Third season of the Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Early Muslim Expansion starts with the aftermath of the battles against the Sassanid and Eastern Roman empires at Yarmouk and al-Qadisiyyah (outu.be/r2cEIDZwG5M) and battles of Ctesiphon, Alexandria, Nikiou, Jerusalem, Sufetula, Heliopolis, and Nahavand ( • Early Muslim Expansion... ). We are going to cover the aftermath of the beginning of the First Fitna (Civil War) in the Rashidun Caliphate and the battle of Siffin of 657, which led to the rise of the Umayyad Caliphate, external expansion continued with the siege of Constantinople in 674-678, but this didn't stop the Second Fitna from happening, leading to the battles of Karbala (680) and Marj Rahit (684). We also previously talked about the conclusion of the Second Fitna and the rise and fall of the Zubayrid Caliphate. In another episode the armies of the Caliphate return to the frontiers, clashing with the crumbling Byzantine Empire in Armenia and North Africa. In the latter, they would not find opposition not just in the Roman remnant, as the rise of a new warrior queen among the Berbers posed a serious challenge to Hassan ibn al-Nu’man’s conquering army in the Maghreb. And even as the Umayyads won victories on the battlefield and expanded ever further, the cohesion and unity of their empire continued to deteriorate on their Eastern frontiers, planting the seeds of their eventual collapse. And we will also discuss how Carthage was razed once again. Next up we covered the first Muslim incursion into India, as we discussed the Sindh campaign that allowed the Arabs to gain a foothold in the subcontinent. Back west, the armies of the Caliphate were taking over the north Africa and advancing towards Visigothic Spain which led to the battle of Guadelete in 711, as we learn how the Muslims conquered Spain. Events were also transpiring in the east, as the new Caliph Sulayman besieging Constantinople in 717-718. In the west, the Arab movement continued into France where they fought in the battle of Toulouse against the duke of Aquitaine Odo. Their expansion continued in the next years, leading to the famous battle of Tours (Poitiers) in 732 against Charlemagne. In the fourth season we will talk about the Abbasid caliphate and the Arab-Khazar Wars.

This channel is the personification of objectivity. The words you use are carefully chosen. No exageration and no down playing. To the point and entertaining, also informative. I honestyly do like to watch your videos.
@@ahmaduomar5517how could she be called the mother of the faithful if she rebelled against Caliph Ali (AS), besieged Basrah and caused bloodshed between Muslims for the first time in Islamic history? May allah forgive her for the sins she has committed. Her actions still hurts the ummah to this very day!
@ahmaduomar5517 that literally makes them objective. You muslims arent the only people on earth. What you call a historical figure isnt what everyone calls them.
@@ahmaduomar5517 yes, "your" mother. Making it subjective. That is the opposite of what objective is.
Okay and that's your choice as a creator to do that, Just like how it was it their choice to do it their way. Neither way is wrong @@ahmaduomar5517
I love the objectivity too
I live for these long documentaries. I'll replay each new one multiple times and it's just as engaging each time
Being a huge fan of older Total War titles and Europa Universalis 4 watching your videos really brings me the same fascination as playing those games. Felling into these battles, feeling the drama occurring within these empires. It‘s like watching and playing the best gameplay ever. And the fact that all of this is actual history really gives me the chills.
Great work. I rarely enjoy any other TH-cam channel mire than yours. The best combination of war and history.
I don‘t earn that much but your channel is the first that makes me consider becoming a patreon.
Love your channel, for many years already ❤
Fascinating documentary! The early Muslim expansion truly shaped the course of history in Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia. It's incredible to delve into the historical intricacies and understand the impact of this transformative period. Kudos to the creators for providing such insightful content!
And even south asia and south east asia you like even indonesia and india and pakistan have more muslim than middle east , north africa and central asia i do not try comparsion just saying how impact are there in different region
@@runajain5773 Yes, but Central Asia and Iberia had a greater influence on Islamic history
@@Faisal-pb5guit i do not deny like how it helping formation spain and pourtugal islamization of central asia a lot of nomad tribe like turks ,khazak ,ubezk and etc timurid sultanute also turk migration in minor asia and rise ottoman empire
About the death of zubayr ibn al awwam I like to correct the fact he was assassinated by ( Amr ibn Jarmouz) when he was praying the same way umar was Traitorously murdered , he said he wanted to travel with zubayr and when the time if prayer came he killed him from behind something he proudly admitted himself to ali, which tgen Ali told him " you shouldn't be proud of what you did, I heard from the prophet that the murdere of zubayr will be guaranteed hell, you lost your after life"...
