Why'd you redo the narration and left Alex's out? Also what up with him? Amazing video regardless
Yours is the only icon in the entirety of my Notifications feed that is animated and I absolutely hate it.
يا اخي ممكن تضيف الترجمه الى العربية 😭😁👍
HistoryMarche could you tell me what editor you use!
Love your videos!
Hannibal not pillaging Fabius' property but everyone else's is the most baller psychological move.
Yeah I also noticed that... So funny it also actually seemed to have an impact on the political situation. Very sneeky move, I like it :D It shows us he did payed attention to a lot more dimensions that could impact the outcome of his expedition then just the tactical situation.
@@Yourebeautyfull Speaks volumes of his genius not only military but politically
He picked that move up from the Peloponnesian war.
Alexander did that 100 years earlier
Comes under both tactics and strategy 🔥
Hannibal is the personification of "But wait! There's more!"
Hehe, pretty much.
also "Watch out of your back"
'But what the roman general didn't realise'
that’s not personification
He's Dj Khaleed, "another one"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hannibal: Defeats several armies, kills Consul and wipes out several legions
Rome: Ok, see you next year.
He simply didn't have that '' white man '' mentality of dominance he could have besieged Rome asked for reinforcements from Carthage burn the city to the ground but he wasn't that kind of men.
On the other hand the Romans were simply savages when they besieged Carthage they killed everyone burned everything.
@@elkhalilmadani5889 we can't all be winners 😎
@@dylannewton9986 you won what exactly? Arabs came back few centuries and destroyed what was left from the roman empire in a couple of years. And they burned 2 cities.
Winning the hearts is the true conquest.
@@elkhalilmadani5889 Winners focus on winning,Losers focus on Winners
@@elkhalilmadani5889 unlikely he could have successfully seiged it.
His men were suffering from scurvy and stuff like that. And hes at his best when he can use the battlefield. Clever maneuvers and all that.
Sitting locked in a siege, he would have to fight where and when the Roman's decided to Sally forth.
Ceaser would have been able to do it. But he was better at battling in terrain like that where his soldiers could simply adjust it to his liking. Hannibal was the best mobile commander, he wasnt suited to commanding a seige
Honestly speaking this is a gem.. Sad we are paying Netflix to watch fake documentaries and watching this incredible video without giving him credit
Netflix and other mainstream media are full of rubbish with plenty of hidden agenda by the Billionaire evil intentions.
And they aired "Cuties"... Sick m***f***rs
Netflix claims we have all your favorites, oh really (Looks through it) I don't see my favorite cartoons here or anything interesting to me. Liars!
(Looks at TH-cam and sees this.) Oh....Netflix take notes.
you can support them by choosing others streaming platforms,curiositystream is cheap but its a gold mine of documentary, I was septical before subscribing but its worth
@@Abdominotron i did subscribe that long 8 months ago
Yes, athough there are now many good history channels on TH-cam, both military and general, this channel possibly takes the cake. Extraordinarily well-done-the combination of both small- and large-scale animation and the excellent narration (as well as the softness of the accompanying sound effects and music, which disturb so many other channels), make this superb.
"Hannibal? Yeah. He brought elephants through the Alps."
But now, your efforts made me realize how exactly Hannibal is respected just as Napoleon and Alexander. Thank you for this!
I do find it funny that hes known mostly for getting the elephants through.
And those elephants were wiped in his first battle.
Might as well have left the elephants at home
@@kharnthebetrayer8251 I think he knew that most of it will die from the weather or in battels. It's just a propaganda
Hannibal is good tactically but not strategically.
So not sure he is at Napoleon or Alexander level.
He is tactically amazing. But strategically not.
He wanted to win battles but not the war.
Still great , great, with some elements where he did not focus.
@@innosanto you can say the same thing about Napoleon. Trying to invade Russia was his downfall, the continental system was a failure and getting into the peninsular war the way he did was not a great idea either. Ultimately losing sides will learn from the winning ones and either copy them or find flaws they can exploit and every commander has their flaws. It's great to learn about them.
@@innosanto ….napoleon had good strategy? How?, not to mention everything alexander conquered outside of europe fell apart immediately after his death
The Fabian Strategy: "Can't lose if you don't fight."
