Скачать или смотреть Europe's Forgotten Shield: How ONE Country Saved the Continent for 150 Years (AI Reconstruction)

For 150 years, a single nation stood between the Ottoman Empire and the conquest of Europe. While the rest of the continent prospered, Hungary bled as Europe's forgotten shield, sacrificing everything to protect Western civilization.
This is the untold story of how Hungary became the battlefield that saved Europe—and the brutal price paid for that protection.
In 1526, at the Battle of Mohács, Hungary's army was annihilated in less than two hours. King Louis II drowned fleeing the battlefield. The kingdom's military elite was wiped out. And the Ottoman Empire, led by Suleiman the Magnificent, carved the country into three pieces, beginning 150 years of unimaginable suffering.
Cities were razed to the ground. Cultural treasures vanished forever. Hundreds of thousands were enslaved. Children were torn from their families and converted into Janissaries. The population dropped by over a million people. Hungary became a wasteland of constant warfare, double taxation, and perpetual raids.
Yet through it all, Hungarian fortresses like Eger and Szigetvár held the line. Heroes like Captain István Dobó and Miklós Zrínyi led impossible defenses against overwhelming odds. And while they fought, Europe built Versailles, established empires, and accumulated wealth—forgetting the shield that protected them.
This documentary reveals the complete story: from the catastrophic defeat at Mohács, through the heroic sieges of Eger and Szigetvár, to the devastating 150-year occupation that nearly destroyed an entire civilization. Discover how Hungary saved Europe, and why Europe forgot.
