Kings and Generals is creating videos on historical from four different time periods. I want you to know that the hard work that you put into these (which is evident ) is much appreciated. Thanks a lot, K&G!!

As a persian who interested in history I must admit that after conquering iran by mongols not only they didn't change our people's culture but even they discarded their Mongolian tradition and got Persianized.
I'm surprised you didn't show the Sabzevar rebellion(though it's name was on the ending map), the Sabzevar rebellion also known as Sarbedaran revolt(Sarbedaran means "hanged men" in Persian) is perhaps one of the most famous events in Iranian history.

@@bmx6994 well, yes and no. I mean they succeeded but they didn't conquered whole Iran of that time(the maps at the near end of the video shows Iran being devised between many countries, one of them is Sabzevar , that's the one I'm talking about).another result of their rebellion that is visible to the day is their efforts to revive the 12-Imami Shiisim which was only and only seen at that part and now is the dominant religion of Iran/Azerbaijan/Iraq and dominant Shiie branch (although let's say not nowadays, because nowadays it's hard to say if a person is a part of a religion or not(specially in Iran, where I'm seeing people distancing themselves from religions and will get super defensive/offended if you assume they're muslim), take last 20 years ago)

Now we need how the mongols lost Central Asia, and it will be interesting: The timurids count as mongols, despite speaking turkish and having a persian culture? What about the East Chagatai Khanate? And the Oirats? And the Norther yuan?
Persians after the fall of the Ilkhanate: "Finally! Those damn mongols were out from our beloved land! They will never return!" Timurids, doing a Doctor Octopus impersonation: "Hello, Persians!"
Timurid is Turkic Empire Page -194- ^ Timour was the son of Teragay Nevian. He gives the following account of his lineage, in his memoirs :-" My father told me that we were descendants from Abu-al-Atrak (father of the Turks) the son of Japhet. His fifth son, Aljeh Khan, had twin sons, Tatar and Mogul, who placed their feet on the paths of infidelity. Turaene Khan had a son Kabul, whose son, Munga Bahadur, was the father of Temugin, small estate, with not more than three or four mounted attendants. He lived iu a village, near this city of Kesh, for the men of this land prefer living in the villages, and in the plains, to living in cities. His son, also, had not more than four or five horses. I will now tell you, what was told to the ambassadors, as certain truth in this city, and in other parts. It is said that Timour, having four or five servants, went out one day to steal a sheep, and on another day a cow, by force, from the people of the country. When he had got them, be ate them with his followers ; and some because of the plunder, others because he was a brave and good hearted man, joined him, until he had a force of three hundred mounted followers. From that time be traversed the country, to rob and steal all he could lay hands on, for himself and bis companions, and he also frequented the roads, and plundered the merchants.' Narrative of the embassy of Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo to the court of Timour at Samarcand, A.D. 1403-6 by González de Clavijo, Ruy, d. 1412; Markham, Clements R.

Oljeitu moved the capital from Tabriz to a city he built names Soltaniyeh There he began building a massive domed tomb for himself, and the city is a World Herirtage Site, with the grand tomb still standing. Soltaniyeh is a tiny city now, mostly due to the collapse of the Ilkhanate and the sheer amount of destruction Timur brought upon Iran, but I find its story fascinating.

Nowruz is a Persian name means as "New day" , Nowruz is the first day of Spring. In Iranian calendar Spring is the first season of the year ( as it should be)
The last millenium of Iranian history has been what might best be called the “Turanian period,” a time of Turkish and Mongol rule and nomad domination. It is a period viewed by Iranians and most students of Iranian history with mixed, largely negative, feelings that reflect the experience and writings of the conquered peoples. -JM Smith
The Iranians do not like the Turks, a Turk named Alp er Tunga kept Iran under his hand for a long time, the Iranian writer named Firdevs insulted the Turks, so Timur took the place and opened his grave and told all his soldiers to dirty it there. And look at the Turkish you despise by hitting his hand on his grave, is there anyone in this world who can stand against him....
Turanians are Aryan tribes in all Iranian sources, Turanians are like Iranians from the Aryan tribes that are involved in the war, and ultimately unite with the Kay Khosrow kingdom and have nothing to do with the Turks and Mongols. Turks Turanians began by the governments of Turk and Mongol to legitimize themselves in Iran. Even now Turkish countries make history for themselves.
I was surprised that there were no mentio of the black plague, which ravaged Iran in the background of these Game of Thrones shenanigans. The instability and chaos it causes certainly played a part, no?
Yes it is, The Noyans(Mongol military elites) basically function like feudal land lords, their dissatisfaction with the Ilkhan also caused by the fact that large portion of their population were died and unable to pay the land tax. The Ilkhan tired to expand outside of Greater Persia thus even enraged the Noyans as they're unable to get new land and new population to pay the tax.
Innocence always win, too much brutality on the noble people of Iran, at last they either got absorbed into Persian culture or diminished in history; yet Iran stands there after 2500 years
Iran is interesting in its history. Its very hard to conquer, but even when done so, it's hard to maintain. All of the conquerers that ruled over it, over time either were thrown out or "dissolved" in a way into Iranian culture and became Iranian or Iranic themselves.
Thanks for enlightening us on this matter. It happen that we are of this region yet we never knew about anything shown in this and other videos. Keep them coming.

