The Mongol player must've been cheating. No way they were able to core all that, rebuild their manpower and keep a strong economy and not have a million rebels spawn because a comet was sighted.
+bilibiliism Not "soon after". Things only really fell apart after the civil war between Kublai Khan and Ariq Böke, and that was towards the end of the 13th century.
Videos on important rulers throughout history is a great way to continue your channel. I look forward to many more of these. It would be cool if you do these style of videos on Spearthrower Owl (ruler of Teotihuacan) in the future.
The fact that they conquered Russia in the winter really isn't all that impressive. For one thing, Russia at this time was comprised of several small states in eastern Europe that were not numerous or organized enough to take on the Mongols. In addition, the winter was not a hindrance to the Mongols; they were used to fighting in such conditions in their homeland. It shouldn't be seen as an accomplishment that they were able to conquer the Russians at this point in time.
This one has been clarified to be of Genghis. You must be confused because Attila has the nickname ''Scourge of God'' However a statement on this. I found it hard to believe that there are original sources of either Attila or Genghis saying ''badass awesome quotes like these'' In the era of Attila the sources for Huns were like: ''A friend of mine, who has a friend that his brother is in the hunnic army'' The best expert of Huns were a byzantine-greek scholar who never met Attila and some roman minors In the case of Genghis the only source is the ''Secret History of The Mongols'' and then Marco Polo, who never met him (he met kublai-grandson to Genghis- though) I consider phrases like these hoaxes, which internet reproduces because they just sound too cool Even the ''Scourge of God'' was applied to Attila 800 years after his death
Mr Seboss Um.. No? I'm pretty sure Atilla is a person of 5'th century when Western Roman was still a proper thing. And he DID invaded WR but galia, not italy and defeated by jointed Roman-Galico force and believed to be killed there. And what you have wrote there is what I remember as exact case of Mongol that happened when they marched hungary but I heard thats just kind of rumor, not what actually happened but I', not sure about this. Sorry for terrible grammar :)
And this is the fact that i insist on. The sources are scattered and confused in an effort of modern bibliography to make them sound like barbarian savages. Anyway, returning to the ''scourge of god'' thing I am familiar with the story of negotiations with pope Leo I, but the sources of the time mention that they just successfully negotiated a ransom and Attila withdrew his army. Later ''sources'' around the 12th, when the Catholic Church tried to fix some divine justice and history mess things up. According to them: ''Attila the Hun invaded northern Italy in 452, but spared the city of Rome due to the diplomacy of Pope Leo I and the rough shape of his own troops. (Legend has it that St. Peter and St. Paul appeared to Attila, threatening to strike him dead if he did not settle with Pope Leo I ) The ''nickname'' flagellum dei'' appears in the late myth with the appearance of St. Peter ;) After that i donot know what you mention. Maybe @Zenithal is right and you mess something up. Well, i love both your diligence: Do you happen to know any original sources about the matter?? (I know that propably ''Getica'' is same mythological good story about the Huns-Goths and the ''Secret History of the Mongols'' for the early mongolian accomplishments @Ollie Bye If you notice this give us your opinion
@ameen shindoli Genghis wasn't an actual devil sent by God, he was a good general who morbidly enjoyed to do torture. Us Indians have done some messed up things in our lifetimes.
Still not a massive fan of the ghostly, floating markers that suddenly move. I'd rather have them accompanied by arrows to show in which direction the armies are moving.
A minor mistake, Xijin and Zhongdu both referred to the same place, which is modernday Beijing. Xijin was the Khitan name for the city and Zhongdu was the name given by the Jurchens. Mongols later changed its name to Dadu, which literally means "Great Capital", and this was the first time that Beijing had become the capital of China.
These are awesome, Ollie. Can I make one suggestion? I'm not a super fast reader, so would it be possible to transition the text blocks a bit slower, as well as provide a fade in/out between blocks? After I read one block, I look at the map animation and I don't see the next text block transition, then I miss crucial information. I realise you can't please everyone, but this small change will make it more enjoyable, I feel. Thanks for sharing!
