As an Iranian I personally believe the Sassanian empires most impressive military victories was defeating the biggest Turk empire ever, the Gokturks, not once but twice, and the Turks greatly outnumbered the Persians. Until the 3rd war when the Gokturks finally teamed up with the Byzantines and Khazars which resulted in a victory for them
In the west, the Romans, in the east, the Gog Turks, in the south, the Arabs, in the north, the Khazars, all of them were united and intended to destroy Iranshahr, but Iranshahr defeated them every time.
@@zitka123 They were not Arabs, they were Muslims, the Muslim caliphs were always a religious authority, not a government, only the Rashidin caliphs ruled, which did not last for 100 years, in the Sassanid-Muslim war, many Iranians were on the side of the Muslims, one of whom was Salman Farsi, whom the Prophet loved very much. The Turks were only the Eastern Turkic Seljuqs who had Iranian culture, the rest of the Turks were Iranians like the Safavids and Afshariyas. Now the future president of Iran is a Turk, so the Turks are ruling Iran now?
@@Poiyti Also Not only Turk Arab is also Adopted Persian Culture. Like in South Asia(India , Pakistan,Bangladesh) ,Indonesia and Malaysia has many Persian words and culture due to Islam.
@@Poiyti I just commented bcz there are many Iranian nationalist who made fun of other ethics and trying show Persian as superior. Sorry for my comment.
@@zitka123 Yes, the Umayyads were an Arab fascist government, where did you get this information from? where are you from? Today's architecture, which is also known as Islamic architecture, is an Iranian architecture. You can see the remains of the city of Tisfon, which is the same Islamic architecture today. As an Iranian, I am upset that our history, poets and scientists are considered Turkish or Arab. Ind, no nation is superior to another, but we only intend to protect our own identity, which is always violated by Arabs and Turks.
Today's ideal life is in the West, but at that time, the one who lived in Iranshahr was lucky, the peak of culture and civilization, beautiful architecture, Sassanid purple colors are very special and stunning.
if iran with that deep culture and nationwide zoroastrianism religion wouldn't fall to plague of islam , im sure middle east was much beautiful and peaceful today.
Since almost none of the Sassanid victories against the Romans were mentioned, here's a list (it's long) Ardashir Babakan defeated the Romans at the siege of Nisibis 235 and his forces raided Cappadocia along with Syria and reconquered Armenia He also defeated three Roman armies one lead by emperor Alexander Severus himself in Mesopotamia Based on a rock relief in Iran's Azerbaijan, the Roman army in Armenia was also defeated Severus lost the battle of Ctesiphon 233 to the Sassanids but before that, Ardashir crushed his vanguard before arrival of Alexander and it's likely that the third Roman army was also defeated after Severus loss and so Ardeshir was able to repel all three Roman armies marching against him Shapur I defeated 3 Roman emperors and even captured one of them Based on one of the Sassanid tablets, Gordian III also died in one of these battles Each Roman army had between 60,000-70,000 men outnumbering Shapur 2-1 He won the battle of Misiche (60,000 Romans), battle of Barbalissos (60,000 Romans), battle of Edessa (70,000 Romans), siege of Antioch 253, siege of Dura Europos 256, plundered 37 Roman cities in his second Roman campaign and plundered 36 Roman cities in his third, all of this while always being outnumbered 2-1 and yet he won all the wars Emperor Valerian was captured, emperor Philip the arab was humiliated and forced to pay heavy tribute while emperor Gordian III was defeated and probably killed in battle of Misiche against Shapur I according to Sassanid sources Odenathus didn't even fight Shapur's army in a battle he just attacked him from behind while he was already going back to Iran and still, Shapur kept most of his men, prisoners, plunders and loots He even had the time to raid Syria after this clash with Odenathus which means Odenathus army suffered heavy casualties and couldn't stop Shapur at the time even after that so called victory Odenathus failed to take Ctesiphon twice and was defeated at the battle of Ctesiphon 263 by Shapur and failed to conquer the city once again in 266 There's a lithograph/stone carving which scholars believe it shows the victory of Sassanid king, Bahram II over emperor Carus and his brother, the Kushan king, after a successful military campaign in the east against the Kushans Some scholars even say Carus might have been killed in a Sassanid counter attack or skirmish and not by a lightning like the Romans claim Before Narseh was defeated, he defeated Romans at the battle of Carrhae 296 and also in two other battles and inflicted heavy casualties on the Romans and if he had won one last time, the Romans would've been completely defeated that year One of Shapur II small armies defeated a much larger Roman army at the battle of Samarra 363 and a Sassanid killed emperor Julian by shoving a spear in his chest Shapur himself defeated the second Army in Armenia After that, the Sassanids retook Armenia, 15 fortresses and western Mesopotamia Check out Perso Roman peace treaty of 363 which was a humiliation for Rome and made up for the Sassanid defeat at Satala Before that, he sacked Amida and even though he was forced to retreat at the battle of Singara, he returned that same night and defeated the emperor in a night attack, retook his camp, routed the Roman army which was forced to retreat while suffering many casualties He successfully besieged Bezabde in 360 AD and in the same year, the Romans were defeated at Bezabde again when they tried to besiege it He also successfully besieged Singara at 360 AD He also made Manuel Mamikonian of Armenia submit to him in the year 378 AD and thus reconquered Armenia again like years before when he defeated the Armenian queen and her son Bahram Gur also defeated a Roman army but the war ended in a stalemate However, he was able to repel them from Mesopotamia Yazdegerd II raided Roman cities and the Roman emperor was forced to pay heavy tribute for him to leave Under the Kavad I and his Khosrow Anushiravan, the Sassanids defeated the Romans in three wars in a row The Anastasian war Iberian war Lazic war All won by the Sassanids