So CORRECTIONS like usual; - Most of the flags and portraits in this video are entirely fictional; not many photos from that time. - The pronunciation is terrible, I don't have any Mongol friends to help.
during Mongol invasion, the Great Wall of China was under Jin Dynasty territory. Jin Dynasty was Jurchen people, not Han Chinese. Han Chinese built the Great Wall to stop the Northern Barbarians, Jurchen being one of those Northern Barbarian. So Jin Dynasty did not maintain the Great Wall at all.
As a Kansan I agree, it's a very interesting point of history. Especially for me since I live in Lawrence, which was one of the most important cities in bleeding Kansas as well as the site of Quantrills raid.
If I was a writer I would write a time-travel story in which the post-9/11 US Army uses a portal to go back in time to the American Revolution! Imagine if all the lives, manpower, resources, time and money wasted in the 'war of terror' was instead used to help 1775 America! The American Revolution would be over in two days and a million people wouldn't have to die In just a few decades 1775 Earth gets Modern 2020 technology! Slavery is immediately exterminated. Misogyny, Racism, Homophobia and Poverty are vastly reduced Native Americans get a much better fate. Atheism increases on both 1775 Earth and 2001 Earth Napoleon becomes President of 1775 France which itself gets aid from Modern France Communist China takesover Qing China and makes it better. Same thing happens to 1775 Korea and Japan
Fairly good video! It's a tough period to easily summarize, but you did a well enough job for the fast pace. A couple things which slipped out though (aside from pronunciation and flags that you already noted( -Beijing wasn't the capital of the Jin Dynasty. Beijing does sit on the site of the Jin capital (Zhongdu), but wouldn't be called Beijing until the Ming Dynasty -Turko-persian would better describe the Khwarezmian Empire. Turkic speaking peoples and armies ruling a Iranian sedentary population. -The uprising of the Xi Xia had little to do with the defeat at Parwan against Mingburnu. Rather, a long running desire of Xi Xia ministers for independence, couple with the death of the Mongol viceroy in North China, Mukhali, in 1223 led to peace talks with the Jin and rebellion against the Mongols. Likewise, Chinggis Khan final campaign was against the Xi Xia, not the Jin. -the Jin and Mongol war went a bit differently: their 'submission and revolt' (the emperor abandoning Zhongdu for Kaifeng, which looked to Chinggis Khan a breach of their agreement) occurred in 1214/1215, for which the Mongols destroyed Zhongdu. Warfare continued between the two states until the Jin's destruction in 1234. -perhaps a poor phrasing and unintentional in the video, but Jebe and Subutai went as far west as the Kalka River north of the Black Sea, past the Caucasus. -the division of the empire in 1227 is a common anachronism. The sons had territory assigned to them, but they weren't Khanates in the sense of the later Golden Horde, and weren't intended to be independent, but to be governed by the sons and to support their armies. Two of these did happen to form the basis for the later successor Khanates to the Mongol Empire (the Golden Horde and Chagatai Khanate) but weren't in anyway fracturing in 1227. -it's highly debateable if the Mongols brought gunpowder along in the 1230s campaign into Rus' and Europe, and probably wasn't instrumental in taking cities there. -Batu didn't return to Mongolia after Ogedai's death, and their is question if it was actually the impetus for the withdrawal, or just highly coincidental timing (it's been noted that the withdrawal may have begun too soon for news to have travelled across the empire to Batu and Subutai yet). But overall an engaging and enjoyable cinematic, and I look forward to the next one.
Very nice! I was wondering how is it that you know so much, and then checked your name and noticed your whole channel is about Mongols! Will be checking it out!
I love the story of how the Mongols dominated the Khwarazmian Empire, it's just unbelievable. First Kings and Generals taught it, now you Feature History - and thank god for that. Keep up the good work man!
I have to ask, will the LA Riots video ever be uploaded, I was looking forward to that video in particular for quite awhile now. I notice the animations and visuals are alot more cleaner then it was a few years ago so im lovin the progress I just wish there was more of it to go around, looking forward to the more consistent video uploads and wanting more "Featured Fittings".
