There is a one signficant mistake in 6:48. Poland never had any king named Henry. During age of Mongol conquests Poland was split into a several smaller principalities, just like Kievian Rus. Mongols killed in 1241 the prince Henry II. He was the most powerfull polish prince at this time and would likely become a king later, but he was never crowned as king. Great movie btw
Well I'm off to conquer the world as the mongols in civ 5.

*@**9:59**: The Mongols also introduced Chinese art to the Middle East in the form of stamp or block writing that was adopted as a new kind of Arabic calligraphy.* One can find examples of this "stamp writing" as public art from buildings from Uzbekistan to Syria.
@Sher Khan Muslims were the main threat to Europe and reason for the dark ages, while the Mongol invasions caused a great loss for Caliphate, what allowed the Europeans to get back on their feet.
I mean when an ambassador came in to your palace bringing a letter containing vile messages, no wonder they would be killed. And those messangers aren't that innocent either since they were known to be spies in a targeted country before any diplomatic action were done.
@@zebimicio5204 Yeah, I somehow get the feeling those ambassadors were merely used as an excuse to make war, perhaps as a motivator for the soldiers and generals to get them all on board. The Mongols were clearly extremely aggressive and would probably have invaded anyway, which can be seen a few decades into their empire when they just started conquering nations left and right completely unprovoked.
@@zebimicio5204 Nope persians were arrogant. Actually most of mongol enemies were so arrogant that they would look down on nomadic tribunary from the first time they meet.
@@phantomtq who doesn't? When you have an established civilization and then a group of nomadic tribes that were known to invade and pillage everyone that disagreed the slightest with them come in your door step in the name of "diplomacy".

Why not enter Siberia in the Mongolian Empire? I'm surprised. The Mongolian army invaded Japan to use the Siberian timber. Siberia was entirely owned by the Mongol Empire.
They probably did It's just that we don't have enough evidence In northern Siberia, a Hungarian team discovered the Mongols ruled over more of Siberia, but this has yet to be published in Mass
A basic, half-hearted overview of the Mongol empire which also omits mention of perhaps the greatest General who has ever lived, Subedai Bahadur, the greatest Orlok of Genghis Khan and his chief military strategist. Subedai has been studied by modern Generals such as Erwin Rommel, Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, amongst others. His tactics are still studied in modern military schools; and for good reason.
Wish Ogedei didn't die too early. would be interesting to see them landslide their way to the atlantic, and how europe would've been shaped and changed by them.
It is A testament to their military genius that even today many nations cannot make the same complex manoeuvre warfare they perfected centuries ago. Also the meritocratic system still is enviable

Nah. Without the Mongols, gunpowder wouldn't have made it into europe for a couple more centuries. Cannons and gunpowder weapons are the reason why the european fuedel age ended. And also without the Mongols the black death wouldnt have made it into Europe. Without the black death europe wouldnt have started the renaissance period until much later. Plus Mongols expanded trade which allowed so much knowledge to pass through the old world. Mongols were the catalyst for European dominance in +1500s.
@Demy Troy You are delusional. Alexander used the army his father pioneered and beat an incompetent Persian Shah. Genghis Khan built an army from scratch and took on the Jurchens, Kwarizmians and other powerful Steppe Confederations. If Alexander the Great had to fight the type of enemies in such a short time and destroy them like The Genghis Khan did, then he would have been hard pressed. Alexander was a genius in his time but against someone like Subutai, Mukhalai or Jebe, he would be destroyed. The Genghisid Mongol Commanders are not some incompetent Persian Satraps who owe their position on their family bloodlines and aristocratic positions. What Alexander did was amazing but when you look at the foes he faced you begin to realise most of his enemies were fools who shouldn't have been given command of armies. You can't compare an iron/bronze age army against a iron/steel age army. The Heteroi would be the medieval equivalent of Medium Cavalry and they can't compare against the Royal Keshig who are better armoured, faced against so many different types of enemies and better armed. The technology level between the two Empires are very wide. Also you have to take account about the information on Alexander. Ancient Greeks are notorious for lying or exaggeration. Everything we know about Alexander comes from his personal historians. Do you really think his personal historians would dare to write the truth for fear of being executed or losing their salaries? Everything we know about the Mongols come from their enemies who hated them. And its the same story they tell; "they came, they beat us despite having less numbers, they killed our young men, raped our women and children and destroyed our homes".
