Who was Hayreddin Barbarossa?
Ottoman navy’s main strength was Barbarossa as he expanded the ottoman empire. Many fields were conquered by him. He uprooted the oppression of the disbelievers therefore, he is famous as the name of the lion of the Mediterranean.
Barbaroossa’s real name was Aruj Reis. He was called Barbarossa due to his beard in Red colour. Aruj Reis with his brother Oruc Reis went to many operations. Algiers was attacked by the Barbarossa brothers in 1516 and freed the country from the state of Spain. Later, they gave the occupied land to Selim 1 and therefore, Algeria becomes a part of the empire of the Ottomans.
Barbarossa fought many wars and overcame his enemies in every situation. He was the symbol of terror and honour for both his companions and enemies as well. When he died, Turkey announced that ” The Lord of the Sea has died”. Barbarossa is still given the honour in Turkey that in 2019, during the Drill of Naval, the battleships of Turkey paid tribute at his mausoleum.