Damn you Sun Tzu!
@@iamhorny4542 I think Hannibal and the Numidian generals Massinissa etc far surpassed Sun Tzu completely... In Theodore Doges book (he analyzed Levi and Polybius and a bunch of others) he says a Numidian contingent followed the Romans up to a fortified city and laid Siege to it for 2 days.. With no equipment at all, not even armour for their soldiers, all of them just on horses with javelines.. I don't even understand how that's possible 😂😂 Humans used to be so much cooler than we are now
@@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200 maybe they just encircled the city and waited until they starved out??
thats a legit strategy if you dont have a deadline "food ,supplies, a city to defend etc "

Thank you so much! I'm working on Part 11, the Battle of Cannae. It should be released sometime in August.
@@HistoryMarche Any new dates?
say that again!
Literally all of Hannibals great battles:
"their army walked right into Hannibal's trap"
Of which Hannibal baited the enemy into walking into
When asked if the Roman army caused problems, Hannibal is reported to have said, "Super easy. Barely an inconvenience!"
Hannibal: HA! YoU HAve Aktivated me trep cord
“I can beat them with my good eye closed”
@@-aaron-9971 Hannibal is the only man to ever exist who knew what Pot of Greed does!
Fabius catches a lot of heat from people even now, but he really did keep Rome in the fight and the move to keep Minucius as his second was a good one.
Agreed 100%. You can even tell that Rome was in trouble. By the end of 217 BC they even had trouble fielding an army of equal size to Hannibal's (CAR 50k vs ROM 40k). I mean, they had the manpower, but untrained manpower. So by saving this last army that they could field in 217 BC, Fabius essentially preserved all of Roman alliances in the south - had they lost this army, I could bet my last dollar that many areas of southern Italy would've switched sides.
And as for keeping Minucius, absolutely. Maintaining the status quote is important to keep the morale of the troops. Making too many disruptions would've been a bad idea, especially after they were just battered at Geronium. Overal, Fabius was QUITE a competent commander.
They had a whole load of competent and good commanders. Sadly Carthage had only one. His brothers and Gisgo were some of the worst commanders in the war and lost repeatedly, despite their one success, they achieved little afterward.
@@kivati Mago was a really good general. Without Mago lots of battles would have been lost. Same with Maharbal
@@Jean_Jacques148 Mago was a fine officer, and I was maybe a little hard on him, but honestly, their defence of Spain was terrible. Mago as a general in his own right is probably less than average, in that even average Roman generals could best him. He was a fine officer to put in charge of men in the field as part of a broader plan, but as overall general, def not.
You guys needs to do a classic movie on this, I'm sure it will have more than 6 seasons and will surely outshine the Spartacus series
Honestly Hannibal is my favorite general to ever exist. I am glad to see him get the recognizatuon he deserves
He is a decent general compared to the godlike Subutai.
@@jamesson1154 Nah, no way. Hannibal was a genius, he defeated a superior force in the field through shear unrivaled battlefield coordination and genius level moves. The Mongols just chose the Scythians in RTW which is just a total cheat button.
Hes the best. The second one is Khalid al Walid . Both of them are master strategist.
I like how when Minucius admitted to Fabius he was wrong about being aggressive, Fabius accepts that he learned his lesson and let him back into his general staff
Wow I never really knew much about Hannibal but he's right up there with Alexander in my book. He was a master at improvising on the fly using the terrain to his advantage. Guy was a beast on the battlefield.
Working on part 19 right now. Quite a few more episodes to go.
When you get to Cannae, you MUST begin by saying: " Ah, yes. You've all been waiting for this, haven't you ?! "
Hehe,
Or troll and skip over it......
@Jason Blahino I know
If only Hannibal got the support that was required. Great content, love the documentary!
Much appreciated! Working on part 11 now.

@@ivanchristophersaldana119 and fire of learning!

Another reason why Hannibal may not have seiged Rome is because his own food stock was limited, and he relied on foraging, so a several months siege would have essentially been a double edged sword, when his own army was forced to be stationary.
