Wie 300 Spanier 100.000 Umayyaden in einer Höhle ZERSCHLUGEN (Schlacht von Covadonga)

How could just 300 Spaniards defeat an overwhelming Umayyad army? In this video, we analyze the Battle of Covadonga, one of the most decisive battles of the early Middle Ages on the Iberian Peninsula. History shows how terrain, surprise, and religious resistance determined the outcome of a seemingly hopeless battle. The Battle of Covadonga is considered the symbolic beginning of the Reconquista and a turning point in Christian resistance against Muslim expansion in Spain. Using historical sources, tactical analyses, and geographical features, we explain why the Battle of Covadonga is still regarded as a legendary victory of a small force against a vastly superior army.