with the Romans forced to pay heavy tribute each time at the end of each war and losing more battles or sieges than the Sassanids in each of them Khosrow destroyed the fortress of Dara in one of his campaigns which made Roman emperor go insane He raided the Roman provinces several times and each time got tribute from the emperor Khosrow even sacked Antioch Even Belisarius, the best eastern Roman general was defeated several times by the Sassanids Battle of Thannuris 528 (Sassanid victory) Battle of Mindouos 528/529 (Sassanid victory) Battle of Dara 530 (Roman victory) Battle of Callinicum (Sassanid victory) Battle of Nisibis (Sassanid victory) Siege of Sisauranon (withdrawal of Belisarius army) Two Roman forces that attacked Mesopotamia were also defeated before the battle of Thannuris Battle of Anglon 543 (4,000 Sassanids defeated 30,000 Romans) Bahram Chobin defeated Romans or Roman sponsored armies about three times or four times during the reign of Khosrow I and Hormizd IV Hormizd IV or his generals also won a series of victories in raids and sieges against the Romans in Mesopotamia and their borders Khosrow II generals, Shahrbaraz and Shahin, conquered half if not most of the Byzantine empire and held it for 10-16 years They even defeated Heraclius himself once at the battle of Antioch 613 when he had 68,000 men while the Sassanids had 40,000 The Sassanids took true cross from Romans for years and defeated Heraclius once or twice more after that victory near Antioch The war ended in a stalemate, not even a victory for any of the two

Strong and warrior women are not only in Greek mythology. In Persian mythology, there are many female legends, including female warriors and heroes with epic stories, along with the Persian poetry in Shahnameh (Book of Kings) that make it an amazing and full feeling work. Many people in Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan know these stories due to cultural similarities, but i hope one day, these histories will be global in the world, just as we know the Greek legends. I am pretty sure all countries gonna enjoy knowing theses stories as much as us :)

After Ragnarok, in norse mythology, does every human soul ( not only warriors but also normal human soul) continues to exist ( maybe in various forms)after death and there is no time limit until when the souls will continue to exist? Let me know the names of the religions which don't believe that every human soul continues to exist after death for eternal time and there is no way of ceasing existence of any human soul?? Please reply someone
Raganrok started some thousand years ago when Fereydun's two eldest sons, Tūr and Salm, conspired against their younger brother, Iraj/Arya, and killed him dishonorably out of jealousy. Their descendents (Turanians and westerners) will ultimately pay the price. Mark my words.
General culture Origin of the Sasanians: The Sassanians established their empire. The Sassanian Empire was founded in 224 AD and continued until the emergence of Islam. They were interested in science and arts, and practiced medicine and commerce. The founder of the Sassanid Empire was (Ah Radshir), the Kurdish father of (Babak) from the sect of sheep herders (Shevankara), and his mother (Bayek) was the daughter of members of the Kurdish (Bazerniki) clan. It is said that he lived 88 years and spent 25 years as emperor. The last Sassanian emperor was named (Yeh-Zidi-Kord), who remained in power for 20 years in power and the empire. There were 29 successive emperors during the period of their empire, and their capital was “Mada Yan,” which was later called Al-Mada’in, which was 29 farsangs away from the city of Baghdad. Colonel Dohousa said in 1863: The large head, strong muscles, black hair and broad eyebrows of the Kurds are exactly identical to the characteristics of the ancient Sassanians. Al-Tabari says: (Ah Radshir) is the son of (Babak) Ibn (Sasan) Ibn (Babak) Al-Zarari. Yaqut al-Hamawi says in Mu'jam al-Buldan: What reminds us of the Sassanids is their city (Al-Mada'in), which was called (Kurd Awa). Strabo says: He (Ah Radshir) surpassed the Persians, and his name is not (Shah Nasha), and this makes it clear that he is a Kurd, because any person who did not rule a nationality other than his own will not become Shah Nasha. The history of Mosul indicates that (Ah Radshir) established the mighty Sassanid state with the support and assistance of the Medes. (Ah Radshir) fought Sultan (Ardwani), the last resident of (Hakhame), because he was a Persian. Al-Tabari mentions in the first chapter and on page 478 the text of the letter that Arduan the Persian sent to Ah-Radshir after the second war between them, in which he expresses his discontent, helplessness, and defeat: “You have defeated your stage and have sought your death, O Kurd, raised in the tents of the Kurds. Who gave you permission?” In the crown that you wore and the country that contained it and whose kings and people were absent, and who ordered you to build the city that you founded (in the desert)? ===============================================

Timesitheus, Gordian III's father in law and praetorian prefect, absolutely crushed Shapur I in a major battle at Resaina in 243 A.D. Thereby regaining all of Roman Mesopotamia including Carthage, Nisibis, and Singara. Then he died of dysentery. Had he lived Gordian III's war would have finished just like Rome's wars against the parthians did under Septimius Severus, Marcus Aurelius, and Trajan: with the sack of Ctesiphon, and complete victory. Shapur I never faced a first rate commander in the West between the death of Timesitheus up until he faced Odenathus.
Shapur was fighting rebels in Tabaristan, Khorasan and Sakastan during the battle of Resaena 😂 Plus Shapur brutally retaliated that defeat one year later by crushing the Roman army at the battle of Misiche in which Gordian III was killed and the Sassanids retook all of the lost territories 😂 None of those Roman emperors you named faced ANY Iranian army during their campaigns 😂 At least Shapur faced armies and defeated Odaenathus too 😂
The Sassanids were a mediocre empire which got vassalized by Turkic Nomads such as White Huns, and even Gokturks, The Eastern Roman’s managed to Inflict heavy defeats on them aswell giving their greatest ruler Shapur I embarrassing defeats, furthermore the Sassanids respectively were conquered by a Arab Tribal confederation.
