see pic

also fun fact : The Ottoman Empire was the only major country in the world which did not recognize the Partitions of Poland and still mantained diplomatic link even after the PLC ceased to exist

>>1936563
Poland could spend the money it assembled to help Austria on rebuilding their state after the Swedish Deluge.

Hussars ain't free.

>>1936868
How were the Polish nobility treated in the countries that absorbed them?

>>1936536
>tfw you will never witness 150,000 turks be destroyed by 90,000 europeans, the largest battle in centuries

why would I want to see that

18,000 cavalry

jesus Christ im sitting here in my chair trying to imagine that

>>1936536
None of this shit ever happened.

>There was no turkish empire.
>The Ottomans were a myth.
>An Islamic Caliphate dominated the area for nearly 200 years and was headquartered at Iraq. Turkey was a puppet state and was the Islamic states final push into europe before their logistics collapsed under their own weight.

Most of it probably wasn't "winged", but were in fact polish "pancerni"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towarzysz_pancerny

Still impressive though.

>>1937102
Except the fucking article clearly mentions hussars and not them.

this is 18000 cavalry 10 ranks deep, really makes you think

If the winged hussars were """"""""""""invincible"""""""""" how come pooland didn't exist on the map for like 200 years

checkmate atheists

>>1937123
Thanks to corrupt nobles.

>>1937117
Except it fucking clearly doesn't.
>John III Sobieski led the charge at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars". The Lipka Tatars who fought on the Polish side...
That's 3,000 Hussars, in case it wasn't clear enough for you.

>>1937102
why do they looks like turks

>>1937051

>>1937137
Exactly you dumb polack. It mentions only hussars and not some fucking memerni.

Polish cavalry was heavily influenced by Ottoman ones. Szabla, the chichack helmet, the stir-ups and saddles.

>>1936563
Because they should've taken the offer of the Ottoman Empire and partitions Austria among themselves, to avoid the future backstabbing of galactic proportions.

>>1937886
>by Ottoman ones

you mean hungarian
szablya is the huszár weapon

Being surrounded by top tier armies. They were located at the gap between western military traditions and eastern horse warfare traditions.

Polacks are subhuman

>>1937123
Because it was destroyed from the inside.

There were no fights or battles, just partition.

What if it was the Ottomans who were influenced by others ?

>>1937976
Hungarians got their szablya by Ottomans as well. Europeans armies didn't use that type of sabre until Turks came to the area, while Turks have been using them since Seljuks, exact type of hilt and crossguard.

>>1938154
They were, they were actually heavily influenced by Polish, especially in their tactics but the equipment is other way around.

>>1936997
They basically wanted to get annexed by one of those 3 countries so

>>1938140
I think it was because the "Commonwealth" had a weak monarchy and was relatively more decentralized.
They failed to effectively reform as it's neighbors kept kicking them while they were down and so they failed to modernize quickly enough.

>>1938348
serbian cavalrymen (nobility of serbia) also influenced ottoman history. you guys might as well check that

>>1938109

Look at Poland now, they barred their borders and are watching the Germans fuck themselves over.
