The Forgotten Battle When Ottomans Fought The Aztecs - Forgotten History (Short Documentary)

The Forgotten Battle When Ottomans Fought The Aztecs. When we hear such peculiar title, we typically expect the battlefield to be in Central, South, or even North America. However, it may surprise you to learn that the battle between the Ottomans and the Aztecs took place in an unexpected location, far from the Ottoman Empire's lands and even the Americas. In this video, let us delve into the details of one of the most interesting and historically forgotten wars known as the Castilian War that witnessed the forgotten battle between the Ottomans and the Aztecs.

Thanks for watching :)
What did ancient civilization name each other before their current names?

People don't understand how huge the Spanish empire was. Many Native Americans fought in the Phillipines and other parts of south east Asia. So Native Americans did fight Moors.

5:29 once you know what this huge Ottoman hat was about you'll never unsee it.
Its called a Kafan. Its literally their burial shroud they wore around their head, all the time at least in public. When the person was killed or died, they unwrap it, and lay it across their body. Macabre eh.
The Ottoman upper class did this to "keep death in mind at all times and to protect them from falling in love with worldly pleasures."

For those who want to save time - 9:40 The 'Aztecs' could've part of the 200 'Mexicans' recorded to be in the fleet of about 2000 soldiers led by a Spanish general against the Brunei sultanate. They were probably mestizos (not real Aztecs) fighting in the Spanish style with Spanish weapons.
Edit - 0:29 and 10:00 showing native American warriors with obsidian clubs and bronze axe.

My bet is the troops from Mexico fighting with the Spanish werenot Aztec but Tlaxcalans, long-time ennemies of the Aztecs and allies of the Spanish in conquering the Aztec empire, but also Mayan territories, the Tarscan kingdom and large parts of what is now Arizona and New Mexico.

[MontChevalier]

The Spanish, aztecs, incans and several Philippinos fought against the Muslims. Never thought I'd hear that sentence together in my life.

The Moro are still fighting the Filipino government. In Mexico Cortez hired Japanese Samurai to patrol the roads across the colony.

The Philippines - the land of the most unlikely crossovers in history

[jensphiliphohmann]

The title is a bit misleading since though natives were involved, it wasn't a clash between the Ottoman and the Atztec empire.

[zzeegermantube]

Click bait misnommer. The Ottomans did NOT fight the Astecs, the fought Spanish troops / auxiliaries who happened to be from the New World / Mexico. Big difference.

[Wolfen]

Ahh, that darn Spanish Castilian War, they literally fought an early version of WWI there.

[sikViduser]

Mexico is part of North America, not Central America.

Age of Empires III Vibes, when it sounds like alternative history:

[dariusalexandru]

The video is about a battle in south east Asia in whici Spain fight the ottomans and the spanish side may had some aztec people helping in the fight .
Don t give this guy credit by watching the video the title is purposely made for click bait and his scrip seems made by an AI .

[valorwarrior]

Most also didn't even know that the Ottomans even reached Scandinavia and fought the Icelanders, Norwegians, and Swedes during their Ottoman slave trades, and later, the British and the Americans during the Barbary wars.

filipinos dont know this but there are lone words of nahuatl the aztec language in filipinos languages like

Nanay and Tatay, parental terms Nantli and Tahtli in Nahuatl.
Tsokolate, the word for chocolate from the Nahuatl word Xocoatl. It’s also a local version of hot chocolate in Filipino food.
Tiyangge in Tagalog and Tiyanggi in Cebuano mean open air market. These terms in these local languages come from the Nahuatl term tiyanquiztli.
Tisa, chalk in Tagalog and Central Bikol, and Tisas in Cebuano and Maranao come from Classical Nahuatl tizatl.
Paruparo, butterfly in Tagalog, from Classical Nahuatl papalotl.
Tamalis, the local Tagalog word for tamales, from Nahuatl Tamalli.
Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, has contributed several loanwords to the Filipino language. Some examples include "abaka" (from "abacá" meaning "manila hemp"), "chico" (from "chico" meaning "sapodilla fruit"), and "tumpok" (from "tumpoc" meaning "pile" or "stack"). These loanwords reflect the historical interactions between the Philippines and Mexico during the Spanish colonial period, when Nahuatl words entered the Filipino vocabulary through trade and cultural exchange.

This war might actually be the first true world war, featuring fighters from every continent for perhaps the first time in human history

[alanrosete]

Imagine some Tlaxcaltecs jaguar warriors fighting samurais in Japan... it happened, twice lol

[aitornavarro]

Since when is Mexico not part of north america?

[Cele-kr]

First, the Aztecs (actually: Tenochcas) were no natives.
Second, the Tenochcas did not invade and settle anywhere in Central America.
Third, many, who were in the Spanish army, were from peoples liberated from Tenochca barbarity.
Fourth, this is superficial and erroneous history.
