    Battle of Grunwald

    The Battle of Grunwald, also known as the (First) Battle of Tannenberg or the Battle of Žalgiris, was fought on 15 July 1410 during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War. The alliance of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, led respectively by King Władysław II Jagiełło (Jogaila), and Grand Duke Vytautas, decisively defeated the Teutonic Order, led by Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen. Most of the Teutonic Order's leadership was killed or taken prisoner.

    Portuguese conquest of Ceuta

    Portuguese forces under the command of King John I conquered the North African city of Ceuta from the Marinid Sultanate on 21 August 1415. The city's defenses fell under Portuguese control after a carefully prepared attack, and the successful capture of the city marked the beginning of the Portuguese Empire. Ceuta remained under Portuguese control until it was transferred to Spain in 1668.

  3. 1415 · Europe · War

    Battle of Agincourt

    The Battle of Agincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453). It took place on 25 October 1415 near Azincourt, in northern France. The unexpected victory of the vastly outnumbered English troops over the French army boosted English morale, crippled France, and began a new period of English dominance in the war. This advantage lasted for 14 years, until England was defeated by France in 1429 during the Siege of Orléans.