Damn, these are really badass to watch. I like reading and watching what happened instead of reading about what's going elsewhere or trying to piece it together.
Ironically, the Qarakhitai are actually the descendants of the Khitan people, a close relative of the Mongols that ruled northern China from 907 to 1125, then they were pushed to the west by the Jurchens, and then they defeated the Seljuk Turks and founded a new empire in Central Asia. They could be seen as proto-Mongols or predecessor of the Mongols.
The Battle of Ain Ghalot which was happened in Palestine , which Muslims fought against the Mongols, was the decisive battle that halted the Mongol advance
free inner mongolia? why dont you first free tuva,lake baikal and north mongol land from your russian masters? oh yes,you unworthy useless descendants of genghis khan are afraid of russians who were once conquered by genghis khan. genghis khan must be crying in his tomb. ----- and it's outer mongolia and inner mongolia.not north and south.
and by the way,how come your mongolian writing has became cyrillic/russsian? russians were once slaves of 'your great genghis' and what rubbish are mongolians today?

In my opinion the real hero in the legend of Alexander is his father Philipp II. He created very effective army in a backward country Macedonia was that time, conquer large territories and whole Greece, unite it. Grew up a son, gave him the best education, military training and battle experience. And prepared an invasion to Persia. Alexander just took an army and used it as a toy for personal glory. His empire ended with his death. Genghis was better. He started as a steppe poor barbarian from a small tribe without any resources. But he built the largest empire in history his sons lead after him.
I love both but i have to give it to alexander, he reminds me of myself.. born privledged and well educated unlike the other rich educated kids he built something no else before him could.. genghis lived upon a time with alot of empires already.. alexander was the first.. he conquerd 90% of the known world at the time from greece to egypt to persia to punjab India!! indo greek legacy lasted 250years ... ceaser and genghis knew about him and wanted to rival .. genghis knew what he would be conqering but alexander went on a suicide mission.. ceaser was so jealous of alexander that when romans took egypt he burnt the library of greeks in alexandria egypt
The true appearance of Chinghiz Khan, the real History of the Tatars and many of Turkic peoples: Perhaps you know, that an outstanding historian-scientist D. Iskhakov wrote: ‘the true history of the Tatars, of the people in every respect historical, is not written yet’. However, recently were published books about the unwritten (hidden) real history of the Tatars by independent Tatar historian Gali Yenikey. His books present a new, or rather ‘well-forgotted old’ information about the real history of the Tatars and other Turkic peoples. It must be said, that in official history there are many falsifications and slanders about the ‘Tatars - wild nomads’ etc., which were written by pro-Chinese, Persian, also both Romanovs and Bolshevik ideologists. However primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names ‘Mongol’ and ‘Tatar’ (‘Tartar’) in the medieval Eurasia: According to data of many medieval sources, the name ‘Mongol’ until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name. While ‘‘the name ‘Tatar’ was ‘the name of the own ethnos (nation) of Chinghiz Khan'. Also ‘…Chinghiz Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the ‘Mongolian’…’’ (an academician-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century). This confirmed by many little known facts. So in fact Chinghiz Khan was from among the medieval Tatars and the outstanding and progressive leader of the Turkic peoples. It is worth saying that according to many little-known data, the ancient and medieval Tatars were a very developed people both in spiritual and material aspects. It was the medieval Tatars who created the first Constitution of Eurasia, which was called in Tatar ‘Great Yasu’ (in Tatar means 'Great Scripture'). But with time many of their descendants became spiritually disabled and forgot invaluable doctrine and covenants of the creators of Great Yasu... So that the Tatars of Chinghiz Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among the Tatars, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Uighurs, and many others. And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite to the politicians of the tsars Romanovs and Bolsheviks dictators, which had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations... About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of the Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, which was hidden from us, had been written, in detail and proved, in the book ‘Forgotten Heritage of Tatars’ - it is one of the dooks by Gali Yenikey, translated in Engilsh. There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book. This