  • Now that we have started to work on the second season of our animated historical documentary series on the Mongol Empire, we decided to make this video to refresh the memory of what happened during the rise of the Mongols. In this video we are covering the conquests of China, Central Asia, Iran, Caucasus, Eastern Europe via the battles of Yehuling, Parwan, Indus River, Kalka, Mohi, Legnica, Ain Jalut, Yamen and others, featuring Genghis Khan, Ogedei, Batu, Kublia, Chagatai, Subutai, Jebe, Tolui, Jalal-ad-din, Baibars, Qutuz and others.

      Imo the Mongols coldest move was how they knew they were outnumbered by the Kilcheks and their Russian allies. Knowing that the Kilcheks made up most of the allied armies Subutai bribed them into abandoning the cause amd going home.. but after destroying the remnants ofnthe allied armies he decided to track down the kilcheks and annihilated them anyway. THEN, not only that, the Mongols got the Venetians in Kiev to sell out their fellow Europeans by giving up vital data about them. 😅

      That fact that the early Mongolians were so successful is because they appointed leaders based on talent, rather than birthright. Everyone they faced in battle did NOT do this.......and as a result most armies were full of stuffy lords mostly looking out for their own interests or slaves and peasants who didn't want to be there in the first place. It's always easy to defeat forces that hate each other as much as they hate you, especially when you're united. Add to that political corruption from within the empires you're at war with, and well they do half the work for you. Later on, once the Mongolians start to assimilate with the ways of their enemies, they too fall apart. Fighting each other for control of the empire, stabbing each other in the back. They became what they were fighting, and so they eventually faded away as well. This is why most empires and nations don't last very long. Power always corrupts and the intensity only increases over time. Until your own people don't care enough and welcome invaders in the door.

      Yeah, they were called Hunnu because their ethnicity was that, not Mongol. I don't even get what you mean by saying "I am talking about the mainland". If you are talking about East Asia, the Huns did not originate from there, there is no evidence of it. Their language was Hunnic. Or are you just simply believing that any barbaric horde from Asia has to be Mongol? In Mongolia we talk about the Hunnu as an entirely different kind of people, our ancient predecessors, not as Mongols.

This really opens up your mind from the western POV's of the mongols seeing them as only blood thirsty barbarians. The Romans with its historical greatness and some overglorified commanders never achieved what the Mongols achieved. The Roman empire who existed for 400 years never achieved what the Mongols did in 25 years.

      That is a bit of an over exaggeration, the Roman empire became the example for all that followed it in the region and for 1000 years people claimed the title as the most preeminent. It took 2 khans for the empire to split and the most popular khan other than Ghengis would rather have been Chinese…without Ghengis the mongol empire would have been another footnote for a Chinese or Persian empire as a barbarian annoyance.

    Subutai was the greatest general who ever lived. He created military fronts by coordinating multiple armies at once as they invaded foreign lands. This was at a time when armies fought individually and established frontiers with spaced out fortifications (or natural barriers). They couldn't fathom a wave of highly mobile attackers that came from everywhere, and so Subutai succeeded in overwhelming his enemies. This feat would not again be duplicated until the 20th century with German tank warfare. Subutai was hundreds of years ahead of his time
