Genghis Khan - The Rivalry of Blood Brothers - Extra History - Part 2

[@extrahistory]

Jamukha was fighting to maintain tradition and the aristocracy. Temujin was a radical who cared more about the quality of his followers’ character than their heredity.

It's all hearsay, don't take it as facts. Historians are still arguing when he was born. The Jarmukha stuff definitely happend when T. was about 20-30 with J.'s defeat as late as T. being 40-50.

[@jlhartsock7089]

Denying his son would break the heart of Borte. And if there is one thing Temujin knew, it was to never go against his wife whom he respected so much.

[@MGZetta]

Also Temüjin killed some of the people that betrayed Jamukha. The reason was "if you betray your leader that easy you will betray me in a hearth beat." So out of respect and his sworn friend he executed them and handed them over to Jamukha. Temüjin and Jamukha was still sworn friends respected each other even though they were fighting. There was not enough space in the sky for two suns. So one of the eventually had to set.

[@trihermawan9553]

Apparently he still tried to pardon jamukha offering him to live peaceful live under his protection but jamukha still want to die as a warrior.

Look, man, all I'm saying is that I always show up 5 minutes early, and I've never caused any Mongolian Steppe wars.

[@Lionsbrood_]

Great video again, nailed almost everything on it's head. But there was just one thing that I could find of issue; You underplayed the value of Genghis' essential adoption of Borte's illegitimate son. On the Steppe, children like that would have been left to die under normal circumstances, but Genghis didn't do that. He brought the child in, claimed he was his own and very much treated him as his own son. It just goes to show the actual character of this man, behind the facade of the military leader. And it further pokes holes in the "Genghis is a vicious military leader who killed everything in his path" mindset that's so often blindly accepted.

[@ElBandito]

Yep, and as soon as Jochi grew up Genghis put him in charge of an army. He trusted his oldest son as if he was his own.

[@GutsLikesItInTheAss]

Jochi was actually supposed to become next Great Khan after Genghis died but his jealous younger brother Chagatai protested, calling him a bastard. For fear of future civil wars, Genghis Khan appointed his 3rd son Ogedai as new crown prince. But it didn't help, as the Jochid family and Chagatai family would feud later and break the Mongol empire. This video is a bit inaccurate in that regard.

[@thebobgoblin3481]

He legit killed children

[@togucvinw7]

Guts Likes It In The Ass Wait ,I tought this vidéo showed Temujin already had a 5 years old boy with Borte before she was kidnapped So ho come the young est Chagadai be jealous of Jochi (the old est ) and call him a bastard when he himself is the bastard,son only to Borte and not Temujin

Born in grief, raised in hate, Khan would use force, cunning and more than a little bit of wrath to unite the land. Genghis Khan was still terrifying and deadly force. He might have not been a cackling, mustache twiddling super villain but he was a terrifying force no matter which way you spin it. Truly an example of a human being

[@Marlin123]

+Respect

[@FearlessSon]

The relationship between these two men is akin to Shakespearean.

[@Fnatic2010]

It is. In the end, Jamukh loses and flees into mountain. His subordinates capture him and brings him to Chinggis Khaan. But Chinggis Khaan executes the captors saying how he can trust them if they are willing to betray their leader in time of his hardship and releases Jamukh. He forgives him but Jamukh saying how there can be 2 sun existing at the same time under the eternal blue sky and requests to be executed. So Jamukh is executed in the way royal family members are executed, without letting single drop of blood.

​@@mewe1717 super late reply, but what I found funny about it wasn't that it was illogical but how, I don't exactly know how to put it, "relatable" it seems, most people, whom are not conquerors, would assume that a leader like genghis khan would answer to no one but himself, but to see him seek guidance from his mother makes him seem a lot more human than warrior

In an epic tale, this story would end with their armies clashing into each other and the two leaders searching for each other on the battlefield. And then they see each other. The sounds of battle fade as the two adverseries look each other in the eye. No words come out of their mouth; there is nothing to say. They charge at each other, exchanging weapon blows to test the other's defences. It is clear, they are eaquals. But, in a moment of fate, one slips and the other takes the opportunity to plunge his blade into his opponent's chest. They look at each other one last time. The loser is smiling while the victor is overcome with tears. He gently lays the other down and cries. He did not defeat a rival today. He lost a friend... I believe I have an idea for a story now...

[@cptndunsel2670]

Unfortunately that is not how things playdd out. After decades of war, Jamuqas forces were reduced to a few, and they lived in the mountains as brigands. Feeling pretty fed up, Jamuqas men turned on him and delivered him to Temujin in chains. These men thought they would be rewarded, but instead Temujin was disgusted by their willingness to even lay a hand on their own lord and had them executed. It was then that Temujin reminded Jamuqa that they had once been blood brothers, and could be again. But Jamuqa refused this offer, and said that there could only be one Mongol lord on the Steppe. He asked instead for a Nobleman's death; a death without spilling his blood, for to the Mongols spilling a noble's blood is taboo. Temunin obliged and had Jamuqa's spine broken, and allegedly buried his one time friend and nemesis with the golden sash that they had exchanged as adults.

