it says that tigers river turns red because mongols ordered each soldier to show 2 heads on their hands before getting loots (after the siege has finished). after 1 day the river color turns from red to dark black after the time of ink got solute, they drawn thousands of books from baghdad library.
I wonder how many invaluable pieces of Islamic art and scholarship have been destroyed by Europeans and US Americans in their colonisation and imperialist wars of the Islamic world since the First World War.
According to the Arab historians, in the destruction of Baghdad, the Armenians and the Georgians of the Mongolian Army played a leading role. It was a disaster for civilization because in Baghdad's libraries there were translated many lost books today for ancient Greek philosophers.
@@amaantariq2348 That's brutal. Those poor people had nothing to do with what their foolish ancestors did centuries before. The ottomans went on a full on rampage towards their end.
@@amaantariq2348 bro, this is not what Islam teaches. also, the ones who killed armenians were atheist and secular turks (the so-called "young turks") , and not Muslims. these atheist turks were also enemies of Islam. they ousted the Muslim ottoman government and came to power by a coup.
I live quite close to where the battle of Ayn Jalut took place and not only I had no clue the Mongols reached all the way here, I also had no clue this place is basically the Stalingrad of the Mongol empire. This land is special for a million reasons but this is one of the reasons that surprised me the most. Thanks for this lecture!

Saruul Saruul fact is they destroyed the library and killed most of the people in the city. Where are you getting your information from? Mongols were savages they didnt care for human lives why would they care for books? The only time they showed compassion for scholars was when they could use them to build their siege engines. Which did not happen in Bagdad. If I could change some efents in human history it would br the sacking of the bagdad library and the burning of the one in Alexandria.
@Monkooze Tees That might be true. I think they were killed so often since messengers really were effectively spies. You can't disentangle it. So they were probably awash in palpable fear of being tortured to death, which made them look "weak," to the idiotic humans judging them. Vicious cycle.
Islamic history books reference the great destruction and invasion of Baghdad very vividly. Over 1 million residents were slaughtered and the killing was so severe that people volunteered to be killed out of fear. The books of the library were also chucked into the Tigris river and the ink in the water turned the colour dark. The amount of books thrown into the river created bridges that could be walked over.
I visited the site where Monke died. It’s a massive fortress near Chongqing called “Fishing Town” which straddles two rivers. It took the Mongols 30 years to take it. Local rumor has it Monke was wounded by a catapult in the siege.
this is what interesting about China. while Mongol already reached Syria and Northern Black Sea, China still holding some of their regions. the same story happened in WW2 with Japan, they already conquered south east Asia but China still put a good resistance.
Excellent job! You left out the 'origin story' of the Mamluks however. A mamluk is a slave soldier essentially, bought at young age often and trained to be warriors, and the Egyptian mamluks were some of the most highly trained, best armoured fighters of their time, mastering sword, bow and spear on horseback. But where did these mamluks come from? The slaves who became the mamluks of the Bahri Mamluk dynasty were not Egyptian, but largely nomadic Kipchak warriors sold into slavery in Crimea/Volga steppe region. Why were they driven into slavery? Due to the Mongol expansion! There were probably cases where it was literally Mongols selling the slaves who would defeat them some years later. Part of the reason then that the Mamluks fought so well against the Mongols could be that they already knew their tactics essentially. I imagine others in the comment section here have already noted the Berke-Mamluk alliance. In light of this Kipchak connection, Mongolists such as Anne Broadbridge and Timothy May have suggested that rather than the 'equality' between the sovereigns of the Golden Horde and Mamluk Sultanate suggested in the Mamluk sources, in accordance with the Mongolian world view and their status as Kipchaks (already conquered by the Mongols) that Berke saw the Sultanate not as equals, but as his vassals, and were in effect serving him by attacking the forces of his cousin Hulagu (Berke and Hulagu went to war shortly after Ain Jalut over the Caucasus region. Berke's conversion to Islam may have been a factor in the hostilities (destruction of Baghdad and all that) but was not the main reason as suggested by the Mamluks). Of course, the Crusader decision to go with "the devil you know," rather than the (ironically, probably quite Christian inclined Hulagu and his wife Dokuz Qatun, although it is unclear from the sources how much this Christian inclination is being played up) meant that the Mamluks could, almost as an afterthought, mop up the final Crusader cities over the following years. I always find it interesting that a lot of European writers have displayed the Mamluk-Crusader conflicts as the main war of the Middle East in this period, which is hilariously wrong: the Ilkhanate was the main concern of the Mamluks, and wanted to prevent a Mongol-crusader alliance against them (Edward I of England would actually campaign in the region and try to coordinate with the Mongols, but was never able to do so successfully). The Mongols stilled possessed the potential to defeat the Mamluks and destroy the sultanate (and would to continue to campaign against them for the remainder of the century, but were never able to get much farther than Gaza), a potential the Crusader forces on their own never held. Fantastic video, and I eagerly await the next one!
@@KingsandGenerals "Based on texts from Alamut, their grand master Hassan-i Sabbah tended to call his disciples Asāsiyyūn (أساسيون, meaning "people who are faithful to the foundation [of the faith]"), but some foreign travellers like Marco Polo[1] misunderstood the name as deriving from the term hashish"
I adore everything you people do! You guys truly have progressed so far and developed so well! The background stories, history and then the graphic battles and illustrations make it such an enjoyable experience. I would love to also see more modern wars/civil wars/biographies if this channel covered most of the battles in the end. Keep going and we love your work!
What? Power age of Mongols were ended when greatest generals were died from old age or sent back to the mainland. You know it's difficult to govern foreign country from far far away. History is fun. But self glorification is kinda sad tho.
Through assimilation. Not through battle. But again conquered under the banners of the Mongol Tamerlane. Even conquered India. But yes, the troops were mostly Muslim by then.
If Mongke' had not died, undoubtedly Hulegu would have taken Cairo and sent Islam reeling for centuries. Funny how history works. But the devastation inflicted by the Mongols spared Europe form certain Muslim conquest. Thus bringing in the Renaissance period of Europe, and the birth of the Modern world. A side note. The first use of canons and bamboo rifles were on display in the siege of Baghdad. The Mongols had figured out how to use the Chinese invention of gunpowder to propel objects. The Chinese invented gunpowder. The Mongols invented the gun.
Arexon but also they deal with Saladin one time when they assasinate crusader leader and then crusaders where disunited beacuse some of them think thath crusader leader was assasinated by his rival sory for my english
Something really cool to add: Those Mamlukes were actually originally Eurasian war captives (Turks, Russians, Armenians, Slavs, etc...) captured by the Mongols themselves when they swept through Eurasia. They were sold to the Italian Genoese merchants of the Black Sea, who in turn sold the slaves, the Mamlukes, to the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, who immediately enrolled them in the ranks of the Egyptian army, where they rose through the ranks and eventually took over the entire country. So, in summary, those Mamlukes actually were quite familiar with Mongol war tactics, which greatly helped them win Ain Jalut.
Tedd Saddam was no Caliph. He was a thug who idealizes Joseph Stalin. But the biggest star of that 2003 war was his minister of information. He was more amusing than all American talk shows!!!!!
You packed up a lot of events in Mongol expansion history in one video this time around. But still, the longer the video gets, the more enjoyable it is. Great effort, thanks!
The Mongol army fought very fiercely and very aggressively to break out. Some distance away, Qutuz watched with his private legion. When Qutuz saw the left wing of the Mamluk army almost destroyed by the desperate Mongols seeking an escape route, Qutuz threw away his combat helmet, so that his warriors could recognize him. He was seen the next moment rushing fiercely towards the battlefield yelling "wa islamah!" ("Oh my Islam"), urging his army to keep firm, and advanced towards the weakened side, followed by his own unit. The Mongols were pushed back and fled to a vicinity of Bisan, followed by Qutuz's forces, but they managed to reorganize and return to the battlefield, making a successful counterattack. However, the battle shifted in favor of the Mamluks, who now had both the geographic and psychological advantage, and eventually some of the Mongols were forced to retreat. Kitbuqa and almost the whole Mongol army that had remained in the region perished.
According to All About History: Greatest Battles, between 200,000 - 800,000 people were massacred or enslaved during the Siege of Bagdad, and the city itself was chocked with these corpses and its buildings in ruins and the Grand Library in flames. I'm glad the Siege was included in this series as it was one of the bloodiest sieges in overall history, and cannot be underrated. My thanks again to Kings and Generals for their fine work for this series. Look forward to the next one with great anticipation :) .
what hurt the most is Baghdad library it is said that it had more than 1 million book. science history ancient translated books of Persians Romans Greeks and contemporary books ranging from mechanics and mathematics to comedy.
@@DK-yz9xk that is not true, islam recommend us to learn about our world, but anyway it is good what we seek not knowledge, science is just a tool to deal with the world
Mongols, Napoleon, and Ottomans favorite series on this channel! But Mongols have to be my favorite, you guys inspired me to buy a ton of history books on the Mongols lol
Youssef-Ben-TACHFIN fair enough . But dont denied for what happen in Great Arab Revolt just because we Turk got dethrone and the Muslim fell apart to many countries which lead to the creation of Israel. That very unfortunate betrayal to Muslim ummah.
Don't forget real Assassin (hashishin) were eradicated by the Mongol Empire during the well-documented invasion of Khwarizm. They probably dispatched their assassins to kill Möngke Khan. Thus, a decree was handed over to the Mongol commander Kitbuqa who began to assault several Hashashin fortresses in 1253 before Hulagu's advance in 1256. The Mongols besieged Alamut on December 15, 1256. The Assassins recaptured and held Alamut for a few months in 1275, but they were crushed and their political power was lost foreve
Razz mn It was actually Jebe who destroyed Hashashin secret empire. Kitbuga was only small commander under Jebe. He was really good soldier but surely was not tactician like Jebe. Thats why he charged stupidily instead pf using original battle tactic of hit and run of mongols in ain jalut and lost.
The world's most powerful nation, the Mongol Empire, conquered the Middle East, including the Abbasid Caliphate and the Khwarazmian Empire. In the process, they even massacred the Order of Assassins, the founders of Assassin, who were more infamous than the world's most infamous terrorist group, IS. Order of Assassins have been wiped from the face of the Earth.

