August 29th, 1526, Mohács, Hungary.
The Battle of Mohács, was the end of the Kingdom of Hungary. In the year 1522 King Louis II of Hungary married Mary of Austria, creating an alliance between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire. Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent saw the alliance between the Jagiellonian and Habsburg houses through marriage as a threat to Ottoman domination over the Balkans. In early 1526 Suleiman gathered an army of 100k men and 300 cannons to invade Hungary, taking advantage of Hungary being in a weakened state from a civil war a few years earlier. In early spring the Ottomans invaded Hungary, the Hungarians initially used hit and run tactics on the advancing Ottomans. By early July the Ottomans approached the town of Mohács. By this point King Louis had assembled an army of 30k men and 85 cannons at Mohács. By late August the Ottomans arrived at Mohács. The Hungarians argued about a battle plan, but eventually deployed for battle. The Hungarians had cavalry on the left and right flanks, with a larger amount of cavalry on the left and infantry in the center.
By the morning of August 29th the Ottomans began the battle by sending light cavalry in an outflanking maneuver to skirmish with the Hungarians. Ottomans were then sent forward to construct a camp closer to Mohács. Pál Tomori a Hungarian commander observed the Ottomans constructing their camp and ordered his cavalry on the left flank to charge the Turks. Tomori sent word to Louis to attack after his charge was seeing some success against the Ottomans. The Hungarian center and right were slow to join the battle and by the time they did the remainder of the Ottoman forces joined the battle. Eventually the overwhelming numbers of the Ottomans caused the Hungarian cavalry to flee the battle, the infantry became surrounded and crushed. The Hungarians lost 14k men the Ottomans 2k. King Louis died in the retreat as well from falling off his horse and drowning in the Danube river.
The Hungarians had an additional 25k soldiers and mercenaries scattered throughout the kingdom, had Louis managed to unite these forces with his army and fought from the much more defensible Hungarian capital of Buda(Budapest), victory or a much more difficult and costly battle for the Ottomans may have been achieved. After the defeat at Mohács the Kingdom of Hungary was spilt, The HRE took the northwest section witch became Royal Hungary, the Eastern half became independent and became known as the Voivode of Transylvania, the Southern half Sulieman took for the Ottomans. It would be another 150+ years before the HRE defeated the Ottomans at a second Battle of Mohács and freed Hungary. -

Today begins the jewish "holiday" of hanukkah, so let's take a look at the real history behind it. After Alexander the Great's death in 323BC his empire was split amongst his generals. One of them was a man by the name of Seleucus I Nicator who founded the Seleucid Empire. In the year 170BC the Seleucid Empire had defeated Ptolemaic Egypt during the 6th Syrian War and gained full control of the Levant, including the province of Judea. In 168BC Seleucid Emperor Antiochus IV had plans to Hellenize the Levant and ordered a statue of the Greek God Zeus to be built outside of the jewish temple in Jerusalem. Because of this many jews gave up their religion and willingly converted to the Greek religion.
In 167BC a jew by the name of Mattathias began what would become to known as the Maccabean Revolt when he refused to sacrifice a pig on the alter of a Greek temple then killed the man who volunteered to take his place and desecrated the alter and fled the city into the hill. One year later Mattathias's son Judas gathered like minded jews began a violent revolt, going into towns and massacring any Greek or jewish convert they could find and also began forcibly circumcising children, as well as destroying Greek temples. The Seleucid Governor was informed of the revolt and a Seleucid Army of around 30k was dispatched to crush the revolt. The jews fought a guerilla style war against the Seleucids, for many years and in 164BC the Seleucids withdrew to Syria due to Antiochus's death. The jews believed this was a sign they had won and built a new temple to commemorate.
This event was completely forgotten by jews until around the 1890's when jewish rabbi's decided to turn the event into a holiday as a means of mocking the Christian Advent calendar and Christmas. -

While the exact date that Leif discovered America is unknown, October 9th was chosen due to in the year 1825 a large number of Norwegian immigrants arrived in America on that day.

This is what a vast majority of Americans need to understand, our history doesn't begin at 1776, it's much older than that. -

Today is the anniversary of when King Jan(John) Sobieski of Poland broke the two month long second Siege of Vienna by leading one of the largest cavalry charges in history with over 30k Polish and German horsemen with Sobieski and 3k Winged Hussars leading the charge(and Sobieski doing this while being overweight and almost sixty years old). Sobieski's charge broke the moral of the Ottomans and forced them to flee the battle. The Battle of Vienna became one of Europe's great victories over the Ottomans. After the Battle of Vienna the Ottoman military power rapidly declined in the region and they lost most of their territory in the Balkans to emerging European powers. Also random facts the jews were thrown out of Vienna in 1670 and from Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1650(which prevented the Gates of Vienna from being opened to the Turks).

