The Epic Battle That Stopped the Mongols and Changed History: Ain Jalut 

Hey everyone! Don't forget to support the channel by liking, commenting and subscribing (with notitication bell turned on) so I can bring you more videos like this one. Thanks!

So much effort put in this. Bravery of its finest. Thank you.

Fun fact : The two mastermind generals behind the victory of Ain Jalut, Qutuz & Baibars, shared a common Turkic background, originating from lands that had been previously ravaged by Mongols which were Cumania and Khwarezmia respectively.

It saddens me that this is not taught in school because of hatred of Muslims. I appreciate you for this work thanks to your friend from Bahrain 🇧🇭

This battle also saved Europe

Looking at this, it seems that there are occasional incidents in world history where the world's strongest superpower that dominates the world fails to conquer a certain country. The invasion of Egypt by the 'World's Strongest hyperpower Mongol Empire' almost killed Egypt, but Egypt was lucky to survive. Another example is the eventual withdrawal of the United States from the War in Afghanistan, as well as the victory of Vietnam in the US vs. Vietnam War.

I support every channel that uses PC games like that to make AMAZING videos such as this. Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who helped put this together. Excellent quality. Thanks

This is one of the greatest battles in the islamic history and still a source of pride until now for Arabs and Muslims. Our ancestors were able to defeat the worst unstoppable barbaric army in the history.

Ain Jaluth was also a scene of first mass use of early muskets, thus pioneering the firearm age. Mameluke musket, or rather an arquebuse, was called “midfa” or like that.

Imagine you are defeating both crusaders and mongols and you have both Seljuk Kipchak and Ayyubid traditions

The fact that the Mongols were in Africa while also bordering Alaska is kind of insane to think of.

Awesome as usual! Dunno if you've already done this but I'd love to see the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains from you - Late Romans vs the Huns!

I have wondered why so strong Mongols are defeated by Muslim forces, this video clip gives me very interesting answers. Two mastermind generals - Qutuz & Baibars - never allow Mongol forces to do what they do their best, and keep pressing Mongols to do what they don’t want to do. Therefore, It causes the Mongol army to become not a monster but an ordinary one.

Thanks, very informative, interesting and I immensely enjoyed-so we can learn every day!

Gracias por tenerlo con subtítulos en español. Buen documental por la narración, las imágenes si me parecieron confusas a través de todo el video, no pude comprenderlas pero muy amena la narración.

Excelente producción, un trabajo muy bien logrado.gracias por sus esfuerzos..desde México , saludos.

Rhank you for showing this I never knew about it.

Full respect for Qutuz for not failing at the very time of testing.

Wow. Imagining 40,000 cavalry fighting eachother. This must have been hell

As someone who is fascinated by Mongols (and of course shinobi) I found this video fascinating and thought you did a great job. Congratulations on your incredible videos.

Very interesting part of history. However, I was confused watching the horsemen riding and the infantry walking and the clashes of battle. In fact, there was too much of that. The best part was the descriptions of strategy each side used. I can imagine the horrific death toll and the agony of the wounded. War is hell.

Si jeden z najlepších historických kanálov aké poznám ďakujem za všetki videá

Great screen play moving all of those forces with a kind of harmony when absolute brutality.

you're work is extremely underrated

thank you my friend ❤

la lección q deja esto es que es muy importante mantener las formaciones en el campo de batalla y un orden en las tropas

The game graphics are fine. I am sure they will buff out, with time. The real issue for me was the narrative of battle. The troop movements on the map need to be clearer, more punchy. The voice actor was excellent, but the script was muddled, wandering from topic to topic. All in all, a good show, I will watch some more...

I have lived all over the world, including Muslim lands, like Turkey, Pakistan, and Mindinao. RP. I never felt threatened or subject to harm. My Muslim brothers were great hosts!

Great video. Had never heard of this battle before.

Fascinating video. These stories need to be told.

Sultan Jalal Uddin fought ferociously against Chengis Khan at Kandahar war Parwan war in Afghanistan. At the bay of the Sindhu River and at the girikhat of the Hindu Kush mountain in India. He killed a son and a General of Chengis Khan and chopetaghat to Chengis Khan. Commander Jalal Uddin was a real historical Hero. Lal Salam!