the historians says when the mongols entered the city in the first day the river became red like blood and the second day it became like the color of the ink from Baghdad libraries
@Bat Orgil hmmm. Bit of a large assumption there. After the Mongols decimated the Muslim empires for the first time information from china could easily travel to the west without disruption. This was well known in bringing such ailments like the black death but also allowed technology to pass, such as firearms and better boat designs which were all improved by Europeans. Eventually Europeans would look west to the americas and that is where they really took over. I heavily doubt that the ottomans helped Europe in any way.
@Bat Orgil Another assumption. Exploration west was not due to a ban of European trade through the middle East. European trade with the east made the middle men (middle east) very rich. Exploration west was just the natural flow of history as humanity wanted to explore their world. Same reason why humans do anything. Also ottoman empire expansion would be the reason why European powers pushed back and led to ottoman collapse and the world we see today. If anything the middle east would of done better without Islam as the religion binds their economy as well as political motivations. In Europe and China it goes economy and politics first then religion. In the middle east the land that had the geographic economic advantage it went religion then economy and politics. The same constraints that hold them back today.
@@katoyushiromitsu not true in the library were translations of ancient Greek and Roman books as well as centuries of middle eastern writings in all fields of knowledge not just religion
Mr One nah, mongols exploited kingdoms which didnt try to help each other. Soon when they meet united fronts and rebellions they will loose everything.
The Mongol expansion in the Islamic world was only possible because of the fractured nature of Central Asia. The Khwarezmians beat the Mongols at the battle of Parwan and suddenly the entire region was up in arms against the Mongols. The biggest unfortunate event in Islamic history happened right after that battle; The Afghan allies of the Khwarezmians who were key in beating the Mongols at the battle of Parwan abandoned camp because the Sultan did not gift a captured Mongolian white horse to an Afghan tribal chief. This was seen as a grave offence to the Afghans and thirty thousand battle hardened Afghan cavalrymen left the Khwarezmian camp. This forced the Sultan to retreat even though he had won the battle. How history would have been different had the Khwarezmian Sultan made better judgement.

