The Field of Blood (1119) War for Aleppo #2 // CRUSADES DOCUMENTARY

[@HistoryTime]

- Watch my latest history documentary here:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWSrommLlquEp80 Greetings fellow travellers & welcome to History Time. Long term viewers- Sorry about the long wait for this one. Got some cracking content lined up though... North Sea Empire anyone? If you enjoyed the video please don't forget to like and subscribe. We got tons more content on the way.. Let me know what you'd like to see covered next in the comments (I'm mostly interested in the centuries between 500 to 1200 AD at the moment)

[@romelnegut2005]

The North Sea Empire topic sounds very good to me. I would love to see videos about that since I don't know anything about it.

[@georgechristman2465]

Komnenian Restoration

[@HistoryTime]

md ziden many more to come in this era!

[@HistoryTime]

Romel Negut You're in for a treat

[@HistoryTime]

George Christman yes! we will get there eventually, a favourite topic of mine

[@IceniBrave]

Nice pair of videos, thanks. A lot of YT videos about this era come with a distasteful undercurrent of Islamophobia. I like how you avoid all the 'cross vs. crescent' clash of civilisations nonsense and focus on the power politics that was really at the heart of the period (and basically all periods).

[@HistoryTime]

Hey there - Thanks very much! That's exactly what I'm going for so that's good to hear!

[@BrorealeK]

My favorite narrative bit in history is the slew of Syrian Turko-Arabic strongmen who came about and used Jihad as a veneer to bash their Muslim neighbors into submission without outside interference. It's almost as though culture and religion are political tools, rather than self-perpetuating realities that affect everyone the same exact way!

[@twrghost_dog8528]

Agree 100%

[@wolfgang757]

Really top shelf series, details the events of the time looking equally at all participants. There are many existing histories of the Crusades, most fair and honest, but logistically and politically they don't adequately cover the Islamic side of the conflict. That well may be from lack of information at the time, or lack of interest on the part of the public, but times have changed and this series is a substantial improvement on what came before, thank you.

[@FlashPointHx]

Nicely done as always my friend! This is the build up to the 2nd and 3rd Crusade - fascinating time

[@HistoryTime]

Flash Point History thanks mate! it is indeed a fascinating time! So much to tell

[@fatmaboujenoui3163]

It is but doubted that it peoples there enjoyed the time

[@SaintGBar22]

This channel is absolutely amazing! You do the kind of work Ive always looked for. Just fantastic work!

[@MrVictorflo]

Marvellous video. I've been watching this chanal for a few months now! It's a nice example of historical narrativism. Keep up the good work!

[@HistoryTime]

MrVictorflo glad you like it! Thanks very much

[@davidpinton7889]

Rise and grind, the subs will come. Great video

[@HistoryTime]

david pinton thanks man!

[@deltatrippers]

So well told. Your build up for the next chapter is xlnt. How do you not have more subscribers? Your descriptive narrative is straight up and to the point. Keep up the great work. As far as the “long wait” between videos, you’re giving us quality over quantity and that’s always the best.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks man truly appreciate the kind words. So much more to come!

[@stormblessed8877]

Fantastic work as always! Finally a clear and concise explanation of the lead up to the Field of Blood. Keep up the great work mate

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@tjallingappelhof2055]

History Time Hey I watched some vids of yours and I just subscribed. You have a really good voice and the videos are really interesting. How many videos do you upload per month? I really like these vids about the Middle East, history always surprise me how detailed and interesting it can be. Will you cover all crusades (and wars between them)?

[@mrdioniso1624]

Wow, this video came out just when i'm studying the crusades for the middle-age history exam! Perfect timing man!

[@HistoryTime]

Glad to be of assistance

[@HistoryTime]

And good luck on the exam!

[@mrdioniso1624]

Thanks!

[@TH3R34L5H1T]

You're awesome bro. Great content.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks for watching. You're awesome too

[@ridleyroid9060]

Holy shit this is just mindblowing. I was just completely unaware of much of this period that doesnt involve my country (serbia). So much to take in, my head hurts.

[@Centenkiko]

Loved the video!

You knows it

Most of them seem to fall rather quickly, more like chaos is a lottery :)

[@bookerhogg4112]

Amazing video, are you going to do a part 3?

