Istanbul Military Museum Mohac battle October 2016 9271.jpg

The Battle of Mohács took place on 29 August 1526 near Mohács, in the Kingdom of Hungary. It was fought between the forces of Hungary, led by King Louis II, and the invading Ottoman Empire, commanded by Suleiman the Magnificent and his grand vizier, Pargalı Ibrahim Pasha. The Ottomans achieved a decisive victory. In 1687 the Ottomans were beaten, I think because of the gear (and national pride) this is the first of two battles.