The muslims destroyed the mongols with or without genkiz khan being muslim. The only way the mongols took the islamic states is by telling the muslims we are better than your own Kings. But that turned bad for the mongols because the muslims rebelled against them and suddenly the whole Arabia Was Armed And Using Guerella warefare and ambushes at the Mongols. Specially the “Arabian Bandits” who were furious Warriors who didn’t show mercy to the Outsiders ( Crusades, Mongols, persians, etc)
+ Serbs and Ottomans allied against Byzantium and Serbs joined Constantinople siege. At Ankara battle, only Serbs stood aside with Ottoman sultan against Tanerlane. Anatolian Turks were sell sword till Ottoman empire created. Btw, Karamanid Turks are Christian whose living in Greece now; Kostas Karamanlis etc. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was a Karamanid too. History...
Türkoğlu Türk, we say they're Iranian kings of Turkish descent. He could spoke Turkish but he could speak Iranian too and we consider them Iranian king of Turkish descent. His Turkish father had no balls and was so scared for Mongols that this Turkish king pissed in his shorts all the time and always runned scared form fighting. That Turkish king was a shame for our Iranian history.
@@PreparingGeneeskunde so you own Turkish victories while u blame turks for defeats what a contradiction...and they are never iranian but they are conquerors of iran...and dont forget mongol army was consist of mostly turkic warriors and they only lost war against another turkic warriors like Celaleddin Harzemşah, Seyfeddin Kutuz and Baybars...
He was put into an impossible situation thanks to his incompetent father and he managed to make the most what he could. If he was a little more diplomatic maybe he could've stayed alive for longer.
K&G please correct me if I’m wrong, I heard when Hulagu Khan came to Iran he had some Persian advisors and the advisors suggested that he attacks Baghdad to get rid of them for good. Hulagu was worry that if the Muslim khalifah is killed the sky would fall on earth. So the advisors said to wrap him inside a cloth and and walk with horses over him, if the sky started coming down on earth they can stop walking over him, but if not they can keep walking over him until he dies.
-Actually, the Mamluks didn't have twice the numbers they just overnumbered them slightly.(I knew that resources are very different). -You should have mentioned that Sultan Qutuz of Egypt was Galal Al-Din 's nephew sold to slavery but raised in ranks to rule Egypt and get his vengeance.
Yeah yeah .. your sources. I watched youtube video of one muslim talking about how great islamic warriors stopped hundreds of thousands mongols. He had his sources too.
Tomoesong I would recommend to you the "Nomads on Ponies vs Slaves on Horses" article, written by John Masson Smith Jr, from University of California, Berkeley. It does a great job at explaining how the Mamluks managed to defeat the Mongols. Overall, the Ilkhanate had far more soldiers than the Mamluks but they couldn't mobilise enough of them to overpower the Egyptian Sultanate in one single campaign, due to various reasons which he explains pretty well.
Tomoesong european sources: "300 Spartans faced 10 million persians, 200 dragons and 5000 demons" XD . and this is not even a joke for european historians. european sources are a joke.
Thanks guys, there is no vid of this out there and i wad waiting to see one. Keep up the great work. History is very hard in my country, as we have to memorize the whole book to get 20/20 around (120 pages). It keeps me more interested in the topic.
You mean jallal el din munkaberti the king of khawarezm ?? Yes he was at begging successful after his alliance with the king seif el din baghraq they beat the Tatars but unfortunately the two allied armies went in a stupid conflict and it caused a divergence so chengis khan came with his army and beat jaalla el din and the last ran out in the river ...
@@cruelmael4178 That was before his return from India. His best work came when he started to reestablish the Khwarezmiad Empire and subjugated many vassal states. He even beat a mongol army near Ray.
Tomoesong Actually it was a greater movement than one ruler's conversion to Islam, it was the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire. The Chagatai Khanate wasn't muslim at the time (not firmly I think) but it still posed a threat to the Ilkhanate on its eastern border. They were unlucky to divide, but luck had been on their side in the first place to find both the Middle East and China divided, something which enabled them to expand their empire and use the additional resources to continue their conquests (something they were admittedly very good at).
Tomoesong Berke first took over the Golden Horde and then waged war on the Ilkhanate- but the Mongols were further weakened by the loss of the Yuan Dynasty in China , the increasing divison of the empire among rivals and the solidifying of Egypt against invasion. it is hardly Berke's fault, like Rome the Mongol Empire got too big and cracked open.
Hey guys just wanna say I've learned so much about the Mongols from your videos, though admittedly that was very little to start lol. Keep up the great work!

@Ando Varghese Wtf ? Show me a power that didnt get defated by Turks ! We defeated whole world,who the fuck is ghengiz qaghan ? Even his army was full of Turkic.First uzbeks joined his union.Shut the fuck up poor asshole.
A damn shame about the sack of Bagdad that library would have been a great help to the Mongols if they spared it. It was the downfall after that no way the mongol princes who were Muslim would like hugalu after that
If you do not heed our advice and intend to oppose and resist us, ready your army and choose the battlefield, for we are prepared and girded for battle. When I lead my army against Baghdad in fury, whether you hide in the heavens or on earth I will bring you down from the spinning spheres; I will toss you in the air like a lion. I will leave no one alive in your realm; I will burn your city and your lands. If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, listen to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed. Hulagu Khan letter to the caliph of Baghdad. Simply people of Baghdad asked deaths and destruction from Mongols when they offered Hospitality.
Hey man i'm all for that but to burn a damn center of knowledge and medicine was folly massacre the population but use what they have to make their nation stronger. This was the same senseless massacring Yelü Chucai warned Ghengis and Odegai about.
Hulagu didn't burn all library. He had some muslim math teachers begging him not to burn library. So Hulagu captured Library and gave it to their teachers.
Hulagu knew Great library held priceless knowledge but he was manipulated to burn it. Just like burning of Great library of Alexandria was not accident but deliberate. Regardless of muslims or mongols, we are all humans after all but there is another being who wants to keep humanity on need-to-know basis. That's why that being manipulates strong human character to reset our knowledge once in a while. Robots have been made even before common era but only now, it was "right" time to be introduced to commoners. Time machines have already been made but now, it is "not right" time to be introduced to commoners. Don't feel sorry for any Great library or any lost knowledge if you are a devote Christian or Muslim because your "bastard god" wills it and he makes sure we are always divided and weak.
The area is too valuable for commerce and trade which often made them frequent targets for expansion. Now with oil today this make these areas more lucrative.
The Kingdom of Georgia faced a defeat against Jalal ad-Din because of internal betrayal :(. The battle began with Jalal ad-Dins left wing attacking the Georgian vanguard and it did not take long for his main forces to be ordered into fight. By that time, Shalva Toreli-Akhaltiskheli and Ivane Toreli-Akhaltsikheli had already sent several messengers to the Georgian commander Ivane Atabag-Mkhargrdzeli asking him to strike the Khwarezmid rear as the vanguard was able to stabilize the front lines. Despite the crucial advantage of the terrain, relief for the vanguard became critically necessary. Mkhargrdzeli's army had still not replied and his Georgian army's main body remained absolutely stationary. A nearly perfect opportunity to force its enemy to fight against being encircled or caught in a pincer movement, was wasted. Soon the Georgian vanguard was breaking apart and finally got completely overrun. Commander Mkhargrdzeli then ordered his troops to abandon the battlefield entirely, leaving the other two commanders Shalva and Ivane Akhaltsikheli in their enemies' hands. Once again internal conflicts and personal feuds between Georgian grand feudal lords decisively crippled the Georgian kingdom's defences and its leaders power. Other then that..Great video once again :D
But u know other than that the Persians were great allies with the georgians, Jalal had no choice- he needed more land to save his kingdom from the mongols
Thinking about Georgia and Armenia I just noticed that throughout history you guys have the worst geographic position in classical and medieval era. So many wars have been fought in those lands with so much pillaging. Horse lords from steppe alone had done so much plunder and loot in the region.
M Hasnan, Georgia had it way better then Armenia in history heck survived Arab and Turkish invasion and managed to expand nearly double its size in the 1100 and early 1200s.
I Just have a point for the people who says Arabs can't read at that time, The first word in Islam Holy Book "al-Quran" is "READ" and it was an Order from god, to be a Muslim you must read. Thanks.

