filling a moat with prisoners then pushing siege works over the corpses is so insanely brutal that if I saw it in a movie I'd think it unrealistic overkill. my goodness.

I really struggle to see how the Shah thought antagonizing Ghenghis was gonna work out for him. Like, he knew how dangerous the Mongols were. His scouts had found the capital of the Jin-dynasty, his largest trading partner, a city where almost a million people lived, utterly destroyed. The Jin had around ten times his population, but he thought he could handle the force that destroyed them? "I don't know guys, these Mongols don't look that tough to me."

@@happyalphonse1456 Yeah the Japanese were saved twice by typhoons, but the _Javanese_ (Majapahit) deserve some credit for outsmarting the Mongols at their own game. The Javanese were in the middle of internal conflict when Kublai Khan invaded Indonesia, which you'd think would make them easy target for conquest. Instead, some clever Javanese faction led by a guy named Raden Wijaya feigned submission to Kublai Khan and convinced the Mongols the real resistance was his own rivals. Supported by his newfound "overlords," Wijaya went on to eliminate his enemies before finally turning on the Mongols, ambushing them while they got drunk during celebrations over their supposed "conquest" of Indonesia. The whole thing was planned from the start.
It's frightening how your king could make a decision which would subject you to these kinds of horrors. Defecting or surrendering was not an option. You just had to choose how you wanted to die
They wouldn't defect or surrender because they were raised to always keep your values and your word. Men back then were extremely loyal, disciplined, and lived by/for honor. Read this quote between a mother and messenger about her Spartan sons. To one, the messenger said, “Mother, I bring sad news: your son was killed facing the enemy.” The mother said, “He is my son.” “Your other son is alive and unhurt,” said the messenger. “He fled from the enemy.” The mother said, “He is not my son.”
Yeah, when people look at events like this and think it's justified, they're really missing the point that almost all the people who suffered did nothing and even had no idea what was going on
You have to understand that after Gheghis khan’s death. The expansion rapidly increased. And at its peak, Mongols were fighting Japanese Samurai, entire China, entire Muslim world, German Teutonic knights all at the same time. Very busy people.
That is insane. Any of those groups on their own would have been too much for most armies, but the fact the Mongols were expanding their empire and fighting them all at the same time is insanity. I'm surprised we're not all Mongolian lol.
@@Kamisama77 not ottomans. Ottomans fought Timur's empire which is not the same. Mongols fought against the Sultanate of Rum and Mamluks. But since the word "Mamluks" is new, it used to be called simply al-Dawla al-Turkiyya or the State of Turkey by Arabs during the same period due to the bulk of the army consisting of Turkic tribes and Circassians. During Mongol invasions, the Sultanate of Mamluk was governed by Ayyubid sultans therefore...Mongols got stopped by basically an Arabic dynasty with a Turkic army and court. About the notion of stopping Islamic influence...it actually never did. Because the Sultanate of Rum was already in turmoil during their invasion, it probably halted advance for like 40 years maximum. Also considering immediately after Temujin's death and the breakup of the Mongol empire newly formed Mongol states like Ilkhanate converted to Islam, it's hard to call it "stopping". More like...helped to solidify its influence.
Took me a minute to absorb that, so don't do anything your afraid to do but if you find yourself in the position anyways there's no point in being afraid.
I imagine when the Shah saw Genghis Khan for the first time, he had a red HP bar with a skull next to it. On a more serious note though, what a scary time to be alive, especially if you lived within those walls.
@@TurquazCannabiz I heard somewhere that Genghis Khan used to make his men rape his victims after sieges so if that’s true, I don’t think men had it easier than women

