The Timurids after Timur (barring the Mughals of course) get routinely glossed over in many history videos as they make the period following Timur's death seem as a rapid decline.
@@lastword8783 Yeah what even happened to them all of Alexander's children were killed but Pyrrhus his cousin survived and thrived so clearly his family continued elsewhere.
@@StoicHistorian there is but a downside to such strategists. As they can't create opportunities. They have to wait for the other to make a mistake. While generals like Napoleon, Alexander, Timur and Hannibal don't have to wait for such opportunities to appear. They force their opponents to show them one. Napoleon used to weaken his flanks to invite his enemies or abruptly vacate high positions. Hanniba used to weaken his own center so as to envelop his enemies with his Numidian cavalry. While Timur or Robert Guiscard was just crafty as a fox using whatever works. Such generals are ultimately the best. Not Tokugawa or ShahRukh
@@caniblmolstr452 Yep Tokugawa becoming Shogun was one of the most Lucky dominos falling into place scenarios I have ever seen, Well besides The Rise Of The Ottomans.
Add “Khan” at the end of your title to farm Indian views. Informative as well, we learned about Babur and Akbar but never heard of Shah Rukh till your video.
Loved the Video ❤, Everybody makes a detailed video on the Life of Timurlane but Nobody talks about his successor - Shahrukh And The Fracturing of the Timurid Empire. Hope you will cover their entire history until Babur!
@@StoicHistorian I'd love for you to cover Hungary a bit with Bela IV and the French Kings of Hungary like Louis 'the Great', the Luxembourgs with Sigismund and also since you like to do abstract relatives of Great kings Matthias Corvinus dad the White Knight would be perfect for one of these type videos.
Shahrukh means soul of king or spirit of king. The city Shahrukhiya named after him. Shahrukh didn't involved to succession because of his mother was concubine not high class lady the khanum. But he was one who keep state unified. Other Temurid Princes exiled his line from throne because legitimate system. His son Mirzo Ulughbek who was founder of Temurid rennessans.
@@farnabazat5395 did you ever heard of Rukhnoma, written by first turkman leader Saparmurad Niyozov? Dear please stop thinking that every cool things comes from persi. There's other cultures, languages, countries outside of ir iran
@@islombekochi where did I said those ? Your brain have problem ? I just explained to you the word rokh means Face and figure !! Its a Persian word not turko_mongolic word .but you said in your comment it means soul or spirit. That's false !! Where did I had pride about my country in my previous comment ? 😲🙁
@@islombekochi What's wrong with the given additional information? He says nothing wrong. Central Asia is Persianized too. Persian names are pretty common in Central Asia. The word rukhnama or noma is also Persian, meaning the book of Rukh, i.e., Shah Rukh.
"There's a high art of doing things, and then, there's high art of letting things be" Cant remember who said this comment but the latter half applies to Shah Ruk to a R.
I hope it was pun but Shah Rukh actually means Shah is king in Farsi & Rukh is both Arabic & Farsi word which means Soul or Sprit. So since old time Muslim world was poetic that means Sprit of King or a spiritual King.
The fact of persianization is overstated by illiterate persian nationalist sources as their history curriculum in their schools doesn't contain world history so that they develop this delusion that they are the only people that exist on the planet. Acculturation of the invaders is a fact of history starting from Akkadians. Most invaders who come from less populous lands have to take on the character of the invaded to rule them better as they don't have the numbers to fill in the ranks of local beaurocracy. This happened until the industrial revolution everywhere, including in China, India, Rome, Greece, and with Normans, Himyarites, Gauls, Norse etc. Even the British were starting to dress like Indians and assimilate until industrialization and ideas of scientific race in mid 19th century made it both easy to rule from afar and amalgamation obsolete and idea of supremacy of cultures commonplace.
@@StoicHistorian ok … what about Timur vs Ming general Xu Da, who specialized in fighting Mongols and nomads. He burned Karakorum to the ground and chased the remnant Yuan into Siberia, the furthest north any Chinese general reached.
@@Nom_AnorVSJedi ive never heard of him but from what you told me i would say he could have a chance at defeating timur. its hard to say considering just how good timur was strategically
@@StoicHistorian was he though? Was Timur truly that formidable? Like many Turko Mongols he depended on defectors in enemy ranks, like at Anakara with Bayazid treacherous Turkic vassals who switched sides to Timur.
The Mongols conquered infighting Turkic tribes and got completely assimilated afterwards. For example Timur and Babur, despite claiming roots going as far back as to Genghis Khan, they used the term Mongol as an insult describing uncivilized and unislamic behavior.
@@joerogue231 Unlike the Turkic people in Iran, the Mongols in Central Asia and Eastern Europe lost their language, identity and culture. Meanwhile, the former Iranian foreign minister claims that 40% of Iranian speak a Turkic language as their mothertongue. That is the difference. The Mongols did not manage to leave any cultural, religious or linguistic impact on the land
@@joerogue231 another example is Afghanistan. The Hazaras of Afghanistan speak Persian, not Mongolian. Meanwhile, the Uzbeks, Turkmens and Kizilbash have managed to maintain their language and identity.
Shahrukh was superior then timur in academic intellect education area where he inproved the empire but he was very weak as a general governance politics and administration
