this channel is absolutely unmatched.

Wow amazing how you set this battle up. I’ve read about this battle and Eugene of Savoy. Finally someone makes a video of this battle! Courageous and brilliant in battle Eugene is up there with all the great generals of the past. Awesome how he leads his men in the thick of battle and follows through

Prince Eugene a leader that most only know from the companion ship of the Bismarck story. Thank you for giving me who falls into this more understanding and pride in the name.

This series is super interesting. No one really covers this period, but it's such a pivotal part of history. The introduction of muskets into the front lines, but still having a significant amount of pikes and lancers, along with swords and shields still being in the equation. Also the idea that firearms weren't developed enough to be a clear better option than bows.

I absolutely love this Prince Eugene series. I check Youtube a few times each day to see if a new one has been released. Cannot wait to get to the Battle of Zenta.

Something I love about these videos is everything looks like they took the time and detailed the maps well. For example the borders have a gradient to them, especially during war, to highlight that it's not a solid border

Nice job, really well done, as usual for HistoryMarche.

[TheAustrianAnimations]

Once again a great video! Prince Eugene and the Habsburg Monarchy finally get the military reputation they really deserve!

[JC-mxsu]

This is an interesting episode about Prince Eugene of Savoy, and I can't wait to learn more about him and his battles.

[razorsharpview]

That Background music at the end of this videos always makes my heart pump, your collaboration with Epic History of Napoleon's Marshals is incredible.

[StepForwardToday]

MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!

We the Youtubian People, hereby demand MORE HistoryMarche!!! ⚔️🛡

[RexGalilae]

This was probably the last Ottoman war which actually had a capable and competent Ottoman Empire in it

Suleiman Pasa looks like a capable and bold commander. He made all the right moves and took daring initiative

Too bad he was let down by his army and the empires finances

[stefanlinzmaier]

I recently watched a german documentary about Prince Eugene and now your video followed up. He apparently build a lot of nice castles besides being a brilliant army commander. Very nice video!

[williamromine]

As usual, you give depth to battles that compliment the narration. The two bring better understanding to the tactics and strategies involved. Good job.