Sultan Beybars would eventually voluntarily give up his throne in Egypt and return to the lands of his ancestors in Central Asian steppes, present day Kazakhstan. Beybars was from Kipchak tribe which belongs to a larger Turkic family. At present day Kipchaks are present in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Some small numbers are also present in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe.

When Muslims Unite, Nothing can stop them. they become a super power

wow! outstanding animation and production!!!! just subscribed

حيا الله فرسان الاسلام العظيم من ترك وعرب وامازيغ اذلوا الكفر ودعاته

Fun facts: Kitbuqa Noyan, was an Eastern Christian of the Naimans, a group that was subservient to the Mongol Empire. [wiki: Kitbuqa]. Conquest of Damascus in 1260: Historical accounts, quoting from the writings of the medieval historian Templar of Tyre, would often describe the three Christian rulers (Hethum I of Armenia, Bohemond VI of Antioch, and Kitbuqa) entering the city of Damascus together in triumph. [ibid] Kitbuqa, who had been left by Hulagu in Syria and Palestine, held the Land in peace and in state of rest. And he greatly loved and honoured the Christians because he was of the lineage of the Three Kings of Orient who came to Bethlehem to adore the nativity of Our Lord. Kitbuqa worked at recovering the Holy Land. [ibid] Several attempts at a Franco-Mongol alliance against the Islamic caliphates, their common enemy, were made by various leaders among the Frankish Crusaders and the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. [wiki: Franco-Mongol alliance] Some historians describe Ain Jalut battle as a crucial point of the mongolian crusade, which failed due to betrayal of the western crusaiders [Lev Gumilev (1970) Searching for an Imaginary Kingdom: The Legend of the Kingdom of Prester John] (in Russian)]. It is not quite surprising, the Orthodox Church was also preferring collaboration with Muslims or even Pagans, but not with Catholics or Nestorians. IMHO this battle is considerably more important from the political point of view, than from the military one.