The Khwarazmian Empire was simply screwed here. At the time of this Mongolian invasion, the Mongols were at the peak of their power and unified under Genghis Khan. Their armies were campaign veterans and Genghis had a an array of top notch generals. Not only that, Genghis Khan led the invasion himself with his all star generals with him. Russia and a lot of Eastern Europe would feel this brutality also, the Khwarazmian Empire was only the first out west to be in line for it. The only reason the Mongol Invasion ended was due to Genghis Khan dying and protocol dictated the various leaders go home for the succession. With Genghis Khan's passing the Mongols were never quite as unified and focused as they were while being led by him.
@らてちゃん The great king died due to illness. His health worsened greatly when he fell off his horse during a hunt. It is considered a very bad omen for Mongols to fall from horseback.
@@ellenjones8695 What I meant with the end of the Mongol invasion was in general their western forays. When Genghis Khan died, he was out in the Far East and the Khwarazmian Empire was already long gone. Genghis Khan died in 1227. Already in the 1240s there's already the start of the power struggles for leadership. The 1260s brought outright civil war.
This amazing explosion of conquest, often against much bigger forces, took place in the thirteenth century. Supply and command structures must have had their practical limits, or most of Europe also might have been overrun

The audacity of the mongols to cross the Tian Shan mountains into Kwarazmian territory and the realisation of the Shah Mohammed. This part always gets me 🔥
He thought himself to be powerful and mighty, but in the end died being castrated by a Chinese princess. Temudjin was nothing but a lowly dog and a mass murderer who had no respect for the sanctity of human life. May he burn forever.
Imagine you are just going back home from a trip you did, traveling months, and seeing a piramid of skulls of the population of the town you were living and the rest is on fire. I think that is the closest we can get to hell on earth.
Afghanistan was an irrigated garden nation created by peaceful Buddhists. It is this that Mohammed II brutally built his Empire of Samarkand on, enslaving the locals without mercy. If you wonder why it looks as it does now, it's because of the Mongols.

It is artwork that most would like to pretend isn't part of humanity's past. You two combining your independent loves into this channel is the best Ive found so far. I will add. I just found you two today.
Fun fact: His grandson Hulagu Khan, after destroying Baghdad and capturing Damascus, actually extracted a vassal tribute from the Crusader Prince of Antioch.
Fun fact the Italian merchants literally just paid tribute when the the Mongols arrived. The Mongols wanted to sack the city but the merchants wanted trade, so there's kinda just city states on the black sea.
This is such a good video holy hell. It's such a brutal and jarring story written AND narrated to literal perfection. The oil painting-like depictions of scenes give the characters and locations life and real sense of recognition in your head. The story transitions are seamless and the music and pulsating battle themes are so thematically appropriate they just blend right in, but the video never dwells on one particular feature, it just hits you with back to back transitions of beautiful scenic hand crafted paintings and lively audio. My favorite scene was the description of the Mongol ravaging of China, it is such a horrific scene with eye catching imagery that really prods your imagination as to the true power and influence of the Mongol Empire. I wish I could like a TH-cam video more than once, seriously, you two need to continue to create stuff like this, because this is so incredibly unique while still being easily digestible to all kinds of audiences, this is amazing.
I'm glad that more and more people are starting to learn about the Mongol Empire under Genghis and his descendants because the stuff they accomplished PURELY in terms of military strategy and achievements and the scale and speed with which they accomplished it are completely unprecedented even to this day. The famous Mongolian horseback archery tactics and hit-and-run strategies are so hard to replicate realistically, even with CGI, that there has not been a single movie that actually depicts it with any sort of justice. The best way to see what the Mongols did to their enemies is probably by playing Mount and Blade: Bannerlord. On an open or mostly open plain, these dudes were never going to lose to anybody, not at their best. Temujin/Genghis Khan was literally an orphaned slave at one point, had to become man of the house as an on-the-run teenager, didn't have any of the advantages of Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, etc. (Aristotle was Alexander's tutor for crying out loud)--that is to say, he wasn't formally educated in any way that we would recognize today--and he took a bunch of what were essentially low-tech nomadic shepherds and hunters and conquered most of the known world with them. His descendants remained feared, respected, and in power for centuries. "Khan" remains a common last name in India. All of this is so absurdly impressive that even anime writers would have thought it was too ridiculous to turn into a script.
No doubt about Genghis's military genius and prowess. But at the same time, even by the standards of the time (many nasty rulers around those days) there is also no doubt he was a genocidal maniac and an unbelievably cruel conqueror.
his power was simple, he was not conquering to rule but to conquer only that is why he was this successful. he did not care about ruling the land at all
What do you mean "starting to learn"? You Zoomers think all of this is some secret knowledge...people have known about these things for many hundreds of years. It's good that some young people like you are enjoying learning history, but you're not leading some movement or anything. It's like how a lot of kids when they make jokes think they're so clever, but the jokes they tell have been around for thousands of years since the dawn of human civilisation
Also persian history seems to be actively erased from western schools for some reason. For example Roman emperors spoke in same standing with Persian kings, but you only see Roman and Greek historian versions, never the Persian version.

