How Hungary STOPPED the Biggest Empire of the Middle Ages | John Hunyadi-Master of Military Tactics.

For decades, Hungary was a terror to Europe.

The devastation of 1241 nearly shattered the kingdom, but Hungary did what it always did: it adapted.

They had swept through Anatolia, crushing Turkish rivals and reducing the Byzantine Empire to a shadow of its former self.

Thessaloniki fell in 1430, and by the mid-15th century, they stood at Hungary’s borders, poised to strike at the heart of Christendom.
But Hungary, standing alone at the gates of Europe, had no intention of falling. It had defeated the Holy Roman Empire. It had defied the Mongols. And now, it would take on the might of the Ottoman Empire. This is the video of how Hungary once again became the shield of the West.
