800 years everyone noticed Mongolia.

Jurassic Park style. Love it 😉

That’s honestly my second favorite part about this channel. He hits ya with these zingers..

Also a good one from the end of the episode: "If you want to build high, you have to dig deep".

he just gets them from the books he reads. One time I read one of the books he references and his video was almost word for word what was written in there

The one at the end too “when one wants to build high one must dig deep”

not exactly one line, but for me it's 'Mongolia must play the bear and the dragon against one another, and itermittently pulled the eagle into the mix, just to throw anyone off their game'

Good foreign policy, poor internal development, so goes any country bordering china and Russia

The Khanate was quite good at it actually.

@@delgermuruntsagaankhuu6951 well if you want your country to survive its hard

its actually not that great of a feat. its stable mostly because neither china nor russia will allow the other to control it so neutral and independent it stays, regardless of its own internal politics. just like how thailand stayed independent in the colonial era, not because it was a military superpower or because its political system so incredibly good but because the french and british agreed that it would be a buffer state between their colonies. in fact, mongolia has made mistakes, for example in its "third neighbor" policy, it was fine when it wanted more economic partners and invited SK, Japanese, EU and american companies to bid on its resources and provide economic competition for the chinese and russian companies. It was NOT fine when it started to join exercises with the US/NATO, it got a little too cozy militarily with the west and forgot that it's a landlocked nation between russia and china. They had a couple of exercises for like 2 years and mongolia suddenly found itself with extra "inspections" for its goods going through chinese and russian ports(the only routes for its goods). the transit fees also skyrocketed. mongolia soon learned what the red lines are and that it shouldn't be too involved militarily with its "third neighbors". Its for this reason mongolia can never be a japan or SK, because all it takes for russia and china to keep it inline is to declare the borders closed and mongolia will find itself in a social-economic disaster that no nations can help them without russia/china giving the okay.

In Pakistan they still think the chinggis capital is the current capital of Mongolia (it's only a historical site today) and everyone's last name is Khan ...it's like an American civil war reenactment especially when you find out what a Quran is when it fits into the reenactment paradigm rather than the reenactment fitting into the Quran paradigm

Do you think it's possible that the illegalization of using water to clean stuff during mongol rule was actually enforced? Or that it was only enforced on prisoners, like the way north Korean "laws" are enforced on prisoners only (though we say they're being enforced on the entire population)?

So true, the only international news agency that is easily accessible and does cover some wider topics then what the west is interested in seems Al Jazeera. CNN and even the BBC have a huge western bias, and only cover topics that are geopolitically interesting to the west. It’s a far bigger world out there, and in the west, we see very little of it.

Sound quality of this last video is mediocre.🕵is it a sign of Caspian Crisis between Youtubia 📺and Soundistan📢 😷 ?

And interruptions can make money silent.

The Sounds of Khans are honoured

You're minimizing the gravity kind of. Majority of Mongolians follow Tibetan Buddhism but obviously can't speak in support of their own religious leader nor for the Tibetans. Ethnic Mongolians ("Southern Mongolians") are also increasingly persecuted in China, and Mongolia can't speak out or make any demands about that either. Mongolia is completely economically dependent on Russia and China, much like the Central Asia states. The only positive it has going for it is that it's democratic, but the negative is that they don't even share a land border with neighboring Kazakhstan because Russia/China falls in between obstructing it. Otherwise, it would have given them a land corridor to the rest of Asia. So it's not even a question of independence and prosperity, they're genuinely concerned and pissed off but don't express it publicly. It's a similar public sentiment in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan but the governments in Central Asia are completely captured.

@@realtalk6195 "The only positive it has going for it is that it's democratic" That isnt a positive you tool

@@Testingthisname it is positive tool. i can shit talk about china without getting killed.

Where are you from?

To give you a hint, Genghis Khan's identity in 90% of his life is Chinese ！He was the ruler who founded the Mongol Empire and made it independent from 800 years of Chinese rule ~

In fact, the biggest reason for the rise of the Mongolian people is that China's north and south are in the midst of civil war, and there is no mind to manage the grasslands ！The Mongols conquered the Middle East and Europe with the advanced armor and firearms of the Han people, But back to attack China is very difficult! Until the defeat of mongo, the Mongol empire was destroyed! Kublai Khan took the initiative to sinicize and unite the northern Han warlords to bury the Mongolian Empire and the Southern Song Dynasty ~

@@user-jj6mx3tc1g take your guessing somewhere else, will you? We don't interested listening your propaganda.

