Many people seem to comment before watching. The video clearly explains the huge value of dominating Arabia due to its importance in trade, which is the most crucial aspect for any empire at that time. Saying it was a desert makes no sense. Rome tried hard to take it, and they simply couldn't do it for multiple factors, as explained in the video. Why are you clicking on historical videos if you're not interested in watching them and learning about history?
Its the internet, people take everything as a joke. The Rome were exhausted during the fight against the Persians, to the point that they just fled the Tabuk Ghazwah and stopped fighting with the Muslims empire.
The weather conditions and desert lands of this region and the difficult living conditions that existed inside these regions made it difficult for Rome, and only the native people of this region could easily live in these regions with their physical development and experience.
Yathrib literally meant “Cursed.” Due to previous outbreaks of malaria and other diseases, people suspected that the city was cursed and referred to it as such. The Prophet ﷺ always changed names of places - and even people - who were unfairly or negatively labeled.
That's what religion does. You can't defeat a people that have no fear of death. You can't defeat a people that welcome death as a way to get to Paradise. Same thing happened with the Germanic and viking tribes, the Romans were never able to defeat Germanic tribes because they had no fear of death, they welcome it because dying in battle meant going to Valhalla.

The Arabs in those days had one big virtue and that was banding together in the face of a foreign foe. They were tribal and at each other's throats most of the time, but when push came to shove they always came together. It is fascinating if you read about their history, they had a proper code of conduct, relations, and honor, despite all their vices.

@@MM-tw7pu No, it is not so; The Arabs (Saudis)' belief in Islam and their pride in their race and tribes is different from the belief of any other Muslims. The Arabs (Saudi Arabia) defeated the two most powerful empires on earth, the Romans and the Persians, at the same time (at that time the Muslim fighters were only Arabs “Saudis”). Of course, no one was able to colonize the Arabs (Saudi Arabia) ever, neither before nor after Islam. But other Islamic countries were colonized before Islam by the Romans and Persians, and after Islam also by Britain, France, Spain and other countries.

"The arab Muslims were too well trained and too great in number..." this is not true. They were severely outnumbered and were inferior in equipment. Persia and Rome were not exhausted fighting each other. Muslims won because Allah ta'Ala wanted them to win. But the disbelievers do not like this explanation, so they invent ahistoric "history".
13:10 Correction: The Battle of Ajnadayn where Muslims defeated Romans that happened in 30 July 634 AD the Romans army was 90,000 men and the Muslims army was 30,000 men. What super army you are talking about???? if you are arab or muslim thumbs up this comment
Regarding the strength of the confronting armies, H. A. R. Gibb in the Encyclopaedia of Islam argues that, at best, both forces were made up of 10,000 men, and that the numbers offered in the Muslim sources are "highly exaggerated", especially as regards the Byzantines.[2] David Morray in the Oxford Companion to Military History, however, places both armies at approximately 20,000 strong.[3]

I couldn't care less for all of this baseless mythical information you read from Wikipedia. Just because a historical description of someone or something somewhere along the borders of middle east today is linked with the word "arab" that doesn't mean at all that they're the arabs that we know them of today. "Asia" was a word coined by the Greeks to describe modern day Anatolia and it's people but today we describe a population of 2 billion as Asians far from Anatolia. "ifrikiya" was a Roman Latin word to describe Carthaginians and look today how it represents Africa."Aithopians" was a Greek word to describe black people and today a country is founded on that name. The word literally means nothing to me and the connection to modern day arabs is insane because I'm pretty sure the word was used as a derogatory term to mean nomads and there is no arab genetics so they meant to call the king "the king of -nomads-" and those tribes picked up the word to today and named it themselves and since arabs in the medieval times were well known traders who gave Italy their pasta from China for example and you saying there was arab inscriptions since 3000BC, I find it hard that there is no mention of them in any other inscription of Roman or Egyptian or any other dynasty that mentions them "arab" even though they're well known traders... don't come at me with mythical sources of a made up religion that is a CTRL C + CTRL V Judaism. I need strong sources that doesn't call them "arab" in a derogatory way as nomads but rather as citizens of an empire or a known civilisation...

