Ignoring all the horrible stuff that came along with it, Genghis Khan is one of the most spectacular lives in history. He literally came out of nowhere and took over half the world. Being alive at that time and just trying to wrap your head around the massive shift in power that happened must have been insane.
Just want to add that there's a great series on Temujin by ExtraHistory @ /watch?v=3cVTVF6ioaY Also you! love your series on the Roman Empire (and congrats for the animation upgrade)
One correction from what I read Jamuqai did not help Genghis kill his older brother. This happened when Genghis his mom and his brothers were left on their own to wander. The dispute was over not sharing of food with the family, Genghis and his younger brothers shot him with arrows. Jamuqai came on the scene later.
He gained power because he was a member of the Khamag Mongol nobility as all his ancestors were ruling Khans....People act like he came up from nothing....lol
Amazing how the Mongol Empire originate from an illiterate man who was once a slave. The stats were stacked against him - and yet his legacy would be one of the largest land empires in history!
A movie would be too short and wouldn't do the Mongol conquests justice. A GoT style series would be better, with each 1-2 seasons being a different Khan.
Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (2007) It only covers the beginning of all this but it is a fantastic movie. Note* you will need to watch with subtitles because the movie is completely in Mongolian.
He was possibly the greatest military leader in all of human history. He started out as a poor nomad with almost nothing and ended up ruling an empire that covered an incredible amount of land.
@@Kalleosini Alexander and Subuthai are probably the two greatest generals in all of history. But nation and army building wise Alexanders father (Phillip), Genghis Khan and Cyrus the great are among the greatest.
+Ulaş Aldağ I agree I was about to write something in that sense but suddenly my comment was a 60 word rant haha the political and social reforms Temujin brought to the mongol peoples would be virtually unheard of in Europe until the french revolution.
@@Kalleosini nope, at its heighest, england was not able to afford war with germany with help of rest of superpowers not to mention its industry that was not enough in 1910s. American economy was stronger.
Most of the British Empire was a bunch of vast empty masses of lands at a time where most of the world besides Western Europe was backward and under crisis. Yawn. But all due credit to England of course :)
Genghis Khan was one of the greatest warriors that ever lived on the earth yet he was one of the greatest Statesmen very wise and really enjoyed peace and had a forgiving heart until he was pushed too far then there was no hope for his enemy
Conquered being the operative word. All technological innovation is borrowed/stolen, hence how ideas spread. When the walls of an enemy's city are crumbling, it is of little consequence whether the trebuchets that did it were invented by you or someone else.
im saying they didn't develop tech but through conquering others used their tech (not stealing in terms of copying the enemy while they are active enemies but having them supply tech after they've been conquered) i could be wrong and maybe they did develop their own tech
I love Genghis Khan. He is the only great hero I can think of who didn't have a head start of some kind. He didn't start with connections to the elites, he wasn't carried by a noble family, he didn't marry into power, he didn't inherit a ton of money and buy his kingdom, in general he didn't start with ANY unfair advantages. Everything, and I mean everything, that he acquired he had to earn. Suffice to say, every single great leader you can name had some kind of unearned, unfair advantage EXCEPT Genghis Khan (with, maybe, ten exceptions at most). Far as I'm concerned, he's the only true rags to riches story. He gives me hope. He earned his position through merit and not by cheating. The reason this matters to me is because I'm severely impoverished. Not nearly as much as him, but I'm in such a position that if I were arrested and put in prison I'd consider that an upgrade. None of the other possible heroes I could have are relatable at all as none of the ones I can think of are in my position, except for Genghis Khan who had it worse. TL;DR: Assuming the stories are true, Genghis Khan is my hero above all other important leaders for one crucial reason. He earned his power himself through work and grit and not through connections or inherited wealth. I admire that.
Excellent overview of an endlessly intriguing people. The Timurids really deserve their own video; the strange amalgamation of Mongol, Turkic and Persian culture; and the campaigns whose staggering death toll rivaled even Genghis Khan's, the Timurids are probably the most fascinating of all the Mongol successor states.
The Nestorian church had been in sharp decline since well before Timur; the major catalyst for the collapse of Christianity in Central Asia was the onset of the Black Death in the 1340's. Timur is given far too much blame for the demise of Nestorianism, which mostly happened well before the Timurid Empire came to being. I might also remind you that his predecessors under the original Mongol Empire, and then the Ilkhanate, had on many occasions razed entire cities in Persia, the Middle East and Central Asia, and annihilated their entire populations without mercy. So, unless your criteria for "monster" is dubiously based solely upon how the people in question treated Christendom, then you can hardly go pointing fingers at Timur while absolving previous Mongol rulers. History is not contest of virtue, and if it was then everyone would lose.