😂 never read so much nonsense before. Which Persian broke your heart? The Sassanid empire will always be remembered. When you pass, nobody will remember you.
According to the script writer of the battle of Edessa in Historymarche channel there's a source which indicates that Ardashir Babakan defeated a Hunnic king during his eastern campaigns (if anyone knows anything about it, please do tell) Shapur II fought them and in the end they were made to serve in the Sassanid army (most probably after a Sassanid victory) in their battles with Rome In year 395, during the reign of Bahram IV, two Hunnic armies under Basiq and Kursich that had entered the middle east through the Caucasus, were defeated by the Sassanids (probably lead by Bahram IV himself) in Mesopotamia and lost all of the spoils and prisoners they had stolen during their raids During the reign of Bahram V (who is called Bahram Gur because of his obsession with hunting onagers), while Bahram was occupied with the war with the Romans, his eastern neighbours, Kidarites, crossed the Oxus river and invaded the Sasanian realm, conquering the rich city of Merv and even reaching as far as westwards as Ray However, Bahram made peace with Rome, passed through the mountain chain on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, eventually reaching Merv There his forces routed the Kidarites, killing their king in the process and capturing his wife A general of Bahram pursued the Kidarites into Transoxiana and inflicted another heavy defeat on them The war was concluded in 427, with Bahram cementing his name as a great champion of Iran The name of Bahram was long remembered amongst the people of the surrounding area The Sogdian city of Bukhara would later mint coins with his image Between the year 435 to 440 the Huns under the infamous Attila and Bleda invaded the Caucasus but were heavily defeated in Armenia by the Sassanids which made them abandon their invasion plan and flee back to Europe In 450, Yazdegerd II launched an expedition into deep Kidarite territory in Central Asia, raiding and capturing forts and cities, which resulted in the accumulation of many captives and riches and managed to secure the eastern portion of his empire against the Kidarite incursions Few of Yazdegerd's Armenian generals were also able to repel some Hunnic attacks in the east The Kidarites did defeat one of Yazdegerd's generals but the war continued and they were finally completely defeated once by Peroz I (He defeated Kidarite king Kunkhas) and then again by a Sassanid Hephthalite alliance but the Sassanids and Hephthalites became enemies and then the Sassanid king, Peroz I, was defeated 3 times and killed in the end and most of eastern Sassanid provinces were conquered by Hephthalites However, the Hephthalites were stopped and defeated by an Iranian noble called Sukhra of the house of Karen but since most of the Sassanid army was lost during those 3 battles, they weren't able to take back the lost territories After Peroz I and most of his successors were killed in battle and his army was destroyed just like in his previous two clashes against the Hephthalites, Surkhab quickly installed Peroz brother, Balash, on the Sassanid throne, regrouped the rest of the Sassanid army and marched against the Hephthalite king, Khushnavaz When he reached Gorgan, Khushnavaz was informed of Surkhab's plan of attacking him, he prepared his men for battle and sent a message to Surkhab, asking him his name, official position and intentions Surkhab shortly sent a message back, informing him of his name and position Khushnavaz thereafter sent another message, warning him of doing the same mistake as Peroz I However, he wasn't discouraged by Khushnavaz words and even raided Hephthalite territories, met Hephthalite king's army in battle and inflicted a heavy defeat on him This made Khushnavaz sue for peace which Surkhab would only accept if the Hephthalites would give him everything that had been seized from Peroz camp including all his treasures and royal treasury, his chief priest and Peroz daughter, Perozdukht His demands were accepted and peace was made He then returned to Ctesiphon, where he was received with great honor by nobles and people In 503, Kavad I countered a Hephthalite attack and in 508, a Sasanian campaign led to the conquest of the Zundaber (Zumdaber) Castellum, associated with the temple of az Zunin in the area of ad Dawar, situated between Bust and Kandahar Based on the Sassanid coin found in Merv, it's indicated that the Sassanids under Kavad I defeated the Hephthalites and reconquered Khorasan Khosrow Anushiravan, allied with the Gokturks, and conquered the southern half of the Hephthalite empire while the Gokturks conquered the northern half The Hephthalite king, Ghadfar, and what was left of his men, took refuge in Sassanid empire under Khosrow Gokturks sent a delegate with gifts to strengthen the alliance They made a treaty and sent, Faghanish, the Hephthalite who was supposed to be their own puppet king to Ctesiphon to be approved by Khosrow who made Faghanish and his kingdom into his own vassal instead In 562, Khosrow defeated the Hephthalites AGAIN and also stopped the threat of Turks Sinjibu attacked the Sassanid borders but in the end, gave his daughter's hand in marriage to Khosrow Anushiravan (probably after a Sassanid counter attack)