Honestly, man your work is really quality. Love the way how you tell the story of this as a skald or a bard. It feels like a horror story and yet fascinating
@@dsmith377 MANY other cultures did things very similar to the Mongols. The Arabs had heads of Turkic people mounted on spears , and these spears went from the cities they sacked to Syr Darya. They told cities to surrender and be spared , and sacked those cities as well. Not saying what the Mongols did was justified , just saying that people who followed Abrahamic religions heavily downplayed their own brutality while exaggarating the brutality of "heretics"
@@OljeiKhan I am not saying this false or downplaying anything but There's no connection for their brutality to Islam or any other religion except using its name for conquering lands. None of the abrhamic religions allows this kind of brutality.
@@OljeiKhan Uhhmmm, Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan were Buddhists actually. So this "abrahimic religions" thing doesn't hold. Why would a Muslim desecrate Mosques? To be fair, you need to say things as they are. That era was really dark. Very dark.. Hope we never see such brutality ever again.
Oh my this is unarguably the best Mongol history video I've ever seen, love your content and I love this era, you should probably make some videos related to the crusades, it'll definitely be my favourite series.
bro i am on a mission to raise awareness of your channel. you are the most underrated historical youtube channel period. please just keep it up, keep up the quality, direction and research and you will eventually get there. i genuinely love your videos.
A big oversight by the shah was that he thought they would be safe behind their city walls and castles against Genghis not knowing that the mongols have brought thousands of chinese siege engineers from their conquest of China and had time to become masters at siege warfare. Each city fell one by one and forcing many to either slowly die off or venture out into the open field and get annihilated. No where was safe and what was certain in the end was death. What a terrifying thought that is...
i think the Shah's reasoning is not entirely stupid. The Shah's rule is founded on his claim that he's a badass conqueror. Of course he cannot afford to look like he's scared of the Mongols. Thus he thought of challenging the mongols, but in a way that he could win. As mighty as the mongols were they have to travel from very far, supplies should prove difficult, and siege engines should be hard to come by, the Shah bet that even if the mongols attack, it has to be on a scale he can beat. Defeating the mongols should make him supreme ruler of the world indeed. Thus he place his bets. He just did not anticipate that all his calculations would be wrong: The mongols had no problem at all with supplies, thus can come in large numbers, and they are very very fast and can come from just about anywhere, and that they would be *extremely pissed off*. To say he bit off more than he can chew is a vast understatement...
One more thing to note is that he already fought a field battle against the Mongols before the invasion. They outnumbered the Mongols but couldn't deal a decisive blow. This may have contributed to a more defensive front.
@@tha1ne europe had a higher frequency of castles and much better and more isolated castles that over time could've stretched the Mongols thin although still its all speculation since it never ended up happening
Genghis Khan was the fiercest warrior of them all 💥 His lowly extremely humble beginnings in life is what formed and shaped that mighty man whose name will be forever bound to history. The mongol people to this day are fierce and resilient💥 Excellent video and research thankyou 🙏🏻
Oh stop crawling up his ass. The man was a murderous dog who had no respect or appreciation for the dignity of human life. And he's burning in Hell along with his sons and grandsons as we speak. He was a mass murderer, nothing more.
Nomadic Mongolians are very friendly people and value peace. If you try to disturb the peace of the Mongols, they turn into fierce beasts and don't stop until peace is achieved.
This is the best history video I’ve ever watched. The incredible art combined with the narration brought to life Genghis Khan and the Mongols in a genuinely terrifying way. I like your earlier content but this was just amazing, please keep making more videos like this.