@@enkhzayazundui1063 This comes from the real history!

The Mongols as a nation historically never had much staying power. They primarily relied on capturing already-developed nations and taking over the governments. Most of the territories Mongols held were just empty lands and the only worthwhile nations they occupied was China, India and some parts of Middle east but that didn't last long too.

​@@Jake-dh9qk What a crock of shit. Empty lands? The cities of Samarqand and Bukhara were two of the wealthiest cities of the Medieval World. Larger in population than most cities in Europe. The entirety of Central Asia was the nexus of the Silk Road. Filled with cosmopolitan trading centers such as Otrar, Urgench, Merv, Kandahar, Ghazni, Kashkar and Khara Khoto. Such cities saw a convergence of Greek, Bactrian, Soghdian, Persian, Scythian, Turkic, Tibetan, Indian and Chinese culture. This region saw the mingling of a variety of religions from across the world. The Greek Pantheon, Persian Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Nestorian Christianity, Mahayana Buddhism, Sufi Islam, Chinese Confucianism. It was the source of all manner of religious syncretism. Beliefs like Manichaeism emerged from this mixing pot, blending aspects of Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Buddhism. To this date, the Japanese guardian deity, Nio, who is repeatedly shown to be the protector of Buddha in Japanese art and religion, is believed to have been derived from none other than Heracles himself, transmitted from Greece, across the Silk Road to Japan. Moreover, the harsh countryside of the region is exactly what made them so incredibly difficult to conquer. No sedentary army could provide the necessary logistics to support any prolonged campaign through these territories. The Persians, Greeks, Chinese, Arabs and Tibetans all tried. And they all failed. The fact that the Mongols conquered it at all is not something easily done since the apparently powerful nations of Persia and China had tried and failed for centuries. Furthermore, to say that Mongol rule was "temporary" and shortlived demonstrates a profound lack of understanding just how long empires rule. Let me put some things in perspective for you. The Mongol Empire is largely believed to have existed from approximately 1206 to 1368. However, the Golden Horde, which was a part of the Mongol Empire, lasted all the way until 1502. The Chagatai ruled all the way up to 1705 in some form or another. But for the sake of ease, we won't deal with the Chagatai. So we have a range of anywhere from 162 years to 298 years. So that's almost 300 years at its maximum. And again, we're not even counting the Chagatai or the successor states like the Timurids, or the Mughals. For reference, the British Empire, starting from the date of the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 and ending at the conclusion of World War II in 1945, lasted 238 years. 238 to the Mongols' 298. Who's the short lived empire here? Even if we take a more liberal estimate of the British Empire and bump it up to 1970, to account for Britain's post-War holdings, later lost in the Wars of Decolonization, we only get to 263 years. Still less than the time the Mongols were a player on the world stage. And again, this is me being generous, since the British were hardly a major power for the first half of the 18th Century or really after 1940. The Soviet Union only lasted from 1917 to 1991. Not even 100 years. Napoleon's French Empire barely lasted 10 years. Alexander's great Hellenistic Empire fell into infighting immediately after his death. And even the successor Diadochi states were completely conquered by the Romans and Parthians within 300 years of Alexander's death. So approximately the same amount of time as the Mongols. Shall we now say that Alexander was an unsuccessful or ultimately irrelevant general? Even your American Empire has only been around for 245 years and its already starting to show its cracks and decline. 150-300 years is a pretty good range for empires. The Mongols were not shortlived. Their reign was quite average. And quite impactful.

@@Killzoneguy117 Brooo you be working on your replies, better than some people working on their finals exam essay

@@Killzoneguy117 You didnt even read people's comment before writing do you? I never said Mongol never had populated regions. Im talking about geopgraphically, they were empty plains. All those rich regions you were talking about belonged to OTHER nations that Mongols captured, hence my point stating that Mongols captured most of the rich cities. All these trade regions HAPPENED before Mongol empire was even formed. The Mongols just came in a captured them as was their goal of conquest to begin with. There is a reason why they wanted to conquer China and their neigbhors because they had far wealthier cities and regions than the Mongol plains. Mongolians were never starters, only conquerers.That is a simple side-effect of their tribalistic government form. Every region they took over they had to rely on the former government structure to rule to occupied lands. This is why as soon as the Mongol empire collapsed majority of the realesed-states returned back to their former culture and political structure. Mongola just don't have the capacity or manpower to rule as a solid government.
