[Sardar Aayan]

Killing envoy is sign of being coward so i will not kill them 😝😂😂

[Monsterxdude]

He said Tuesday

[Umar Ansari]

Kings and Generals are you happy with Fight decision?

[Christos Christermi]

cool , a recap

[OMAR m]

hahahaha what the hell is wrong with everyone killing envoys its the worst job ever

[sibin mathew]

To see something of this quality for free....what a time we live in

[Kings and Generals]

Thanks for watching!

[Alessandrogonus]

Ever heard of Dan Carlin!!! ur welcome

[Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus]

@Saif yes but we are not paying

[Kings and Generals]

New video in the series: bit.ly/2H3veCL

[Boo Radley]

What movie theatre do you go that charges for documentaries? They're free everywhere. Thousands of them on youtube. Or is this the "Give me a job please" version of white knighting?

[black cole]

They take "never kill the messenger" to the next level

[Firebird166]

Best person ever for history!

[The Khans]

@Firebird166 yes

[Ochirsukh.M Osgar]

yeah, if you kill the messenger, your whole people, the empire would be massacred. if you treat the messenger well, then your country will be blessed by Mongol Empire.

[The Khans]

@ @Ochirsukh.M Osgar , Yes, but not the entire nation or empire would be massacred. Only about 1/4 to 1/20 were. Most were spared

[Ochirsukh.M Osgar]

@The Khans agree

[Trey Nygma]

We need a Mongol tv show in same vein as Vikings

[Trey Nygma]

@Smelly Patel unfortunate but true

[NPC]

@Smelly Patel your projecting yourself I think. Justbefore this I watched BBC live action documentary on Genghis and theres alot of movies made on him

[Kafchuga]

Try Marco Polo

[Otanak Nanarluq]

@Smelly Patelwhite university students are taught to hate themselves for being white. You won't find many people especially in metropolitan areas who will openly proclaim they are proud to be white or Western. Western Empires are continuously lambasted by Western media. Stop projecting your own narrative. Moreover, it shouldn't be up to Western people to create movie adaptations of Eastern History and Culture.

[Sipho Ndamase]

Subotai was the real deal... The material we get from your channel is amazing and detailed... Thank You for the rich history

[JXTG]

Genius sabotai

[Florida_is_FULL]

dude read the book "the mongol art of war" this doesnt do him justice that man ate and slept war another great general i read about is Erich von Manstein he was a nazi but he was a beast in strategy

[Ozymandias Was Right]

Or Dan Carlin's Wrath of the Khans, huge part of episodes 2 or 3 (i think) are about Subotai. He really was incredible.

[rmtutoringservices]

Does anyone else love the breaking glass sound when one unit smashes another.

[joebama]

@casablanka gae

[Jack]

@casablanka no

[Marvel Widjaya]

I did, but then I realized it was the sound of hundreds of men dying by rout

[Vinícius Premiano]

True! Haha

[B]

Kind of like the computer game age of empires.

[HighlanderWest9]

The pure military genius is mind blowing!

[CFL_ Finn]

"However this was a trap" Most common line when talking about battle with Mongols

[Umbrella man]

@علي ياسر Drive away small Mongolian scout unit is big deal for them 😂😂

[Umbrella man]

@علي ياسر 🤣😂🤣😂show me the receipt!

[HHG_Avery]

Their genius is deceitful deeds like burning libraries. :)

[jamreal18]

They deserve their own Total War title.

[Kings and Generals]

Hopefully, one day.

[Amgaa AC]

total war attila is almost same. Huns are part of ancient mongols

[Askanier]

Huns are not Mongols, they were nomads and followed Tengri, but their ethnicity is very different.

[Askanier]

@San The huns were from the caucasus, so are you saying the chechens are mongols too? and the georgians? how about we add the armenians also?

[Askanier]

Yeah, they were called Hunnu because their ethnicity was that, not Mongol. I don't even get what you mean by saying "I am talking about the mainland". If you are talking about East Asia, the Huns did not originate from there, there is no evidence of it. Their language was Hunnic. Or are you just simply believing that any barbaric horde from Asia has to be Mongol? In Mongolia we talk about the Hunnu as an entirely different kind of people, our ancient predecessors, not as Mongols.

[Anomalice]

Damn their trick to leave a small hole letting the obviously defeated enemies escape, giving them a sense of hope, only to kill them off gives me shivers down my spines. It's a brutal way to prevent unnecessary casualties, it's ridiculously evil but brilliant as well.