Damn everyone is sleeping on the INCREDIBLE sound design of your videos. Paired with the stunning imagery, your videos are next to none. You should cover Zulu or Maori history next, mostly because I know you'd include an absolute banger of a war chant.
Thanks to the 86 tv series I realised how dramatic and exciting the rise of Shaka Zulu could be, he was a legend, an illegitimate son adopted by an enemy tribe who came back and conquered all other tribes and literally revolutionised warfare completely isolated from any foreign interference. Shame he was backstabbed by his brother. I do wonder how history might've turned out with Shaka Zulu and heirs conflicting with Britain further, I mean the Zulu managed to defeat the British with luck at the Battle of Asandlwana but perhaps im overstating or overexaggerating Shaka's smarts but I wonder if he could've dealt the British an even larger blow.
The beautiful art, choice of music and amazing narration you guys do is such a great job, not only with the entertainment but with getting the history correct. I think a great topic you guys would absolutely kill is Zheng He and the Chinese treasure fleet his story under the Ming dynasty would definitely be a great video.
Absolutely brilliant!!! The quality of this video is stunning! The music, the artwork, the storytelling. I was getting so many goosebumps and chills during the battle. Not even some big-budget movies have that effect on me. You have a new subscriber!
Poem by Persian Poet Abul Qasim Ferdowsi: "Listen: this story's one you ought to know, You'll reap the consequence of what you sow. This fleeting world is not the world where we Are destined to abide eternally: And for the sake of an unworthy throne You let the devil claim you for his own. I've few days left here, I've no heart for war, I cannot strive and struggle any more, But hear an old man's words: the heart that's freed From gnawing passion and ambitious greed Looks on kings' treasures and the dust as one; The man who sells his brother, as you've done, For this same worthless dust, will never be Regarded as a child of purity. The world has seen so many men like you, And laid them low: there's nothing you can do But turn to God; take thought then for the way You travel, since it leads to Judgment Day"
Thank you again History Dose. This was truly amazing! The beautiful art work is nearly as good as your story telling skills. Could listen for eternity.
There was very little the Mongols had to fear, they were the fiercist warriors in the world and were led by one of the greatest military leaders in history, Genghis Khan!
I wonder how demoralizing it must feel to have been a king or emperor and live to see your nation fall your sons killed wives and daughters taken as concubines everything you've known falls to nothing. That must be a next level feeling of failure
A king or Emperor should be wise , diplomatic and a keen observer .Shah Mohammed already knew the brutality of Mongols ,his emissaries reported to him the hell of the Zhongdu or Beijing. Without any preparation or prior intelligence he just undiplomatically provoked Genghis Khan. Never took any effort to learn how they managed to wiped out the Chinese empires.This Shah Muhammed and his petty royals like Inalchuq betrayed poor Iranians and made them scapegoats
I do think the Khwarazmians would of done much better with Jalal al-Din Mangburni in charge of the main force rather than his father. Even Genghis Khan himself acknowledged the bravery and courage of Jalal al-Din. And by the way, this video was outstanding!
Jalal al-Din was just like his father though, he was very prideful and also fashioned himself a conqueror. He refused to compromise or share booty with his allies and instead of forming alliances with his neighbours he plundered them.