e-book (in English language) you can easily find in the Internet: payhip.com/b/Xujb On the cover of this book you can see the true appearance of Chinghiz Khan. It is his lifetime portrait. In the ancient Tatar historical source ‘About the clan of Chinghiz Khan’ its author gave the words of the mother of Chinghiz Khan: ‘My son Chinghiz looks like this: he has a golden bushy beard, he wears a white fur coat and rides on a white horse’. As we can see, the portrait of an unknown medieval artist in many ways corresponds to the words of the mother of the Hero, which have come down to us in this ancient Tatar epic. Therefore, this portrait, which corresponds to the information of the Tatar source and to data from other sources, we believe, the most reliably transmits the appearance of Chinghiz Khan...’. And here's another interesting thing: We can't keep silent that some 'very important' official historians try to retell the content (or rather, the concept) of the works of the independent historian Gali Yenikey (Yenikeiev). But they conceal where the information was by them taken from. However it turned out they were unsuccessful and confused - this official historians, apparently, do not dare to show the real history of the Tatars, being afraid of their ‘scientific chiefs’. But not only this - see the portrait of Chingiz Khan - see on the 7th minute of the video of the Institute of history of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan (Russia): ua-cam.com/video/3WqB71gs5bc/v-deo.html - also this portrait is shown there both before and after. This portrait is reconstruction, which made by Yenikeiev on the basis of a lifetime portrait of Chingiz Khan and of information from the medieval Tatar Dastan (epic) 'About the Origin of Ciingiz Khan', as well as from other historical sources. This portrait was used by authors of the video without Yenikeiev's permission and without telling where the portrait came from. This portrait is published on the cover of G. R. Yenikeiev's book ‘Forgotten heritage of the Tatars’: see: payhip.com/b/Xujb For the first time this portrait was published on the cover of the third book by G. R. Yenikeiev ‘In the footsteps of the black legend’ (published in 2009), see its electronic version: payhip.com/b/DNdC This ‘creativity’ of the official historians is called among the decent people as plagiarism - that is, as theft.
Ollie, u did a great job in general! However, pls allow me to correct a few geographic errors of ur masterpiece. The city of DaTong(great unity) is actual the XiJing (Western capital) of Jin and ZhongDu(Central capital) of Jin or later DaDu(grand capital) / Khanbaliq(Mong: Khan's city) of Yuan which should be "XiJin" is on the map, where BeiJing is located today. And NingXia(Peaceful Xia) is the provincial name granted by Kublai and untilised until now in PRC, after XiXia was conquered by his grand father, Temujin, yet the capital of XiXia is known as YinChuan(silver stream) today.
The Battle of Ain Ghalot, which took place in Palestine and fought by the Muslims against the Mongols, was the decisive battle that stopped the Mongol advance
true but the mongol's reconstruction of the silk road allowed for diseases to spread and test themselves on different distant populations which allowed for a disease as deadly as the black death wipe out nearly half of europe's population which caused a major shift in class and early commerce as well as distrust in the old roman catholic order which lead to the reformation and the development of mercantilism, rise of the renaissance, the enlightenment and the revival of the european empire, destruction of empire through mass scale war caused by heavy industrialization and mechanization with all this leading up to the development of nuclear weapons, which shifted war between great powers to ones of convention to smaller proxy wars ect. which is where we are at now. before the mongols, there was a well established dynastic and theological order in european and arab worlds, which was disrupted by the black death, the change in order broke the post-antiquity feudal and iqta world and created a new one. tribal horsemen native to east asia changed the western world with a single (a dozen million) arrow(s) which ultimately lead to the colonial eras that ultimately changed the entire world. they were the historic peoples who caused the most rapid and relatively direct change to the globe.
Dear Ollie Bye You channel is so great But can you make a history of Australia from before British Colony Until Now I hope you make it Thank you,You awesome:)
Excellent! The Mongols had a big advantage with their ponies and their bows. First to use terror as a tactic. When they were marching up through the valleys they had these huge drums they'd beat on - scare the crap out of their opponents. No mercy was shown. You were either a slave used as a human shield or you fought for the Mongols. That was their other advantage. Didn't care how many slaves they used up in battles.
