@NickHurr-ss3po Timur is the largest Islamic conquest. The other Islamic casualty is too small to be put in category of devastating.

[@Chiyenworkout]

@NickHurr-ss3po Islamic conquest 7-8th century is more like multiple series of war. I think it's not worth enough to be put as most devastating. Unlike Timurid that happen in short time, that to worth to be categorize as single event. Timurlane is the largest Islamic invasion.

Wonder how devastating the Warring States period (Qin's wars of unification) was (475 BC-221 BC). Google says around 1.5 mil but I think those are fake stats tbh. My knowledge about it isn't so vast, but knowing those chinese mfs they must have been living in cities of millions with the greatest technology at their time. I mean it's hard to record every single battle, but if things like the Battle of Changping is true, where they buried alive 400k + people those mf easily killed 50 million in that period and btw Kingdom is a goated manga

[@danix4883]

Crusades weren’t even about religion, it was mostly about the Byzantines needing help to beat the Seljuks and also nobles who didn’t inherit anything wanting land and riches

[@traskiii]

@ I mean it sort of was, you’re right partially. It was based on saving the Byzantine empires land, but the pope and emperor Alexandrios used Christianity and all sins being forgiven and a spot in heaven to the peasants and lower classed fighters

[@jamesschaller753]

@@danix4883 The Seljuk Turks' attacks on the Byzantine Empire in the 11th century were influenced by a combination of factors: Expansionist Policies: The Seljuk Turks were motivated by a desire for territorial expansion. As they migrated into the region, they sought to conquer new lands, including parts of the Byzantine Empire. Weakness of Byzantium: The Byzantine Empire was experiencing internal strife, including political instability and economic difficulties. This weakened the empire's ability to defend its borders effectively, making it more vulnerable to external attacks. Religious Motivation: The Seljuks were motivated by Islamic expansionism. The conquest of Byzantine territories was seen as a way to spread Islam and weaken Christian influence in the region. Battle of Manzikert (1071): The pivotal battle between the Seljuks and Byzantines occurred in 1071. The Seljuks, led by Alp Arslan, defeated the Byzantine army, leading to significant territorial losses for Byzantium in Anatolia. This battle marked a turning point, facilitating further Seljuk incursions. Cultural and Ethnic Tensions: The region was ethnically diverse, with various groups coexisting. The Seljuks, as a Turkic people, aimed to establish dominance over the predominantly Greek-speaking and Christian Byzantine population. Pressure from Other Groups: The Seljuks often faced pressure from other groups, such as the Fatimid Caliphate in Egypt and the Byzantines themselves. Conquering Byzantine lands allowed them to consolidate power and resources.

Some wars are missing which has devastating effect and also pretty high death tolls. Napoleonic Wars - After the death of Louis XVI of France thru the execution in the hands of the Thermidorians, France was still embroiled with political turmoil internally till Napoleon seized power in 1799. From there, Napoleon picked up the pieces of the French Revolutionary War after declaring himself emperor in 1801 or 1802 and took back Switzerland under the Helveti Republic name and kept going towards modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands. By 1803, the British started to get panicky and launched a war declaration towards Napoleon to stop him. Britain would also later on finance and eventually ally with almost all of continental Europe to those that would oppose Napoleon with the likes of Austria, Prussia, Sweden, Spanish rebels and even Russia. Napoleon would see major victories across the entirety of continental Europe with his biggest defeats being his failure to invade Russia entirely and the Peninsula War which was his attempt to force a total subjugation of the Iberia (Spain) into the French realm of influence. Estimated death toll to all sides combined is at an estimate of 6-8 million people and had an everlasting effect of geopolitical landscape as the war forced many nations to go with a constitutional monarchy instead of an autocratic rule and also, the Napoleonic Code that Napoleon wrote to keep his other states that he took during the entire course of the war would become the fundamental basis for many other nation's laws later on after the war. Sengoku Jidai - The warring states period of Japan, Sengoku Jidai, was one of the most chaotic war that Japan has ever seen. During the Muromachi period which predates the Sengoku period, Japan was ruled by the emperor but he was just a puppet that's being pulled along by the shogun. Due to the illness and the internal chaos for the heir of the then-sitting shogun, regional daimyos who had faced oppression started to amass their own forces for future conflicts and they started to vie for each other's land. However, one small daimyo, Oda Nobunaga had a great idea to charge his forces towards Kyoto, the then-capital, to take the emperor into his hands and declare himself the new daimyo then unify the lands once again under him. Soon, other daimyos also caught on and tried to copy him and some even pushed for his officers to betray Nobunaga which, one, Akechi Mitsuhiude, eventually did who would ambush, coup and kill Nobunaga at Honno-ji in Kyoto. That turned the whole plot upside down as now more alliances are being built to stabilizes the lands between the factions who wanna solidify the shogunate's powers, those who wanted to unify the lands and help the emperor be the main seat again and those individuals who just wanted to control their own lands. One of Nobunaga's loyal subject, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would unify the lands for the 1st time after Nobunaga's death and would be the shogun. However, he made a fatal mistake by launching 2 separate invasions to Korea with the Imjin War. This would be a total disastrous defeat twice in a row and soon, he fell sick and due to again another heir apparent crisis once he died, the nation split again but this time, instead of being totally fractured, there's two faction. One supporting another of Nobunaga's old retinue, Tokugawa Iaeyasu who wants to unify the lands under his name and the other, also an old Nobunaga commander, Ishida Mitsunari who wanted to unify the lands under the codes that Nobunaga and Hideyoshi has set. It culminated to the Battle of Sekigahara which resulted in a total victory for Tokugawa Iaeyasu's faction and subsequently, he would unify the lands and form the Tokugawa Shogunate who would rule Japan with the emperor still being a puppet till the Bakumatsu period in the 1800s and the Boshin War from 1868-1869 which saw the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the rise of imperial control again under Emperor Meiji with the Meiji Restoration. No exact death toll was ever recorded for the whole timeline of the Sengoku Jidai but estimates were about 2-6 million total deaths on all sides which includes the Imjin War (For the Imjin War, I'm only counting the death toll on the Japanese side of stuff) under Hideyoshi.

Well, it is actually a very good video but I would like to clarify certain things in reference to the 4 wars in which Spain participated in this video. The reconquest is not a single war but a period of wars where kingdoms were created and destroyed, both Christian and Muslim, where everyone fought for supremacy. As for the conquests of Mexico and Peru, the death estimates are too high, 10 million dead in each is an exaggeration since those figures would mean 50% of the population of the native empires and the DNA data of the current populations indicate that the miscegenation was very extensive, something totally impossible if so many had died. Millions died, that's true, but the majority died from disease on both sides. The abuse of the Spanish towards the natives was a minority since the laws of Burgos were established to protect the indigenous people, it was forbidden to enslave them since they were considered subjects of the crown at the same level as the peninsulars, the crown instigated miscegenation and they were not colonies but viceroyalties with the same laws, congresses, universities, churches and courts, they were not colonies but part of Spain itself. As for the 30 years war, at first it was Catholics vs Protestants, however France, which was Catholic, fought for the Protestants only to harm Spain, which was the power of the moment, Spain fought for 30 years uninterruptedly with very few allies

[@ishrendon6435]

Spain conquest of the americas was absolutely brutal

[@ishrendon6435]

Most historians agree spain was responsible for much indigenous deaths lers not forget there was 50 million plus natives and spanirds brought diseases and warfare to the population killing more than 10 million !!!!!