Embarrassing defeats ? 🤣 Shapur I changed the battle tactics of the Iranian army and was fighting an opponent that had battle equipments equal to his men if not better and armies that surpassed his own, in numbers Before he became king of kings, he fought in his father's army in conquest of the Parthian empire at the battle of Hormozdgan, Kushan empire, Atropatene, Caucasus, Punjab, Chorasmia and was also present in his father's raids in the Roman territories and his victory over a Hunnic king, plus at the battle of Ctesiphon 233 And probably in the clash between two Roman and Sassanid armies before that All of which were successful for the Sassanids He personally besieged and sacked Hatra which even Romans failed to take over during their three invasions of Mesopotamia during the Parthian era He even defeated the Medians of the mountains After he became Shahanshah, he defeated 3 Roman emperors and even captured one of them personally (Valerian) and probably even killed one according to the Sassanid sources Based on one of the Sassanid tablets, Gordian III died at the battle of Misiche He forced emperor Philip the Arab to pay him heavy tribute and sign a peace treaty which was called most shameful treaty by Romans Each Roman army had between 60,000-70,000 men Although the only information we have about Shapur's numbers is at the battle of Edessa in which he had 40,000 men It's probably safe to assume Romans were outnumbering Shapur 2-1 in his battles Before his general's defeat at the battle of Resaena, he crushed three rebellions in Sakastan, Chorasmia and Tabaristan When he returned to Mesopotamia, he brutally retaliated his general's defeat and won the battle of Misiche (60,000 Romans), battle of Barbalissos (60,000 Romans), battle of Edessa (70,000 Romans), siege Antioch 253, siege of Dura Europos 256, plundered 37 cities in his second Roman campaign and 36 in his third After his clash with Odaenathus Shapur took his time raiding and sacking eastern parts of Odaenathus kingdom while he did nothing which means Odaenathus couldn't beat Shapur in battle like Romans claim After that, Shapur even won against him at the battle of Ctesiphon 263 and once more again in Ctesiphon
Oh arab invasion ? Sure ... Let's just completely ignore Bahram Chobin rebellion, the rebellion of Heraclius predecessor, 3 Sassanid Gokturk wars, the 27 year war between Byzantines and Sassanids, plague, revolts, a Sassanid civil war right after the last Sassanid Byzantine war which lasted until after the battle of the bridge and caused 9-11 kings and queens sit on the Sassanid throne during the first 2 years alone, Slavic and Avar raids into the Byzantine empire, deaths of countless veteran generals and soldiers of two sides before the Arab invasion during the war and after that, execution and assassination of most of adult and royalties of the royal house of Sasan along with god knows how many generals and thousands of nobles of the seven great houses by Kavad II, a weak puppet king (Yazdegerd III) on the throne, the betrayal of Sassanid commanders, soldiers and engineers during the Arab invasion specially during battle of Al Qadisiyyah, siege of Ctesiphon and battle of Jalula (Watch kings and generals documentary about Muslim invasions) and finally the betrayal of Salman the Persian who told arabs everything about the Sassanid battle tactics and how to beat their armies Those "nomads" armies numbers reached at least half of the numbers of their enemies in each battle they fought unlike what early muslim sources claim An army can't win only because it has more numbers and better battle equipments when that army has no experience and worse when there's no competent general or king to lead it and this has been proven in history many times

@@ozzzz9328 Ardeshir, the founder of the Sasanian Empire, named his empire Sasanian because of his ancestor, who was named Sasan, not because of the Zaza people. Likewise, all historians believe that the language of the Sasanian Empire was Middle Persian and Pahlavi Persian, not the language of the Zazas. There is a video on TH-cam that recreates the language of the Sassanid Empire, and as someone who grew up speaking Persian, I understood 80% of it.

Love this! Fascinating place in history. This is a like a sequel to the rise of the Achaemanid Empire.
Iran has fallen very far compared to what it once was...
For the Sassanian Empire!
In the west, the Romans, in the east, the Gog Turks, in the south, the Arabs, in the north, the Khazars, all of them were united and intended to destroy Iranshahr, but Iranshahr defeated them every time.
@@zitka123 They were not Arabs, they were Muslims, the Muslim caliphs were always a religious authority, not a government, only the Rashidin caliphs ruled, which did not last for 100 years, in the Sassanid-Muslim war, many Iranians were on the side of the Muslims, one of whom was Salman Farsi, whom the Prophet loved very much. The Turks were only the Eastern Turkic Seljuqs who had Iranian culture, the rest of the Turks were Iranians like the Safavids and Afshariyas. Now the future president of Iran is a Turk, so the Turks are ruling Iran now?
@@Poiyti I know In the Aran didn't care about Ethnicity except Umayeed. Turks also adopted Iranian Culture and considered them as Iranian.
@@Poiyti Also Not only Turk Arab is also Adopted Persian Culture. Like in South Asia(India , Pakistan,Bangladesh) ,Indonesia and Malaysia has many Persian words and culture due to Islam.
@@Poiyti I just commented bcz there are many Iranian nationalist who made fun of other ethics and trying show Persian as superior. Sorry for my comment.
@@zitka123 Yes, the Umayyads were an Arab fascist government, where did you get this information from? where are you from? Today's architecture, which is also known as Islamic architecture, is an Iranian architecture. You can see the remains of the city of Tisfon, which is the same Islamic architecture today. As an Iranian, I am upset that our history, poets and scientists are considered Turkish or Arab. Ind, no nation is superior to another, but we only intend to protect our own identity, which is always violated by Arabs and Turks.
Today's ideal life is in the West, but at that time, the one who lived in Iranshahr was lucky, the peak of culture and civilization, beautiful architecture, Sassanid purple colors are very special and stunning.
On Persian warfare in general I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
Thanks for the information in this video

Thank you so much!