In reality the pre-Islamic Arabs did not live only in the Arabian peninsula. Not only were entire tribes and Arabic-speaking towns found deep inside the Graeco-Roman and Iranian empires, but large frontier zones were often governed, either partially or wholly, by Arab vassal dynasties. At the same time the 'superpowers' of Rome-Byzantium and Sassanian Iran dominated large parts of the Arabian peninsula, even including Yemen in the far south. Though there were towns throughout much of Arabia, these were few, scattered and generally small except in Yemen. However, given the Arab peoples' long involvement in the affairs of neighbouring empires, it is not surprising to find sophisticated Mediterranean and Iranian styles of architecture deep within Arabia. Some examples reflected strong links between Syrian Palmyra and central Arabia, between Jordanian Petra and western Arabia, and between the Kingdom of Hatra in northern Iraq with many parts of Arabia.
In the Eastern Egyptian desert too, then sometimes called Arab Desert. What you're describing is anyhow rather the late Roman Empire's ethno-geography. I'm unsure that the Ghassanids had already taken over the Syrian Dessert yet in the days of Augustus.
@@enkryptron Julia domna severan dynasty had a bigger impact, It was largely due to the Severans that Philip the Arab eventually became emperor.

@@خالدالبريكي-س9ر yeah but they had a canal that connected the Nile river to the Red Sea for trading with India in which Ethiopia was the first stop so there wasn’t even a need to secure this route for that reason the southern Arabs also relied on trade with the Roman’s for their gemstones so wouldn’t have cut off access to India so they already had everything they needed in that regard anyway
I would suggest the reason that Rome couldn't conquer Arabia is the same reason the couldn't conquer the Scottish highlands. It just was not worth the effort. The highlands offered poor land with a few sheep herders and oil was not a thing back then. There was no economic benefit to just grabbing land for it own sake. Rome demanded a return for its expenditure of Blood and Treasure. So a better question would be to ask... Why Rome didn't bother to conquer Arabia? Or the Scottish highlands for that matter.
But while Scotland was on the north sea (which wasn't important and was accessible through different Roman regions), Arabia had access to one of the most important trading routes, the Arabian sea to India and the East.
@@tezcatlipocaone8796I would disagree w this. The quality of the land is what matters, Rome would have little want & use for majority of Arabian land outside of the coast

@@TheBarser First, may allah guide you to the right path brother. Secondly, I don’t know why you said the other option is to eat everyone else, in quran it is said that you should not harm people who do not harm you. When you talk about Persia and rome, you mentioned a point that I liked, which is in contrast to Persia. rome took more time to weaken and die. Before the strike we developed to Persia. Our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. Sent two messages to the roman and Persian. One to Chosroes the King of Persia carried by his messenger Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi That reads as follows: “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad (saw), the Messenger of God, to Chosroes, the Chief of Iran. Whoever submits to perfect guidance, and believes in Allah, and bears witness that Allah is One, and has no equal or partner, and that Muhammad (saw) is His Servant and Messenger, on him be peace. O King, under the command of God, I invite you to Islam. For I have been sent by God as His Messenger to all mankind, so that I may warn all living men and complete my Message for all unbelievers. Accept Islam and protect yourself from all afflictions. If you reject this invitation, then the sin of the denial of all your people will rest on your head”. And Chosroes respond to that was that he tore it apart. And when Mohammed knew about his doing. he prayed to god that he get torn all.torn. which happened to him.. his son killed him and his kingdom fell. he Prophet (saw) sent this letter to Heraclius, Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, carried by his messenger ‘Dihyah bin Khalifah Al-Kalb In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, to Hercules, king of the Byzantines. Blessed are those who follow true guidance. I invite you to embrace Islam so that you may live in security. If you come within the fold of Islam, Allah will give you double reward, but in case you turn your back upon it, then the burden of the sins of all your people shall fall on your shoulders. Say (O Muhammad (saw): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims’. And he read it and said. If he was truly the real prophet then I will follow him and so his kingdom continued longer. If city reject islam then they must fight or buy a toll. And we should not harm citizens or anyone that surrenders. If they chose to be Muslims then we have no right on them. Islam is not a way to conquest as you say. May that clear things up And I hope you start reading about islam and decide for yourself may allah guide you

Because God was preparing the region for the Messenger Muhammad to purify the Arabic language from foreign languages that would have corrupted their eloquence, because simply the language is very important in Islam, and when the language was complete, God sent the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to the people so that they would follow the religion of truth.

