Understand the point about Cortez, but the fact that Vlad Tepes fought against the Ottomans under Mehmed is pretty much the most important thing in his biography.

Don't remember much about Vlad and Mehmed, but I remember cannons were very important

This isn't too surprising, Spain and the Ottoman Empire were mortal enemies, the real crossovers were the Castilian War and Battles of Cagayan, where Spanish conquistadors and Tlaxcalan warriors fought Ottoman Janissaries and Japanese samurai in Southeast Asia

That one sounds like an age of empires game lol

It doesn't say anything about ottomans... Maybe it's the wrong battle, but I know of no ottoman soldier reaching the Filipinos, at maximum aceh.

Ok now I understand, they are ottoman soldiers sent to aceh, I don't think they are janissaries sadly.

The greatest crossover episode for me personally is the Mughal Empire and the French teaming up to beat the brits

Important people did more than one thing in their lives and met other important people of their time, who would have thought

Edited

Mongol hordes pretty much exists in many series as well though they play a much larger role in the Abbasid and Chinese dynasties series being an-out-of-context final villain for the former and one of the Chinese series main villain(though the Japanese takes the spot later on beginning in the 1800s) the MC later on as Yuan dynasty but also other dynasties and kingdoms as well like the Ilkhanate etc.

They also have some occasional appearance in the Japanese series and Vietnam as well as Java etc as a looming threat but ultimately nothing major come out of it.

My favorite, although lesser known, crossover episode is when Mussolini's Fascists and Italian partisans teamed up to fight the invading French army.

During the Ruso-Japanese war, at the Battle of Tsushima, the Japanese Battleship Mikasa was struck by a Russian shell, the splinters of which took a couple fingers off the hand of a young midshipman named Isoroku Yamamoto.

In the 1850s, US Secretary of War Jefferson Davis was successfully convinced that camels would make good pack animals in the southwest, and so a trial base was set up in Texas, in 1856. They'd be utilized infrequently, with the last operational use occurring in 1860, with orders signed by the commander of the Texas Department of the US Army, a Lt. Colonel Robert E. Lee.

In 1756, in what is now Pennsylvania, a British workcrew, constructing a fort to defend the area against French aggression, is driven off by a large group of angry French Canadians, who believe that the area is within France's claims. In response, the British colonial government commissions a 22-year old Lt. Colonel by the name of George Washington to raise a force to go and ensure the completion of the fort. Instead of doing this, though, he locates the Canadian's encampment, and chooses to ambush it at night. France and Brittan are not at war, so this is a major provocation, and plays a large part in the starting of the 7 Year's War.
