Schwerin Castle "the Neuschwanstein of the North"
In 973, the island was a fort for Polabian Slavs.
In 1160, the Saxons conquered the region under Duke Henry the Lion, defeating the Slavic Chief Niklot. They founded the city Schwerin and built a new fort on the island.
In 1167, the Saxon Duke returned the castle to the son of Niklot to rule as his vassal. The descendants of Nikelot and his son ruled the castle as Princes of Mecklenburg until 1918.
The modern castle was built during the German Renaissance in the 16th Century. It was renovated in the 17th century during the Low Countries Renaissance and again during 19th century Romanticism. -

Bonus post for Unity Day of White History Month; Vasily Arkhipov, the man who saved the world.
Born a peasant near Moscow in 1926, Vasily Arkhipov began his life in absolute poverty. Conscripted into the Soviet navy during WWII, Vasily served as a mine sweeper in the Soviet-Japanese War. During which time 75% of all Soviet ships sank were minesweepers. Having survived WWII, Vasily began serving aboard experimental nuclear-submarines during the Cold War.
In July of 1961, the nuclear submarine Vasily was serving aboard, designated K-19, began having a meltdown in its nuclear reactor. In order to repair the reactors coolant systems, Vasily along with the engineering crew, exposed themselves to extreme levels of radiation. Due to the exposure, every member of the engineer crew died within one month and 15 more crew members died over the next two years but Vasily survived. As a result of his fearless sacrifice, Vasily’s reputation skyrocketed, earning him the rank of Flotilla Commander.
On October 27th 1962, Vasily was serving as Flotilla Commander aboard a Nuclear Submarine in international waters near the coast of Cuba, when a group of eleven US Navy destroyers and an aircraft carrier detected his vessel and began pursuit. Attempting to force the submarine to surface for identification, the Americans began dropping depth charges.
Tensions between these Nuclear superpowers were at an all time high. Far from radio contact, the Captain onboard the Soviet submarine, who the Flotilla Commander is 2nd-in-command to, interpreted this as an attempt to sink their vessel and assumed war had been declared between the US and USSR. Some historians attribute his clouded judgement to the very low levels of oxygen present in submarine cabins.
The Captain ordered a Nuclear torpedo launch on the American aircraft carrier. 3 keys were needed for launch, the three men were Captain Savitsky, Political Officer Maslennikov, and Flotilla Commander Arkhipov. An argument broke out between the three of them, with only Arkhipov against the launch. It is said that 2 of the keys were in. Vasily had no idea whether war had been declared but regardless refused, demanding they surface and possibly face imprisonment.
Ultimately it was Vasily's reputation earned aboard the K-19 which won him the argument. They surfaced, were interrogated and released. Upon return home they faced court-marshal for failing to maintain the secrecy of their mission. In 1998, aged 72, Vasily Arkhipov died of cancer. Few knew in his lifetime of the gravity of his choices but it is very likely that this one man's will prevented a global nuclear war. -

John III Sobieski, King of the Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuanian, could see another Ottoman invasion was coming. The Ottoman sultan Mehmed IV was building his forces and securing his other frontiers. An attack would come soon, on either Krakow or Vienna. In a controversial move for his government, The King extended an offer of alliance to his greatest rivals. The Tsar of Russia Peter the Great, the King of Sweden, and the Habsburg Emperor Leopold. All of whom had taken land from Poland in Sobieski's lifetime during the Deluge from 1648-1666.
On July 14th 1683, Six months after the alliance was signed, the Ottoman army besieged Vienna. 170,000 Turks under Grand vizier Mustafa Pasha with 150 guns. The city was garrisoned with only 11,000 soldiers and 5,000 civilian volunteers. For 60 days, the cities defenders fought back the onslaught of Turks. Falling back through two rings of defenses until they were in the final citadel. The city was on the brink of surrender. Then on September 12th, the relief army arrived. 65,000 Poles, Germans, Swiss, and Cossacks with King Sobieski and his 3000 Winged Hussars in the vanguard. The Polish King led 18,000 cavalry on the largest charge in human history. Smashing into the Turkish army, then numbering around 120,000. The Turkish army broke and fled. 30,000 Turks were cut down in the charge. The Grand Vizier was executed by the Sultan for his failure.
The Great Turkish War had begun. The Christian Alliance of Spain, Russia, Sweden, The Holy Roman Empire and Polish-Lithuania, drove the Turks all the way back to the former borders of Hungary and Bulgaria. All the territory lost in the devastating Battle of Mohacs was now under Christian Habsburg dominion. King John III Sobieski was awarded the title of Defender of the Faith by the Pope, for his heroic actions which saved all of Europe, turning the tide once and for all in the struggle against the Turks.
In 1821, the Greeks launched an independence war against the Ottoman Empire. With support primarily from the Russian Tsar Nicholas I, as well as France and the UK. They forced the Ottomans to accept Greek autonomy in the Treaty of Adrianople and semi-autonomy for Serbia and Romania. After nine years of hard sacrifice on the part of Greece, it was finally recognized as an independent state. Ending a centuries long occupation by the Turks. In 1912, the Balkan nations Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Montenegro rose up in defiance of the Turks. They won the First Balkan war in seven months, May 30th 1913, finally driving the Turks back to Thrace.
