The Taifa period in Al-Andalus also experienced great cultural advancement during a time of political termoil. Same thing with the Warring States period in China.

[@CatnamedMittens]

Same with Italy during the actual Renaissance.

[@peacehopelovecharity]

On a smaller time frame, during the 4 years of the American Civil War the Union still built the transcontinental railroad and passed the Land Grand act that allowed each state to create state owned universities to allow common people access to higher education.

Timurids a very underrated empire in history!

[@londonbudgetgardner5205]

Timurids Failure to put down sustainable state building practices (All the Islamic cultures did it with ease)

[@YoLo-hx3cs]

@@londonbudgetgardner5205 nah its not that. Timur centralized all authority to himself to stay close to rebellious generals but his death did not allow for a state apparatus to be maintained like the other islamic states.

[@appleofeden9101]

Timurids very underrated, all they did was kill Muslims and build skull towers, despite being Islamic. 😂😂😂Timur destroyed the whole middle East and Ottomans and Mamlukes, and Golden horde 😂😂😂 that's why the Middle East and Central Asia become underdeveloped and impoverished 😂😂😂still today never recovered from the mongol invasions,

[@Merle1987]

Is this a compilation or a new video?

[@CatnamedMittens]

Ironically that rule you mentioned in the beginning was also not applicable to the actual Renaissance, where Italy was constantly at war.

[@poetryflynn3712]

For different reasons though. Italy was the trade center of Europe, and after the northern half left the HRE, outside powers constantly wanted a piece of that pie.

[@lambert801]

@@HikmaHistory also, I thought the view count was particularly low for what I would think your video would deserve and often when I see that happen I assume youtube didn't promote the creators video for some reason when they normally would have.

[@Nom_AnorVSJedi]

Why didn’t the Timurids last as long as their contemporaries, the Ming and Ottomans?

[@CatnamedMittens]

Internal instabilities

[@fredflinstone6601]

Murder and mayhem, that’s all

[@lambert801]

Ah, many reasons. A major one being their excessive brutality, which turns out wasn't very palatable to their subjects.

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

They did last a long time, through Babur

[@SahilChaudhary-j1q]

Politics of state, timurids operate in the same way why Mongolians operated. That means extreme centralisation of power, even in lower ranks there was a lot of centralisation. As a result getting into a strong position makes one very powerful and solidifying one's position makes him unchallenged. However if you can march in the army, fight a war and win you will be unchallenged till the next war. Basically the only way to climb the administration ladder is by war. And constant civil war makes the empire weak.

The Timurid empire snd thr Mhugal empire are nothing to be scoffed at or looked down upon. Definitely nihher and mote successful than any of my empires both foreign and domestic🎉😂LoL😅

[@appleofeden9101]

Timurids were disgusting Mongoloid barbarians, Mughals were mostly Persian and Indian, the Mongol and Turk blood was almost wiped out luckily.

[@paulroese1376]

so why did all the Timurid zones of conquest become backward areas missing out on the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions that went on in the West? what happened to all the social, economic, medical and technological progress? why did the area become a virtual dead zone for advancement unable to keep up with Europe? i am unaware the Mughals identified with Genghis Khan and the Mongols. they didn't speak Mongolian or follow Mongol culture. did they celebrate GK's birthday or connect with folks in Mongolia?

[@parjanyashukla176]

Both Islam as well as Christian barbarians have leeched off on other societies' intellect and resources. Neither of the two possess any social or existential vision for humans or humanity at large. The "achievements" mentioned in this video are essentially a copy-paste from pre-existing intellectual advanced societies such as China, India and pre-Islamic Iran. Mullahs have been plagiarizing and looting for over 1,200+ years and branding everything as "halaal" and "Islamic" after an imaginary circumcision and kalima recitation.

[@malis9045]

Thats a common question, but its based on false assumptions. The actual technological difference between europe and the middle east was neglible until the industrial revolution. The Mughal, Persian and ottoman empires where incredibly advanced and sophisticated, to the extent that the Mughals contributed between a 4th to a 3rd of the Worlds GDP at their height These places had rugged terrain and a rural spread out population and didnt have an economic system like Europe, where capitalism promoted and necessitated endless growth and expansion, all of which caused there to be no need or conditions for an early industrial revolution(although the mughal economy was very much on its way there till the empire declined, having a similiar quasi-industrial economy like 18th century europe) Additionally due to many internal factors these strong empires would decline right at the point when europe started making its leaps fartger ahead, the mughals disintegrated and safawid Iran became a battleground of different dynasties and Warlords vying for Power For the Mongol Identity, it was simply that the Mongol's legacy was incredibly impactful for central asia. Timur tried to tie himself to the memories of a strong ancient mongol empire to legitimize his rule, as the Dynasty of Ghengis was often seen as the only legitimate rulers in Central asia, due to their family ruling over the lands so long(before that the Gokturk clan filled that role). The Mughals inherited that legacy and called themselves the "House of the Son-in-law"(as timur married into the Borgjin(Ghengis Khan's) Dynasty). Though culturally, they were a jumbo of Afghan, turkoman, mongol and persian. Which generally happened with nomadic groups ruling over different cultures, they mix and adopt new ideas and cultures

[@paulroese1376]

@@malis9045 why did the technological and scientific difference between europe and the middle east continue to grow even till the present day? there must be some reason unlike China and other spots in Asia seem to catch on to what the West was doing but Mongolia and Central Asia didn't? why would leadership in Central Asia be tied to a bunch of invaders like the Mongols who's rule was short and left Eurasia worse off after Mongol power collapsed? the Mongols were also responsible for the end of the Islamic golden age when the destroyed Baghdad and murdered the entire population. what modern nations base their government on Genghis Khan's policies?

[@paulroese1376]

@bbdo1111 yeah so very powerful 800 years ago. Mongolia today is a sad state.

[@BOZ_11]

Europe used the industrial revolution to plunge the rest of the world into poverty. India was estimated to be 20% of world GDP in the 17th century. Mansa Musa was the richest man in the world as patriarch of the Mali Empire. The Ottoman Empire was the richest polity in the world for more than three centuries, and China was a vanguard society for 3000 years before the opium wars with the devilish pale faces. Whilst the Europeans were sharing their homesteads with their livestock, developing chickenpox and other livestock related diseases in the Dark Ages, there was an Islamic Golden Age to the east, furthering architecture, medicine, astronomy, engineering and mathematics

[@sonarbangla8711]

These central Asian dynasties of Tumurid empire and Babur's ancestors were very intelligent and could organize themselves masterfully, so that the later Turks never turned to India, in creating one of the best empires like the Ottoman.

[@appleofeden9101]

Babur wasn't a Mongol or Turk, but a Pakistani and Indian, the Mughals spoke hindustani, it's very unfortunate they were related to the Mongoloids like Timur and Genghis, Turks and Mongols are gross.

[@sonarbangla8711]

@@appleofeden9101 The Moghuls were not the only Turks to invade India, the Kuru destroyed the Yadava tribe after the Kurukshetra war, the Kuru were Turks who came from central Asia, they taught you to make ULU sound and broke your spine and taught you Semitic Hinduism.

[@appleofeden9101]

​@@sonarbangla8711India is a wasteland anyway, even Alexander the Great gave up on it, Turks were just poor people living in tents, they weren't great conquerors. Until much later on. The Mughals were actually Mongols, Babur descended from Genghis Khan as well.

​@@sonarbangla8711Turks were mamluke slaves, even Chinese/Arabs/Persians had Turks as slaves. Mongols invaded and destroyed Central Asia, and sold the local Turks as slaves to Arabs, leading to the Mamlukes of Egypt.