I really do feel that the 'ponies and bows' argument is too weak. The horse and the composite bow had been the staple of steppe warfare for over 1500 years by the time of the Mongols. Sure, they did other innovative things, but that wasn't one of them. EVERYONE (she said in a hyperbolic manner) used skirmish cavalry tactics.
Yeah wasn't just those but the pony they used was a big advantage. The Mongolian pony could live off the land - so an Army with those didn't have the huge logistical nightmare of trying to haul food along for horses to eat. Meant that their cav could attack and attack and attack some more. Could stop anywhere for the night and they literally slept on their ponies. Another thing was that they stole siege tech and the builders to make them from China which was best in the world. All the heavy lifting was done by their slave Army which they didn't give a crap about - they just get more slaves. Notice how they didn't want to be taking on eastern European heavy cavalry though. Not much of a logistical supply line for the home team there. The playing field got a lot smaller and a lot swampier.
They didn't so much 'steal' siege tech, rather they employed Chinese and Persian engineers. The Chinese engineers helped introduce gunpowder to the rest of Eurasia, while Persian engineers brought the counterweight trebuchet to China. Also, the pure cavalry tactics were only employed in the early years. Once the Mongols conquered different regions with different styles of warfare, these peoples were levied into the army and it became more diverse.
Leaders of 1000-1400 : omg i need to go all of these Lands but at least i will make an empire :"D today leaders: *sends nukes* yei i conquered the world
why they didn't gave much attention to the riches of India? of course, they did tried a few times through Punjab(every time got repelled by Delhi sultanate) but i think, that too was not full scale invasions as seen in the Mongol conquests of middle east, china and eastern Europe.
+John Doe.....Timur didn't succeeded in capturing India. he just went in a couple of times. sacked N looted, then turned back. it was babur, a timurid decedent who finally defeated sultan Lodhi, capturing Delhi and formed the moghul Empire. but they are considered as Indian regardless of their ancestry cause they made India their home unlike other conquerers in history. that is why mughal empire is considered Indian, rather than Mongoloid or Turkic. but that was centuries after the real Mongol empire, and my doubt remains still, why the original Mongol empire gave a blind eye towards India. it was at their riding distance and a tremendous level of riches awaits them there. can anyone with a sense RIDE PAST THAT to the barren deserts of western Asia and the steppes of eastern Europe. i wonder why? India was the richest place during that time, probably even richer than every middle east and every European empires combined. they could have had enough riches to outweigh all the loots from all their campaigns until that. i think most people with hunger to land, money and power think this way, right? so why a blind eye to the richest place on the planet?
Suraj Indian was indeed rich. But with massive armies and rough terrain. The Khan did not want to continue invading west until the Khwazerem Sultan killed his envoys for peace and trade. That was the motive for invading Persia. China was a much closer and perhaps richer target than India with more fertile plains and woods from Korea and North China. But who knows why really. Only God now.
I Personally Prefer The Term "Ghenghis Khanate" To "Mongol Empire", It More Signifys The Greatness! Plenty Of People Have Been Called Emperor, But Very Few Have Been Called Ghenghis Khan, Or Great, Erm, Khan, And, Thus, They Deserve A Special Title To Show The Greatness!
Cengizhan is a Turk. Timur, Cengiz, Oguz and Ugur are stil common names used in Turkey. The name mongols, came from Turkic tribes who has a war between them selfs bc some were believing in several gods and other Turkic tribes believed in 1 creater ( tengri ) After this argument and a war, the turkic tribes split up and they called turks who believed in several gods , the mongols. so technicly they are turks but given the name mongol by other turks bc they believed diffrently
he was blue-eyed, and only people from turkic tribes have such color of eyes. You'll never find mongols with such appearance. I was rather shocked when heard it, actually only 3 turkic tribes have blue or green-eyed people: 1 Wusun tribe, 2. Kipchak tribe, 3. Kanglii tribe. And they are also called PI tribes.
