The Mongol Invasions of the West, 1240-1288 - full documentary

Over the course of the 13th Century, the Mongols conquered the largest contiguous land empire in world history. This astounding world power emerged from the unification of the seven Mongol tribes under the leadership of Genghis Khan, whose very name has become synonymous with conquest. Proclaimed ruler of all the Mongols in 1206, Genghis and his descendants dispatched invading armies in all directions, and by the end of the Great Khan’s life his empire included much of China and Central Asia. Mongol forces also drove into western Asia and Europe. They subdued much of the Arab world, destroying Baghdad in 1258. Latin Christendom would face the full force of the Mongol Empire when they assailed Hungary and Poland. On the battlefields of Legnica and Mohi, the Hungarians, Poles, Croatians, and their allies, including the Knights Templar, would face the virtually unbeatable military machine of the Mongols.

Hey, I ordered a hoodie from your online store and have emailed you and spring and haven’t heard anything back. Could you help me out? Ordered on January 2nd and it still says my order is printing….

[David Mareska]

Great episode. Probably the best King the Crusaders ever had. History may have been different, had he not been cursed with Leprosy.

[Cecile Roy]

I have saved it!!

[Real Crusades History]

@Caleb Vinson Did you get it?

[Boots on the Table with Dom]

I find the rise of the mongols one of the most fascinating periods of history

[Joseph Percente]

Burned brightly, flamed out quickly happily enough. They remind me of the assyrians.

[Chief Sitting American]

@Joseph Percente They will return for YOU!!

[My Basement MMA]

I'm starting to feel the same because of the years they did this this wasn't during the Roman Empire this was in the 1200s very impressive as far as how much they overcame and what they had accomplished to do what they did as far as strategy goes and military brilliance but on a human level I feel horrible for the people it's hard to imagine

[B Doon]

Thank God they were not as smart as tough

[Csaba Elek]

@My Basement MMA One third of the Hungarian population was extinct - brutally.

[aliengalaxy]

King Béla IV of Hungary left to his son, to Stephen, a prosperous, a rebuilt, a fortified kingdom in 28 years. Béla successfully concluded the alliance between the houses of Árpád and Anjou with a mutual marriage contract. In the last year of his life, in December 1269, Abbot of Monte Cassino Bernhard Ayglerius visited Hungary as the envoy of King Charles I of Anjou. He reported enthusiastically to his lord, the foreign, impartial contemporary envoy saw Béla's court as follows: "The Hungarian royal house has incredible power, its military forces are so large that nobody in the East and the North dares even budge if the triumphant and glorious king mobilizes his army. Most of the countries and princes of the North and East belong to his empire by kinship or conquest." Galician-Volhynian Chronicle about the second Mongol invasion: "Talabuga went to the mountains which can be crossed in three days, but he wandered for thirty days pursued by the wrath of God, and they were so hungry that they started to eat human flesh, then they themselves began to fall, and incredible many were lost. Eyewitnesses said that there were a hundred thousand deads, and the ungodly Telebuga came back on foot and his wife on a bad nag, God made him so miserable" Louis I of Hungary dispatched Andrew Lackfi to invade the lands of the Golden Horde in retaliation for the Tatars' earlier plundering raids against Transylvania and the Szepesség. Lackfi and his army of mainly Szekely warriors crossed the Carpathian Mountains and imposed a decisive defeat upon a large Tatar army on 2 February 1345. The Hungarian warriors were victorious in their campaign, decapitating the local Tatar leader, the brother-in-law of the Khan, Atlamïş, and making the Tatars flee toward the coastal area. The Golden Horde was pushed back behind the Dniester River, thereafter the Golden Horde's control of the lands between the Eastern Carpathians and the Black Sea weakened. We can see this event leads the establishment of Moldavia in 1346 as a Hungarian vassal state.

[Yerik K]

This is a great video. I lived in Hungary 2005-2006, about 30 miles from Tokaj. I visited the area where these battles were fought a few times. Awesome job on this video.

