Hannibal not pillaging Fabius' property but everyone else's is the most baller psychological move.

Hannibal is the personification of "But wait! There's more!"

Honestly speaking this is a gem.. Sad we are paying Netflix to watch fake documentaries and watching this incredible video without giving him credit

Hannibal: Defeats several armies, kills Consul and wipes out several legions Rome: Ok, see you next year.

Literally all of Hannibals great battles: "their army walked right into Hannibal's trap"

The Fabian Strategy: "Can't lose if you don't fight."

"Hannibal? Yeah. He brought elephants through the Alps." But now, your efforts made me realize how exactly Hannibal is respected just as Napoleon and Alexander. Thank you for this!

I am speechless with the series, felt like it all is happening in front of me, you guys are perfect story teller, keep it up.

"If someone is angry because you invaded their territory, invade their territory more. What they gonna do? Tell their mommy?" - Flaminius, Darius, IIIc. B.C.

Fabius catches a lot of heat from people even now, but he really did keep Rome in the fight and the move to keep Minucius as his second was a good one.

"Don't spank me daddy :(" - Marcus Manius Rufus, 217 BC

When you get to Cannae, you MUST begin by saying: " Ah, yes. You've all been waiting for this, haven't you ?! "

If only Hannibal got the support that was required. Great content, love the documentary!

I like how when Minucius admitted to Fabius he was wrong about being aggressive, Fabius accepts that he learned his lesson and let him back into his general staff

Wow I never really knew much about Hannibal but he's right up there with Alexander in my book. He was a master at improvising on the fly using the terrain to his advantage. Guy was a beast on the battlefield.

Honestly Hannibal is my favorite general to ever exist. I am glad to see him get the recognizatuon he deserves

The buildup kills... literally.

Can’t believe channels like this one, invicta and kings and generals are free

28:00 ish Another reason why Hannibal may not have seiged Rome is because his own food stock was limited, and he relied on foraging, so a several months siege would have essentially been a double edged sword, when his own army was forced to be stationary. As you mentioned earlier, Hannibal depended on maneuverability and didn't want to be sandwiched at the gates of Rome, considering he may have been acting on imperfect information regarding the location and size of armies in the area.

Am I the only person who is watching the episodes a second time, right after they watched them all the first time and still enjoying them? Well done!

I feel like the scurvy and mange his troops were sustaining, as outlined in the video when he crossed the mountains for his troops to regain their health and horses, is probably the most likely explanation of why Hannibal didn't immediately besiege Rome.

The Perfect Battle will come soon!

"Hannibal, you know how to win great victories, but you dont know what to do with them" - Maharbal.

If I ever end up getting put in charge of a show, I'm definitely going to make a Hannibal mini-series. It sounds like a gold-mine of drama and spectacle waiting to happen.

When is this movie coming out in the cinemas?

Hannibal and Alexander both have the same thing. both of their fathers (Hamilcar and Phillip) trained and raised an army, both have plans to defeat their enemies (Rome and Persia), but died before it could happen so their children inherited their plans. Alexander crossed the Hellespont even though the Persians is still the master of the sea, while Hannibal crossed the alps, both men defeated their enemies in battle even though they're outnumbered (Cannae and Gaugamela)

Hannibal was just trolling Roman legions he was a fckin master of strategy

this is the greatest history channel on youtube, and this series is an award-deserving treat

what an amazing general. Possibly the best of all time? That ambush was unbelievable.

Of all of Hannibal's battle victories during the 2nd Punic War, Cannae gets all the plaudits, rightfully so I guess. But personally I have always held the Battle of Lake Trasimene in slightly higher regard. That ambush was pure tactical genius. Setting up your army like that at night without leaving any trace, coordinating the attack!!! Pure Genius...bombed I always found this channel now (as i proceed to binge your videos lol)

The quality of this is great. Hannibal needs movies and shows made about his military campaign.

The strategy of Arminius at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9AD) when Arminius funneled the Romans under Varus to march directly by a swamp while Arminius attacked from concealed positions on hills driving the Romans into the bogs is surprisingly akin to that of Hannibal's tactics at Lake Trasimene.

Awesome work. One of history's greatest generals finally gets the series he deserves. A look at his full campaign reveals so much more about Hannibal than just the single battle which too many focus on and then move on to other generals in other wars. I am soooo looking forward to when the other great general of the time enters the story. I hope he gets similar depth despite this being titled Hannibal. No spoilers.

Great video History Marche! Really excited for the Battle of Cannae!

You know . . . .some day this war. . . is going to be over .. . (looks down and sheds a tear) - awesome compilation

love your work HistoryMarche team! you are the best, thanks for giving Hannibal the proper attention!

XD if only history class in school was like this i may have actually passed

Great to see so many Romanian names among your patrons. This channel is absolute quality.

