Will be eagerly waiting for the next video 🙏
Background music becomes too fucking loud and I can barely hear the narrator, do you even watch your videos before uploading?
What happened to khazar video
I really appreciate all the effort yall put in the videos. Could yall please do battle of Khandaq next please!❤
Fun fact, the Khazar Khaganate was founded by someone personally belonging to the Ashina lineage of the Gokturk dynasty.
Yes the centralization of Khazars as a polity was led by the Ashina dynasty of the Göktürks it also marked the beginning of Common Turkic languages slowly replacing Oghur Turkic in the Western Eurasian steppe
@@nenenindonuWhere is the source?
So were the Bulgars and the Huns. Ashinas held sway over Desht-i-Kipchak until Bordjgin lineage swept them from power.
Not exactly. I think it was more that the Khazars kept an Ashina clan member as titular head to give them rights to control other Turkic groups.
@GuidoMumin you sure? Thought it was the uyghurs who over threw the ashina for being corrupt...
Also, ashina was the rourans blacksmith slave until the gok turk rebellion bc the rouran chanyu refused marriage if his daughter to his "blacksmith slave"
Bulgar-Khazar enmity was something else a later Bulgar group of the Volga even converted to Islam (first Turkic tribe to do so) and made an anti-Khazar alliance with the Abbasids
That's not true Bulgar groups of the Volga river are white people européens and blue eyes blonde hair Acording to ibn fadlan when he mates them and mates there tribal chieftain they not turk people as you said
@@samiman5606 cringelarp
@@samiman5606 🪤
@@samiman5606 Bulgars are an Oghur Turkic ethno-tribal group and their language is well attested Volga Tatars and Chuvashs are their modern descendants
@@samiman5606 I think you have no idea about the history of the Turks just like ibn Fadlan who's yelling about the lack of ablutions between them Turks who lived in between nowaday Russian-Ukranian geo. (Yeah, washing yourself 5 times a day at -30 C degrees, such a great idea to kill yourself).
It is interesting that the social division Ak-Khazar and Kara-Khazar will resurface after centuries with the Turkoman dynasties Ak-Koyunlu and Kara-Koyunlu who reigned in Middle East
Proof that it was Khazar?
@@rebellefleur2993 😂😂 Qoyunlu were Turks.
@@Cdb90920 You have the comprehension of a work animal. I haven't said otherwise.
I had no idea that Khazars had such a rivalry with the Caliphates, or that their part in the origins of today Bulgaria. Thank you so much for your amazing videos.
Because it's fairy tale. I read Dunlop - all sources of Muslims about it are contradicing made up bs written 150-200 years after the events... It probably never happend

Khazars are father of Turks
bro who you think these modern day jews in israel decend from? and hteir hatred for muslims still carrys on til today

Love hearing about history like this on the fringe of major empires. I've played games like EU4 and CK2 and have wondered what caused states to drastically change in size and rulers so quickly. Videos like these really help fill in the blanks for me and I love it!
Try knights of honor 2 sovereign as well
Well said
Wow, thanks kings & generals, i've learning new things because this conflict never taught in my Islamic history class ❤❤.
Please make a video on the difference between Huns, Khazars, Mongols, Cumins, Tartars, Oguz, other turks like Seljuks, Ottomans and different older Khagnates...A brief history of steppes may be, people originating from steppes had a very important role in current world how it is today...
Mongols are not Turks, not that I'm complaining, but it needs to be emphasized
@@Karabulut96 Precisely my point for the video request...
there is many different and separate ethnic or nomadics tribes or feudals or clans
Why don't you start with Rene Grousset's "The Empire of the Steppes a History of Central Asia."? It's unsurpassed.
@@Karabulut96 Mongols are not Turks but the majority of the subjects of the Mongol Empire were Turkic and Turkic languages became the lingua franca over Mongolic. When the Russian states were under the Mongol Yoke, the invaders are called Tatars because they were mainly Turkic.
One thing i must say, is that how much the narration has improved over the years. Compared to old videos where the narration was very bland and boring, it has improved A LOT.
Had to or we’d get warweary just hearing about all the bloodshed
The only thing I knew about Khazars was that they converted to Judaism. I could learn more from now
Modern day Ukrainians aka “AshkeNAZI”, aka “Israelis”.
Crusader Kings?