[Real Crusades History]

Thanks!

[dorzsboss]

Very good job! History is quite interesting. I really think that the real source of the mongol sucesses at the beginning was no other than Subotai himself. He was a real genius in warfare. The proper man at the proper time in the proper army. That was the key.

[Dancer MGL]

General Subatai is the greatest military strategist in the history!

[d p]

Undoubtedly. I was always further impressed that he was only leading a reconnaissance army chasing enemies that had crossed them along the way when they invaded Europe.

[-LUKASZ- L]

Poland🇵🇱 Hungary🇭🇺 👍👍👍

[Olivia Stratton]

Thank you for this wonderful documentary! I recently signed up for a historical fiction event and was inspired to set my story in 1280s Hungary because I watched this video.

[Ž Š]

Would really be interested to hear about their incursion into the Balkans - I know they had some interaction with Serbs and Bulgarians, possibly even Byzantines

[ryan o]

They definitely had interactions when they weren’t raiding the north of the empire they were mercenaries.

[J6g4f8h3 78]

Excellent overview of extremely important history, little known in western europe.

[Csaba Elek]

Great documentary. I'll make some comments to finish up the story we have heard. 1. Battle of Mohi took place on the 11th of April 1241. Still, the Mongol army could rarely cross the river Danube. They managed to do it in January of the following year after the Danube had iced up. In the meantime, king Bela IV reorganized his army and armed it with the most effective weapons against the Mongols, with crossbows. Mongols were frightened by this weapon because shots with crossbows were much more dangerous and devastating for them. In February 1242, at the fort of Esztergom, the spiritual capital of medieval Hungary, Batu's and Subotai's army was heavily defeated with crossbows from the strong fort. In the meantime, the archbishop of Esztergom Cardinal Benedek's army eliminated the Mongol troops from the Verecke pass and was hunting for the adventuring Mongol warriors in the northern part of Hungary, causing severe casualties to them. That is why Batu ordered his warriors to leave the Carpathian basin at once. (2) Also to remember the everyday people of the middle of Hungary. Between the rivers, Tisza and Danube, the Mongols practically made the native population extinct. The native peasant built earth forts and fought to the death against the Mongol hordes, causing heavy losses to them. They were the anonym heroes of the Mongol campaigns. Their villages and cities, like the Gold City (Petermonostora), have been explored, and the findings are exhibited in Kecskemet. Archeological explorations were conducted in line with the building of the M5 highway between Szeged and Budapest in the 1980s. All these are evidence of the victory of the Hungarian Kingdom in the first Mongol invasion, too. (2) During the second Mongol campaign, the Polish-Hungarian Coalition was an example of the traditional Polish-Hungarian friendship, which dates back to the Scythian times, the Sarmatian-Scythian-Hunnic era. This national feeling still exists and blooms even today in both countries. (3) In the following century, the Hungarian king, I. Lajos the Great drove the final nail into the coffin of the Golden Horde at the rivers Dnepr and Don, and the coast of the Black Sea. The Hungarian Kingdom defeated the Mongol army three times in history and swept them out of Europe. All these made it possible for Russia to come true. Poland and Hungary saved Western Europe from devastation, not for the first and not for the last time in history. Nobody has given us thanks for this sacrifice.

[Восточный Ветер]

Монголы 200 г не кому не проигрывали, сейчас все стараются переписать историю под себя

[علي ياسر]

​@Восточный Ветер The kingdoms of India, the kingdoms of Egypt and Vietnam, my brother, but I defeated them

[xXdekuXx ?]

These what you say are largely non-factual, rather wishfull thinking.

[MEMER 12]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you find the number of Mongol casualties in Poland. What were your sources. Thank you, great video.

Museums.... I thinks fragments or records were there.... Try to search it

[rden dela cruz]

.... Also, there are mentions of historians here....

[MEMER 12]

@rden dela cruz K. Thanks

[Masada2]

This is the History that should be taught in school; make it interesting & they will listen, give them a love for history.

