Cyrus the Great is one the best at war and as ruler in history if not the best everybody know this but Shapur I the Great king of kings of Iranian and non Iranian is also one of the best he killed almost 200,000 Roman warriors in only 3 battles won more than 15 battles most than any rulers or military commanders in history he destroyed some biggest and most powerful empires of is time like Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and is military commander like Subutai and others like Parthian Empire, Kushan Empire, Kingdom Armenia , Kingdom of Georgia , Kingdom of Hatra , Elymais etc he also beat the Roman Empire more than any ruler or military commander in history because in the time of Hannibal Rome was not a Empire most historians say Roman Empire was also destroyed by Shapur I the Great after Battle of Edessa the battle is generally viewed as one of the worst disasters in military history because most battles are only one of many that help to decide the fate of kingdoms and empires. On occasion, however, there is a battle so epic that its outcome can lead to the complete destruction of civilizations, a decline from which they never recover, or their handing over to a greater force. Here are ten ancient battles that ended empires, destroyed armies, and changed history Roman and Persian forces clashed in a devastating defeat for the Romans at the Battle of Edessa in AD 260. Under the command of Emperor Valerian, the Roman Army of 70,000 men attacked the Sassanid forces under the command of Shapur I, king of the kings. The entirety of the Roman army was defeated and captured, including Emperor Valerian-the first time such an event had occurred in Roman history.Rome never fully recovered from their defeat at Edessa, which had long-lasting impacts on the political climate of the empire. The defeat was one in a long series of crises that afflicted Rome during the third century, which ultimately led to the creation of the Western Roman Empire in 285. Eventually, the Western Roman Empire fell, and Rome continued weakly into the fifth century after the Eastern Roman Empire (aka theByzantine Empire) rose to power in 330
Where is the (The Sword Of God) khalid bin walid. The great general who never lost a battle in his whole life, one of his most famous quotes "And here I am, dying in my bed, like cattle die. May the eyes of cowards never sleep."
He is famous enough anyone who is really interested in history knows about him and what he did he was a great man, and this is another quote from his message to the satraps of Persia after entering Mesopotamia “if you do not want to embrace Islam, then as soon as you receive this message, send over the jizya and I give you my word that I will respect and honor this covenant. But if you do not agree to either choice, then, by God, I will send to you people who crave death as much as you crave life.” Khalid did not receive any responses and continued with his tactical plans. Khalid won decisive victories in four consecutive battles: the Battle of Chains, fought in April; the Battle of River, fought in the third week of April; the Battle of Walaja the following month (where he successfully used a double envelopment manoeuvre), and the Battle of Ullais
Khalid was also one of the first generals in history to use psychological warfare. He had formed a band of elite warriors, the mubarizun (champions), tasked with seeking out and killing officers of the enemy army to render it leaderless.

I would like to recommend you research the following military commander named (Khalid ibn al-Walid) if you're intrested. Believe it or not, Khalid is one of the few generals in human history to have never lost a pitched battle. Indeed, he emerged the victor in every single one of the 50 or so large scale battles he fought against the Apostate tribes, Christian Arabs, Sasanian Empire and Byzantine Empire. One of the many quotes from this one man army include: "May the eyes of cowards never sleep"
The one that was dismissed by the second Khalifa after the battle of Yarmouk? Yeah, he was a great general, but that decision right there wasnt very bright by the second Khalifa probably.
@Callum620 In the year 638, the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab removed him from commanding the armies because he feared that people might be tempted by him (Temtpted as in a Trial for the people or "Fittnah" in Arabic). So Khalid ibn al-Walid became part of the army of the companion Abu Ubaidah Amer ibn al-Jarrah Although to be honest, both Umar ibn al-khattab & Khalid ibn al-Walid were one of the most respected great men to be mentioned in Islam & history!