#WhiteManWednesday
Otto I or Otto the Great was born on November 23rd 912 to Henry the Fowler, Duke of Saxony, and his wife Matilda in Wallhausen, East Francia(Modern-day Germany). Otto was one of four children. Not much is known about his early life until the year 929. In the year 929 Otto was serving as a military commander defending the German Kingdom's borders against raids by Slavic tribes from the east. In 930 Otto's father Henry sent Otto to England to have an arranged marriage for Otto with an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman named Eadgyth to strengthen alliances with the Anglo-Saxons. On July 2nd 936 Henry passed away and on August 7th Otto was crowned King of the Germans. In 937 Eberhard the Duke of Saxony revolted against Otto's rule and Otto was forced to invade his province and by 938 put down the rebellion. Another rebellion occurred in 938 which Otto quickly put down. By 940 Otto had managed to fully stabilize his kingdom.
Over the next ten years from 941 on Otto began consolidating his power and reforming the government. In 951 political turmoil broke out in Northern Italy causing Otto's son Liudolf to invade Lombardy to take advantage of it. Liudolf's army did not preform well and eventually Otto raised an army to rescue his son's army from disasters. By September 23rd Otto's army subdued all of Northern Italy and Otto now possessed most of Charlemagne's territory. Otto then made Berengar II who was King of Italy, his vassal. On Christmas of 951 Otto's son Liudolf began a revolt against his father over the Italian campaign. Otto managed to put down the rebellion in 954. In late 954 the Magyars(Hungarians) sensing the German Kingdom's weakness from the civil war invaded and began sacking German cities. On August 12th 955 Otto and the German Army defeated the Magyars at the Battle of Lechfeld and drove the Magyars out of German lands. While Otto was fighting the Magyars, the Slavs invaded the Northern German lands. Otto then defeated the Slavs at the Battle of Recknitz on October 16th of 955 and drove them out. The victories against the Magyars and Slavs helped stabilize Otto's kingdom as well.
In 957 Berengar II rebelled against Otto and in response Otto launched a military expedition into Northern Italy. In 960 Berengar's army attacked the Papal States and Pope John XII asked Otto for aid against Berengar. By 961 Otto had conquered Northern Italy and this time incorporated it into his kingdom. On January 31st 962 Otto traveled to Rome and was given a ceremony and crowned King of the Romans or Holy Roman Emperor by Pope John XII, transforming the German Kingdom back into the Holy Roman Empire created by Charlemagne. Latter in the 960's Otto brought most of the duchies of Central Italy under his sphere of influence, however this ended up angering the Byzantine Empire, as they being the true inheritors of the Roman Empire believed, Italy and Rome should be under their control(this tension would also eventually cause the Catholic and Orthodox Churches to split many decades later in the Great Schism). On May 7th 973 Otto the Great, passed away at the age of 60 having re-founded the Holy Roman Empire which would last until the early 1800's. -

#WhiteHistoryMonth The Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks
In the 1600's Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire demanded that the Zaporozhian Cossacks in modern-day Ukraine submit to Ottoman rule through a letter, the Cossacks replied with this:
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Christian sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.
You Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw your own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse! -

June 22nd 217B.C. Raphia(Rafah) Palestine.
After Alexander the Great's death in 323B.C. his empire was spilt among his generals also known as the Diadochi. The two largest portions went to Seleucus I Nicator who founded the Seleucid Empire and Ptolemy I Soter who became Pharaoh of Egypt and started the Ptolemaic dynasty of pharaohs. For many years the Seleucid Empire and Ptolemaic Egypt fought over the region known as Cole-Syria(modern-day Syria, Lebanon, and Northern Palestine). In 219B.C. Seleucid Emperor Antiochus III invaded the region and captured a vast amount of territory, with the aid of the Governor of Tyre Theodotus, who switched sides from Egypt to the Seleucids. In 218B.C. Pharaoh Ptolemy IV began gathering an army to reclaim the region from the Seleucids. By mid-218B.C. he set out for the Levant. By mid 217B.C. both armies had met near the town of Raphia.
The Ptolemaic Army had 75k men, 70k infantry, 5k cavalry, and 73 elephants. The Seleucids had 70k men, 64k infantry 6k cavalry and 102 elephants. The Seleucid elephants were Indian elephants which were much larger than the African elephants used by the Ptolemaic. These were also two of the largest armies assembled during the Hellenic Era. Both sides initially constructed fortified camps, and foraged the area for food where they fought small skirmishes against each other. During this time Theodotus came up with a daring plan and snuck into the Ptolemaic camp, located Ptolemy IV's royal tent, but when he entered the tent he did not find Ptolemy but his doctor who he ended up killing and managed to exit the camp unnoticed. On June 22nd Ptolemy assembled his army for battle and Antiochus assembled his army as well.
Ptolemy placed himself on the Ptolemaic left flank and Antiochus commanded the Seleucid right flank. The battle started when both sides sent their elephants forward to attack, but as the elephants fought many of the African elephants were said to have become disturbed by the smell of the Indian elephants, which ended up causing many of the African elephants to run off the battlefield. Antiochus took advantage of this and ordered the entire Seleucid right flank to attack, which resulted in the collapse of the Ptolemaic left flank and Antiochus chased them off of the battlefield. Ptolemy escaped and took command of his center. The Ptolemaic right then advanced on the Seleucid left. Ptolemy then had his center advance on the Seleucid center. Ptolemy's center had significantly more men than the Seleucids, so after hard fighting both the Seleucid center and right had broke. Antiochus who was still chasing after the fleeing soldiers from the Ptolemaic left, had just been informed by a messenger that his center and right had collapsed. Antiochus and his men turned around to head back to the battle, but by that time it was too late. Antiochus withdrew to his camp.
The Ptolemaic had lost 2k men, while the Seleucids had lost over 10k. The Battle of Raphia was considered to be one of the largest of the Hellenic Era. Despite Antiochus's loss at Raphia he would later go on to be one of the greatest Seleucid emperors expanding the empire's borders to it's largest extent and earing the title of Antiochus the Great. -