My (Jewish) grandfather told me that the leader of the Khazars (a Khan?) asked missionaries from the three Abrahamic religions if they couldn't be their religion, what would they choose? The Christian and the Muslim both said Jewish, hence the conversion.
@@0giwan yeah nah, they were force converted at the edge of a blade. They were given the choice of 1 of the 3 Abrahamic religions. Before that they were Talmudic polytheists. Babylonians. Hence the “pagan” rituals and traditions carried on to this day. We just call them “the holidays”.
I was so surprised when I learned about the religion of the Khazar people in the Middle Ages. And knowing their descendants is quite widespread in western countries today
8:20 That is the best tie-in advertisement I have ever seen, LOL.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the same time, Seljuk Bey, the founder of the Seljuk Empire, was a commander affiliated with the Khazars. He was probably a Jew, then he became a Muslim and founded the Seljuk state. How strange. Additionally, the Oghuz Turks, the ancestors of today's anatolians Turks, were also affiliated with the Khazar Khaganate. The reason the Khazars became such a powerful state in a short time was that most of the rulers were Turks involved in trade. That's why there were many mercenary units among the Khazars. Today, there are Jewish Turks in Crimea. During the Ottoman period, they earned money by trading slaves. I don't know if they have any connection with the Khazars.
According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus, there was a strong connection between Turks and Khazars. He says: the nation of the Turks had of old their dwelling next to Chazaria...at that time they were not called Turks, but Sabartoi asphaloi. They lived together with the Chazars for three years and fought in alliance with the Chazars in all their wars. Their first voivode called Lebedias married a noble Chazar lady but had no children...Then the Pechenegs came and drove out the Turks. Most of them settled in the east, in the regions of Persia.
the reall reason of how khazar become kinda powerful is ummyad was conquering the world from france into china border , and khazars place not so important
The founder of Seljukia is Tughril.
Khazars are Turkic and Turkic people were far spread from borders of Mongolia to Europe
@@EM-tx3ly yes they were. The Byzantines did not always distinguish them for the general term Turks. That is because the Khazars were part of the Great Western Turkish Khaganate. Same applies for the Armenian and Georgian sources. They autonomously sprang out when the Western Turks were troubled by civil wars. Arab sources (7th - 8th c.) use both Khazar and Turk. Al-Mas'udi however mentions that the Khazars are amongst the Ughuz, the Karluks, the Kimek. Some Chinese sources and Theophanes of Byzantium equate Khazars with Turks. 💪💪
Ive been asking about this and wasn't disappointed. I never am with your content!
OMG! I was literally browsing the channel to see anything about Muslim vs Khazar wars and this got posted just few hours ago! Thank you!
2:14 For the ancient Turks, the names of colours were connected with the four cardinal points. Each colour had a symbolic meaning Mavi(blue)-east, Kırmızı(red)-south, Ak(white)- west, Kara(black)-north and Sarı(yellow) -middle. Guess where Blacksea name comes from :)
Al and Qyzyl/Kızıl were both more common names for red whether as region or color than Kırmızı was
kara also meant noble, for example among the karakhanids
Mavi is also Persian, that word was adopted through the Seljuks. Most Turks called blue "gök".
@@Karabulut96 In contrary Kara means inferior. For example Kara Budun refers ordinary people without any title.
@@alibak5537In modern Turkey, it was different throughout history
Discovering the lesser-known conflicts and alliances, like the rivalry between the Khazars and Caliphates or the Bulgar-Khazar enmity, adds fascinating depth to history. It's like solving a puzzle that reveals surprising connections and dynamics. Thank you for shedding light on these intriguing historical narratives!
Thanks for another wonderful video! I really appreciate the 4k content as well.👏
The videos of kings and generals seem to have more impeccable graphics, with a bigger budget, congratulations on your immense dedication to bringing quality content, one of the few channels that perfectly documents stories and research,Taking advantage of the Khazars, I would like to see a continuation of the series, nomadic civilizations such as Avars, Uighurs, Rouran, etc.
caspian sea is called khazar sea by locals in countries around it
This video showed me the reasons why the Khazar Khans and the Roman Emperors decided to form an alliance with one another. Thank you, Kings and Generals! I love it!