So many names yet Khalid Bin Al Waleed is no where to be found; the man to bring great Sassanid (Persian) and Byzantine (Roman) empire to both its end. How about Subutai; the mega mind behind Mongol expansion under both Genghis and Ogedei Khan. Last but not the least is Napoleon Bonaparte; the man who nearly conquered all of Europe.
I think because he has no real impact because although he won in Cannae, that victory brought him nothing because he couldn't invade rome because he has no supply. after the battle of Cannae, Hannibal started getting worse and worse and was eventually defeated in the battle of Zama.

The commander and warrior Khalid ibn Walid should’ve been on the list, he never lost a single battle, and has quotes like : “When I’m in the battlefield, I love it more then my wedding night with the most beautiful of women”. “May the eyes of cowards never sleep” and “I bring men who love death more then you love life”.
@@hansolo660 but he is a way better than these all especially the busted like Genghis Khan. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed is the sword of Allah and which can never be broken.
Great video...awesome initiative but many greats are not mentioned. And what about the oldest empire that still exists today no warlords from india? Or from the Americas.
The definiton of warlord is as follows: "A warlord is a strong leader able to exercise military, economic, and political control over a subnational territory within a sovereign state because of their ability to mobilize loyal armed forces. These armed forces are loyal to the warlord rather than to the general government. Warlords have existed throughout much of history, albeit in a variety of different capacities within the political, economic, and social structure of states or ungoverned territories." So excluding Sun Tzu no other person in this list is a warlord. For example using your definition EVERY Spartan or Macedonian king was a warlord and so was nearly every Roman consul. You could have named the list: the most famous military leaders in history. There is some debate though about Attila being a warlord, because the Huns were descendats of the ancient kingdom of the Xiongnu whose leaders used the title Chanyu, which means chosen of she sky-god(Tengri) and this might make him the god appointed millitary leader of the Huns and not a king thus making him eligibible for the warlord title. What needs to be said though is that the information given for each of the people you have choses to portray is very very good.
Great video! I by no means mean to criticize you, and recognize this video is purely opinion, but I’m a little surprised at part of it. Sun Tzu was an advisor, not a warlord, he never led men into battle, and he may not have even been truly historical, potentially mythological. Two, you mentioned Spartacus’ upbringings, but his life before capture and how he got captured and if he was even Thracian is only speculated. We don’t actually know anything concretely about his life before he became a gladiator. Three, I respect the choices, but I just wanna give a shout out to Belisarius, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, and Aetius, Hannibal, Gustav Adolphson, and Napoleon. They are some of the greatest generals ever as well, in my humble opinion. And yes, I know many more could be added in that list, but I just wanted to include them. Also, Attila was beaten back by a coalition from Rome and barbarian allies, and couldn’t attack Rome if he wanted to. It was Christian propaganda that the pope stopped Atilla, but he had lost too many men and didn’t have the supplies to fight anymore in the west. He was basically forced to retreat. As for Constantinople...I would hardly call it “nearly took down Constantinople twice”. The Huns were great at siegecraft, sieging much of the Balkan region, but Constantinople was far too formidable to siege, and Atilla was firmly repelled twice. Wouldn’t really call it close.
whether he was not historical or not doesnt matter. its possible he could be a made up character but he did lead battles & he wom. using occams razor its more parsimonous

King Raja Raja Chola of Chola Kingdom, King Rajendra Chola I owned 60000 war elephants, Narasimhavarma Pallava I of Pallava Dynasty, Ashoka the Great of Mauryan Empire were never lost a battle in their entire life.

They make history 🌟🙏🏻
Not like tik tok men today.
All them should be shot in the groin
And Sauron gave to them the great rings......
Can you do all legendary weapons in history from all cultures
Spear
Great job,man !
War is das ultimate
Form of competition.
A strong man is noble.
He must require strength because otherwise he will never attain power.