As you mentioned earlier, Hannibal depended on maneuverability and didn't want to be sandwiched at the gates of Rome, considering he may have been acting on imperfect information regarding the location and size of armies in the area.
Its easy to judge these guys when at that time they had to rely on scouts, spies and cavalry to get information on the enemy.
I think.he didnt, because he was constantly needing to get enough supplies for his troops, so staying in 1 place would make that difficult.
And, hannibal was a field commander.
When he picked that battle and the terrain, he could do anything
But in a siege. Hed have to fight when the Roman's sallied out.
Likely Ceaser could have done that fight, but he and his troops were far better at building and using fortifications, but I doubt Ceaser would have won the fights hannibal did. Ceaser was great, but I dint see him winning Canae.
So hannibal was the only one who could get to that position.
But isn't a seige commander who could take Rome
@@marshalsoult3860 exactly, intel was mostly false anyways and it took forever to get there
@@grief6052 yep. difficult terrain, ambushes… which leads to skirmishes

@@cheriefsadeksadek2108
And how? They feared an Invasion on Carthago and needed Soliders in Spain and they would have needed to march the soldiers from Spain to Italy because Roman Navy strong!
I ask you : How could the Leadership of Carthago have helped ?
The buildup kills... literally.
Hype! I'm working on it :)
Its one of them imminent masterpieces you just know it. Something on Austerlitz level for your time
@@HistoryMarche Take your time on this one big boy ; )
@@HistoryMarche When's Cannae gonna come out?
@@HistoryMarche Super excited for it, you present the efforts of this great general in a very engaging, concise and easily followed manner. It's like watching a moving outline of the historical epic of Hannibal, just waiting to be read into a cinematic series that could easily rival Game of thrones.
I feel like the scurvy and mange his troops were sustaining, as outlined in the video when he crossed the mountains for his troops to regain their health and horses, is probably the most likely explanation of why Hannibal didn't immediately besiege Rome.
And food and the position was not good for him
Also coming to terms with losing sight in one eye.
And if the siege takes too long, Rome pacifies some of the countryside, raises more troops, continues to raze your homeland...no time to risk the siege, especially as you said with an already weakened army.
I was thinking that Hannibal understood Roman politics and knew that they’d rotate new less competent generals over again. I’d also reckon he had spies reporting on the political situation and instructed them to incense them to boot out the Roman general after geronium (the general that almost trapped Hannibal)
his troops were worn down most likely worried about the army from the north and siege warfare didn't look like his thing he wanted a battle in open fields
Hannibal and Alexander both have the same thing. both of their fathers (Hamilcar and Phillip) trained and raised an army, both have plans to defeat their enemies (Rome and Persia), but died before it could happen so their children inherited their plans. Alexander crossed the Hellespont even though the Persians is still the master of the sea, while Hannibal crossed the alps, both men defeated their enemies in battle even though they're outnumbered (Cannae and Gaugamela)
Cyrus the Great >>> both them Cyrus had nobody
@@ADM_Tovil-Toba If you want to win, you have to sacrifice. Hannibal didn't have many options and in a moment of madness said: "For hell, let's cross the Alps!" He simply had no choice, and the Invasion of Rome by sea was not possible.
@Rouvenor Alexander was a King with absolute power over his strategic mission, Hannibal had to wait for commands from politicians back home, so they're in different situations. In Battle tactics only, they belong to the same class
@@yaqubleis6311Babylon was weak and decadent l. If not for him someone else would have defeated them and conquered them.
@@yaqubleis6311If we are going into that, then Sumerians were even more impressive, since they didn't even have a power structure to take over, they built up the idea of a consolidated kingdom whereas Cyrhus used the blueprint laid out by the Assyrians.
"Hannibal, you know how to win great victories, but you dont know what to do with them" - Maharbal.
It's hard to past judgement my friend that happened there.
If I ever end up getting put in charge of a show, I'm definitely going to make a Hannibal mini-series. It sounds like a gold-mine of drama and spectacle waiting to happen.
I'm thinking the same
When is this movie coming out in the cinemas?
I think HistoryMarche is better than any movies for covering the punnics wars!
