Commemorating the Battle of Vienna and the Arrival of the Winged Hussars
This meme commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of Vienna, which took place on September 12, 1683. The image features a historical painting depicting the decisive charge of the Polish Winged Hussars, a heavy cavalry unit that played a pivotal role in breaking the Ottoman siege of the city. The Battle of Vienna is widely regarded as a turning point in the Great Turkish War, marking the end of Ottoman expansion into Central Europe. The arrival of the relief forces, led by King John III Sobieski of Poland, is a frequent subject of historical discussion and cultural reference, often associated with the heavy cavalry's dramatic intervention on the battlefield.
And then Poland became the whipping boy of Europe, followed by the partitions, 20 years of weird shit, and two moustached men doing their thing. Now Poland is what it is: a recovering alcoholic.
Patrząc na to co dzieje się z Europą można powiedzieć tylko:
Yup, when the fight was already over
Is that really the only achievement that country ever had or why cant they stop talking about it?
nowdays 42% of school children in Vienna are muslims. about 32% are christian, almost 50-50 orthodox to catholics. Vienna has fallen...
Well,we need them again....
Interestingly enough, the Winged Hussars were only a small part of the reinforcements sent to Vienna. It's not like they won that battle alone.
Que the Sabaton!
Was it worth it? Austria was one of the countries that partitioned Poland
