Disappointed the Mongols did not use the Toyota Hilux.
Mongols with technicals, that's a frightening thought
😄
disappointed the didn't used Land Raiders.
Belagerungsmörser the Sheep the emperor protects
Mongols + horses = closest thing you can get to a APC in those times
now Mongols + Toyota Hilux = closest thing you can get to a Weapon To Surpass Metal Gear in those times
And then Commissar Volkus you dangerous dangerous little man you, Mongols + Land Raiders = closest thing you can get to a mini Death Star in those times
I'm sorry but the Ögedei symbol just looks like a mix between the Tumblr and Facebook logos.
I thought it was Facebook and Twitter
Nah, it’s just a lowercase Tumblr logo
Both of them two overwhalmingly conquest-based Empires as well.
I cannot unsee it for fucks sake
@@elemperadordemexico twitter logo is a birb
Afghanistan: "Don't mess with us! We're the Graveyard of Empires!"
Vietnam: "Hold my rice field."
TheFandrian it’s not even a desert and it’s been conquered more than any nation in history
Hold my Paddy
@@ChevyChase301 I Know right?
British went three times with these people and couldn't subdue them Russians tried to subdue but after 10 fucking years they just said "fuck it we are leaving!"
And recently after 18 years of fighting and telling us "WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!!!" the most advanced military currently on the planet signed a peace treaty with a bunch of terrorists
And these terrorists only number around at most 10 thousand and American couldn't subdue them what hope does America have if these 60 million United?
So yeah "ITS BEEN CONQUERED MORE THAN ANY NATION IN HISTORY"
conquering and maintaining that territory with no problem are two different things
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Alexander, The Hephtalites, the Mongols, and the Persians seemed to have done pretty well at it.
@@eazy8579 yeah Alexander took 6 months to conquer persia and took 2 years to conquer the areas which are today Known as Afghanistan and he won because he married a princess of baktria knowing that if he didn't do it They will rebel in a short time and regarding the hephtalites they are still present in Afghanistan they never left and assimilated into the local culture and the Persians did a good job because they both were almost in language and culture alike unlike the British and Russians or Americans
Ah Vietnam never disappoints.
mongols thought they were gangsta, until the trees started speaking vietnamese
do to this day only France holds the highscore for "longest time holding Vietnam"
everyone else can't seem to beat level 3
Mongols campaigns to South East Asia are always a failure. They also tried to strike a deal with Majapahit and they got backstabbed.
Ethan Byarugaba
The only reason France colonized Vietnam was because of their trickery of the Catholic monarchy and their modern weapons. Once the Vietnamese got their hands on modern weapons they kicked the French back to Paris with their cocks up their ass. They did the same with the Japanese and they are the only ones to kick the USA's ass.
Vietnamese don't fuck around...they have been kicking Chinas ass for thousands of years. And no one surrounding them ever messes with them.
@@surferxblood lol Chinese hold Northern Vietnam for a millennium
I can't be the only one who thinks that a movie about the Mongol invasion of Vietnam would be awesome.
Yeah same
Hell yeah
>it ain't me throat cover starts playing
being the strongest army of the time and got repeled 3 times by a much smaller army isnt fun for the Mongol
*When the trees start speaking Vietnamese*
"Oh Tengri...."
Some additional notes for those who want to know a little more:
Mongke Khan died during the Siege of Diaoyu Fortress, a walled self-sufficient hilltop city in the western part of Song China near Sichuan. Conflicting reports have him dying of dysentery, killed by a Song trebuchet shot, and killed by a Song archer. The death of Mongke caused the Mongolians to retreat, and it would be another 20 years or so before they'd try and siege the Diaoyu Fortress again.
To put a final end to the Mongolian empire, the Ming dynasty of China shattered the Yuan dynasty remnant, sacked the capital city Karakorum, then began centuries of imperialism as it played Mongol houses against each other (typical ancient Chinese policy to keep the nomads disunited).