Kamilah Bahyt he was green eyed and many Mongols including myself have green eyes. Some even have blonde hair. He also had a C3 Y Chromosome which is common among only Mongols so fuck off with your pan-turkism
first kingdom to Revolt against Mongols were the Kashmiris in 1254-1255 but when The great khan found out that his darughachi was killed he sent an army of 80000 men and killed 90% of population the valley including the King Ramādeva . The capital city srinagar where I also live Had a population of 140000 but it was reduced to 120 people , And fhe rural people fled to the mountains to hide . And kashmir wouldnt have recovered If the Muslim sufis didnt came here and provided aid to the survivers and also preached islam and 10 out of 11 Clans became muslim .
As a de jure nation-state? He has made videos on that topic. He also has a very comprehensive History of South Asia. I would like to see a day-by-day or similarly thorough video on the civil war though.
The plan is to do a few more of these covering the rest of the rise of the Mongol Empire. Sound good?
oh yeah
Sounds awesome! Looking forward to them, this was a great video!
Sure does ! I have a huge interest for the nations of the steppes, they seem so mysterious. I would love to learn more from your videos :)

They forgot to core and reduce over-extension.
The Mongol player must've been cheating. No way they were able to core all that, rebuild their manpower and keep a strong economy and not have a million rebels spawn because a comet was sighted.
Ikr and that overextension. Probably using console commands
To be fair, they did not core all the land. Most lands they conquired ended rebelled and independent soon after.
+bilibiliism Not "soon after". Things only really fell apart after the civil war between Kublai Khan and Ariq Böke, and that was towards the end of the 13th century.

I consider phrases like these hoaxes, which internet reproduces because they just sound too cool

Very well done! This was quite a interesting video, I learned a lot. :D

I really liked this one, amazing how much information is crammed into 5 mins. Great job
But beware of Qarakhitai, they are without honor!
"The Naiman are our enemy, if you drive them from the steppes then, and only then, we will join you."
A blue wolf took as his spouse a fallow doe. They settled at the head of the Onon river to raise their offspring. And there were born the Mongols.
Ironically, the Qarakhitai are actually the descendants of the Khitan people, a close relative of the Mongols that ruled northern China from 907 to 1125, then they were pushed to the west by the Jurchens, and then they defeated the Seljuk Turks and founded a new empire in Central Asia.

Can you do a video on the conquests of Ogedi Khan and maybe Monke Khan and I would love to see the conquests of Genghis Khan
Looks awesome! I really enjoyed this style of video!!!
so basically Genghis khan was like alexander the great.
In my opinion the real hero in the legend of Alexander is his father Philipp II. He created very effective army in a backward country Macedonia was that time, conquer large territories and whole Greece, unite it. Grew up a son, gave him the best education, military training and battle experience. And prepared an invasion to Persia. Alexander just took an army and used it as a toy for personal glory. His empire ended with his death.
Genghis was better. He started as a steppe poor barbarian from a small tribe without any resources. But he built the largest empire in history his sons lead after him.
Cenghis > Alexander
ur name is batu trololo .. i wish golden horde woulda chopped popes head off .. actually real hero would be subatai !
I love both but i have to give it to alexander, he reminds me of myself.. born privledged and well educated unlike the other rich educated kids he built something no else before him could.. genghis lived upon a time with alot of empires already.. alexander was the first.. he conquerd 90% of the known world at the time from greece to egypt to persia to punjab India!! indo greek legacy lasted 250years ... ceaser and genghis knew about him and wanted to rival .. genghis knew what he would be conqering but alexander went on a suicide mission.. ceaser was so jealous of alexander that when romans took egypt he burnt the library of greeks in alexandria egypt

However primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names ‘Mongol’ and ‘Tatar’ (‘Tartar’) in the medieval Eurasia:
According to data of many medieval sources, the name ‘Mongol’ until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name.
While ‘‘the name ‘Tatar’ was ‘the name of the own ethnos (nation) of Chinghiz Khan'. Also ‘…Chinghiz Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the ‘Mongolian’…’’ (an academician-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century). This confirmed by many little known facts. So in fact Chinghiz Khan was from among the medieval Tatars and the outstanding and progressive leader of the Turkic peoples.
