573 years ago on this date the Battle of Varna also known as the Varna Crusade or Battle of the Nations took place in Bulgaria. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Varna
It was the first organized attempt to push back the T*rks off the Balkan peninsula and free the recently conquered Bulgaria. It failed and they rampaged and enslaved/vassalized all the Balkans and parts of Central Europe until they were stopped centuries later at the gates of Vienna.
20 000 Christian Europeans lead by the Polish-Hungarain King Władysław III (known as Władysław of Varna after this battle) and commanded by the Hungarian noble and general John Hunyadi faced off against 60 000 orks... I mean roaches.... I mean t*rks on the fields of Eastern Bulgaria.
Soldiers from: Bulgaria (literally doing a last stand for their conquered homeland) Croatia Czechia Hungary Lithuania Poland Rusyns or Ruthenes (Russian speaking tribes form the Carpathian region) Saxons Slovenia Vlachs
Crusaders sent personally by pope Eugene IV Teutonic Knights Various western european knights
This is why we will forever be friends with Poland and Hungary. Many things can be forgotten, but debts in blood are not. John Hunyadi sold his own lands to raise money for the army, thousands of Christians died in an attempt not to get rich not to get land, but to free their Christian Bulgarian brothers and sisters. We had big celebrations and official ceremonies today in front of Wladyslaw and John Hunyadi's memorials park and statues.
We lost, but we stood together and fought the roaches as one. Pay your respect to the fallen heroes.
>Facing the desperate circumstance the king, seeing the experienced Hunyadi fight and break the Sipahi cavalry, decided to gamble and directly attack the sultan, who was protected by the guard cavalry and formidable Janissary infantry. The young king was killed while personally leading his own 500-strong royal Polish heavy cavalry company, his charge losing impetus and coming to a standstill amongst the unyielding Janissaries protecting the sultan. The Janissaries killed the king's bodyguard and beheaded Władysław, displaying his head on a pole.

Fucking bump

Thanks bro, but looks like no one is interested in history. Queue the trap and shill threads.
James Campbell
S Do it again Kara Boga.
Colton King
The fuck? Albozerg detected!
William Walker
haha what?Albozergs tried to help you literally 2 years latter,it is even mentioned in your article.
Kevin Gomez
I mean, no way a Serb would cheer for the roaches. If the Varna Crusade had been successful you would have been freed as well.
Jack Sanders
>This is why we will forever be friends with Poland and Hungary. And yet you will always be traitors Russia and enemy in every big war. Country which actually liberated you.
Jason Long
Hmm?We where pretty free at the time,sorry to disappoint you.On the other hand if Bulgaria was freed,what would happen?Another5-6 invasions?No thanks.Ottomans at least brought some good food,so yeah,i would take Roaches over Vulgarians any day.
Colton Ward
I don't understand this kind of attitude. We have always been brothers and friendly. Like 99% of the people here are pro-Russia. I dont know what your problem is, but it's a recent thing. No Russian would have aid such terrible words 20 years ago.
Noah Cox
You were already ha;f enslaved and the other half followed soon after. Don't be ignorant.
Angel Nelson
NZ here, I have no greater brother than he who steps on roaches, one day we will all unite in our shared vision of Ultimate Pest Control
Lincoln Campbell
got a visa into turkey. father in law talked to border guy and told him where we were going by its bulgarian name instead of its stolen name. guard refused to let us in until father in law gave in. he was heated, you guys should take it back.
Kevin Lewis
You lost and now your country is irrelevant
Anthony Nelson
We where Vassals to Hungary which was not biggie,and what the devil are you on about.Entire Mainland Serbia was free.In fact it was a bit Greater at the time,since it had Southern territories like Leskovac.
Zachary Gomez
that is our resident fake-serb shitposter, he is a well known shill
Jackson Clark
Wow thanks for posting this, the roach will have a field day with this one. I give it 4 minutes before he comes here and starts laughing at you "Balkan rapebabies".
Brody Anderson
>Diaspora calling anybody fake I just have plenty of Unorthodox opinions for a Serb.You on the other hand have already fucked off.
Carson Hughes
Ah that explains it. When I see a Serb defending the roaches I assume it's a Kosovo albozerg
Ryder Smith
Kosovo has an Albanian IP by now,so that argument goes out of the window.
Liam Williams
maybe i'm confusing you with somebody else then, you have the exact same typing style
Leo Perez
Poland had some badass army back than
Landon Morgan
Even so, you are clearly an Albanian.
Source: no Serb will ever stand with a roach.
Jason Hall
Probably not,like i said my opinions are unorthodox for Serbs.You could have seen me posting before,and have proclaimed me a shill.But hey,what is there to argue about in this,do you see any Serbs fighting in OP's link?Of course not,it was not in their interest at all.So by your logic,entire Medieval Serbia was shilling kek.
Caleb Richardson
That;s pretty based.
Noah Moore
Expect Lazarevic,Brankovic,Angelovic,Mihajlo Latas etc.Fucking lmao @ your life.

>t. shiptar
Jeremiah Gutierrez
How similar is the Bulgarian language to Russian?
Noah Mitchell
Ne lupetaj,Kamen,svi Siptari na Sup Forums-u shilluju da nisu Muslimani.
Dominic Jenkins
Very. We gave them the slavic alphabet. Bulgarian is harder and sharper, Russian is more flowing and soft.
We can understand each other without learning the other language altho not easily.
Carter Peterson
I've never heard of this so I'm pretty sure it's not important
Michael Jackson
:^)
I give you a pass cuz when I was in the US I met some very well-read and intelligent people.
Joseph Gray
DAY OF BUG SPRAY WHEN?!
Grayson Stewart
Indeed,the only important thing about this Battle is that is the starting Point of EU4 lmao.
Justin Martinez
Your a Half-breed?How disgusting.
Kayden Williams
>being proud of losers lmfao how pathetic can europoors be?
Sebastian Watson
It's part of the reason why mudslimes are everywhere
William Gutierrez
Thanks mate
The fallen heroes deserved recognition for selflessly marching to fight the roach hordes.
If not for the Venetian merchant betrayal we could have won.
Angel Miller
Another bump from pic related. Hail to my brave Slavs and those who helped them.
Bentley Torres
I't better to fight and die than submit to defeat and slowly die on your knees while getting more stupid and fat, Jose.
In two generations most of US territory will look like a mix of Mexico and Brazil. I'm not sure why are you happy and self-confident, Daquan.
Matthew Torres
>selflessly >fighting for spoils >selfless
Cooper Long
Did you bother reading about the battle? No? Shut your whore mouth then. The army came to free us and push back the roaches not to fight for spoils or land.
Samuel King
Polish hussars raped the ottomans so hard in this battle.
Actually according to portugal legend he became a pilgrim and moved to Portugal, where he married some Portugal magnate's daughter who gave him a son. This son was Columb.
Jackson Brown

if we had winged hussars back then, the world might be a different place
poor fucking Władysław growing up he must have heard such wonders about 1410... about his father and his grand victory - no wonder he went all or nothing

Fucking Venetians. The original merchants. 1204, never forget.

14 of November, 99 years ago my grandad marched in to Mosul. The end of the Mesopotamian campaign, that finished the Turks and the ottoman empire. Well done grandad.
