| When Europe Almost Became Muslim - The Battle of Lepanto |
The Ottoman Empire had never lost a naval battle. Until October 7th, 1571. A Christian commander was skinned alive. His flesh was stuffed with straw and paraded as a trophy. Six weeks later, 400 warships and 100,000 men collided in the Gulf of Patras.
The Mediterranean Sea turned red for miles. This is the Battle of Lepanto. The last crusade. The day the Ottoman fleet was crushed. And the story they don't teach in schools.
The battle of Lepanto was not just a momentary victory of the Christian league of nations. It, similarly to battles of ThermoPylae or Alamo, served as an inspiration to free people standing up against oppression, slavery and subjugation against impossible odds!
Are you all beginning to see why Vlad The Impaler was right and a hero!It inspired generations to believe that resistance is not futile, that the cause of Freedom is the greatest cause worth fighting and if need be dying for! The strength of free people is in their unity! Long live the memory of Lepanto, where free people took a stand for their rights and united by a noble cause won!