Zubayr wasn't trying to flee when he got killed, thats the nonsense chia like to make up to disrespect a great warrior who since day 1 when he accepted Islam at the age of 14 to his death at over 62 years of age has always been known for his courage that was on the border of suicidal....
Zubayr was famous for his skills as a first class warrior and just being one of the best warriors of his time, the guy participated in over a 100 millitary campaigns since the age of 14 and survived through all of them and (jarmouz) was well aware of that he was scared to fight him head on, he knew it was suicide to fight zubayr like that so he opted for the cowardly way of back stabing a 62 year old zubayr while he was prostrating in prayer......
Also worth noting before zubayr abandoned the battle he told his son Abdullah ibn zubayr (the future caliph) to pay all of his debt in his place as if instinctively he knew he didn't have much longer to live
Zubair didn't flee rather he felt guilty he was fighting other Muslims, Zubair was the disciple of the Prophet and true believer, and knew everything and prophet warned him about Fitna
yes exactly Ali(ra) reminded him of a hadith and that led to him abandoning the battle,, hence he was saved and he is amongst the 10 promised paradise by the prophet(saw)@@calm123
Note: For a generation, the Second Fitna stopped Muslim expansion in Central Asia. The lack of centrally appointed governors led to intertribal warfare among the Arab settlers in Khorasan, with local princes refusing to pay tribute and even launching raids into the region by the Hephthalite princes.The Mudari leader Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami established himself as the de facto ruler of Khorasan until 691, when the victorious Umayyads encouraged his rivals to revolt, ultimately leading to his death. Prior to that, he had massacred about 8,000 of his rivals from the Rabi'a and Bakr ibn Wa'il tribes.
The surviving members of Abd Allah's followers
The umayyad caliphate went into constantly of civil wars and rebellion and internal conflicts which why their expansion were limited
Arab tribes were it’s greatest assets and simultaneously it’s greatest bane

Regarding Uthman's burning of the quran:
As for Othman’s collection, may God be pleased with him, it is narrated in Al-Bukhari that Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, came to Medina from the invasion of Armenia, and he entered upon Othman, who was the Commander of the Faithful at that time, before he entered his house, and said: Reach out to this nation before it perishes. He said: What about that? He said... in the Book of God, and he mentioned to him the differences of people in the recitations and their disputes and the appearance of some of them as infidels of others, and other things... So Othman gathered the Muhajireen and the Ansar and consulted with them about that, and they agreed to combine it according to what was authentic and proven in the famous recitations from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and to leave out what He changed it, and his opinion was sound and successful, so he commissioned a group of companions to collect it, and they gathered it into one Qur’an, and they made copies of it, so Othman sent them to the cities, and they remained with him.
Copy in Medina, this is the last plural.
Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said: If I had been the governor at the time of Uthman, I would have done the same thing with the Qur’an
Othman did.
God knows.

In the end the original and real Koran has been lost, and what we have today is a copy out of thousands burned by Othman and he kept the only version that suits his narrative.

Your videos are always amazing, well edited and detailed.
You guys are doing a fantastic job, thx again for all your uploads ! youll always have my like my share and my cheap subscription !
Don't go, learn a trade...
College grad here if your not serious and don’t want to risk debt please learn a trade
@@MalikF15seems like everyone is giving advice to learn trade. Is it really profitable if so. What step should i take first to learn about it. Cause right nkw i have zero knowledge about trade.
@@rafitohornero3850 it’s definitely profitable if your not a school type and don’t plan on making money back. I had a great situation helped keep my costs down but not everyone is lucky. Try to take a few community college classes on welding or electrical work to see if you’re up for it. Then after getting a certificate get an apprenticeship.
@@rafitohornero3850
if you can drive, look into getting a CDL, some companies will pay for your classes if you promise to work for them for x years.
