After creating their empire, and subjugating Western Xia (Xi Xia) and the northern part of the Jin domain, the Mongols of Genghis Khan started looking towards the west. The actions of the ruler of the Western Liao (Qara Khitai) Kuchlug and the shah of the Khwarezmian empire Ala ad-Din Muhammad II gave the great khan a reason to attack Central Asia and Eastern Iran. Prosperous cities were turned to rubble and the population was massacred during a three-year campaign led by Genghis, Ogedei, Jochi, Chagatai, Tolui, Jebe, and Subutai. The son of Muhammad II - Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu was able to resist the invaders in the battles of Parwan and Indus river... The Mongol invasions were just starting...

Jalals escape across the Indus deserves a lot more attention. The battle was one the toughest Genghis had fought against a foreign foe in his career and victory came only when the flanking movement of Jebe ( across a mountain) succeeded. As a last attempt to turn the tide, Jalal charged the mongol centre with his heavy horse and nearly split the army. When it failed with Jalal fighting in the frontline, he turned his horse and jumped of a cliff 30 meters below into the river. It is said that Genghis ordered his men not pursue him for he was awestruck by Jalal's bravery in battle as well in the matter of his escape. He said: "How can such a weak ruler produce such a brilliant son! "
cope jala din a beta p0ssy that ran away no king or leader.
This is bs there no recorded words said by Genghis khan stop trying to suck turks
100%
It is said that respect was earned by both sides, as when the news of Genghis' passing reach Jalal, he is said to have mourned the death of his only equal and rival under the blue sky
All Mongolians respected Jalal-Ad-Din
There's a story here in Mongolia that after the envoys were killed, Genghis Khan spent 3 days and 3 nights alone at Burkhan Khaldun, the most sacred mountain in Mongolia and the mountain that blessed his family with the mandate to rule, to commune with the Eternal Sky and ask him for guidance on what to do with the Khwarezmians. He then supposedly descended the mountain and proclaimed Tenger (the sky) himself demanded the end of Khwarezm. Also the reason molten gold and silver was poured into Inalchuk's orifices was because it was widely believed by the Mongols that he captured the merchants to quickly increase his own coffers thus it was a punishment for his greed. This was also confirmed to be the inspiration for GRRM and Khal Drogo's "crowning" of Viserys in ASOIAF.
Fuck off... We'll be back, don't worry.
it is will of Tenger that great mongol soldiers should convert to fake religion and guide the foolish sheeps.
SAMAND33 dude really, this is a history channel take your religious mambo jambo somewhere else
Ertonts Choros exactly
Most Hindus and Buddhist in india believe Mongols where a blessing in disguise
Those who were killed via mongol sword empire was because they did something very bad in a past life now they have to pay for that and make karma equal
SAMAND33 Mongols today living in infinity peace protected by China & Russia, Allah loved mongols so much now they living in peace.

@@finlandball8672 mongols also totally defeated afganistan, which was a country british failed to invade. but not even the same time so no comparison
You trade and chill.
Give some men,
keep your people alive.
@@finlandball8672 India was never fully successful against the Mongol invasion. Alauddin just resisted for some time, but even during his lifetime NW India was occupied by Mongols. After the death of Alauddin Mongol invasion increased until decline of ilkhanate
"The massacres were committed without religious or cultural reasons"
Mongols being non-discriminatory during a time of religious and cultural conflict in Europe, so ahead of their time, yay?
Well, think Alexander. Pretty tolerant to everyone, but any sign of rebellion, and no matter if you are Greek or Persian or Phoenician, you are dead.
That makes massacres okay then? You libcucks think discrimination is worse than being slaughtered?
no name
I assume you're from a planet that completely lacks sense of humour. Let me explain, on earth we have this thing called a joke...
Achillez well I did read somewhere that he hated Muslims and killed them like drinking water.
So they are like democrats and USA today?! Destroying Libya or Syria in the name of diversity or freedom.
Killing over 90% of an entire empires population is pretty damn cruel.
Yeah, and also quite stupid economically.
Imagine putting blades through little kids.... that's what they did
No it’s not, the Mongols wouldn’t have survived the revolt if their weren’t a massive slaughter before hand.
It’s not the age of guns and modern weapon...you can’t handle a city with more than 1 million revolting, the only answer is to kill them all, reduce the population to a point where revolting is futile.
@@KingsandGenerals but at the same time, it led to nobody ever revolting. If they kept everyone alive, you'd see the Herat revolt 20 times over.
While the Khwarezmian army was in total larger than the Mongol army they never managed to concentrate their forces properly at other places than Parwan, thus allowing the Mongols to consentrate against them and defeat them in detail. It doesn't matter that you have 400.000 men to the enemy's 100.000 if you're only able to muster 60.000 of them while the enemy can bring all their 100.000 to bear.
Quality comment. March divided, fight united, indeed.
Indeed. It has been a method employed by SO many great commanders: Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Forrest, Hindenburg and Ludendorff, Rommel. Even Alexander the Great, famous for fighting battles against numerically superior enemies, would often achieve this on a tactical level at the decisive point of the battle(usually with himself at said decisive point at the head of his companion cavalry).
Yap, that's pretty much the lesson of this story. The mongolian army also had the advantage of insanely good mobility and discipline. This allowed them to concentrate their forces anywhere they wanted really fast, before the enemy could get their forces. Poor Kwarezmians, they never had a chance :(
1987MartinT Yeah I watched a video by Montemayor where he goes extensively in this topic regarding Stonewall Jackson.
The 400 000 numbers is an obvious exaggeration though.
"...deserves its own episode, and will be covered soon"
Heck yes!