It is worth saying that according to many little-known data, the ancient and medieval Tatars were a very developed people both in spiritual and material aspects. It was the medieval Tatars who created the first Constitution of Eurasia, which was called in Tatar ‘Great Yasu’ (in Tatar means 'Great Scripture').
But with time many of their descendants became spiritually disabled and forgot invaluable doctrine and covenants of the creators of Great Yasu... So that the Tatars of Chinghiz Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among the Tatars, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Uighurs, and many others.
And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite to the politicians of the tsars Romanovs and Bolsheviks dictators, which had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations...
About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of the Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, which was hidden from us, had been written, in detail and proved, in the book ‘Forgotten Heritage of Tatars’ - it is one of the dooks by Gali Yenikey, translated in Engilsh.
There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book. This e-book (in English language) you can easily find in the Internet: payhip.com/b/Xujb
On the cover of this book you can see the true appearance of Chinghiz Khan. It is his lifetime portrait. In the ancient Tatar historical source ‘About the clan of Chinghiz Khan’ its author gave the words of the mother of Chinghiz Khan: ‘My son Chinghiz looks like this: he has a golden bushy beard, he wears a white fur coat and rides on a white horse’. As we can see, the portrait of an unknown medieval artist in many ways corresponds to the words of the mother of the Hero, which have come down to us in this ancient Tatar epic. Therefore, this portrait, which corresponds to the information of the Tatar source and to data from other sources, we believe, the most reliably transmits the appearance of Chinghiz Khan...’.
And here's another interesting thing:
We can't keep silent that some 'very important' official historians try to retell the content (or rather, the concept) of the works of the independent historian Gali Yenikey (Yenikeiev). But they conceal where the information was by them taken from. However it turned out they were unsuccessful and confused - this official historians, apparently, do not dare to show the real history of the Tatars, being afraid of their ‘scientific chiefs’.
But not only this - see the portrait of Chingiz Khan - see on the 7th minute of the video of the Institute of history of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan (Russia): ua-cam.com/video/3WqB71gs5bc/v-deo.html - also this portrait is shown there both before and after.
This portrait is reconstruction, which made by Yenikeiev on the basis of a lifetime portrait of Chingiz Khan and of information from the medieval Tatar Dastan (epic) 'About the Origin of Ciingiz Khan', as well as from other historical sources.
This portrait was used by authors of the video without Yenikeiev's permission and without telling where the portrait came from. This portrait is published on the cover of G. R. Yenikeiev's book ‘Forgotten heritage of the Tatars’: see: payhip.com/b/Xujb
For the first time this portrait was published on the cover of the third book by G. R. Yenikeiev ‘In the footsteps of the black legend’ (published in 2009), see its electronic version: payhip.com/b/DNdC
This ‘creativity’ of the official historians is called among the decent people as plagiarism - that is, as theft.
Can you do ' the Georgian reconquista'?
One of your best good work
Sweet. Would love to see one for Tamerlane.
Do you know of any solid literature on Genghis Khan and his conquests?
My grandpa❤️ Miss you old geng
Beside true history or not this was a btful video keep going like this.
more like this plz
0:54 'Titular title.' Ollie, I love you, but come on!
Ollie, u did a great job in general! However, pls allow me to correct a few geographic errors of ur masterpiece.
The city of DaTong(great unity) is actual the XiJing (Western capital) of Jin and ZhongDu(Central capital) of Jin or later DaDu(grand capital) / Khanbaliq(Mong: Khan's city) of Yuan which should be "XiJin" is on the map, where BeiJing is located today. And NingXia(Peaceful Xia) is the provincial name granted by Kublai and untilised until now in PRC, after XiXia was conquered by his grand father, Temujin, yet the capital of XiXia is known as YinChuan(silver stream) today.
When are you going to do the history of arabia?