Otherwise see if you can find an apprenticeship; plumbing, electrical, carpentry, whatever.
Hardest route (but imo best $$) is try to get in entry level IT work like Service Desk or something, and if you can afford it a boot camp, then work your way up to tier 3 Engineering
I'm technically a "Tradesman" but I work as an engineer now
This is the most impressive non subscription history channel i have come across so far the visual is really great and how you guys use sound effect efficiently the information is also really great and accurate pure fact no personal opinions and really fast upload i would support you guys if I have more money keep up all the work!❤(my english is really bad btw probably not a good wording)
Thank you so much for all the time and effort that went into this series.
Thank you for the content! I'm subscribed on patreon and damn happy about it!
I have been slowly chipping away at this documentary and just wish I could give it a new "like" every time I come back - you guys deserve it!
As a history nerd that couldn't go to college thank you for continuing my education in the one topic I loved in school
😭, just before I start eating my lunch, now I can eat happily. Sunday lunch is boring without Kings and Generals
This 8h series and others, like the mongols and wars of the diadochi, are among the best documentaries I've ever seen. Great job as always!
Always love these videos. Informative and fun deep dives into history.
What goes better with an entire day of cleaning than a 3hr+ long documentary from Kings and Generals?
God bless you guys 💙!
Thank you very much👍🏽 do you plan on doing a video like the ones on Ibn Fadlan's travel or Gengiz Khan's life?? I really loved the anecdotes
love these long vids abt conflict from a mostly unbiased perspective. I hope these keep coming, so glad I found this channel
Lpp
Thanks kings and generals.watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I Love early islamic history and their formation into an expansive empire, truly remarkable. I also find it fascinating how small tribes once united by a charismatic leader end up conquering most of the world. i.e Muslims, Mongols, Persians,Roman, Greeks etc they were all small tribes until a visionary had bigger dreams. Also find it fascinating that the tribes were made to fight amongst one another by the established empire at the time because they knew their unification would cause trouble.
Solid work there, guys.
Much appreciated.
I love your content! Please keep it up! The views will come, your channel is deserving to be in the millions.
Thank you, kings and generals, i was really bored on a Sunday afternoon. Love you guys xxx
Love your work! Wish to work alongside your team. ❤
Despite my meager income and the dwindling likelihood of my returning to college, I am still considering subscribing to your channel as a member.

I don't know how you guys have produced and continue to produce so much animated video so quickly. And this is mostly pre-2023-AI-BOOM. It's incredible.
Amazing, always impatient to watch your videos!
Love the channel, thanks for compiling the 24-episode playlist into a 3-and-a-half-hour documentary. Makes it a lot easier to rewatch the series. I've been very grateful of your modern episodes as well with ukraine and palestine, it is newsworthy the events you report on
Great work again and for free ! Thank you!

Let’s gooo🎉🎉3 1/2 hours of great content full of detail and hard work. Appreciate it Kings and Generals
Thank u for your hard work KnG!
As always excellent work here 👍
I appreciate your efforts. Unfortunately, at these times, I find myself pretty much destitute. I do thank y'all for keeping what's left of my mind alive .
Yo this was so good! Thanks for filling in the gaps for me on a lot of stuff. I wish you would have talked about how Othman came into power, as thats a highly debated topic.
It was actually smooth because he won an election in the council of 6 also he was a senior companion of the prophet and son in law. You can check this in the last season
As always the extent of research to do those videos is insane, big respect.
As I started reasently doing more research on history of the middle east region before the coming of Islam (a part of history I didn't know a lot about) , because of your video on the battle of (dhi qar) which is a battle that not a lot arabes or Muslim know about much less people for outside that culture, becose of your video I stanbled upon a very interesting and insane pre Islamic event that happened just before the birth of the last prophet of Islam and it is (the Basus War) or (the basus civil war) which lasted for 40 years because of a story of honor.
That civil war gives you an idea of how dangerous living in the desert was before Islam came and on the mindset the arabes had back then and how leaving in that environment hardened them which no doubt unintentionally prepared in their early lighting quonquest against the persian, Romans and pagan arabs.