I'm a simple person, I see Mongols I ......... Run away fearing for my life!!!
Jon Harper Fool,you can't outrun the Mongols
Genghis Khan The USA has need of your help against North Korea great khan
Completely agree ^^... EEEEExcept for Civ 5, there Mongols are jsut a laughing stock, sorry great Khan but you're misrepresented in this game :/
Why? Just accept their leadership and be part of a more modern society than the rest! Mongols were quite strict on their wartime policies, friends would be reward, foes destroyed.
You join the Mongols with open arms, you get a whole host of great rewards. Improved trade, better communications, safety of passage, cultural exchanges, and early globalisation. Only downside is the occasional massacres the mongols brought onto rebellions. Also, you get to enjoy 3 great civilizations and cultures in the muslims, persians, and chinese! Great food, brothels, arts, and academics! Another downside is disease. With safe passage and borderless communications, it's easier for diseases and viruses to spread. Although hygene and medicine could have prevented that
I'd rather be an "oriental" than a European in the medieval era. The West at the time is pretty much Cambodia today
Thanks for Lord because nowadays, Mongol become likely a little white kitten 🐈🐈

Jalaliddin counted as a national hero in Uzbekistan. We have his sculptures in Khwarazm region. Even if he was defeated, still he did his best to save our region. Still many people give the name of Jalaliddin to their children. Uzbek people have high level of respect to him, because he is our ancesstor!
He was a great warrior. Few people who could rise upto Mongols.
He was respected by all Mongols.
He was a idiot who destroyed middle east after his lands destroyed. He maked mongols win wars in middle-east
He was an afghan