A trilogy would be ideal, like HBO's Rome. But, yeah, currently state of affairs in hollywood, would make this movie/series impossible, full of cliches and "modern" values drivel. Second punic war is too hard, complex to nail. Regardless, it could be an amazing effort, if the script would be neutral. For example,The public should sympathise with both Scipio and Hannibal.
43:40 - 54:00 no caption
@@budibausto was thinking similar to you but with two series one focused solely from the roman perspective of their generals and armies seeing their countrysides raised to the ground and how fearful/angry they must have been that this tyrant called hannibal would march on Rome.. On the battle scenes focus solely on what they thought was the case and their over Confidence or mistakes.
On the second series look at the same stuff but solely from the cathaginian perspective of being gloriously led through the alps and being successful in decimating roman legions and the amount of arguing and how tf hannibal managed to organise and control armies of different ethnicities and languages and really focus on how he managed to organise the ambushes.
Hannibal will be played by Idris Elba
Flavinius played by Al Pacino
Hannibal's Wise-Cracking-Talking-Horse played by Bob Odenkirk
Roman Senate played by The Rock
Hannibal was just trolling Roman legions he was a fckin master of strategy
there's a difference between tactics and strategy
@@stopit3869 no shit
He was a gift from the Gods , God's secret weapon.
@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu ah clever word play
He was a tactical god but he failed to match strategy and tactics, which means maybe he shouldn't have been in overall command. He couldn't see the bigger picture or the whole war, he just wanted to bleed Rome. In his defense, even if he failed to put any pressure on the city itself or cause enough panic that would force Rome to withdraw legions from somewhere else, any other culture would have offered terms after Cannae. The Romans were just more stubborn than Hannibal.
this is the greatest history channel on youtube, and this series is an award-deserving treat
I agree! 😊
You know . . . .some day this war. . . is going to be over .. . (looks down and sheds a tear) - awesome compilation
Hey man, awesome to see you here. A few sound glitches. Think there was an issue with YT processing or something.
@@HistoryMarche I think that can happen when you upload mega files. This thing must have taken hours to upload
Thanks to both of you for providing such epic accounts of the Punic wars. Great work guys!!
what an amazing general. Possibly the best of all time? That ambush was unbelievable.
The Person talking is one of the best roman story tellers of all time... great production 👏
The strategy of Arminius at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9AD) when Arminius funneled the Romans under Varus to march directly by a swamp while Arminius attacked from concealed positions on hills driving the Romans into the bogs is surprisingly akin to that of Hannibal's tactics at Lake Trasimene.
Awesome work. One of history's greatest generals finally gets the series he deserves. A look at his full campaign reveals so much more about Hannibal than just the single battle which too many focus on and then move on to other generals in other wars. I am soooo looking forward to when the other great general of the time enters the story. I hope he gets similar depth despite this being titled Hannibal. No spoilers.
Thank you sir. Working on part 11. It's a very big project. Should be finished in a few weeks.
Of all of Hannibal's battle victories during the 2nd Punic War, Cannae gets all the plaudits, rightfully so I guess. But personally I have always held the Battle of Lake Trasimene in slightly higher regard. That ambush was pure tactical genius. Setting up your army like that at night without leaving any trace, coordinating the attack!!! Pure Genius...bombed I always found this channel now (as i proceed to binge your videos lol)
A little late for a response, but I certainly agree. It was highly similar to Napoleon’s Battle of Austerlitz
Sacking Rome would abruptly end Hannibal’s fun
Great video History Marche!
Really excited for the Battle of Cannae!
Cheers :)
Please stop teasing and just give me Cannae
We already have fucktons of videos about it, it's literally the most known battle.

Great to see so many Romanian names among your patrons. This channel is absolute quality.

The quality of this is great.
Hannibal needs movies and shows made about his military campaign.
I truly feel sad for the people that don't know about this channel 😔
Thank you Hm you are one of the treasures of TH-cam !
So nice of you
XD if only history class in school was like this i may have actually passed
The visual and the score is perfect. But wat i like the most is the narration. Such an outstanding ,educating ,high quality channel. Ty sir, ty.