[Luqman Osman]

By far my favorite K&G series. Pure class. They need to make a Viking types tv show about Genghis and his sons.

[NISARUDDIN AHMED JEDDY]

Genghis khan is remembered as the greatest miltary genius the world has ever known. In fact his Miltary tactics and strategies are studied till today by Army Generals.

[66_greenrunner_77]

That honor lies with Napoleon, most scholars will say so, as Genghis tactics are incredibly outdated by now and most of the big wins were won by his generals. Where have you read that he is regarded as the most brilliant military mind?

[conclusive evidence]

@66_greenrunner_77 what are you talking about? his standards of manuever warfare are still being used today, the mongols even defeated the rus in the winter, in which napoleon failed to do so..

[Walid Drissi]

It was subutai who was the military genius and who really lead the mongol army but Genghis was a good leader and politician

[66_greenrunner_77]

@conclusive evidence they aren’t studying genghis khan tactics in artillery schools are they?

[66_greenrunner_77]

@conclusive evidence and napoleon never fought in winter, he fought and defeated the russians during the summer and had to retreat as winter kicked in.

[Joe Sylvester]

I always thought there should be a military documentary on the Mongols called “Steppe by Steppe.”

[Proculus Julius]

I see what you did there. 😂

[Shivam Chandrol]

Most people wouldn’t get it . Lol 😆

[Kermit]

lol

[Andreas Borg]

Lfmao

[jimgag2]

You mean like “Steppe By Steppe” by the Crests?

[Bert]

This channel is so underrated. Some of the best military doco's out there and for free. Thank you for your amazing work.

[PLR]

Subutai was the greatest general who ever lived. He created military fronts by coordinating multiple armies at once as they invaded foreign lands. This was at a time when armies fought individually and established frontiers with spaced out fortifications (or natural barriers). They couldn't fathom a wave of highly mobile attackers that came from everywhere, and so Subutai succeeded in overwhelming his enemies. This feat would not again be duplicated until the 20th century with German tank warfare. Subutai was hundreds of years ahead of his time

[Random Guy]

Moeshaak Shakur No,Subutai was an unmatched visionary hundreds of years ahead of his time,the guy who said previously that was absolutely right.

[Natsag Sarantsetseg]

Who is the subutai? It looks like Subedei And dont mind i am just mongolian who loves history and just passed down in here

[Rehoboth Bitege]

@Natsag Sarantsetseg You are Mongolian that's cool. I usually don't ever meet Mongolians, the only one I know is an MMA fighter in the UFC, Danaa Batgerel

[Irfan Tariq]

Alexander the Great, Napoleon and Khalid Ibn Al Waleed were all better than him

[Anantam Bisht]

@Irfan Tariq shut up , I think monologue conquered your lands muslim

[Nemenon]

This was extremely interesting to watch, I had no idea the Mongol commanders were so skilled, I guess my ignorance allowed me to believe they were just barbarian warlords who zerg'd the entirety of Europe and Asia with their significant numbers.

[Panzer Killer]

You think a bunch of nomadic horse herders had the population advantage against nations like China?

[Nemenon]

@Panzer Killer I know pretty much nothing about them, so yes, basically.

[Salt T]

@Panzer Killer in my mind I imagined the mongol army was like a billion people and a billion horses so that’s what I figured too

[Salt T]

@J N or we just don’t prioritize mongol history in basic education

[Alkira Mari]

38:50 I'm speechless... I admire the Mongols strategical minds! Six months ago I knew only The Hu Mongolian band, and after playing Ghost of Tsushima I became interested in Mongolian History. I'm glad to have found this channel, thanks I'm learning a lot.

[The Khans]

Yes

[Lucky Luke]

Haha, that’s awesome mate. Welcome to the Mongol community. The Hu is an awesome band too.

[The Khans]

@Lucky Luke , Yes

[Proculus Julius]

My favorite songs from The Hu are wolf totem and their rendition of Metallica's "sad but true". I was always passionate about history and the Mongols are a huge part of the world's history.