Is it just me or are the maps on this video extra cool? Especially the one of the area around Khorasan, it reminds me of Tolkein for some reason.
Thank you, good sir. :-)
Jack Rackam yeah, seems like myself on the battlefield
The maps are well done, but they aren’t the style of Tolkien’s at all.
The fertile mountain pass reminded me of the narrow Riddermark from Arnor into Rohan and risking coming in close with Isengard.
Kings and Generals great video design. I especially liked when the armies crashed together making a marble sound cracking. So satisfying for battle recaptures
Take a shot every time a city gets sacked
Bottoms up
There is not enough водка in the world. :-)
I ransss outsof the boose...imagonna pass out now
Nikola Ćuković
Lol 😂😂
One of the Mongol general himself won over 60 battles, so good luck with the shots lol
And that's just the beginning of one of the bloodiest conquests in history. The conquest that will lead them as far as to Eastern Europe... I just can't wait for the next episodes of this series. The narrative and editig of this videos is so immersive.
Yeah, and soon we will cover Kalka, Legnica and Mohi, so it gets better (worse?).
Depends on whether you support the Mongols or not. ;) wink2
We all know, what happens when you try to resist them.
+temka088 "We all know, what happens when you try to resist them." --- You kick their asses so hard that they flee from battle before it even begins like Tatars did at Vienna when they heard that King Jan Sobieski is in command? ;P
+Kings and Generals "Yeah, and soon we will cover Kalka, Legnica and Mohi, so it gets better (worse?)" --- A mix of both perhaps. If you mention the battle of Racibórz that preceded the Legnica I'll be happy ;)
If you consider Ottomans, Mongols, you need to reevaluate the books that you have read on history. It's like calling Poles are Russians.
Constructing a false logical chain -> if poles are Russians, russians were tributaries to Mongols- > poles were tributaries to Mongolia? They look similar, dress similar, speak similarly and pray to a naked dude on a cross put on top of their buildings, i dont see a difference. ))
+temka088 I think you have serious problems with reading. I never called Ottomans Mongols. Read my comment once again. I was clearly referring to Tatars from Crimean Khanate.
Jalaladdin was so brave that he replied to a threatening letter by Ghengiz Khan with the words - "Show me where you want to fight, I will be there". He almost captured Ghengiz Khan in a battle. Ghengiz Khan, a brave man himself, had a high opinion of Jalaladdin.
which battle?
What fake potion you are you taking?
Fake history
@@iacko12345he did admire Jalaladdin
Haha. Fake
The khwarezmi empire under the incompetent shah did indeed have a much bigger army than the mongols, some speculate a total of 500k across all his garrisons but the reason he failed to unite them was that firstly he believed the mongols to be poor at siege warfare (incorrectly) and that his garrisons would inflict heavy damage on raiding mongol armies....but secondly and mainly the reason shah didnt unite the majority of hos forces was being a tyrant he distrusted his own army and was advised not to unite his army due to high chance of them rebelling against him as he had a huge mercenary contingent in his armies who were not the most loyal type....I spent years researching the fall of Khwarezm and the struggle of the shah's son jalaludin againt the mongol. Btw this jalaudin was quite the man with an ambition to match even genghis himself, it is said when the situation at the indus river battle near kalabagh became untennable and the prince had to retreat through hordes of mongols and making it to a sharp cliff he rode straight down it to the river, the great khan was so impressed by his bravery and determination that he ordered his archers not to fire arrows at him and let him escape that day..
Great Khaan will never do that. You don't know our mentality. Hehe. HE IS KHAAN. He will never pursue a paltry prince who is worth even less than his sons and also betrayed his father. He just sent his general Subedei and one of his sons to find and kill him. That's all and don't write here your sick imaginations!!!
@@tulgatseg3144 factual history disagrees with your delusions

@@tulgatseg3144is that real source because at that time whoever wrote that book was afraid of Chengez Khan and probably wanted a better end

Yes

I love everyone who gets this
Crash Course lmao
Crash Course World History - John Greene. Its a running gag on that channel, where the Mongols are an exception to every past civilization. And he keeps playing this fun montage every time the Mongols come up
And they could've just traded with the Mongols and live happily ever after... BUT NOOOOO.....
Well, I think it was a ruse.
You think war was inevitable no matter the Khwarezm's decision?
It is possible that they would concentrate on China first, but Khwarezm was on the borrowed time.
the merchants were apparently muslim too, I don't understand how one man can be so autistic
Isaac Lyons eh, feudalism in a nutshell
Jalal ul din - a heroic general and a symbol of hope for Central Asians even up until now. Legends say even Great Khan himself admired his courage.
Nevertheless a fool of a father he had, who provoked Mongols and brought the worst genocide in the history of Turkic people of Central Asia
It is mentioned that Genghis actually praised the prince for his bravery in the Secret History of the Mongols. Genghis actually loved heroic commanders. He would always give a proper burial to an enemy general who chose to die in battle.
And your country is a fat bird that cant even fly EleGiggle
Arda Baştürk Think you're pretty dillusional friend. What other "videos"? I just responding to the PAN-Turkish guy making fun of Mongols. So saying Mongols are scum is fine, but it exceeds the limit when someone just makes slightly fun of Turkish nationality? ok ok
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Tengri -PanTurkist- الله U don't represent Turkey as a whole,what a disgrace,no respect for other nations.
Muhammadaziz Tojiboev my friend u r wrong
The genocide happened againsts Tajik(persian) people as those regions were filled with Tajiks and the Turks were minority
Although both groups were massacred
I’ve been waiting for this episode ever since I listened to Wrath of the Khans by Dan Carlin. You guys finally did it and absolutely nailed it! Amazing episode!