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks very much! The story will be continuing, it won't be part 3 though. It will be moving sideways to look at the other powers of the region, before moving forwards to eventually get to the Second Crusade and then the Third, and then the Fourth, etc..

[@matteofumagalli3918]

[@TheSamuraijim87]

Ah Prince Roger. Vigorous and very much a brave man, but not, i think, a statesman or great survivor of his age. Curiously enough I would say the same thing about Ilghazi, given his imminent following death, drunk and forgettable after being thrashed by the Georgians. Certainly not the equal of King William or King Roger II. Not someone who deserves to be ranked among the great rulers after 1066. This video was quite somber, all things considered. Reminds me of the old Hellenistic saying "Never think to climb Olympus, never try to marry Aphrodite."

[@HistoryTime]

Agreed. Ilghazi coming next !

[@bubblebreak4160]

Al-Jazira which of course means The Jazira in Arabic

[@HistoryTime]

BubbleBreak indeed. 'The island' in Arabic if I'm not mistaken, because of its lush pastures

[@farajaraf]

@@HistoryTime it's because it's surrounded by water, River Euphrates and Tigris, ;)

[@emadrawi4451]

Thanks to clarify the history

[@guiguillaume9624]

The history channel 👍👍👍👍👍

[@meanders9221]

Fascinating, riveting, top quality content! Very impressive recounting of the power politics of the crusader kingdoms in the Levant. I look forward to other episodes in the 500-1200 AD period, the transition from the ancient world dominated by Rome to the high medieval period.

[@HistoryTime]

Appreciate your comment! Great to have you on board!!

[@ThomasTheLukeEngine]

You should consider doing a history of the Kurds during this period. Did they have their own dynasty/sultanate or were the Kurds mainly bureaucrats and military officials in service to the Seljuks like Saladin's Family?

[@wael4070]

Luke Thomas nationalism wasn't really a thing back then

[@HistoryTime]

Nice idea, I am going to be covering some of the smaller groups under the thumb of the Seljuks during this time. There were various Arab, Kurdish and Armenian groups that rose and fell through these centuries. So many fascinating stories. You are right about Saladin's family. They were loyal soldiers under the Zengids and then rose to prominence.

[@warrior316]

Can u do Hannibal’s war on Rome

I Pete! I'm running a youtube history channel I'm planning on starting a patreon account. I liked the idea of the perks you give to your supporters where they can have a vote in choosing what topic you're going to cover in the next video and am planning to implement it myself. What survey programs do you use to monitor the voting process? :)

[@HistoryTime]

Hey there! At the moment I'm just asking people to comment which topic they would like to see covered. There's probably a better way but that's what I'm going with for now

[@gpfamily3279]

wrong link its the asme part

Thanks for the headsup! sorted it out now

[@oguzhangorgun6918]

Bad side of fighting against Turks or Mongols (nomadic) that one always faces complete annihilation at defeat because of great mobilization of light cavalry.

[@deanbuss1678]

Hard to imagine how any civilization or cities could have been built while so much war was/ is going on in Syria.🤔

[@HistoryTime]

War has been a facet of life all over the planet for thousands of years unfortunately

[@mogyesz9]

Dead the last few decades in the West are not the norm, but the exception to the rule if looked in historical perspective. Your own comfort shouldn't trick you.

Yet, the civilization as we know it started not far from Aleppo :)

A metropolis in Syria. One of the oldest cities on Earth.

I'm sorry it was ment as a joke. Gary Johnson, the presidential candidate for the Libertarian party asked this during an interview. by the way, love your videos especially those on Viking and Roman history

[@blakops000007]

Can't wait for Saladin to unite all this mess!

[@timuraktolga5698]

Saladin ended up as loser not victor. He was defeated by king Richard and lost key cities such as Accre.

[@blakops000007]

Who cares the Mamluks conquered everything at the end and went to defeat the mongols. If anyone should be the hero it's Saif ad-Don Qutuz.

[@naelaoun3311]

@@timuraktolga5698 How did he lost ? Richard went with an army to Take jerusalem. He came back with an battalion taking âcre. Jerusalem was still in the hands of Saladin, he was victorious.

[@naelaoun3311]

@Syed Ahmed I doubt that Richard even came to a reach a tenth of the military genius of Saladin. Hattin was by far one of the most decisive and impressive military victory in history