@@gamalar3619 not true, Gallus'expedition of 27BC with 10000 men defeated any force, but due to tough conditions mainly due to bad knowledge of the area which caused the legion to take 6 months to reach the capital and thus overextended the legion resources, ended up withdrawing. The return route to Alessandria took six days, that gives an idea of the logistical problem the legion had faced in reaching the capital. The siege of the capital city of Marib only lasted one week then the legion run out of water, and decided to withdraw. 27 BCE was the only time the Roman legions marched to those locations, the destruction of the port of Eudaemon and the presence of the Roman fleet in the Red Sea made any other military expedition unnecessary.

This claim that Arabia was a "glaring blank space" (0:17) would be a lot more "glaring" if you showed Rome at its height, when it also possessed Mesopotamia. In this map, it doesn't look odd at all that Arabia was not part of Rome.

They did! Well, there was already a canal there, the Canal of the Pharaohs, also called the Ancient Suez Canal. The northern part of it was a bit to the west of where the Suez Canal is today, linking up with the Nile instead of going directly north to the Mediterranean. Construction was started by the ancient Egyptians in the 600s BC, and then by the Persians in the 500s BC, but it is unclear whether either of them actually managed to finish the canal works. They had problems with the height difference and with keeping the salt water out of the Nile. The Greek Ptolemaic engineers solved the problem in 275 BC by inventing water locks/canal locks. Under Roman emperor Trajan around year 100 AD, Romans reconstructed it in a slightly different place and built fortresses around it. The canal was closed in the late 700s, but some northwestern parts of it (in Kairo) still existed, called the Khalij, serving as a water supply (and more) for Kairo until the 1890s, when it was filled in. You can find photographs of it from the 1800s, it flows between houses like the canals in Amsterdam or Venice do.

The Levant was a vital link between the Greek areas in the north & Egypt. It had to be held, whatever the cost. Arabia was not so important, so long as the trade routes were open.
They tricked the Jews into supporting Roman rule at first because they presented themselves as rescuers to free them of the Greek-Persian Seleucid Empire (almost as evil as modern day Iran).
The Romans later probably realized that Arabia was the most important area that they should've gotten. They didn't anticipate that the people there would end up swallowing their empire in the region and even reaching Europe. It shows how misreading the value of a land can lead to a complete shake in the entire history.