[frankibianchi]

It's about as legit as a high school-level textbook i guess

[David Blodgett]

Mr Roberts and Real Crusades History team, I really do like all the great content and great quality documentary videos. But can I request a video when you get the time? I would really appreciate a video on the symbology the Knights Templars used. A person I know said they used one symbol, but I see no reference to it online. Though I do see other symbols that are used that look more pagan in nature. I would really like to see the actual history of their symbology instead of all the conspiracy theories about their symbols leading to their wealth.

[Hot Stepper]

Ancient Egypt's Gods, were very understandable, they worshipped all they saw that created life, as well as what they saw that assisted life, for example, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris (the God of the dead, God of fertility, and God of resurrection) gave them the gift of ''barley'' one of their most important crops. A large temple was built to honour Osiris at Abydo. They would not only worship things they saw as life-giving, but also life preserving, and that led to them having some quite extraordinary Gods, like the Crocodile (Sobek). They believed that worshipping what could harm or even kill you, would spare you, should you encounter any Crocodiles, but more importantly, they believed that Sobek could protect the Pharaoh from dark magic. They dedicated half the Temple Kom Ombo In Aswan to the Crocodile, LOL. What we see looking through all of Ancient Egypt's 'Gods' is how their understanding improved over time, for example, their most worshipped God, and their most powerful God, was “Amun” (the king of the Gods). Only later, they realized and understood that the sun had a huge importance to man's survival. So they then took “Ra” (the sun God) and added It to “Amun”, creating the all-powerful God “Amun-Ra”. A large and very important temple was built at Thebes to honour Amun-Ra. We then see probably the most well-known shift In Ancient Egypt's Gods, when Tutankhamen's father, Akhenaten, understood that without the sun life would cease to exist. So Akhenaten abolished all the other Gods, replacing them all with the “Aten” (the sun Disk). It actually makes perfect sense to worship the sun. Opposed as to some deity of deception, greed, corruption, murder, and outright savagery.

[BurnedSpace]

a warrior archbishops armor was probably incredible to look at.

been watching and learning from this channel for years , always quality.

Thank you very much.

Again I am always learning something new with your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as always thank you

[adrian teodoreanu]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a great work. If the Mongols could conqueror Europe, they surely did. But their plans did not work for the mercy of God! It's better for the entire humanity having there in far Asia than in Europe...

[ALexo122]

Solid educated information. Thank you !!

[Marjorie Thomas]

So amazing. Thank you. I love history

[Ray Locke]

The Mongols ,when starving would cannibalise 1 in 10 of their own soldiers.

[frankibianchi]

No you don't

[HillBilly]

Excellent video. The cinematics was outstanding. Gripping, really. Thanks for the upload. This second comment is a sacrifice to the Algorithm. Cheers from Tennessee

[Big Thoughts]

They are using a mod in a game called Rome 2 total war. The mod I believe is called 1212 ad If you wanted to know the cinematics

[Melanin Farmer]

Also I love the story about the Mongol archer taking out the Polish sentry. I just imagine some General looking for his most skilled archer and sending him in like a god damned Navy Seal to snipe that guy out. So fkn cool.

[frankibianchi]

Meh, I could do that in a heartbeat nothing special

[Riddick Pal]

Thank you for this video, its very interesting.

[Matty18795]

I think foot archers would have been more effective than crossbowmen in an open battle. Crossbows would be much better used whilst defending a fortification.

[Alex Vault]

I come from Legnica, so I had to click the video when I saw the thumbnail :)

[Paul Daniels]

Are you going to do a follow up of the alliance between Mongols and Crusaders

[Man from Cave]

my great ancestor was supposedly one of the knights of Bela IV in the battle of Mohi

[Real Crusades History]

Fascinating!

[Man from Cave]

@Real Crusades History I don`t think so.From those times, about twenty families still live in our region and THAT is fascinating. My family is just one of them

[Melanin Farmer]

Thats awesome!

[Honest Matters]

Many brave deeds were done on that dark day.