As a mongoloid from India I’m really interested in the history of Mongols and I find that no other channel covers the history of Mongols like K&G does. Very well made content.
@@joeduckburyofjoeducania4587 yeah, kinda like how the term Mongoliod shouldn’t be used anyone. Even the Mongolian government request that the Who stop using that word in 1965. There is actually good article by the Independent called “Why are the words ‘Mongol, “mongoloid’ and ‘mongy” still bandied about as insults?” PS my user name is Mongolian for foreigner.

He scammed another khan candidate with the tale of marring Stai Beg, TWICE.And he created a stable kingdom for himself, but was killed by a jealous wife, and his kingdom passed to his psychotic brother...
Love you kings & Generals you put your entire heart into your work to let us know about so much information school systems don’t teach. I appreciate your work.
"Mongols" aren't real.. they mean Tartars. People thinking of Mongolians of today who have absolutely nothing to do with ancient "mongolian" history other than being stuck with a nomad lifestyle of the steppes, watch less of this garbage and read more books prior to 1900.
How to keep your empire together: Don't marry your cousins Have a good strong heir Get your economy together Don't frivolously declare wars and lose Don't cheat on your cousin with your other cousin
K&G are really getting their money's worth from that old main menu theme from Total War: Attila. You can be certain it shows up at least once in any video that deals with Mongols, Huns or other Steppe Nomads.

Choban means Shepherd in Turkic languages. Kadin is a title (lady) today it means woman in most Turkic languages. Bagdat Kadin was a Chad. Killing the dude who not only killed her family just so he could have her, but also then wanted her little niece. What kind of sbhuman would kill the man who practically raised him and fought side by side with him, and his entire family just because he lists for his daughter.
@@mrxmry7763 Khan and Khatun are both Turkic in origin not Mongolian. The video was full of other Turkic words and titles I just gave up after a while editing the comment. The reason for this isn't Mongols influencing Turks as much as Mongols being influenced by Turks. The Mongol army consisted largely of Turkic people. Which is why when the ilkhanid shattered it shattered into Turkic not Mongol states and empires. Which is why Mongol rulers had so many wife's with Khatun as a title despite not using the title Khatun themselves. The Mongols were extremely easy to adopt foreign culture as their own or to be influenced by it. From Turkic religion and culture in the steppes, to Persian, Arab in the west and Chinese in the East. Even Ghenghis Khans real name "Timurjin" is a Turkic name meaning Ironsmith. Before the mongol empire Turks claimed legitimacy by claiming Ashina blood. After Ghenghis Khan, for a long time Turkic khans sought legitimacy by claiming to have some Cenghizid ancestry.
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement what the f are you even on about. Literally all Turkic rulers used Khan. Everyone can easily look up the etymology. Vsllong yourself Dr and failing to even the simplest task is rather shameful
Chopan is a persian word, like super persian word. Modern so called Turkics who mostly have nothing left of original turks seem to be very confused with an identity crisis. And khatun is originaly from eastern iranian languages, it entered turkic and mongolic later. Khan is mongolic.
@@mrxmry7763 chopan is a persian word. Turkic languages are heavely influenced by persian and arabic. Persian has some turkish loan words mostly from millitary concept and a very few mongolian ones.
You did not say a word about Sabzevar revolt and the uprising against Mongols. In persian it is called sarbedar rebellion. The armed resistance of persians that lead to the collapse of ilkhanate. It's a very exciting story full of details, hollywood level stuff.
cuz they assimilated with the locals, Mongols (Mughals/Golden Horde/Ilkhante ) bred back in to the local population they conquered. They became Russians, and Indians, and Middle Easterners.
Mongols were persianized. They never won Iran or toke Iran to lose it. If they were ruling on this lands it doesn't mean they won... Iran was struggling within and there was no united military at all back then. Every gang and mercenary had his own territory..dictating their own beliefs... that time was clashes and civil wars.. Mongol army just fought against separated fell apart little clans.
Iranians have a rich history, and Persian language was one of the most influencing language of Asia. I love Iranians. And no, Iranians are not arabs. They are Persian by heart and soul. They have their own civilization long before arabs were united. And Iran , land of aryan brothers shall live till the end of time. Love from india 🇮🇳 🤝 🇮🇷
Iranians are Iranians, Persians are Iranians. Persian is just one tribe of Iranian peoples. There are even Iranians in the Caucasus mountain region, they’re called Ossetians.
@@RoninAvenger nah , Iran and pars are both used by ancient Persians as a self-designation in ancient documents, no others have used these terms.... however Iranian also became a nationality so Iranian nationals are called Iranians nationalistic wise , otherwise still 60 % of Iran are ethnic Persians and 20% are Persian descendants who speak one or another language from Pahlavi ( middle Persian)......the rest are un-iranian speakers

