During ww2 Japan strapped firebombs to bats and balloons then released them as close to California they could get... A few (nothing major to call it a success) casualties. (That being said we -Americans- did something similar but being japanese, their buildings made of paper and tinder went up so quickly with a great hunger for more.)
I talked with my own girlfriend after this, what she would do for me if I was torn apart by treelimbs. She said she would invite my murderers and fuck them each before setting them on fire alive. I love my sweetheart
Fun fact: Queen Olga (number 2 in the list), just because she converted the -few- survivors of her kingdom to Christianity, is now A SAINT for the Orthodox Church.
Speaking of revenge the 226 likes reminds me of the sig sauer p226 mk25 9mm semi auto pistol. Military versions of that is the m17 and the m18. Pun Intended.
Olga will forever be my pillar to grasp when feeling hopeless or overwhelmed with what I will consider daunting. How have I never heard of such a non wavering person so deep with historic relevance? What calculated actions she took in what can only be heralded as a time of tragedy meant for sorrow is beyond any normal persons realm of thought. I tip my hat to you, St. Olga!
and the best revenge I've come up with was pissing in my stolen work gloves every day at least once and watch the slow roll of the co skipper/glove thief on fishing boat vigorously washing his hands hands with an escalating amount and time spent doing so till the fool finally figured out the gloves were the source on day 5. Yeah suck it Terry! F/V Wild Mary circa 2001 Kinda the same....right??

By the way it is not Khan...it is Khaan which means King. We don’t know why Islamic people has many names and last names sounded Khan, it has nothing to do with Mongol word King. People confused. Or maybe Islamic people feared from Chinggis Khaan and gave their children his name so, bad luck away from the children when devil hear Khaan’s name. Some Mongolia tribes did use his name for this simple reason.
i guess two sides of the story are always going to be conflicting. according to the Carthaginians t'was the romans who broke treaties and dishonored promises.
Paulo H the romans did lol rome crossed into syracuse(greek colony), the treaty stated rome could not move into sicicily with a force big enough to attack...well rome invaded. they also broke many trade laws. rome never denied it but blamed carthage as the aggressor making it justifibke to the ppls eyes. that being said fuck carthage, the phonencians were baby killers.
Lol, I like how the revenge on the Drevlians were severely overkill. It was probably a smallish group of them who met with her husband when the trading thing went wrong and they killed him. So she basically killed their entire people (tons of innocents) because just a handful of them killed her husband.
In hindsight, the Drevlians were like dumbasses for blindly believing in her "guest ceremonies" after her husband's death. Same thing goes to Khwarezmian empire too. The difference is Drevlians could have avoided their ill fate but nothing can be done to avoid Genghis Khan's revenge. NOTHING!
@@tval00 Keep saying that til one day, you'll be caught up in someone else's blind wrath. What if someone shot you because someone of your race or ethnicity had harmed them in the past? You people are idiots.
I am surprised that they have not already made a movie out of "The Lioness of Brittany". It is perfect movie material. Not only was she a strong woman, successful in her massive revenge campaign, but she also found love at the end and had a happy ending, if you could call it that. That kind of outcome doesn't usually happen in real history. Its usually the kind of thing you only see in movies, which makes it perfect for a movie.
The Mongol horse archers were an incredible force. It would have been so intense for the armies that first encountered them, and found themselves unable to close with them, as row upon row of their army fell.