Umayyads: I defeated the Khazars and made them pay tribute to me
We were there back in times of Byzantium-Sasanian war, As sabirs (later big part of Khazar) If you see a video of byzantians making alliance with nomads during sasanian war, it was Sabir Turks
Fun fact: The Khazar Khaganate is symbolized as part of the presidential Seal of Turkey and is still in use today.
Such a underrated chapter of history amazing work as always guys
The introductory insights on the status quo during the climax of the event is good way of introduction
12:19 i love the second fitna map detail!
also the way you added örkhon script is also a nice touch 👌🏻
More videos about the Khazars!!!
Nice! I didn’t think you would cover Khazars again 😄😄
Excellent video 📹
Amazing Amazing
Can't wait for part 2
Thanks for the interesting video Kings and Generals.
I found the period between 600 and 1100 for this region was soo dramatic. How many empires and kingdoms were raised and fallen.
*There are a lot of videos made on the Battle of Talas. Yet nobody has ever made videos covering the clash between the Tang and Umayyad empires.*
Really interesting, thank you Kings & Generals.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😀
What an interesting episode. Very enlightening and entertaining.
Another Excellent Episode!
I was waiting for this ❤
Great! Looking forward from Chuvashia to more episodes about Volga Bulgaria.
Among the turkic tribes, the Khazars had the coolest name.
As a Turk, I don't necessarily disagree. Its just that it sounds cool in English. But in Turkish, Oghuz, Nogay and Tuvan sounds so much cooler.
@@yusassin1449 Jie, Khalaj, Alat, Sabir, Barsil, Shatuo... way too many names that sound good hard to pick one as no1

I love this history and work thank you so much
Informative and interesting video with great looking graphics and maps.
Can't agree on maps, especially on the Sassanids eastern borders and west of Caucasus
@@ramtin5152 Can you shed some light for us?
@@Ghiyath981 Unlike what's shown in the video, west of the Caucasus and northwest of Mesopotamia weren't part of the Sassanid empire during or before the reign of Khosrow Anushiravan
Sure, most of the Caucasus was under Sassanid rule but one third of it, the western part, was under Roman rule
Again, unlike what was shown in the video, during the last Sassanid Byzantine war, most of the Byzantine empire was conquered (temporarily) by the Sassanids especially the Levant and Egypt
And finally those "kingdoms" in the east of the Sassanids were actually the names of CITIES, and most if not all of them, were part of the Sassanid empire and though there were indeed some kingdoms there, they weren't established until one, two, three or even four decades AFTER the fall of the Sassanids (which fell in 651)
Like Turk Shahis (established in 665), Zunbils (established in 680) or Turgesh Khaghanate (established in 699)
@@ramtin5152 The Southwest Caucasus was part of Lazica, not Byzantium.
@@Ghiyath981 Lazica was under Byzantine rule at least as a vassal which was even recognized by the Sassanids

Amazing video, thanks
As a Khazar and Sabir Turk, I really be honoured by your video. Congratulations 🎉
Fun fact; 4 of the 5 expansive Caliphate fronts were halted by Turks ; Khazars in Caucasus, Turgesh& Turk Shahis & Göktürks in Central Asia, Bulgars (allied with Romans) in Thrace and Huns in India.
So then on two of the fronts they were stopped by Romans. Not khazars.
Qutaiba ibn Muslim Turks slayer😂
Are you saying that huns were turk and they halted caliphate expansion in india.
Huns didn't halt calipharte expansion to India, Rajputs did(almost for 3 centuries).
Saying Huns were Turks is like saying British were chinese. And nobody stopped expansion towards india, caliphate only wanted Sindh coasts to control pirates. Qasim conquered Panjab for no reason at all. Caliph Suleiman basically killed all the conquerors from all fronts(Spain,India,central Asia,Iraq) within a year to erase his older brother's glory and thus he destroyed the expansion of the Caliphate
What happened to the original Khazar video?
Kings and Generals thanks for a good video I was watching your videos about the Napoleonic wars play list one war you didnt cover is the Finnish war 1808-1809 between Sweden (supported by Great Britain) and Russia (supported by France and Denmark - Norway) That war is definetly worth a video
I hear you
Thank you!
Freedman. proponent of the idea that Christianity fulfilled Judaism. The text expounds the notion that most people now identified as Jews are descendants of Khazars, a Turkic people of Central Asia who converted to Judaism. Freedman does not refer to Jews, but to "so-called or 'self-styled Jews
Most of these Khazars you will find today in modern Israel.