Not just purely informative, but actually interesting and fun to watch. Wish my history lessons were like this.
I think you forgot an important note about the battle of Ain Jalut, the use of Canons, er, more like "Hand Cannoneers" (think "Princess Mononoke"). Even though they were not accurate like the bows used by the mongols, they had a devastating psychological on the mongol riders and their horses. The reputation and track record of the mongols meant that the Mamluks could not take any chances, they studied the mongol tactics (hence the feigned retreat), and incorporated new technology originating from china. It is said that the use of canons in this battle is what spread it to mainstay use. EDIT: Forgot to thank you for your awesome content, as usual.
the funny thing that the two cities did that in real life, every time one of them helps the other even in the twentieth century, when Israel bombed the egyptian radio station, the syran radio was "from demascus, here is Cairo".
God dammit Mongols. You turned the most developed area in the Middle East and one of the most in Western Eurasia into a burned and sacked shadow of its former self.
Still though, destroying one of the largest if not the largest collection of knowledge in Western Eurasia and slaughtering thousands leading to irrigation not being maintained and failing thus worsening agriculture is a very bloodthirsty and horrible move.
"You can see they sent envoy for peaceful solution yet they deny that and asks total destruction. City that become vassal still left unharmed." -- Oh, so it was the fault of those that refused when asked to become slaves? How dare they...

The atrocities of Hulagu in Baghdad should be the main point of this lecture. They were executed methodically and massively just because the Caliph refused to surrender the first time. "First the Tigris run blak" with the ink of all libraries, Madrassas, hospitals, "Then it run red". Only a group of Nestorian Christians were spared, because Hulagu´s wife ws a Nestorian.Then Some cities in the Levant, like Damascus, surrendered, and others suffered the brutal fate of Baghdad. Not just executions by the thousand, but also acts of torture like forcing the tortured to eat his own flesh. But at that time the Mongol brutal wave was crumbling . "Go on where the hooves of the Mongol horses can take us" had said Gengis. But they had no navy to cross to Japan, or to attack Egypt. In Europe they had been stopped by King Bela in Hungary: Batu´s Chinese engineers faced masonry castles, not brick was like those of Baghdad. The West was a mass of mountains and forests, that was not the steppe or the wooden fortress of Rus. Therre was a unity already in Hungary, german principalities and nearby states. And the age of gunpowder was rendering composite bows old fashioned, useless in damp forest areas as the cavalry. The Mongols belonged to the Eurasian steppe, and they remained there until being diluted into Turkish khanates.
When Qutuz saw the left wing of the Mamluk army almost destroyed by the desperate Mongols seeking an escape route, Qutuz threw away his combat helmet, so that his warriors could recognize him. He was seen the next moment rushing fiercely towards the battlefield yelling "wa islamah!" ("Oh my Islam"),

Interesting fact, the Ayyubids were the grandsons of Saladin. An-Nasir Yusuf was Saladin's great-grandson. Saladin's real name was Yusuf Ibn Ayyub, Saladin was a title that meant "Righteous in Faith"
Qutuz and Baybars was great Sultans The first saved the world from the invasion of the Mongols In Ain Jalut and the second he prefaced a great military operations for finished the rule of the crusaders in the east like The conquer of Antioch on 1268 and continue the battales aginst the Mongols ( In The Battle of Elbistan 1277)
Defeatinga small mongol army "saved the world"? You do know that the Mongols were defeated many times, even before this battle, did they also "save the world"? The Mongol empire had internal conflicts, that's why it dissolved.
Monsterxdude Did you know this small battle made the Mamluk stand one more time to fight the mongol again in bigger battle?If the Mamluk lost you think crusader can defeat them?Who knows who can and who can't.The ratio of gaining victory against the Mongol is like 4:10
Mamluks eventually got defeated at the last MONGOL-MAMLUK war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wadi_al-Khazandar Mongols chased them until gaza. Which chagatai khanate attacked ilkhanate, thus saving mamluk ass. Later Timurids(Mongols-turko) came and Destroyed mamluks. So much victory to mamluks. lol
This was the most accurate version of the battle. Kitbuga had fought in the area for 15 years. So he must have been confident about the quality of his forces.
@@donjon6244 are u crazy not Just Hulagu was child of a Christian like themself, Hulagu was a Christian(Christianism Nestorian was very common inter Mongolia and turkic tribes in 1100s) when He invaded the Armenia He not atacked nothing... his child Akaca Khan(same being not muslim) talk a no-sucessfull aliance with Pope Gregory and Edward of England to try smash the islamism in Persia
He is a Turkic and after the invasion of Baghdad, he accepted Islam. You can learn this information from Timur's daily. Timur who is a Ozbek Turk wrote :" we learnt that Hülagu Han accepted Islam religion with 20 thousand Turk soldiers and after we learnt this news, we have been happy."

I'm quite sure you already know this, but the British Empire was the largest empire the world has ever seen in the 1920s. The British Empire had approximately 35.5 million square km of territory. The Mongols had approximately 24 million square km of territory. It's a little bit silly to mention, considering there are many ways to measure an empire, but i thought i would throw that out there.)
i think you're right but to be fair i think mongols empire was much more impressive since they fought more and less equal enemies (in term of military & technology ) ... while some of the biggest British colonies in australia , africa , northern america were considered primitive even by iron age standard !
mongol empire fought enemies in strong phase of millitary history. and u.k empire fought in Bharat which was already fighting war from 636 to 1757. 1757 first u.k attack on Bhartiya sampraday.u.k empire also occupy america australia,others which had no large standing armies.
Qutuz who defeated them is Jalal ad-Din's nephew and the prince of the Khwarezmian Empire who was sold into slavery after the fall of Khwarezm to a mamluk general in Egypt(mamluks were sultan's guards) after the 9th crusade the sultan died and after a power struggle Qutuz became the ruler of Egypt
The way the story of the Mongols ultimately turned out reminds me of the verse from the glorious Quran that reads ‘They plan, and Allah plans, But Allah is the best of planners’. The were such a terrifying force and crushed Muslim army after Muslim army and it seemed Egypt would fall next, that they would take our holy lands in the Hejaz and in Jerusalem. It seemed Mongols would take over the world. Ultimately internal politics and the conversion to Islam of Berle Khan and his war with Hulagu was timed in such a way that Hulagu never had the chance to retaliate to Ain Jalut properly otherwise we would have marched down with 100,000 men if he wanted and finished Islam as a religion completely. But this was not meant to be and Islam wasn’t supposed to be finished, because Islam is the true religion of God. Baybars is a huge reason for this, and god placed him in the right place at the right time to defend his religion and territory. The mongols were complacent at the wrong time and place. Today there are 1.8 Billion Muslims in the world of all ethnicites. And there are less than 4 million ethnic mongols of Mongolia who identify as such. History could have been much different, however as I said… Allah is the best of planners. The way Islam emerged and the challenges it has seen and survived from day one when Muhammad was persecuted for preaching it in Mecca, to many Islamic empires warring with each other and crumbling, to the mongol catastrophe. It is truly phenomenal to see this religion emerged through it all, somehow someway. If it’s not protected by the creator of this world, there’s little else that explains its survival.

