🚩 Skanderbeg, a national hero of the Albanians, was the first to organize a league of Albanian princes, over which he was appointed commander in chief, in 1444. For twenty two years, in the period 1444-66, he effectively repulsed 13 Turkish invasions. His successful resistance to the Ottoman armies made him a hero throughout the Western world.

Skanderbeg is forgotten in Europe today, but back then he was THE STAR. The Pope even wanted to make him the leader of the new Crusade, but unfortunately he died in Ancona. He was awarded the title "Athleta Christi". Fought against the Ottomans, at that time the most powerful army in Europe and Asia Minor, and at the same time against the Venetians, who also had very good armies. And he traveled to Naples to help the local ruler in suppressing a revolt. Even Sultan Mehmet, the conqueror of Constantinople, had great respect for him and called him the shield and sword of Europe. Even Vivaldi wrote an opera in his name. He won 25 battles against the Ottomans, which, as already mentioned, had the most powerful army in Europe and Asia Minor, and always outnumbered, sometimes even 3 times behind. Who knows how many more victories he won in his time with the Ottomans? Anyone who says Skanderbeg is nothing special is quite simply an idiot.

Greetings to the Albanians from your friends in Bulgaria! Skanderbeg is legendary. He lived and fought during the darkest age in the Balkans. The Black Death had decimated the population, the Christians were disunited and fragmented into multiple feudal states and thus fell to the Ottomans. Still he fought to the end!

The fact of knowing the tactics of his adversaries made him a very difficult opponent for the Ottomans, I hope to see more videos about his history.

FUN FACTS : 1- Skenderbeg( Đurađ castriot) was Orthodox Serbian by momther side , Epiriot from father side . 2- He was part of Ottoman army but he run away with fake Ferman (sultan order paper) where he with that fake paper took under control mutiple castles . 3- He became Vasal of Napoli and is known to live there for majority of his life and died there from malaria illness. 3- His wars in Kruja that many people know that he was commander was false those wars were part of christian alliance from papat state , venetia , Napoli , etc where 100k troops take part . All albania land had not that many people from baby to old ones. 4- He was unwanted by local population and lords like lek dukagjini , karl topia , Arianit golemi and even his nephew Hamza kastriot fight agaist him . 5- His figure was unknow among albanians until 1920 after christian powers created albania they aslo created their heroes as they wanted . ( By the way this video albulena if you study it was just guerrilla ambushed attacks agaist Ottamans and not regular war , today modern counties call that war , terrorist war . )

Not that obvious, some men thrive in defensive wars, taking advantage of terrain, troops morale and enemy overconfidence, but aren't very good at exploiting large armies and numerical advantages. Take Robert E. Lee, for example. His greatest victories were defensive battles against superior northern numbers, but as soon as he went on the offensive, he got beaten back. Ultimately, it was Grant's mastery of logistics and good use of his numbers and industrial advantage that allowed him (who, by all acounts, wasn't a "tactical genius", unlike men like Mc Clellan) to overcome Lee. Then again, it was a particular context. As were Skanderberg's times and achievements. Don't get me wrong, the man is a genius, but it's a bit of a shortcut to think he'd have been just as great a conqueror as he was a defender for his people.

My ancestors come from northern Albania. Ottoman Turks occupied Albania lands eventually but at an extreme cost which stopped them from further invading Europe. Albanians were the gatekeepers that stopped Ottoman Turks from taking Vatican. If it were not for the Albania sacrifice Vatican would probably be called Istanbul today. Imagine being able to occupy a country or people for 500 years and yet still fail to conquer or assimilate the people. That’s because Albanians already had a developed identity, culture and langue that you could not destroy. Scanderbeg was the mortar that put all these ingredients together and solidified Albanian identity and country. Ottomans invaded the land and found the eagle people who would not kneel to no one. The only thing that makes me sad today is how many history books and ancient artifacts Ottomans destroyed as a sign of revenge to Albanians for resisting. A proud Illyrian here!!! Survived Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans. They all are gone but Albanians still here today. 😂

people say that skanderbeg had the advantage of knowing ottoman tactics, but there are hundreds of balkan generals in the ottoman ranks and never achieved what skanderbeg achieved.(also people act like the ottomans didnt know what tactics skanderbeg used in battle, they even had his nephew show them all of his tactics before the battle of albulena and he still defeated them having only 8k soldiers against 80k turks.) he was already an incredible general in the ottoman army and the sultan really loved him. his first battles actually happend in anatolia for the turks and also won all of them.

That’s because they have no history at all. They are Russian leftovers the migrated to Europe and occupied land. Lying is part of Serbian DNA. You have to remember that even their name is Albanian. Serb is derived from Albania Shërbej or Shërbtor. They are nothing more than our servants who rebelled and occupied some our our land.