Demy Troy the general rule in ancient Warfare is that the Calvary beats infantry, if you include horse archery , I doubt any infantry could win against Calvary. Even the Romans had trouble with Calvary. Horses mattered in war because the Mongols would be tired of carrying equipment or marching all day which equals to conservation of troops as well as mobility and mass times weight with velocity in a lance charge while being showered with armor piercing arrows. Because the Mongols were so mobile and self sufficient individuals and units they wouldn't be weight down by a baggage train.
People tend to forget the Mongols were almost virtually unstoppable most of the time and conquered their enemies despite being OUTNUMBERED. A great example of this is the infamous Mongol conquest in Europe.
It should be noted that while the Mongols conquered more territory in less time than Rome, that doesn’t mean Rome wasn’t capable of doing so. Rome in its territorial history, acquired land and slowly integrated the subjugated peoples into the Roman culture and religion (mainly by adding their gods to Rome’s). Rome made the decision to expand slowly and methodically, rather than overreaching and not consolidating your resources, learning their lesson from a certain Macedonian Conquer who’s empire practically croaked the moment he did. The Mongols were a victim to this as well

Roman Troop Leader:Attack!! Roman Trrops: *goes to the mongol empire wall and shoots* Mongol Troops: *shields* Mongol Troops: *shoots at the roman troops* Roman Troops: *dies*
Goryeo(korea) never surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty(Mongol Empire). It is unequal, but it has only signed a treaty of mutual friendship. The Goryeo and Yan Dynasty were influenced by each other, not unilaterally controlled. King Goryeo had the right to elect the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. War between Goryeo (Korea) and Mongolia 1st invasion: Date: August 1231-March 1232 30,000 Mongolian troops invaded. Goryeo succeeded in defending an important castle and bound half of the soldiers, but the capital was besieged, sending the royal family hostages and signing a peace treaty. 2nd invasion Date: August 1232-December 1232 Goryeo moved the palace to the island for war against Mongolia, and Mongolia invaded again. Mongolia could not properly occupy a single castle, and the commander-in-chief was killed in battle and retreated. 3rd invasion Date: July 1235-April 1239 When the Geum Dynasty fell in 1234, it attacked Goryeo. Mongolia lost several defeats, devastating Goryeo territory over four years and inflicting enormous damage. Eventually, in the winter of 1238, the Goryeo court proposed Ganghwa to Mongolia, and Mongolia also withdrew in the spring of 1239 on condition of Goryeo Gojong's entrance. But didn't fulfill the promise 4th invasion Date: July 1247-March 1248 Due to the short period, there was no significant damage, and the Mongolian emperor died and withdrew. 5th invasion Date: July 1253-January 1254 It came down to the central part of the Korean peninsula, but was withdrawn without capturing Chungju, an important adult. 6th invasion Date: July 1254-December 1254 The Mongolian army lost all three major siege battles and withdrew. However, the Mongol army plundered severely and captured 200,000 people, causing great damage. 7th Invasion-Mongolia's Amphibious Operation Date: September 1255-June 1256 The Mongolian army won one battle, but lost six battles and withdrew. 8th invasion Date: May 1257-October 1257 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 9th invasion Date: April 1258-March 1259 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 1259 Goryeo Prince meets and discusses with Kublai, and Goryeo and Mongolia conclude a peace agreement, although they are unequal. Mongolia invaded 9 times, but each time they were defeated, they knew it was impossible to conquer Goryeo. Mongolian emperor Kublai made six promises and said he would not interfere with Goryeo. The clothes and hats worn on the head do not need to be changed according to the customs of Goryeo Envoys are banned from anything other than those sent by the Yuan court. Return to the capital can be adjusted in time at Goryeojeong. The troops withdrew in the fall. All of the Official from Mongolia are withdrawn. Those who volunteered to stay in Mongolia are investigated and returned. After the discussion, Prince Goryeo asked Kublai to become son-in-law. Afterwards, the kings of Goryeo became son-in-law of Kublai and his descendants and had the right to elect the emperor. The Mongolian emperor was able to replace the son-in-law, King Goryeo, but due to Kublai's promise, he could not interfere with anything in Goryeo. Mongolia could not occupy Goryeo and only signed a peace treaty. The Mongol emperor was able to replace the king of Goryeo, but he could not easily replace the king of Goryeo, an important member of the imperial family.
Damnit Khwarezmi's Emperor, should've accepted those merchants and ambassadors and save thousands of priceless knowledge, artifact, cities, or even an everlasting pax
Im not sure we can say that Mongols established a State in its conventional form. They ruled by the fear and terror and the power of military, or, adopted the administration of the people who they conquered. You cant compare Mongols with Roman Empire, in any sense.
Actually you can do that. To discount or disregard an Empire because of cultural difference of administration, cultural values, cultural objectives and method/s used to achieve the like is absurd and lacks leadership wisdom.