Imagine if the Mongols didn't stop to go back because the death of a Khan. Europe may have very well been taken over from a civilization starting all the way over on the other side of the continent.
The entire history of the planet would be vastly different. Europe's feudal society would have been absolutely crushed by the Mongol's, and "the dark age" would have had a much different meaning looking back on the destruction that would have been wrought upon large amounts of territory
The Qing were ruled by the Machus. But no one calls it the Manchurian empire. Almost every historian considers it a Chinese empire. So yeah... Khwarezmia was an Iranian empire ruled by a Turkic Dynasty.
Britannic hayyomatt no it wasn’t, the khwarezmian capital wasn’t even in Iran, they khwarezmians rose from Central Asia modern day Uzbekistan (a Turkic nation), and managed to conquer most of Iran after the disintegration of the Turko Persian Seljuk empire
Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Mongol horde approaching in the horizon? Wait, no! ITS A FEATURE HISTORY VIDEO! **Proceeds to be shot by an arrow** Oh... and some mongols, too.
Would be interesting to see Kublai Khan meeting Marco Polo being mentioned, and too bad we didn't get to the Polish repelling them in 1288, nor the Japanese being twice blessed with weather that defeated the Mongol for them. Great video, gave many additions to my "longitudinal history" file!
Goryeo(korea) never surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty(Mongol Empire). It is unequal, but it has only signed a treaty of mutual friendship. The Goryeo and Yan Dynasty were influenced by each other, not unilaterally controlled. King Goryeo had the right to elect the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. War between Goryeo (Korea) and Mongolia 1st invasion: Date: August 1231-March 1232 30,000 Mongolian troops invaded. Goryeo succeeded in defending an important castle and bound half of the soldiers, but the capital was besieged, sending the royal family hostages and signing a peace treaty. 3.2. 2nd invasion Date: August 1232-December 1232 Goryeo moved the palace to the island for war against Mongolia, and Mongolia invaded again. Mongolia could not properly occupy a single castle, and the commander-in-chief was killed in battle and retreated. 3.3. 3rd invasion Date: July 1235-April 1239 When the Geum Dynasty fell in 1234, it attacked Goryeo. Mongolia lost several defeats, devastating Goryeo territory over four years and inflicting enormous damage. Eventually, in the winter of 1238, the Goryeo court proposed Ganghwa to Mongolia, and Mongolia also withdrew in the spring of 1239 on condition of Goryeo Gojong's entrance. But didn't fulfill the promise 3.5. 4th invasion Date: July 1247-March 1248 Due to the short period, there was no significant damage, and the Mongolian emperor died and withdrew. 3.6. 5th invasion Date: July 1253-January 1254 It came down to the central part of the Korean peninsula, but was withdrawn without capturing Chungju, an important adult. 3.7. 6th invasion Date: July 1254-December 1254 The Mongolian army lost all three major siege battles and withdrew. However, the Mongol army plundered severely and captured 200,000 people, causing great damage. 3.8.1. 7th Invasion-Mongolia's Amphibious Operation Date: September 1255-June 1256 The Mongolian army won one battle, but lost six battles and withdrew. 3.8.2. 8th invasion Date: May 1257-October 1257 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 3.8.3. 9th invasion Date: April 1258-March 1259 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 1259 Goryeo Prince meets and discusses with Kublai, and Goryeo and Mongolia conclude a peace agreement, although they are unequal. Mongolia invaded 9 times, but each time they were defeated, they knew it was impossible to conquer Goryeo. Mongolian emperor Kublai made six promises and said he would not interfere with Goryeo. The clothes and hats worn on the head do not need to be changed according to the customs of Goryeo Envoys are banned from anything other than those sent by the Yuan court. Return to the capital can be adjusted in time at Goryeojeong. The troops withdrew in the fall. All of the Official from Mongolia are withdrawn. Those who volunteered to stay in Mongolia are investigated and returned. After the discussion, Prince Goryeo asked Kublai to become son-in-law. Afterwards, the kings of Goryeo became son-in-law of Kublai and his descendants and had the right to elect the emperor. The Mongolian emperor was able to replace the son-in-law, King Goryeo, but due to Kublai's promise, he could not interfere with anything in Goryeo. Mongolia could not occupy Goryeo and only signed a peace treaty. The Mongol emperor was able to replace the king of Goryeo, but he could not easily replace the king of Goryeo, an important member of the imperial family.