The movie "Mongol: The Rise Of Genghis Khan" shows a very interesting way that Borte was kidnapped by the Merkits. As she and Temujin are fleeing from them, Temujin takes an arrow to his back. It's not a fatal shot, but he is growing woozy and losing consciousness. Deciding to let herself be captured so her husband can escape, Borte grabs Temujin's riding crop and spurs his horse on so he can get away in time. Now THAT is what I call a loyal wife!

[@thedoruk6324]

*Truly Astonishing Uploads Credits ! Appeciate it very much !*

[@Theodore45921]

We must remember a few things. First Temujin's grandfather had been a Khan (Qabul Khan), but his father didn't become one. And while some clans were more powerful and noble than others Mongol succession is a unique process and not as simple as regular hereditary succession. Merit still plays a large roll in deciding who will be Khan. When a Khan dies his primary wife oversees the Quriltai, where the tribe would decide upon a new khan. close blood did have some sway but the deciding factor was who could be the best Khan for the tribe. Someone with a large army, who's proven himself, is charismatic, and can leave the clans alone, who can be a good arbitrator. Sometimes this process took years to decide and sometimes was a bloddy affair. Also note that even if your Khan your position is never secure. You can be challenge at any time and if many clans didn't attend the Quriltai to vote on Khan then your rule isn't as strong and you'll basically have to subjugate the clans that didn't come.

Fun fact: Before Jamukhai died he told temujin that “just like there are no 2 suns there are no two khans”

[@gabrielperron7403]

There,s a million things he hasn’t done JUST YOU WAIT!!!!

[@tommyfox854]

[@ericperreault461]

I’d just like to say that whoever draws for your videos makes amazing horses.

[@ryandebruin9221]

I enjoy these series videos so much and learn a lot from them aswel. It’s amazing.

Reformer vs. Conservative . . . Never heard this story before

[@namingisdifficult408]

PlifalTV yep

[@timothymclean]

Every great turning point in history is a time when a reformer (for good or ill) overcomes a conservative. That should be obvious, from the definitions of reformer, conservative, and turning point.

[@IIBloodXLustII]

Yep, Bolsheviks vs Royalists, NSDAP vs Weimar Democrats, Racial Collectivists vs Individualist Conservatives. The truth is that Genghis Khan (At least at this point in his history) is more like the US Conservatives. Individualists based on merit and character (At least in theory, Trump is not a good example of this). Reformers are not necessarily the good guys. Extremely often they have been the bad guys.

[@commissarkitty3553]

Same deal with the Romans, the Greeks, the persians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Egyptians, axumites, etc.... Same idea, diffrent story and it's still happening today, overall reformers tend to be better for a nation more so than stern traditionalists who want to hold progress back.

[@theghosthero6173]

Did you know that the thing that probably killed the Neanderthal is that they were by nature conservative, unlink some sapiens, and well, you know the story

[@superfly19751]

Your document is second to none my friend. Very much to the points. Very easy to understand. And covering all the important moments of the Khan’s history. Well Done!

[@MrDrProfPuce]

i am really liking this series so far. I think it may be one of my favorites. Up there with khosrau and Sengoku Jidai.

[@Revy8]

you guys do such a good job. informational and educational. teachers in school were so boring and didnt have any passion for their subjects (probably from years of repeating the same thing). i think this is the new medium of learning

[@bauhausa6933]

IT WAS WALPOLE!

[@darth1nsidious726]

Diogenes the drunk I agree

[@claudiag.9307]

Diogenes the drunk though it was Bismarck's plan

[@mundi9642]

Yes of course it was me

[@benb.8550]

Hitomi Iwahana Except for the Mongols.

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

Go home, Diogenes. You're drunk.

[@AhJong0]

Fascinating as always, love seeing where these great figures of history originate from.

[@Packless1]

3:30 ...perhaps for some good reason... ...Napoleon once said: "Lost area can be regained, but not lost time...!"

[@viking8796]

Quality, as always. Love this channel.

[@laksio227]

Please do the Hungarian Revolution (The Soviet one). Good Video btw.

[@stromthetroll]

They don't look here you have to go to their patreon and they only pick based on money

[@pogpengwyn]

i thought they only did things prior to to 1920's or something

[@laksio227]

+Tormenta Mathan Thx for the Info.

[@laksio227]

+Patrick Star Ok thx.

[@stromthetroll]

No they have one about the Cuban missile crisis going right now, though older history is usually less bias so it is easier to do, especially since governments usually do not release info until decades later.

