@goldenfiberwheat238 No, this is the guy who's going to Kickstart the fall of the Crusader states, his Son Nuradin is going to expand more on his work, and then Nuradin's underling is the man we know today as Saladin and who's going to finish it. But it all starts with this man, Zengi
Saladin is considered a military genius by some even though he lost more battles than he won even though he always outnumbered his enemies. I'd say the bar for being a military genius is pretty low.
@@zjeee Saladin was a master of the "Fabian Strategy" which involves not directly engaging the enemy until you have worn down their supply and their morale, such as at the Battle of Hattin, or the subsequent 3rd Crusade against Richard the Lionheart, though Richard kept winning battles, he couldn't change the strategic situation enough to counteract the effects of Saladin's Fabian Strategy.
@@zjeee---I read the Encyclopedia of Military History once and it said that Belisarius was the last military genius to come along in many centuries. It said that Saladin and Richard the Lionhearted were both competent military leaders. Not genius's.
From childhood my second favorite Islamic Leader was Imadul-din-Zangi (First obviously Khalid-ibn-Walid). And no am not Arab not turk nor even African. Tales of Imadul-din-Zangi and norudin zangi are fascinating.😮
@@MhmdBDRDBcoz he was given the title Sword of Allah by Prophet himself , as a prophecy before his famous victories under Rashidun Caliphate. And his deeds and achievements make him the greatest commander ever
Finally a video on the second crusade and zengids the zengids and second crusade is sooo slept on unfortunately can't wait for the other episodes to come out and I wish you to include the zengid campaign of crusades in Egypt as well 😁 and zengids taking control of Egypt
You should've Mentioned in a small notice that banyas mentioned in this video is a small town in southern Syria/ northern palestine, to avoid the confusion with the city of banias on the northern Syrian coast.
Damn, no joke I started Thomas Asbridge's book "The Crusades" just last week. What timing lol. Cool to see those events brought to life so soon after the more scholastic interpretation.
Great video as usual, but I suggest you guys to complete the Assyrian Empire series because it looks interesting! No military history channel has created a video about the campaigns of the Assyrian Empire, so I think that kings and generals should be the first to create a video about this topic....
Every young leaders in their prime should look for his replacements based on extreme tests of quality. Its best to raise a leader from birth under scholars of philosophers and men of science. The end of times is near. World tension is at all time high. We need a global leader.
Pls make one video on incredible Rasheed al din Sinan,leader of the assasins, one of the most intriguing and mysterious character of crusade era, nay of all time.

A defeat in major battle but certainly good news for the crusaders for a change, finally succession is secured, reinforcements arrive from Europe, new heir to antioch seems capable enough, victory at Marj al Saffar, Capture of Marfaniya,Banyas is taken without loss, the assassins come to the frankish side rather than the sunni side, civil strife between edessa and antioch is avoided.

No ethno-linguistic group dealt with Crusades more than the Turkic peoples did. Turks dealt with Crusades for 600 years both in the form of actual Crusades or Holy Leagues. There are around more than 12 Crusades & Holy Leagues directed at Turks. Pope should get on his knees and apologise to Turks.

I’m sorry but these series are too Euro-centric. You’re relying almost solely on European sources when there are plenty (and more reliable) Muslim sources on the conflict.
It’s targeted towards a western audience, there is only so much any history teacher can do when trying to explain things in a way a non-historian can understand
I have bad news for you. There were no Arabs in the Crusades. You were holed up in the cities and begging the Maturudi Oghuz Turks to save your lives. Seljuks, Artuqids, Burids, Danishmends, Sökmenids, Zengids are all dynasties of Oghuz Turk origin, the Mamluks who came after them are Kipchak Turks, the Ottomans are Oghuz Turks, you Asharis were writing books at that time, hiding in the cities and begging us Maturudi Turks to save your lives. Only the Ayyubids are a dynasty of Arab origin. They are a Turkified dynasty because they were slaves of the Zengi Dynasty. They are a failed, thieving, immoral, liar dynasty. They have no success other than taking Jerusalem. And They will give it back to the infidels in the 5-6th Crusades. What really saved Jerusalem were the Khwarezm Oghuz Turks who survived the Mongol Oppression.

So we have the founding of the Knights Templar and the arrival of the Assassins in the Crusader States, all in one episode.
There were certainly no secret societies sponsoring this episode.

What a coincidence
This episode is obviously leaving hints about the Order of the Templars and the Creed of the Assassins. Altair just entered the chat.

So that isn’t Saladin?
@goldenfiberwheat238 No, this is the guy who's going to Kickstart the fall of the Crusader states, his Son Nuradin is going to expand more on his work, and then Nuradin's underling is the man we know today as Saladin and who's going to finish it.
But it all starts with this man, Zengi
we need more of this series, absolutely your best is shown every time you upload.
I don't like the ending though so I don't live the series.

I have some sympathy for Baldwin II. He wanted to expand his realm only to become frustrated at every turn. Nice video.
Balkdwin II got stopped by a mere bridge. Shows how he was not a military genius.
Saladin is considered a military genius by some even though he lost more battles than he won even though he always outnumbered his enemies. I'd say the bar for being a military genius is pretty low.