"can be swiftly undone by time"
sooo ... it's either not all that swift or not all that time consuming?
Fingolians shall RULE in place of the khan
Inshallah ☝️🇫🇮🇲🇳
That’s such a bad border drawing of the mongol empire. They never got that far north and novograd was spared but payed tribute I believe for a little bit.
Hernando Malinche they still never got that far north and didn’t completely conquer novograd.
@Hernando Malinche what is the difference?
Soumi master race
Mongolia: I'm about end this world's whole career
Ming: hold my musket
@Hoàng Nguyên No, the Ming also ruled over Vietnam.
@Hoàng Nguyên You're talking about a small rebellion after the fourth Chinese domination of Vietnam and centuries of Vietnam being a Chinese tributary.
@Hoàng Nguyên You're clearly butthurt over Vietnam being historically ruled by China. Also China won the Sino-Vietnamese War.

The show Marco Polo on Netflix was pretty cool, sad that it was canceled...
I heard about it but never watched it
and why was it cancelled
@@homersimpson6585 because as with many Netflix shows they weren't making enough money from it.
I still wish they give season 3 a chance.

I will be satisfied with the War of the Pacific as an alternative.
Thanks for the birthday present dude. Love it when you put out a video. Keep up the good work.
Overall nice, (especially in presentation!) But the period after Mongke's death wasn't great. Hulegu withdrew from Syria, yes, but not to Karakorum and stayed in his own territory, soon fighting Berke Khan in 1262.
Likewise, Kublai wasn't inspired to continue on how battles because of Ayn Jalut, which certainly had no impact on his decisions. Rather, immediate strategic concerns were of greater concern, as was concern to build up his continued military reputation for making his claim to the Great Khanate (Kublai had had little for military roles prior to his campaigns against Dali and the Song, so he needed the reputation!).
Overall though, a sufficient, if brief coverage of a period which can be overwhelming for newcomers.
Thank you for the clarifications!
FINALLY! Thank you so much for uploading this! Yours is the first lengthy video talking about the fall of the Mongols. Most other videos are just God damn 5-8 minute sketch videos. Yours is actually lengthy yet succinct.
Thank God the Mongols had such a crappy succession system. They might've conquered the whole Eurasian land mass otherwise.
THB it's very similar to the HRE system of Prince Electors...
An empire so huge, built so quickly can't last for long no matter the succesion system
@@imperator7828 Not letting the khan name a successor before he died accelerated the demise. Led to rival factions making competing claims on the throne, also forced generals in the middle of campaigns to drop what they're doing and travel thousands of miles to Mongolia (this probably saved Europe).
@@ej11481 you're ignoring the impossibility for ruling over such a vast area for a lengthy amount of time, if anything saved europe its pretty much its own geographical position on this earth. Even if it was conquered (very densely populated as opposed to a large part of their empire) they wouldn't be able to hold it. The succesion problems you mention are also part of the barbarian nature of the mongols and nomads in general, they lacked the administrative prowess of other empires.
@@imperator7828 Read up on how the Mongol invasion of Europe ended in the 1240s. They had to turn back because Ogedei died and they had to choose a new Khan. And the infighting that took place in the subsequent years prevented any quick return.
This is the one youtuber that made me join one of their sponsors, I love this channel and I love history
i always love ur representation and narration, it doesnt look boring like it was. keep it up!!!!
Love your videos Man, keep on the good work
Great video, as always. One little problem though:
ARAL SEA
It used to be a big body of water back then :(
How a serious 'history' channel gets something like this wrong is unbelievable.
Very excited to see another upload!! Love you and your vids!!!
Great video as always! Loved the visuals and uncomplicated narration.
Though I would have loved to get to know more about what happened to the Western Khanates and their remnants today in the modern world.
Keep up the good work!
I love that you used the marco polo soundtrack in your videos.