From Nomadic Dwellings to Imperial Dominion: A Profound Examination of the Nomadic Mongols Survival's Choreography: Driven by an innate quest for security, human settlements typically coalesced, fortifying themselves against the unpredictability of the wilderness. Yet, within the expansive heart of Asia, a distinctive rhythm echoed-the nomadic cadence. On the windswept plains of Mongolia, tribes engaged in a dance of liberty and adaptability, contrasting with settled societies. Hunters, Herders, and Khanates: Envision a life beneath a canvas sky, inhabiting a yurt-a portable wooden refuge adorned with felt, attuned to the changing seasons. Families eked out sustenance from the land, engaged in hunting, shepherding sturdy sheep and nimble goats, and perpetually seeking verdant pastures. Guiding these endeavors was the khan, a leader distinguished by sagacity and valor, wielding authoritative influence in the tribal tableau. Equine Sovereignty: However, the true sovereigns of the steppe were the horses. Mongols domesticated these resilient creatures, rendering them extensions of themselves. Mobility emerged as their currency, swiftness their weapon, and horses the metric of a khan's affluence. The dance of survival, however, harbored a discordant melody-harsh winters, inclement weather, and the omnipresent specter of rival tribes, culminating in clashes as ruthless as the terrain itself. Clash with the Celestial Empire: In the distant south, the Celestial Empire, China, regarded these nomads with suspicion, branding them as "barbarians." Employing diplomatic stratagems and inducements, Chinese emperors endeavored to control the Mongols, instigating internecine tribal conflicts in a futile endeavor to forestall the impending upheaval. Temujin's Ascent: This upheaval bore a name-Temujin. In 1206, emerging from the embers of tribal discord, he unified the Mongols under his banner, assuming the mantle of Genghis Khan. His gaze turned southward, fixated on the fragmented Chinese dynasties-the Tangut, Jin, and Song-ripe for conquest. Artisans of War: Warfare became Genghis Khan's artistry. Despite the absence of siege engines, the Mongols wielded time as their preeminent weapon, besieging walled cities, severing supply lines, and patiently awaiting capitulation. Proficiency with the bow, firing arrows with precision, coupled with equestrian prowess, rendered them spectral entities on the battlefield, appearing and vanishing, leaving adversaries confounded and cities in ruins. Iron-Fisted Realism, Open-Palmed Pragmatism: Despite the often-drawn portrayal of unmitigated ruthlessness, the Mongols transcended mere destruction. Unyielding against resistance, they razed resolute cities but extended pragmatism and clemency to those who surrendered. Proficient artisans and engineers were spared, enlisted for the construction of siege machinery for subsequent conquests. This brutal pragmatism paved the way for their triumphs. Empire in Bloom: By 1215, the Tangut and Jin dynasties bowed before the Mongol tempest. Genghis Khan, however, proved more than a conqueror; he embraced conquered cultures, assimilated technologies, and stimulated trade, transforming the Mongol Empire into a formidable entity along the Silk Road. Westward Expansion: Mongol ambitions transcended the steppes and the Great Wall. Their iron-clad hooves resounded across the Russian steppes into Ukraine. Successors of Genghis Khan, propelled by an unwavering spirit, surged further, reaching Hungary and segments of Afghanistan, thereby embellishing the map with the crimson hues of conquest. Epoch's Conclusion: Yet, like ice empires, even imperial dominions succumb to dissolution. Internal conflicts, compounded by power struggles following Genghis Khan's demise, eroded the once formidable Mongol dominion. In 1368, the empire formally disintegrated, yet the echoes of its legacy resonate in the enduring nomadic ethos of Mongolia. Beyond Martial Arenas: This brief glimpse into the Mongol world beckons further exploration. The intricate nuances of their social structures, distinctive legal code, and interaction with religion warrant meticulous scrutiny. Military strategies, ingenious communication networks, and the economic reverberations of their vast empire constitute additional avenues for investigation. By assembling these fragments, a more intricate tapestry unfolds, portraying a people whose complexity is often misconstrued, yet remains an enthralling chapter in human history.

I love this, keep it up 👍

أشكر صاحب القناة على المجهود المبذول . وأشكره كثيرا على مصداقيته التاريخية في سرد الأحداث التاريخية .

This was an interesting idea for a video. An improved second version might be worth attempting. My first suggestion would be in the visual depiction of the Mongol army. By the time of Ain Jalut, the Mongol army would have been a far more diverse force. Among defeated kingdoms and city-states, the Mongols usually established autonomous, subservient regimes (often enough the current regime) who were pledged to provide armed soldiers to fight for their Mongol lord. Hence, the Mongol army marching toward Jerusalem would appear as diverse as a modern United Nations armed force, but the Mongol idea of peace was submission. Of course, the Mongol army would be drawn from the area from Mideast to Central and Northern Asia. Secondly, as was the case with the Knights Templar on the occasion of marching into hot, arid land to battle Moslems, the 'baking sun' became the wrathful god fighting at the forefront of the Moslem army. Lastly, instead of, or in addition to, the unclear video depictions of the relative positions of Mongol and Moslem forces in battle, your usage of arrows to illustrate positions, strategy and tactics at least sparingly might well enhance viewer understanding of this pivotal battle. As I might be wrong about the level of heat at the time of the engagement, at the outset, a brief description of date, time and probable weather conditions would clarify what the two sides faced, regarding Mother Nature. Separately, I think viewers might be interested in the American Indian migrational wars and empires, such as Ojibway, Commanche and Lakota-Dakota.

Thanks for the video.This was an important battle but not the Mongol's first defeat- The battle of Parwan a generation before.

Great video my friend!!!

bro this was amazing more pls.

Great episode as usual thank u🌷 We want the battles of Khaled bin Al-Walid

I'm glad someone finally beat the mongals, Blessed Be.

Thanks for showing the history ....👌👍👍

Ótima história e grato pelo excelente subtitulo em português!

This would be so much better with more commentary. I like watching a battle but it lost me not knowing what was going on.

