Our animated historical documentary series on the Ottoman history continues with the naval battle of Preveza fought in 1538 between the alliance of Spain, Habsburgs, Venice, Genoa, Papal States called the Holy League and the Ottoman Empire. The navies were led by Andrea Doria and Hayreddin Barbarossa. This sea battle set the tone for the centuries of the naval battles fought in the region and became a crucial front for the Ottoman-Habsburg conflicts.

Barbarossa is terribly underrated admiral in the history..
@Ome99 5 years ago

So he: -Understood the importance of a strategic site, promptly secured and fortified it before the enemy. -Tactically prepeared before the fight, accounting for sails (their disadvantage) and rellying on galleys instead. -Didn't attack on the enemies' terms. -Attacked a numerically stronger and bigger enemy w/o hesitation the moment he thought it was most upportune to do so. -Did NOT over extend. He saw through Doria's bait. Man, he really used a cool mind at every step.

Barbarossa deserves a movie or at least something like an HBO series

"Barbarossa" aka "The Red Beard" deserves a movie made about him. The Black Beard has nothing on him.

A farmer who has never seen war before, rescues his brother who was captured by the Hospital knights with his merchant ship, and then turns into real marine commander. This is a very impressive story.

It never ceases to amaze me how major historical battles are usually won by generals who are: 1. Are bold enough to strike while the iron is hot 2. Wise enough to know when said iron is not hot 3. Employ superior communication/logistics/unit mobility and cohesion. All of this sounds obvious but it is so astonishing to see so many generals being hesitant or being bold to the point of idiocy or have a general not stop and think that a force composed of a myriad of unit types that have never fought together before and may not even speak the same language could lose to a smaller, battle hardened homogeneous (mostly) force. Really just blows me away. I loved learned about Hayreddin! Great vid as per usual!

Andrea Doria:I am the admiral of one of the best navy in the world. Barbaros Hayreddin:I am about to end this mans whole career.

Whenever I research medieval or early modern Mediterranean history, I'm always consistently stumped by Christian Europe's ability to sabotage itself through legendarily poor teamwork.

In fact, the real 'red beard' was his big brother Oruç Reis. Hızır had a brown beard and brown hair. However, after seeing his big brother killed with his own eyes, he decided to dye his beard red for the rest of his life in his brother's memory and took an oath that he would not lose any war.