Wow, I just broke my mouse thinking this was Cannae. The cliffhanger is literally killing me.

I've lost track of the number of times I've watched this Playlist.

Please stop teasing and just give me Cannae

The visual and the score is perfect. But wat i like the most is the narration. Such an outstanding ,educating ,high quality channel. Ty sir, ty.

On the season finale... That's the most badass depiction of Hannibal btw, he looks like a hardened, quick witted veteran.

I have been watching parts 1 and 2 intermittently all day, and its so nice to see the progression in rendering, sound, recording, graphics, y'all do a fantastic job of relaying history and giving us a overarching tactical sense of every situation. Thank you.

I truly feel sad for the people that don't know about this channel 😔 Thank you Hm you are one of the treasures of RU-vid !

2nd bait for cannae

legendary is an understatement

Such an incredible story. He ran rings around the Romans, always 5 or 6 steps ahead. All the ambushes and traps and deceptions and psychological games, all executed perfectly.

I am glad I stumbled upon your channel. This channel is heaven for history lovers like me. Please ,in future, keep uploading such compilations of great generals and rulers.

This is a gem of a series, so well produced. I would love to know what software they use to create it. Liked and subscribed!

How come I didn't come across this channel before? I'm speechless with the quality of the production. I love how you're animating night, summer ,and winter sounds on the map. Please do not change the format of your videos.

This channel is in a class of it's own it really is. Second to none. Without equal. If there was ever a channel to support? THIS IS IT! There is none more worthy than this. You make history come alive like no one else. Thank-you HistoryMarche and all the patreons for making this possible.x

2:09 Uesugi audio clip buffled me for a short while, for a sec i thought i opened another window.

I have seen this document several times and this is first time I comment...its just great, nothing more need to say. All your video are grat, but Hannibal rules them all.

No one is gonna talk about the legionary veterans? That legionary vanguard tho, holy shit, manage to survive 2 traps, and escaped while staying in formation. Props to them god damn, does centurions are fine work!

This is amazing. You guys and Kings and Generals are teaching more than school ever could!!!

After seeing the last video, anyone could think that it is the end of Hannibal, but this man, turned into a true god of war, never doubted his abilities. The Romans did not know it yet, but Hannibal is not the one who was surrounded, it was the Romans who were surrounded.

I'm watching this epic saga at 3:30 am and I get to the end and WTF !!! No battle of Cannae ??!! It's like when Lord of the rings kept me hanging for a year. Now I can't sleep wondering when battle of Cannae will put me out of my misery lol. Brilliant story telling,music,suspense etc. This channels got it all.

This is far better than any doc I have seen on TV.

The Person talking is one of the best roman story tellers of all time... great production 👏

I really enjoy all the research you do for your videos. I love the interpreting of what information we have to make a comprehensive, down to earth narrative

Your voice, narration and your channel is breathtaking !!! Keep doing more awesome explanations like this!!