Can't wait to watch the history dose telling, the best telling of this in writing is in one of the books from The Story of Civilization by Will Durant and in the later years also his wife and sometimes editor Ariel. Personally my favorite books of all time
This channel has quickly become one of it not my favourite history channels, even when the history is something I’ve already heard these videos bring a more vivid, human quality that a lot of history lacks. I cannot wait for the future videos and I hope that they cover the battle of Cannea, The revenge of saint Olga or the last stand of John Chapman.
I am from Uzbekistan, my grandfather is Kwarezmian nationality, i am Uzbek. And this was recommended to me by TH-cam, amazing video thank you for keeping the history of my people known. Jalloliddin Manguberdi lore before he ran to hide in India is great, battle for Samarkand is epic.

If you like the mongol history, go watch the movie Mongol. After having watched it, I saw a temporary exhibition in Denmark's best museum, and it turned out that the Russian produced movie had been completely faithful in its depiction of Temudjin. Even the costumes were spot on.
My biggest issue with that movie is the actual horseback combat. They leaned heavily into weird themes like dual sabres, which really weren't a thing with the Mongols at all. They were primarily horseback archers, secondarily lancers. They used shorter swords mostly as a last resort when they ran out of arrows/lost their lances, or after dismounting.
Faithful except temujin looks Japanese and not Mongolian one bit. They also took liberties suggesting he was a Chinese slave during his 20s, which haven’t been verified

But since the word "Mamluks" is new, it used to be called simply al-Dawla al-Turkiyya or the State of Turkey by Arabs during the same period due to the bulk of the army consisting of Turkic tribes and Circassians. During Mongol invasions, the Sultanate of Mamluk was governed by Ayyubid sultans therefore...Mongols got stopped by basically an Arabic dynasty with a Turkic army and court.
About the notion of stopping Islamic influence...it actually never did. Because the Sultanate of Rum was already in turmoil during their invasion, it probably halted advance for like 40 years maximum. Also considering immediately after Temujin's death and the breakup of the Mongol empire newly formed Mongol states like Ilkhanate converted to Islam, it's hard to call it "stopping". More like...helped to solidify its influence.
He fought muslims the most.

I imagine when the Shah saw Genghis Khan for the first time, he had a red HP bar with a skull next to it. On a more serious note though, what a scary time to be alive, especially if you lived within those walls.
well people living outside the walls didnt have better luck when the mongols rolled through.. killed all except for some women they took as fucktoys..
On the plus side, you didn’t have long to worry

"You're" means "you are". Do you really struggle so hard, or are you that lazy?
The Khwarazmian Empire was simply screwed here. At the time of this Mongolian invasion, the Mongols were at the peak of their power and unified under Genghis Khan. Their armies were campaign veterans and Genghis had a an array of top notch generals. Not only that, Genghis Khan led the invasion himself with his all star generals with him. Russia and a lot of Eastern Europe would feel this brutality also, the Khwarazmian Empire was only the first out west to be in line for it. The only reason the Mongol Invasion ended was due to Genghis Khan dying and protocol dictated the various leaders go home for the succession. With Genghis Khan's passing the Mongols were never quite as unified and focused as they were while being led by him.
@らてちゃん The great king died due to illness. His health worsened greatly when he fell off his horse during a hunt. It is considered a very bad omen for Mongols to fall from horseback.
@@ellenjones8695 What I meant with the end of the Mongol invasion was in general their western forays. When Genghis Khan died, he was out in the Far East and the Khwarazmian Empire was already long gone.
Genghis Khan died in 1227. Already in the 1240s there's already the start of the power struggles for leadership. The 1260s brought outright civil war.

The "I am the wrath of God" quote is so famous and chilling. Really gives you a great sense of the man.
Probably made up
He thought himself to be powerful and mighty, but in the end died being castrated by a Chinese princess. Temudjin was nothing but a lowly dog and a mass murderer who had no respect for the sanctity of human life. May he burn forever.

