Fresh off the conquest of the Kwharazmian Empire, the Mongol horde treks west to wage war on Europe in the name of Genghis Khan. The principalities of the Kyivan (Kievan) Rus’ must suffer the ensuing Mongol invasion. The regional peoples rally behind leaders such as Danilo of Halych-Volhynia (Daniel of Galicia) to assert independence.

This video is part of Project Ukraine, a collaborative video playlist dedicated to telling the past of the Ukrainian people to aid them in the present. Your likes, shares and donations will have a direct impact in aiding the most vulnerable citizens of Ukraine. We have partnered up with the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Centre in Kyiv, which was bombed by Russian troops at the start of the invasion. Today, the foundation has transformed its projects, refocusing its resources and efforts on purchasing and delivering humanitarian aid to civilians, and evacuating people from combat zones. We hope that viewers would consider donating to this noble cause and help with the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. donation.babynyar.org/en/
Oh gosh that’s good too but you have no one who is a man who knows you and you are still doing that too much but it’s just not me too it’s just a joke and and then I’m like that I’m a little broken and then suddenly my eyes were were just like that dude and then he got mad at me I don’t like like it and he didn’t want it but I’m just just tired I love that I just can’t remember how much you like that I’m a really nice mommy and I’m not really really upset that I’m so sorry you are a liar you can’t tell

He makes great wine adverts with a heavy dose of history, has to be said.
I love it, it looks a lot like Age of Empires
@R P kings and generals suck, their animations are so basic, the story-telling is dry and boring.
at that historical moment Ukraine DID NOT EXIST. Stop the nonsense. In fact, the Mongol invasion divided the Russian principalities and because of the territorial vastness, the Surjik dialect appeared, which you incompetents call the Ukrainian language. big dislike
@@Synthet1cc Dan Davis History is pretty neat.
Mongol History is just so interesting to learn about.
Nothing like the Islamic enslavement of half the known world.
The Mongolians taught Europe how to do slavery and burned China into the ground so bad it put them like 200 years back.
Probably the worst/most destructive empire in human history.

Thanks Jacob!
Can't agree more!
propaganda
Propaganda, propagating what?
By my Latin memory, propaganda would be a gerundive, something that is to be propagated literally
Absolutely loving this channel and video format. Keep up the good work!
The art, the narrative, your voice; it's all so good. This is my favorite history channel.
I'm subscribed to just about every major history channel, but rarely do I go back and watch their backlog. Think I'm gonna do that here. Thanks for fantastic content.
Awesome. Let me know which one you like the best!
This channel is SO good. More Mongol History pls.