Perfect video! I love your stuff
*scary noise in the bg*
Genghis: *You have disappointed me son!*
It was game over when the when Berke khan and the golden horde became Muslims
Berke was extremely angered by what Hulagu and the ilkhanate did to baghdad despite Hulagu having full knowledge that his own cousins and leader of the golden horde was Muslim he still went through with it
Also couple that with he already mounting tensions between Berke and Hulagu because of hulagu hogging the rich lands of persia leaving Berke with nothing but a shit ton of empty steppe
It ignited a huge war between them
Also Ariq bokke's rebellion against kublai after ogedais death
Mamluks managed to use this chaos to inflict a deadly string of defeats against the ilkhanate, they took back syria, parts of iraq and fully expelled a mongol-crusader alliance from the Levant after the second battle of homs
Baibars finished off what remained of the crusader states afterwards which led to the fall of antioch
Waited forever to finally be early and then forgot what to comment.
Amazing as always!
1:50 Zucc was a Mongol?
its joke I know but, Thats name is "Tamga" some kind of symbol that all Mongol and Turkish/Turkic families had , they had their own specific symbol, till to modern ages...
the picture at 5:15 is actually a depiction of the battle of Cheoin which took place in Korea. This was one of the few battles during which the commanding mongol general was killed in battle.
3:50 any remember music from the Marco Polo intro? Still one of the best intros ever to set the industry
And now only thing left are The HU
Altai kai i recommend
@@barsyelken2518 they are Turkic
@@OrkKhanobi No
@@tuguldursooyo4685 altai kai is turkic music group because altay people are turkic. I'm not talking about The Hu.
@@OrkKhanobi Altai people are Altai people dude , Terms like Turkic and Mongolic only came later to differentiate the language branch from the Altai Language.
Altai people = Nomadic tribes of Central Asia consisted of every nomads including Oghuz and Kipchak Turks , Mongols, Tuvans , Tungusic peoples...etc.
Don't be a turkic nationalist, I'm Mongolian and i have so many Turkic friends from Kazakhstan and Turkey, they too find your type of Every nomadic thing is turkic comments so cringe.
When your crown authority is low and your vassals conspire to achieve independence..
The fact the Mongol Empire influenced so much of our history, despite it only lasting for a short while is just astonishing. One of the Ilkhanate breakaway states would eventually become the Ottoman Empire, and finally subdue the Mamluks, the Rus subjects of the Golden Horde would form Muscovy, later becoming the Russian Empire, an Empire big enough to rival the size of their former Mongol overlords, the Chagatai Khanate would eventually form the Mughal Empire, lasting long enough to see the rise of the British Empire, the Vietnamese resistance of the Mongols being an eerie foreshadowing of the 1960s, and the Yuan laying the groundworks for the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and later, the People's Republic of China.
Great work Thank you
Technically the Mongols profited on some features that were used in a unique combination. The professional and newly organized army (in tumens), combined with quick horse archers with good bows and some siege equipment was very efficient at the time. So, the Mongols did very good in open field battles, but had very clearly their limits. Navally they relied on the Chinese with the attempted conquest of Japan and later on one occasion with Vietnam. These invasions had catastrophic outcomes, because they couldn't rely on their biggest advantage, the horse archer cavalaries. The jungle enviroment did not suit them either, that's because they were stopped three times in Vietnam. Clearly, in the jungle, you don't really have advantages from horseman.
Finally they were excellent against light fortifications, like forts or castles build from wood or earth. On the vast plains of the east this was very common. But they simply failed to take heavy stone fortifications in Europe. In case of the invasion of Hungary in 1241 that was a major mongol victory they never managed to take any main stone castles. This was practicurally the case in Esztergom were they were slaughtered at the walls and withdrew. So both in Poland and Hungary the monarchs started to build stone fortifications. This sealed the fate of the future Mongolian invasions.
So the Mongols seem to me very much like Alexander the Greats big empire. Their empire has been built up in just 40 years, had another 20-30 years of civil wars with little expansion and then it fell apart.
continue all that you do!