And the 20.000 ottoman sypmatisers he impaled along the way to his city to scare of the Ottoman army would count as well I asume. Amd the nightraid. That dude really hated the Ottomans.
personally I was most impressed by #2. Maybe it can't compete with #1 on scale, but ingenuity and efficient brutality is impressive. The morale of each story is that when in power act like fools it's the many who suffer.
jeez these people had all forms of torture and down to an "art" ' just killing wasn't enough - they wanted to scare the holy crap out of anyone left alive.
Haole how do they give up? they have been fighting for decades? hell Osama bin Laden claimed one of the reasons for 9/11 was America 50 plus year support of Isreal.
He in fact was playing an act. this is backed up because he never “left his wife”. His wife knew of his and the other 46 ronins plan, but he couldn’t stand for her and his children to see him the way he was. She supported him but left with the children willingly because she agreed the children did not need to remember their father as a drunk. All 47 ronin were buried together and are remembered as warriors for carrying out their samurai duty of avenging their master.
Great content man. Actual research was put in, actual work! You deserve that 1mil sub plaque. soon brother! Best of luck and health to you from Canada!
Vlad Dracula's revenge against the boyars (nobles) who betrayed and murdered his father & older brother, as well as against those who opposed his claim to the Wallachian throne, was pretty brutal. IIRC he feigned forgiveness, invited a hundred or so to dinner, then had them all impaled and / or burned alive. Hell, pretty much anyone who crossed the guy suffered a brutal, painful death.
i'm so happy i found this channel! after watching so many list channels its hard to find one i like, where content is good, interesting & the voice of the presenter doesn't make me want to click away. i'm only new here, but i love your channel & its content! keep up the amazing work! 😁
I had one game in Civilization 4 I was trying to expand but most of my Empire was inside the mountains bus there only two ways in to get at my main Empire cities I was trying to expand because my Empire was relatively small to the west but the Mongols demanded at the secret of gunpowder I told them no Genghis Khan declared war on me I didn't have any armies cuz I had all my cities busy making wonders to the point where they were practically at the gates at the main Capital District which had eight cities. I declared peace with Kangaskhan and gave him what he wanted but I told myself I will get Revenge. I started a mass Army build up then invaded Japan to the north to bolster my Army. Then invaded Genghis Khan I defeated them and had most of North Africa under my control. Then I bit more than I could chew by invading India India counter attacked and destroyed 70% of my Invasion Force. Had no choice but to fall back to the Border it was a great game it was the first game I ever played where I was actually a Powerhouse. I was new civilization I was learning how to play it
Much simpler, those who wronged you meant war. Loyalty was earned and brutality served as reminders. Empires expanded, trade was rife and knowledge was shared for the first time in history. Due to this, gunpowder was introduced into Europe. I could even argue that this the moment that the huge power vacuum in Asia is what allowed Europe to start becoming a global superpower.
For me (spoilers ahead) #5 47 Ronin #4 The Lioness of Britanny #3 Mossad Retaliation of Olympics massacre #2 Saint Olga of Kyviv #1 Khwarezmian Nightfall
Those 47 Ronin who avenged their master at the cost of their own lives have my heart forever. I need a squad like that. Now that's loyalty you can't buy. That's what honor looks like. They couldn't live dishonored because it was like death to them, so they said fuck it and avenged their master. All because some asshole wanted a bigger bribe. They did nothing wrong in my eyes. They should make a movie to commemorate them.
Could’ve included the story of Chao Ma, one of the five from “Three Kingdoms” warring period in ancient China. He was the young commander of a province in Northwest China, and was one day presented with the heads of his father and two brothers who were killed by the top warlord Cao Cao. He dedicated his life to revenge and led 200,000 men on continuous battles against Cao Cao and defeated him many times. Or the Bulgarian Orthodox king Kaloyan, who responded after the Catholic Latin forces of Baldwin 1 conquered Constantinople and burned 2/3rds of it - the Latin’s committed many atrocities during this period according to sources after their community was itself massacres by Greeks in the decades before - but this didn’t have much to do with the Bulgarian Kaloyan who battled Baldwin’s overconfident forces at the Battle of Adrianople in 1205, wiping them out and bringing an end to the Latin Empire. Legend has it he turned Baldwin’s skull into a drinking cup after lining it with silver, because Baldwin made a pass at Kaloyan’s wife while he was in captivity.
The greatest act of revenge was when Arya Stark daughter of Ned Stark of Winterfell, fled to Davos to train to be an assassin of the faceless men. After many hardships she returned to Westeros where she killed Walder Frey's sons, cut them up and stuffed into a meat pie. She then disguised herself and fed Walder his sons before slitting his throat. Taking Walder Frey's identity she invited all the Frey men to a banquet where she poisoned the wine. At the toast, she praised the "brave men" for killing her pregnant sister-in-law, her brother and her mother, reminding them of their horrific deeds as they drank the wine. One by one the men of house Frey fell ill vomiting blood on the floor and on themselves, convulsing in fits as the poison took effect. She then reminded them that they should have killed all the Starks from root to stem. As the last Frey fell. She removed her Walder mask, turned to the girl and told her, to tell everyone who asked what happened that she should tell them, "the north remembers", "tell them winter has come for House Frey"
The 47 Ronin story... "You guys uh... make preparations. Ya know hide out, get some weapons and stuff. Meanwhile, I'll 'pretend' to be a drunkard and frequent brothels." 🤣
9:55 "Usually by personally beheading them with an axe" Even back then ships' crews where 12-24 men so I kind of doubt that they''d take the time to behead them all, let alone that she did it all herself, one by bloody one... her own crew would get bored of that *very* quickly. Besides which; we barely have evidence that she existed, let alone what went on on those ships...
There is numerous evidence suggesting she existed. Ubisoft Immortalised her in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag for the love of God and if you doubt someone Can and Will Personally Behead 34 men in an Act fueled by Revenge and Retribution then you sadly underestimate the Human Race.
Boudicca was flogged, and her daughters raped. Her revenge was killing 80,000 Romans. The ashes from her sacking and burning Londinium are still found in digs. For a society as patriarchal as imperial Rome, the fact that a woman had succeeded in killing so many Romans was disconcerting, to say the least.“Two cities were sacked, eighty thousand of the Romans and of their allies perished, and the island was lost to Rome." www.livescience.com/37061-boudicca.html
Desna Chillidyn There's a mini series on Netflix called "Warrior Women" with Lucy Lawless that told the story of Buddicca, as well as Joan of Arc, the story 'Mulan' might have been based off of, Grace O'Mally, and Apache Native American Lozen. Great mini series.