The commander and warrior Khalid ibn Walid should’ve been on the list, he never lost a single battle, and has quotes like : “When I’m in the battlefield, I love it more then my wedding night with the most beautiful of women”. “May the eyes of cowards never sleep” and “I bring men who love death more then you love life”.
Fantastic's vidéo of humanity history, great presentation and wonderful pictures all of this complete work. Good work and luck. Thanks.
Great job on the video
I’m surprised you didn’t add Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, or one of the great crusader kings like Baldwin , Tancred or Richard the first
Robert Guiscard !
Crusaders what a losers .... You lost all of the wars
@@jahanzebnawaz261 is Spain Catholic or Muslim now? That should give you an answer on how the Reconquista went
the art in these videos is great
very good info for us
Make a Warlords tier list.Would be very epic
Love this channel we need it to go one million subscriber
Top class video.... well done
Love it
Thank you for a normal `one of the first' comment.
@@Kavan19 ooh thanks
Where is Chandragupta Maurya and Cyrus II (Cyrus The Great)???
Love the concept art 👌
This channel is very educative and useful. We love yuh from rwanda
Where is Khalid ibn walid , the sword of god , the conquerer of Persian and Roman empiers
He's not a king , he's a general
@@hansolo660 but he is a way better than these all especially the busted like Genghis Khan. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed is the sword of Allah and which can never be broken.
@@muhammadharis5025 Better than Caesar. I think not. He was good and fearless but comon man
@@danieleriksson5587 who are you saying that Khalid bin Waleed is a common man, he is a sword of Allah which can never be common.
@@muhammadharis5025 Saying that there have been commanders with more fights and wins
Great video...awesome initiative but many greats are not mentioned. And what about the oldest empire that still exists today no warlords from india? Or from the Americas.
Very educational I like this
The definiton of warlord is as follows: "A warlord is a strong leader able to exercise military, economic, and political control over a subnational territory within a sovereign state because of their ability to mobilize loyal armed forces. These armed forces are loyal to the warlord rather than to the general government. Warlords have existed throughout much of history, albeit in a variety of different capacities within the political, economic, and social structure of states or ungoverned territories." So excluding Sun Tzu no other person in this list is a warlord. For example using your definition EVERY Spartan or Macedonian king was a warlord and so was nearly every Roman consul. You could have named the list: the most famous military leaders in history. There is some debate though about Attila being a warlord, because the Huns were descendats of the ancient kingdom of the Xiongnu whose leaders used the title Chanyu, which means chosen of she sky-god(Tengri) and this might make him the god appointed millitary leader of the Huns and not a king thus making him eligibible for the warlord title. What needs to be said though is that the information given for each of the people you have choses to portray is very very good.
fantastic Art, who is the artist?
2nd comment and big like for you, Always support you and really enjoy watching!
You’re the greatest historian in world history fam!!!!
Excellent work Gentlemen.
0:41 Well, diarch, because there were two Kings of Sparta from two dynasties at the time, or more appropriate: hereditary co-general.
Great video! I by no means mean to criticize you, and recognize this video is purely opinion, but I’m a little surprised at part of it.
Sun Tzu was an advisor, not a warlord, he never led men into battle, and he may not have even been truly historical, potentially mythological.
Two, you mentioned Spartacus’ upbringings, but his life before capture and how he got captured and if he was even Thracian is only speculated. We don’t actually know anything concretely about his life before he became a gladiator.
Three, I respect the choices, but I just wanna give a shout out to Belisarius, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, and Aetius, Hannibal, Gustav Adolphson, and Napoleon. They are some of the greatest generals ever as well, in my humble opinion. And yes, I know many more could be added in that list, but I just wanted to include them.
Also, Attila was beaten back by a coalition from Rome and barbarian allies, and couldn’t attack Rome if he wanted to. It was Christian propaganda that the pope stopped Atilla, but he had lost too many men and didn’t have the supplies to fight anymore in the west. He was basically forced to retreat.