Do you like pineapple on pizza?
George Kolev did mongols attacked india? If not? Why?
Love both, but separately please :D
Right so, they did raid India as it is mentioned in the video, but no major campaign was launched against them. 3 reasons - 1 They were constantly busy with some other front - China/Middle East/Europe. 2 The climate was absolutely terrible for them and 3 There was no envoy killing/assistance of an enemy. Jalal ad-Din's request for help from the Delhi Sultanate was denied.
George Kolev why is parwan not as famous as ain jalut
The mongol destruction of khwarezm is painful to hear no matter how many times I've read into it. BTW the video was great, thanks for uploading such quality historical content.

@Soundwave 47 I'm a Taiwanese and I totally agree with you.Mongols killed about 80%Chinese people during their conquest.They destroyed lots of civilizations.

Impeccable and great videos !! Great story telling, editing, script, facts etc. Very informative. Keep up the great work !!👍
Thanks.
Thank you for making these videos. I love them. very well made and informative.
I was born in Khorezm and grow up there, thanks for such a good video but Samarqand was not our capital but Khiva and then Urganch and also number of army solider of Khorezm was more than Mongolian . It was a big fault of Khorezm Khan ,anyway nowadays Khorezm is located in Uzbekistan. i know many people around the world don't know about Uzbekistan a lot. It is such a beautiful Multinational Country which has inhabitants who is so friendly and Hospitable. PEACE !!!
Thanks for watching!
I really love how you guys telling the actual cases how they happened with a catchy way instead of commenting about them. I wish some history teachers show these videos to their classes.

Thank you very much. :-)
It nearly destroyed my country and annihilated all its population :(
I remember during my history session in school we studied that the person who captured those envoys and merchants was relative of kings mother and under influence of his mother he didn't even punish the governor
Yep, the Khwaresmian government was not stable and the court was full of intrigues.
The mother of the Shah was power hungry and was basically manipulating Shah Mohammed. She also had a a stupid and unnecessary feud with her Grandson Jalal Al Dins Mother. Both women belonged to different Turkic groups. Genghis Khan knew of the family feud and basically used it to his advantage by forging Royal documents with a stolen Royal seal and using those documents to further cause disunity within the Kwarizmians. The Kwarizmian Royal family were morons. The Father and Grandmother helped destroy their Royal dynasty and Empire whilst the Grandson made enemies with the Seljuks and Abbasids. Also the Grandson Jalal Al Din massacred thousands of Armenians and Georgians when sacking their cities to obtain funds for further rebellions against the Mongols. The Kwarizmian Royal family were a lost cause.
Are u from iran
@Ariyan Eighty wow nice
Good to meet Persians😊
Good video. That ride across the desert was amazing
Just love this period of history. I'm from Kazakhstan and all Kazakh Khans were direct descendants of Chengis Khan (and his first son Jochi) This dinasty ruled here until 1847, when the last ruling Chingisid, national hero of Kazakhs, Kenesary Khan was killed by pro-Russian forces. We have a tribe Töre - which is direct descendants if Chengis Khan, and only Töre could become a Khan of Kazakhs. Even in Mongolia itself Chengis' dinasty didn't last so long
Well Chengis' dinasty didn't existed in first place.
@@shadow4force hahahahahahaha
@@CenturionKZ hahahahaha
You kazakhs were our slaves. Don't be fooled that you are the descendant of Chingis Khaan, you were just slaves. Nothing else. And I'm from Mongolia btw
@@pujejs1685 stop stirring tribal conflict between Kazakhs and Mongols. Just ignore that dumb Kazakh guy. Most Kazakhs don’t think like him. He doesn’t know Chinggisid lineage went all the way into 1910s in Mongolia
Great series. Perhaps one day you'll cover all the steppe "empires", from the Rouran to the Khazars and the last Khaganates in Western Eurasia.
Your videos are so great, that I can watch them all over again in a whole day.
I wish your videos cold be use in schools to replace boring books and teachers.