Me gusta mucho como reproducen las batallas ademas de ser muy entretenido es bastante educativo

The Mongols also lost because they did NOT FIGHT THEIR style of warfare, but tried to meet the other force with direct heavier cavalry tactics.

The great historian Ibn Khaldun also argues in his “Introduction to History” (or The Muqaddimah) that nomadic peoples, the Turks foremost among them, were the most energetic and martial of peoples and that imperial dynasties and regimes emerged from such groups until they became corrupted and softened by civilization and luxury, which resulted in a loss of martial energy and group solidarity. This analysis is very true because as the Abbasid caliphate started to lose its power and influence in the mid-ninth century most of the dynasties that emerged to control the various regions of the Muslim world were founded by Turks, either tribal nomads or former slave soldiers. Ibn Khaldun even attributes the victory of the Muslims over the Mongols to the martial power and energy of the Turks, who formed the elite ranks of the Mamluk armies that defeated the Mongols on several occasions as they attempted to advance into Syria and Egypt between 1260 and 1323.

I enjoyed very much this video about this crucial battle. Very well made. Thanks and good luck 🍀 with your work.

The composite bow was used by both sides. it's the first time the Mongols had no advantage. ancient Egypt invented this bow and the Mongols reinvented it. And both designs converged in Ain Jalut. The technology clash was high for sure.

Fascinating content. Thanks.

Please treat the next video as the Battle of Sarhu, a war for supremacy between the Ming and Joseon allied forces and the Qing Dynasty. This is an incident in which Emperor Nurhachi of Qing stopped 100,000 of the Joseon Allied Forces with 8,000 cavalry. Admiral Yujeong of the Ming Dynasty and Kang Hong-rip, the commander of Joseon, are the main characters. Other generals include Kim Eung-ha, Moon Hee-seong, Yang Ho, and Du Song.

Semangat membela negara dan agama menjadikan kemenangan bertempur

Great stuff

Something that happened in the past can’t change the history of the time in which it happened, because it is the history of that time. Perhaps you should say, it shaped history.

Спасибо большое арабам за победу над монголами: иначе сегодня население всего мира было бы жёлтым и с узкими глазами. Так как азиатские гены самые сильные на планете.

Awesome video! This is the battle that saved Egypt, and quite possibly the rest of Africa, from being conquered by the Mongols. As for future videos, here are a few suggestions: Total War: Attila 1. Battle of Adrianople (378 C.E.) 2. Vandals vs Picts 3. Sack of Aquileia (452 C.E.) 4. Ostrogoths vs Himyar Total War: Rome II 1. Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.) 2. Odrysian Kingdom vs Lusitani 3. Battle of the Sabis (57 B.C.E.) 4. Carthage vs Royal Scythia

I'm a enthusiast of history but I learnt about Mongols and their military exploits when I was grown up. It was not taught in schools because colonialists made history revolve around them.

1223 - ''The Battle of Samara Bend, also called the Battle of Ovneshka or the Battle of Kernek, was the first battle between Volga Bulgaria and the Mongols.

Watching this reenactment looks like it would be fun to do battle . In reality it probably would not be , especially if your side lost or even if it didn't . The pain , the blood , the anxiety , the fear and the realization that you may soon die .

As it is in our hands, the uniforms should (better to) be clearly different. So one can understand the whole scenario. Generals and Kings should be visible. Good video, but could be more better. 👍👍

The numbers of fighting men is more like 15,000 vs 30,000 as Helugu returns to Mongolia with the bulk of Mongol army for the succession of Great Khan.

Some great realistic animation but the symbolic graphics of the overall larger battle progress are as clear as mud!

The throat singing is a nice touch.

Before the battle, the eyes of the Egyptian soldiers were filled with tears as they listened to the caliph's sermon, as they would fight for the name of Egypt and for the sake of crushing the Mongols. Historian James Watterson, speaking about the Great Battle of Shaqhab, is one of the strong Egyptian nationalist feelings in the Great Battle of Shaqhab in the year 1303 AD. Source : The book of the Knights of Islam and the wars of the Mamluks, page 303

At that time, the Mamluks were headed by Sayfutdin Kutuz from the Khorezmshah family. Son Sister of Sultan Jalal ad-Din

thanks a lot

Real good documentary 👏

Muito bom ! As estratégias e a coragem sempre foram a marca dos vencedores em guerras . Professor, Reis.