Since almost none of the Sassanid victories against the Romans were mentioned, here's a list (it's long)
Ardashir Babakan defeated the Romans at the siege of Nisibis 235 and his forces raided Cappadocia along with Syria and reconquered Armenia
He also defeated three Roman armies one lead by emperor Alexander Severus himself in Mesopotamia
Based on a rock relief in Iran's Azerbaijan, the Roman army in Armenia was also defeated
Severus lost the battle of Ctesiphon 233 to the Sassanids but before that, Ardashir crushed his vanguard before arrival of Alexander and it's likely that the third Roman army was also defeated after Severus loss and so Ardeshir was able to repel all three Roman armies marching against him
Shapur I defeated 3 Roman emperors and even captured one of them
Based on one of the Sassanid tablets, Gordian III also died in one of these battles
Each Roman army had between 60,000-70,000 men outnumbering Shapur 2-1
He won the battle of Misiche (60,000 Romans), battle of Barbalissos (60,000 Romans), battle of Edessa (70,000 Romans), siege of Antioch 253, siege of Dura Europos 256, plundered 37 Roman cities in his second Roman campaign and plundered 36 Roman cities in his third, all of this while always being outnumbered 2-1 and yet he won all the wars
Emperor Valerian was captured, emperor Philip the arab was humiliated and forced to pay heavy tribute while emperor Gordian III was defeated and probably killed in battle of Misiche against Shapur I according to Sassanid sources
Odenathus didn't even fight Shapur's army in a battle he just attacked him from behind while he was already going back to Iran and still, Shapur kept most of his men, prisoners, plunders and loots
He even had the time to raid Syria after this clash with Odenathus which means Odenathus army suffered heavy casualties and couldn't stop Shapur at the time even after that so called victory
Odenathus failed to take Ctesiphon twice and was defeated at the battle of Ctesiphon 263 by Shapur and failed to conquer the city once again in 266
There's a lithograph/stone carving which scholars believe it shows the victory of Sassanid king, Bahram II over emperor Carus and his brother, the Kushan king, after a successful military campaign in the east against the Kushans
Some scholars even say Carus might have been killed in a Sassanid counter attack or skirmish and not by a lightning like the Romans claim
Before Narseh was defeated, he defeated Romans at the battle of Carrhae 296 and also in two other battles and inflicted heavy casualties on the Romans and if he had won one last time, the Romans would've been completely defeated that year
One of Shapur II small armies defeated a much larger Roman army at the battle of Samarra 363 and a Sassanid killed emperor Julian by shoving a spear in his chest
Shapur himself defeated the second Army in Armenia
After that, the Sassanids retook Armenia, 15 fortresses and western Mesopotamia
Check out Perso Roman peace treaty of 363 which was a humiliation for Rome and made up for the Sassanid defeat at Satala
Before that, he sacked Amida and even though he was forced to retreat at the battle of Singara, he returned that same night and defeated the emperor in a night attack, retook his camp, routed the Roman army which was forced to retreat while suffering many casualties
He successfully besieged Bezabde in 360 AD and in the same year, the Romans were defeated at Bezabde again when they tried to besiege it
He also successfully besieged Singara at 360 AD
He also made Manuel Mamikonian of Armenia submit to him in the year 378 AD and thus reconquered Armenia again like years before when he defeated the Armenian queen and her son
Bahram Gur also defeated a Roman army but the war ended in a stalemate
However, he was able to repel them from Mesopotamia
Yazdegerd II raided Roman cities and the Roman emperor was forced to pay heavy tribute for him to leave
Under the Kavad I and his Khosrow Anushiravan, the Sassanids defeated the Romans in three wars in a row
The Anastasian war
Iberian war
Lazic war
All won by the Sassanids with the Romans forced to pay heavy tribute each time at the end of each war and losing more battles or sieges than the Sassanids in each of them
Khosrow destroyed the fortress of Dara in one of his campaigns which made Roman emperor go insane
He raided the Roman provinces several times and each time got tribute from the emperor
Khosrow even sacked Antioch
Even Belisarius, the best eastern Roman general was defeated several times by the Sassanids
Battle of Thannuris 528 (Sassanid victory)
Battle of Mindouos 528/529 (Sassanid victory)
Battle of Dara 530 (Roman victory)
Battle of Callinicum (Sassanid victory)
Battle of Nisibis (Sassanid victory)
Siege of Sisauranon (withdrawal of Belisarius army)
Two Roman forces that attacked Mesopotamia were also defeated before the battle of Thannuris
Battle of Anglon 543 (4,000 Sassanids defeated 30,000 Romans)
Bahram Chobin defeated Romans or Roman sponsored armies about three times or four times during the reign of Khosrow I and Hormizd IV
Hormizd IV or his generals also won a series of victories in raids and sieges against the Romans in Mesopotamia and their borders
Khosrow II generals, Shahrbaraz and Shahin, conquered half if not most of the Byzantine empire and held it for 10-16 years
They even defeated Heraclius himself once at the battle of Antioch 613 when he had 68,000 men while the Sassanids had 40,000
The Sassanids took true cross from Romans for years and defeated Heraclius once or twice more after that victory near Antioch
The war ended in a stalemate, not even a victory for any of the two

Strong and warrior women are not only in Greek mythology. In Persian mythology, there are many female legends, including female warriors and heroes with epic stories, along with the Persian poetry in Shahnameh (Book of Kings) that make it an amazing and full feeling work. Many people in Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan know these stories due to cultural similarities, but i hope one day, these histories will be global in the world, just as we know the Greek legends. I am pretty sure all countries gonna enjoy knowing theses stories as much as us :)

@@zitka1231- Crassus campaign, Roman invasion repelled
Battle of Carrhae, Romans lost even though they outnumbered the Parthians more than 4-1 in open lands (43,000 Romans vs 10,000 Parthians) and after that, the Parthians plundered the lands of Judea, Syria and southern Anatolia
