Hungarian–Ottoman War (1366–1367)

The Hungarian–Ottoman War (1366–1367) was the first confrontation between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans. The war ended with a Hungarian victory, as Louis I's armies defeated the Ottomans in a battle near Nicopolis, although the outcome of the battle is still questioned by Turkish sources.