That's so nice of you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, I just broke my mouse thinking this was Cannae. The cliffhanger is literally killing me.
Usually with stuff like this I root for the Romans. Idk why, maybe it's just cause I'm familiar with them. But for this, I was rooting for Hannibal, he's definitely my favourite historical general
On the season finale... That's the most badass depiction of Hannibal btw, he looks like a hardened, quick witted veteran.
Still more to go in the series. I grouped the first 10 episodes into 2 x 1-hour long videos. I'm working on part 11 now, and there should be 4-5 episodes after that.
I've lost track of the number of times I've watched this Playlist.
I have been watching parts 1 and 2 intermittently all day, and its so nice to see the progression in rendering, sound, recording, graphics, y'all do a fantastic job of relaying history and giving us a overarching tactical sense of every situation. Thank you.
Thank you sir. Much appreciated!

@@HistoryMarche When can we expect the release, approximately? The hype is real!
@@ghostrider.49 me too Canea video is going to be the best this proofs that if carthage supported Hannibal he could of easily ended rome
cherief Sadek sadek they were losing in other fronts
@@ngnxtan only one front really mattered. Hannibal never went against Rome because he simply lacked confidence of knowing he has the full support and he won't be caught in the middle of the siege. Besieging usually leaves the besieger vulnerable to being hemmed in (although Hannibal was a master of getting un-hemmed).
Tunisia - Carthage is considered one of the most important civilizations known in the Mediterranean in the world before the birth of Christ, as were the Greek and Roman civilizations as well as the Pharaonic. The center of this republic - the empire that has prevailed in the Mediterranean for centuries is the city of Carthage, which is located in the north of Tunisia, not far from the Tunisian capital, which was founded after Carthage about fifteen centuries, but the latter was transformed by urban expansion to one of its suburbs.
Legend has it that Carthage was founded by the Phoenician princess Alisa as the Tunisians call her or Elissar / Elisa as it was called in the Levant, or Didon as Westerners call her. Alisa or Alissar from the Lebanese city of Tire came fleeing from her brother who killed her husband, and tells that there is a priest who told her that her fate is to establish a city off a mountain that has two horns, so she wandered in the sea until she reached what is today the Gulf of Tunis, where there is the mountain with two horns ( Jabal Buqarnin as it is called today).
The princess offered the local people to buy from them a plot of land with an area of a bull's skin, so she had what she wanted, and it was only that she cut the skin of the ox and turned it into a long thin thread and on the area surrounded by this thin thread, and cunningly only mastered by the Phoenician merchant, she got Alisa Or left on a large area on which the city of Carthage was founded, or "Qarat Hadasht", meaning the modern village or the new city. The new Mediterranean metropolis has grown, grown, prospered, and outperformed the rest of the surrounding Phoenician cities in various fields and has become an economic and military power for which a thousand accounts are read.
Conflict with the Greeks and the Persians
The history books recount that the Carthage army confronted the invaders from Persia who were changing the Phoenician cities and defended relentlessly on the possessions of Tire despite the distance and the short periods of time. Some likened the Carthaginian aid to the city of Tire with the help the United States provided to Britain during World War II as if it were a beautiful response from the modern superpower to the country of origin.
The Carthaginians also fought wars against the Greeks to control the centers of influence in the Mediterranean Sea for centuries, and the Roman Empire actually existed on the Mediterranean scene. At some point, the Carthaginians managed to destroy the islands of Crete and Malta, which speaks to this day the Punic Carthage language, despite the insistence of the Greeks to acquire them as they are the keys to controlling the Mediterranean. In the context of the competition for influence in the Mediterranean between Carthage and the countries of the Greeks, the legend tells the story of the two brothers, Vilene Carthaginians, which remained a title of sacrifice and redemption for the sake of the homeland for generations. The Tunisian historian Mohamed Hussein Fintar says this story: «When Carthage decayed the greater part of Africa, it was a Qurain city rivaled by wealth and power. And there were sprawling springs between the two cities, and nothing limits their monotony. There is no river in them and no mountain separating the two countries, which led to a fierce war that lasted for a long time. The armies wrestled overland, wrestled by sea, and the war remained a contest that exhausted the two opponents' forces without success.