Armenia also went under the Parthian rule again
Few years later, after a previous setback in a series of skirmishes with Cassius and another Roman commander, Pakur/Pacorus forces heavily defeated Lucius Decidius Saxa near Antioch
He fled to Cilicia where he was captured and executed by the Parthians
His legions reportedly suffered heavy defeats again and several of his aquilae were seized, being returned to Rome first after a brief Roman war against Parthia and negotiations after the disastrous defeats of Mark Antony
Pacorus forces also defeated pro Roman Jewish forces of high priest Hyrcanus II, Phasael, and Herod (this is before Ventidius campaign)
2-Second Roman invasion after Ventidius campaign
Mark Antony Atropatene campaign, 32,000-45,000 of Antony's army of 127,000 men were killed by the Parthians while the Parthians had only 40,000-50,000 soldiers
They also defeated the Romans at the battle of Urumia 36 BC
Mark Antony came back for another campaign against the Parthians with the help of a traitor Median king but was again pushed back and forced to go back to Rome because of his rivalry with Octavian while the Parthians and their new Armenian allies defeated his and the Median king's forces and brought Armenia under the Parthian rule again
3- Roman Parthian war 58-63 AD
The Parthians were victorious at the battle of Rhandeia and inflicted a heavy defeat on the Roman army
They made Romans build a bridge so that the Parthian Shahanshah can pass the river while sitting on his royal elephant
Even made Romans go under their spears, which was the most humiliating thing for Roman legions
By the end of this war, the Parthians reconquered Armenia again
There were 7 Parthian capitals in several different regions of the empire in total and whenever Ctesiphon was sacked, the Romans faced no Parthian army
Trajan attacked when the Parthians were in a civil war (both because of the Parthian usurper, Osroes I, who betrayed the treaty of Rhandeia) and still lost all the conquered cities to Iranian rebels in a few months after he left
Even during Trajan's invasion, the Parthians gained some victories
Trajan failed to take Hatra, which avoided a total Parthian defeat and he himself was wounded during the siege
The Parthian forces attacked key Roman positions, and Roman garrisons at Seleucia, Nisibis and Edessa were evicted by the local populaces and the Romans were pushed out of Mesopotamia with the defeat of Trajan's puppet king thus reconquering all the territories that were lost during the invasion and fighting Romans off to a stalemate
The Parthians may have been defeated at the end of the Roman Parthian war of 161-166 but before that, they defeated and routed two Roman armies in Armenia and Syria and even successfully besieged Edessa in 163
They might have won in the end if it wasn't for a plague
4- The war of Caracalla
Ever since the treaty of Rhandeia, a Parthian prince from Arsacid dynasty picked by the Parthian king himself, would sit on the throne of Armenia but was crowned there by Romans (they became a different branch of the Arsacid dynasty)
Caracalla chose to preoccupy himself with an invasion of Armenia
He appointed a freedman named Theocritus as the leader of the invasion, which eventually ended in a disaster for Romans who were defeated by the Parthian Armenian rebels and repelled from Armenia
After that, the Parthians won the battle of Nisibis 217 AD and the Romans were forced to pay a heavy tribute of 200 million sesterces which equalled the wealth of the richest man of the Roman republic, Crassus, the Roman general at the battle of Carrhae

Iran is power
General culture
Origin of the Sasanians:
The Sassanians established their empire. The Sassanian Empire was founded in 224 AD and continued until the emergence of Islam.
They were interested in science and arts, and practiced medicine and commerce.
The founder of the Sassanid Empire was (Ah Radshir), the Kurdish father of (Babak) from the sect of sheep herders (Shevankara), and his mother (Bayek) was the daughter of members of the Kurdish (Bazerniki) clan. It is said that he lived 88 years and spent 25 years as emperor. The last Sassanian emperor was named (Yeh-Zidi-Kord), who remained in power for 20 years in power and the empire.
There were 29 successive emperors during the period of their empire, and their capital was “Mada Yan,” which was later called Al-Mada’in, which was 29 farsangs away from the city of Baghdad.
Colonel Dohousa said in 1863: The large head, strong muscles, black hair and broad eyebrows of the Kurds are exactly identical to the characteristics of the ancient Sassanians.
Al-Tabari says: (Ah Radshir) is the son of (Babak) Ibn (Sasan) Ibn (Babak) Al-Zarari.
Yaqut al-Hamawi says in Mu'jam al-Buldan: What reminds us of the Sassanids is their city (Al-Mada'in), which was called (Kurd Awa).
Strabo says: He (Ah Radshir) surpassed the Persians, and his name is not (Shah Nasha), and this makes it clear that he is a Kurd, because any person who did not rule a nationality other than his own will not become Shah Nasha.
The history of Mosul indicates that (Ah Radshir) established the mighty Sassanid state with the support and assistance of the Medes. (Ah Radshir) fought Sultan (Ardwani), the last resident of (Hakhame), because he was a Persian.
Al-Tabari mentions in the first chapter and on page 478 the text of the letter that Arduan the Persian sent to Ah-Radshir after the second war between them, in which he expresses his discontent, helplessness, and defeat: “You have defeated your stage and have sought your death, O Kurd, raised in the tents of the Kurds. Who gave you permission?” In the crown that you wore and the country that contained it and whose kings and people were absent, and who ordered you to build the city that you founded (in the desert)?

Timesitheus, Gordian III's father in law and praetorian prefect, absolutely crushed Shapur I in a major battle at Resaina in 243 A.D. Thereby regaining all of Roman Mesopotamia including Carthage, Nisibis, and Singara. Then he died of dysentery. Had he lived Gordian III's war would have finished just like Rome's wars against the parthians did under Septimius Severus, Marcus Aurelius, and Trajan: with the sack of Ctesiphon, and complete victory. Shapur I never faced a first rate commander in the West between the death of Timesitheus up until he faced Odenathus.
