Archeologists in Hungary found a funeral mural of a 13th century knight's battle against the Mongols...half way around the world japanese samurais recorded battles against the Mongols....these two peoples didnt even know the other existed, let alone fighting a same enemy....However Mongols did
early, both Franc Empire and Chinese Tang Dynasty fought against thr Arab Empire, both European Knights and Chinese Kara-Khitan Dynasty battle against the Seldjulks,
@@Emilechen not to the world encompassing extent the mongols did.....all those are isolated single events...mongols ruled for hundreds of years in russia and central asia
First ever Mongolian state appeared in 20th century. Before 20th century Mongolians had neither their own state, nor their own army. What historians are referring to as Mongolian Empire, actually was a Russian-Tatar empire. Tatars are Europeans. Tatar ethnos originated on the northern coast of Black Sea.
Asia was colonized by Volga Tatars. Many Asian tribes in the process of colonization lost their languages and switched to one or other dialect of Tatar language. After the defeat in a civil war, an old regime horde moved to Central Asia and it also contributed to spreading of Tatar language into Asia.
I highly recommend Dan Carlins “Wrath of Khan” podcast if you’d like to hear in-depth about the mongol rise to power. 5 episodes and between 3-5 hours each. Great storyteller
Absolutely! Icr the percentage of ppl today who still carry some Genghis gene's. Appartently he was very prodigious regarding the spread of his genes. ; )
@@musicmadgic6931 nah. You don't know what you are talking. Alexander got his empire made for him by his father Philip II while Genghi Khan got his empire from his own fist.
Look up subutai and jebe. Part of Chinggis khan' success is cause of these two generals. They conducted the undefeated campaigns from India to Russia, Korea to Italy. Jebe was even an enemy of Chinngis khan and shot him in the neck. But instead of vengeance, Chinggis Khan chose to recognize his skills and character. Subutai outlived Chinggis Khan and even taught the later khans.
Subutai is considered by historians to be one of the greatest generals of all time. He was the chief military strategist of both Genghis Khan and his son Ogedei. The Mongol Empire is documented as the largest land empire ever. Subutai had a lot to do with this but history generally fails to properly give him the credit.
Well during Genghis khans era. Genghis khan himself was a chief tactican. After that Muqali and Boorchi were most likely chief generals. Subutai wasnt chief or main tactician of Genghis khan. Even Jebe wasnt
Meat-eating Mongols were probably a huge factor when Genghis Khan expanded his empire. Some historians discuss the fact that Mongol soldiers were superior to Chinese soldiers because the Mongols ate a diet with high-quality meat and fat, making them strong and healthy. The Chinese soldiers were fed mostly rice which made them weaker. Also, the Mongolian soldiers ate a lot of raw meat and did not have to prepare food during wartime, which also gave them an advantage on the battlefield.
That was not a raw meat, that was a “Borts” it’s cold air dried meat. Borts is more nutritious, and said to be tastier, than other modern field rations. There is an unconfirmed method from old times: Mongolian nobles relied on borts for months-long journeys. Dried carefully for three years and then ground into a fine powder, until it all could fit through a sieve. It further shrinks volume of the borts so whole cow's meat can fit into a cow's bladder. Just a pinch of borts prepared like this said to able to nourish 3-4 people in a soup form.
@@mekhzakhq976 Sounds like Pemmican that indians used to prepare in America. Many historians claims that Mongols did eat raw meat though. Somethimes they would take the raw meat and place it on the saddle of their horse and sit on it when riding. After a while the meat would soften up and became less tough to chew.
One of the many things that was good about this video was the actual topic selection. Instead of trying to have a somewhat seamless chronology (which would have been impossible in 20 minutes) you picked out some of the most important things a generalist observer needs to know about the mongols. Choosing those topics and linking them without making them mere bullet points is a very difficult task and you did it extremely well.

@@connorlancaster7541 I do my best, but my merit is not mine. Jesus died for me because I could not obey Him fully. He gave me His righteousness. So now I strive to live my life for Him out of thankfulness.
Great summary, its really great knowing history in this peaceful time, but I feel pity to those people in the path of war, it took everything from them.
