Localitatea în care s-a dat bătălia prin care Ștefan cel Mare a salvat Moldova de otomani. N-a fost o victorie • Newsweek România

The battle at Războieni in 1476, led by Stephen the Great, was crucial in preventing Ottoman conquest despite being classified as a defeat. Stephen faced an overwhelming force of up to 200,000 Ottoman troops but managed to inflict significant losses, with around 30,000 Turkish casualties. His tactical retreat and subsequent defense of key fortifications allowed Moldova to remain independent for another decade. This battle, although marked as a loss, ultimately thwarted Sultan Mehmed II's ambitions in the region, showcasing Stephen's military prowess and resilience.
