Description

After King Wladyslaw managed to pacify the opposition Hungary, he turned his attention to the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, this problem was brought more closely into the attention of other Christian powers. Knights of Saint John, remnants of the Byzantine Empire and Republic of Ragusa were the most active in demands for coordinated offensive against the Turks. The dynastic civil war in Ottoman Empire made these initiatives sound more realistic than before. Pope's first reaction was to send Cardinal Julian Cesarini to aid the pacification of Wladyslaw's opponents in Hungary. Between Cesarini's splendid efforts and Hunyadi's great military leadership, Hungary was more ready for war than ever. Hunyadi won his first crushing vicotory against an invading Ottoman army in Hungary in 1442, and already in 1443 he broke the 80000-strong Ottoman army in Wallachia. These victories and the news of Ottoman defeat against Karaman greatly emboldened the Christian monarchs. Just after Hunyadi's victory in Wallachia, the Pope decided to aid the war effort with a fifth of his annual income. In June 1443, an army of 25,000 with focus on cavalry headed south to attack the Ottomans in Serbia. The army was lead by King Wladyslaw himself and his most loyal vassals: Janos Hunyadi, Djuradj Brankovic and Dracul. In November, Janos Hunyadi lead the charge of 12000 Hungarian knights that completely broke the Ottoman army near Nis. Sofia fell to Christian forces in December. The winter stop the Christian invasion and tired Hungarian soldiers returned to their Kingdom in January 1444. Invasion resumed in June 1444, aided by a fleet made of Venetian and Papal galleys, with Burgundian fleet on its way.

Triggered by

Action A of 301504 - The Weakened Karamani State for Ottoman Empire

Description

The armies of Ottoman Sultan Murad were sent to Anatolia where they defeated Karaman in 1428. In 1444 a treaty was finally signed forcing the Karamani Emir Ibrahim to accept a humiliating treaty which reduced the Karamanis to be Ottoman vassals. This form of new treaty was clearly that of a vassal unilaterally making a promise to his lord to maintain peace and to abstain from actions which would damage interests to his sovereign.

• -10 victory points
• -300 relations with Ottoman Empire
• Angora will no longer be considered a national province
