After watching this series on Hannibal, it's safe to say, that he was one of the best generals in history on a par with Caesar, Napoleon, Khalid Ibn Alwaleed, etc. Without receiving any reinforcements from his homeland, he singlehandedly defeated many Roman Armies in enemy territory. It's also astonishing that Romans were able to raise so many armies one after another to oppose Hannibal.

[@Eluzian86]

Yi Sun-sin was also a genius military leader, and dealt with similar problems as Hannibal because some of the biggest morons in history were leading Korea during the Imjin War. However, I'd say Yi was in a much more fortunate position being placed in command of the navy because he was able to greatly disrupt the ability of the Japanese to reinforce and resupply, and stopping the Japanese army's advance in their tracks. The Japanese army had basically conquered all of Korea. They lost every battle against Yi though, so he was able to wear them down over several years to eventual defeat. With an inferior number of ships, Yi won one battle after another against the Japanese without losing a single ship. The only times the Korean lost in navel engagements in that war was when they temporarily removed Yi from command and torturing him as a suspected enemy spie before reinstating his command out of desperation after the Battle of Chilcheollyang, where the Koreans lost 188 ships with only 12 escaping. Yi would go on to win at the Battle of Myeongnyang against a force 10 times his own, sinking 30 enemy ships, another 30 disabled, without losing a single ship, yet again.

Cannae, the defections of allies. The backstabbing of Hanno the great back in Carthage. The Scipios in Spain and the conversation between Hannibal and Africanus before the battle of Zama. So much history and epicness and no one seem to want to do it! Someone should start a gofundme to produce this series.

This series highlights how good a general Hannibal was to have won so many victories with little or no support from his own country, but it also highlights how tenacious the Romans were and no matter how good your are on the battlefield, a nation needs to be fully behind a war effort in order to win.

[@aliashfaque1746]

Just imagine if Hannibal had backup from an empire like Rome. He would have captured the whole world I think

[@Youbeentagged]

Hannibal had less support from Carthage, than Scipio had from Rome. These are the greatest commanders of their time, and both were forgotten by their own country.

[@lifeschool]

Fantastic to see this epic story in movie form. Don't forget to update your playlists. ;) This is building up to be a super climax to the story. Mago is building up forces in Africa, Hastrubal is about to set off to Gaul, and Hannibal has fresh troops from Syracuse. The Carthaginian Empire probably covers more land area that at any time in their history, and the size of the Roman Empire in Italy has been driven back almost to a point before the first Punic war. Hannibal appears to have Greece in his back pocket, and Gaul by his side. Surely, nothing could stop the final collapse of the Roman Empire.

indeed Impressive, imagine after suffering the first 3 battles, they were already in danger. Then they raised an army of more than 100k within 1 year, many of them being young and inexperienced. The armies were divided into two 86400 for Hannibal and 25000 for Gauls in the north. The two armies were utterly crushed within a period of 6 days, At the Battle of Cannae by the genius Hannibal and at the battle of Silva litana where out of the 25k only 10 survived! I mean how could they even afford to stand again.

Carthage could have been the biggest, longest lasting super power in mediterrian and Europe if they managed to secure wood from the current area of France/gaul tribes fast enough for huge naval fleet. No wonder Rome had bigger fleet than Carthage, when they had faster, easier access to a lot of forests and ports from which you can make a lot of ships. Many gauls sold wood for gold. Strategic loss to Carthage, they were lazy and not aggressive enough to get enough ships to dominate Mediterrian sea and Rome.

[@drakehashimoto685]

What a great compilation for the Second Punic War! As always, great subject material, information, and graphic design and quality. Top-tier stuff :) Nonetheless, your analysis on both civilizations equally is by far interesting, since the specifics, regarding that of logistics, organization, economy, politics, conflicts (both internal and external) as much as the battles make this so f***ing enjoyable. It surely is amazing to see the competency of a general like Hannibal, but also the natural and seemingly inevitable aspects in history with nations as large as carthage and rome, in regards to factionalism, personal motives, interests, and much more. Nonetheless, it is also a testament of how Rome managed to persevere in the face of these struggles, especially with manpower decline, concerning tactical dominance from Hannibal, as much as possible foreign threats abroad (Philip of Macedon, Gallic Tribes, etc). The Second Punic War is surely a great account of any aspect of human nature and our capabilities. Just felt like saying this since I'm so glad there are history channels (such as Kings and Generals, Invicta, Eastern Roman History, Historia Civilis, etc), since this subject is one my many favorite fields of study. Personally, my top 10 or so generals, and maybe more to extend as well, would be either Hannibal or Alexander as 1st (I'm stuck to be honest) the other being second (depending on which one that would be), Julius Caesar, Flavius Aetius, Sun Tzu, Timur, Genghis Khan, Napolean, Belisarius (Eastern Roman Empire) Myamoto Musashi, and some more. But I digress, thank you so much as always, you simply make my day a much more enthusiastic one :)

It is interesting to ponder what might have happened in 215 BC if Hadrusbal had, instead of trying to link up with Hannibal by marching over land through Iberia and the Alps, tried to link up with Hannibal via the Sea. Hadrusbal had no way of knowing it yet, but a (mostly) stable line of supply had been established between Hannibal and Carthage via southern Italy. That line of supply had been further secured by revolts in Sicily and Sardinia, and in particular the defection of Syracuse. It seems to me that it would have been much safer for Hadrusbal to travel from New Carthage to Old Carthage, and then from there to Syracuse, and from there to Bruttiium. But, again, information took so long to travel in those days, Hadrusbal had no way of knowing this was a possibility.

This has become my favorite video series on KZbin. From the incredible rise to the terrible fall, the story of Hannibal is timeless.

What I find most interesting about this war, is how Rome was able to keep in it. So often lost wars are explained by "they were simply exhausted from war," like with the Byzantines and Persians losing to the Arabs. How is it possible that Rome, relatively small as it was at this point in history, was able to keep raising legions after losing close to 100.000 men after their defeats to Hannibal, and losing many of their allies?

Simple answer: patriotism! Roman republic invented patriotism.

[@marciobranco6192]

Indeed the mobilization capacity of Rome was like a manpower cheat. It is like that everyone wanted to prove themselves on field.

[@brendanzhang7488]

just sheer amount of able body people who were able to fight.They just lacked a good enough commander to face hannibal at his full strength

[@dylanhartung7749]

To the other comments point on patriotism. Rome especially post Cannae is a shining example of a habit of domocratic republics akin to western civilization have an unmatched ability to keep going set back after set back. Similar to the United States joining WW2, these civilizations may be perceived sometimes as weak and lacking the focus of more authoritarian regimes, but once their ppl become focused on a common goal, their ability to generate men, and competent economies, and patriotism/sense of citizenship keeps them going. And almost a saiyan-like ability to get stronger is their people gain more resolves. It’s not only seen in western Civ per say but the freedoms enjoyed by their people and ability to form coherent consensual national identity makes it a staple of western civ. But even places like WW2 Soviet Union had this ability once it was a battle for survival and every Russian had a very passionate national identity. But in later years you see USSR break up bc authoritarian civs lack cohesion to withstand even minute problems long term

Rome had a large ass population. Pyrrhus of Epirus basically gave up fighting Rome and left Italy because no matter how many Roman Armies he beat a new one would take its place.

[@yunghollow1529]