@@scintillam_dei 😂 no.
The animation, and narration for your videos are so good, that I wish you uploaded more often, but at the same time, you can't rush perfection. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!! New video out on Saturday
It was amazing how the Mongols could have moved such large armies such great distances.
Their nomadic lifestype plus horses make up for great mobility
how did they feed both human and animal alike on such journeys especially with such numbers? makes ya wonder. that ain't easy. history the mystery...
@@naturalfreehuman strong genes dude. Strong genes. Makes sense given the lack of woods in Mongolia.
@@righthandstep5 ya, it's still beyond. that's massive amounts of people. you need something to eat... cheers!
@@naturalfreehuman well… There is a reason you do not want to lose a war.
When you lose, everything that was yours is no longer yours. Your house, food, material, life, ideas, wife, sons, and daughters. Everything is taken and made someone else’s.
That is how you feed and entertain your army.
Very interesting - I'd already wondered how that first meeting between the Rus and the westward-bound Mongols went down. Great video! May I ask, do you do the artwork for your videos yourself? The images are gorgeous!
Yes! Two-brother team here. One does the art/editing and the other the research/narration
@@HistoryDose Awesome! Glad Project Ukraine helped me find your channel - looking forward to seeing more videos as they come out :)
@@HistoryDose Utmost respect to you two.
This channel has the most gorgeous artworks i have ever seen in history videos
@@HistoryDose you guys are awesome, genuinely. Keep dishing these out, and I'll keep liking them! Subed!
I've watched a lot of historical videos from different channels I always watch them and heard them like studying history, but your videos feels like I'm watching a movie or reading a book the music, visuals, your way with words I feel like I'm living through it I start imagining myself on the boots of those you talk about truly impressive keep it up.
Thanks! We go to painstaking lengths to try to achieve exactly that, so it’s nice to hear it worked for you.
@@HistoryDose truly remarkable work the Stilicho video and Dumas I got teary eyed in those and I'm a 27 years old man.
@@napolien1310 the Dumas video is a masterpiece. The best vídeo in this channel in my opnion
this video is full of historical inaccuracies and fabricated stories.
As a history nerd my entire life I love your channel bro !! I don’t subscribe to many channels but I had to for this one.
Love History, no matter what time or place in the world. This was a Great and informative video. Thank You🙏🏻
I love these videos so much. It feels like I'm part of the story the way you guys tell them. The narrators cadence and way of stringing sentences together is very engaging. I hope if I ever have to give a speech or a reading for something it sounds like that. Please keep up the good work
If you are interested in the Mongol invasion of Russia, an excellent book to read is James Chambers' book: "The Devil's Horsemen". It is a fantastic read for anyone interested in the early Mongol campaigns. Very accessible prose and highly-engaging, not dry and academic.
Gracias homie
David, there was no Russia in XIII century. There was a medieval state called Rus with it’s capital city in Kyiv. The word Russia appeared in XVIII century as a Greek spelling of Rus, when Moscovite tsar Peter the Great decided to rebrand the Moscovy into a more noble something. He picked the Rus and named his state as Russia
Wrong, Petter the great turned Russian Czardom into an empire, and before the Czardom (which was established in 1547), Russian Principalities were a thing, moreover it’s arguable whether the title of the capital at the time meant anything beyond a title of the oldest city. Russian Principalities and the word Russia/Russian appeared long before XVIII
@@dmitryvladimirskiy6940 There was no "Russia" "long before XVIII". This word wasn't used in any of the old maps before.
@@kirya7177 you will be surprised if you read new russian history
Absolutely amazing video. VA, images used, and overall presentation.
Definitely would like to see more.
This is History channel the way I remember it.
this is litreally my favourite history channel, the way he explains it and the editing and the audio. PERFECTION!
So glad to be working with you in this project
I still really want to see the story of Spartacus and the 3rd Servile War depicted in your channels beautiful artwork and evocative storytelling. In my opinion, it would be the perfect story for your channel to tell.
Capua and the gladiatorial arena, Mount Vesuvius, the rebel slave army as it grows in size and the numbers of Rome's legions that they defeated, and the amount that were necessary to finally quell the uprising, and the military tactics used by each side... I can't tell you how much I'd like to see this happen.
I will add that to the list of potential topics! I'd want a good chunk of production time to do it properly. Thanks, Frosty

The art, sound effects and storytelling of the sally out at Volodymir made me get hyped up. Damn this channel is great.
By far the best historical story teller on this platform
Except for the fact that the title is historically false.
@@rudylutz2085 🗿
@@rudylutz2085 it's not incorrect. The word Ukraine already existed and was used to describe a certain regions Ruś in the Duchy of Pereyaslav. Now the word Ruś was only applied to the regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv and Pereyaslav. Neither Novgorod nor Suzdal, Vladimir, nor even Galicia (till the creation of the Kingdom of Ruthenia) were called Ruś. You can read old novgorod, ipatiivski, lavrentiivski chronicles still available nowadays, and you'll see all those regions were put in contrast to Rus, which was in nowadays Ukraine.
Other regions were called Ruś only when there was a need to emphasize on their subjection to Rus (meaning subjection to Kyiv and Ruthenians living there). Even slavic tribes of other regions used to call themselves differently: while people from Kyiv, Pereyaslav and Chernihiv used to call themselves Rusyny (meaning Ruthenians), Novgorodians and Pskovians were called Sloveny. And the lands of modern Moscow were mainly populated by finnougric tribes. This means that by that time there already existed different slavic and non-slavic ethnicities within the federation.
The core of Ruś was in Kyiv, and Ruthenians as an ethnicity formed around Kyiv, they still live there, only the name has changed, because the region of Ruś called Ukraine spreaded its influence upon other regions. And there's nothing weird in it, there are many examples of such changes among other peoples: Lechia to Poland, Dacia to Romania, Muscovy to Russia. Nobody has a doubt that Lechia is basically Poland, yet people still think that Ukrainians "appeared out of nowhere". What's the reason of such ambiguity? Ukrainians used their original name (Rusyn) up until WW2 in Galicia, up until the beginning of XXth century in its north-eastern regions (Chernihiv) and still kept it nowadays in the most isolated mountain regions of Transcarpathia.
Thus calling Ruś "Ukraine" is not a mistake. It's just another name of the same entity. And it's just the same as calling Lechia "Poland", but nobody gets mad due to the latter.
@@rudylutz2085 🗿
absolutely incorrect, 100% revisionism. No "ukraine" existed in 13 th century, not even theoretically, it's laughable to claim so. The word itself means frontier, kray/kraina in every slavic language, not a country. "Kievan Rus" (or Kyivan or whatever) wasn't called Kievan either, only Rus. Ruthenia also means Rus-land, land of Rus, bastarnized latin name. People of Paris call themselves Parisians, so I guess they are a nation according to this ridiculous twisted 'logic'.
My new favorite TH-cam channel. Keep up the great work guys