Perfect! if you could have worked in the Ogedai Guyuk Mongke Ariq Boke Kublai and Togan Temur It would be great
Best clip ever well done
The Battle of Ain Ghalot, which took place in Palestine and fought by the Muslims against the Mongols, was the decisive battle that stopped the Mongol advance
if you believe in cause and effect, this genghis khan dude practically created the modern world
true but the mongol's reconstruction of the silk road allowed for diseases to spread and test themselves on different distant populations which allowed for a disease as deadly as the black death wipe out nearly half of europe's population which caused a major shift in class and early commerce as well as distrust in the old roman catholic order which lead to the reformation and the development of mercantilism, rise of the renaissance, the enlightenment and the revival of the european empire, destruction of empire through mass scale war caused by heavy industrialization and mechanization with all this leading up to the development of nuclear weapons, which shifted war between great powers to ones of convention to smaller proxy wars ect. which is where we are at now. before the mongols, there was a well established dynastic and theological order in european and arab worlds, which was disrupted by the black death, the change in order broke the post-antiquity feudal and iqta world and created a new one.
tribal horsemen native to east asia changed the western world with a single (a dozen million) arrow(s) which ultimately lead to the colonial eras that ultimately changed the entire world. they were the historic peoples who caused the most rapid and relatively direct change to the globe.
nice video, btw 2:28 is Zhongdu 中都 not zongdu
Dear Ollie Bye
You channel is so great
But can you make a history of Australia from before British Colony Until Now
I hope you make it
Thank you,You awesome:)
Excellent!
The Mongols had a big advantage with their ponies and their bows. First to use terror as a tactic. When they were marching up through the valleys they had these huge drums they'd beat on - scare the crap out of their opponents. No mercy was shown. You were either a slave used as a human shield or you fought for the Mongols. That was their other advantage. Didn't care how many slaves they used up in battles.
I really do feel that the 'ponies and bows' argument is too weak. The horse and the composite bow had been the staple of steppe warfare for over 1500 years by the time of the Mongols. Sure, they did other innovative things, but that wasn't one of them. EVERYONE (she said in a hyperbolic manner) used skirmish cavalry tactics.
Yeah wasn't just those but the pony they used was a big advantage. The Mongolian pony could live off the land - so an Army with those didn't have the huge logistical nightmare of trying to haul food along for horses to eat. Meant that their cav could attack and attack and attack some more. Could stop anywhere for the night and they literally slept on their ponies. Another thing was that they stole siege tech and the builders to make them from China which was best in the world.
All the heavy lifting was done by their slave Army which they didn't give a crap about - they just get more slaves.
Notice how they didn't want to be taking on eastern European heavy cavalry though. Not much of a logistical supply line for the home team there. The playing field got a lot smaller and a lot swampier.
They didn't so much 'steal' siege tech, rather they employed Chinese and Persian engineers. The Chinese engineers helped introduce gunpowder to the rest of Eurasia, while Persian engineers brought the counterweight trebuchet to China. Also, the pure cavalry tactics were only employed in the early years. Once the Mongols conquered different regions with different styles of warfare, these peoples were levied into the army and it became more diverse.
The text disappears to quickly.
This was great, but I too had trouble reading many of the cards without pausing as they went too fast. And I'm usually a fast reader.
The Xs with names were OK for me though.
Great job !
Leaders of 1000-1400 : omg i need to go all of these Lands but at least i will make an empire :"D
today leaders: *sends nukes* yei i conquered the world
Correction: ...with taking control of the cities OF/IN Khorasan.
These aren't giga chads. These are hyper chads.
Wonderful video but much of his conquests were possible because of his daughters that not many people know about
Nice going, Genghis
KhanBalig means kings city
why they didn't gave much attention to the riches of India?
of course, they did tried a few times through Punjab(every time got repelled by Delhi sultanate)
but i think, that too was not full scale invasions as seen in the Mongol conquests of middle east, china and eastern Europe.
