What do you guys think after watching this 4 min documentary?







The Albanian resistance in Albania between 1443 and 1468 led by George Kastrioti (Skanderbeg) , an Albanian noble and a former member of the Ottoman ruling elite, prevented the Ottoman expansion into the Italian peninsula. Skanderbeg had united the Albanian Principalities in a fight against the Empire in the League of Lezhë in 1444. Mehmed II couldn't subjugate Albania and Skanderbeg while the latter was alive, even though twice (1466 and 1467) he led the Ottoman armies himself against Krujë. After death of Skanderbeg in 1468, Albanians couldn't find a leader to replace him and Mehmed II eventually conquered Krujë and Albania on 1478.

After the successful victory by the Albanians, the Ottoman Empire did not have the strength to attack Western Europe, mainly Italy, for Rome, as the Ottomans lost most of their power against the Albanians.