What a absolute insane time to have been existing during such invasions I can honestly not even fathom facing such problems coming from 2022 in the United States.

absolutely breathtaking video! The video essays yo uupload from time to time are always long awaited by me and every one of them shows that you are a master of your work and love what you do! The mongol videos are my absolute favourite as I am a big fan of mongol culture and history, so much so that in my scientific paper, which I had to write before my final test i tried to sum up the mongol invasion of europe. So your video is highly appreciated and I hope you will make more about this topic!

Danilo’s initial cowardess in leaving his lands seems to be a blessing, he was later able to gather people to fight against the invaders. Creating an even better empire than before.
An empire overlooked and payed homage to their overlords the Mongols

Can you do Basil the Bulgar slayer next? When he blinded 99 out of every 100 Bulgarian POWs. I really like your art and storytelling so it would be awesome to see that event unfold in video form. 🙏

Oh man your videos and animations and art are just so quality man I love it thanks for taking all the time to do this I’m always looking forward to it big time perfect story for now
, GREAT VIDEO, loved the art and style of it a ALL . It would be great if you guys could do a video on the European Conquest of the Caribbean
The editing on this is so great! It gives me a moment of fear when the music swells for the Mongols attacking the city of Kiev.
The artwork on these videos lately has been amazing. I'm serious, I love it, it's really good :)
Your videos are of unbelievably high quality! I will definitely follow this channel.
I love the small details you guys put in like the Mongol war chants. Amazing video as always!
It would be neat to see a short on the battle of Legnica. As depressing as that battle was to read about, I think you and your brother could bring it to life in a way that hasn’t been done yet!
Battle of Legnica is the beast !!
I want to see Kalka river and princes get crushed under platform 😢
@@pinchevulpes also brutal and underrated!
Nah, do the battle of MOHI. That one is a brilliant tactician from General Subutai!
Traditionally, historians considered this battle of Legnica victory for the Europeans, who, although they won, suffered huge losses, including the death of the Polish duke Henry II the Pious of Silesia, who led the battles. At this point, the Allies are believed to have suffered a crushing defeat.After the Battle of Legnica, part of the Mongol army remained to plunder Poland, part joined the main forces in Hungary
DUDE IM GONNA BINGE YOUR WHOLE CHANNEL.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!?
AMAGAAAAAH!!!!!
Your narration and illustrations are very compelling. I love ❤️ this style.
Absolutely incredible! I will never get enough of the art work and especially love the art at 9:33 gives me pellenor fields from lord of the rings vibes! Keep up the great work!
The cool part is this is history and actually happened!
....in an alliance of elves and men...
Hey Guys, great vid. I really think your best or at least most interesting topics are the ones like this where clashes between different nationalities occur. The one about the Japanese Vs the Mongols and the Native Americans Vs the Vikings are really unique. These made me want to click because I’ve never heard of stories between cultures clashing before which are so far apart geographically. Looking at the number of views on those vids I think others share this attraction to the topics too. Keep it up more of that. Please. Maybe one between the Myans and the Spanish at first contact.
Thanks! I’m always amazed by culture clashes as well. I have another one like that coming out in May, and I’d love to do a Spanish-Aztec video as well.
Thank you for the great video about the history of my country
Amazing narration and the art is fantastic. Another well done video.
Love the mongol content, keep that going
Very interesting period of history which I feel is often overlooked. Great video and great artwork!
What software do y'all use for your audio? I've been looking for a reliable program to make some ambience sounds for my DnD campaign, but I haven't had much luck.
Reaper is great for vocals. Other than that we just fool around with audio speed, reverb and use a nice big library of various cinematic ambient effects, bass thuds, whooshes, etc. I've been looking into Paulstretch recently too--a cool program that can turn simple noises into ambient notes.
Hope you're doing well up at the wall Jon Snow!

