Who else do you think should be considered amongst the most fearsome warriors in history?
Saladin he’s just cool
Hannibal Barca he completed some thing that was thought to be impossible, encircling a larger army with a smaller army. The only reason he lost was because he didn’t have the full support of Carthage.
I wouldn't call them the "most fearsome" in history, but one army I'm sad not very many people talk about are the Cimbri. Their claim to fame may have been short-lived, but they crushed Roman legions multiple times over the course of six years after invading Gaul.
HE should be.
The vikings, specially the norwegian bunch of them o.O
And lol the trojan dogshark, is the most impressive 😁😅😅
My grandfather served in the China Burma India (CBI) theater during WWII and was stationed in Tibet although they traveled throughout the CBI verifying/updating badly outdated maps. Among the many things he brought home from the war was a kukri from Nepal which I have now. I totally get why they were such feared weapons now. They are quite versatile, something of a hybrid between a large, heavy knife and a solid hatchet. They can slice and stab like a knife but with the inward curve and weight centered far forward, they also have great chopping power. I know they've been becoming increasingly popular as a survival knife in recent years because of their utility.
He must have taken someone's prize. They don't allow others to carry them. Like the samurai swords it is a sacrilege to carry one unless you are a samurai by the code. Having one without the training was cause for a gurka to kill the offender.
@@charlesmaurer6214considering it was in the Japanese theater of WW2, it is likely he took one from a deceased Gurkha during combat
@@charlesmaurer6214khukuri or kukri is a weapon almost everyone has in Nepal. You can buy them easily in the store but prices may vary with the quality of steel and woods usedand also the sizes. Big khukuris can even cut trees easily.
I definitely expected the Mongols because of their sheer dominance and the terrifying way they conducted their negotiations, but I liked the ones they mentioned and also learned about one unit I didn't know about: the arditi.
If there were 300 Gurkhas at Thermopylae, they would have probably all made it back to Nepal and taken Xerxes' head as a souvenir. The Fat Electrician has a video about them that does them far more justice than I can, but even it just scratches the surface of their BAMF factor. The odds are so bad, it's like the Grim Reaper has to have shown up to claim their souls, saw what he was up against, noped out, and settled for the quickest way to balance his books.
as a kiwi and part Maori i must say what they said is pretty accurate, the treaty of Waitangi caused the land wars and caused the famous conflicts fought on New Zealand soil between the tribes and the British forces. i recommend anyone looks up videos on the subject. the warriors berried in our soul rest where they belong, we keep their Marai's (Meeting Grounds) sacred and safe. it does feel sad to know our native island nation is dominant by another peoples, however our native groups and Pakeha (a white New Zealander) live in peace and harmony with each other. a united peoples, a united nation, with warriors never forgotten and spiritual contact always near and in rugby it doesn't matter what happens as long as our Aussie cousins don't beat us
the rest of the warriors were pretty cool
James Cook did indeed go to New Zealand. As part of a college anthropology class, I’ve been talking with a guy I know from New Zealand, and he compared Cook’s impact on New Zealand to Columbus’s impact on the Americas, including the terrible actions and controversial modern viewpoint.
15:07 don't know if you knew this, but Harrison Ford was really sick on the day that scene was filmed. He was supposed to originally fight the other guy hand-to-hand but changed it to Indy shooting the other because Ford was too sick to do the original scene. Truly a happy accident.
Haha that's awesome. I'm glad they did the scene that way.
tbh, at 5:30, what I thought I heard:
Chris: "Hey, everyone, it's Chris."
Mr. Terry: "Hey, Tim"
I know now that he actually said "Hey, it's him" but it was funny to have misheard it at first
As far as most frightening you gotta put the aztecs up there. Although the conquistadors vastly outclassed them technologically The Conquistadors were afraid to go to sleep because of them. Imagine you're at camp and you're woken up at night by an aztec death whistle before they attack. Especially if you knew what was gonna happen to you if they captured you.
imagine a zulu warrior, incorporating a musket into his shield in place of the wooden pole.
On a side note, would recommend a film "Once Were Warriors" about how modern day Māori cope or lack of in society, grim but good.. Surprising number from that film worked in Star Wars, e.g. Boba Fett.
While you are part right in metal work of the natives of the Comanche, there were some very advanced metal work found in some areas. Aside the great powers the spanish broke, the Moundbuilders (often a giant race with red hair and 2 full rows of teeth) had a type of copperwork we still can not copy. A copper broadsword that once held by Sunrise museum was tested to be hard and strong as early modern steels. It was recovered from the S. Charleston WV mound and the giant (with red hair) removed to the Smithsonian, that after denies to this day they hold any moundbuilder remains after digging up hundreds of them. As a child I saw the display in the Sunrise attic with a hair sample. With the recent Viking settlements uncovered in Canada the guides suggested it might have been a viking, but later work of Richard Dewhurst makes a strong case that it was a different species of human and civilization that the Smithsonian actively covered up.