Mongol are very amazing and fascinating warriors.

Excellent video

El imperio mongol el imperio britanico y el imperio iberico (union de España y Portugal) durante 90 años fueron los mas grandes de la historia.

Muito bem! Parabéns ao exército mameluco que venceu os mongóis. História fascinante! From Brazil.

This was not the only defeat of the Mongolian army during the Western Expedition, but even several failed battles before that could not stop the Mongolian army from conquest, but many Western historians like to ignore the fact that the Mongolian army was not Because of the failure of this battle, the road to the west was terminated, not to mention that this battle that obviously did not conform to the Mongols' combat style was deliberately adapted. In fact, the ruler of the Mongolian Empire at that time fought in the war to conquer China in August 1259. died, and when the news was passed to the Western Expeditionary Army nearly a year later, Hulagu had to stop the Western Expedition and rush back to China to participate in the battle for the position of the Great Khan. The Western Expedition was suddenly stopped, not because of the defeat of a certain battle. I hope that those Western historians will stop remaking history and treat the progress of civilization with the justice that a scholar should have.

Saya dari Indonesia Teruslah berkarya dengan kejujuran supaya masyarakat dunia tau akar sejarah peperangan dunia yang sebenarnya 👍❤️

Бих искал да видя Овчата битка между Волжка България и Монголската империя. Благодаря ви предварително

This was the beginning of the end of the Mongolian barbarian civilization. Mamluks also saved the West from these barbarians.

All Mongolian soldiers are mounted and have high mobility, and they overwhelm enemy infantry soldiers wearing heavy armor with powerful Mongolian bows (composite bows). But the Mamluk soldiers were former horsemen who were sold into Egypt as slaves. In other words, they were fighting the same cavalry race.

An improved second version might be worth attempting. ----this is urgently needed as this one is ....

Love the graphics

Wonder if the size of the Arabian horse was relevant as well as the weather as it is believed that the Mongols struggled in warmer climates. Great video!

Western historians such as Gumilev and Saleh said that the two sides were relatively far apart in terms of strength, the Mongols numbered 15,000, and the Mamluk-Turks numbered about 60-65,000.

thank you for video, (ain jalut) it means the eye of goliath

Great use of My FAVORITE Game!

Cumplimentada su sugerencia, muy bien tratamiento de la batalla, los cuadritos con la información subtitulada es conveniente tengan mayor tiempo en pantalla, pues da lugar a que haya que volver atrás, por lo demás encuentro la descripción excelente. Gracias.

I may have been misinformed about the history of this battle. I was led to believe that the Mamluk army was much larger.

Informative

You will make and upload battle of manzikert 1071 please?

Muito bom vídeo e resumo da história 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

The most interesting thing is that on the side of the Mongols the Mongols themselves had no more than a hundred warriors. The bulk of the army consisted of Armenians, Persians, Turks, Khorezmians, Syrians, Tatars and others.

Fascinating!

Really great video depicting the battle realistically. Thank you, I will continue to follow you.

Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home. May, T.M., 2012. The Mongol conquests in world history, London: Reaktion Books. p.222

I'm convinced if Attila was born 250 years more late, the Arabic armies that destroyed both the Roman and Sassanid empires would absolutely crush them. Especially when you consider that they rarely lost single combat battles before combat, and the Huns also participated in traditional single combats before two armies fought. To clarify, when the armies are standing across from each other ready to do battle, it was tradition in both the Hunnic and Arab/Early Islamic cultures to send forth a champion to perform single combat before the battle, in full view of both armies. Waiting to see who wins.

Because Mengge Khan died in August, Hulagu led his troops to return eastward, and all the elite Mongolian forces returned eastward with him. Hulagu left only 5000 Mongol horsemen against Mamluks

Great video.. first time I got to understand what stop the Mongols
