With his victory at Panipat, Babur forged the Moghul dynasty, an empire of unimaginable wealth and power that reshaped the destiny of India. For two centuries, its rulers commanded vast armies, built wonders that defied time, and presided over a civilization unmatched in splendor. But even the mightiest of empires must bow to the wheel of history, and in the 18th century, the Moghul dynasty fell, swept aside by the relentless advance of British colonial domination.
Panipat. April, 21 1526.
Hindustani Forces: ~ 40,000 Soldiers and up to 1,000 War Elephants.
Moghul Forces: ~ 10,000 Afghan Soldiers and up to 5,000 Allied Soldiers.

Great work. Keep it up ! 😀👍

Very nice series thank you
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you. 🤜💥🤛
A classic case of Japanese ambitions & objectives exceeded its resources & capabilities.
Audacious, in the very least. Third wave, had their admiral launched it, would have changed so much in the Pacific Theater.
Another wave of Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor would not have changed the results much. A comparison of the resources of the two sides can be judged from the fact that Japan had 18 aircraft carriers at the peak of its strength. At the end of WWII, it had only 4 carriers left. The US had 99 carriers at the end of WWII!
Losing Hawaii at the outset would have dramatically changed the course, not the outcome, of the war. I discuss this in the episode.
Ok 3Min in im all in👍

The rise of the Redcoat!
Fake. No video
It’s an audio podcast, listed as a podcast, my friend.
Moorish rule of Spain has been heavily romanticised and it is forgotten this rule came about by the fire and sword. It was never continuous or harmonious with many Islamic factions fighting for control. And that although none Muslims could rise far, they could never hope to be equal and at times could find themselves on the wrong side of the unequal relationship with death resulting. And long before Spain or other European countries got involved in the African slave trade the Moors led the way in a system that lasted much longer than the transatlantic slave trade which involved higher numbers.
All true. I address this transparently in previous episodes.
Not sure, if the Germanic tribes centuries later were so instrumental in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Sure, they migrated westwards, but were pushed by the Huns. The Romans chose to miss the opportunity to turn them into allies against a common enemy. I think that did it! Nevertheless, great video! Good story telling. Thanks!
Very true, and many thanks.
3 days ago I was in Nafpaktos (Lepanto) .. I thought of the battle!
Amazing!

Great
Many thanks.

Underrated video
Much appreciated 🫡
Very well delivered and, with what appeared to be ,"a passion for the subject". the sound enhancements added to this effect! The message, strongly delivered, don't entrust your self belief, in the face of determined and obvious strategic advancements and advantage! Nicely put. Well done!!!
@@shaunperhat thank you much. Very, very appreciated.
General Tiberius went back to Germany a decade later and exacted vengeance for the massacre at Teutoberger Wald.
Yes, five years later. But he was recalled by Tiberius after two seasons.
*Germanicus went back, recalled by Emperor Tiberius.
Thanks. Old guy; memory fails me. I do remember Themistocles though: "I cannot fiddle, but I can make a great state from a small city." Or something like that
nonsense next few decades they slaughtered tens of thousands wiping out whole tribes,Germany wasn't worth conquest they had nothing beneficial
They couldn’t conquer a land with no cities or roads, and it had very few precious metals. I go through the entire history in the full podcast episode, explaining why, per Roman sources. But Germanicus did go back to make the German Tribes bleed; then was recalled by Tiberius.
Lesson: Roman arrogance. On open terrain, the Legions were very effective
Lesson,....... Don't mess with mad German's
In ancient Judea Roman legioners were primarily made upmog Mercenaries fron Gual and Germania.The first Jewish community in Europe were brought there as slaves by German Mercenaries after their tour of dutyvand the gallery of judea
The poor, old Incas! Eviscerating all those other Indian children during their holy Qhapaq hucha didn't help them when it was their turn to be slaughtered. It's enough to make you think the gods are ungrateful. No matter how pure the children the creator god (Viracocha), the sun god (Init), and the thunder god (Illapa) just didn't give a damn.
“Gods don’t kill people. People, with gods, kill people.”

eww royals
It was a Scottish civil war. More Scots were in the govenment forces than English. There was also a religious dimension too. Catholic highlanders and lowland protestent. Bonny prince Charlie spoke English with a thick Italian accent and was more Polish than Scots.... Not a bad effort from you. But there are more than a few holes in your story. Also, seen from an American view point, it's not surprising that there's more than a pinch of anti British feeling. For example.. Anti English? It had nothing to do with the English.. The troops were British, as also the government. Anyway, thank you Mel for your take on British history. B - 🤔😉
Thank you. It’s tough to melt down a long story into ~ 20 minutes. These are the sources I put the story together from: Gibson, John. Lochiel of the '45: The Jacobite Chief and the Prince. Hartman, Cyril. The Quest Forlorn: The Story of the Forty-Five. Scott, Sir Walter. A History of Scotland. Daiches, David. Charles Edward Stuart: The Life and Times of Bonnie Prince.
I bring up the religious element in the story multiple times. And speak of the lowlander Scots… and the benefits they received after the fall at Culloden. The transcript is at www.HistorysGreatestBattles.com if it’s easier to digest than audio. Thanks again. I appreciate all feedback. Will do better in the future. Only in my second month of publishing. Trying to do each story justice. 🍻
@@covertwars it was more about the crown and who wore it and what religion the king followed. For the majority of Scots the king had to be protestant first and foremost. The same with the English. Having a German king with Stuart ancestors, and being protestant was a good fit for both countries.. My point is, it was not a war between England and Scotland. It was a rebellion by a minority of Scots against the British government. The Scots had a referendum a couple of years back on leaving the union.. They voted No. Not much has changed over the last 300years.. When they finally stopped fighting each other, and became the British, they built the biggest empire in human history. That's how much they 'hated' each other... I found your video very enjoyable. Keep up the good work and, thank you. 👍
@@princerupert6161 many thanks. I should have made that clearer. My apologies. Cheers 🍻
Annoying acoustics. Need less background noise, closer microphone, better enunciation.
Will try harder. Thanks.
It wasnt Scotland against England. There was Scots and English on both sides. Its more correct to say Jacobites against the British Government.
Very true. The attempt to wipe out highland culture after the battle (tartans, Gaelic, bagpipes), was an attack on the culture at large - not just the Jacobites, hence why I said Scottish instead of the specific highland clans that were involved. Do you have a time stamp of the statement you’re referring to? I’ll revisit the script and see if I can re-record to make it clear? Many thanks for the comment 🥂🤜💥🤛
2:01 Scottish Forces: actually Jacobite Forces consisting of Scottish Highlanders, English and Irish Jacobites. English Forces: actually British Government Regiments including Lowlander Scottish.
5:54 Its not the English throne at this stage. The 2 kingdoms are merged. Its the British throne.
Thank you so much. I’ll attempt to re-record at these moments. Truly, thank you. I publish daily… meaning I write these scripts each night, relying on the books in the show notes and thus, summarize. In doing so I see that I generalized here. Very, very insightful. Thank you, so much, for this. I’ll fix it.
10:44 panic swept through the English rank. Panic swept through the Government/Hannoverian ranks.
Wondering what the skull and old man has to do with this battle? Listen to the opening of the episode. It’s explained there. Gracias and thanks in advance. 🤜💥🤛