And when the two cities were afraid of falling prey among the claws of a third party, taking advantage of the weakness of the victor and the vanquished, they benefited from a truce to conclude the following agreement: On a specific day, the two cities appointed two representatives from each of them departing from the borders of the homeland and the meeting point recognized by the two peoples. Carthage appointed the two brothers, Velin, who hastened to proceed very quickly. The course of the Qureans (the Greeks) was slow. Was this a matter of inaction, or was it an unexpected event? we do not know! In those areas, the storm impedes the walking, as it does in the desert as it does in the sea.
When the two Koreas realized that they were too late, fearing the accusation of treason and the resulting punishment, the two brothers, Flynn, were accused of leaving their homes before the specified time, and we appealed the outcome of the debate. And when that was so, the Carthaginians requested that other conditions be set to be fair, and the Greeks left for them the choice between wading the two brothers Vellin in the place they wanted to draw the borders of their countries or letting the Qureans advance in the same circumstances to the place they wanted. The brothers, Flynn, sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country.
Conflict with Rome
Rome became a nascent young empire emerging centuries after Carthage over the Mediterranean and it was incumbent upon the modern emerging power (Rome) to displace the aging empire (Carthage) that took its time and further. Carthage controlled vast lands that stretched over the whole northwestern African coast, all the way to the Strait of Gibraltar, which was called the Strait of Malqarat, after the Carthaginian leader Abd Malqarat Baraka, the father of Hannibal. Carthage also took control of the Iberian Peninsula, where it established many cities, including Cartagena and Barcelona (relative to the Barca family of Carthaginian, from which Hannibal and his father Abd al-Malqrat came from, as well as Sadal al-Adil) and its influence reached southern France.
Carthage controlled important Mediterranean islands such as Greek Crete and Malta, as well as Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Palearians. East reached the Libyan Gulf of Sirte, where it signed a border agreement with the Greeks, who were controlling the Egyptian Mediterranean coast and eastern Libya.
Although it was at the end of its reign, Carthage fought three major wars against the Romans that lasted for many years and ended with the burning of Carthage at the hands of the Roman commander Sibiun. These epics were known for the emergence of a star of great leaders who gained wide fame, including Abd Melqarat Barka (Amilcar) and his son Hannibal, who crossed the Alps with his elephant and legions of his armies, and besieged Rome for nearly ten years and fought several battles, the most important of which was the famous Battle of Kannai.
Scouts people
The Carthaginians paid attention, early and before others, to the importance of the African continent. They sailed in the Atlantic Ocean, which the Arabs feared and called it a "sea of darkness" and established their settlements in West Africa along the African coast. Perhaps the most famous expedition is the journey of the traveling ruler Hanoun, which took place around the fifth century B.C. and was recorded and famous, unlike the rest of the trips.
The Carthaginians also reached the British Isles across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea, on the outskirts of Scandinavia, in search of tin and all that benefited the empire. These commercial trips were preceded by the famous expedition of Halcalon or the Giant, who opened the door wide to the Carthage merchants to expand their trade circle to include the northern old continent across the sea.
He recounts that the Carthaginians also reached the American continent, given what was mentioned in some books of the Greeks that talked about a vast land beyond the ocean that was a source of the wealth of the Carthaginians. Also, Carthage coins were found containing an approximate image of the world map, including a large land area, located directly after the sea, which is supposed to be the Atlantic Ocean.
After seeing the last video, anyone could think that it is the end of Hannibal, but this man, turned into a true god of war, never doubted his abilities. The Romans did not know it yet, but Hannibal is not the one who was surrounded, it was the Romans who were surrounded.

Races getting mixed doesn't remove the fact that Carthage was Tunisia's ancestors

2:09 Uesugi audio clip buffled me for a short while, for a sec i thought i opened another window.
A shameful display!
I'll always click, whenever it pops up in my recommendations. Great work as always✨
How come I didn't come across this channel before? I'm speechless with the quality of the production.
I love how you're animating night, summer ,and winter sounds on the map.
Please do not change the format of your videos.
This is amazing. You guys and Kings and Generals are teaching more than school ever could!!!