Tunisia - Carthage is considered one of the most important civilizations known in the Mediterranean in the world before the birth of Christ, as were the Greek and Roman civilizations as well as the Pharaonic. The center of this republic - the empire that has prevailed in the Mediterranean for centuries is the city of Carthage, which is located in the north of Tunisia, not far from the Tunisian capital, which was founded after Carthage about fifteen centuries, but the latter was transformed by urban expansion to one of its suburbs. Legend has it that Carthage was founded by the Phoenician princess Alisa as the Tunisians call her or Elissar / Elisa as it was called in the Levant, or Didon as Westerners call her. Alisa or Alissar from the Lebanese city of Tire came fleeing from her brother who killed her husband, and tells that there is a priest who told her that her fate is to establish a city off a mountain that has two horns, so she wandered in the sea until she reached what is today the Gulf of Tunis, where there is the mountain with two horns ( Jabal Buqarnin as it is called today). The princess offered the local people to buy from them a plot of land with an area of ​​a bull's skin, so she had what she wanted, and it was only that she cut the skin of the ox and turned it into a long thin thread and on the area surrounded by this thin thread, and cunningly only mastered by the Phoenician merchant, she got Alisa Or left on a large area on which the city of Carthage was founded, or "Qarat Hadasht", meaning the modern village or the new city. The new Mediterranean metropolis has grown, grown, prospered, and outperformed the rest of the surrounding Phoenician cities in various fields and has become an economic and military power for which a thousand accounts are read. Conflict with the Greeks and the Persians The history books recount that the Carthage army confronted the invaders from Persia who were changing the Phoenician cities and defended relentlessly on the possessions of Tire despite the distance and the short periods of time. Some likened the Carthaginian aid to the city of Tire with the help the United States provided to Britain during World War II as if it were a beautiful response from the modern superpower to the country of origin. The Carthaginians also fought wars against the Greeks to control the centers of influence in the Mediterranean Sea for centuries, and the Roman Empire actually existed on the Mediterranean scene. At some point, the Carthaginians managed to destroy the islands of Crete and Malta, which speaks to this day the Punic Carthage language, despite the insistence of the Greeks to acquire them as they are the keys to controlling the Mediterranean. In the context of the competition for influence in the Mediterranean between Carthage and the countries of the Greeks, the legend tells the story of the two brothers, Vilene Carthaginians, which remained a title of sacrifice and redemption for the sake of the homeland for generations. The Tunisian historian Mohamed Hussein Fintar says this story: «When Carthage decayed the greater part of Africa, it was a Qurain city rivaled by wealth and power. And there were sprawling springs between the two cities, and nothing limits their monotony. There is no river in them and no mountain separating the two countries, which led to a fierce war that lasted for a long time. The armies wrestled overland, wrestled by sea, and the war remained a contest that exhausted the two opponents' forces without success. And when the two cities were afraid of falling prey among the claws of a third party, taking advantage of the weakness of the victor and the vanquished, they benefited from a truce to conclude the following agreement: On a specific day, the two cities appointed two representatives from each of them departing from the borders of the homeland and the meeting point recognized by the two peoples. Carthage appointed the two brothers, Velin, who hastened to proceed very quickly. The course of the Qureans (the Greeks) was slow. Was this a matter of inaction, or was it an unexpected event? we do not know! In those areas, the storm impedes the walking, as it does in the desert as it does in the sea. When the two Koreas realized that they were too late, fearing the accusation of treason and the resulting punishment, the two brothers, Flynn, were accused of leaving their homes before the specified time, and we appealed the outcome of the debate. And when that was so, the Carthaginians requested that other conditions be set to be fair, and the Greeks left for them the choice between wading the two brothers Vellin in the place they wanted to draw the borders of their countries or letting the Qureans advance in the same circumstances to the place they wanted. The brothers, Flynn, sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country. Conflict with Rome Rome became a nascent young empire emerging centuries after Carthage over the Mediterranean and it was incumbent upon the modern emerging power (Rome) to displace the aging empire (Carthage) that took its time and further. Carthage controlled vast lands that stretched over the whole northwestern African coast, all the way to the Strait of Gibraltar, which was called the Strait of Malqarat, after the Carthaginian leader Abd Malqarat Baraka, the father of Hannibal. Carthage also took control of the Iberian Peninsula, where it established many cities, including Cartagena and Barcelona (relative to the Barca family of Carthaginian, from which Hannibal and his father Abd al-Malqrat came from, as well as Sadal al-Adil) and its influence reached southern France. Carthage controlled important Mediterranean islands such as Greek Crete and Malta, as well as Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Palearians. East reached the Libyan Gulf of Sirte, where it signed a border agreement with the Greeks, who were controlling the Egyptian Mediterranean coast and eastern Libya. Although it was at the end of its reign, Carthage fought three major wars against the Romans that lasted for many years and ended with the burning of Carthage at the hands of the Roman commander Sibiun. These epics were known for the emergence of a star of great leaders who gained wide fame, including Abd Melqarat Barka (Amilcar) and his son Hannibal, who crossed the Alps with his elephant and legions of his armies, and besieged Rome for nearly ten years and fought several battles, the most important of which was the famous Battle of Kannai. Scouts people The Carthaginians paid attention, early and before others, to the importance of the African continent. They sailed in the Atlantic Ocean, which the Arabs feared and called it a "sea of ​​darkness" and established their settlements in West Africa along the African coast. Perhaps the most famous expedition is the journey of the traveling ruler Hanoun, which took place around the fifth century B.C. and was recorded and famous, unlike the rest of the trips. The Carthaginians also reached the British Isles across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea, on the outskirts of Scandinavia, in search of tin and all that benefited the empire. These commercial trips were preceded by the famous expedition of Halcalon or the Giant, who opened the door wide to the Carthage merchants to expand their trade circle to include the northern old continent across the sea. He recounts that the Carthaginians also reached the American continent, given what was mentioned in some books of the Greeks that talked about a vast land beyond the ocean that was a source of the wealth of the Carthaginians. Also, Carthage coins were found containing an approximate image of the world map, including a large land area, located directly after the sea, which is supposed to be the Atlantic Ocean.

This is what students really want to learn in history class

Would love to see Hannibal's journey adapted to a high budget series. 1st season should be Hannibal's crossing ending with his schermish with Scipio Sr. Foreshadowing the future confrontation with his son. 2 should be a condensed montage of Hannibal's battles with while delving into his stratagies. That breakout with the cattle would make a great finale. 3 should start with Canea. And the greadual fall while propping up Scipio as the next character. 4 should climax with Hannibal and Scipio at Zama.