What Trigger that civil war and the events that followed are both epic and helarious at the same time but also, sad, funny and badass.
When I started reading about it I couldn't stop.
.
The arabs wars were skirmshes
Only those who were clients to the Sassanids or the Romans had kinda of an organized military, also the himyrite kingdom in yeman and their wars with aksumites
@@BESTINTHEWORLD0007
Then riddle me this
How did the Arabs of Hejaz region ( not clients of Byzantium nor Sassanids) were able to defeat the Christian Arabs of Iraq and Levant also defeated their lords too
Skirmishes were the marks of the Bedouins but the leaders of early Muslim conquests were town dwellers whom were traders before Islam travelled to Levant Egypt Persia etc
The mass body of Arab conquests were Arab Bedouins whom were made into a standing army
Top 3 favourite channels on youtube, absolutely love your work. Really gotten in to medieval history lately and you guys are my favourite. Appreciate you!
Thanks for making awesome videos
I know lots about Christendom military history, but no, not as much of Islamic military history, so this has been an eye-opener. I do love this channel, the hours of work that must go into every part must be immense as the detail that it goes into every video is unique.
Absolutely my favourite historic channel!
Keep up the good work, guys. I love yours video's
Loved the crusade video and liking the muslim beginning videos if could can you put them in chrome order so I could listen to them then this again in chrono order. Love the channel as its very descriptive a our a side of the middle east I didn't really study always looked at the crusader side hence why I loved the first crusade long video as its was bang on
Your effort in the video is great, but there's a significant adoption of weaker narratives because they are more dramatic, such as Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr's participation in the siege of Uthman, or that Uthman favored his relatives, or that the compilation of the Quran faced huge controversy, even though the more reliable and stronger narratives can be found in the same book, which is the History of Tabari. I hope there will be a broader consideration of different narratives and accuracy in the future.
Amazing visuals and explanation, swell job you guys are doing ❤️
You guys are such a good channel who agrees

ok ... here is my Rant for this episode
I had to stop watching to correct a huge mistake, I wanted to mention this in your previous video about the first Fitnah, but sadly I didn't because I am a lazy dude)
it about how you presented the "burning" of the Quran ...
although I am not a big expert in the Islamic history but I am knowledgeable enough to be surprised about the claim that the up rising against Othman - God rest his soul - had to do with "Buring" of the Quran, not only I never heard of that, but what Othman did - God rest his soul - was not controversial at all. what he did had nothing to do with the Quran but rather how to WRITE IT.
to clear few things:
-The Quran is not the book, it is the "Words", the written book is called "Mushaf", not Quran.
-The Quran is passed down through passing of the words, mouth to ear (up to this day), not through the written "Mushaf"
-There are multiple ways to recite the Quran (there is a full branch of Quranic studies called the Methods of Recitation), all these methods were taught by the Prophet peace be upon him. Some words might have different pronunciation, different dialects were used, different tones of voice/sound, and even different words.
-The Arabs at their early years where an illiterate nation, they never relayed on writing, only on memory to pass down anything.... thus very few people knew how to write and on top of that, the written Arabic was very primitive, the majority of letters had no unique shape of their own, for example the Letters ب, ت, ث, ن had one shape to present them all, the letters س , ش and ص, ض were the same case, you can see that the "dots" are the only way to tell them a part ... there was no dots back then, not to mention no punctuation, nor movement markings of letters ( ٌ , ً , ِ ) which are small markers that tells you how the letter are pronounced within the word it self, the same word with same letters can be completely different words depending on how the letters are pronounced, for example : سحر and سحر have the same letters but actually 2 different words, سَحَر is what the "time before dawn" is called, while سِحْر means "magic" ( ya Arabic language hates you).