You're covering three wars that lasted a century in two videos? Either way I greatly appreciate it. It's not a subject that most people are even aware of.
Khazar Khangate is an important medieval kingdom that is mostly unacknowledged by most and misrepresented by a handful of conspiracists who possibly also hate Freemasonry and Illuminati. I found very few archaeological studies that did the historical Khazar Khaganate justice.
Thank you, Kings and Generals, for making this documentary.
Ooooh an origin story, everyone loves an origin story
Most of Ummyad victorys were in time of Abdul Malik , He seems to have chosen talented leaders and commanders but they ummayad empire start to decline after his reign was over, the heroes weren't treated well and bad choices were made by the caliphs who followed him.
That nordvpn ad injected into video is perfect :D
Awesome video
The Ashkenaz Jews originally come from the Khazars. They called themselves ashkenaz because of Ashena Wolf. In Turkiye, a city is called Ishkenaz because the Ashkenaz settled there.
The Khazars were not a tribe descending from someone else, but a political union from the tribes of the old Turkish or Gokturk Khaganate (the first Turk state, which was again not bound by blood ties - all subjects to the Khagan were Turks, regardless of origin, and they kept the designation after the great khaganate from the Black Sea to the Pacific collapsed) politically powerful in the Volga-Itil steppe.
The closest thing to a ‘blood origin’ would be the ruling dynasty, which presumably was of the Ashina clan that had once ruled the Gokturk khaganate - the Ashinas were descended from one Ashina or Asen, who was a minor tribal leader in what is now Mongolia, himself of unknown stock (the ethnic composition of the region then was not what it is now). But there are latter records of the Khazar Khaganate becoming an elective position with a 40-year term, so it’s unclear whether the Khazars were ruled by the Ashinas up to a point, or if the elections were held among Ashina scions (which is not confirmed in the source, which claims the Turks elected the ‘most virtuous’ to be Khagan).
As regards the Khazar people, they included pretty much every ethnicity that could be found in the Steppe - Turkics, Ugric-Uralic peoples, proto-Mongols, Iranics. In fact it was this easy-to-assimilate society which permitted the (probably Greek) Jews, driven out from the Roman lands, to intermarry, assimilate and then convert the entire Khaganate to Judaism (one may guess, via the election of an assimilated Turko-Judaic Khagan?).
Love the intricate weaving of the NordVPN promo into the content of the video cracks me UP, "nor do they demand such tribute" like the Khazars haha
Thanks for the video! Watched it just in time for my pizza delivery 😋
You made a mistake here Abu hurairah is the companion who is known for large corpus of hadith narration
Yeah, I also don't understand how photographic memory is going to help you with remembering knowledge that was passed on *auditory*, as Abu Huraira didn't write, nor was the Qur'an visually presented anyhow.
Khazar Khaganate. Never knew about them before now, Very interesting and enlightening to be honest.
11:45 I hope the photographic memory recorded the details of this amazing battle.
Abu huraira was a scholar and was more specialised in Hadith,Islamic tradition and Islamic jurisprudence
Hey there, can you guys make a mini series on the Turkish war of independence after this one.
They are going to do that at the end of the Ottoman Empire series. That is what I heard, but yeah I cannot wait for that one
In 1943, Abraham N. Polak (sometimes referred to as Poliak), later professor of the history of the Middle Ages at Tel Aviv University, published a Hebrew monograph in which he concluded that the East European Jews came from Khazaria.
Dear Kings and Generals ,once again you've proven to be among the best history sources online , and Im proud to be one of your faithful admirers ❤
will you make this series into a long form video?
ya
To their credit, the Caspian sea in today's Farsi is still in fact called the Khazar sea... they have left their mark well in the history of the land.
l appreciate the fact that Cyprus is shown as being co-ruled by the Caliphate and the Byzantines during the 7th century, nice attention to detail.
They have a Cypriot Archeologue in their script team, of course they wouldn't miss that

Khazar, member of a confederation of Turkic-speaking tribes that in the late 6th century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia. Although the origin of the term Khazar and the early history of the Khazar people are obscure, it is fairly certain that the Khazars were originally located in the northern Caucasus region and were part of the western Turkic empire (in Turkistan). The Khazars were in contact with the Persians in the mid-6th century CE, and they aided the Byzantine emperor Heraclius (reigned 610-641) in his campaign against the Persians. Britannica

Khazar’s descendants are known as Karaims and Krymchaks and they still exist but they have very small populations and their language is endangered.
