The Siege of Vienna in 1683
The Siege of Vienna in 1683 was one of the most important battles in history. The Ottomans, a powerful Muslim Empire, had conquered vast territories but failed to capture Vienna, a stronghold of the Holy Roman Empire. With a mighty army of 150,000 soldiers, including fierce Muslim horse archers and Christian soldiers trained by the Ottomans, they aimed to use massive cannons to break through Vienna's walls. However, Vienna, though poorly prepared, resisted the siege. The people of Vienna, aware of the consequences if they surrendered, defended their city against 18 brutal attacks by the Ottomans.