Sacking of Baghdad and the destruction of the great library is one of the greatest tragedies in the human civillisaton.
Fact is Mongols captured and relocated great library outside Bagdad, It's called Maragha observatory and built by Hulagu's teacher.
Saruul Saruul not true. they threw the books into the river and destroyed the house of wisdom
Saruul Saruul fact is they destroyed the library and killed most of the people in the city. Where are you getting your information from?
Mongols were savages they didnt care for human lives why would they care for books? The only time they showed compassion for scholars was when they could use them to build their siege engines.
Which did not happen in Bagdad.
If I could change some efents in human history it would br the sacking of the bagdad library and the burning of the one in Alexandria.

Pros: If you get killed they will show no mercy to the enemy
Cons: Getting killed 50/50
@Monkooze Tees That might be true. I think they were killed so often since messengers really were effectively spies. You can't disentangle it. So they were probably awash in palpable fear of being tortured to death, which made them look "weak," to the idiotic humans judging them. Vicious cycle.
LMAO
Probably the most fortunate ones just lost ears or noses when sent to Singhasari
Islamic history books reference the great destruction and invasion of Baghdad very vividly. Over 1 million residents were slaughtered and the killing was so severe that people volunteered to be killed out of fear. The books of the library were also chucked into the Tigris river and the ink in the water turned the colour dark. The amount of books thrown into the river created bridges that could be walked over.

I visited the site where Monke died. It’s a massive fortress near Chongqing called “Fishing Town” which straddles two rivers. It took the Mongols 30 years to take it. Local rumor has it Monke was wounded by a catapult in the siege.
this is what interesting about China.
while Mongol already reached Syria and Northern Black Sea, China still holding some of their regions.
the same story happened in WW2 with Japan, they already conquered south east Asia but China still put a good resistance.
Excellent job! You left out the 'origin story' of the Mamluks however. A mamluk is a slave soldier essentially, bought at young age often and trained to be warriors, and the Egyptian mamluks were some of the most highly trained, best armoured fighters of their time, mastering sword, bow and spear on horseback. But where did these mamluks come from? The slaves who became the mamluks of the Bahri Mamluk dynasty were not Egyptian, but largely nomadic Kipchak warriors sold into slavery in Crimea/Volga steppe region. Why were they driven into slavery? Due to the Mongol expansion! There were probably cases where it was literally Mongols selling the slaves who would defeat them some years later. Part of the reason then that the Mamluks fought so well against the Mongols could be that they already knew their tactics essentially.
I imagine others in the comment section here have already noted the Berke-Mamluk alliance. In light of this Kipchak connection, Mongolists such as Anne Broadbridge and Timothy May have suggested that rather than the 'equality' between the sovereigns of the Golden Horde and Mamluk Sultanate suggested in the Mamluk sources, in accordance with the Mongolian world view and their status as Kipchaks (already conquered by the Mongols) that Berke saw the Sultanate not as equals, but as his vassals, and were in effect serving him by attacking the forces of his cousin Hulagu (Berke and Hulagu went to war shortly after Ain Jalut over the Caucasus region. Berke's conversion to Islam may have been a factor in the hostilities (destruction of Baghdad and all that) but was not the main reason as suggested by the Mamluks).
Of course, the Crusader decision to go with "the devil you know," rather than the (ironically, probably quite Christian inclined Hulagu and his wife Dokuz Qatun, although it is unclear from the sources how much this Christian inclination is being played up) meant that the Mamluks could, almost as an afterthought, mop up the final Crusader cities over the following years. I always find it interesting that a lot of European writers have displayed the Mamluk-Crusader conflicts as the main war of the Middle East in this period, which is hilariously wrong: the Ilkhanate was the main concern of the Mamluks, and wanted to prevent a Mongol-crusader alliance against them (Edward I of England would actually campaign in the region and try to coordinate with the Mongols, but was never able to do so successfully). The Mongols stilled possessed the potential to defeat the Mamluks and destroy the sultanate (and would to continue to campaign against them for the remainder of the century, but were never able to get much farther than Gaza), a potential the Crusader forces on their own never held.
Fantastic video, and I eagerly await the next one!

"The Mongols put an end to the Islamic golden age"
"The remaining Muslims ended the power age of the mongols"

Very true.
@Poop Poop And together with their Turkic cousins, ruled the Russians as the Golden Horde in the name of Islam, until Ivan III kicked them
What? Power age of Mongols were ended when greatest generals were died from old age or sent back to the mainland.
You know it's difficult to govern foreign country from far far away.
History is fun. But self glorification is kinda sad tho.
Through assimilation. Not through battle. But again conquered under the banners of the Mongol Tamerlane. Even conquered India. But yes, the troops were mostly Muslim by then.
If Mongke' had not died, undoubtedly Hulegu would have taken Cairo and sent Islam reeling for centuries. Funny how history works. But the devastation inflicted by the Mongols spared Europe form certain Muslim conquest. Thus bringing in the Renaissance period of Europe, and the birth of the Modern world. A side note. The first use of canons and bamboo rifles were on display in the siege of Baghdad. The Mongols had figured out how to use the Chinese invention of gunpowder to propel objects. The Chinese invented gunpowder. The Mongols invented the gun.

Something really cool to add: Those Mamlukes were actually originally Eurasian war captives (Turks, Russians, Armenians, Slavs, etc...) captured by the Mongols themselves when they swept through Eurasia. They were sold to the Italian Genoese merchants of the Black Sea, who in turn sold the slaves, the Mamlukes, to the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, who immediately enrolled them in the ranks of the Egyptian army, where they rose through the ranks and eventually took over the entire country. So, in summary, those Mamlukes actually were quite familiar with Mongol war tactics, which greatly helped them win Ain Jalut.
Boys becomes men isn't it ironic they got their revenge.
The mamluks were muslims

The Mongol army fought very fiercely and very aggressively to break out. Some distance away, Qutuz watched with his private legion. When Qutuz saw the left wing of the Mamluk army almost destroyed by the desperate Mongols seeking an escape route, Qutuz threw away his combat helmet, so that his warriors could recognize him. He was seen the next moment rushing fiercely towards the battlefield yelling "wa islamah!" ("Oh my Islam"), urging his army to keep firm, and advanced towards the weakened side, followed by his own unit. The Mongols were pushed back and fled to a vicinity of Bisan, followed by Qutuz's forces, but they managed to reorganize and return to the battlefield, making a successful counterattack. However, the battle shifted in favor of the Mamluks, who now had both the geographic and psychological advantage, and eventually some of the Mongols were forced to retreat. Kitbuqa and almost the whole Mongol army that had remained in the region perished.

