Medieval Islamic history is dominated by Turco-Mongolian dynasties. One of the most impactful of these was the Timurids. Named after its ferocious and legendary founder Timur, who would take his armies across Central Asia, Persia, India, Russia and the Middle East - vanquishing anybody that stood in his way. In the wake of his death in 1405, his successors fought over the scraps of empire, leading to its political decline over the next century. Despite this, Timurid cities such as Herat and Samarkand retained its place as centres of learning and art, inaugurating a period referred to as the Timurid Renaissance. At the same time as civil wars between family members were destroying the territorial integrity of the realm, incredible buildings were being constructed and leading scholars were finding patronage. This is the story of the Timurids.

When determining the greatness of an empire, which factor do you hold in higher esteem - longevity or legacy? Full Documentary Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLiPhmAD3I2Jz-1xQ0POURRX_Q-6Jxo17A&si=0B9sbSJNLU4f1b9x

@brookechang4942 23 дня назад

Personally, I'd say legacy, but the two go hand in hand. The longer your empire lasts, the bigger your legacy can be.

@HikmaHistory 23 дня назад

@@brookechang4942 Fair point. I'd agree, legacy weighs more.

@user-pc3ts8yc5b 21 день назад

All empires left legacies regardless of how long they lasted! The foremost question here should be how do we justify whether an empire's legacy is great or inglorious.

Hi Hikma, Thank you for making a video about our ancestors. Timur reestablished Central Asian Turkic power, culture, and ancient cities, which had been totally destroyed by Genghis Khan 150 years earlier. Timur's grandson Ulugh Beg became a great astronomer, and his student Ali Qushji continued his work in Istanbul. Babur, a direct descendant of Timur, founded the Mughal Empire in India, which lasted for 300 years.

Many think Uzbek and Temurids were different and others believe Uzbeks have not right to claim Temurids as ancestors. But we uzbeks believe it is our history, I wanted to explain how it's. 1) they both emerged from turko-mongol sphere 2) they have intermarriage relationships 3) both uzbek and temuri people speak same language Chagatayi Turkic After uzbek conquest all became uzbeks that's why we have 92 tribe and 3 big tribal confederations. I want to say thanks to creators work and research. Our central Asian culture and history is not well known. By this work many may know about this part of the world.

@@milanvitu3963 Uzbek identity established as whole in Shaybanid era 1501-1600 then Ashtarkhanids 1601-1702. Uzbeks divided because of political instability and fighting outside invasions, you see after death of major ruler, his all family members tried to gaining power. It leads to rise local tribe chiefs higher positions and many become DeFacto ruler over puppet khans or established their own dynasty. In Khiva khanate there's "game of khans" changed khans 100 times in just 30 years. Bukhara khanate used to keep puppets 1711-1786 but then ruling clan Manghits become deJure rulers, it rise Fergana people against them and they established their own in 1710s. Firs Their main goal was keep Chinese and Kazakh invaders cause no army come from central government to rescue. There's still elements of pre unification Temurid time locals called "sart" or something and Shaybanids called "toza Uzbek" it's just classification.

@user-pc3ts8yc5b 22 дня назад

"Uzbek" is the label came into use after the invasion of Uzbek tribe into Central Asia. The political rule belonged to Uzbek tribe, but the local population still were the same.

Biz kim mulku Turon, Amiri Turkistonmiz, Biz kim millatlarning eng ulug'i va buyugi Turkning bosh bo'g'inimiz. this is the one of the very famous sayings by Amir Temur. And I belive this is enough to claim Temur was Uzbek. And just saying the name Uzbek was not used at the time of Amir Temur is not reasonable enough. 1 nations will be called differently by different nations and it is also different depending on time period. Uzbeks were originally called Turks. Becouse separating the Turks were the plan from russion so they did not want any unity of Turks. separate the and control them is their anthem.

