    I don't know why we celebrate the 8th of September as the victory of the great seige. It was a battle that Malta acquired nothing from it !

    hold on my friend, what are you saying??????????? You should think again about it.

    1. first of all, the knights and maltese population had no choice but to fight, surrender was not an option as this would have likely led to the entire population being deported as slaves, just as happened to gozo 14 years earlier.
    2. it was one of the most bloodiest of sieges in history
    3. This was the first true defeat of the ottoman empire in a 100 years, and it did put a check on ottoman expansion
    4. It did boost the morale of the christian nations who were still reeling from a great ottoman victory, the sinking of half of the christian fleet at the battle of Djerba 1560.
    5. The knights and maltese heavily outnumbered and under siege fought against a vastly superior force from more than 3 months and held their ground, losing only Fort St Elmo(with all its garrison killed) to the ottomans. (the population having retreated to the fortified cities)


    This event should make us proud, that against all odds we prevailed, as we did in WWII.

    Mela biex forsi tghallem ftit HISTORY u halliek mil-jets biss, ftakar ghaliex titkellem bil-Malti u mhux bit-Tork jew Gharbi, forsi ghaliex in-nisa ma jilbsux burka, tixrob birra jew inbid, tiekol perzut u ghaliex fil-klassi ghandna salib u mhux nofs qamar!

    Kieku Malta waqet, l-Ewropa kienet taqa ukoll, L'Ottomani kienu ga rebhu l-Balkani, Noth Africa kollha, Malta kienet li stepping stone biex jiksbu sieqhom ghal Sqallija, Italja u so one ... xi haga li wriet li tista issir meta fil-1943 l-Alleati invadu Sqallija u baqu tilghin ...

    Wara l-Assedju grazzi ghal-Ospitalljeri Malta staniet u kienet meqjusa ta sahha ekonimakament u anke militarment!

    Aparti l-Assedju, 8 ta' Settembru tfakkar il-propja glieda ta' Indipendenza tal-Maltin meta qamu kontra l-Francizi u dawn cedew fil-1800 u dawn minfuq reddawulna ghax riedu icedu lill Inglizi u tajnighhom Malta fuq platt tal-fidda!

    F'WW2 it-8 ta Settembru ijha ukoll l-armistizzju tal-Faxxisti Taljani u l-Flotta Taljana dahlet San Pawl il-Bahar biex icedi!

    Antoine, skuzani imma ISTHI tghid dan il-kliem ... kun kburi b'dak li wettqu missirijitna u qed nafguh illum! Personali din BISS missha hi l-gurnata NAZZJONALI Maltija!

    Forsi ta min taqra id-djarju ta' Balbi dwar l-assedju, jekk trid nislifulhekk , halli tifhem kemm kient glieda bla tregwa u l-Maltin kienu qalbienha!

    Skuzani li rambajtekk imma ma niflahx kumment hekk minn hija Malti!

    Ivan, I agree with you perfectly. Had malta fallen, the rest of europe would have been in danger.

    I cannot understand such comments, and it hurts, after all our fathers blood was spilled for our freedom. We are were we are today because of the past with all its glory and sacrifices, good times and bad times. Forgetting our history will only endanger our future. Malta's history started thousands of years ago, not a few years ago!!!

    Agreed the Ottoman Empire was a treath not only to the Christian Protestant Europe but also to Muslim countries. Slaving muslims is denied in the Islam religion, still the Sultan did not care less for his subjects. After Malta which was the end of the Holy Crusades, then came Lepanto which ended their supremacy at sea and finally Vienna, which stopped their encircilment from the other side of Europe. Nonastando, the Ottoman Empire ended in 1918 when finally Lawrence of Arabia created the Arab League and the revolt against them ... we have to give them credit for being one of the best arch enemies the Hospitallers ever had, the Janissaries created enough tremor by naming them only!

    According to Balbi, the Ottomans taught that the native maltese would revolt against their lords and open their hands to the invader, but as Joe said the Maltese new no submission to the Ottomans and only Maltese and Knights did not cross borders during the siege, they new the fight was gonna be to the last!

    Unfortunetly today our politicians make us forget what the people have done and are proad what their parties and leaders have achieved! Unlike USA as the July 14th is the day they glorify, as that made them a nation! May I take the opportunity that today is Sep11, surely this day changed the face of the world!