The revenge of Vlad III Draculea on the noble Boyards who killed his father and brother was something... interesting. To say the least.
And the 20.000 ottoman sypmatisers he impaled along the way to his city to scare of the Ottoman army would count as well I asume. Amd the nightraid. That dude really hated the Ottomans.
Quite in line with the way they had killed his Father and Brother Mircea.
Agreed, Vlad and the forest of impaled people. That was impressive.
Very well done! As a historian you have done a great service by doing these videos.
13:04 "... and was shot to death twelve times in an ambush ..."
Wow, that guy had more lives than a cat!
The Shah should have known better! You never want to suffer .... The Wrath Of Khan...!
This particular shah from Kharazm dynasty could be the most incompetent shah of Iran of course if we exclude Qajar dynasty
KHAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!!
catyear75 yep
Great story of loyalty by the 47. Respect.
Fun Fact: Olga is also a saint... Saint of Revenge.
Damn I need a woman with this kinda loyalty...
I feel that
Bruh it’s like if you where a gang leader and then another gang leader killed ya but your bae kills off the gang leader and his gang and his family 😂
But she remarried to your once captors/enemy.
Just don’t piss her off.
Yeah
Vlad the Impaler. A hero ahead of his time.
For some nutty reason I get the impression that the men he impaled didn't regard him as a hero.
@@mariakelly5 A hero for one is villain for another. That's how it normally works.
personally I was most impressed by #2.
Maybe it can't compete with #1 on scale, but ingenuity and efficient brutality is impressive. The morale of each story is that when in power act like fools it's the many who suffer.
kind of like our retarded presidents these days

That'd be perfect for my mother in law...

jeez these people had all forms of torture and down to an "art" '
just killing wasn't enough - they wanted to scare the holy crap out of anyone left alive.
Well the Dothraki were basically just the mongols so makes sense.
Im Palestinian, but I wish the violence would just end. We have lost our wars. Lets Israel have their state while we still have ours
Dwarf Of Erebor you have yours, in Jordan.
Haole how do they give up? they have been fighting for decades? hell Osama bin Laden claimed one of the reasons for 9/11 was America 50 plus year support of Isreal.

Dwarf Of Erebor
Stop being weak
"He even left his wife, became a drunk, and pretended to swear off revenge" lmao yeah I'm sure he was really just playing an act the whole time lol
He in fact was playing an act. this is backed up because he never “left his wife”. His wife knew of his and the other 46 ronins plan, but he couldn’t stand for her and his children to see him the way he was. She supported him but left with the children willingly because she agreed the children did not need to remember their father as a drunk. All 47 ronin were buried together and are remembered as warriors for carrying out their samurai duty of avenging their master.
Izuku Midoriya wow, thanks for adding this. I didn’t know!