Nice try, I would say you didn't face our best at the time when mattered
Shapur was fighting rebels in Tabaristan, Khorasan and Sakastan during the battle of Resaena 😂
Plus Shapur brutally retaliated that defeat one year later by crushing the Roman army at the battle of Misiche in which Gordian III was killed and the Sassanids retook all of the lost territories 😂
None of those Roman emperors you named faced ANY Iranian army during their campaigns 😂
At least Shapur faced armies and defeated Odaenathus too 😂
And btw all of Trajan's conquered cities were retook by Iranians 😂
bro i see you everywhere, hahahah you envy us. Shapur> Gordian, Philip and Valerian, cry harder
Shapur and bahram crushed tork e khars
The Sassanids were a mediocre empire which got vassalized by Turkic Nomads such as White Huns, and even Gokturks, The Eastern Roman’s managed to Inflict heavy defeats on them aswell giving their greatest ruler Shapur I embarrassing defeats, furthermore the Sassanids respectively were conquered by a Arab Tribal confederation.
😂 never read so much nonsense before. Which Persian broke your heart?
The Sassanid empire will always be remembered.
When you pass, nobody will remember you.
BAHRAM CHUBIN ENTER THE CHAT!!
According to the script writer of the battle of Edessa in Historymarche channel there's a source which indicates that Ardashir Babakan defeated a Hunnic king during his eastern campaigns (if anyone knows anything about it, please do tell)
Shapur II fought them and in the end they were made to serve in the Sassanid army (most probably after a Sassanid victory) in their battles with Rome
In year 395, during the reign of Bahram IV, two Hunnic armies under Basiq and Kursich that had entered the middle east through the Caucasus, were defeated by the Sassanids (probably lead by Bahram IV himself) in Mesopotamia and lost all of the spoils and prisoners they had stolen during their raids
During the reign of Bahram V (who is called Bahram Gur because of his obsession with hunting onagers), while Bahram was occupied with the war with the Romans, his eastern neighbours, Kidarites, crossed the Oxus river and invaded the Sasanian realm, conquering the rich city of Merv and even reaching as far as westwards as Ray
However, Bahram made peace with Rome, passed through the mountain chain on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, eventually reaching Merv
There his forces routed the Kidarites, killing their king in the process and capturing his wife
A general of Bahram pursued the Kidarites into Transoxiana and inflicted another heavy defeat on them
The war was concluded in 427, with Bahram cementing his name as a great champion of Iran
The name of Bahram was long remembered amongst the people of the surrounding area
The Sogdian city of Bukhara would later mint coins with his image
Between the year 435 to 440 the Huns under the infamous Attila and Bleda invaded the Caucasus but were heavily defeated in Armenia by the Sassanids which made them abandon their invasion plan and flee back to Europe
In 450, Yazdegerd II launched an expedition into deep Kidarite territory in Central Asia, raiding and capturing forts and cities, which resulted in the accumulation of many captives and riches and managed to secure the eastern portion of his empire against the Kidarite incursions
Few of Yazdegerd's Armenian generals were also able to repel some Hunnic attacks in the east
The Kidarites did defeat one of Yazdegerd's generals but the war continued and they were finally completely defeated once by Peroz I (He defeated Kidarite king Kunkhas) and then again by a Sassanid Hephthalite alliance but the Sassanids and Hephthalites became enemies and then the Sassanid king, Peroz I, was defeated 3 times and killed in the end and most of eastern Sassanid provinces were conquered by Hephthalites
However, the Hephthalites were stopped and defeated by an Iranian noble called Sukhra of the house of Karen but since most of the Sassanid army was lost during those 3 battles, they weren't able to take back the lost territories
After Peroz I and most of his successors were killed in battle and his army was destroyed just like in his previous two clashes against the Hephthalites, Surkhab quickly installed Peroz brother, Balash, on the Sassanid throne, regrouped the rest of the Sassanid army and marched against the Hephthalite king, Khushnavaz
When he reached Gorgan, Khushnavaz was informed of Surkhab's plan of attacking him, he prepared his men for battle and sent a message to Surkhab, asking him his name, official position and intentions
Surkhab shortly sent a message back, informing him of his name and position
Khushnavaz thereafter sent another message, warning him of doing the same mistake as Peroz I
However, he wasn't discouraged by Khushnavaz words and even raided Hephthalite territories, met Hephthalite king's army in battle and inflicted a heavy defeat on him
This made Khushnavaz sue for peace which Surkhab would only accept if the Hephthalites would give him everything that had been seized from Peroz camp including all his treasures and royal treasury, his chief priest and Peroz daughter, Perozdukht
His demands were accepted and peace was made
He then returned to Ctesiphon, where he was received with great honor by nobles and people
In 503, Kavad I countered a Hephthalite attack and in 508, a Sasanian campaign led to the conquest of the Zundaber (Zumdaber) Castellum, associated with the temple of az Zunin in the area of ad Dawar, situated between Bust and Kandahar
Based on the Sassanid coin found in Merv, it's indicated that the Sassanids under Kavad I defeated the Hephthalites and reconquered Khorasan
Khosrow Anushiravan, allied with the Gokturks, and conquered the southern half of the Hephthalite empire while the Gokturks conquered the northern half
The Hephthalite king, Ghadfar, and what was left of his men, took refuge in Sassanid empire under Khosrow
Gokturks sent a delegate with gifts to strengthen the alliance
They made a treaty and sent, Faghanish, the Hephthalite who was supposed to be their own puppet king to Ctesiphon to be approved by Khosrow who made Faghanish and his kingdom into his own vassal instead
