Random Chinese emperor wakes up angry : 50 Million causalities
Said Chinese emperor is also mentally deficient or politically helpless
losing 1-3 million in Chinese battle is like just losing 1000 in Europe at that time😂
It is always China
Respect 🇨🇳 brotha!
The Chinese always like to be the first in everything
excerpt in football
@@kaydoan9687lmao
Of course a chinese dispute having over 500k casualties (the bare minimum)
And there is a few recorded hunnic-chinese conflicts during ancient times. I am pretty sure the casualties were in millions considering how chinese army were immobile compared to hunns.
Just strong men creating good times
Do not listen to the stink barbarian above me. We drinking water from the aqueducts with this one 🔥 🔥 🦅 🗣️🗣️
Africa would be a world power if that were true.
@@BrandonQuezada-k2v you getting conquered by Visigoths with this one 🔥🔥
@@Alienwatcherbro thinks we are living in the good times right now,💀💀💀 what a soyboy
Every single one of these battles were fought by aristocratic states fighting over the rights to extort tribute out of their weaker neighbors. With often brutal consequences for the innocents caught in the crossfire, including theft of property, rape, slavery, or death. Don’t romanticize the ancient world it was one built on brutality just like modern empires are.
“If it isn't 700,000 casualties, then it’s not a war” - Sun Tzu probably
The siege of Athen by the forces of the Roman Republic happened in 87 BC not 87 AD.
Plataea having 250.000 persian casualties and 200 Greek casualties according to Herodotus lmao
That's overexaggeration, they didn't have the ability of field troops more than 100000, they also includes camp followers, non combatants slaves, merchants etc
@@kamleshmanjhi1234 that's the joke, overinflated army counts with underreported casualties
Propaganda + Dramatic storytelling + Human Tendency to Exaggerate + Historians' guesswork = These casualty figures.
Not really, from a lot of them the numbers can be fairly accurate, like the amount at say the siege of carthage, because the majority of the cities population was slaughtered with all but a few of the survivors being taken as slaves, so you just need to know the cities population, deduct the amount of cartheginian slaves the romans took during that battle, and then add the Roman soldiers casualties from the Romans own paperwork.
Similarly, for the naval battles between Rome and Carthage, both sides had their own numbers on their casualties
@@wouterkessel4852In case of the sieges that might be true, but for sea or land battles, there is just no way. Figures of 50 Thousand casualties or 100.000 men on each side for these times is highly questionable.
@@Johannes_PiotrTrue. Any set-piece battle involving more than 200,000 men was rare because of logistical reasons. Just look no farther than the Napoleonic Wars how military organization breaksdown when commanders (including Napoleon) commanded more than 100,000 men in a single place.
@@matthewkira6668the thing about the Chinese wars and why they have such big numbers is that they practiced conscription on a pretty advanced level which Europe didn’t have until Napoleon so them being around Napoleonic numbers isn’t shocking when they had massive states marshaling large numbers of conscripts. Still exaggerating a good bit but the numbers are still uniquely massive due to the organizational systems in place
@@badart3204 they can definitely muster more than 100,000 men but I reckon this would involve more than a single field army operating on a wide front since they would quickly outstrip the local food source if they make a prolonged stay or concentrate in any particular location
Destruction of Carthage was just an early warning of Rome’s faith.
Battle of Thermopylae - 🤓
Battle of Salamis - 🗿
its kind of strange that salamis didn't make it to the video maybe everyone just swimmed back home.🙂
A Chinese battle without at least a million deaths is considered a dull affair.
Where is fhe battle of Cannae?
70k Roman dead and 5k dead for Hannibal. it's comparable to Edessa.
@@Fent_overdoserIt was 45 to 50k roman dead. The rest were captured or escaped.
Ain’t no way 300,000 Gauls died at Alesia why are you taking this number seriously?
With their re-enforcements included even some of the lowest estimates will point to there being almost a 1 million gauls involved in the fighting overall, and the Romans over 60.000 legionaries plus tens of thousands of local allies, and the gauls sent all the women, the children and the crippled out to die of starvation in the area between the Roman siege works and the city itself. The number is likely to be close to the actual death toll
@@wouterkessel4852The lowest estimate? No Roman source gives more than 500k for the whole thing.
300,000 casualties in Alesia is realistic if we include the civilian deaths due to famine, but it is questionable if the Gauls had the logistical capability to assemble more than 2x the combatants fielded by Caesar in a single place (including the relief force).
Bro the entire population of the Germanic tribes ain't 1 million at the time. Roman figures are out of this world cause Ceasar was trying to build his reputation and over exaggerated things like crazy.
@@GothPaoki That's cool but this is about Gaul.
Everyone 'gangsta'
Antique China 'GANGSTA'
Vefore Platea those numbers in the video are fine ( some are little bit exaggerated but nothing completly ridiculous )
Platea numbers are form Herodotos and are bonkers bullshit , even Diodoros thinks that only 100 000 died there , most likely realy less than that as well
Catalaunian Plains is even more ridiculous , i have no idea where you bring out those numbers from , there wasnt even that many soldiers there
Alesia is Ceasar numbers is definitly overstated
Kalinga wasnt a battle but an entire war
Carthage could be right. Athens seems made up, though it was a huge slaughter. There's also Jerusalem, though the exact numbers are again unknown. Generally, sieges had higher casualty rates because the civilian population was killed as well.
@@stsk1061 yeah thats why i left out the sieges as the civillians could theoreticly made those numbers
The music for the Battle of Plataea just seemed perfect for some reason.
Correction at 1:48 the Siege of Athens and Piraeus happens around 87-86 BCE and not AD
were there really that much deaths the citys whole population was 300k at that time aint no way 250k died
FR 😅
make me wonder when the heck roman conquer greek after Augustus era
average Roman propaganda be like. Included 3 battles of punic wars didn't include battle cannae
No sekigahara mention, shame
How petty our squabbles seem to these ancient times, even forgetting the wars imagine the day to day life in various parts of any kingdom
China and Rome: 🎼 *"Wake up in the morning, I got murda on my mind."* 🎶
Bad take I know, but it's the history of war.
2 year battle is crazy
I never ever wanted to get hit by a stick as a child, when pretending to be Jedi or knights. So imagine 100000 casualties caused by pointy sharp sticks- call em spears, lances, halberds and such.
0:43 Shapur the chad🗿🧏🏻
Literally impossible for both Platea, Seige of Athens and Alesia to have had this much casaulties lol. Also Kalinga was a whole campaign, not a single battle.
Taiping rebellion and Mongolian conquest: pathetic
That's not a battle.
And they happened in modern and mediaeval era not ancient
Number 1: those are medieval/ancient wars
2: these aren't just battles, these are wars.
Great content
Athens and Piraeus was BC, not AD
I also hate the Republican ProMagistrates being depicted in Imperial garb. Very unrepublican.
And I LOVE how the biggest Western ancient battle's casualties is the smallest for China. Chinese average local rivalry between two villages be like "1 million killed. Widespread famine after the war. Inconclusive."
Chinese casualties could also be overstated. State of Qin had no more than a few million people before absorbing the others.
China: Those are rookie numbers
1:50 by that point, Rome was an empire. Domitian was emperor.
It was 87 BC he made a mistake
Where are the battles of Megiddo and Kadesh?
Megiddo wasn’t even that deadly and I think they’re just better battles to pick from
China: Emperor Hong war with Jing casulties : 100 Trillion
Battle of fei river:
Jin 80k VS Qin 820k
And Qin suffered a totally defeated
Why is Scipio Africanus looks like he s Theodosius
It doesn't matter what you can do well, there is always a chinese kid who Is Better than you
What about the battle of Raphia?
I knew this video would end in china when I saw most casualties
I always feel so proud of Rome during videos like these, despite them killing so many of my people.
That's because you are a barbarian, with the natural slave mentality of barbarians.