Dude 4:35 u use picture of chattarpati shivaji (shiva ji maharaja) from maratha empire. Please correct it... Shivaji maharaja worship as god in Maharashtra region.
They did not burn books,library or burn city they even try to preserve it like the teacher in Korea and the teacher in Saudi will give knowledge each other like trading they will burn or kill if they didn't surrender
Yes, seems the maker of this video is just read one novel about Mongol Empire and decided to earn on UA-cam. Like for example if wasn't the Jin dynasty the Mongols defeated first, it was Xi Xia.

Borgil Batbaatar they didn't reached Germany lol..they got Poland and hungary..i wondered how they would do in forests..against heavy armoured German knigths
Amazing what a bunch of goat herders with double-curved bows could do in a span of 200 years. Killed 40 million people, about 10% of the world population. (Nazi's only killed 20 million with much better weapons and kilns.) Ghenghis raped so many women, about 1 of every 200 people of the former empire are his decedents. Only country to conquer China and Russia at the same time. Japan lucky twice a typhoon came, Vietnam lucky they had jungle-rot, Europe lucky Oghedi died. Watch the Turkish show Ertugrul, season 2, to see what Mongols were like.
Many argue the bristish were more powerful but don’t forget they claimed terroritory that didn’t have any population so the mongols fought for their land like crazy
Indeed. If you conquer land from mainly from primitive peoples it's much easier. Try conquering full-fledged empires and powerful nations. Had the Mongols mastered navigation they would have conquered the world. Militarily speaking nobody accomplished what they did, in my opinion.
@@alexoller22 They didnt conquer india even though they tried for 100s of years, didnt conquer middle east, and didnt conquer europe. Most of the land they had was just from other steppe tribes, only exception being china

The Mongols are the best in history period. No one in history Concord two empires at the speed they did, and with kills 10 to 1 basically do not know the exact number.
Very powerful on paper and had a wide variety of troops. Their problem was bad organisation and outdated military tactics and equipment. For example using lightly armed Persian infantry against Sarrisa Pikemen. They did however hire Greek mercenary Hoplites but never adopted their heavy armour or fighting style to their native troops. Too much focus on archery and static low quality spearmen. Cavalry was good quality but poorly led. The Persians greatest weapon was not their armies but their Diplomacy, Administration and economy. They basically just kept the Assyrian and Babylonian tactics.
@Moni lit I hope you know destruction of Baghdad and their campaign till Egypt. They surely felt more heat in those battlegrounds compared to north Indian battlegrounds of Punjab, Kashmir and even Afghanistan.
later on the descendant of Genghis khan came and conquered India, india was one of the mongol blood dominated countries, till the British come, even today in the cast mongol blood borns are top of society, kept safe they say what a laugh
The image of the Khwarezmian king is actually an image of Chatrapati Shivani Maharaj of the Maratha empire. You are going to trigger a lot of Indians. Good luck.
It’s not Shivani it’s Shivaji and that was a slap in the face because Shivaji Maharaj was respectful to messengers and existed hundreds of years after the Mongols he also wasn’t a brutal murderer like many other kings.
I'm still confused where these people are getting the "Jagun" from. The Arban (Arvan), the Mingghan (Myangan) are Mongolian words but the Jagun? Nah, unless this is a mistranslation in English, I've never heard of this word befoe.
When I was a child and learned that Genghis Khan told his closest minions to bury him where no one would ever find his body, and then kill themselves immediately after burying him, it 🤯 my mind away. I love the history of the Mongol Empire ☺️

The Mongolian army won one battle, but lost six battles and withdrew.
8th invasion
Date: May 1257-October 1257
Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship.
9th invasion
Date: April 1258-March 1259
Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship.
1259 Goryeo Prince meets and discusses with Kublai, and Goryeo and Mongolia conclude a peace agreement, although they are unequal.
Mongolia invaded 9 times, but each time they were defeated, they knew it was impossible to conquer Goryeo.
Mongolian emperor Kublai made six promises and said he would not interfere with Goryeo.
The clothes and hats worn on the head do not need to be changed according to the customs of Goryeo
Envoys are banned from anything other than those sent by the Yuan court.
Return to the capital can be adjusted in time at Goryeojeong.
The troops withdrew in the fall.
All of the Official from Mongolia are withdrawn.
Those who volunteered to stay in Mongolia are investigated and returned.
After the discussion, Prince Goryeo asked Kublai to become son-in-law.
Afterwards, the kings of Goryeo became son-in-law of Kublai and his descendants and had the right to elect the emperor.