Zulu was the only one I thought of from the start out of their list, but I agree, it's definitely a good list. I've heard of all but one of them before, almost always in "this group was the most fearsome in history" sort of one-off articles which can be interesting, but those kinds of articles are selling ad clicks not informing people on history. The Arditi were the only ones I hadn't heard of before.
I would say vikings and mongols. Also swedish army in the pike and shot era. Gustav II Adolf innovated alot and made the most out of line infantry with volley fire and cavalry encircling enemies.
I remember watching that video when it 1st came out. It’s cool then and cool now!
Zulu's were my favourite warriors because africa is so large if it wasnt colonized shaka could've taken over so much and that just would've been pretty cool
Well he did. The Mfecane
& it wasn't cool for them I imagine.
As a Zulu I appreciate that😅
It's cool they went with these groups, it would have been nice if it were longer but I feel like warriors like the Spartans, Samurai, Apache and Vikings would have been a great addition. I think the The Romans were so successful more so because of their battle tactics and less of superior hand to hand style combat than the rest, same with the Mongols.
Something not covered in the video about the Comanche is that they actually independently invented cataphract style horse armor from buffalo hide and hardened leather. There’s indigenous art depicting this, though the actual armor has not survived.
I don't like that not many people talk about "Caroleans" that was many countrys nightmare in europ around 1680 to 1718. They always fought armies with way better equipment and many countrys at the same time. They won alot of wars but there way of fighting was also there bigest weakness and bigest assets.
Cook went to NZ. Māoris are credited with inventing trench warfare and I believe are the only native peoples to fight the English to agreeing to a treaty rather be conquered.
15:11 apparently that scene was done that way because Harrison Ford was battling stomach problems and didn't want to be on set that day so they kept it in
I like the fact that my Cammanche ancestors are mentioned. That was super cool. The book "Empire of the Summer Moon", something Joe Rogan mentions whenever he gets on talking about Native Americans. Quana Parker is my relative, also the last chief. I think. Family yes, chief, idr worth a Google.
History: Gurkhas once conquered now Indian state Uttarakhand . two tribes ruled that area (Kumauni and Garhwali) . later British east India Company came and forced Gurkhas to retreat to Nepal and in turn freed the two tribes. I am part of one of those tribes.
Its been over 400 hundred years of that Gurkhas conquest of Uttarakhand but the three tribes (Kumauni and Garhwali and Gurkhas) live peacefully . BTW Both Kumauni and Garhwali tribe members were also part of British military during both world war 1 and 2.
I don’t know how accurate it is, but I believe I read that because Gurkha did their training and lived in the Himalayas at high elevation, their bodies processed oxygen more efficiently. Allowing them to be faster with way more endurance than the enemies
As I understood it... the ghurkas thought the British were "almost " as good they where at fighting, and so that respect, led them to agree to fight for a numerically superior, but equally skilled force. That's why to this day, we revere the only force to fight us to a standstill. Every man is worth his weight is gold!
A knight in full 15th century Plate armor vs a Comache? That would be like Mike Tyson getting into the ring with a toddler. 15th century plate armor made you nigh invulnerable to everything but the heaviest of weaponry. The only things that could hurt you were guns (if they hit you) Blunt weapons, lances from horseback and pollaxes. Not to mention that Europeans Bred Horses specifically for knights called a Destrierere. Basically the biggest most aggressive un neutered Stallions were the ones selected for knights. To put this into perspective imagine those hyper aggressive pit bulls that look and act like monsters? Imagine them but horse sized and significantly stupider (horses are very dumb animals). Plate armor also isn't very cumbersome. 15th century plate is a marvel of engineering, it’s extremely articulated and flexible. You can do cartwheels in full plate. The armor weighs around 60 lbs but the weight is evenly distributed across the body so it doesn't emcumber you nearly as much as what modern soldiers wear since their gear rests solely on the soldiers. In short a knight vs a comache would be an absolute slaughter unless the comache has a firearm.
The polish winged hussars has to be on here, over a century undefeated and the weaponry was highly advanced for the time, the Polish saber is still considered the gold standard of sword fighting and hema to this day
Hey Mr Terry you should do a video on the last war chief featuring The fat electrician
The part about the Maori made me think that you should do a reaction video for Disney’s “Moana.”
I learnt about that rebellion from a history book ages ago
As a South African who watches rugby... Yes it is competitive....
I was watching this and thinking it was awesome that descendants of two of these cultures just did battle yesterday (despite the skinny Englishmen with their colourful cards).
Anyway, congrats from NZ,
Yes horticulture made a territory worth fighting for instead of just moving on. But humans did end up occupying every bit of habitable land on the planet none the less.
The Germans in WWI labelled the Canadian infantry as stormtroopers.
