ghhhhhost Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III_Sobieski%2C_King_of_Poland"Upon reaching Vienna, he joined up with the Austrians and Germans. Sobieski planned to attack on the 13th of September, but he had noticed that the Turkish resistance was weak and ordered full attack on September 12, 1683. At 4:00 a.m. Sobieski’s army of about 81,000 men attacked a Turkish army that numbered about 130,000. Sobieski charged with husaria forward and soon after the Turkish battle line was broken as the Turks scattered in confusion. At 5:30 p.m., Sobieski entered the deserted tent of Kara Mustafa and the battle of Vienna was over. In a strange twist of events a statue of John III Sobieski was brought to the city of Gdansk by people from his native land (from Lwów), when they were resettled there. Already John's family had been famous guests in the city. Now the statue overlooks the little park at the old Gdansk town hall, now a museum.King Jan III Sobieski, nicknamed by the Turks the "Lion of Lechistan", and the last great king of Poland, died in Wilanów, Poland on June 17, 1696."The Poles stopped the Ottoman expansion into Europe, and furthermore was never occupied by the Empire. Unfortunately, the Croats, Serbs, Greeks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Ukranians, Armenians and Lebanese on this board cannot boast the same.hey..at least we tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