[12 12]

60-80% of that army was Turkic tribes. Mongol were mostly capitans, commanders, ordinary troops was still Turks. Thats why after century nothing left about mongols but Turks were strong before them and after them. No one speaks mongolian (except Mongolia 🇲🇳) nowadays compare Turkic languages throughout the region. No discrediting mongols at all. They were one best fighters. However it was simply impossible without Turks. Turks were as good as mongols. Riding horse, archery 🏹 everything was almost the same but Turks were more available than mongols since Turks outnumber them and it was easier to hire them.

[N K]

Awesome guys. Top class effort even better than what history channel used to be. You guys are educating generations. Thanks so much

[Chú Bé Thông]

Damnn this is so informative and highly reliable source of history, Idk what to say but you guys are phenomenal people who have devoted time, energies and efforts to make an hour educational video for FREE

[Julie]

This is the second vid I've seen from your channel and I'm subbing immediately! I'm not a history buff, however I just re-read a book that included some history (China) and am so excited I came across you guys! Your production and narration is fantastic and I can't wait to continue wandering down this rabbit hole of our worlds history :) Liked and subbed 😀

[dingle berry]

This channel is truly a history buff pipeline 😊

[A427]

“Do not scorn a weak cub. He may become the brutal tiger.” -- Mongolian Proverb

[Rudransh Ranjan Tiwari]

Шар шувуу Top 10 however it was a trap

[Winnie]

@Rudransh Ranjan Tiwari brutal wolf* We mongolians worship wolf more than any animals.

[Jonathon Robinson]

@Winnie More than horses?

[HellPwnage 666]

The Mongolian version of "Don't pick on the quiet kid"

[®️μdπ@k$h]

@Winnie And we indians(Hindus perticularly) worship cows more than anything else with only close runner ups being elephants and monkeys. Are we friends or enemies by that logic!?

[Trentoskivich]

This such a great documentary. I'd love to see a video comparing empires from the past. I especially find it so fascinating how different empires chose to control the territory they won.

[Jun]

Your research level is beyond question; what a delightful pleasure to learn from your videos :D

[Stephen McCarthy]

This is a history channel/ discovery channel level show, unbelievable, cannot say enough about how well it's presented

[shivi verma]

Not surprised to see why Temujin won like that. Born and brought up in the harshest of climate and circumstances, he had developed nerves of steel, a mind like razor and tremendous fighting ability. Top it with the right policy of rewarding merit than blood, he won the loyalty of the best of warriors who were united in body and mind and who could conquer any territory they wanted with their total dedication to their cause. I have a feeling that above all Temujin wanted respect. If he had been given that by other rulers perhaps much of bloodbath could have been avoided.

[Golden Age Flash]

I was engaged in house work while listening to this great history I had to stop my work and devote full attention to this exquisitely video High compliments to the CGI producers interpretation of Mongol history and to the narrator! Looking forward to the next sequel Thanks for sharing

[GM pick]

Genghis was a strategic war genius he controlled the battlefield like he was fighting children. He knew what they would do before they knew. This has happened to many men throughout history.

[Lucky Luke]

The man simply had GPS intelligence well ahead of everyone else. Had he lived another 15 strong years 20% of world population today would carried his DNA lol.

[Grimgore Ironhide 🇺🇦]

His main advantage over his enemies was the spy network he created. Its how he managed to survive against his fellow Mongol rivals and eventually foreign rulers.

[Mexico XV]

the master mind behind genghis khan and their sons was subotai, before the great general, temujin fought 20 years wihout many sucess.

[Bob bobson]

Chinggis' main strength was his ability to organize and delegate. I would be surprised if he was directly involved in tactical decisions int he field, this was probably left to generals and unit commanders. His genius lie in his ability to 1) unite his men 2) organize the military structure effectively and 3) promote his generals on merit and ability rather than social rank.

[damien morath]

I always amazed by the research that must be done to make these wonderful videos.The script and animation is first class.....very well done...thanks to the people who make these videos

[Colin Smith]

I want to thank everyone behind this channel, such great documentaries I can hardly believe they're free. Thanks for everything, live long and prosper 🖖

[Jenny]

This is amazing history! Thank you so much for doing this❤️. This should be in Netflix

[NRX]

Subutai was very impressive, you can't help admiring his strategic skills and bravery

[Unknown Swede]

Subutai is the most underrated general in history.

[J L]

Andreas Sweden his name is pronounced (soo boo teh)

[Ari]

@Ubisons yeah, it was Philip who did the work, Alexander only crossed rivers from a different side and used hammer & anvil, if not philip this tactic wouldn't even stand a chance

[Acdragonrider]

Senpai no there was more to Alexander the Great. His tactics were brilliant.