@user-pc3ts8yc5b 23 дня назад

Not a clear question! Defeating in what sense?? In military warfare there is no such phrase "to defeat". There are only strategic goals of the military campaign. What Timur was conducting towards China was a whole military campaign, which would last for several years. 1) Ming army was no match to the battle-hardened professional Timurid army, who brought all empires to their knees in Eurasia. 2) Ming army would probably use "scorched earth" tactics by avoiding to give a big one battle, which would finalize their fate in several hours. Ottomans, Mamluks, Indians, Golden Horde, all of them made this mistake and lost their military capability in one battle. 3) Even if Timur could manage to catch Ming army and destroy them, it would allow them to occupy Northern China, the Yellow River basin. Ming dynasty had enough resources to resist Timurid army in continuous battles. 4) Furthering the success southwards into the heartland of China, Yangtze river basin, would be practically impossible for Timurids, who had no supply line with their home. Thus, Timur's vision on this campaign would probably be not integrating Northern China into his empire due to the obvious geographical constraints. Without moving the core of his empire, Timur would not be able to control demographically powerful Northern China. China is a monumental prize, which would not be easy to handle as it was with Persia, Anatolia, Iraq, India. So, Timur would come and take whatever needs, then he would go back to Samarkand with a tick in the box "done" on his CV.

@Shimra8888 23 дня назад

@@user-pc3ts8yc5b totally disagree. The Ming dynasty was newly founded by Zhu Yuanzhang and just came out of a quick civil war and was led by the Yongle emperor, the most martial of Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons. The Prince of Yan was equally use to leading armies in the war against the Mongols, his multiple expeditions into Mongolia attest to that fact. The Ming military he led specialized in fighting Mongol armies like Timur’s and were eager to fight and well known foe. Where Timur could field hundreds of thousands, the Ming could field millions of combat veterans. I think there is a reason that for decades Timur acknowledged the Ming as his overlord and he as their loyal vassal.

If not Timurids, the fate of humanity and shape of world would be completely different! 1) Golden Horde would rule Russia until 20th century, with eventual establishment Tartaria (Ruso-mongol confederation) 2) Ottomans would already cease to exist since the most obvious successor Suleyman celebi would disintegrate and bury the sultanate (which he almost proved in his short period) 3) Modern day iran is literally a byproduct of Timurid cultural boom. If not Timur, today we would see ilkhanate emirate of persia 4) If not Timur, there would be no Babur, and Indian subcontinent would never be unified under a single flag, Indians would never have a strong feeling of one nation, which would guarantee European colonisation of Indian peninsula up until today.

Turkey had a natural barrier as a border whereas iran was constantly attacked from Central asia and its Kingdom was replaced by them. And who said they couldn't be defeated? Times changes and technology too. Central asian invaders had advanced strategy and technology. Like Mughals were descendants of timurids and were defeated. Ottomans started losing from 16th century. Even if they survived there is no chance they can't be defeated where is innovation in technology. And last of all only tribes related to that empires are nostalgic for them as where is the choice of natives there is no chance natives would allow foreigners to rule them

The battle of Ankara 1402 The sultan Bayezid the thunderbolt was his captif and died later on that’s quite something making a ottoman Sultan his prisoners I don’t want to mention that he was bloodthirsty because in the middle age everyone was savage in a way

@user-pc3ts8yc5b 22 дня назад

Timurid empire lived until 1858! Timurid princes ruled over the richest and most powerful land, India. All great mughal emperors, called themselve "timurid-gurkhani". The Timurid India possessed 26% of world economy. Ottomans were a regional power, imprisoned in the lake! they never had access into the world ocean! They could not influence on the world affairs

Contrast the Timuruds to the Ottomans. The Ottomans must have believed in a kind of 'manifest destiny '. Whatever happened, there could only be one unified Ottoman Empire, one sultan, one capital. This may be good but also many nations today owe their origins and culture to the Timurids. Mostly the new nations that came after breaking of the Soviet Union.

@user-pc3ts8yc5b 22 дня назад

Even Ottomans were in cultural debt in front of Timurids. Mehmed II kept luring many Timurid scholars, architects and poets, because Timurid civilization was considered as the pinnacle of art, culture, architecture and science. Mehmed was even buried in Timurid style in a mausoleum built by Central Asian architectures.