This is a gem of a series, so well produced. I would love to know what software they use to create it. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the like/sub. I use Photoshop and After Effects.
legendary is an understatement
This channel is in a class of it's own it really is. Second to none. Without equal. If there was ever a channel to support? THIS IS IT! There is none more worthy than this. You make history come alive like no one else. Thank-you HistoryMarche and all the patreons for making this possible.x
I'm watching this epic saga at 3:30 am and I get to the end and WTF !!! No battle of Cannae ??!! It's like when Lord of the rings kept me hanging for a year. Now I can't sleep wondering when battle of Cannae will put me out of my misery lol. Brilliant story telling,music,suspense etc. This channels got it all.
Hey there James. Working on Part 11, Cannae, right now. Should be finished in a few weeks.
@@HistoryMarche Awesome . Now I can sleep lol. Thank you for the prompt reply.
@@JamesBond-gb1do Hehe, cheers man :)
I really enjoy all the research you do for your videos. I love the interpreting of what information we have to make a comprehensive, down to earth narrative
Glad you like them!
Man its a crime not to finish this series. Cmon
Working on it, I promise.
@@HistoryMarche ok thank you bro I have actovated the bell, I cant wait for these. Honestly the best documentary about anything ever no exaggeration. Keep up the good work❤️!
This is what students really want to learn in history class
Would love to see Hannibal's journey adapted to a high budget series.
1st season should be Hannibal's crossing ending with his schermish with Scipio Sr. Foreshadowing the future confrontation with his son.
2 should be a condensed montage of Hannibal's battles with while delving into his stratagies. That breakout with the cattle would make a great finale.
3 should start with Canea. And the greadual fall while propping up Scipio as the next character.
4 should climax with Hannibal and Scipio at Zama.
Working on Part 11 now. The Battle of Cannae should be finished in a few weeks
HistoryMarche cant wait!
@@HistoryMarche oh you tease you!
This is definitely one of the best told stories of this sort posted on TH-cam or any documentary for that matter at this time. As an educator I greatly value these time friendly recreations of historical content. I probably show about 6 per year - for my U.S. History and my World History courses. Some are really outstanding. Please maintain your moral approach to history. Please continue to treat peoples of the past as human beings and not as groups that need to be elevated or praised to make up of perceived disadvantages that may or may not exist today. Social Justice should not shape historical interpretation. History as a field of study must remain sacred if we are to learn anything. Teach what people did; the good, the bad, the ugly, and always the human. Do not try to earn points for groups on some cosmic scoreboard whose goal it is to show that all groups of people are the same. That should not be a goal. The goal is always to tell the truth... politely, if possible. I feel as though you do this and it is much appreciated.
Thank you - Secondary Educational Professional
Hey, thanks for the kind and supporting words. I definitely plan to do this series as much justice as possible. Currently working on part 11, the battle of Cannae. I hope to finish it within a month's time. The whole series should have 15-16 episodes, or however many is needed to follow Hannibal's journey to the very end.
@@HistoryMarche, looking forward to it. From Zama - to suicide. Thanks for the response
I think he didn't go for Rome because he was worried that the Gauls, whose pockets were full of plunder, would start drifting off home rather than wating for weeks or months for the city to fall. He would also have to feed his troops which could have left them as bad off as those in Rome. If he crushed their armies he would gather more support and allies which could then supply him with food, fodder, men, etc when he did go for Rome. Breaks my heart that he failed, even more that it was not his fault but the fault of others in power in Carthage.Great storytelling dude!
I actually look forward towards history marches videos. I usually save it for a workday to make the day go a thousand percent better than rewatch it at home to see all the small details I missed. History Marche you're doing a amazing job keep it up.
Your voice, narration and your channel is breathtaking !!! Keep doing more awesome explanations like this!!
Excited for when Cannae comes out🙌
When that Soundtrack plays in, I already am super chilled, since I'm about to face the epic history of ancient Europe :)
Thanks a lot, HistoryMarch. You keep me motivated, through writing the core of my Master thesis for Roman Archaeology.

How have I never seen this channel? One of the best historical series I've ever seen, including from main stream outlets
This is far better than any doc I have seen on TV.