[Bottlecapbill]

That fact that the early Mongolians were so successful is because they appointed leaders based on talent, rather than birthright. Everyone they faced in battle did NOT do this.......and as a result most armies were full of stuffy lords mostly looking out for their own interests or slaves and peasants who didn't want to be there in the first place. It's always easy to defeat forces that hate each other as much as they hate you, especially when you're united. Add to that political corruption from within the empires you're at war with, and well they do half the work for you. Later on, once the Mongolians start to assimilate with the ways of their enemies, they too fall apart. Fighting each other for control of the empire, stabbing each other in the back. They became what they were fighting, and so they eventually faded away as well. This is why most empires and nations don't last very long. Power always corrupts and the intensity only increases over time. Until your own people don't care enough and welcome invaders in the door.

[Online English]

Greatest general ever Subotei

[Steven H]

I was surprised by the length and the quality of this video. I was just looking for a history video on the Genghis Khan and this is a pleasant surprised. Outstanding work!

[aadhi d]

This is such an awesome series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks a lot 🙏

[Scottlette]

A fantastic summary of the early military history of the Mongols.

[Isma DD]

How I wish this was how we were taught history lesson in our classroom before, so interesting and excitement.

[Basmala Saad]

For me, especially Genghis Khan's battle with the Jin Dynasty, Subutai's with Hungary and Hulegu's battle with the Mamluks had me sitting on edge!!

[Astro Chef]

This is documented so well I wouldve love to see my old history classes using this

[Sinan Tabanli]

28:35 - Mongols executed one of the tactics of Sun Tzu in his famous book about war strategy 'The Art of War' "Enemy who has nowhere to flee fights hard, so leave a gap to break their team-spirit."

[Char]

Or Mongols and Sun Tzu had same idea.

[MeChupaUnHuevon]

Sinan Tabanli That’s just common wisdom in warfare

[BB_Arcadia]

@MeChupaUnHuevon its common wisdom because of sun szu's tactics

[MeChupaUnHuevon]

@BB_Arcadia Not it's just common sense

[Max K]

@MeChupaUnHuevon No it's not 'it's just common sense'..Totally depends on the situation. You would have handled Cannae differently?

[ravenous 03]

Subutai what an amazing strategist and tactician 👏

[Stephan Van Lombergen]

this is not real

[Say what now?]

@Stephan Van Lombergen nah

[Melvin Fuentes]

This 1 hour video is worth watching. I am glad that I subscribed to this channel.

[SOUVIK DAS]

This is a very well made documentary. Must be well-preserved for generations to see and ponder upon the history of humankind.

[JB Cheema]

Subutai and Jebe are two prime jewels of Mongol Pragmatism.

[N.j]

@altangerel tsolmon good to know that

[iknow]

This is free of charge, how? This can easily count as one of the best documentaries available, riverling Netflix level production. Great job guys.

[iPan Zer0]

mongols, the only kind of warrior who clashed with knights, saracens, hashashins, and samurai.

[Gucci Jay]

If they continue the conquest in Europe maybe they can reach Norway to fight vikings

[Yatharth vats]

They didn't really have any major conflicts with samurai as their two attempts to invade japan failed due to typhoons if i recall correctly

[Avilith Game Studios]

@Yatharth vats The second attempt did have some fighting

[iPan Zer0]

@Yatharth vats some mongols probably got washed up into the shores of japan and got finished off. that may still count. hahahaha

[Googane]

There is so much more you could add on this lits its actually ridiculous. Majahapits, Mamelukes, Rus, Byzantium, Selquks and every turkic tribe in the Eurasian steppe.

[aGr3atD4y]

Wauw, the rise of the Mongols was epic! When is season 2 supposed to come out?!

[Parallel Worlds]

Great video and fantastic research. Unbelievable , for the fact I've been trying to understand the extent of history of Mongols rule .