@@allcatsarebeautiful2770 MOST of the world. No wars anywhere in Europe west of the Ukraine, all of the Americas are peaceful, with a couple of relatively non-bloody revolts, Most of Asia is at peace....we don't realize how lucky we are. The few "hot spots": the Middle East, central Western Africa, Ukraine, the Horn of Africa - they are relentlessly played up by the Mass Media, in gory, minute-by-minute detail. This gives a false sense of the world being in upheaval. Same for most of "The News": it's only "news" because it is not common: the exception rather than the norm. Believe it or don't, the world is more peaceful now, than at any time since the Pax Romanica.
what an informative video, The story telling and animations in this channel are amazing. A true inspiration to small history youtubers like myself in this channel is amazing. A true inspiration to small history youtubers like myself
I was studying the history of the world conquest of the Mongol Empire, the most hyperpower empire in the world, and it was a great reference. I am majoring in world history and war history, so I am studying world history and war history. 세계를 정복한 세계최강대국인 몽골제국의 세계정복사를 공부하고 있었는데, 정말 훌륭한 참고가 되었습니다. 저는 세계사와 전쟁사를 전공해서 세계사, 전쟁사 전공입니다.
Never get involved in a land war in Asia: Unless you are the Mongol Never invade Russia in winter: Unless you are the Mongol Never...Unless you are the Mongol
@@426mak there was no unified Russia to conquer Russia or the Rus didn’t exist until after the mongols were long gone. The Russians actually conquered even Mongolia eventually so your example is wrong mongols couldn’t even protect their homelands for 500 years after Ghengis died very impressive when the last time a foreign power conquered England was a thousand years ago.
I was wondering how a pastoral tribes conquered almost the world and finally I got my answer. They've been moving and living everywhere their whole lives which made them to cope with the situation to go on war for years as they don't have an specific home to miss or go back
@@olufemiolumilua4689 nope my point is their home is the land not a house or parts of the land how can one miss their home when every where you roam is your home
@@bradenr867 exactly? Nope his point being no Specific home my point the land is home when nomads move they aren't moving homes they are just moving bedrooms inside their home so they are always home
Usually I don't comment on anyone's video but your content is superb so I am commenting on your video. Wow this video is fantastic. Every line is a point. Your channel deserve more subscriber. I regularly watch your videos from 2 years. As a old subscriber I want a help from you that please make a video on skanderbeg because I realised that only you can describe it nicely. As I know you from the old days, I think you will definitely make a video on this topic
Yeah, the fact that Mongolia invaded Russia in the midst of winter while Germany couldn't do it with MUCH more soldiers and industrialization more than half a thousand years after is astonishing. But Mongols were more wild, and their climate is closer to Russia's than it's case with Germany.
Im pretty sure Gunghis already long dead by that time. Also being tributary state are far from being conquered. When they clean their mess they can always strike back. And paying tribute to the mongols are the better choice than annihilation by the crusaders.
He was the beginning of a spark. His descendants would also continue his legacy. But even before him there were khans who were also ruthless and conquerers.
3:37 Another translation of "Genghis Khan" that probably highlights what they thought of him a bit better would be "Universal Ruler." Genghis literally means great but they pretty much considered him to be the ruler of the world

@A̐manjol M̐əmbetjanūlı False, During Baybars & Qutuz time period, Majority Mamelukes were Circassian // Also Mongol Commander Baiju Noyan Crushed a Sjeljuk Army 3 Times as big as his own at battle of Kose Dag
@@426mak it wasnt really a battle but more of a stalemate where a mongol horde of 200k including client states in central asia invaded hungary a second time and the hungarians hid behind their 50 newly built western style castles while the mongols sieged them. Unfortunately for the mongols western style castles laugh at trebuchets so the mongols starved to death and resorted to cannibalism. The remaining army was destroyed by the hungarian king. The mongol horde never again attempted an invasion of central europe. Fyi... 50 western style castles destroyed the mongols.... Germany has 5 thousand castles and fortified towns during that time. I will try to look it up later its been a while since ive read that history.
Plz make more socio-political documentaries on other steppe nations,like xiongnu,Huns,Scythians,Gökturks and also on yuezhi tribes (Kushan),and wusun's also .
@The Imperishable Star hey comrade, i don't know what is your problem but hope you're understand that history is such a complicated thing. maybe you're seeing Chinggis Khan as a cruel dictator, heartless murderer or i don't know... but i see him as a Thanos or Uchiha Madara from Naruto.. true peace does costs blood, doesn't it?
