China had biggest territorial extent when non-chinese dinasties ruled.

[@redhongkong]

mongol empire were divided under 4 or 5 khan right after Genghis khan dies. the mongol empire under genghis khan is very big without doubt. but kublai is the founder of yuan dynasty and only control oriental asia, i dont think its any bigger than earlier dynasty. han or tang dynasty are fairly bigger since they intentionally call army to north to drive away all the horse raider tribes (thats when they start migrating to europe) they also setup trade governor to secure silk road. Qing dynasty run by manchurian emperor might be bigger than mongol if u are talking about size.(qing royal family always have marriage with mongol lords, that keeps its size to max)

[@larshofler8298]

Well, that means it was NOT China when non-Chinese ruled over China. It was not China who conquered the other nations. It was the Mongols and the Jurchens. But to be fair, Chinese-led Tang empire commanded a large territory and tributary system comparable to that of Yuan (including control over Mongolia and Central Asia).

북원 분열 후 만들어진 네 칸국들은 이름을 어떻게 발음하면 될까요? 그리고 각 칸국들의 국명은 13세기 몽골처럼 각 지도자의 이름에서 따온 건가요? 아니면 부족명에서 따온건가요? 혹은 지명에서 따온건가요? 오늘 영상 정말 최고였지만 투메드 족의 알탄 칸이 명을 몰아붙이고 티베트와 연계하며 달라이 라마를 몽골계로 후원하는 등 16세기 중후반의 흥미로운 상황들은 설명되지 않은 게 너무 아쉬웠습니다. 그렇지만 정말 방대한 자료들을 통해 이런 좋은 영상 만들어주신 점 감사합니다!!

[@TheDragonHistorian]

재밌게 봐주셔서 감사합니다. 알탄 칸의 경우 엄밀히 말하면 원나라/북원의 역사는 아니라서 딱히 설명은 하지 않았으나 나중에 기회가 생기면 꼭 다루도록 하겠습니다. 각 칸국들의 국명은 알탄 칸국을 제외하면 지도자의 이름에서 따온건 아니지만 그렇다면 어디에서 따온 건지는 모르겠습니다. 발음의 경우 한국어 위키백과에선 알탄, 자사그투, 투시예트, 세첸이라고 표기하고 있습니다.

the names of the Khanates Altan, Tumed, Zasagt, Setsen come from the sons of the descendant of Dayan Khan Geresenze. The Khalkha troops were divided by him, and his descendants already divided the territories

[@user-fi2vi5xj7f]

@@gogmagog9883 What is geresenze? I can't find the meaning of geresenze in google. Also if the names were originated from sons of the 'descendant' of dayan khan, Was mongol divided far after the death of dayan khan?

[@gogmagog9883]

@@user-fi2vi5xj7f Geresendze Jalayr Khuntaiji is the youngest son of Dayan Khan. According to Mongolian traditions, as the youngest son, he received his father's yurt, namely the territory of Khalkha (modern territory of Mongolia). Genghis Khan transferred power to Ogedei, but gave the territory of Mongolia to his youngest son Tolui, who was the ancestor of Dayan Khan. A similar situation was with Geresendze. After the death of Dayan Khan, the Mongols always tried to unite. Abatay Khan, Ligdan Khan, Galdan-Boshoktu Khan and others. They all tried to unite Mongolia

[@dionadair8195]

Amazing video. In between this, the Chagatai video, and the Ilkhanate one, I'm starting to sense a possible buildup to a Mongol Empire video. Would that be accurate, or are you just going to do the successor khanates?

[@TheDragonHistorian]

I will do a video on the Mongols in general soon. There may also be a separate video on the Mongol Empire and its successors, since there were a lot of Turkified/Turkic successor states.

The Mongolian Empire tore up the Covenant and attacked the Song Empire, which was defeated and dismembered. The northern Han people directly supported Kublai Khan to establish the Yuan Empire and then perished the Mongolian Empire 6 years later.😂From the Tang-Jin Dynasty, the Chinese ruled the Mongols without asking you to learn Chinese, but your own Kublai forced the Mongols to learn Chinese.None of the official language, writing, system and culture of the Yuan Empire belongs to Mongols, which can be said to be completely sinicized.

East Asian history needs to incorporate the perspectives of nomad empires and China to fill in the gaps. When the Jurchen conquered China, it was initially a nomad nation. In addition, we need to understand the religious authority of shamanism, which is common in Nomad countries, to understand their thoughts.

[@lawrencezhang3050]

Manchus has never been a nomad nation, Xiongnu Mongol Turks are nomadic ppl. Manchus' livelihoods were hunting and fishing then turned into farming. Before Manchus conquered China and Mongol, they have already sinicized under the rule of the Ming dynasty. And Come on, even Mongols don't believe in shamanism, they believe in Lamaism(Tibetan Buddhism), only Tengri(Sky or the longl live welkin) have some connection with original Shamanism.

[@UbermanNullist]

@@lawrencezhang3050 So what is this?🤣🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4augJSYgbemqa8 Shamanism is a traditional culture that remains even today in Korea. The Manchus also had a similar tradition.

[@UbermanNullist]

@@lawrencezhang3050 That's why I said it's impossible to explain from only the Chinese perspective. Do you understand now? People with a shamanic mentality have different behaviors and attitudes.

[@tc2334]

I think it already does, but you need to speak an East Asian language. I know the histories of the nomadic people's of East Asia are covered extensively in Chinese. I think it's the English language resources that need to work on translating existing documents.

[@lawrencezhang3050]

@@UbermanNullist en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Mongolia. 54.7% Lamaism, 2.5% Shamanism. The original folk religion of Han Chinese is also a kind of Shamanism, The ideas of 苍天（Blue Sky, our ultimate faith）and everything has a soul are very typical Shamanism ideologies. But it doesn't mean we are still into Shamanism nowadays. We were civilized, so we developed Confucianism and Daoism which also have much more influence than Shamanism in Korea.
