The nomadic tribes of the Asian steppes spent centuries entangled in their own petty feuds until united under Genghis Khan. Within years, a highly disciplined army purs out of Mongolia to embark on a campaign of world conquest. But how can a tribe of horse archers possibly overcome the military might of Persian and Easern Europe, let alone the technologically advanced empires in China... without killing even a single enemy unit?

@@brendanhart517 The Mongol Empire brought political unity and stability to the Silk Road region, making cross-continental trade safer and easier. As a result, when the Black Plague developed somewhere in Central or East Asia, it was easily transmitted along the Silk Road in a relatively short span of time.

@patrickovsiu 3 года назад

Geographically the editors effectively placed the Tangut / Hsi Hsia as the Jin, the Songs as Hsi Hsia (or Dali), while the Jin was actually the Song because of the river. The Jin also conquered the Song almost a century before being treated similarly by the Mongols

@ScottyShaw 3 года назад

@@patrickovsiu No, the geography of the map is largely correct. The Great Wall runs east-west, so the thick river you cross to attack the Jin is actually the north-south stretch of the Yellow River, which turns eastward when it intersects with the Wei River, represented by the thin river separating the Song from the Hsi Hsia and the Tanguts. This puts the Jin to the east in the Shanxi/Hebei area, the Hsi Hsia to the west in northern Shaanxi, the Tanguts to the west in the Ningxia area, and the Song to the south in southern Shaanxi. EDIT: The Jin didn't conquer the Song, just the northern half in 1125. The Song Dynasty continued on for another 152 years, lasting until Kublai Khan's final victory in 1279. The Jin Dynasty fell to Ogedei Khan's forces in 1234.

@patrickovsiu 3 года назад

@@ScottyShaw Still that means the Yangtze was omitted which was a significant inaccuracy. On a side note, the Yuan believed itself taking the Mandate of Heaven from Jin instead of Song. Many also see the Song between 1127 and 1234 a vassal of Jin. So it could be argued that the Jin conquered the Song, just that it did not annihilate the state like the Yuan did.