[Carl Brandon Valencerina]

This is so good! This is my favorite channel for sure! The animation and narration is a beauty

[Nova Angelica]

I felt bad when the prince of khwarezm died , it was really a long journey for him building armies just to avenge his kingdom and father :(

[WoodHouse (Lahore Furniture)]

😭

[Basmala Saad]

Why his dad gotta be killing traders for?? *tut tut tut*

[Stephan Van Lombergen]

when the prince of khwarezm died i was happy

[Grimgore Ironhide 🇺🇦]

The Prince of Khwarezm was a ruthless and evil man. He raided Georgia and Armenia for money and place to setup his base. He killed thousands of Christians because they worshipped a different religion. He alienated the Seljuks and did not try to make peace with the Abbasids. In the end he ended up being assassinated by the Seljuks. I used to admire him for trying to resist the Mongols and regain his fathers Empire. But lost sympathy when he behaved like the Mongols.

[Chibble]

The mongol tactic of leaving a gap for hope of escape is by far the coolest tactic I know about

[Moris Kurth]

The Khwarezmian Prince (Whose name I can't be assed to spell), really deserves a bit more sympathy. He saw his nation all but obliterated, and he was the last remnant of an Empire he desperately tried to keep alive. In the end, he got assassinated, after leading his troops from India to Anatolia. It's a fascinating story, really.

[Kenan Tiryaki]

Celaleddin's nephew,(Kutuz), defeated the Mongols in Ain Jalut.More interesting information :)

[Bataa Bagi]

​@Kenan Tiryaki Yup, Mongols had around 20k force and Jelal Aldin had 40k mountain mercenaries. He was a respectable turk thou. Kudos to him and his persistence.

[Carl Bernard]

You can't be bothered to spell 'Jalal ad-Din' but you can be bothered to spell 'Kwarezmian' lol. ok.

[Bataa Bagi]

@Carl Bernard Sorry , I Spelled it from my own language. English was not a popular language back then you know. We don't even call em this Kwarezmian thing. We call em Sartuuls,

[Anjyc]

@Zero Saber yeah history is not history when there is opinion or emotion of someone.

[Biraj Guha]

This should have a BILLION views !!! Premium history lesson!

[Rafael Serrano]

Para aquellos que hablan español, recomiendo la obra más actualizada sobre el tema: «El imperio mongol» de Antonio García Espada, editorial Síntesis, 2017.

[David Oliveira]

Really highest quality. And superbly illustrated and explained! Thanks

[Soumyadipta Majumder]

I request you to make a comprehensive video on the rise and fall of the Gokturks and other Central Asian Khanates. A seperate series should be made on different nomadic empires.

[Angie R. N]

Absolutely incredible video on KZbin! Quality work 👏 👌 👍

[Please be patient I am slow]

The Mongols just seem like far greater military fighters and thinkers than virtually everyone who stood against them

[General Zeleck]

They had discipline and loyalty

[GhostRaiter]

Except the Lithuanians. Undefeated against the mongols.

[Byak Byakshdee]

@GhostRaiter 😂😂😂😂😂 gimme what u’r smoking

[GhostRaiter]

@Byak Byakshdee true story Look it up. And it was followed up by them creating an empire (Lithuanian / Polish Commonwealth) that was larger than the Roman Empire and almost as large as the Mongols (from the Baltic to the Black sea). It lasted almost 300 years.

[I like turtles]

@GhostRaiter Lithuania was a Mongol vassal...

[Carlos Sanabria]

The mongol empire maybe wouldn't have gone so far without subotai. What a genius commander, so ahead of his time

[[HQ]Life]

German army in the 1930s: *Takes notes*

[shaggyzor]

I love how I read the comments before I started watching, now I laugh out loud every time I hear the "but this was a trap" or "but the envoys were killed" hahaha. Great video loved it!

[Carlos Garcia]

Excelente documento, ojalá los demás estén traducidos al español...interesante 👍

[MC Twain]

After reading Marco Polo book of wonders and history of mongols this helps so much with visualizing their incredible accomplishments. you are a great person for sharing this!

[Kiran{ಕಿರು}]

I really enjoyed the video, It's superbly explained about the legacy of the unfearable Mongole Army, And it's vast expansion , throughout the world 🌎

[Jeevachaithanyan Sivanandan]

Wow... This video should be a Netflix series ... amazing graphical work and explanation. Best wishes...

[Kings and Generals]

Hopefully. Thanks! :-)

[sharadowasdr]

It can be done on the lines of Vikings.

[Voki Bre]

Was thinking that time and time again. Imagine doing a series on the mongol empire, with historical and accurate story lines. Fuck that would be good

[ATM. NS7.2001]

Marco Polo Netflix Series

[Geru]

That is precisely why it isn't a Netflix series.