As for Constantinople...I would hardly call it “nearly took down Constantinople twice”. The Huns were great at siegecraft, sieging much of the Balkan region, but Constantinople was far too formidable to siege, and Atilla was firmly repelled twice. Wouldn’t really call it close.
Atilla hun and alpaslan v çengizhan
I Agree with you! just have to do a little correction. I assume you meant Gustav II Adolph, there is no Gustav Adolphson☺️
I admire your knowledge in history
whether he was not historical or not doesnt matter. its possible he could be a made up character but he did lead battles & he wom. using occams razor its more parsimonous
Where is khalid bin walid(Sword of god) after nobunaga,khalid won the most battles in history........He never lost even once.
Maratha Prime Minister Peshwa Baji Rao won all wars he personally lead with Mongols.. But apparently he is not great in the eyes of chest thumping europeans and turks or Mongols
@@indicphilosopher8772 they were Mughals not Mongols and Bajirao had armies way bigger than Khalid . Khalid fought a battle against Romans where Romans were 100000 and Khalid had army of 3000
RESPECT FOR BAJI👑
@@amanpathan2487
Bro, mughal is a persian word for mongols..
@@indicphilosopher8772 Mughals have Turkish root not mongol root
@@amanpathan2487
Okay, moghuls may be of turko mongolic descent not purely mongols aka tatars.. Am i right??
Nice bro you explained it better than school mr.history
Amir Timur is forgotten. You will be suprised when you recognize how great he was.
He killed muslims
@@indicphilosopher8772 He killed his enemies Muslims are just human not better than others.
@@temor8829
Then how can you say he is great
@@indicphilosopher8772Becasue he was great and the losers are jealos of him
@@temor8829
Just coz you say he was great doesnot make him great and its actually losers who call him great..
sorry for the criticization , even though your content is incredible ,your voice and narrating style is par below
you should please try to change that , and try to bring narration style and voice modulation which engage content seekers to the peak
Good job. Talk about Hannibal Barca and Khalid Ibn Walid next time !
ASHOKA the great should be here the greatest emperor in all of India who unified the Indian subcontinent
There are better generals than him, like Samudragupta, Peshwa bajirao etc.
Mehmed the conqueror? Who ends the roman empire.
He beat the Byzantium Empire when Byzantium was like vassal state
Constantinople was the only thing which remained that time .. so basically Was a very easy task for him ..
it was khalid bin walid who destroyed the roman and Sasanid in middle east
@@tanvir32 nope you are wrong. The last standing roman city was constantinople that no one can conquer because of its massive walls. But Mehmed destroy it using the first Canon Ball, and make it the capital of the Ottoman Empire and now Istanbul
@@trixtrix2572 when mohammad fatehi conquered constantiniple only it remained a city not any empire ....read what khalid bin walid did
Why didn’t you include Khalid bin alwalid or Hannibal Barca or Cyrus the great
Hey dude fr, can you tell me what the song you used for the Pyramus and Thisbe video?
Where is skanderbeg
Where can we see this art online? Thanks!
Scipio and Hannibal would have made great additions to the list
Meanwhile is southeast Asia: minding their own business at rice paddies
Where are u from? No matter where south east asia u from don't forget history..our ancestors fight to death to give what we have today.. blood/sweat of fallen king and warrior don't u mocked them..
What about Shaka Zulu?
Wasn't middle ages but they could have atleast put Askia The Great on here
You should do a list about great warlords in modernity ! like sir Rupper of the rhine , for example
sun tzu gives chanakya vibes for some reason , every time i hear about sun tzu my mind just thinks of chanakya
Alexander the great fought tailors and shoe makers.
great warriors
all are my favarits
Cyrus the Great definitely should have been on this list.
Is there Any reason why Curios the great Persian king was not mentioned in this movie?
I admire Genghis Khan...
This was so informative ✨✨ but for some reason I was waiting for Joan of Arc to be mentioned ☹️☹️
Khalid bin Waleed and Hannibal Barca are the top 2 Generals of all time, how are they not mentioned in your list?
