Did the Albanians save Christian Europe from an Ottoman Takever?




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.

Obviously the good albanians must have been destroyed in this defense because now the albanians are sided with the ottomans.

I can see this Scanderbeg fella is a national hero, but really only an Albanian would claim he saved Europe. The Ottomans didnt need to defeat the Albanian region to reach Italy, they would just drive up though the old FYR region.

Re: Did the Albanians save Christian Europe from an Ottoman Takever?
The world needs to know the sacrafice albanians made for christianity. Just watch the documentary. imagine how overwhelmned rome would of been if the ottomans took a hold of it. But NO!, we saved christianity..

a nod would be appreciated from those 2 posters above..

and today:

muslim albanians side with the turks, because after the fall of skenderbeg, albanians become leaders in the ottoman empire and were sometimes the leading figures for 400 years.. thats the muslim albanians..

the christian albanians:

alot are in italy (arbresh) they escaped during the ottoman invasion.

christian albanians hate turks and arabs.. very racist towards them.

what? the FYR region? thats east of albania, how could that be strategic for the turks???

fact is, the only way the turks could of had a successful attack on rome would of been through albania, not east or north of it.

You mean illyrians. They were badass and killed many turks but they were killed, raped and forced to assimilate. Who really saved europe from ottoman empire was the polish cavalry at the gates of vienna.

It's a historical fact. He did also convert to islam.

Albanians, Serbians and Croatians are not Illiryans or ancient Greeks just because they mixed with them.

Albanians love to steel other people's religion, culture and history. Just like in Kosovo, the albanian muslims destroyed serbian-orthodox monasteries and now the albanian muslims want to falsify history as to make those serbian monasteries their own. Albanians try to destroy all Serbian presence and culture in muslim occupied Kosovo.

The albanian identity is a long long one. Our language can be traced to that of the palasgians, who were the people before the greeks.

Albanians have always had an identity no matter what, even under roman rule, and ottoman rule, we never deviated from albanian langugage, blood, and culture, truly a one of a kind..

so criticms like yours are uncalled for. Albania today is about 60 percent muslim if that, and the rest christian.

yeah? you wanna go that far? how about this!!! you slavs migrated to europe in the 7th century. europe WAS NOT your home. you come from sibera, russia, its a fact, historical FACT, no denial..

that means slavs are visitors to europe, and the land u claim as serbia was illyrian(albanian) and u came and stole it with your huge numbers. As for Kosovo, it was known was DARDANIA by the albanians..

so i would sit quietly when it comes to land buddy. you stole our land because your not originally from europe..

capish? did i insult u? learn history, and know that albanians are one of the first in the european penisila, outdating germans, and italians, who came only later on.

ok, I didn't realise it was so brief, most people here post really long stuff no-one watches, but that was quite short. Bit difficult for a non-European to comment, never heard of this guy, but yeah it's possibly very significant in staving off the precursor to Islam. Interesting!

Re: Did the Albanians save Christian Europe from an Ottoman Takever?
You cant compare vlad to skenderbeg and the albanians... vlad was defeated, skenderbeg was not!, his defeat was natural death...

vlad did resist the ottoman but he lost... albanians didnt lose, but when our general died, albanians couldnt find a hero with equal charisma and power, which led to our downfall