Best history Channel out there, the narration and artwork is something else.
They and Kings & Generals are top tier
Epic history tv and historymarche
Meditron be spitten straight facts tho. No dought this one has best illustration tho
Only english speaker to pronounce Genghis Khan right
Fun fact: His grandson Hulagu Khan, after destroying Baghdad and capturing Damascus, actually extracted a vassal tribute from the Crusader Prince of Antioch.
A Christian Crusader paying homage to a infidel pagan Mongol prince? Disgraceful!!
That or the Mongols kill them all and burn the city to the ground.
Hulagu was based
What is this a fun fact?
Fun fact the Italian merchants literally just paid tribute when the the Mongols arrived. The Mongols wanted to sack the city but the merchants wanted trade, so there's kinda just city states on the black sea.

This is such a good video holy hell. It's such a brutal and jarring story written AND narrated to literal perfection. The oil painting-like depictions of scenes give the characters and locations life and real sense of recognition in your head. The story transitions are seamless and the music and pulsating battle themes are so thematically appropriate they just blend right in, but the video never dwells on one particular feature, it just hits you with back to back transitions of beautiful scenic hand crafted paintings and lively audio. My favorite scene was the description of the Mongol ravaging of China, it is such a horrific scene with eye catching imagery that really prods your imagination as to the true power and influence of the Mongol Empire. I wish I could like a TH-cam video more than once, seriously, you two need to continue to create stuff like this, because this is so incredibly unique while still being easily digestible to all kinds of audiences, this is amazing.
It's always great to see a quality history creator get the recognition they deserve
I'm glad that more and more people are starting to learn about the Mongol Empire under Genghis and his descendants because the stuff they accomplished PURELY in terms of military strategy and achievements and the scale and speed with which they accomplished it are completely unprecedented even to this day.
The famous Mongolian horseback archery tactics and hit-and-run strategies are so hard to replicate realistically, even with CGI, that there has not been a single movie that actually depicts it with any sort of justice. The best way to see what the Mongols did to their enemies is probably by playing Mount and Blade: Bannerlord. On an open or mostly open plain, these dudes were never going to lose to anybody, not at their best.
Temujin/Genghis Khan was literally an orphaned slave at one point, had to become man of the house as an on-the-run teenager, didn't have any of the advantages of Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, etc. (Aristotle was Alexander's tutor for crying out loud)--that is to say, he wasn't formally educated in any way that we would recognize today--and he took a bunch of what were essentially low-tech nomadic shepherds and hunters and conquered most of the known world with them. His descendants remained feared, respected, and in power for centuries. "Khan" remains a common last name in India.
All of this is so absurdly impressive that even anime writers would have thought it was too ridiculous to turn into a script.
Dan carlins hardcore history educated the shit out of me ro learn about this topic
No doubt about Genghis's military genius and prowess. But at the same time, even by the standards of the time (many nasty rulers around those days) there is also no doubt he was a genocidal maniac and an unbelievably cruel conqueror.
his power was simple, he was not conquering to rule but to conquer only
that is why he was this successful.
he did not care about ruling the land at all
What do you mean "starting to learn"? You Zoomers think all of this is some secret knowledge...people have known about these things for many hundreds of years. It's good that some young people like you are enjoying learning history, but you're not leading some movement or anything. It's like how a lot of kids when they make jokes think they're so clever, but the jokes they tell have been around for thousands of years since the dawn of human civilisation

