Albanian–Ottoman Wars (1432–1479)

Common card · No. 401284

The Albanian–Ottoman Wars (1432–1479) were a series of wars and revolts against the rising Ottoman Empire by Albanian feudal lords. The wars and revolts took place in present-day Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and South Serbia. In this period, Albanians under the leadership of Gjergj Arianiti and especially later under Skanderbeg resisted the Ottomans under two Sultans. Skanderbeg continued this resistance until his death in 1468, and the Albanians persevered for another 11 years before being defeated.