@@Anonymouse166 I think you're talking about the role of the Muslim Levantine military leaders who expanded the empire later on, but I'm personally talking about how it started because the first spark is always the most crucial in history. The spark started in Arabia, and then they united with their neighbors in the Levant, which led to a more powerful military as they advanced. Plus, Jordan is basically part of the Levant and Arabia at the same time.
Arabia was not conqured because this is where the light of pure Monotheism and absolute aligience to no one except God and His Messenger will shine. People who had no desire for worldly matters or self glory but seeking only to please the One above the heavens.
Essentially, Arabia had no oil, it was just empty desert and held no territorial importance other than trade. Moreover, the ultimate aim of the Roman empire to begin with was to conquer the Mediterranean.
Arabia Felix was given that name for a reason it was 1 of the richest areas in the world. the only problem was that they needed to go from the center were the living condition's were hard but if they knew a better way then they would've for sure made it a goal to conquer southern Arabia. people mentioning oil like its the only natural resource that matters somehow back then trade routes and spices were essentials that's why the Nabateans were very rich and the same was for the south
I see this as being another example illustrating two connected fundamental flaws of later Roman expansion: 1) their preference for land routes and dominance leading to 2) them being slowed/countered/stopped due to the inability to provide the timely and required logistical support needed to achieve their expansion goals. The reasons they couldn't take Arabia are the same reasons they couldn't take the last 1/3 of the UK or Ireland. They refused to commit the proper required naval assets, strategies, and logistical ability to their campaigns so the distances became too great or difficult for them to achieve their goals. For example, had they committed more naval/marine campaigns directly to the southern regions for example, instead of their repeated attempts conquer the north and march to the south, who knows if they would have been more successful. And anyone noticing a Teutoberg theme with Syllaeus? The "what ifs" of history...
What I don't understand is why they went by land, when they could have just taken the corn of Africa to control the traffic... like today the French, US, and all the rest in Abidjan
One of the things that we derive wisdom from as Arab Muslims is that God Almighty chose His last prophet from the Arabian Peninsula, which is harsh and mostly deserts, where it is far from the ambitions of Khosrau, Caesar, and other tyrants, and far from any religious influence from them, because the people follow the religion of their kings, and this is how Islam emerges. As God Almighty wanted it, without existential danger from people like these during the period of the beginning of the call of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
All parts of the Arabian peninsula that were worth conquering were, in fact, conquered. The Persians controlled all of the Persian Gulf, Oman, Yemen, and northeastern Arabia during antiquity. The Romans controlled Hijaz, the Sinai, the northwest, and all of the western coastal Arabia. Notice that these conquered coastal territories hosted the vast majority of the peninsula's population, due to their more suitable environments and strategic locations in regards to trade. The only parts of Arabia to never be conquered were the central desolate deserts that were laughable to even consider bother conquering before the discovery of oil.
Persian invasion of Yemen?? They did not literally invade them, but rather the ruler of Yemen (Saif) was fighting a war with his brother, so he sought help from the Persians in exchange for an admission that Yemen nominally belonged to the Persians, and the Romans had not reached the Hijaz.
The most important events are omitted here. The Persian /Roman attrition wars that took almost 150 years and culminated during the reign of Heraclius was one of the two main reasons why Rome couldn't conquer Arabian peninsula. The other being the Northern German Barbarians, Slavs etc. attacking the Northern borders of the Empire. The resistance of the sparse Arabic tribes was no big deal and the value of Arabia was much less compared to the Persian Empire. The century long conflict between these two weakened both, resulted in Cilicia, Assyria and Mesopotamia being depopulated and left both empires open to attacks by the now united Umayyad Arabs under the banner of their newly interpreted and revamped Abrahamic religion.
Diodorus Siculus Greek historian in 1st century BC, in Bibliotheca Historica (Book II, Chapter 48) provided a breif description about Arabs and their lifestyle: “They lead a nomadic life in the desert, living in tents, and subsist off their flocks, moving from one place to another, as necessity demands. They neither cultivate the land nor plant any fruit-bearing trees, but they drink the milk of their animals and eat the meat, and from their herds they get wool, hair, and skins to make their garments. They live free from any ruler and refuse to submit to any foreign domination, enjoying a life of freedom and independence.”
Civil Wars weakened Rome to the point that they could no longer hold back the German tribes. Islam had nothing to do with not taking Arabia. The western Roman Empire was long gone by the 6th century.
He didn’t say Islam had anything to do with it he literally said it just wasn’t worth the effort and that when the rise of Islam came the romans chance of ever conquering Arabia were gone
False the Roman's moved their capital to Constantinople, held back and destroyed the Arab navy, and lasted another 600 years until the Turks conquered the city in 1453
the west and the east split way before the 6th century and before the fall of the western side (which was way weaker btw) the west lost to the german tribes while the east defeated the Persians second biggest empire of all time and then took some of the lost lands that was taking after the western side fell. he didn't say Islam stopped roman expansions in arabia but it ended their chances of ever doing so since it took all of their Asian side and African side lands
Rome struggled to subjugate Egypt for the same reason, specifically inner Egypt - the desert causing thinning supply lines. The only reason inner Egypt fell and Arabia didn’t was because of the river Nile, the romans could use that river to ferry soldiers and supply up and down from all around its empire. To conquer southern Arabia they would not only have to traverse the desert but the mountainous regions as well. Guerrilla warfare will be the bane of their existence.
The reason why Rome was able to conquer all those territories was that it had the advantage of raising empires.Before empires rise, all powerful states &civilizations in their neighborhoods decline. In Rome's time the Greeks, Egyptians &Carthaginians were all in decline. The rest of their neighbors were disunited tribes who lacked the organization &resources to tackle an empire.This remains the case untill the empire runs into other powerful socities or natural barriers.In Romes cases it was the parthians, desert in Arabia ,Africa &forests of Germany.
We rule the servants of God from the east to the west, from Spain and Portugal in the west to China and India in the east, the soldiers of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Extreme environment is always a good natural defense, deserts, snow, valleys, are all examples in history of factors that lead major powers to defeat, like russian winter largely responsible for n4z1 and napoleon's forces defeats, the sands of deserts stoping roman advance, the mountains in France and Italy almost defending Rome alone against Carthage, etc.