[Elaine Varian]

Have watched this many times. It’s masterfully done! Thank you!

[alper ayibogan]

Mongol Empire stats: - envoys killed: 872 - the retreating tactic and crushing the opponent after that: 6931 - going back home (distance = like, half of the world) because your khan died: 54

[klila16]

Your channel is amazing so much history is accessible to us commoners in a way that civilisational history makes perfect sense.

[Arline George]

It's beautiful to learn from interesting parts of history.

[Rambo - has changed]

A history student needs a history documentary like this for free.thanks for this video it will help me in my exam. U got a new subscriber

[Zenie Hudson]

I love history.... Love it more by the way it was told , narrated by you. Am truly grateful ..

[Broken Bridge]

The Mongols were certainly mighty warriors n empire builders. Their tactics n strategies were both brutal and innovative. And they worked. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.

[Ricardo Perez]

Imagine if The Mongols faced off against The Spartans and Athenians I'd think that would've been an awesome thing to see

[Broken Bridge]

@Ricardo Perez---Oh yeah,

[Saima Saima]

Ricardo Perez Spartan is nothing infront of Mongol

[Justus P Wesseler]

Based on the longevity, the empire was dogshit

[OnlineNamesAreStrange]

@Justus P Wesseler You know they were the best when they still have haters hundreds of years after 😂

[Divya Chowdhary]

OH WOW. Never before had I understood the Mongols this well. Thank you so much!

[Jimmy Bellmon]

This was amazing, great story and visuals 👍

[Emil Pavlić]

I've learned more about Mongol empire in 1hr then in few years of history classes in school. This video trully amazed me.

[Shevek 5]

No aguardo de SEGUNDA TEMPORADA!

[Florida_is_FULL]

i just finished the book "The Mongol Art Of War" and besides my imagination this brought it to life Thank you Thank you Thank you

[shohokuslamdunk]

The great Khan telling his grandchildren "All I wanted was to have a pleasant conversation and make some firends, but them bastards keep on killing my envoys..."

[JP ㄔㄗㄛㄨㄑㄥ]

that is politics. lol.

[MindAtRest]

Tea with the Khan?

[Karsel Tang]

exactly... and i thought killing envoys are considered a dishonourable action

[Faber]

@Karsel Tang The mongols never honoured their agreements and the merchants sent bearing gifts were in fact most likely spies

[musawi niaz]

shohokuslamdunk this good one

[Simon Tonkin]

Thank you for the true history of the Mongolian Empire.

[YsGames]

where is the fake 1 then?

[Stephan Van Lombergen]

this is fake

[Амир Темир]

Genghis Khan is not a Mongol, Genghis Khan is Kazakh, his name is Temirshin (iron) in Kazakh, the names of his sons are Kazakh zholshy (fellow traveler) in Kazakh because he was born on the way, chagatai, tolui, all Kazakh names for the Mongols do not have such names

[Abay Kozybayev]

@Амир Темир жарайсын

[Ehsan Anwer]

Thank you very much for making such informative videos. I'm have seen many of your series and find those extremely informative . Kind Regards Ehsan

[FireBallTweenkie]

Amazing watch Truly informative, in a way that got rid of all my preconceived thoughts. I never thought to look at the motivations of khans actions to better understand him as a person. Especially where history has failed to explain.

[that bloke]

Ghengis, Alexander, Napeleon were grown up infants that treated the world as their crib

[Vijay Banga]

Historically as good as possible.Excellently presented. Must keep up the good work. My very best wishes to each member involved in making such qualitatively superior work of history.Many thanks.

[Richard Wang]

Great movie! One thing, Möngke Khan didn’t die in Mongolia. He was defeated, injured and later died of his injuries in China during his campaign against the Chinese empire Song, at the mountain fortress Diaoyucheng (modern day Chongqing).

[Gamerland]

Watching this makes me feel sad about an empire so large, and having its greatest generals at its beginning to push on the rise, but no great generals to defend at the end.

[Kade Anderson]

So what I’m learning from this video is 1) don’t kill the messengers and 2) Don’t start feasting and drinking when you’ve only destroyed a force that can’t possibly comprise the entire enemy army 😂😂

[Joe Adams]

The after-action overhead shots look like dead meat ants to these tired old eyes. What a remarkable and educational series. Congratulations 👍.