-For native Arabs, these are not issues, they can understand and differentiate between the different recitation methods without any problem, there was no need for written "Mushaf", however that turned out to be a nightmare for new non Arabs Muslims, they are not natives, Arabic is a very VERY vast language, the Quran is the pinnacle of that language, and they are not used to relay on their memories as the Arabs are. So they have to relay on a written version (that does not exist except for the one "Mushaf" that was joined at the time of the first Caliph Abu Bakr - God rest his soul - ) so they had to relay on whatever scraps or scrolls they find with the prophet's companions who came to their lands.... rare scrolls that could contain the personal notes of the companion, some of the prophet's teaching , some verses or chapters that could be written according to how ever the companion chose to write it based on what ever method of recitation he chose (Arabic writing was very primitive back then with virtually no rules for writing it)
-So here you have a people who are not native to a language, a language that happens to be one of the most complicated and vast languages, these people are learning the "Words of God" (the Quran) that is the pinnacle of that language, a Quran that has a unique style and method of speaking and pronunciation that is different than the language itself, and this unique way has multiple ways to recite within it. On top of that, this Quran is passed through memory not by writing , and the writing capabilities for that Super language is primitive, no dots, no movement marking for letters, no punctuation and no dictation rules.
this is like a 10 years old driving a spaceship that has no manual
And that is a recipe for disaster.... and that exactly what was about to happen.
-When the Muslims army were facing the Sassanid and requested reinforcement form the armies at the byzantine side, newly convert Muslims from the Byzantine territory met for the newly convert Muslims from the Sassanid territory and discovered that they are reciting the Quran different than each other (depending on who taught them), they almost fought each other, if it wasn't for the prophets companions who were present, interfering and explaining that these different ways are all correct.
-That incident alarmed one of the prophet's companion (I forgot who he was ) and he informed the 3rd Caliph, and that when the decision of writing a unified "Mushaf" (not Quran) emerged, the main purpose was to prevent conflict among new non Arabic converts, and have a unified base written version for non Arabs to refer to. and to prevent having multiple written versions (because of the multiple recitation methods) that non Arabs wont be able to tell them a part nor to tell them from a fake one.
-That is how the "Othmanic Font/writing method" was born, a special way to write the Quran in a way that could contain as much as possible of the different recitation methods, a special front and dictation rules were used that is different form the one used for the language itself. The Muslims up to this day agreed that the "Mushaf" must not be written in another way (except for educational purposes).
-Once that new standardized written version was complete, any other written scraps, scrolls, wooden tablet were burned (duh) and I think 4 copies were made and sent to the corners of the Caliphate with a SKILLED RECIETER accompanying each one, to teach people how to recite (because the "Mushaf" doesn't cover that).
and this is why, up to this day, certain methods of recitation are more common in certain parts of the Islamic world than others, for example in west Africa the method of "Warsh" is more widely used than in the Middle East where the method of "Hafs" is more commonly used.
-The "Mushaf" served as written reference of the Quran, but it is NOT The Quran, it doesn't matter if you have 12 Ph.D's in Arabic language, you still won't be able to recite the Quran correctly by reading from the "Mushaf", you need to learn it directly from someone who learned directly from some one who learned it directly from some -------> until you reach the prophet peace be upon him. (and that is a certification called the "Sanad", which link you in a continuous chain of reciters to the Prophet - Peace be upon him - )
-The Quran (with its different methods of recitation) is still preserved, but not through the written "Mushaf", and while the Quran is preserved and never changed (with all the different methods) the "Mushaf" keeps changing, across the times, more modifications were added, the addition of dots to letters , the special letters markers and punctuation markers that are unique to the Quran, numbering the verses, dividing it to 30 parts, dividing each part to 2 "Hizb" dividing each "Hizb" into quarters, up to using color coded letters and words to indicate certain pronunciation and sound extensions (that was used for the first time couple of decades ago). not to mention special "Mushaf"s that are written according to a certain recitation method that is used only educational purposes.
In short, Islam is a giant mindfuck
Awesome work great video
It is fascinating how the unity under faith might have been a driving factor in early muslim rapid expansion.

have to see i'm addicted to K&G being an ex wargamer, the battle maps are tops, especially the shaking of the generals to show when they are pissed off and little explosions when they die. great combo of history info with visuals to understand. the graphics are a bit mills and boon. shame they cant use footage from movies. no doubt copyright. not often i'll sit through 3.5 hours of TH-cam fascinated by the Arab conquests. Would be great if they teamed up with Netflix and did a doco movie with the clarity of those brilliant maps. Tactics and strategy are made clear. If they could give clear visuals of the weaponry and battles would be better - using some of the gaming pc on era.