Don't forget real Assassin (hashishin) were eradicated by the Mongol Empire during the well-documented invasion of Khwarizm. They probably dispatched their assassins to kill Möngke Khan. Thus, a decree was handed over to the Mongol commander Kitbuqa who began to assault several Hashashin fortresses in 1253 before Hulagu's advance in 1256. The Mongols besieged Alamut on December 15, 1256. The Assassins recaptured and held Alamut for a few months in 1275, but they were crushed and their political power was lost foreve
Razz mn It was actually Jebe who destroyed Hashashin secret empire. Kitbuga was only small commander under Jebe. He was really good soldier but surely was not tactician like Jebe. Thats why he charged stupidily instead pf using original battle tactic of hit and run of mongols in ain jalut and lost.
Yes i heard about there was group of assassin's like "assassin creed" but they defeated by Mongols.
Yeah They tried to Assassinate Monghe khan
The world's most powerful nation, the Mongol Empire, conquered the Middle East, including the Abbasid Caliphate and the Khwarazmian Empire. In the process, they even massacred the Order of Assassins, the founders of Assassin, who were more infamous than the world's most infamous terrorist group, IS.

The destruction of Baghdad slowed the advanced knowledge of mankind it was unnecessary to burn the libraries ☹️
I'm not too sure. You are forgetting that China was still churning out tech and knowledge.
Most of the library was Islamic cultural stuff.
@Bat Orgil hmmm. Bit of a large assumption there. After the Mongols decimated the Muslim empires for the first time information from china could easily travel to the west without disruption.
This was well known in bringing such ailments like the black death but also allowed technology to pass, such as firearms and better boat designs which were all improved by Europeans.
Eventually Europeans would look west to the americas and that is where they really took over. I heavily doubt that the ottomans helped Europe in any way.
tigress color turned to dark blue because of the ink, 50000 books was tossed to the river to make a bridge for Mongols horses
@Bat Orgil Another assumption. Exploration west was not due to a ban of European trade through the middle East. European trade with the east made the middle men (middle east) very rich.
Exploration west was just the natural flow of history as humanity wanted to explore their world. Same reason why humans do anything.
Also ottoman empire expansion would be the reason why European powers pushed back and led to ottoman collapse and the world we see today.
If anything the middle east would of done better without Islam as the religion binds their economy as well as political motivations.
In Europe and China it goes economy and politics first then religion. In the middle east the land that had the geographic economic advantage it went religion then economy and politics.
The same constraints that hold them back today.

The Mongol expansion in the Islamic world was only possible because of the fractured nature of Central Asia. The Khwarezmians beat the Mongols at the battle of Parwan and suddenly the entire region was up in arms against the Mongols. The biggest unfortunate event in Islamic history happened right after that battle; The Afghan allies of the Khwarezmians who were key in beating the Mongols at the battle of Parwan abandoned camp because the Sultan did not gift a captured Mongolian white horse to an Afghan tribal chief. This was seen as a grave offence to the Afghans and thirty thousand battle hardened Afghan cavalrymen left the Khwarezmian camp. This forced the Sultan to retreat even though he had won the battle. How history would have been different had the Khwarezmian Sultan made better judgement.
The muslims destroyed the mongols with or without genkiz khan being muslim.
The only way the mongols took the islamic states is by telling the muslims we are better than your own Kings.
But that turned bad for the mongols because the muslims rebelled against them and suddenly the whole Arabia Was Armed And Using Guerella warefare and ambushes at the Mongols.

I would recommend to you the
"Nomads on Ponies vs Slaves on Horses" article, written by John Masson Smith Jr, from University of California, Berkeley. It does a great job at explaining how the Mamluks managed to defeat the Mongols. Overall, the Ilkhanate had far more soldiers than the Mamluks but they couldn't mobilise enough of them to overpower the Egyptian Sultanate in one single campaign, due to various reasons which he explains pretty well.

Yeah?...... only if they had another way.
True. Berke became muslim and started destroying great khan's legacy on the name of Islam.
Robi_CK they could've reach all the way to Africa or modern day France.

Actually it was a greater movement than one ruler's conversion to Islam, it was the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire. The Chagatai Khanate wasn't muslim at the time (not firmly I think) but it still posed a threat to the Ilkhanate on its eastern border.
They were unlucky to divide, but luck had been on their side in the first place to find both the Middle East and China divided, something which enabled them to expand their empire and use the additional resources to continue their conquests (something they were admittedly very good at).
Tomoesong Berke first took over the Golden Horde and then waged war on the Ilkhanate- but the Mongols were further weakened by the loss of the Yuan Dynasty in China , the increasing divison of the empire among rivals and the solidifying of Egypt against invasion.
it is hardly Berke's fault, like Rome the Mongol Empire got too big and cracked open.
I just love all of your videos. Greetings from Spain
Thanks for watching!
Seems weird Jalal ad-Din was able to so easily get in charge of wherever he went.
Fr?
Hey guys just wanna say I've learned so much about the Mongols from your videos, though admittedly that was very little to start lol. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!

