Hussars

Hussars are a type of light cavalry that originated in Hungary during the 15th century. Known for their speed and agility, they were used for reconnaissance, skirmishing, and as fast-moving troops in battle. Hussars became popular in various European armies, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are often recognized by their distinctive uniform, which typically includes a decorated jacket, a fur hat known as a busby, and colorful sashes. Hussars played a significant role in many historical conflicts, showcasing their skills in both traditional warfare and in more mobile, modern tactics.
