    -----
    Before the rise of Genghis Khan-before the battles with samurai and the siege of Baghdad-the Mongols were merely one of many nomadic peoples enduring life on the periphery of powerful Chinese states. But the Mongol mode of living, beliefs about the world, and acquaintance with war turned them into relentless, elite warriors. This is the beautiful, cruel, and hardcore world that created the Mongols, and planted the seeds of an empire. Thank you to ‪@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory‬ for guidance on sources and script feedback

      When was Gengish Khan a woman collecting wild berries. I saw in his life story, that he killed his brother, when he was ten years old, because his brother was selfish. He had very tough childhood being a slave after his father died around the same time, but he fought for his freedom and became very good military general even after losing to his friend Jamukha in a battle, that sent him as a slave to India.

    Most of the videos on world war history deal with the world conquest of Genghis Khan, the world conqueror of the world's most powerful empire, the Great Mongol Empire, but the history of the wars of conquest by the ancient Central Asian Mongol nomadic cavalry before Genghis Khan's world conquest is also incredibly powerful.
    몽골사하면 세계 최강대국 대몽골제국의 세계 정복자 칭기스칸의 세계 정복에 대해 가르쳐주는 세계전쟁사 영상이 대부분이었는데, 칭기스칸의 세계 정복 이전의 고대 북방 중앙아시아 몽골족 유목 기병대들의 정복전쟁사도 엄청나게 막강하다.

      Thanks! This period is often not discussed at all when covering the Mongol Empire, but a growing scholarship, archeology, and critical reading of the early sources reveals quite a bit about the pre-Temujin Mongols. These dynamics (such as the Jin executing Ambaghai) also explain the early Mongol expansion. I thought this would give some necessary context to the rest of our Mongol videos, where it felt like we were watching the Mongol armies but didn't quite "know" the Mongols themselves.

    When Temüjin was a boy, the center of the steppe world was the Orkhon Valley, the old imperial site of the Türks. The valley was dominated by the Kereit. To the west, on the upper Irtysh River, lay Naiman territory. The Kereit and Naiman, not the Mongols, were masters of the steppe. The Kereit and Naiman elites spoke Turkic and had partially converted to Christianity under the influence of the Nestorian Church. In an effort to out do each other, To'oril of the Kereit and Tayang Qan of the Naiman accumulated men, weapons, alliances, and prestige. Yesügei Ba'atur sided with the Kereit. Later Chinggis Khan would subdue the Kereit and the Naiman in the course of a protracted effort to defeat all challengers among the steppe peoples.

      I wouldn't go as far as saying "master's of the steppe" bc they all operated separate from one another until they were unifiied. they at the time were larger & more powerful. but the tatar's themselves too were also a dominant tribes on the steppes & grasslands, hence why other sedentary civilizations categorized all nomads as "tatars", the tatars had wealth the mongols never seen.

      Let's not assume anything, brother. Beside Naimans, tribes like Keraites, and Merkits were pretty much thought as mongolic. You have no proof of their elite speaking turkic or whatever.
      However, Rashid Al-Din Hamadani recorded in his Jami Al Tawarikh that Keraite was similar in language with Mongols.

    • @klausrainherz4605
      @klausrainherz4605 4 місяці тому +11

      Kereit and the Naiman are all Mongolians in Mongolia. The Mongolian provinces of the steppe used to talk to each other and understand each other. The Turks were Kipchaks and Seljuk Turks. In 1206, all the tribes united to form the Great Mongolia were Mongols. They spoke and wrote Mongolian and followed Mongolian law. When the Mongol Empire was established, all Mongols became kings and baron. Maybe later some Mongols became Turks.

    • @bbdo1111
      @bbdo1111 4 місяці тому +6

      Everyone in here making assumptions.... the truth is, it's difficult to determine when turkic language ended & when mongolic began.
      Bc many turks under temujin eventually did become mongol.
      The uyghurs willingly went to temujin, & sought the Mongols protection, in turn, genghis khan knew the importance of the written language & required his sons, generals etc learn uyghur script, which was later called chagatai turk, which is essentially their old language, which is today's karluk turk. Even the capital name karakorum is essentially both turko-mongol, essentially black fort in turk

    Thank you for this, can't wait to start. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's radically obsessed with ultra-in-depth Mongol warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series: they make the best military historical introduction to the period. It's not just about the Mongols but everything around, there's vast reference to the peoples that influenced the same Chingizds and how Western and Eastern steppes warfare evolved during the centuries. Keep up with the amazing job