"Qutuz saw the left wing of the Mamluk army almost destroyed by the desperate Mongols seeking an escape route, Qutuz threw away his combat helmet, so that his warriors could recognize him. He was seen the next moment rushing fiercely towards the battlefield yelling "wa islamah!" ("Oh my Islam")"
Qutuz is known after this battle as "The Lion of Ayn Jalut"
Hamza Fahad and why should Christian mentioned this , if you see the movie kingdom of heaven you will know how Christian told the history !
Every Turk borns as wolf,not lion.
@Ando Varghese Wtf ? Show me a power that didnt get defated by Turks ! We defeated whole world,who the fuck is ghengiz qaghan ? Even his army was full of Turkic.First uzbeks joined his union.Shut the fuck up poor asshole.
@Ando Varghese We're gonna rise again and this time there will be no mercy.Stronger even then Ottomans and Mongols but more barbarian.
@Ando Varghese Mercy makes a negative effect on bastards like you.You will beg to Allah which is you are kidding with.We will make you beg to Allah.
A damn shame about the sack of Bagdad that library would have been a great help to the Mongols if they spared it. It was the downfall after that no way the mongol princes who were Muslim would like hugalu after that
If you do not heed our advice and intend to oppose and resist us, ready your army and choose the battlefield, for we are prepared and girded for battle. When I lead my army against Baghdad in fury, whether you hide in the heavens or on earth I will bring you down from the spinning spheres;
I will toss you in the air like a lion.
I will leave no one alive in your realm;
I will burn your city and your lands.
If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, listen to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed.
Hulagu Khan letter to the caliph of Baghdad.
Simply people of Baghdad asked deaths and destruction from Mongols when they offered Hospitality.
Hey man i'm all for that but to burn a damn center of knowledge and medicine was folly massacre the population but use what they have to make their nation stronger. This was the same senseless massacring Yelü Chucai warned Ghengis and Odegai about.
hulagu don't like reading.
Hulagu didn't burn all library. He had some muslim math teachers begging him not to burn library. So Hulagu captured Library and gave it to their teachers.
Hulagu knew Great library held priceless knowledge but he was manipulated to burn it. Just like burning of Great library of Alexandria was not accident but deliberate. Regardless of muslims or mongols, we are all humans after all but there is another being who wants to keep humanity on need-to-know basis. That's why that being manipulates strong human character to reset our knowledge once in a while.
Robots have been made even before common era but only now, it was "right" time to be introduced to commoners.
Time machines have already been made but now, it is "not right" time to be introduced to commoners.
Don't feel sorry for any Great library or any lost knowledge if you are a devote Christian or Muslim because your "bastard god" wills it and he makes sure we are always divided and weak.
The envoys were ... not killed. And shortly later the mongol empire falls apart.
Corrolation must mean causation!
Once again, an outstanding video and audio presentation of war!
The people of Baghdad and Allepo can not seem to catch a breakthrough history to present day.
The area is too valuable for commerce and trade which often made them frequent targets for expansion. Now with oil today this make these areas more lucrative.

The Kingdom of Georgia faced a defeat against Jalal ad-Din because of internal betrayal :(. The battle began with Jalal ad-Dins left wing attacking the Georgian vanguard and it did not take long for his main forces to be ordered into fight. By that time, Shalva Toreli-Akhaltiskheli and Ivane Toreli-Akhaltsikheli had already sent several messengers to the Georgian commander Ivane Atabag-Mkhargrdzeli asking him to strike the Khwarezmid rear as the vanguard was able to stabilize the front lines. Despite the crucial advantage of the terrain, relief for the vanguard became critically necessary. Mkhargrdzeli's army had still not replied and his Georgian army's main body remained absolutely stationary. A nearly perfect opportunity to force its enemy to fight against being encircled or caught in a pincer movement, was wasted. Soon the Georgian vanguard was breaking apart and finally got completely overrun. Commander Mkhargrdzeli then ordered his troops to abandon the battlefield entirely, leaving the other two commanders Shalva and Ivane Akhaltsikheli in their enemies' hands. Once again internal conflicts and personal feuds between Georgian grand feudal lords decisively crippled the Georgian kingdom's defences and its leaders power.
Other then that..Great video once again :D
But u know other than that the Persians were great allies with the georgians, Jalal had no choice- he needed more land to save his kingdom from the mongols
Nima Pourkarimi That's the worst fucking excuse ever
Thinking about Georgia and Armenia I just noticed that throughout history you guys have the worst geographic position in classical and medieval era. So many wars have been fought in those lands with so much pillaging. Horse lords from steppe alone had done so much plunder and loot in the region.
M Hasnan, Georgia had it way better then Armenia in history heck survived Arab and Turkish invasion and managed to expand nearly double its size in the 1100 and early 1200s.
Timur Aktolga Only reason turks took guria was because united georgia collapsed after retarded dukes challenged the king
Jalal Al Din was pretty tough took the combined might of 4 nations too touch him.
Thank you i was waiting for this video
I Just have a point for the people who says Arabs can't read at that time, The first word in Islam Holy Book "al-Quran" is "READ" and it was an Order from god, to be a Muslim you must read. Thanks.
Read what only books of islamic philosophy..!
Soo many restrictions on muslims..!
Better be an atheist
@@WarThunderers
Thats the point.
Oh really?? Is that the reason for the good literacy record in Afghanistan, Sudan etc?
Finally, someone that did not kill the envoys.
qutuz killed them and won haha
Wow, I just noticed that you guys are close to 200k subscribers. Pretty sure I've been watching your stuff since you had less than 50k, and that feels awesome :D You guys deserve the growth, your videos are great. Not just purely informative, but actually interesting and fun to watch. Wish my history lessons were like this.

I think you forgot an important note about the battle of Ain Jalut, the use of Canons, er, more like "Hand Cannoneers" (think "Princess Mononoke").
Even though they were not accurate like the bows used by the mongols, they had a devastating psychological on the mongol riders and their horses.
The reputation and track record of the mongols meant that the Mamluks could not take any chances, they studied the mongol tactics (hence the feigned retreat), and incorporated new technology originating from china.
It is said that the use of canons in this battle is what spread it to mainstay use.
EDIT: Forgot to thank you for your awesome content, as usual.
battle of ayn jalut is one of my favorite battles, my band even made a song about it lol
Great. :-)
this chanel become my favorite one...the one which i looking for long time agowell done bro.
Thanks!
The beacons are lit.
Damascus calls for aid.
And Cairo Will Answer.
Lotr 😂😂😂
the funny thing that the two cities did that in real life, every time one of them helps the other even in the twentieth century, when Israel bombed the egyptian radio station, the syran radio was "from demascus, here is Cairo".
God dammit Mongols.
You turned the most developed area in the Middle East and one of the most in Western Eurasia into a burned and sacked shadow of its former self.
Still though, destroying one of the largest if not the largest collection of knowledge in Western Eurasia and slaughtering thousands leading to irrigation not being maintained and failing thus worsening agriculture is a very bloodthirsty and horrible move.
dont kill diplomats! it is not polite
Vic-Chan its only genocide if its about jews christians
"You can see they sent envoy for peaceful solution yet they deny that and asks total destruction. City that become vassal still left unharmed." -- Oh, so it was the fault of those that refused when asked to become slaves? How dare they...
Actually the Ilkhanate repaired the whole region after the sacking, and it became one of the most prosperous areas in the Ilkhanate realm.
I like how you gave a pause before the ‘were not killed’.
Your videos are amazing "cliffnotes", if you will, of happenings of great importance throughout history. I really think that modern day history teachers should use your videos, and others like this to teach their students about parts of history. You make it factorial, but still cool and exciting to listen to. I think more people should subscribe to this.
Btw Mongols #1 civ in aoe2 :)
Thank you! :-)
Took revenge on Ain Jalut 😉😉😉. Sultan Saifuddin Qutuz and Baibars were great commanders.