Thank you, more on the way.
Always loving your videos...
Guys! love your Work. Watched all your videos. i couldn't stop my self to comment after watching this video. Because i live very close to the exact location of Battle of Indus. Indus is a mighty river. Area is mountainous. the rock on the bank of indus river from which Jalal ud din jumped into indus on the back of his horse is really high and vertical. If you see it with your own eyes, u won't believe that it had happened. Interesting fact is that the exact area and village there is called " Ghora Tarap" in local language which means " Horse Jump".
After entering india, Jalal ud din established his headquarter in current day Pakistan and fought his whole life against mongols. Jalal ud din is the symbol of struggle and bravery.
You mean he hide rest of his life.
Read the History and you will know where was he hiding....
uneesshah
Indus area is not mountanious at all.
uneesshah
You are right. Gengez khan said.
Bravo to the mother who gave birth to this son.
If I had o my one son like him I’ll defeat the entire world
I am God's wrath on earth. If you had not committed such great sins, God would not send a punishment like me!
Genghis khan
"Man's greatest joy is to slay his enemy,plunder his riches,ride his horses,see the tears of his loved one's and embrace his women"
He had some great quotes
Hahaha yes
I believe such great men are always the special powers
He is the second scourge of god the eternal sky sent to world after Attila.
do you really believe in such silly fairy tales as heaven and hell
The mongols. Was fucked in delhi sultanate and in al india the mongols never conkers all india for long times after the egiptian he kick ass the mongols armyes
Another brilliant video👌
keep up the good work.
Thank you, we will. :-0
thank you for this amazing video. hope to see more.
Thank you! Working on the second season. There are 4 more episodes in this one.
even if the sultan of the khwarezm didn`t kill the mechants
the mongols would of found a reason or made up a one to invade the khwarezm
I tend to agree with that.
Perhaps the Mongols would have found another reason to invade Khwarezm had the Shah not been so foolish, but before that they would put more efforts on conquering China and the rest of East Asia. The Mongols would then be assimilated like all steppe invaders of China had been and perhaps look elsewhere? Kublai Khan did plan on invading the Indonesian islands after all and might not stop there. Who's up for some Mong-stralian beef?
The envoys were always extremely cocky and would taunt the rulers pretty much baiting them to war.
@@haitamc5611 envoys just said surrender and join us or die you have no choice
Mongol ambassadors were assholes. They bragged to the Islamic leaders that they were undefeatable. I’m sure something when down that night between the two parties that guided the series of events. He didn’t kill those emesseries without provocation.
After failing to catch Jalaladdin Genghis Khan said admitting Jalaladdin’s bravery :”That’s how the son should be “!
As always, fantastic work!
Thank you very much!
Hey! This channel is awesome, great job thank you guys
Thank you for watching :)
There is just... Something entertaining about these videos. Can't place exactly what it is. The voice, the knowledge, history, ideas.. Not sure, but love it.

Thank you for this good work
Thank you!
Brilliant video!
Imagine how diffirent history could have been if the Shah had not decided to kill those merchant and the ambassador.
it was a matter of time before they found a reason to invade
yes... i agree that i think mongols would find any reason to attack khawarez anyway.
I think they might've invaded China instead, *before* invading Khwarezm. Genghis Khan would be the founder of the Yuan dynasty a little earlier. Then either of these things might happen:
a) they get bogged down in China trying to contain possible rebels during the next years
b) the riches they get from China allow them to conquer even more land to the west than they did on our timeline
I doubt about this part of story.
I think they really were spies, so Mongols anyway would invade.
I'm loving this so far. I've never seen or read anything about the early days of the Mongol Empire, and it's very interesting to learn how it all began. Thank you guys.
Thanks for watching!
Exelent explained with graphics about Genghis Khan thank you sir