Usually with stuff like this I root for the Romans. Idk why, maybe it's just cause I'm familiar with them. But for this, I was rooting for Hannibal, he's definitely my favourite historical general

Man its a crime not to finish this series. Cmon

When that Soundtrack plays in, I already am super chilled, since I'm about to face the epic history of ancient Europe :) Thanks a lot, HistoryMarch. You keep me motivated, through writing the core of my Master thesis for Roman Archaeology.

As a descendant, I am grateful of the ancestral history. Thank you so much!

This is definitely one of the best told stories of this sort posted on RU-vid or any documentary for that matter at this time. As an educator I greatly value these time friendly recreations of historical content. I probably show about 6 per year - for my U.S. History and my World History courses. Some are really outstanding. Please maintain your moral approach to history. Please continue to treat peoples of the past as human beings and not as groups that need to be elevated or praised to make up of perceived disadvantages that may or may not exist today. Social Justice should not shape historical interpretation. History as a field of study must remain sacred if we are to learn anything. Teach what people did; the good, the bad, the ugly, and always the human. Do not try to earn points for groups on some cosmic scoreboard whose goal it is to show that all groups of people are the same. That should not be a goal. The goal is always to tell the truth... politely, if possible. I feel as though you do this and it is much appreciated. Thank you - Secondary Educational Professional

I actually look forward towards history marches videos. I usually save it for a workday to make the day go a thousand percent better than rewatch it at home to see all the small details I missed. History Marche you're doing a amazing job keep it up.

How have I never seen this channel? One of the best historical series I've ever seen, including from main stream outlets

these are so darn good, thank you for making them

Great! love the those 10 part, now to the next half can't wait for Cannae!

I think he didn't go for Rome because he was worried that the Gauls, whose pockets were full of plunder, would start drifting off home rather than wating for weeks or months for the city to fall. He would also have to feed his troops which could have left them as bad off as those in Rome. If he crushed their armies he would gather more support and allies which could then supply him with food, fodder, men, etc when he did go for Rome. Breaks my heart that he failed, even more that it was not his fault but the fault of others in power in Carthage.Great storytelling dude!

I’ve watched this series many times over the past few years. Never get tired of it

Excited for when Cannae comes out🙌

As a great thinker once said "Flank em and spank em" ~ Sun Tzu art of war

41:04 I died laughing when the whole legionnaire muffled in their mind "Wtf" 🤣

These multi-part consolidated versions seem even better than the original individual episodes. 🤯

Best historical RU-vid Channel! Hype for Cannae!

The teasing levels with these compilations are something else. Them subtle zoom ins on a place called Cannae... Wonder what that is. Might as well zoom in on another simillar town called Carrhae for good measure then

Thanks for this series about Hannibal, awesome! ⚔👍 I've read that Hannibals eye infection and loss was due to a mosquito bite wile crossing the swamps. Great accounts of the battles!

11:23 haha that Wilhelm Scream was a perfect choice to stick into that morning battle. 🤣

I need part 10-15 please make it now! you can´t leave me in suspense like this.

I tought it was cannae, HistoryMarche keep pranking us aha Anyways thanks for the great work !

What an amazing story! Thank you for putting this together. ❤

i am from the country of hanabaal and i am just amazed by the amount of detail you put in

He is literally going to post Cannae on the 2nd August I swear xD! Great vids tho!

"Flank 'em and spank 'em." - Hannibal, probably.

I love the regular use of the “Wilhelm scream” sound effect. So Roman!

This makes me want to play Rome Total War every time I watch these videos

Espectacular, muchas cosas se ven mas claras cuando te lo explican con esos exelentes graficos e imagenes interactivos,es como si lo estuvieras viviendo . Los detalles de los movimientos tacticos son exelentes. Aunque se utiliza subtitulos en español , tal vez despues puedan traducirlo

Funny how Everyone is waiting for Cannae!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Thank you guys for all the videos you put out, so entertaining and beautifully made

Hannibal: but wait! There's more! Rome: oh ffs, seriously dude?

can you please tell us the soundtrack that plays at 29:22 , it's so beautiful , also it's a blessing for history lovers like us to have such an amazing channel , I feel ashamed I don't have the means to support it , but I promise as soon I'm able to I will do so

This great military general deserves a movie/series with top actors. He's only second to Alexander in my opinion as the greatest ever commanders!

Hannibal was not only a great general but also a shrewd psychologist. He knew that (given the roman spirit) if he cornered them he would have very heavy casualties among his elite troops which could not be replaced while Rome had more human resources to muster right away. That's the answer to why he did not besieged Rome. Julius Caesar applied same strategy: he would not attempt to assault cornered, terrified troops because he knew that they would fight for their lives while the attacker had other options. Great generals not only considered strategies, tactics and commissariat but also the psychology of the enemy commanders and troops. Magnificent series way better than anything you can see on rubbish tv channels.