European Jews: 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢
Karaims don't have Khazar DNA and their language is borrowed from Kipchaks and Crimean Tatars, not from the Khazar type of Turkic. The Karaims' ancestors were Jews who lived in the Byzantine Empire and Middle East. For further reading: Dan Shapira's article "Khazars and Karaites, Again" in Karadeniz Araştırmaları No. 13 (Spring 2007) on pages 43-64, and Kevin Alan Brook's article "The Genetics of Crimean Karaites" in Karadeniz Araştırmaları No. 42 (Summer 2014) on pages 69-84.
@@user-jr4kc6lu9q There is only one mass conversion to Judaism happened among Turks and thats with Khazars. Karaims and Krymchaks are descendants of Khazar groups who now spoke Kipchak dialects rather than being local Jews who learned Turkic language as a lingua franca. Their original dialects were altered with Kipchak possibly in times of Crimean Khanate. Their version of Judaism is also different from other Jewish groups.
I am dying to see a presentation of the Indian Mutiny of 1857.
Glad to see a presentation on the Khazars. Much of what I recall is that they were Jewish.
I knew that the Khazar Khanate was not founded by Tong Yabgu but by his nephew Böri Shad.
great clips about the Khazars, I hope after this is over you will do about the Bulgarians who split into two Danube and Volga and their interesting fates, and then about the Magyars and their attacks, how after Simeon the Great allied himself with the Pechenegs he pushed them out of the Black Sea to Pannonia and begin the destruction of Europe❤❤❤❤
Bulgarians are Bulgars are different people, Bulgarians are slavic(mosly) composite people but Bulgars are Turkic people. Still, I agree your suggestion. It would be great if a detailed video was made about the Bulgar they have a very interesting history. I'm especially very curious about the how Volga Bulgars the first Turkic tribe to convert Islam in Turkic history and how Danube Bulgars turning into a Slavic Christian state after the Kubrat Khan period.
@@CruWiT this is not completely true, the Bulgarians came to the Balkans and by no means assimilated several tribes of Severs, Smolyans, Strumyans and others, over time the Avars, Pechene and Cumans entered their country, who also over time assimilated the successors of the medieval Bulgarians and assimilated them of them are the modern day Bulgarians, as Franks Gauls Romans Scandinavians Britons and others form today's French, today's Bulgarians have more DNA of old Bulgarians than any other assimilated tribe, this hypothesis that.old Bulgarians are not the current ones is very weak if you read more
@@CruWiT The Volga Bulgarians are the opposite of the Danube Bulgarians, they became a minority and after the Mongol massacres and resettlements, their descendants have little or no DNA of the old Bulgarians, but some of the people still call themselves Bulgarians and keep their traditions from the old days, the Danube Bulgarians on the other hand, they easily dominate and assimilate the other tribes and their successors are massively with dominant Bulgarian DNA, but this does not matter, the nations are the fruit of the 18th and mainly the 19th century, there is no nation that is the successor of only one old tribe, most of them have more than 10 different ones, the Scandinavians are more clean if this is a correct statement
@@IvanIvanov-pl8bm I know this, my friend, the concept we call nation today is a political concept, otherwise it does not matter how much Bulgars or Slavic genes the DNA of today's Bulgarians carries.

Volga is Russian, in Turkic it is called Itil. So actually the term Itil Bulgar is more commonly used in Turkic literature.
@@HorvardPashaThese Bulgarians were funny when Ahmed bin Fadlan invited them to Islam. They used to say, “Does God resemble humans, does God have a wife, how can God live without a wife, and things like that?”
@@user-fl5mq9kp7g Ahmed Ibn Fadlan didn't invite them to Islam, you are getting some facts wrong.
Ibn Fadlan was sent there on a diplomatic mission and criticized their way of practising Islam, as the Itil Bulgars were the first Turkic Khagante to accept Islam as a state religion. He criticised that women have a say in politics and military or that men and women clean themselves in the river at the same time.
So in basic terms, the Itil Bulgars Ibn Fadlan found were a far cry from the ideal image of a Muslim to his time.