But according to me saladin is greater than khalid
@@bhabanishankarbehera6908 Not really Khalid was named the sword of God by the prophet as himself. And he never lost a single battle nor a duel and he participated in a lot of battles. So Saladin is great but Khalid is a better military commander and a better fighter. Till this day they say that only the prophet as could've defeated him.
@@zkatom3773 Maybe. But looking at it from an objective point Khalid bin Walid is much more accomplished and is a better military commander than Saladin (who is a great one nonetheless). Maybe I'm wrong but this is what I deduced from the little knowledge I have.
Have a good day.
@@MohamedVallHamed23 I am pretty sure Saladin's Influence was just more immediate and wide spread.
@@zkatom3773 thats influence not military commanding skills. The video is about geniuses on the battlefield and tactics. I think.
What of Cyrus the Great, Ardashir the Unifier, Shapur I, Ismail I and Nader Shah Afshar?
King Raja Raja Chola of Chola Kingdom, King Rajendra Chola I owned 60000 war elephants, Narasimhavarma Pallava I of Pallava Dynasty, Ashoka the Great of Mauryan Empire were never lost a battle in their entire life.
Why did they not mention them 🤬
I wonder where is Edward the Blackprince and Henry V
the greatest of all??
he's Khalid ibn Walid r.a, the man who commanded and defeated the mighty Persian, Roman, egyptian empires etc and remained undefeated. A man very just in his decisions and judgements, who brought worldly order and equality, impacted the lives across the globe to a peaceful living. He's the greatest among the ones mentioned in this video.
Perhaps he is, but the list includes Alexander. Two people that never lost a battle, but Alexander had much larger battles, so who knows.
Expected hannibal and khalid ben walid here
Both fight against extremely hard odds and win
Genghis Khan slaps everybody in this video
I am surprised you don't have Chu overlord Xiang Yu now he was badass and valiant beyond measure shame he destroyed himself though his seen as a God Of War in China arguably the strongest one in their history.
Charles Martel - Richard 1 - Guan Yu - Takeda - YSG - Ragnar
Cyrus the great. shapur l. nader shah.
KING KAMEHAMEHA OF THE KINGDOM OF HAWAII IS THE GREATEST WARLORD OF ALL TIME! #1
Sadly Salahadin And King Richard both died in a stretch not too long if I remember Salahadin last Away first and a few years later Richard died in battle with a stray arrow killing him
Can u make a video about Robin hood?
Idk how you skipped but khalid ibn al walid or hannibal barca or osman | or mehmed || or……
I can continue but don’t let me do that 😕
Scipio Africanus, Aurelian, Hannibal, Richard the Lionheart, Edward the Black Prince and Henry V are all worthy mentions.
Amor de Los GUERREROS . WARLORDS .
why is salahaddin here but not khalid ibn al walid? you shouldnt include him witout including khalid
Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, Hannibal Barca, Harald Hardrada should have made this list.
I really like military skills of Julius Caesar.
Where are Hannibal Barca, Khalid ibn al-Walid, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (El Cid) and Tamerlane (Timur)?
FEARLESS military leaders. You put Saladin but not Richard The Lionheart? Did we forget about the battle of Jaffa!
Got a problem? Because you want more westerners rather than other people in the world.
UA-cam gettin way too comfortable with these triple ads..
I would rate 3 best Generals and Tacticians ... Hannibal Barca, Khalid Ibn Alwaleed and Subutai They were the real military Genius and defeated large forces deep into enemy territories.
You didn't discuss legends of Achaemenid empires
scipio and hannibal are missing! :)
Never forget about Uncle Kony.
Actually Hun’s full name is Hunnu [Хүннү].Also We called Hun empire meaning is Human empire.Hun=Хүн.extra info Attilla comes from West Hun empire.When Hun empire separated two parts.
