Explorations - (Page 66) The Great Siege of Malta MALTA WAS ONE OF THE LAST OBSTACLES LYING BETWEEN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND ITS INTENDED CONQUEST OF EUROPE. A FAST AND EASY VICTORY WAS ANTICIPATED. WITH 40,000 MEN AGAINST MALTA’S FORCE — THE WARRIOR MONkS kNOWN AS THE kNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN — OF JUST 9,000. YET FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE TURkS SAILED HOME IN BITTER DEFEAT WITH ONLY A QUARTER OF THEIR ARMY INTACT.