@@Smartacus98 False. Chinggis Khan and his descendants are religiously tolerant excluding islamic Mongols. Chinggis Khan only destroyed mosques that were built upon the destruction of a dharmic temple. Chinggis Khan and his descendants merely restored the terrible state of temples and they retaliated against intolerant muslims. Chinggis Khan and his non muslim descendants are saints in comparison with Timurid monsters.
0:30 I think he murdered his half-brother (not his older brother). It was because his half-brother wasn't willing to share food when Genghis Khan and his blood brother, Jamuka, were starving. When Genghis Khan's father died of poisining, his family were left alone. Their tribe left them behind. They needed to hunt for food and life wasn't easy for them. Now when Genghis Khan's half brother was eating food without even thinking about his closest family, Genghis Khan killed him. It's also worth mentioning that he was only 9 when he killed his own half brother. It showed how ruthless Genghis Khan was at a young age.
They teleported,We was happy until they came.But great work,I didn’t except you will include Timur in mongol history.He was a turco-mongol guy.Crimean khanate became vassal of ottomans in 1480(?).
Hi, I want to send me these photos and information because when you make a presentation about Genghis Khan, please help me? I don't have enough information for three minutes.
@@EpimetheusHistory Imagine full mongol might coming into vietnam. It was just one of 4 khanate's southern governor used some battalions and they glorify those battles and brag about they stopped mongol conquest and saved the world.
@@Tomoesong Exactly like the battle of Ain Jalut, where 1/10 of 1/3 of the invading mongol army that was defeated there which supposedly saved the world from mongol domination is just as ludicrous if not more.
@@googane7755 Actually. If Ain Jalut was successfully conquered, then the Mongols would have a very easy time to advance through the entire middle east, europe, and the maghreb. Also to note that the mongol empire at that time was already fractured into multiple states. The Golden Horde was pissed at Hulagu (the ruler of illkhanate) for sacking baghdad. And he'd be happy to send big aids to the mamluks like what the kipchaks did for them.
The huge loss of 2 fleets in invading Japan really saved Europe's bacon. The plan was to quickly conquer Japan, then move those forces west to form a huge invasion force vs Europe.. think about that for a bit. Two out of nowhere typhoon on Japan's coast, many years apart, wrecked the Mongol's fleets, first losing 40K men and later, 120K men!
Epimetheus, are you researching for your video on the history of Argentina? Have you used Wikipedia for reference? Please respond to my comment, Epimetheus.
History classes should teach about this at school..they taught us Romans and Greeks and Egypt empires..at school..damn love to learn about this at school in my days
Hey love the work but can you consider doing a history of 5 min for native americans as I cannot find anything on them and it would be cool to know more about them!
Genghis Khan was a successful Hitler. The Mongol invasion killed half of the population of Hungary within 2 years and most of the country was deserted. It was a genocide. Took hundreds of years to repopulate and some areas were never rebuilt. Their cruelty and savagery were legendary. They were the worst in our history. I'm Hungarian for the record. I'm not trying to be funny here but this tragedy would partially explain why Hungarians and East Europeans don't have white guilt after suffering genocide form people of the Mongoloid race (non-whites) As opposed to West Europe. Similar situation for us when the Islamic invasion of East Europe happened just a few hundred years after the Mongol's.
Ghengis Khan never tried to extinguish whole race. Difference is there. At that dark pages of middle ages , everyone was trying to conquer each other. Ghengis was just better than other monarchs. Don't tell your country didn't have have monarch (unless you're from united states of america)
Fun fact from this video: Now I understood that how Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent(1520-1566) is a descendant of Genghis Khan. Sultan Suleyman's father Sultan Selim I (1512-1520) married Hafsa Sultana who was a Shahzadi/Princess from Shah Girai's royal family. They ruled Crimean Khanate which is the successor state of Golden Horde and it was a part of Mongol Empire. Sultan Mehmed II Fatih conquer Crimea and Crimea became a vassal of Ottoman Empire. N/B: My first comment on youtube.