Guys & gals, a thousand thanks for your vids, which are superb. Yet speaking candidly on the relation of music to spoken material: the music tracks, though consistently suitable, well conceived, and well performed, are a bit “up front” in the audio mix. A lowered dynamic in the former would, I believe, maximize the listener’s absorption of spoken text. Many thanks, again.
Your channel is awesome!! Great work. I hope to see Vlad Tepes and his guerrilla fight against the Ottoman campaign, or maybe the Battle of Vaslui lead by Stefan the Great. Probably the most significant battle of both Moldavia and Walachia.
Thank you! We are planning to cover Vaslui, at least. Maybe one or two more battles of Stefan the Great.
ty again for ur amazing document
pls creat another documents about mongols
+Mohammad Ghezelli thanks, more on the way!
The first thing i do when i go on TH-cam to see if you guys upload new video . also GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS
Thank you very much! :-)
Very nicely done as usual!!!
Thank you! :-)
My pleasure. Although something bothers me here. I have always read that the Khwarizmian army outnumbered the Mongol army. What source(s) say otherwise? I really would like to find out.
Amazing.
Thanks!
been at the ruins and saw the remainings of Otrar city in Kazakhstan. The bones, ancient ceramic utensils, burnt woods and other kinds of remainings still rest there and all that looks breathtaking... though sooner or later after the reconstruction of the city will be done they are gonne be lost correspondingly i think... Btw, awesome documentary video!
Great topics, great content, great channel. Really interesting. Keep it up! ;)
Thank you!
Well done as usual.👍🏻
+Cyrus The Great thank you! :-)
Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu ended up in India and after spending 3 years there came back to Iran to continue to lead resistance against the Mongols for several more years.
Yep, we will talk more about him.
You guys call your biggest empire "Osmanlı" instead of "Ertoğruli" or something like that, and I am the bad guy? :p
Kings and Generals well osman was his real name, jalal ad din was not...
There is a small shrine in Sirch_ Kerman_ Iran believed to be his.
What a badass
Julius Caesar: I'm going to conquer people and slaughter them.
Temujin G. Khan: Hold my beer.
Brilliant, as usual!!!
Thank you!
Very nice video amazing information.
One of the reason why Kuchlug was defeated was that he insisted in imposing Nestorianism on the Muslim population in Western Liao which led them to back the Mongol invasion of Western Liao. For that reason he was one of the historical "candidates" for the origin for the legend of Prester John. The founder of Western Liao, Yelü Dashi, who defeated the Seljuk was another one such "candidate."
Yes, good note, indeed the local Muslim population joined the Mongols, and probably were in there armies.
True. But it seems Kuchlug mostly went after the Muslims. Part of the reason why must be because his wife, the princess of Western Liao, was Buddhist.
Kings and Generals no Muslims fought mongles
Fun fact, Western Liao was the successor state of the Liao Dynasty in China who fought against the Song and were driven out by the JIn.
You means qara khitai khanate (western Liao)..... Crushed joint army of seljuks and karakhanids at qatwan
I believe Jalaluddin was a worthy opponent of Genghis Khan.
Well, he was the one who fought them longest. :-)
@ADIL CHEAUSENG Actually there were less than 5000 mongol soldiers in the battle of Ain jalut. Most soldiers of the 2 tumens are turks, armenians, arabians and crusaders.
@ADIL CHEAUSENG even if they could dead at mamliluis they couldn't have stranded the golden harde under berke vengeance for Muslim world.
@@winstonmaraj8029 but that is wishful thinking. The Mongols destroyed your people in your own homeland.
@ADIL CHEAUSENG mongols still outnumbered by their adversaries but still lose.
Nice job! Can't wait for the next one!
If it's possible I'll like to suggest making a video on Attila the Hun.
Thank you! Yes, it is something that we do consider.
Nice video i always learn something new.
Thank you very much!
Exciting~~~
:-)
Songs used? the description field is empty.
Great documentary, thank you!
Will ask the editor to add them.
very informative and authentic videos ........splendid work
Thanks for watching!
Great work, keep up!
Suggestion, do first and second Siege of Vienna.
Thanks! We will.
Been waiting for this one. Quite possibly the most brutal case of Mongol retribution in the face of an arrogant enemy that didn't know who they were fucking with.
There will be more. :-)
CONTINUE THE MONGOL SERIES
We will.. Full schedule is posted on Patreon.
very interesting and great job 👍🎬
You guys are one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Thank you very much!
your channel keeps out doing itself
Doing our best. :-)
Do Subutai's invasion of Kievan Rus next!
It will be covered.
Great presentation!
Thank you very much!
Your sound is just gold👌
Thank you a lot for interesting video. This the most tragic page in our history. Iranians were very traumatized during it. The libraries and universities were burned, canals were destroyed. The Empire could not rise on its feet for the next 300 years, during which we also experienced Timur the lame.
Thanks for watching!
First the Arabs enslaved Iran, then Turks and then Mongols. Yeah it's very unfortunate.
@jhon carry They did enslave Iran. They forced their religion and committed atrocities.
@@grimgoreironhide9985
I don't know what is wrong with you but I feel you got issues! Islam came through the hearts of the Iranians so as other Muslim countries all around the world, otherwise it couldn't stay until now!
@@chek887 What do you mean. I only stated facts.
İt’s great that you guys decided to make videos about the mongols
We are also happy about it. :-)
love this channel..
Thank you! :-)
Keep up the good work!
Will do. :-)