[Jack_Tisson]

One good thing about the Mongols: at least you know your army is effective if you can fight them off I suppose.

[teo vu]

Vietnam did it three times in a row.

[Gospel truth]

Do you have videos on the battle during the biblical times?

[Olivur_]

nihow

[MattXIV]

Hello! Very interesting videos indeed! You also used very beuatiful music in the video. Are you able to tell me what are the titles of the tracks, please (because my shazam can not detect it itself). Thansk for help in advance.

[Mark Stuut]

The sheer number of horses needed

[MysTicBiGz]

More Mongols please

[Elias Solomou]

My curiosity has always been why didn't the west counter attack all the way to the Mongol homefronts when it was feasible. If successful one can only wonder what could have been

[Jimmy Chase]

The Mongol empire was massive I doubt without as many horses as the Mongols they could maintain a supply line or communication in the Mongol empire, also you play right into their tactics if you invade them as they will just harass you to death.

[Yue Fei]

Because the west army are the good & kind hearted guys..in the video it is already clearly said that plundering other's to supply its own army is strictly prohibited in the west unlike China..west never steal, loot,plunder others countrys land..all they did is just to protect & defend theirs own land

[jimeas popoloiv]

Regarding the catapults that the Mongols used against the Hungarians. Does anyone know how the Mongols transported them? Did they build them on the spot? Given that they were a riding nomadic people, I am amazed. Anyone able to answer?

[maligjokica]

Those units where chinise exclusivly. They used them in the bagdad seage.

[Real Crusades History]

They would've been carried during the campaign in their supply train. The Mongols traveled with a massive "tail," that is their supplies and support staff.

[Hiyuke La Vie]

​@Real Crusades History Yup, just like most armies People have this misconception that the Mongol army consisted of nothing but horse archers

[Gregory Forgach]

My last name is because of the battle of Mohi.

[General Kael]

I think the keys here were armor, be it the individual knight or a fortified city, and robbing the Mongols of their plunder.

[tianlong6]

Time to rebrand to "Real Medieval History", lol.

[M. Hasan Choudhury, M.D.]

Excellent review of the Mongol invasion of Europe. Fortifications and organized defenses worked against the Mongol horsemen who were more used to the plains of the Steps ! Denying them food and provisions stopped them. They had overstretched their resupply lines and logistics. Regards.

[GRolandDeschain]

I find it hard to believe mongols would overstretch their supply lines. They were masters of it.

[Misael Fraga]

But in many fortresses in Eurasia the Mongols would besiege many cities ambush any relief force. So I don't think just fortresses were enough.

[Vincent Randles]

What about the Germans? I can't believe the teutonic knights would not have been a major force to be reckoned with...

[Beck Sigizmund]

They swore loyalty to the Mongols cowardly declaring them as their masters

[frankibianchi]

Nah

[Robert DesVeaux]

I often wonder how Alexander the Great would defeat the Mongols; I think he would use 2 concepts: match what they do plus figure out an additional idea (I don’t know what it would be)

[Yue Fei]

Compared to the Mongol he will be called as Alexander the kiddo or Alex the joker

[Robert DesVeaux]

Lololololololololololol

[Mac Dre]

J I’m don’t think he could’ve

[john thompson]

😂😂😂 horses vs dudes on feet… go figure

[Łukasz Muszyński]

Hey you guys. Could u make more documents about central and eastern Europe history? Wars between Poland Kingdom and Holy Roman Empire of Germanic State, Hungary and Romania, Hhngary and Ottoman Empire, Lithuania, Ruthenians, Polishlithuania Commonwealth etc. Please

[Balazs Szazi]

The Mongols were probably the only conquerors that didn't necessarily ransom or ravish but definitely kill everyone. Hungary lost minimum 30% of her population and almost half of settlements and infrastructure.

[Jeff Dranetz]

The Mongol Empire seems more of a "protection" extortion racket than a true empire. Like when organized crime gets tribute from a business, on the threat that the business will be vandalized or burned, with the owner "roughed up". The Romans "romanized" their conquered territories. Enemy combatants enslaved. Roman veterans taking local wives. As in Gaul.