Sassanid is romans father
Until Trajan arives
@@bhaskarsahu46063 roman emperor?😂
@@bhaskarsahu4606 sassanids are trajan roman and turks father
Sparta won the war against Persia for a formation
0:53 queen Boudica is kinda beautiful not gonna lie
Chinese civil wars be like:
Minor Skirmishes on the Yangtze River as Donjon claims to be the Emperor of China
Emperor Mr. Ping sends his troops to quell the rebellion
11 trillion die in the battle
Once again, some of the victories are wrong
First question what drawing call and can you history of swimming by history era and for other sport
Cataunian Field stats are just wrong...
Why did you not mention assyria
Half of the video is either Romans or Greeks against Persians and the other half is just Romans against the rest of the world!
China history be like: emperor Ching Xilong arrives at the imperial throne after a three years civil war. 950k casualities.
Dude that's racist for battle of kalinga💀. Mauryans were very dark skinned as well

Historian: "Million dollar question: Were the Romans or Chinese Dynasties involved in any way, shape or form?"
Librarian: "Yes."
Historian: *Grumbles while he grabs his scientific calculator and a legal pad* "Let the bodies hit the floor...."

1:00 hmmm interesting, how did a chick came in to power among something like that 🤔
Catalaunian plains was more likely a strategic stalemate and Hunnic tactical victory ;
Because the Huns managed to eliminate the king of their rivals and, most importantly, they had possession of the battlefield after the end of the battle, the outcome was likely a Hun victory.,
Hyun Jin Kim (2013). The Huns, Rome and the Birth of Europe. Cambridge University Press. pp. 76-77
The Huns invaded with the intent of invading the whole of Gaul and after the battle they returned beyond the Rhine. They lost
This guy is in every comment section about Middle Eastern or European history trying to spread panturkist propaganda, so of course he is going to support the theory of the Huns winning, despise the fact that they lost.
Huns retreated and left the field ,they lost get over it
