Download or read book The Siege Of Belgrade 1456 written by Nadia Yero and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siege of Belgrade, Battle of Belgrade, or the siege of Nándorfehérvár was a military blockade of Belgrade that occurred July 4-22, 1456. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror rallied his resources to subjugate the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1456 a young man stood looking at a fortress on a ridge where the River Sava meets the River Danube. The young man was Mehmed, Sultan of the Ottomans. The fortress was Belgrade. As Sultan, Mehmed was a Ghazi, a warrior of Islam, sworn to crush infidels and expand the borders of the Ottoman Caliphate. Three years earlier, at the age of twenty-one, Mehmed had shocked the Christian world by capturing Constantinople, the seat of Emperors. After entering the ancient city in triumph he declared himself the new Caesar. His exploits earned him the title of Conqueror. Mehmed would go on to expand his Empire in Europe, forever changing the course of its history. Defending the fortress was a small band of a few thousand mercenaries, against seventy thousand Ottoman troops. The King of Hungary had fled to Vienna, his nobles abstained from the fight. Europe, exhausted from disastrous Crusades and internecine wars looked on with impotence and apathy. Belgrade did not quite stand alone, however. Janos Hunyadi, the great Hungarian military commander, marched to the aid of the beleaguered citadel. He had bested the Turks in many battles, but defeats at Varna in 1444 and Kosovo in 1448 had weakened his influence among his people. He relied on a few thousand mercenaries against the might of the Ottoman Empire.

Book excerpt: Perched above the confluence of two great rivers, the Sava and Danube, Belgrade has been home to many civilizations: Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Bulgars, Magyars, Ottomans and Serbs. A Turkish fortress, the focus for a Serbian principality, an intellectual and artistic center, the city grew until it became capital of Yugoslavia. Now it is one of the largest cities in south-eastern Europe and capital of the Republic of Serbia. Despite many challenges, Belgrade has resisted assimilation and created a unique cultural identity out of its many contrasting sides, sometimes with surprising consequences.

Download or read book The Enemy at the Gate written by Andrew Wheatcroft and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1683, an Ottoman army that stretched from horizon to horizon set out to seize the "Golden Apple," as Turks referred to Vienna. The ensuing siege pitted battle-hardened Janissaries wielding seventeenth-century grenades against Habsburg armies, widely feared for their savagery. The walls of Vienna bristled with guns as the besieging Ottoman host launched bombs, fired cannons, and showered the populace with arrows during the battle for Christianity's bulwark. Each side was sustained by the hatred of its age-old enemy, certain that victory would be won by the grace of God. The Great Siege of Vienna is the centerpiece for historian Andrew Wheatcroft's richly drawn portrait of the centuries-long rivalry between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires for control of the European continent. A gripping work by a master historian, The Enemy at the Gate offers a timely examination of an epic clash of civilizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did Yugoslavia fall apart? Was its violent demise inevitable? Did its population simply fall victim to the lure of nationalism? How did this multinational state survive for so long, and where do we situate the short life of Yugoslavia in the long history of Europe in the twentieth century? A History of Yugoslavia provides a concise, accessible, comprehensive synthesis of the political, cultural, social, and economic life of Yugoslavia—from its nineteenth-century South Slavic origins to the bloody demise of the multinational state of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Calic takes a fresh and innovative look at the colorful, multifaceted, and complex history of Yugoslavia, emphasizing major social, economic, and intellectual changes from the turn of the twentieth century and the transition to modern industrialized mass society. She traces the origins of ethnic, religious, and cultural divisions, applying the latest social science approaches, and drawing on the breadth of recent state-of-the-art literature, to present a balanced interpretation of events that takes into account the differing perceptions and interests of the actors involved. Uniquely, Calic frames the history of Yugoslavia for readers as an essentially open-ended process, undertaken from a variety of different regional perspectives with varied composite agenda. She shuns traditional, deterministic explanations that notorious Balkan hatreds or any other kind of exceptionalism are to blame for Yugoslavia’s demise, and along the way she highlights the agency of twentieth-century modern mass society in the politicization of differences. While analyzing nuanced political and social-economic processes, Calic describes the experiences and emotions of ordinary people in a vivid way. As a result, her groundbreaking work provides scholars and learned readers alike with an accessible, trenchant, and authoritative introduction to Yugoslavia's complex history.