Suraj
Mongol successors did. Timur and moghuls
+John Doe.....Timur didn't succeeded in capturing India. he just went in a couple of times. sacked N looted, then turned back.
it was babur, a timurid decedent who finally defeated sultan Lodhi, capturing Delhi and formed the moghul Empire. but they are considered as Indian regardless of their ancestry cause they made India their home unlike other conquerers in history. that is why mughal empire is considered Indian, rather than Mongoloid or Turkic.
but that was centuries after the real Mongol empire, and my doubt remains still, why the original Mongol empire gave a blind eye towards India. it was at their riding distance and a tremendous level of riches awaits them there. can anyone with a sense RIDE PAST THAT to the barren deserts of western Asia and the steppes of eastern Europe.
i wonder why? India was the richest place during that time, probably even richer than every middle east and every European empires combined. they could have had enough riches to outweigh all the loots from all their campaigns until that. i think most people with hunger to land, money and power think this way, right? so why a blind eye to the richest place on the planet?
Suraj
Indian was indeed rich. But with massive armies and rough terrain. The Khan did not want to continue invading west until the Khwazerem Sultan killed his envoys for peace and trade. That was the motive for invading Persia. China was a much closer and perhaps richer target than India with more fertile plains and woods from Korea and North China. But who knows why really. Only God now.
they had to get into fight b/w ongoing fight Bhartiya and muslim countries.
Like the Dothraki!
I Personally Prefer The Term "Ghenghis Khanate" To "Mongol Empire", It More Signifys The Greatness! Plenty Of People Have Been Called Emperor, But Very Few Have Been Called Ghenghis Khan, Or Great, Erm, Khan, And, Thus, They Deserve A Special Title To Show The Greatness!
You should do a documentary,,.......with a voice
no voice narration :(
Just spam horse archers and you'll win, simple nomadic tactic.
Great !
Cengizhan is a Turk. Timur, Cengiz, Oguz and Ugur are stil common names used in Turkey. The name mongols, came from Turkic tribes who has a war between them selfs bc some were believing in several gods and other Turkic tribes believed in 1 creater ( tengri ) After this argument and a war, the turkic tribes split up and they called turks who believed in several gods , the mongols. so technicly they are turks but given the name mongol by other turks bc they believed diffrently
Ottoman Empire
Mongol tengri tradition has only one God. Thus said Mongke
That is impossible as the Turks are gay.
he was blue-eyed, and only people from turkic tribes have such color of eyes. You'll never find mongols with such appearance. I was rather shocked when heard it, actually only 3 turkic tribes have blue or green-eyed people: 1 Wusun tribe, 2. Kipchak tribe, 3. Kanglii tribe. And they are also called PI tribes.
neden her videoda ülkede yaşayan en gerizekalı türkler ve akit çomarlar bizi rezil etmek zorunda? neden ama neden?
Kamilah Bahyt he was green eyed and many Mongols including myself have green eyes. Some even have blonde hair. He also had a C3 Y Chromosome which is common among only Mongols so fuck off with your pan-turkism
Mongol Kurultai = Turkish Kurultay?
yeah same shit
turki copycats?
This is awaome i cant even make this on roblox world conquest
Eu4 in nutshell
Xixia didn’t invaded before Khwarezm
Ghengis was a more brutal version of Christopher Columbus
Samarqand wasn't the capital of Khwarazmids. It was Gurganj.
well...that's call glory
you mistook the places of Buryats and Kyrgyz
Are you kyrgiz?
they are aggressive ai as fuck
That's how you play HOI4.
What's the point of these if you already did the history of the entire world?
That only shows how the world looked at the end of each year - there's a lot more to it than that.
Interesting
first kingdom to Revolt against Mongols were the Kashmiris in 1254-1255 but when The great khan found out that his darughachi was killed he sent an army of 80000 men and killed 90% of population the valley including the King Ramādeva . The capital city srinagar where I also live Had a population of 140000 but it was reduced to 120 people , And fhe rural people fled to the mountains to hide . And kashmir wouldnt have recovered If the Muslim sufis didnt came here and provided aid to the survivers and also preached islam and 10 out of 11 Clans became muslim .
Yay, my ancestor lol