Thanks, it’s interesting. Well primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names ‘Mongol’ and ‘Tatar’ (‘Tartar’) in the medieval Eurasia: According to information from ancient and medieval sources, translated by the academician-orientalist V. P. Vasiliev (19th century), 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 …’ , and ‘…Chinghiz Khan and his own people did not speak the language, which we now call the ‘Mongolian’…’ So the medieval Tatars - the own people of Chingiz Khan - were a Turkic people, they are the Ancestors of many modern Turkic peoples. This is confirmed by many little known facts. About all of this and much more from the hidden common history of the Tatars and other kindred Turkic peoples of Eurasia reasonably and argumentatively is written by the independent historian G. R. Yenikey. Here the book by G. R. Yenikey ‘Forgotten heritage of the Tatars’: payhip.com/b/Xujb On the cover of this book you can see the true appearance of Chingiz Khan. It is his lifetime portrait, which is very little known. Notes to the portrait from this book: ‘...In the ancient Tatar historical source «About the clan of Chingiz -Khan» the author gives the words of the mother of Genghis-Khan: ‘My son Chingiz looks like this: he has a golden bushy beard, he wears a white fur coat and goes 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 story. 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 Chingiz -Khan...’.
the narrating, the music, the art style, the research, is above and beyond anything I've seen from even paid professionals!! this is one of my favorite youtube videos ever and amazingly I can say it without hesitation or thought I hope you keep this channel going forever!
*Ukrainian Kingdom of Rus (1253-1349) was not occupied by Golden Horde. Kyiv was in Kingdom of Rus. And the modern Ugro--finnic Russia is a true descendant of Golden Horde. Moscow was created in period of 1259-1272 by Mongol Khan Mengu-Timur. Moscovia as an ulus (part of Golden Horde) was created by the same Khan in 1277. All these facts are based on the real historical facts. The modern Ugro-finnic Russia falsified its history.*
Discussing Mongol conquests without the destruction of peoples and cultures is like discussing european colonial conquests without slavery and exploitation. Other entertaining aspects were also skipped through, like the politics and battles, .. kind of odd as your other videos have detailed historic naratives rather than this cliffnote style.
Just noticed the #anachronism that is how the #aralsea is illustrated in this video. Man I am old to have been born when the Aral Sea was still a proper sea
If Ogotai Khan didn’t die, Europe was over. Europes Strongest of the strongest knights templar, Crusaders were crushed to dust, under general Subutai and then Ogotai died
Never understand why they wanted so much land. A population of maybe a few million mongols. And the empire was so large that it was so hard to protect.
Actual history: Kievan Rus, modern day Ukraine (because, you know, Kyiv is starting point for Rus and capital of Ukraine, while first Russia related man is Alexander Nevsky - vassal (tax collector) of Golden Horde) y0uTuBe hIsT0Ry: 11:29 Kievan Rus, mOdErN dAy rUsSiA (west of Berlin is USA, east of Berlin is Russia, right guys?)
This video shows how little we really know about Genghis: I have read two non fiction books about him and each one and this video all give entirely different accounts of his life
"Khan spat on the ground and rode away on his horse." That's how I react when my neighbors ask me to turn down the volume when I'm listening to Blue Oyster Cult at 2 in the morning.
Not exactly. Zurgadai shot him in vein. But unbelievably Temujin survived and the enemy was pertified by that. A sign from above that he is not a random human and opted to surrender. Later when Temujin knew who shot him,he did not revenge but offered his hand and forgive him.Zurgadai,in tears, swore to be his horse and dog for rest of his life. And he got a new name from Temujin as Zebe.It means arrow head in Mongolian.Zebe kept his promise until his death.
