ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The battle of Varna (10 November 1444) was an outcome of the last great “crusade”, undertaken by Western powers, particularly Hungarians, Serbs, Venetians and the Pope, in order to stem the Ottomans’ advance into Europe. This particular “crusade” included a series of expeditions in the wider Danube area during 1443-1444, negotiations (truce of Adrianople, July 1444), as well as the campaign culminating in the battle of Varna (September-November 1444), which was decisive for the geopolitical balance in the Balkans. |