[@bonwastaken5998]

Can I just say that I absolutely adore the way you drew the horses

[@bricebakker8830]

Believe me if I was a bit older I would totally pay you guys on later on it makes me feel bad that I cant

[@greensteve9307]

I've never enjoyed learning history until this channel.

[@cordee21]

"-Jamukha came from higher lineage than Temujin" That's not true. Temujin's great grandfather was the founder of the Mongol confederation which included Jamukha's tribe. Temujin's father once led that confederation which you didn't mention. Jamukha and Temujin shared the same ancestors. But Jamukha's line was from a bastard. So his tribe was seen as outsiders by the other Mongols.

[@unursukhbaatar3682]

Exactly. Jamukha's progenitor Jajirdai was born from a pregnant woman captured by Bodanchar. From him father-son lineage goes like this Bodanchar - Khabich Bagatur- Menen Tudun - Khachi Khulug - Khaidu - Tumbinai Setsen - Khabul khan - Bartan Bagatur - Yesukhei - Temujin. Khabul Khan was the founder of the Mongol confederation.

[@meharahmad7534]

I like the radical image of temujin at 9:01 wearing headphones

[@BanditRants]

Love this channel.

[@youssefchihi8388]

Seriously, i can't get enough of these extra history episodes

[@potassiumk7954]

Could you do a series on Salahuddin. It would be great to see on this channel

[@randommodnar7141]

[@potassiumk7954]

Random Modnar yup

[@tejaspratap9131]

02:02 Mr Stark I am not feeling so good.

[@ExtremeBunnyFighter]

I love this series to bits! You guys are amazing at giving me different perspectives on historical figures, that I thought I already knew. You guys rock!

[@TheDougliestDoug]

Highly recommended Genghis Khan reading is the 5 part series by Conn Iggulden. Fantastic.

[@sattarix2160]

The whole time in my head: Temujin- JAMUKHAAAAAA Jamuka- TEMUJIIIIIN Temujin- **charging rasengan** JAMUKHAAAAAAAA Jamukha- **thrusting out hand and powering his chidori** TEMUJIIIIIIIIIIIN

[@ethanhaynes7406]

Yes More Extrahistory!

[@deirdregibbons5609]

I´m enjoying this series very much. Also, at 6:21 I think I caught a Discworld reference! :-)

[@mayettetanio856]

TOP 10 ANIME BETRAYALS

[@sgt.krakatoa1093]

At 1:22 I like how Hoelun is like "dammit not again"

[@ElBandito]

Dear Extra History, if you want more traditional idea vs. radical idea, then cover the Mongol Civil War between Arig Bokhe, who wanted to maintain Mongol nomadic identity, and Kublai Khan, who wanted sedentary approach, emulating previous sinicized dynasties in Northern China.

[@aintitmax7113]

I love this channel and history love the channel keep it up

[@aintitmax7113]

Also two series at the same time thx

[@milczyciel]

Meritocracy is my favourite utopia. I grew to disdain every other, but that one - that one I still hold dear to my withered, bitter heart.

[@nathandestler1309]

What, giving the powerful more power so they can use it to amass even more power? Meritocracy exaggerates any difference between people until the powerful have been given so much more power that don't even need to have more merit to be the "best" anymore. Left to its own devices, meritocracy turns into dynasty before long. That's why capitalism, which has always rewarded merit, seems to inevitably lead to dynastic families controlling most of society's resources. Yeah, it's not as stable as divine right, but for a system based on pure meritocracy, it ends up being remarkably un-meritocratic.

[@SirAroace]

This is why meritocratic rule must have a base of compassion and human rights.

[@markushaahr9194]

milczyciel So your Hearth is bitter and withered? Why not just throw another log on the fire and clean out the dust? You’re gonna be wanting your hearth ready for dinner as eating in a hearth is fancy as hell. You’re so lucky to have a hearth, I can’t remember the last time I heard someone having a hearth. Stay cultured man.

[@commissarkitty3553]

Nathan Destler it's still a step in the right direction meritocracy isn't perfect and the irony is yes it can lead to powerfull families controlling most of the wealth but absolute meritocratic societies have power checks that redistribute wealth accordingly to avoid such rifts and the ability to delegate power in order to manage such huge resources.

[@milczyciel]

@Nathan That is why I called it utopia. In fact, I consider each and every political ideology to be just that in the end, if only because we are flawed in a way, that makes us hellbent on breaking and violating even the best ideas we come up with, for the most pitiful of reasons. BTW in my eyes what you described is not a flaw in meritocracy, but good old nepotism leading to oligarchy and all that. Not to mention that in my book exaggerating differences (in talent, effort and experience which should be foundations of meritocracy) is way better than evening them out.

[@youdontseemeyourjustseeing1230]

Bruh i live how they draw the horses so. Adorable