The Mongols didn't loose Iran.. they becoming persian instead..
Ive been binge watching all of your videos since three days ago ive never seen a channel like this before your videos are amazing
The last millenium of Iranian history has been what might best be called the “Turanian period,” a time of Turkish and Mongol rule and nomad domination. It is a period viewed by Iranians and most students of Iranian history with mixed, largely negative, feelings that reflect the experience and writings of the conquered peoples. -JM Smith
Turanic Iran, get out of here 🤣🤣😂😂
Agreed
similar to india
The Iranians do not like the Turks, a Turk named Alp er Tunga kept Iran under his hand for a long time, the Iranian writer named Firdevs insulted the Turks, so Timur took the place and opened his grave and told all his soldiers to dirty it there. And look at the Turkish you despise by hitting his hand on his grave, is there anyone in this world who can stand against him....
Turanians are Aryan tribes in all Iranian sources, Turanians are like Iranians from the Aryan tribes that are involved in the war, and ultimately unite with the
Kay Khosrow kingdom and have nothing to do with the Turks and Mongols.
Turks Turanians began by the governments of Turk and Mongol to legitimize themselves in Iran.
Even now Turkish countries make history for themselves.
Great documentary. Thank you Kings and Generals Team.

@@Ali-fb6zh ??? peace between all, problem with that??
I was surprised that there were no mentio of the black plague, which ravaged Iran in the background of these Game of Thrones shenanigans. The instability and chaos it causes certainly played a part, no?
Yes it is, The Noyans(Mongol military elites) basically function like feudal land lords, their dissatisfaction with the Ilkhan also caused by the fact that large portion of their population were died and unable to pay the land tax. The Ilkhan tired to expand outside of Greater Persia thus even enraged the Noyans as they're unable to get new land and new population to pay the tax.
Game of Thrones copied histories maneuvers for centuries yet you describe those events by that series. Very anachronistic.
Any chance of a follow up about how the Timurids lost Iran later on as well?
Somebody get this channel more subscribers! It’s come so far but it deserves more!
Oh, a new episode, I know for sure I will love it. Thank you.
Damn what a smooth transition to the sponsorhip ad!🤣🤣
My condolences to the lead historian✊😔
I've started recommending Kings and Generals videos to school teachers so they can show them to their students and make History Fun Again ...

As a persian it was very informing good job👌🏻👏🏻
Ive never wondered this but here I am learning about it
Iran is interesting in its history. Its very hard to conquer, but even when done so, it's hard to maintain. All of the conquerers that ruled over it, over time either were thrown out or "dissolved" in a way into Iranian culture and became Iranian or Iranic themselves.
The first and oldest living nation in the world👏👍🤝🌷

As a mongoloid from India I’m really interested in the history of Mongols and I find that no other channel covers the history of Mongols like K&G does. Very well made content.
Mongoloid I swear that's a old name for East Asians and East Asian like people
@@joeduckburyofjoeducania4587 Because it is. I have never seen someone use it unironically today

@@gadaadyn8190 India is a diverse country there probably are a mix and this term has been disproven
@@joeduckburyofjoeducania4587 yeah, kinda like how the term Mongoliod shouldn’t be used anyone. Even the Mongolian government request that the Who stop using that word in 1965. There is actually good article by the Independent called “Why are the words ‘Mongol, “mongoloid’ and ‘mongy” still bandied about as insults?” PS my user name is Mongolian for foreigner.