I know I'm being a twat here but it really bugs me when people use "whom" when it's not good English to do so, the reason being it's become so outdated it is only used to give the impression of being well-read. "Whom" should only be used in cases where "him", "her" or "them" could be transposed into the sentence (I'm simplifying), so it was used incorrectly within seconds of the video starting. That being said, that doesn't detract from how much I love the effort and thought that went into this video, I loved that you mentioned the Ilkhanate as they so often get overlooked, and I also didnt realize the relatively small (compared to the size of the Mongol Empire at its zenith) acquisitions of Genghis Khan. Really appreciate the effort, despite my initial rant :P
Also the Mughal empire in India was an offspring of the Mongol because Babur who conquered India by defeating the Lodi in 1526 was a descendant of Timur Lang who descended himself from Genghis Khan.
Timur himself wasn’t really a descendant of genghis khan, but both him and Temujin were distant cousin as they both shared a common ancestor who is tumanay khan. But Babur on the other hand was a descendant of genghis khan through his mother qutlugh
it sucks to study history and see all these powerful empires collapse and get divided back into their own seperate countries again. it just goes to show that humans can never stick together
Kazakhs ruled the Golden Horde, this is our history, not a Mongol, and Genghis Khan was a Kazakh. And their names were not Mongols, but Mughals. The history of Kazakhstan was rewritten by Russia and China. And the capital of Genghis Khan, Karakorum, is located on the territory of Kazakhstan, in the Bukhtarma reservoir on the Irtysh River, which was flooded in the USSR. All tribes live on the territory of Kazakhstan. All Kazakh khans were Chingizids, This is the history of the Kazakhs, the Mongols have nothing to do with Genghis Khanau, you are looking for in Kazakhstan. And the Europeans called us Tatars, the Chinese - yuan, and these lands - Tartaria. If you check, their names are all Kazakh
I’m not sure if this would apply today with mean of international communications, but every empire of yore reached a size too great to govern from a single throne, leading to its eventual collapse...

His rise to greatness was far more humble and far more impressive than Alexander the Great and Caesar.
True the hardships he went through were amazing. He is very much self made more than any other great military commanders. Tamerlame also comes close.
He gained power because he was a member of the Khamag Mongol nobility as all his ancestors were ruling Khans....People act like he came up from nothing....lol

He never was a slave! Watch your mouth.
Ilkhanate was always interesting to me. its such a weird mashup of the east asian and Iranian/Arabic/Turkish cultures.
Me too
Although it’s a Muslim Khanate it was actually a diverse of religious beliefs
lol are you insinuating something?
k well they really dont so stop

Timur himself wasn’t really a descendant of genghis khan, but both him and Temujin were distant cousin as they both shared a common ancestor who is tumanay khan. But Babur on the other hand was a descendant of genghis khan through his mother qutlugh
What about the Mughals in India ?
aymen marouani Babur khan who originated Mughal empire was descendant of Chagatai, 3rd eldest son of Genghis Khan.
They were direct lineage of Genghis Khan
it sucks to study history and see all these powerful empires collapse and get divided back into their own seperate countries again. it just goes to show that humans can never stick together
Does someone from here familiar with the name Hwar Boqha or somethinf like that from history?
Kazakhs ruled the Golden Horde, this is our history, not a Mongol, and Genghis Khan was a Kazakh. And their names were not Mongols, but Mughals. The history of Kazakhstan was rewritten by Russia and China. And the capital of Genghis Khan, Karakorum, is located on the territory of Kazakhstan, in the Bukhtarma reservoir on the Irtysh River, which was flooded in the USSR. All tribes live on the territory of Kazakhstan. All Kazakh khans were Chingizids, This is the history of the Kazakhs, the Mongols have nothing to do with Genghis Khanau, you are looking for in Kazakhstan. And the Europeans called us Tatars, the Chinese - yuan, and these lands - Tartaria. If you check, their names are all Kazakh
Go to the shame corner
@@temuuka4199 Waiting for an apology in the future :)
Kazakhstan is a Russian puppet state. Some warriors you are. Stop stealing history

You used wrong photo the full faces metal helmet is kipchak european and anotolian turkish empires armoe
Why are the Magyars and Hungary a different thing on the map. I thought the Magyars where at Hungary on the BCs even
Just a correction the empire was already divided before the conquest of south china
I’m not sure if this would apply today with mean of international communications, but every empire of yore reached a size too great to govern from a single throne, leading to its eventual collapse...
Wat about noyan
