This military disaster ended Hungarian independence for 150 years.

COMPLETE HISTORICAL CONTEXT The Ottoman Empire in 1526 was at the height of its power. Suleiman I, nicknamed "the Magnificent" in the West and "the Lawgiver" in the East, ruled the most powerful empire in the world. His army of 60,000 to 100,000 men was equipped with the best military technology of the time: field cannons, arquebuses, and, above all, the fearsome janissaries. Faced with this Ottoman war machine, the Kingdom of Hungary was tragically weakened. The young Ludwig II could muster only 25,000 to 30,000 men. Worse still, John Szapolyai, Prince of Transylvania, did not come with his troops. Christian Europe, preoccupied with its own quarrels (Charles V versus Francis I), abandoned Hungary to its fate.