King Abaqa khan the Son of Halaku khan married with Daughter of Byzantine Empror Michael Vlll Paliaologos. Her name was Maria Paliaolgos and she became a princess of ILKHANTE Mongolia.
It should be more background on Hasan Kucheck or Hasan the small, the real Tyrion Lannister: The guy was a dwarf, convinced their brothers that his father was alive( he used a bastard son for the scam). He scammed another khan candidate with the tale of marring Stai Beg, TWICE.And he created a stable kingdom for himself, but was killed by a jealous wife, and his kingdom passed to his psychotic brother...
So 6/6/6 leaders' early death in EU4 is based on historical accuracy?
At least among Mongols yes.

I love how they were staunch Muslims, but drank like sailors on leave.
"Mongols" aren't real.. they mean Tartars. People thinking of Mongolians of today who have absolutely nothing to do with ancient "mongolian" history other than being stuck with a nomad lifestyle of the steppes, watch less of this garbage and read more books prior to 1900.
Thanks
How to keep your empire together:
Don't marry your cousins
Have a good strong heir
Get your economy together
Don't frivolously declare wars and lose
Don't cheat on your cousin with your other cousin
Sounds like the USA.

Great video.
you did not mention sarbedaran and sabzevar revolt .
K&G are really getting their money's worth from that old main menu theme from Total War: Attila. You can be certain it shows up at least once in any video that deals with Mongols, Huns or other Steppe Nomads.
How can the people of Mongolia be proud of this barbarian? It's like you want to be proud of Hitler or Saddam Hussein and build a tomb for them.

Nicely informative video.
Choban means Shepherd in Turkic languages. Kadin is a title (lady) today it means woman in most Turkic languages.
Bagdat Kadin was a Chad. Killing the dude who not only killed her family just so he could have her, but also then wanted her little niece.
What kind of sbhuman would kill the man who practically raised him and fought side by side with him, and his entire family just because he lists for his daughter.
@@mrxmry7763 Khan and Khatun are both Turkic in origin not Mongolian. The video was full of other Turkic words and titles I just gave up after a while editing the comment. The reason for this isn't Mongols influencing Turks as much as Mongols being influenced by Turks. The Mongol army consisted largely of Turkic people. Which is why when the ilkhanid shattered it shattered into Turkic not Mongol states and empires. Which is why Mongol rulers had so many wife's with Khatun as a title despite not using the title Khatun themselves.
The Mongols were extremely easy to adopt foreign culture as their own or to be influenced by it. From Turkic religion and culture in the steppes, to Persian, Arab in the west and Chinese in the East.
Even Ghenghis Khans real name "Timurjin" is a Turkic name meaning Ironsmith.
Before the mongol empire Turks claimed legitimacy by claiming Ashina blood. After Ghenghis Khan, for a long time Turkic khans sought legitimacy by claiming to have some Cenghizid ancestry.
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement maybe go look up the etymology it's Turkic
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement what the f are you even on about. Literally all Turkic rulers used Khan. Everyone can easily look up the etymology. Vsllong yourself Dr and failing to even the simplest task is rather shameful
Chopan is a persian word, like super persian word. Modern so called Turkics who mostly have nothing left of original turks seem to be very confused with an identity crisis. And khatun is originaly from eastern iranian languages, it entered turkic and mongolic later. Khan is mongolic.
@@mrxmry7763 chopan is a persian word. Turkic languages are heavely influenced by persian and arabic. Persian has some turkish loan words mostly from millitary concept and a very few mongolian ones.
These videos are awesome. Informative and fun to watch
Two Empires make me sit & watch with month open 😮 is Mongolian & Persian.
Golden Horde Khanate, Yuan, and Ilkhanate down. Now all that’s left is Chagatai?
You did not say a word about Sabzevar revolt and the uprising against Mongols. In persian it is called sarbedar rebellion. The armed resistance of persians that lead to the collapse of ilkhanate. It's a very exciting story full of details, hollywood level stuff.

Mongols were persianized. They never won Iran or toke Iran to lose it. If they were ruling on this lands it doesn't mean they won... Iran was struggling within and there was no united military at all back then. Every gang and mercenary had his own territory..dictating their own beliefs... that time was clashes and civil wars.. Mongol army just fought against separated fell apart little clans.
They no need to win. They just kill them all.
