	TABLE OF CONTENTS
		In approaching the melancholy history of Hungary and Bohemia from 1490 to 1526, one cannot but be struck with the analogies, amounting to complete resemblance, both in the circumstances and in the institutions of the Cech and Magyar kingdoms in the fifteenth century.
		Bohemia, after the fashion of small States hard pressed on all sides by an overpowering empire, was naturally led to intensify her powers of resistance by fanatic nonconformity, and her religious warriors (Ziska, the two Procops) held large parts of central Germany in terror for several years (1419-34).
		His policy towards Louis XII of France, and that towards the Dukes of Milan; his European league against Venice (the so-called League of Cambray), all and everything was utilised by him to flatter, threaten, bribe or cajole Hungary into accepting his House as the eventual heir of the Jagellos.

	Battle Of Mohacs 1526 - History Forum
		Bohemia fell to Austria, who dominated the western third of Hungary and portions of today's Croatia (Royal Hungary), while the Ottomans held central Hungary and suzerainty over semi-independent Transylvania, and northern Hungary remained independent until the late 1500s.
		Hungary was topping on these, and as you know even so the battles between Hungarians and Ottomans were heavy and even the military genius of Hunyadi couldn't win battles like Santimbru/Marosszentimre (1442), Varna (1444) or Kossovopolje (1448), proofs for the raising Ottoman power.
		Between the reign of Mehmed II and Selim I there was a period of weakness for Ottoman empire, so the campaigns of conquest directed to Hungary had to wait until 16th century.