The first man of African ancestry to win the Victoria Cross was Albert Hall, for his action at the Siege of Lucknow in the Sepoy Revolt. he was born in Halifax Canada, the son of liberated slaves from the Chesapeake Bay by the British Navy during it's raid on Washington in the War of 1812.
Hearing about Civ just makes me think of the ridiculous things I've done in Civ 4 with Gandhi and Asoka. Converting the entire world to Indian through cultural pressure alone while completely avoiding war as Gandhi (the biggest challenge of which is getting a city on each continent fairly early while rushing culture tech, especially religions for funding), or rushing to found all the religions and get capitalism as Asoka with just one city so I have the funding to rush to mechanized infantry and conquer the world while everyone else is still on musketeers.
India's Fast Workers in Civ 4 are the most broken culture-specific unit in the game.
I was expecting the Ghurkas, yes
The Maori to me were especially impressive, consistently defeating the most well armed and trained army in the world with outdated weaponry and severe disadvantages in numbers without using guerilla warfare is pretty unheard of in the histories of colonization.
If anyone's beast warriors I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
Gurkas and Zulus I'd have picked myself.
I was hoping samurai would be in there.
They forgot the Teutonic order
@MrTerry I left a response to one of your bits on; ""High School Teacher Reacts to Students Being Smart A**es"". You're welcome.😁
Thanks for watching!
Don't have time to watch rn, will later, but if Galvarino the Mapuche warrior isn't on this list, he should be.
I appreciate you acknowledging that these groups may have something in common that stops them from being top to your famous. Three out of the four are non-white groups that were colonized by white Europeans/Americans. Something to consider about where are minds go to from history
you need a stahlhelm. It would go good with your eyes😂
The All Blacks just lost on Saturday, Oct. 28 to South Africa 11 to 12 in the Rugby World Championship finals. So they can be beat. Sad day for NZ.
Can anyone tell me what happened to his video about travelisrael? I swear it's completely disappeared.
Does anyone know what happend to the Israeli perspective video?
I have a community post scheduled for tomorrow. That will explain it.
@@MrTerry is it bleeding into your offline life? You've done a great job being an unbiased historian don't let anyone say otherwise.
You could have added the american tunnel fighters in vietnam.
The only rugby team historically to be a true rival to the All Blacks is the Springboks. The All Blacks dp however still historically hold the highest rugby success rate and it is true that it is not even close.
The Spartan 300.
Gallowglass
I’d also like to request a reaction video for the episode of “The West Wing” that talks about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
I'm not going to cover Israel/Palestine for now. I have a community post scheduled tomorrow that will explain.
@@MrTerry Understood
Berserkers, ulfhednar, ancient Assyrians, most horsearchers like the huns, scytians, Turks, mongol keshig, magyars, tatars, khazaks, african Dahomey women. Mezo-americans
We native Americans we were never defeated we're still fighting the war the battle fields just changed to the political battle fields. Also yes the New Zealand all blacks just lost to South Africa in the rugby world cup
Me when I get a tummy ache
Harlem Hellfighters.
Don't belittle the true warriors of the past by equating them with soldiers. I'm a history buff and my grandfather was a brigadier general WW1 and WW11
On the rugby question the all blacks where dominant until they got a rival in south africas springboks and until yesterday they where tied for 3 to 3 world cups, yesterday south africa won their 4th world cup beating the all blacks and becoming the dominant rugby team being the only one to hold 4 titles and one of 2 to win back to back with the only other team to do so being the all blacks
I'd say the people of the Congo are the most fearsome warriors
Oh 1917?! My grandfather(Father's Father) was born in that year!!
Michiel de Ruyter is the greatest warrior from his time!
In the west the zulu's are mostly known for kicking some english butt. Butt...those battles was probably won because of underestimation and stupidity on the british part. Zulu's who met equally armed forces were good. Really good. But we don't hear that in schools in europe....because africa don't count there.
Gotta throw the japanese in there considering it was in the 1900s. If there is one soldier i wouldnt want to go against its a imperial japanese soldier.
I bet you coulple hundred years from now historians will be talking about ancient Americans soldiers in this fashion we have been pretty dominant.
Most Fearsome Warriors in History: Drunk, scottish, football fans!
funny you spoke about all blacks being the most successful Rugby team because yesterday it was a Rugby World Cup final and it was a match between South Africa vs New Zealand and South Africa won making South Africa the most successful team with 4 Rugby World Cups followed by New Zealand with 3. So no they are not , fun fact I am also a Zulu
He didn't say the All Blacks were the most successful rugby team.
he did go listen again@@caesar-dynastysports
What about these youtubers with child audiences how are children supposed to support their favorite youtubers?
I'm surprised they didn't mention that the Muslims fought against the Roman and Persian Empires and were victorious in all of them, despite the huge difference in numbers, they are my number ONE!