The Mongolian emperor was able to replace the son-in-law, King Goryeo, but due to Kublai's promise, he could not interfere with anything in Goryeo.
Mongolia could not occupy Goryeo and only signed a peace treaty.
The Mongol emperor was able to replace the king of Goryeo, but he could not easily replace the king of Goryeo, an important member of the imperial family.
I love the donkey Kong country music in the background. Props dude
Damnit Khwarezmi's Emperor, should've accepted those merchants and ambassadors and save thousands of priceless knowledge, artifact, cities, or even an everlasting pax
I'm early, let's think of a original joke.
Nevermind
the addition of the total war: attila music is perfect
This guy deserves more subs and views ive learned alot
Henrick II was only Polish prince, not king. It does not change the fact that this document is very good.
Im not sure we can say that Mongols established a State in its conventional form. They ruled by the fear and terror and the power of military, or, adopted the administration of the people who they conquered. You cant compare Mongols with Roman Empire, in any sense.
Actually you can do that. To discount or disregard an Empire because of cultural difference of administration, cultural values, cultural objectives and method/s used to achieve the like is absurd and lacks leadership wisdom.
…. So with your logic india was never any part of the british. Indonesian archipelago was also never a part of the dutch empire.
*But they died in a tornado*
Sam L. a tornado? ok.
THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER
So they tried again but then *died in a tornado*
Flischer no whats the name?
XDD you watched that Japan history video
@4:20 Wrong pic. The pic is that of Shivaji Maharaj of Maratha Empire, India.
Loving the Donkey Kong and the AOM music. Good vid too
Dude 4:35 u use picture of chattarpati shivaji (shiva ji maharaja) from maratha empire.
Please correct it...
Shivaji maharaja worship as god in Maharashtra region.
They did not burn books,library or burn city they even try to preserve it like the teacher in Korea and the teacher in Saudi will give knowledge each other like trading they will burn or kill if they didn't surrender
4:35 why portray that shah with the pic of the founder of maratha hindu empire Shivaji who came centuries later to power?
Yes, seems the maker of this video is just read one novel about Mongol Empire and decided to earn on UA-cam. Like for example if wasn't the Jin dynasty the Mongols defeated first, it was Xi Xia.
There's a mistake at 4:29 the man u showed in that part was great hindu king Chatrapathi Shivaji great ruler of Maratha Empire in india not a Muslim king in central asia
Use the Calvery unit marker not the infantry one
Excellent video, i have many books on the Mongols and I like your version of their history.
7:50 using that Donkey Kong music again 😉
Are you allowed to do that ?
I recognized it too
Whats the song called
I think after so many comments you should edit this video to correct image of shah mohd II. Image at 4.22 is king shivaji from India, who established his maratha kingdom almost 400 years later.. misinforming people should not b aim of any channel
Great stuff!
Also, love the donkey kong music.
Enough powerful to battle Pacific rim to Mediterran, Germany to Japan
Borgil Batbaatar they didn't reached Germany lol..they got Poland and hungary..i wondered how they would do in forests..against heavy armoured German knigths
@@noman2330 is leigniz German Region?
They almost reached Vienna.
@@noman2330 brother.. they reached leigniz
@@JasonDoe1000 Great Khan died
Amazing what a bunch of goat herders with double-curved bows could do in a span of 200 years.
Killed 40 million people, about 10% of the world population. (Nazi's only killed 20 million with much better weapons and kilns.)
Ghenghis raped so many women, about 1 of every 200 people of the former empire are his decedents.
Only country to conquer China and Russia at the same time.
Japan lucky twice a typhoon came, Vietnam lucky they had jungle-rot, Europe lucky Oghedi died.
Watch the Turkish show Ertugrul, season 2, to see what Mongols were like.
The AoM music got me, the nostalgia
Earth First and one of the best games I ever played 👌
the donkey kong country music here caught me off guard a bit
Many argue the bristish were more powerful but don’t forget they claimed terroritory that didn’t have any population so the mongols fought for their land like crazy
Indeed. If you conquer land from mainly from primitive peoples it's much easier. Try conquering full-fledged empires and powerful nations. Had the Mongols mastered navigation they would have conquered the world. Militarily speaking nobody accomplished what they did, in my opinion.
@@alexoller22 They didnt conquer india even though they tried for 100s of years, didnt conquer middle east, and didnt conquer europe.
Most of the land they had was just from other steppe tribes, only exception being china
@@tomchch they conquered most of Europe wtf they conquered till German Lignice
4:17 you put wrong picture, in the picture he is an indian king shivaji, I think It's a mistake from you.
