From Constantinople to Vienna: the Ottomans versus Europe. This will be a follow-on to the Byzantium STQ, covering events from the 1453 Ottoman Turkish conquest of the last of the Byzantine Empire in 1453 to the last grand offensive at Vienna in 1683 which went down to defeat in the face of a European coalition. Along the way, great battles such as Lepanto and Malta will be analyzed, as well as elite forces like the Janissaries and Knights of St John. A major emphasis will be on the military and political factors behind the ascendancy of the Ottoman Empire (mainly, being able to act as a unified force), then how the Turks lost this as the European powers advanced with the emerging scientific revolution..
