Please specify why you selected it
I have chosen battle of Varna because it opened the gates for ottoman expansion in Europe

At first, I was thinking the Fall of Istanbul, as that cemented the rule of the Ottoman Empire, finally eliminated the Byzantine Empire, and, I'm pretty sure, ultimately resulted in the beginnings of Portuguese exploration in order to avoid the Turkish dominated trade routes.
But at Varna, the Hungarian and Polish Kings were both killed (I believe, I know Wladyslaw III died, not too sure about the Hungarian King), and following the Battle, a Lithuanian king was placed on the Polish throne, which would ultimately result in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth being formed. And, with the Hungarian King dead, Hungary began its collapse, beginning Habsburg and Ottoman invasion of the region. And, like you have said, it opened the way for Ottoman expansion.

THe king wasn't there, and the commander, Hunyadi Janos (yes, that Hunyadi whose son was Matthias Corvinus) lived for like 12 more years. |

I'd argue that that era was a slight resession for hungary, but not total decline. |

The other guy, who John Hunyadi here was regent, was a certain Ladislaus the Posthumous. They had a little civil war about the throne when Varna happened. Guess who was the only happy person in Hungary that day? |