You have every reason to be proud! To some he was a barbarian and to others a great unifier...what ever you believe, his name will live on..no one conquers peacefully..not even God!
I went to high school where teachers confused and wrongly lumped together the Mongols and the Huns. Today, their respective legacies can be seen in the national names of "Hungary" and "Mongolia". They are not close geographically or in terms of chronology. We need better education in the U.S.A.
My history teacher taught us that Henry Ford invented the automobile. And she’s furious if somebody is correcting her, like a flat earther would react if engaged in a logical discussion.
You wonder if the world might have been different without losing a hundred thousand warriors or even double that on the way to Japan. Who knows how powerful they would've become after conquering the entire Asian region and even slightly beyond that. As every area they conquered, that countries people were forced to join their army.
at that time, China was divided under Western Xia, Western Liao, Jurchen Jin, Dali kingdom and Song Dynasty, when Mongol fought Song Dynasty, also they also have the help of other Turks, Muslims or Northern Chinese, so it is not simply 1 millions against 50 millions, and the Great Khan Mongke was even killed by the Song soldiers during the siege of Diaoyu city,
@@Emilechen At this time were Mongols too divided. There were many small parts of nomads and Mongols didn´t get help of anyone. Munkh Khan killed not by Song soldiers. His bruder Khubilai Khan killed him.
@@chekoenkh8549 at that time China was even more divided: Wester Liao, Western Xia, Jim Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Dali Kingdom, many people are impressed by the conquest of Mongol Empire in 13th century, building the biggest empire, but in my opinion, this kind of conquest doesn't last, the best for the Mongols is to do what Dzungur Mongol Empires does: unify Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet first, than spends several centries to consolidate and create a commun identity, based on Tibetan Buddhism, if the Mongols manage to do that, todya Mongolia will still be a powerhouse in Asia, just like Japan before WWII, if Japan has stopped when Japan has already Korea, Taiwan, Manchuria and Pacific islands, then spedn decades to absorb them, Japan will become number 1 in Asia, when China remained divided, ita coastlines dominated by Japan, Mongols and Japanese invaded a divided China, destroyed the different kingdoms and factions in China, but it is not a wise strategy, since they need to face a emerging unified Ming Dynasty and Communist China later, so the Anglo-Saxon's strategy of dividing Europe, but not conquering it, seems to be more realistic,
From the show "Draining the oceans" they were able to discover that the fleet that tried to invade Japan had poorly built ships which couldn't stand the rough storms of the deep sea. They were mostly Chinese and Korean coastal fishing and merchant ships. If they had prepared proper war ships things might have taken a different turn.
@@kazkaskazkas8689 Chinese fleets didn't even land in japan, they didn't want to help the mongols attack japan. Those who invaded japan were the mongol and korean fleets in the north.
"I am the scourge of tenger(sky,heaven), if you hadnt commit such sins god wouldnt have sent a punishment like me upon you" "Hard mountains exist Dont think how to overcome it Have a will to overcome it Furious rivers exist Dont think how to cross it Have a desire to conquer it" "If you are afraid dont do it, if you are doing it dont be afraid" "I didnt become the khan Because i am the best of these men The love of eternal tenger Made me a khan I didnt sit on throne With my strength Blessing of father sky Made me a khan" - Famous quotes of Chinggis khan
"I am the scourge of tenger(sky,heaven), if you hadnt commit such sins god wouldnt have sent a punishment like me upon you" Sounds like Christian religion to me.
Genghis Khan is my favorite barbarian. He literally conquered Europe, from coast to coast, and he believed in whole measures. You were either with him or dead.
TBH never knew they were that savage to takeover lands. I can’t imagine being the invaded, sleeping and suddenly a bunch of strong men claim the place I earned.
The mongols couldnt advance into europe as they quickly realized european castles will destroy them. That and the european landmass are mostly forested which is unsuitable for mongol cavalry.
@@ibashcommunists6847 well they encountered the same environment in india and after a few setbacks they ( chagatai; timur ; mughals .... ) managed to take over the territory.
I just want to add that defining Genghis Khan into "Mongol" or Mongolian and defining Jin, Song, Tangut into Chinese deviate from the authentic history during that time. The term Mongol & Chinese did not exist during that time.