As someone that consistently receives similar compliments, I know for a fact you’d put me to shame, sir. You truly have a gift. Your word choice, your diction, and the order of events is simply amazing. I was enthralled the entire time. Please, please, please, I’m begging you guys to keep making more videos because they’re just so good, every single time 😭😭.
The coolest thing about history is that most times history is so unbelievably more brutal than we think that when we watch about it in tv or movies it doesn’t even do justice to what actually happened.
Honestly, man your work is really quality. Love the way how you tell the story of this as a skald or a bard. It feels like a horror story and yet fascinating
I knew Genghis Khan was OP but whoa. I've read this story in fragments in the past, but putting it all together, the whole thing is just...wow.
the fact there was an entire culture that could do such things to such a scale is that humanity can be extremely dark in its ways.
@@dsmith377 MANY other cultures did things very similar to the Mongols. The Arabs had heads of Turkic people mounted on spears , and these spears went from the cities they sacked to Syr Darya. They told cities to surrender and be spared , and sacked those cities as well.
Not saying what the Mongols did was justified , just saying that people who followed Abrahamic religions heavily downplayed their own brutality while exaggarating the brutality of "heretics"
@@OljeiKhan Interesting to hear what the Arabs did to Turkic peoples, coming from a Turk. I believe you.
@@OljeiKhan I am not saying this false or downplaying anything but
There's no connection for their brutality to Islam or any other religion except using its name for conquering lands. None of the abrhamic religions allows this kind of brutality.
@@OljeiKhan Uhhmmm, Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan were Buddhists actually. So this "abrahimic religions" thing doesn't hold. Why would a Muslim desecrate Mosques? To be fair, you need to say things as they are. That era was really dark. Very dark.. Hope we never see such brutality ever again.

Your make learning about history fascinating. Also love how wide and international the historical topics you cover are.
A big oversight by the shah was that he thought they would be safe behind their city walls and castles against Genghis not knowing that the mongols have brought thousands of chinese siege engineers from their conquest of China and had time to become masters at siege warfare. Each city fell one by one and forcing many to either slowly die off or venture out into the open field and get annihilated. No where was safe and what was certain in the end was death. What a terrifying thought that is...
@@ABCD-xg6nr Then he shouldn't of spread his forces garrisoning all his cities hence the oversight.
i think the Shah's reasoning is not entirely stupid. The Shah's rule is founded on his claim that he's a badass conqueror. Of course he cannot afford to look like he's scared of the Mongols. Thus he thought of challenging the mongols, but in a way that he could win. As mighty as the mongols were they have to travel from very far, supplies should prove difficult, and siege engines should be hard to come by, the Shah bet that even if the mongols attack, it has to be on a scale he can beat. Defeating the mongols should make him supreme ruler of the world indeed. Thus he place his bets.
He just did not anticipate that all his calculations would be wrong: The mongols had no problem at all with supplies, thus can come in large numbers, and they are very very fast and can come from just about anywhere, and that they would be *extremely pissed off*. To say he bit off more than he can chew is a vast understatement...
tell that to all the european fanboys who think europe wouldve stood a chance against the mongols because "muh castles" lmao
One more thing to note is that he already fought a field battle against the Mongols before the invasion. They outnumbered the Mongols but couldn't deal a decisive blow. This may have contributed to a more defensive front.
@@tha1ne europe had a higher frequency of castles and much better and more isolated castles that over time could've stretched the Mongols thin although still its all speculation since it never ended up happening
Genghis Khan was the fiercest warrior of them all 💥 His lowly extremely humble beginnings in life is what formed and shaped that mighty man whose name will be forever bound to history. The mongol people to this day are fierce and resilient💥 Excellent video and research thankyou 🙏🏻
Oh stop crawling up his ass. The man was a murderous dog who had no respect or appreciation for the dignity of human life. And he's burning in Hell along with his sons and grandsons as we speak. He was a mass murderer, nothing more.
The most fierced? Very debatable
Nomadic Mongolians are very friendly people and value peace. If you try to disturb the peace of the Mongols, they turn into fierce beasts and don't stop until peace is achieved.