Until baibars killed qutuz
Thank you so much for that video ,very good work
Thanks for watching!
11:37 When that sweet orchestral beat drops
The atrocities of Hulagu in Baghdad should be the main point of this lecture. They were executed methodically and massively just because the Caliph refused to surrender the first time. "First the Tigris run blak" with the ink of all libraries, Madrassas, hospitals, "Then it run red". Only a group of Nestorian Christians were spared, because Hulagu´s wife ws a Nestorian.Then Some cities in the Levant, like Damascus, surrendered, and others suffered the brutal fate of Baghdad. Not just executions by the thousand, but also acts of torture like forcing the tortured to eat his own flesh.
But at that time the Mongol brutal wave was crumbling . "Go on where the hooves of the Mongol horses can take us" had said Gengis. But they had no navy to cross to Japan, or to attack Egypt. In Europe they had been stopped by King Bela in Hungary: Batu´s Chinese engineers faced masonry castles, not brick was like those of Baghdad. The West was a mass of mountains and forests, that was not the steppe or the wooden fortress of Rus. Therre was a unity already in Hungary, german principalities and nearby states. And the age of gunpowder was rendering composite bows old fashioned, useless in damp forest areas as the cavalry. The Mongols belonged to the Eurasian steppe, and they remained there until being diluted into Turkish khanates.
Hulagu was *born* Christian hehehe

again thanks for sharing
Love Mongolia from turkey
I swear i wish my history teacher would show us these videos in class rather than boring old low quality vids. This channel deserves more subs and i will do everything i can to get people to subscribe.
Interesting fact, the Ayyubids were the grandsons of Saladin. An-Nasir Yusuf was Saladin's great-grandson.
Saladin's real name was Yusuf Ibn Ayyub, Saladin was a title that meant "Righteous in Faith"
Qutuz and Baybars was great Sultans
The first saved the world from the invasion of the Mongols In Ain Jalut
and the second he prefaced a great military operations for finished the rule of the crusaders in the east like The conquer of Antioch on 1268 and continue the battales aginst the Mongols ( In The Battle of Elbistan 1277)
Defeatinga small mongol army "saved the world"? You do know that the Mongols were defeated many times, even before this battle, did they also "save the world"? The Mongol empire had internal conflicts, that's why it dissolved.
At least she saved the Muslim world ;) :)
Monsterxdude hahaha,you are not satisfied watching Islam victory right.Woknows the small army of mongol can destroy any empire.
Monsterxdude Did you know this small battle made the Mamluk stand one more time to fight the mongol again in bigger battle?If the Mamluk lost you think crusader can defeat them?Who knows who can and who can't.The ratio of gaining victory against the Mongol is like 4:10
Mamluks eventually got defeated at the last MONGOL-MAMLUK war.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wadi_al-Khazandar
Mongols chased them until gaza. Which chagatai khanate attacked ilkhanate, thus saving mamluk ass.
Later Timurids(Mongols-turko) came and Destroyed mamluks.
So much victory to mamluks. lol
Even though I've watched this countless times it still gives me a rush 😀
It's really cool these alliances that form from the battles. The Mongol Conquests were really like a mini-world war.
This was the most accurate version of the battle. Kitbuga had fought in the area for 15 years. So he must have been confident about the quality of his forces.
Realy love your animations looks like creative assembly had done it . Cutscence before the game starts . Brilliant ..
Thank you very much!
hulagu's mother was christian thats why he spared only christians in baghdad and didn't attack europe
What a load of Bullshit... actually he spared the Christians because they helped him fight Muslims
@@donjon6244 are u crazy not Just Hulagu was child of a Christian like themself, Hulagu was a Christian(Christianism Nestorian was very common inter Mongolia and turkic tribes in 1100s) when He invaded the Armenia He not atacked nothing... his child Akaca Khan(same being not muslim) talk a no-sucessfull aliance with Pope Gregory and Edward of England to try smash the islamism in Persia

He is a Turkic and after the invasion of Baghdad, he accepted Islam. You can learn this information from Timur's daily. Timur who is a Ozbek Turk wrote :" we learnt that Hülagu Han accepted Islam religion with 20 thousand Turk soldiers and after we learnt this news, we have been happy."

By the greatest empire the world has ever seen, do you mean in terms of land mass? You make excellent videos, by the way!
Yes, in terms of the land, mostly. Thanks!
I'm quite sure you already know this, but the British Empire was the largest empire the world has ever seen in the 1920s. The British Empire had approximately 35.5 million square km of territory. The Mongols had approximately 24 million square km of territory. It's a little bit silly to mention, considering there are many ways to measure an empire, but i thought i would throw that out there.)
i think you're right but to be fair i think mongols empire was much more impressive since they fought more and less equal enemies (in term of military & technology ) ... while some of the biggest British colonies in australia , africa , northern america were considered primitive even by iron age standard !
max zak sure.) Like i said, there are many ways to measure an empire.
mongol empire fought enemies in strong phase of millitary history. and u.k empire fought in Bharat which was already fighting war from 636 to 1757.
1757 first u.k attack on Bhartiya sampraday.u.k empire also occupy america australia,others which had no large standing armies.
Qutuz who defeated them is Jalal ad-Din's nephew and the prince of the Khwarezmian Empire who was sold into slavery after the fall of Khwarezm to a mamluk general in Egypt(mamluks were sultan's guards) after the 9th crusade the sultan died and after a power struggle Qutuz became the ruler of Egypt

Ain Jalut was the turning point in history.....
Something Egyptians must be proud of.....!
The way the story of the Mongols ultimately turned out reminds me of the verse from the glorious Quran that reads ‘They plan, and Allah plans, But Allah is the best of planners’.
The were such a terrifying force and crushed Muslim army after Muslim army and it seemed Egypt would fall next, that they would take our holy lands in the Hejaz and in Jerusalem. It seemed Mongols would take over the world.
Ultimately internal politics and the conversion to Islam of Berle Khan and his war with Hulagu was timed in such a way that Hulagu never had the chance to retaliate to Ain Jalut properly otherwise we would have marched down with 100,000 men if he wanted and finished Islam as a religion completely.
But this was not meant to be and Islam wasn’t supposed to be finished, because Islam is the true religion of God. Baybars is a huge reason for this, and god placed him in the right place at the right time to defend his religion and territory. The mongols were complacent at the wrong time and place.
Today there are 1.8 Billion Muslims in the world of all ethnicites. And there are less than 4 million ethnic mongols of Mongolia who identify as such. History could have been much different, however as I said… Allah is the best of planners.
The way Islam emerged and the challenges it has seen and survived from day one when Muhammad was persecuted for preaching it in Mecca, to many Islamic empires warring with each other and crumbling, to the mongol catastrophe. It is truly phenomenal to see this religion emerged through it all, somehow someway. If it’s not protected by the creator of this world, there’s little else that explains its survival.
Baibars and Kutuz both came Turkic khipcak origin. One Turks fall one Turks win. Kutuz gets revenge of His uncle Jalal Ad Din Harzemshah.