Best historical TH-cam Channel! Hype for Cannae!
This great military general deserves a movie/series with top actors. He's only second to Alexander in my opinion as the greatest ever commanders!
Hannibal was not only a great general but also a shrewd psychologist. He knew that (given the roman spirit) if he cornered them he would have very heavy casualties among his elite troops which could not be replaced while Rome had more human resources to muster right away. That's the answer to why he did not besieged Rome. Julius Caesar applied same strategy: he would not attempt to assault cornered, terrified troops because he knew that they would fight for their lives while the attacker had other options. Great generals not only considered strategies, tactics and commissariat but also the psychology of the enemy commanders and troops. Magnificent series way better than anything you can see on rubbish tv channels.
Hannibal was pulling sneak 100s everywhere with a literal horde of troops.
Actually seeing these battles and how they played out really illustrates his tactical and strategic genius.
I’d be pretty scared if I was Rome too.
Great! love the those 10 part, now to the next half can't wait for Cannae!
Working on it. It's a big one + I have smaller projects that I need covering, that patrons voted for. That said, if all goes well, I might release part 11 in about a month.
Good to hear, n thanks for the update!
@@HistoryMarche thank you so much make sure The video of Battle of Canea is top quality
@@HistoryMarche thank you so much for this series i absolutely love it
@@itzblvckhighlander1576 Heya, thanks for watching. I'm working on Part 11, the Battle of Cannae. It's a bigger project than I anticipated and should be finished by mid-September.
He is literally going to post Cannae on the 2nd August I swear xD! Great vids tho!
This makes me want to play Rome Total War every time I watch these videos
Such an incredible story. He ran rings around the Romans, always 5 or 6 steps ahead. All the ambushes and traps and deceptions and psychological games, all executed perfectly.
Funny how Everyone is waiting for Cannae!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Espectacular, muchas cosas se ven mas claras cuando te lo explican con esos exelentes graficos e imagenes interactivos,es como si lo estuvieras viviendo . Los detalles de los movimientos tacticos son exelentes. Aunque se utiliza subtitulos en español , tal vez despues puedan traducirlo

Hannibal definitely deserves his place amongst the likes of Ceasar, and Napoleon. But people seriously sleep on Fabius. The act of not engaging an enemy and allowing them to wear themselves down is even to this day called, "The Fabian Strategy".
It would be the foundations for Scorched Earth tactics and Guerilla warfare. It was also used to beat Napoleon in Russia, and arguably altogether.
This man deserves a lot of credit for inventing it and being as strategically gifted as he was despite being unpopular.
Tbf Fabius wasn't the first to suggest such strategies. Memnon of Rhodes tried the same thing against Alexander but was rejected by the Satraps. The biggest problem woth Scorched Earth Strategies is the political pushback
I need part 10-15 please make it now! you can´t leave me in suspense like this.
Working on Part 11 now. Battle of Cannae. Will be finished this month.
@@HistoryMarche Thank you! :D
An hour of excitement, finally!
Hannibal: but wait! There's more!
Rome: oh ffs, seriously dude?
LOL
The teasing levels with these compilations are something else. Them subtle zoom ins on a place called Cannae... Wonder what that is. Might as well zoom in on another simillar town called Carrhae for good measure then
Haha
@@HistoryMarche funny how they are cursed at Ca-insert letters-ae
I thought this was the Battle of Cannae😂
Working on it :)
@@HistoryMarche plz don't make is wait like u did in the siege of Jerusalem part 4
@@HistoryMarche take your time n make it good.
Hannibal is the personifiaction of how fictional generals fight in anime.. So many creative moves and setting traps to win a losing battle
Carthaligian and Gallic Troops are like the vikings who day by day lived in harsh conditions and spirit bugling conditions that didn't make them weak but stronger and tenacious.
can you please tell us the soundtrack that plays at 29:22 , it's so beautiful , also it's a blessing for history lovers like us to have such an amazing channel , I feel ashamed I don't have the means to support it , but I promise as soon I'm able to I will do so
Not 100% sure. All of the music is from Epidemicsound