You should cover Zulu or Maori history next, mostly because I know you'd include an absolute banger of a war chant.
I want a cover of nubian conquest of egypt and anglo ashanti wars.
Thanks to the 86 tv series I realised how dramatic and exciting the rise of Shaka Zulu could be, he was a legend, an illegitimate son adopted by an enemy tribe who came back and conquered all other tribes and literally revolutionised warfare completely isolated from any foreign interference. Shame he was backstabbed by his brother. I do wonder how history might've turned out with Shaka Zulu and heirs conflicting with Britain further, I mean the Zulu managed to defeat the British with luck at the Battle of Asandlwana but perhaps im overstating or overexaggerating Shaka's smarts but I wonder if he could've dealt the British an even larger blow.

Poem by Persian Poet Abul Qasim Ferdowsi:
"Listen: this story's one you ought to know,
You'll reap the consequence of what you sow.
This fleeting world is not the world where we
Are destined to abide eternally:
And for the sake of an unworthy throne
You let the devil claim you for his own.
I've few days left here, I've no heart for war,
I cannot strive and struggle any more,
But hear an old man's words: the heart that's freed
From gnawing passion and ambitious greed
Looks on kings' treasures and the dust as one;
The man who sells his brother, as you've done,
For this same worthless dust, will never be
Regarded as a child of purity.
The world has seen so many men like you,
And laid them low: there's nothing you can do
But turn to God; take thought then for the way
You travel, since it leads to Judgment Day"
Very beautiful & true !
Works for everyone & every situation
Completely unrelated to this episode and this verse was dedicated to the usurper of the Samanid throne, Mahmud of Ghazni.
Thank you again History Dose. This was truly amazing! The beautiful art work is nearly as good as your story telling skills. Could listen for eternity.
There was very little the Mongols had to fear, they were the fiercist warriors in the world and were led by one of the greatest military leaders in history, Genghis Khan!
I wonder how demoralizing it must feel to have been a king or emperor and live to see your nation fall your sons killed wives and daughters taken as concubines everything you've known falls to nothing. That must be a next level feeling of failure
A king or Emperor should be wise , diplomatic and a keen observer .Shah Mohammed already knew the brutality of Mongols ,his emissaries reported to him the hell of the Zhongdu or Beijing.
Without any preparation or prior intelligence he just undiplomatically provoked Genghis Khan.
Never took any effort to learn how they managed to wiped out the Chinese empires.This Shah Muhammed and his petty royals like Inalchuq betrayed poor Iranians and made them scapegoats
I do think the Khwarazmians would of done much better with Jalal al-Din Mangburni in charge of the main force rather than his father. Even Genghis Khan himself acknowledged the bravery and courage of Jalal al-Din.
And by the way, this video was outstanding!
Jalal al-Din was just like his father though, he was very prideful and also fashioned himself a conqueror. He refused to compromise or share booty with his allies and instead of forming alliances with his neighbours he plundered them.
May be but the he still would have been annihilated by the Mongols

Can't wait to watch the history dose telling, the best telling of this in writing is in one of the books from The Story of Civilization by Will Durant and in the later years also his wife and sometimes editor Ariel. Personally my favorite books of all time
This channel has quickly become one of it not my favourite history channels, even when the history is something I’ve already heard these videos bring a more vivid, human quality that a lot of history lacks.
I cannot wait for the future videos and I hope that they cover the battle of Cannea,
The revenge of saint Olga or the last stand of John Chapman.

If you like the mongol history, go watch the movie Mongol. After having watched it, I saw a temporary exhibition in Denmark's best museum, and it turned out that the Russian produced movie had been completely faithful in its depiction of Temudjin. Even the costumes were spot on.
Thanks will check it out
It's a fine film. There was supposed to be a second part but it has not come to fruition sadly.
My biggest issue with that movie is the actual horseback combat. They leaned heavily into weird themes like dual sabres, which really weren't a thing with the Mongols at all. They were primarily horseback archers, secondarily lancers. They used shorter swords mostly as a last resort when they ran out of arrows/lost their lances, or after dismounting.
Faithful except temujin looks Japanese and not Mongolian one bit. They also took liberties suggesting he was a Chinese slave during his 20s, which haven’t been verified