[Wolfgang Kranek]

Excellent.

[Boudica X]

Sweet justice at Ain Jalut. The Mongols fell for the same trick (fake retreat) they had pulled on so many unfortunate enemies.

[Ted Crilly]

How did they get on in Korea? Theres little in the way of Mongols Vs Korea content out there. I know they were stopped by India, Japan (typhoon) and Vietnam to a degree. The maps show Korea being taken, but didn't they experience some defeats there?

[Anomali Anomali]

Mongol need 8 invasion to make korea become vassal state, korea is close with mongolian heartland who can supply more fast & numered reinforcement. like mongol invasion to poland & hungary is only 50k troops vs 500k troops to conquer southern china

[Insaf ahmed]

Please translation in urdu

[Estb. XCIII]

[Sameh Hosam]

Is there a video about Amalric I and his campaigns to invade Egypt ?

[علي ياسر]

The Mongols defeated the Mamluks in India, but they failed and were defeated in 6 battles

[Sameh Hosam]

I meant Amalric I, king of Jerusalem

[Wa Sal]

I don't think it is true that the Arab conquest of Spain was originally intended as a raid. Can you please provide sources or reasoning for this claim?

[Al Kinny]

There was no Arab conquest of Spain There's the Arab conquest of different parts of Iberia They never conquered the northern kingdoms of Iberia and it was those kingdom's that would later merge to become Spain and Portugal

[علي ياسر]

​@Al Kinny There is no kingdom in northern Spain, the Romans and the Goths did not invade northern Spain because this region has nothing to do with mountains.

[MATHHEW TOMPKINS]

This is the Middle Ages my man.

[peter]

@MATHHEW TOMPKINS yes I Know was no Romania back then. or?

[MATHHEW TOMPKINS]

@peter there wasn't. So your comment is odd. What exactly are you trying to say?

[Csaba Elek]

First Vlahs were let into the Carpathian Basin one century later, together with German, and Slav people. Royal officers arranged the colonization of Transylvania (at that time Cumania), they were called kenéz (Hungarian), knyez (Romanian), Schultheiss (German), and lehota (Slav). Romanians appear in written history around the 16th century, before that only Vlahs were mentioned. What happened more with Romanians in 1859 - well, I have no idea, but the Mongol invasion took place more than 600 years earlier. During the realm of king Béla IV, the name of Transylvania was Cumania, the land of the Cumans. A significant proportion of them still lives in Hungary's Great Plain.

[Jimmy Chase]

@Csaba Elek I think he was referring to their ethnicity if that makes sense

[Martin Pospisil]

Have thought of doing a podcast?

[Real Crusades History]

Actually going forward I was thinking of just doing podcasts. I'm more interested in the idea of audio presentations without having to worry about visuals. What do you think?

[0anant0]

@Real Crusades History I honestly think the names of the kings, towns, rivers, troop movements, dates etc on the maps add a visual angle that makes it easier to comprehend the story. So I think the current video format would be better than audio only storytelling.

Most wonderful documentary coverage video about three attempts by Mongol invading currents of eastern European countries through Poland 🇵🇱 & Hungarian 🇭🇺 territories...while after 3rd attempting Mongolian forces Retreated to their original country's gradually... besides the deaths of their Great khan...Army leaders of Golden horde military realized that Christians ✝️ were Soldifieded their military attitudes & coordinated amongst themselves..for that they lost their Cohesion..while they laughed several Civil wars amongst major racists of them ( Turk,Turkmen & Mongol) ..Saljuk, black sheep, white sheep ,Tumerlay, Safawy & Ottomans...they published deaths, destructions, famines, plagued inside eastern Islamic world for several centuries

[Zeno]

Frederick the Seconds German Empire alone would have crushed the Mongols if they struggled with Poland and Hungary.

[Dancer MGL]

Actually according the history there were German nights those were contributing with the Pols those against the Mongols were lost! German nights were lost based on the facts!