Many people seem to comment before watching. The video clearly explains the huge value of dominating Arabia due to its importance in trade, which is the most crucial aspect for any empire at that time. Saying it was a desert makes no sense. Rome tried hard to take it, and they simply couldn't do it for multiple factors, as explained in the video. Why are you clicking on historical videos if you're not interested in watching them and learning about history?
Because everyone only likes their version of history
Its the internet, people take everything as a joke.
The Rome were exhausted during the fight against the Persians, to the point that they just fled the Tabuk Ghazwah and stopped fighting with the Muslims empire.
Because white people and people forced to be taught their version of history glazes Rome for no reason.
The weather conditions and desert lands of this region and the difficult living conditions that existed inside these regions made it difficult for Rome, and only the native people of this region could easily live in these regions with their physical development and experience.
Because most people know more than you.

They were tribal and at each other's throats most of the time, but when push came to shove they always came together. It is fascinating if you read about their history, they had a proper code of conduct, relations, and honor, despite all their vices.

"ifrikiya" was a Roman Latin word to describe Carthaginians and look today how it represents Africa."Aithopians" was a Greek word to describe black people and today a country is founded on that name. The word literally means nothing to me and the connection to modern day arabs is insane because I'm pretty sure the word was used as a derogatory term to mean nomads and there is no arab genetics so they meant to call the king "the king of -nomads-" and those tribes picked up the word to today and named it themselves and since arabs in the medieval times were well known traders who gave Italy their pasta from China for example and you saying there was arab inscriptions since 3000BC, I find it hard that there is no mention of them in any other inscription of Roman or Egyptian or any other dynasty that mentions them "arab" even though they're well known traders... don't come at me with mythical sources of a made up religion that is a CTRL C + CTRL V Judaism.

In reality the pre-Islamic Arabs did not live only in the Arabian peninsula. Not only were entire tribes and Arabic-speaking towns found deep inside the Graeco-Roman and Iranian empires, but large frontier zones were often governed, either partially or wholly, by Arab vassal dynasties. At the same time the 'superpowers' of Rome-Byzantium and Sassanian Iran dominated large parts of the Arabian peninsula, even including Yemen in the far south. Though there were towns throughout much of Arabia, these were few, scattered and generally small except in Yemen. However, given the Arab peoples' long involvement in the affairs of neighbouring empires, it is not surprising to find sophisticated Mediterranean and Iranian styles of architecture deep within Arabia. Some examples reflected strong links between Syrian Palmyra and central Arabia, between Jordanian Petra and western Arabia, and between the Kingdom of Hatra in northern Iraq with many parts of Arabia.
yep, we remember Philip the Arab.

The highlands offered poor land with a few sheep herders and oil was not a thing back then. There was no economic benefit to just grabbing land for it own sake.

Whoever submits to perfect guidance, and believes in Allah, and bears witness that Allah is One, and has no equal or partner, and that Muhammad (saw) is His Servant and Messenger, on him be peace. O King, under the command of God, I invite you to Islam. For I have been sent by God as His Messenger to all mankind, so that I may warn all living men and complete my Message for all unbelievers. Accept Islam and protect yourself from all afflictions. If you reject this invitation, then the sin of the denial of all your people will rest on your head”.
And Chosroes respond to that was that he tore it apart. And when Mohammed knew about his doing. he prayed to god that he get torn all.torn. which happened to him.. his son killed him and his kingdom fell.
he Prophet (saw) sent this letter to Heraclius, Emperor of the Byzantine Empire,
carried by his messenger ‘Dihyah bin Khalifah Al-Kalb
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, to Hercules, king of the Byzantines. Blessed are those who follow true guidance. I invite you to embrace Islam so that you may live in security. If you come within the fold of Islam, Allah will give you double reward, but in case you turn your back upon it, then the burden of the sins of all your people shall fall on your shoulders. Say (O Muhammad (saw): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims’. And he read it and said. If he was truly the real prophet then I will follow him and so his kingdom continued longer.
If city reject islam then they must fight or buy a toll. And we should not harm citizens or anyone that surrenders. If they chose to be Muslims then we have no right on them. Islam is not a way to conquest as you say.
May that clear things up
And I hope you start reading about islam and decide for yourself may allah guide you

They still pretty well conquered the (eastern) Roman Empire regardless of who you call what and who conquered what and when.
Because God was preparing the region for the Messenger Muhammad to purify the Arabic language from foreign languages that would have corrupted their eloquence, because simply the language is very important in Islam, and when the language was complete, God sent the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to the people so that they would follow the religion of truth.

The return route to Alessandria took six days, that gives an idea of the logistical problem the legion had faced in reaching the capital.
The siege of the capital city of Marib only lasted one week then the legion run out of water, and decided to withdraw. 27 BCE was the only time the Roman legions marched to those locations, the destruction of the port of Eudaemon and the presence of the Roman fleet in the Red Sea made any other military expedition unnecessary.

