[@jiyan4800]

I think almost every transition war between dynasties in China should be on the list. My understanding is when the population of ancient Chinese dynasties reaches 50 million or above (except Qing Dynasty), the conflict between population and food becomes more severe, as limited arable land cannot feed them all. Also, follow the time goes by, more and more lands are owned by landlords. They are mostly officials or prestigious squires, and they usually have a lot of tax benefits or even tax/labour exemptions. Therefore, the central government receives less and less income and then has to force tenant farmers, labours, and merchants to pay more tax, making them harder to live. Eventually, when bad weather or even disaster comes, famine comes as well, people from the disaster area flee to another area, making another area becomes scarcity of food as well. Then the snowball effect starts and the dynasty starts to collapse. In the end, when the new dynasty establishes, the estimation of the population usually to be around 10 million.

[@kshitizsrivastava9429]

But how do they 50 million in first place.. Like you said that there was scarcity of food and land... Then how did 50 million people even survived... And dont forget about deaths due to diseases which is nothing to us right now.. It is like they reproduce constantly whenever they have time...

[@jiyan4800]

@@kshitizsrivastava9429 First, ancient China had large amounts of arable land to feed millions of people. (eg, As early as 2 C.E. during the Han dynasty, China had a population of some 60 million) Then, as you said, the population infinitely grew but land and agricultural production were limited. At a level, all arable lands were being planted but the population still grew. From that time, the average amount of daily food per person started to decrease. Also, the government received fewer and fewer taxes due to the reason I mentioned above, so the government increased tax rates for farmers, labours, and merchants. making the problem more severe. The transition period between each dynasty can last 50 years or longer. it all started with the storage of food due to natural disasters. Then rebellions, and then the entire country was in chaos. During the dynasty transition period, it might have included hundreds of wars that at least made thousands of casualties. Those untreated corpses can cause a plague. Also, Insurgents without military discipline always massacre or rob civilians, and destroy infrastructures and farmlands. I think deaths caused by the above issues should also be considered as war casualties. You can also check this link for the population estimate of each dynasty. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_China). I am sure these estimates are not accurate because each ancient dynasty had a few groups of people not calculated into the population. (like monks and nuns, Taoist priests, slaves and servants)

80 years war worldwide? I think putting it as the Low Countries would work better, no? (Or the dutch republic, or current BeNeLux, or at least western europe?) also historiographically this is a bit of a debate because it wasn’t as much a war of two countries against each other as it was a civil war and a revolt, which is why many Dutch historians nowadays prefer to call it the Dutch War of Independence (“De Opstand”) instead of the Eighty Years War! Love this video though, it’s well made! Really makes you realise the scale of some of these wars you’ve learned about. I for example never realised how many lives the Reconquista of the Iberian peninsula took. Really puts things into perspective.

You're missing the Chola-Chalukya wars in India which killed 1-2 million people between the 10th and 12th centuries.

[@Portagas.D.Ace75]

It was a terrible war. If I'm not wrong even Chola and Rashtrakuta war and Pulakeshi of Chalukya vs Harsh Vardhan of Vardhan dynasty had massive casualties. In Rashtrakuta one, Cholas ended up becoming vassals of Rashtrakutas until their fall and re-rise of western Chalukya Empire. And in case of Pulakeshi, he defeated Harsh Vardhan at age of 13 which was very epic tbh.

@@bendover7841 What do you even know of history??? The Marathas destroyed the Mughals as an effective power long before, made them their mere vassals and humiliated/humbled them - the great Mughal Emperor was barely the mayor of Delhi by the time of the British. You’ve clearly not read of the 27 year long Maratha war of independence where the Mughals brought cumulatively 1.5 million soldiers on the tiny fledgling Hindu Kingdom. Fielding barely 150k at their height, employing forts and guerrilla warfare and most importantly fighting for Swaraj ie Hindu freedom the Marathas survived. Following this, they went on to defeat the Mughals, subdue the Nizam and stave off the Afghans - all the main Islamic powers of India, obv the main one the Mughals being the one they effectively destroyed.

Please consider that regarding Europe there is nothing in this list for the so called "Dark Ages" or Early Middle Ages (until about 10th century). For High Middle Ages we have mainly the Crusades (4:19) which it's one of the reasons why Middle Ages are considered so dark in comparison to the following enlightened periods. And the Hundred Years War for (very) Late Middle Ages. Overall not so much compared to what came after (if you consider that in 20th century we had 2 almost 3 world wars in 100 years). Just remember this when someone uses the expression "returning to the Middle Ages" or, worse, to the "Dark Ages".

Así es: el autor del video, partidario de la leyenda negra antiespañola establecida por los protestantes, concede plena credibilidad a la idea de que para los españoles los indios, súbditos de la Monarquía Hispánica, eran más útiles muertos que vivos (desconoce, en este sentido las Leyes de Burgos, asi como lo que franceses, ingleses y holandeses sí hicieron en sus respectivos dominios coloniales). Confunde los efectos de la contienda de conquista (muy limitados) de los Imperios azteca e inca con las consecuencias del impacto vírico de la viruela, de la gripe o del sarampión entre la población indígena, con cifras polémicas y que a día de hoy, más de quinientos años después, siguen sin poner de acuerdo a los historiadores. Por supuesto, el autor del vídeo no habla para nada de la brutal política de ocupación colonial británica de la India, con decenas de millones de muertos provocados por el hambre debido a la exportación masiva de grano indio con destino a la metrópoli, siendo la última de esas hambrunas la de Bengala de 1943, con Churchill plenamente consciente de las consecuencias de su gobierno colonial (ese gran estadista que, supuestamente, salvó a la democracia en Europa).