[Indian cowpiss drinker]

lol cope pink

[Michael Smyth]

Why did the Mongols withdraw? They were starving in the fields of Hungary. Then Hungary went into Poland and smacked them again.

[Golden Khanate]

They literally conquered up to Austria in their first western expedition then conquered up to parts of Germany in their second fragmented total Empire as the Golden Horde

[Diogenes of Sinope]

Just read a book ffs

[Indian cowpiss drinker]

haha pinko cope

[Stefan Vella]

I HATE HIT AND RUN TACTICS. its not valor

[Big Thoughts]

You have to understand that it is common place on the steps. They have mobility and land to give. Valor is great but if you lose your family and your friends all die.

[SAMMICHES]

Neither is losing.

[Stefan Vella]

@SAMMICHES By losing it doesn't mean they lacked valor.

[Mike Young]

Every culture has done it especially if your numbers are smaller than your opponents winning is winning you may have to use the same tactics one day!

[MR T]

@Big Thoughts Mongol soldiers have competition to see how many one can kill in battle. The statistics is frightening. This happens in open battles fighting one by one is that not valor?

[Zna1omy]

They were actually black Africans traveling to Mongolia on pyramids.

[Golden Khanate]

They used some Russian soldiers in the Golden Horde as well as Georgians in the Ilkhanate

[علي ياسر]

​@Golden Khanate The Mongols numbered 60,000 soldiers in this war, which is not a large number

[Y2K Vaporwave]

am I the only one who doesn't like the Mongols? they've always made me mad ever since learning about them in high-school lol

[Hyperboreanbeliver]

i dont understand why people glorify these barbarians either

[Eli Nikolai]

@Hyperboreanbeliver cuz few have had their accomplishment in history

[MATHHEW TOMPKINS]

They were what they were. Getting mad about a people that were only powerful in the Middle Ages is just ..weird.

[Joe Rogan’s TRT shots]

Hulago raised Bhahgdad but spared every Church and Christian, true story

[MATHHEW TOMPKINS]

@Joe Rogan’s TRT shots actually no. The Nestorian Christians did win leniency but only AFTER Baghdad was taken. He didn't do it for love of Christians he was paid off. Also the cathedral in Baghdad was only built AFTER the sack of Baghdad. Also it's RAZED not RAISED. Two different words my friend.

[edon gashi]

The mongolians victorious because of the horse Archers speeding mobility will the Dudley effect of long-range project I like arrows it be funny if there were about 5000 to White man from the future in this time using Shields armour and swords made from alloy and titanium strong and light and for them to use Roman tactics like the studio you surely would have given a hard time to The Mongols and if you also combine the English longbow behind the formation of the distiller with Templars is cavalry in both sides of the formation he could have been deadly and very effective

[Caelan]

Well romans tried this against the persian empire and failed.

[Csaba Elek]

Hungary and Poland became Stalingrad to the Mongols.

[Golden Khanate]

This is the usual, go-to bread and butter cope from western Euro centricists. Notice how he upper cased the word "white" and lower cased Mongolians, tells a lot about him. you do realize European armies had regular shields and body shields to block the arrows as well as plate metal armor? Lol you think the Mongols just stayed on their horses firing arrows and took cities without hand-to-hand combat?

[edon gashi]

@Csaba Elek I agree with you I guess I did not see it that way

[edon gashi]

@Caelan yes I know but the difference is there weapon will be completely different that from the Romans what I meant implement from the Romans is there shield formation dest todo not the weapons not the armour since back in the Roman time you don't have any saddles for horse riding the Roman cavalry wasn't the best in combat it's served more of the reconnaissance and destruction purpose and they weren't a skilled as the Persians in Mountain combat most of the times tactics for battle formations there's more dependant on the soldiers skill like 300 Spartans I'm not saying the Romans word skilled they wore the discipline and Order under logistics system was nothing to smirk for their time in war anything can happen the tables can flip in seconds
