Hosts: Chuck & Marco
Music: The Gates of Vienna - BL&C
In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco dive into one of the most pivotal—and surprisingly delicious—battles in European history: the Battle of Vienna (1683). 💥 A massive Ottoman army at Europe’s doorstep. 🛡️ A desperate siege with only 15,000 defenders. ⚔️ A coalition of Christian forces led by Poland’s King Jan III Sobieski. 🐎 And yes… the largest cavalry charge in history.
We break down the geopolitics, the trench warfare, the legendary Winged Hussars, and the myth of how croissants and coffee became unexpected symbols of victory.
This is history at its most epic—and weirdly caffeinated.
