The Siege of Vienna | European History | Extra History Complete

We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies! Please let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed this, and we look forward to sharing the next one with you all.

Mehmed IV wanted to live up to, and even surpass, the legacy of his forefather Mehmed II, who had secured the Ottomans' inheritance to the Roman Empire through his conquest of Constantinople. So the current Mehmed decided to target Vienna, not knowing its active resistance and elaborate defense buildings designed by Georg Rimpler would prove maddening. So the Ottomans prepared to attack underground, via gunpowder prepared inside mining tunnels.

Yes a classic, especially the Winged Hussars! BTW please make video about private military contractors & maybe even the Battle of Khasham in 2018AD?

It should be noted that France's past time can be easily described as 'screw the Germans as much as possible' until unification. Also, a Landsknecht!