Piet Andersen thats exacly what i was fuckin thinking, but they changed it to the knight killing the leader instead
Or... 47 Ronin.
Piet Andersen i can hear the music that turtle is dancing too lol New Super Mario Bros! 😆
Draxus lmao😂
So basically... History is Game Of Thrones?
errr.... yeah? What do you think it's based on?
Yeah people were very brutal back then...imagine killing people with swords and spears, battlefields back then were pretty gorish.
Chemical weapons and airstrikes are so much nicer. It's wonderful to be civilized.
Other way around.
Just nuke em from orbit
The Drevlyans didn't seem too smart. I mean, after the 2nd double cross they should have at least expected something
exactly.... this seems weird
Great content man. Actual research was put in, actual work! You deserve that 1mil sub plaque.
soon brother! Best of luck and health to you from Canada!
I live out in Japan in Osaka! Well done video, I really hope to make it out to Tokyo to see those Ronin's graves, that's pretty awesome!
Yukendoit You guys didn’t get invaded by the Mongolians 👏🏼 props to the samurais and the weather.
If it wasn’t USA the war could have kept going for another 10 years ,Japan were still strong
21:56
You missed the perfect opportunity to say, "Wrath of Khan"
I am glad he steered cleared of the obvious by saying mongols
Samurai Culture is fascinating
Excellent, Dead by melted silver ! The great Kan at his best and strong leadership
Yeah ole Khan definitely brings meaning to the word revenge !!
Number 5 was deep...wow
such loyalty and respect *Clap* *Clap*
Some king killed my husband! *Proceed to kill hundreds of men who had nothing to do with it.* I hate nobles.
Ninja-Turtle Man women.
Who are all loyal men to the king
LMAO 😂 does your butt hurt Ninja Turtle? That's a noble name right there, are you going to cry?
Don't worry, many of the frog nobles got wiped out when they pushed the people too far.
It’s a way of life
The great heathen army nearly conquered all of England because the king of Northumbria captured and killed their father.
No I don't think so
ingaman That's a legend... The existence of Ragnar isn't certain
go back to your NA "history" channel
It’s unfortunately not true
you watch too much History Channel. Do not mistake your hours of watching documentaries and TV shows as being educated in the subject.
Just immagine how well loved the master of those Ronin must have been for them to do that. What a story dayum
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
- Ancient Klingon Proverb
That's more likely lifted from "Les Liason Dangereuses"......?!
great video man :)
I agree. Mongol invasion of Persia was the worst. A Remembrance Day should be dedicated to that genocide.
They should have known better! You never want to suffer .... The Wrath Of Khan..
But yet, as you can see humans commenting here cosroe, they admire such filthy creatures and make them heroes.
@@abyp1883 calm down there, edgelord
Never execute envoys then, blame Shah Mohammed for it
Holy shit, the 47 Ronin story is amazing!
Vlad Dracula's revenge against the boyars (nobles) who betrayed and murdered his father & older brother, as well as against those who opposed his claim to the Wallachian throne, was pretty brutal. IIRC he feigned forgiveness, invited a hundred or so to dinner, then had them all impaled and / or burned alive. Hell, pretty much anyone who crossed the guy suffered a brutal, painful death.
lol omg those obituaries and flowers are badass. Nicely done Mossad, nicely done.
i'm so happy i found this channel! after watching so many list channels its hard to find one i like, where content is good, interesting & the voice of the presenter doesn't make me want to click away. i'm only new here, but i love your channel & its content!
keep up the amazing work! 😁
This is why I play civ 5 ... the hord of the mongol empire is a wave of death for those who go against it
Gandhi will always beat them since he has nukes turn 1
nothing more op than mongol horse archers
I had one game in Civilization 4 I was trying to expand but most of my Empire was inside the mountains bus there only two ways in to get at my main Empire cities I was trying to expand because my Empire was relatively small to the west but the Mongols demanded at the secret of gunpowder I told them no Genghis Khan declared war on me I didn't have any armies cuz I had all my cities busy making wonders to the point where they were practically at the gates at the main Capital District which had eight cities. I declared peace with Kangaskhan and gave him what he wanted but I told myself I will get Revenge. I started a mass Army build up then invaded Japan to the north to bolster my Army. Then invaded Genghis Khan I defeated them and had most of North Africa under my control. Then I bit more than I could chew by invading India India counter attacked and destroyed 70% of my Invasion Force. Had no choice but to fall back to the Border it was a great game it was the first game I ever played where I was actually a Powerhouse. I was new civilization I was learning how to play it
1300's were simpler times...
What?
Please write that you are being sarcastic.
Much simpler, those who wronged you meant war. Loyalty was earned and brutality served as reminders. Empires expanded, trade was rife and knowledge was shared for the first time in history. Due to this, gunpowder was introduced into Europe. I could even argue that this the moment that the huge power vacuum in Asia is what allowed Europe to start becoming a global superpower.
“Meat shields”..........love it!
awesum history lesson. thumbs up dude.
Well, I guess you don't mess with the Mongols...
Never mess with us Mongolians
We will make the mongol empire again to kill you