Great video, tnx guys! And as many mentioned arts are very cool, really atmospheric! The only thing I have to say that city of Luck is should be written and pronounced as Lutsk. That's much more correct;)
Truly beautiful, such a captivating way to tell history. I love the imagery, the sounds and the novelistic way you describe the historic events.
Except it's laughable revisionism. no "ukraine" existed even theoretically in 13th century.
During this period, there wasn't Ukraine nor Russia. There was a 'Rus'. For me this is a fundamental mistake in title of video.

@@glib4571 I meaned, that historical name of the state ruled by Rurikhids was Kievan Rus. The geographical regions was called Red Rus, Black Rus, White Rus and so on. Maybe they used the name Ukraine, but I think, that was used for describing geographical region covering the ares around Kiev.
@@Polnisch_StalkerPL I mean it easier for a modern audience to understand the title of the video by using the modern geographical distinction no? "The Mongol Invasion of the Kievan Rus" might be good for the the out-and-out history nerds, but not for most others.
The lands locared between the Syan and Don rivers was refured to as "Vkrayina" (meaning "in land") as far back as 1147. With time the peoples of the region adopted the name to differentiate themselves from their norther cousins who userped the name Rus' for themselves.
Yeah but most people might not know that so I don't fault him for using that in the title anyway.
I'm so happy I found this channel
Can you do a video on the actual tactics that the Mongols used to defeat their heavier armored and more numerous enemies? I remember reading/hearing about how the Mongols were lightly armored with leather and silk and used repeated hunting techniques, attack and retreat, to draw out and tire their opponents who thought they were running away. The silk would not break against arrow heads and could be pulled to pull out the arrow from the flesh.
This was so well done I came back for seconds.
Some new content is on the way tomorrow to save you from watching re-runs :)
These are fantastic my friend ❤ only just found them

“Never fight the same enemy too often or you will teach him everything you know of war.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Keep up the good work guys amazing job
these videos are so well done and entertaining! i'm on a binge watching sprea
The narrative visuals and sound effects during the mongol conquests gave an apocaliptic feel and the Rus rebellion/counterattack gives such heroic vibes to their struggle
They must have felt like they were fighting the last war on earth and the end of the world is closing, as they fought for their very survival against an enemy of apocaliptic scale and talent for warfare and destruction, from a far away land many of them never heard of, as entire civilisations clashed for the fate of Entire Eastern Europe, it must have took the courage of true heroes to rise up in arms even after they witnessed the power of their foe before and the dire consequence of insubordination.
Something I think is especially interesting about the Mongol invasion of the Kyivan Rus is that Subutai's tactics and strategy in fighting them would heavily influence the Russian military over 700 years later. In part by studying how he operated, Soviet military theorists in the 1920s and '30s were able to create the Deep Battle theory that would be used to great effect in defeating the Nazi invasion during World War Two.

Love your videos. Very informative and stylish
the artwork visual aids are absolutely striking and beautiful!
this is my first time hearing the Mongols attacked Ukraine back then
Enjoyed this episode, can I ask where the music from 8:40 - 10:00 is from. Sounds epic.
Great video, thanks!
The writer of your scripts deserves credit here. This is good content!
there, at the end of the world, they are hard people.
they are people who, when they become angry, would rather die by their own swords.
the fact that a mongol said this peace of truth, and that it actually happened, showed how tough slavs truly are, what started as a meme that is mostly related to russians on the internet, allways finds a way to prove that it is more then a meme, shure you can make it about the vikings the finnish the polynesians and about the germanic people for example......but when you put that with the slavs......there is something nostalgic with it, something that not only gives you a feeling that they are one of the toughest if not the toughest among all people on earth......but it gives you an heavy feeling that there is something that simply does not allow it that the slavs would get counqered, that it does not allow it that the slavs loose there identity, dignity, mentality there spirrit, who they are in existence.
This is the most impressive consistent history channel I know. Thank you for your work.
Well done and great narration.
The quality production of this video is spectacular
amazing how mongols, with just a few horsemen, completely annihilated eastern europe and parts of central europe. Their warfare was truly ahead of its time..
@Peter Mauser yup, basically
@Peter Mauser yeah it was just a few horsemen... Poland had about the same number in force. Pretty insane with just some horsemen they could ravage europe like that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Legnica
I think most have in as they left mountains of heads
Most gave in
@@tha1ne they weren’t just “some horsemen”.they were using Chinese siege weapons and other sophisticated tactics which they had absorbed from Chinese and Korean military engineers.those siege weapons alone were far superior than any European weapons of the time.
Not just Ukraine, more like all of Eastern Europe,
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc even Poland!
*man your videos are OP!!!* 🎉🎉
Man I love your work