I don't know how this happened but I was literraly thinking about if there was a new video on the feature history channel and then feature history uploads this
Edit: this video was great keep up the good work
As someone whos watched all 14 minutes, great video
@Feature history
An excellent video, except for a mistake: the drawing in 5:15 is depicting the battle of Cheoin in Korea, not Vietnam
Very well done !
Last time I was so early, featured history was uploading videos.
Feature History, you are AWESOME! It’s because of you that I do History Lessons on my channel! Keep up the good work! Peace out and Rock on! ✌️ 🤘
Mongols raised the largest empire in history
British empire spanning qll sub continrnts and continents:
*hold my tea*
British empire conquer weak native population across the planet... Mongols conquer China, Russia and Persia
British empire was just a colonization, Turkic Mongol hordes ruled the world
Can you do an episode on the Rhodesian bush war
I wish people would expand more on the Mongol/Vietnamese conflicts.
Sino-Japanese wars next would be perfect!
Love Altan Urag playing in the background
The Mongols were a bit too chode by the time Kublai fell to the grave
An upload. Good I am pleased.
Also, Goryeo Empire fights against the influence of the Mongolian Empire.
Asia: _Exists_
Mongols: _So you have chosen... death._
India be like: You know what babe, I dont give a DAMM.
Vietnam, when the Mongols capture their capital: Call an ambulance!
Vietnam, beseiging the Mongols in their capital, decimating the Mongol fleet in the Bach Dang River and executing Ong Khan: *_But not for me._*

Hello feature history if your not aware the armchair historian has been having trouble with youtube and needs fellow historians to help him. Just spreading the news.
TH-cams screwing him
blessing sogbetun That’s not terribly descriptive. How is TH-cam screwing him?
Ya youtube has demontised most of his videos and stopped recommending his videos aswell
In turn meaning no money and now he can't pay his staff and even to some degree himself
TH-cam has been screwing everysingle History/Military/gun and even gaming channels.
Why does the ogadide family symbol look like the facebook logo?
I wonder if there was a single soldier that fought in the middle east, Europe and Asia during his lifetime. That would have been dope to witness.
Well Timurids also fought in India, Russia, Anatolia, Syria, Central Asia and almost China(if Timur didn't die before the campaign)
General Subutai did.
@Indian Empire ok
I was wondering what were your sources for creating this video @FeautureHistory, I want to learn more?
@ 4:52
And to this day, no one south of Tikrit speaks the way Abbasids used to: they'd killed so many people, the nomads to the south immigrating in, completely outnumbered the survivors.

Feature History: “see y’all again in like, a year and a half!!!”
That was a month ago? I must be so used to these upload schedules now
I still think those so called obscure empires would be just as well known if historians had just as much archaeological access to the areas they were in and as a result we would say that a lot of them had just as much effects on the local areas they controlled that can barely remember them mainly because they and many cultures from history have not been adequately researched

If you see that piece of land between the ilkhanate and the mediterenian sea, that's the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia, we made an alliance with Möngke khan by the way
One Armenian King, Het'um I, traveled all the way to Karakorum for the Mongols, and their close alliance is really fascinating. Bayarsaikhan Dashdondog wrote an excellent book on the subject, "The Mongols and the Armenians," which is well worth a read. As well, one contemporary Armenian, Kirakos Gandzateksi, wrote an account of the journey, which you can find an english translation of here: rbedrosian.com/kg1.htm, with the specific chapters at this link: rbedrosian.com/kg12.htm

Hardcore History's, Wrath of the Khans by Dan Carlin is highly recommended listen for anyone interested in the Mongol Empire.
At 3:50 you hear the theme song for Marco Polo.
12:35 I heard a little while back that a certain 20'th century man with a rectangular moustache and an anger management problem - used this *exact* reasoning to justify his invasions' of other countries in his book (you can't seem to buy it anywhere strangely enough). He even used Genghis Kahn as his example, in fact. I'm not saying you don't have a point or anything, it just seemed pertinent to mention it.
Mongols in Vietnam. What is this music I hear?