[Joseph h Hickman]

TEMAJIAN showed resiliency from a rough childhood that carried on into a remarkably long life ... it was recognized by local tribal factions and were able to unite with sheer nbrs and skills with weapons to overwhelm much hated enemies .

[Bilguun Batsaikhan]

Even as Mongolian I'm amazed this content quality and presenting method. I used to get bored in a history class but this is hella interesting. Thank you so much for your hard work.

How did somebody recorded this history? It's amazing.

[Wiijii Fidelity]

Scribes accompanied military campaigns of olden days. That's how modern historians are able to piece together what happened

[Kate Elliott]

I just found out that I am mostly Kazakh and Mongolian, this is a wonderful video and very informing for someone who wants to know her ancestry

[Ankit Saggi]

[the nforcer]

An interesting and informative video. An hour spent well. Worth every second. Thank you for creating this video.

[Bacon Sans]

THANK YOU for the interesting video! Can you make a video about the 16 Kingdoms of 5 barbarians, the 5 tribes of Mongolia, Manchuria, Siberia. Mulan is actually from Mongolian Tuoba Wei, who fought with Mongolian Rourans during this period.

Gengis Khan: So, sons. How was your conquest this year? Ögedei: I subjugated the entirety of Turkish Persia, and pummled their entire population Chagatai: I invaded the central Asian steppes and distributed the specialists around the empire Jochi: I want to preserve the beauty of this merchant town Gengis Khan: _Jochi you're such a dissappointment, you are now removed from your post_

[Rehoboth Bitege]

Jojo Momo So interesting to see how Jochi differs from others and how he is almost excluded from the family

[KingY2j]

@Rehoboth Bitege because the only thing he would accomplish with that would be rebellion against foreign invaders

[Rehoboth Bitege]

Jojo Momo Very sad he was removed from command for saving lives

[Rehoboth Bitege]

Jojo Momo When do you think they are going to upload season 2?

A man of a dynasty thrice beaten, founding such a great empire!

[dieyoung]

That was great, a couple of years of college history for free. My thanks to everyone who participated.

[Antonio Icnarov]

Should be notice, China is not a very accurate concept at that time. Song Dynasty saw people of Jin as foreigners and barbarian , and tried to use them to weaken Liao, but at last put Song itself on fire. After years of war, Jin forced Song to admit that Jin Emperor is the uncle of Song Emperor (father at first).

[Dementors]

"What was once considered a nuisance, had brought a 20 million strong nation to its knees" that line gives me chills for some reason

[Annatar]

"In the span of two days, the strongest kingdoms of central Europe was defeated" rare sentence that one

[Alkis05]

Being famous for feint retreats has the added benefit of the enemy becoming reluctant to pursue the retreating army, when they would inflict most damage. So even in defeat not all was lost.

[Azhar Latif]

In defeat ,Nation learn methods of engagement by novel weapons that opponent never seen or expected. Such as ,Pakistan Air Force raided Indian fighters standing in hangers .Indra Ghandhi then P.M. of India planned to attack East Pakistan,name changed to Bangladesh. Politicians of Indo-Pak in power behaves as marble playing street urchins , instead of playing creative zero-sum games.

Interesting how Genghis spent his whole career recruiting based on talent, loyalty, and hard work, but ultimately passed down his vast Empire to a group of sons who, though somewhat experienced, were definitely Not the most capable people to suceed to the Throne. Interesting to ponder what might of happenned if there had been a succession chosen by the Army, much like the succession in the Roman Empire during Imperial times. Most people credit the beginning of this Roman system of succession to Trajan and Nerva, and while they certainly played in important role, I would argue that this way of doing things was established back when Nero was deposed. Galba was able to (breifly) rein as Emperor because he, at least initially, had the support of the Legions in Spain, Gaul, and along the Rhine. More importantly, Vespasian was able to win the Civil War that ensued after the death of Nero, and even establish a whole new Dynasty, because he had the support of the Legions in Egypt, North Africa, Syria, and the Legions along the Danube. When the Flavian Dynasty collapsed, and the Senate tried to proclaim Nerva as Emperor, the Army rejected him, and only accepted Nerva after he agreed to adopt the Army's preferred candidate, Trajan, as his son. Too bad Genghis couldn't just adopt a talented General as his 'Son' and see that adopted Son Legally and Socially accepted.
