Date: August 17th, 2026 11:09 PM Author: old goat A man, apparently an old Hungarian monk living in northern France, claimed he saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in which she told him to raise a peasant army to rescue King Louis. From about Easter 1251, a group of perhaps as many as 60,000 followed him, causing disruption, especially conflict with the clergy in several cities, and later began to attack the Jewish population.

Date: August 18th, 2026 12:03 AM Author: old goat They were only interested in Hungary. No one was trying to fuck with Europe. If you knew the first goddamn thing about how the Ottomans prepared for that battle you'd know that you assclown. Do you even know why they lost?

Date: August 18th, 2026 12:04 AM Author: hank_scorpio because the polish fucked them up from the rear before they could breach the walls, yeah I'm sure if they'd won they would have been like "hey poles, we love you guys and the french too!" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894313&forum_id=2,5#50074777) |
|
Date: August 18th, 2026 12:09 AM Author: old goat no, it's because they didn't bring any heavy cannons. The Ottomans could have blasted those walls easily with the technology they had, but they couldn't haul big cannons through the mud in Europe. PS the reason other European armies only showed up at the last minute is because they never felt threatened by the Ottomans. Because they weren't.

Date: August 18th, 2026 12:10 AM Author: hank_scorpio sigh, yes, they failed to breach the walls before the polish arrived, as I said, they were quite close to undermining them though as I recall, they certainly didn't fail for lack of trying to conquer the fucking world (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894313&forum_id=2,5#50074784) |

Date: August 18th, 2026 12:15 AM Author: hank_scorpio I think being stuck in the mud is a problem that can be solved once your've taken a well fortified city in central europe and defeated the alliance arrayed against you, so yeah, if they'd won I think they would have continued to attempt to win more things, but sure I guess the whole islamic expansion was only about the turks great desire for hungary that started 800 years before and when the turks didn't run shit, that's sensible (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894313&forum_id=2,5#50074792) |
|
Date: August 18th, 2026 12:26 AM Author: old goat no it can't, because there's still nothing but mud between Vienna and the next European city. You could build a million heavy cannons in Vienna but you'd still have to drag them through the mud (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5894313&forum_id=2,5#50074810) |