This claim that Arabia was a "glaring blank space" (0:17) would be a lot more "glaring" if you showed Rome at its height, when it also possessed Mesopotamia. In this map, it doesn't look odd at all that Arabia was not part of Rome.

The Romans tried to invade Yemen but failed. The reason for the invasion was a commercial area.

Let's go another awesome history channel
It's strange that the Romans, having such road engineering, did not come up with idea of Suez Canal.
They did! Well, there was already a canal there, the Canal of the Pharaohs, also called the Ancient Suez Canal.
The northern part of it was a bit to the west of where the Suez Canal is today, linking up with the Nile instead of going directly north to the Mediterranean.
Construction was started by the ancient Egyptians in the 600s BC, and then by the Persians in the 500s BC, but it is unclear whether either of them actually managed to finish the canal works. They had problems with the height difference and with keeping the salt water out of the Nile.
The Greek Ptolemaic engineers solved the problem in 275 BC by inventing water locks/canal locks.
Under Roman emperor Trajan around year 100 AD, Romans reconstructed it in a slightly different place and built fortresses around it.
The canal was closed in the late 700s, but some northwestern parts of it (in Kairo) still existed, called the Khalij, serving as a water supply (and more) for Kairo until the 1890s, when it was filled in. You can find photographs of it from the 1800s, it flows between houses like the canals in Amsterdam or Venice do.

The Romans later probably realized that Arabia was the most important area that they should've gotten. They didn't anticipate that the people there would end up swallowing their empire in the region and even reaching Europe. It shows how misreading the value of a land can lead to a complete shake in the entire history.

@@Anonymouse166 I think you're talking about the role of the Muslim Levantine military leaders who expanded the empire later on, but I'm personally talking about how it started because the first spark is always the most crucial in history. The spark started in Arabia, and then they united with their neighbors in the Levant, which led to a more powerful military as they advanced. Plus, Jordan is basically part of the Levant and Arabia at the same time.

Oh man, the Romans were defeated in Ma’rib. We are one people. Stop creating division.
Arabia was not conqured because this is where the light of pure Monotheism and absolute aligience to no one except God and His Messenger will shine. People who had no desire for worldly matters or self glory but seeking only to please the One above the heavens.
@RishPanjeetJr walking around, commenting Anti-Arabic comments is not an Indian, his name is also Gibberish made-up nonsense, not an Indian name.
Essentially, Arabia had no oil, it was just empty desert and held no territorial importance other than trade.
Moreover, the ultimate aim of the Roman empire to begin with was to conquer the Mediterranean.
Essentially, they lost.
Arabia Felix 😮
Actually they tried already to attack Yemen but it was a big fail
Arabia Felix was given that name for a reason it was 1 of the richest areas in the world. the only problem was that they needed to go from the center were the living condition's were hard but if they knew a better way then they would've for sure made it a goal to conquer southern Arabia. people mentioning oil like its the only natural resource that matters somehow back then trade routes and spices were essentials that's why the Nabateans were very rich and the same was for the south
He who has not tasted grapes says sour
I see this as being another example illustrating two connected fundamental flaws of later Roman expansion: 1) their preference for land routes and dominance leading to 2) them being slowed/countered/stopped due to the inability to provide the timely and required logistical support needed to achieve their expansion goals. The reasons they couldn't take Arabia are the same reasons they couldn't take the last 1/3 of the UK or Ireland. They refused to commit the proper required naval assets, strategies, and logistical ability to their campaigns so the distances became too great or difficult for them to achieve their goals. For example, had they committed more naval/marine campaigns directly to the southern regions for example, instead of their repeated attempts conquer the north and march to the south, who knows if they would have been more successful. And anyone noticing a Teutoberg theme with Syllaeus? The "what ifs" of history...
Adding to this, the Romans would never be able to get to The Americas now matter how much you try to spin it.
Why didn't the Romans just take time to build a port and navy and carry troops on the red sea downwards?...
They did. They tried to conquer Yemen, which is on the other side of the Red Sea, but failed.
Good point. I think it has something to do with the wind.
Exactly 💯
What I don't understand is why they went by land, when they could have just taken the corn of Africa to control the traffic... like today the French, US, and all the rest in Abidjan
One of the things that we derive wisdom from as Arab Muslims is that God Almighty chose His last prophet from the Arabian Peninsula, which is harsh and mostly deserts, where it is far from the ambitions of Khosrau, Caesar, and other tyrants, and far from any religious influence from them, because the people follow the religion of their kings, and this is how Islam emerges. As God Almighty wanted it, without existential danger from people like these during the period of the beginning of the call of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him