@Abu Troll al cockroachistan Jebe was a skilled shooter and no one escaped his death shots like Temujin. Imagine a shot in neck vein.Next morning Temujin was on his horse back as if nothing happened and the crowd went crazy. The SIGN from the HEAVEN as indicated by shaman at Temujin's birth.
Check Extra History Genghis Khan video for his personal story animated: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3cVTVF6ioaY.html Their video aren't just facts, it's more like a live of a person.
It was Mongol women (queens) fault on raising their children and dictating them to become the great leader of Mongols. That is how Mongols fought against each other.
Por favor, traducirlo Al Castellano Please, translate it into Spanish...we are writing a book on the matter and we need sources, you can help a lot, Thanx
HAHHAHA! His first wive's name was "Börte"?? and she was kidnapped??? Börte sounds almost like my swedish dialect's way of saying "borta", wich means "gone"! Hahahaha x'D
So im mongolian and my grandpa is historian and he’s making book of history befote genghis khan was there . Genghis khan introduced mongolians to script and so they started making books like ‘nuuts tovchoo’ and it was first book by mongols so to know history before genghis khan he had to search through russian and chinese books and go explore some places with my dad . China is quite important to the unknown history of mongolia because they had script way before and we cant just trust those books immediatly and he has been working on his book for decades and since i can remember...
@@enderman_666 among all territories that make modern Russia only around 5% were a part of Kievan Rus. All other parts were, like you said, in modern Belarus and Ukraine. Which would be the correct way to describe it.
@@grimwaltzman In Russia: Yaroslavl, Rostov, Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Izborsk, Belozersk, Smolensk, Polotsk, Murom, Ladoga. In Belarus: Brest, Tours, Minsk. In Ukraine: Vladimir-Volyn, Chernigov, Kiev, Pereyaslavl, Galich, Lyubech, Hand, Belgorod. These are the cities that were part of Rus. So in Russia 11 cities, in Belarus 3 cities, in Ukraine 8 cities. It is not good to lie.
Gosh this video is like SO inaccurate. For a better idea of what mongol life was like (with completely accurate pronunciations) I recommend the 1956 documentary titled “The Conquerer”.
Some of those maps are based off the geographic range of the tribes as described in contemporary sources, but should not be taken as set in stone, and were probably not so distinctly delineated to the people at the time.
Temujin's pronounciation is correct. His father's is not, Yesugei is pronounced more like Yusugei. The "yu" is more like you in English. You seem to not know what ö sounds like. Its not like "o". It's more like the first part of the "oh" sound. It's used very commonly in German, you should look it up. So Börte's pronounciation is incorrect. 2:24 From what I know, Temujin and Börte were already promised to each other at the age of 9 and 10 respectively. Yesugei left Temujin at Börte's home and left for home. On his way, he crashed on a rival clan's wedding and that's how he got poisoned. Temujin left for home and tried to grab power for himself, to no avail. He later got captured by Yesugei's former subordinate and was enslaved and humiliated. He barely managed to escape after a few years. There is a difference in Khan and Khaan to my knowledge. Khan is more like a duke, lord and stuff; whereas a Khaan is an actual king. And also the K is not that hard sounding, it's mostly the "H" sound.
The mongols actually didn't do that well against European fortifications they got their asses handed to them on the second attempt at conquering Hungary
You're kidding yourself like some Europeans who don't want to accept the truth. The second attempt was by some weak unknown general with few soldiers. It was more like a defense than an invasion. If Batu and Subutai didn't return to Mongolia because of the death of Ogedai Khan, everyone knows Western Europe would've fell to the Mongols. All smart and good historians know this.
@@Righteous1ist And you are wanking the Mongols western Europe would not have fallen because the steppe ended at Hungary the Mongols would lose their main advantage in mobility because there is no way multiple remounts could survive in the heavily forested terrain of Western Europe during that era.
As i said before European fortifications were far more sophisticated than anything in the east the Mongols were far less effective in their second attempt on Hungary and during their first attempt they were unable to do anything to Bohemia because it had a lot of castles.