In 562, Khosrow defeated the Hephthalites AGAIN and also stopped the threat of Turks
Sinjibu attacked the Sassanid borders but in the end, gave his daughter's hand in marriage to Khosrow Anushiravan (probably after a Sassanid counter attack)
Embarrassing defeats ? 🤣
Shapur I changed the battle tactics of the Iranian army and was fighting an opponent that had battle equipments equal to his men if not better and armies that surpassed his own, in numbers
Before he became king of kings, he fought in his father's army in conquest of the Parthian empire at the battle of Hormozdgan, Kushan empire, Atropatene, Caucasus, Punjab, Chorasmia and was also present in his father's raids in the Roman territories and his victory over a Hunnic king, plus at the battle of Ctesiphon 233
And probably in the clash between two Roman and Sassanid armies before that
All of which were successful for the Sassanids
He personally besieged and sacked Hatra which even Romans failed to take over during their three invasions of Mesopotamia during the Parthian era
He even defeated the Medians of the mountains
After he became Shahanshah, he defeated 3 Roman emperors and even captured one of them personally (Valerian) and probably even killed one according to the Sassanid sources
Based on one of the Sassanid tablets, Gordian III died at the battle of Misiche
He forced emperor Philip the Arab to pay him heavy tribute and sign a peace treaty which was called most shameful treaty by Romans
Each Roman army had between 60,000-70,000 men
Although the only information we have about Shapur's numbers is at the battle of Edessa in which he had 40,000 men
It's probably safe to assume Romans were outnumbering Shapur 2-1 in his battles
Before his general's defeat at the battle of Resaena, he crushed three rebellions in Sakastan, Chorasmia and Tabaristan
When he returned to Mesopotamia, he brutally retaliated his general's defeat and won the battle of Misiche (60,000 Romans), battle of Barbalissos (60,000 Romans), battle of Edessa (70,000 Romans), siege Antioch 253, siege of Dura Europos 256, plundered 37 cities in his second Roman campaign and 36 in his third
After his clash with Odaenathus Shapur took his time raiding and sacking eastern parts of Odaenathus kingdom while he did nothing which means Odaenathus couldn't beat Shapur in battle like Romans claim
After that, Shapur even won against him at the battle of Ctesiphon 263 and once more again in Ctesiphon
Oh arab invasion ?
Sure ...
Let's just completely ignore Bahram Chobin rebellion, the rebellion of Heraclius predecessor, 3 Sassanid Gokturk wars, the 27 year war between Byzantines and Sassanids, plague, revolts, a Sassanid civil war right after the last Sassanid Byzantine war which lasted until after the battle of the bridge and caused 9-11 kings and queens sit on the Sassanid throne during the first 2 years alone, Slavic and Avar raids into the Byzantine empire, deaths of countless veteran generals and soldiers of two sides before the Arab invasion during the war and after that, execution and assassination of most of adult and royalties of the royal house of Sasan along with god knows how many generals and thousands of nobles of the seven great houses by Kavad II, a weak puppet king (Yazdegerd III) on the throne, the betrayal of Sassanid commanders, soldiers and engineers during the Arab invasion specially during battle of Al Qadisiyyah, siege of Ctesiphon and battle of Jalula (Watch kings and generals documentary about Muslim invasions) and finally the betrayal of Salman the Persian who told arabs everything about the Sassanid battle tactics and how to beat their armies
Those "nomads" armies numbers reached at least half of the numbers of their enemies in each battle they fought unlike what early muslim sources claim
An army can't win only because it has more numbers and better battle equipments when that army has no experience and worse when there's no competent general or king to lead it and this has been proven in history many times
Long live The Kurdish Sassanid Empire ✌️🔥

There are various historical reports about Ardeshir's ancestry. According to Tabari's report, Ardeshir was the son of Babak, the son of Sasan. Another story that is in Ardeshir Babakan's career, and Ferdowsi's Shahnameh also states the same, is that Ardeshir, born of the marriage of Sasan - a descendant of Darius III of Achaemenid with the daughter of Babak, was a local ruler in the state of Pars[P2].
The Sasanians were completely Persian and they were not Kurds
@@user-xf2gu9ln4w completely Iranic (kurdish ppl are iranic too)..... not only persians.... They called their state Eranshahr (Kingdom of the Iranians)
@@HejMeeeen
Yes, the Sassanians belong to all Iranian peoples, but when the Sassanians were from the Persian people, calling them Kurds is a pure mistake.
If the Arabs couldn’t hold Turks and mongols, why would Sassanian stand any chance?😊
Because they had defeated many Turkic and other nomadic armies such as Scythians (Iranian nomads) and even arabs before their final years 🙂
because sassanids were exhausted after a 20+ year long war with Rome, also civil wars and plagues, thats why iran lost against arabs. sassanids defeated gokturks 2 out of the 3 times, also the huns
All empires has rise and fall
God bless the Shahs
Real Zaza tribe

The Sassanians were Persians, they were not Zazas
@@user-xf2gu9ln4w sasa = zaza and there language is closer is Zaza then Farsi so was Parthian so was Avesta

Ardeshir, the founder of the Sasanian Empire, named his empire Sasanian because of his ancestor, who was named Sasan, not because of the Zaza people.
Likewise, all historians believe that the language of the Sasanian Empire was Middle Persian and Pahlavi Persian, not the language of the Zazas.
There is a video on TH-cam that recreates the language of the Sassanid Empire, and as someone who grew up speaking Persian, I understood 80% of it.
According to the Sasanian family tree, Ardeshir's ancestor was Sasan, and Sasan is a descendant of Darius III of Achaemenid, and Achaemenid were Persian.
@@user-xf2gu9ln4w are Persians as a country all from 1 tribe I don’t think so Zaza tribe is a part of Persian empire mate and a soldier part