Those 47 Ronin who avenged their master at the cost of their own lives have my heart forever. I need a squad like that. Now that's loyalty you can't buy. That's what honor looks like. They couldn't live dishonored because it was like death to them, so they said fuck it and avenged their master. All because some asshole wanted a bigger bribe. They did nothing wrong in my eyes. They should make a movie to commemorate them.
Could’ve included the story of Chao Ma, one of the five from “Three Kingdoms” warring period in ancient China. He was the young commander of a province in Northwest China, and was one day presented with the heads of his father and two brothers who were killed by the top warlord Cao Cao. He dedicated his life to revenge and led 200,000 men on continuous battles against Cao Cao and defeated him many times.
Or the Bulgarian Orthodox king Kaloyan, who responded after the Catholic Latin forces of Baldwin 1 conquered Constantinople and burned 2/3rds of it - the Latin’s committed many atrocities during this period according to sources after their community was itself massacres by Greeks in the decades before - but this didn’t have much to do with the Bulgarian Kaloyan who battled Baldwin’s overconfident forces at the Battle of Adrianople in 1205, wiping them out and bringing an end to the Latin Empire. Legend has it he turned Baldwin’s skull into a drinking cup after lining it with silver, because Baldwin made a pass at Kaloyan’s wife while he was in captivity.
This was great and I love the art that you used!! Boudicca leveling Londinium in a future one?
Great and brutal video!

I've actually been to the shrine of the shrine of the 47 samurai, Sengaku-ji.
What was it like?
The greatest act of revenge was when Arya Stark daughter of Ned Stark of Winterfell, fled to Davos to train to be an assassin of the faceless men. After many hardships she returned to Westeros where she killed Walder Frey's sons, cut them up and stuffed into a meat pie. She then disguised herself and fed Walder his sons before slitting his throat. Taking Walder Frey's identity she invited all the Frey men to a banquet where she poisoned the wine. At the toast, she praised the "brave men" for killing her pregnant sister-in-law, her brother and her mother, reminding them of their horrific deeds as they drank the wine. One by one the men of house Frey fell ill vomiting blood on the floor and on themselves, convulsing in fits as the poison took effect. She then reminded them that they should have killed all the Starks from root to stem. As the last Frey fell. She removed her Walder mask, turned to the girl and told her, to tell everyone who asked what happened that she should tell them, "the north remembers", "tell them winter has come for House Frey"
Spoilers?
GAME OF THRONES IS CANCEROUS AND AN INSULT TO THE FANTASY GENRE

I have seen a few of these lists of revenge and yours Sir is the best. The vengeance Level of the Mongols is Legendary
9:55 "Usually by personally beheading them with an axe"
Even back then ships' crews where 12-24 men so I kind of doubt that they''d take the time to behead them all, let alone that she did it all herself, one by bloody one... her own crew would get bored of that *very* quickly.
Besides which; we barely have evidence that she existed, let alone what went on on those ships...
vinny142 whatever
There is numerous evidence suggesting she existed. Ubisoft Immortalised her in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag for the love of God and if you doubt someone Can and Will Personally Behead 34 men in an Act fueled by Revenge and Retribution then you sadly underestimate the Human Race.
Your channel liked shared and subscribed... Beautifully narrated too...
Excelent work on all your videos. Thank you
Amazing channel. I'm now a happy subscriber. :) This is so damn amazingly interesting.
Boudicca was flogged, and her daughters raped. Her revenge was killing 80,000 Romans. The ashes from her sacking and burning Londinium are still found in digs.
For a society as patriarchal as imperial Rome, the fact that a woman
had succeeded in killing so many Romans was disconcerting, to say the
least.“Two cities were sacked, eighty thousand of the Romans and of their allies perished, and the island was lost to Rome." www.livescience.com/37061-boudicca.html
Desna Chillidyn There's a mini series on Netflix called "Warrior Women" with Lucy Lawless that told the story of Buddicca, as well as Joan of Arc, the story 'Mulan' might have been based off of, Grace O'Mally, and Apache Native American Lozen. Great mini series.
