Western Civilization II / Unit 3 WC2 0206 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Ottoman Frontier: Vienna 1683 and an Empire on Three Continents
Captions available
The idea
The anchor mentions Austria's Turkish wars without dates. The witness supplies them: the Ottomans reached Vienna in sixteen eighty-three before being pushed back, and at their height held the Middle East, northern Africa and much of southeastern Europe: three continents.
In practice
A Holy League then drove the Turks south.
Where people slip
Witness-built, not the anchor's. The exam's Ottoman question wants the three continents.
