The Battle of Mohács took place on August 29, 1526, between the forces of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The battle was a significant conflict during the Ottoman expansion into Europe, resulting in a decisive victory for the Ottomans led by Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. This defeat marked the beginning of the end for the independent Kingdom of Hungary. Following the battle, the Ottomans gained control over much of Hungary, leading to a period of Ottoman rule that lasted for over a century. The loss at Mohács also contributed to the fragmentation of Hungary into various territories, influencing the region's political landscape for years to come.