You use a hindu emperor picture named Shivaji Maharaj in 4:25 min. Plz correct because he is not Muslim king of Persian Empire but fight against Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 17th century AD
Who the fuck is this nonexistent indian empire 😂
3:07 this music is from the pc game age of mythology!
It is true that hospitality is sacred.
6:13 small error here, Ogedei didn't found karakorum, genghis khan did, but it was Ogedei who developed it.
Medival civilizations at this time: oh no how do we survive against hordes of cavalry Also them:ever heard of pikemen
I'm so happy you used civ V in this. I was playing VI while watching. xD
donkey kong 1 or 2 soundtrack (SNES from early 90's) used around 7:40 - underwater track if I'm not mistaken. Golden - well done, childhood restored + mongol history.
The Mongols are the best in history period. No one in history Concord two empires at the speed they did, and with kills 10 to 1 basically do not know the exact number.
DO A HOW POWERFUL WAS THE PERSIAN EMPIRE
(ACHAEMENID DYNASTY)
Very powerful on paper and had a wide variety of troops. Their problem was bad organisation and outdated military tactics and equipment. For example using lightly armed Persian infantry against Sarrisa Pikemen. They did however hire Greek mercenary Hoplites but never adopted their heavy armour or fighting style to their native troops. Too much focus on archery and static low quality spearmen. Cavalry was good quality but poorly led. The Persians greatest weapon was not their armies but their Diplomacy, Administration and economy. They basically just kept the Assyrian and Babylonian tactics.
They awesome.
Such a well-made video. It helped a lot!
Indian king Alauddin Khilji defeated the Mongols 5 times in head to head battles. (Some were inconclusive but Mongols didn't win any of 5)
@Moni lit I hope you know destruction of Baghdad and their campaign till Egypt. They surely felt more heat in those battlegrounds compared to north Indian battlegrounds of Punjab, Kashmir and even Afghanistan.
later on the descendant of Genghis khan came and conquered India, india was one of the mongol blood dominated countries, till the British come, even today in the cast mongol blood borns are top of society, kept safe they say what a laugh
But your tribe didn't able to win northeast part of india let me make you clear we are not Chinese we are Mongolian
Loving the art illustrations,
Very good and honest video.
I think they easely would qonqour hole europe with a general like subutai leading the army
Chengez khan was the man of principles ,he retaliates only when enemy provoked him !!
Anybody else notice Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong Country soundtrack?
The image of the Khwarezmian king is actually an image of Chatrapati Shivani Maharaj of the Maratha empire. You are going to trigger a lot of Indians. Good luck.
*shivaji
Shivaji is much greater
It’s not Shivani it’s Shivaji and that was a slap in the face because Shivaji Maharaj was respectful to messengers and existed hundreds of years after the Mongols he also wasn’t a brutal murderer like many other kings.
Nobody care ..not important 😁😂
It's no coincidence that when the Mongols attacked the Islamic empire and caliphates that Europe started to develop again.
1:25 universal rulers, we all have that accept the United States, Liberia and Myanmar
I'm still confused where these people are getting the "Jagun" from. The Arban (Arvan), the Mingghan (Myangan) are Mongolian words but the Jagun? Nah, unless this is a mistranslation in English, I've never heard of this word befoe.
Zuun gedgiig chin mongol bichgeer jagun gej bichiishde
PrinceofMongolia one of the stupid men in Mongolia ☝️ this man who named himself as PrinceofMongolia.
When I was a child and learned that Genghis Khan told his closest minions to bury him where no one would ever find his body, and then kill themselves immediately after burying him, it 🤯 my mind away. I love the history of the Mongol Empire ☺️
4:23 wrong image of shah
great video
hang on... have we got donkey kong country on super nes underwater music from 7.38? love it!
VC3 productions you must make an episode about the age of mythology as you often use its soundtracks lol
yes its so nostalgic, in the future maybe
Showing Civ 5 in the background while playing AoM theme, a unsuspected mix
Using infantry X squares for cavalry? Doesn't seem right.
One thing made the Mongol Army one of the best Armies of all time. Meritocracy. The most intelligent driven bad ass soldiers were in charge.
true
Exactly
I always wondered how figures like Saladin would fare against the Mongols...
Dying would be the status quo.
@@hashiramasenju3246 yeah but did you see how Ayn Jalut went for the Mongols...
Mongolia 1259: 🦁

Mongols were murderes
@@Unknown_Gaming_024 get over it
@@Unknown_Gaming_024 every empires were murderers
04:33 is Shivaji mahataj of Maratha empire in india, he is not shaha, correct your information.
Powerful enough to conquer much of Asia, Middle East, And Europe
