The Ukrainian War: Armed Struggle for Eastern Europe in the 16th–17th Centuries. Book 2: The Turkish Breakthrough: The Balkans—The Black Sea Region—The Caucasus (until the End of the 16th Century)

The two-century cycle of armed struggle that changed Eastern Europe unrecognizably in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and set its modern structure was largely determined by the participation of the powerful Ottoman Empire, the main contender for supremacy in this part of the world. This book is devoted to its emergence as a superpower in wars from North Africa, Asia Minor and the Middle East to the Balkans, the Northern Black Sea region and the Caucasus. The author links the development of the armed forces of the Ottoman state from its inception to the last decade of the 16th century with the development of state institutions and ideology, social and ethnic processes. The course of the main wars involving Turkish armies and the activities of Ottoman rulers and commanders are traced. Much attention is paid to the phenomenon of the Early Modern Military Revolution and Turkey's involvement in it. The role that Turkey played in the fate of Eastern Europe makes the study of its military history essential. The book "The Turkish Breakthrough" is the second part of a large-scale study of the now forgotten Ukrainian War - the battle for Eastern Europe in the XVI-XVII centuries. The book is provided with indexes of names, terms and titles.
