	Article by JD
		The battle of the Lechfeld, which was fought on a rainy Friday in August of A.D. 955, does not figure in any of those books describing the most decisive or most significant battles in world history — books by historians like Edward Creasy or our own Vic Hanson.
		Lechfeld was decisive, very decisive, but it was decisive only for one small and inconsequential nation: Hungary.
		Israel, as I have pointed out elsewhere, is losing the demographic battle, and labors under all the disadvantages that a modern democracy has when dealing with amoral, unprincipled guerillas supplied from a hinterland of hostile states.

	The Doomed Empire - Austria and Hungary
		When the Asiatic Magyars were defeated by the German king, Otto I, at the Battle of the Lechfeld in 955 AD, the German monarch created a new formal government in Charlemagne's Ostmark.
		Ultimately, the House of Habsburg were defeated at the end of the Thirty Years' War, and by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, their centralized control of the Empire was reduced to a loose union of independent states.
		After this battle, the shattered remnants of the Magyars withdrew to the east, leaving behind only scattered traces of their people and racial mix, which soon became largely absorbed into the still overwhelmingly Slavic stock of the region.

		he battle of the Lechfeld, which was fought on a rainy Friday in August of A.D. does not figure in any of those books describing the most decisive or most significant battles in world history — books by historians like Edward Creasy or our own Vic Hanson.
		Unfortunately for them, Otto was a great general, while their own leader — he rejoiced in the name of "Bloody Bulcsu" — was a mediocre one.
		On the other hand, the more I learn about the modern Arabs, the more vast and hopeless appears the failure of their societies — political failure, cultural failure, economic failure, and military failure.