The deserts were the elephant in the room of the Roman expedition to Arabia!
All parts of the Arabian peninsula that were worth conquering were, in fact, conquered. The Persians controlled all of the Persian Gulf, Oman, Yemen, and northeastern Arabia during antiquity. The Romans controlled Hijaz, the Sinai, the northwest, and all of the western coastal Arabia. Notice that these conquered coastal territories hosted the vast majority of the peninsula's population, due to their more suitable environments and strategic locations in regards to trade. The only parts of Arabia to never be conquered were the central desolate deserts that were laughable to even consider bother conquering before the discovery of oil.
Persian invasion of Yemen?? They did not literally invade them, but rather the ruler of Yemen
(Saif) was fighting a war with his brother, so he sought help from the Persians in exchange for an admission that Yemen nominally belonged to the Persians, and the Romans had not reached the Hijaz.
@@SaifAlrajhi You are rewriting history because you do not accept that big black cocks have been inside Arab women since antiquity.
Aksum Empire
But Hijaz isn’t in Northwestern Arabia 😅😂
The Romans controlled Hijaz? Since when?
The Ethiopian controled yemen
The most important events are omitted here. The Persian /Roman attrition wars that took almost 150 years and culminated during the reign of Heraclius was one of the two main reasons why Rome couldn't conquer Arabian peninsula. The other being the Northern German Barbarians, Slavs etc. attacking the Northern borders of the Empire. The resistance of the sparse Arabic tribes was no big deal and the value of Arabia was much less compared to the Persian Empire. The century long conflict between these two weakened both, resulted in Cilicia, Assyria and Mesopotamia being depopulated and left both empires open to attacks by the now united Umayyad Arabs under the banner of their newly interpreted and revamped Abrahamic religion.
Ummayad? It was rashidun caliphate who did that
Diodorus Siculus Greek historian in 1st century BC, in Bibliotheca Historica (Book II, Chapter 48) provided a breif description about Arabs and their lifestyle:
“They lead a nomadic life in the desert, living in tents, and subsist off their flocks, moving from one place to another, as necessity demands. They neither cultivate the land nor plant any fruit-bearing trees, but they drink the milk of their animals and eat the meat, and from their herds they get wool, hair, and skins to make their garments. They live free from any ruler and refuse to submit to any foreign domination, enjoying a life of freedom and independence.”

Next video suggestion. Why didn’t Arabia conquer Rome
Civil Wars weakened Rome to the point that they could no longer hold back the German tribes. Islam had nothing to do with not taking Arabia. The western Roman Empire was long gone by the 6th century.
He didn’t say Islam had anything to do with it he literally said it just wasn’t worth the effort and that when the rise of Islam came the romans chance of ever conquering Arabia were gone
False the Roman's moved their capital to Constantinople, held back and destroyed the Arab navy, and lasted another 600 years until the Turks conquered the city in 1453
the west and the east split way before the 6th century and before the fall of the western side (which was way weaker btw) the west lost to the german tribes while the east defeated the Persians second biggest empire of all time and then took some of the lost lands that was taking after the western side fell. he didn't say Islam stopped roman expansions in arabia but it ended their chances of ever doing so since it took all of their Asian side and African side lands
Rome struggled to subjugate Egypt for the same reason, specifically inner Egypt - the desert causing thinning supply lines. The only reason inner Egypt fell and Arabia didn’t was because of the river Nile, the romans could use that river to ferry soldiers and supply up and down from all around its empire. To conquer southern Arabia they would not only have to traverse the desert but the mountainous regions as well. Guerrilla warfare will be the bane of their existence.
The reason why Rome was able to conquer all those territories was that it had the advantage of raising empires.Before empires rise, all powerful states &civilizations in their neighborhoods decline. In Rome's time the Greeks, Egyptians &Carthaginians were all in decline. The rest of their neighbors were disunited tribes who lacked the organization &resources to tackle an empire.This remains the case untill the empire runs into other powerful socities or natural barriers.In Romes cases it was the parthians, desert in Arabia ,Africa &forests of Germany.
