What if the Mongols Attacked Bohemia - Alternative History DOCUMENTARY

Video is Sponsored by Ridge Wallet. Get the best offer using our link - ridge.com/WW from now until December 22nd!
Wizards and Warriors starts a new animated alternative history documentary series focusing on the Mongol Invasion of Europe and asking What if the Mongols invaded Europe. In our scenario, Ogedei Khan doesn't die in 1241, which allows the Mongols to retain their unity and continue their incursions into Europe and Middle East. In 1245, the Mongols under the leadership of Batu Khan invade central Europe leading to the intense battles in medieval Bohemia. At the battle of Olomouc in 1246, the allied armies of the Holy Roman Empire attempted to stop the Mongol invasion ( • What if the Mongols At... ). The defeat here didn't stop the Mongols who were now full of wrath. And although the Europeans were now preparing a Crusade, this wrath will bring them to Bohemia and the siege of Prague will make things even worse. We at Kings and Generals hope that you will enjoy this video!

Its a small detail but I liked that Raymond of Toulouse was alluded to in the scene where Louis IX send his letter. IMO Raymond VII was really one of the now almost forgotten giant of era. Almost completely disinherited by the Albigensian Crusade and Lateran Council as a teenager with no military experience one would have expected him to meekly accept the crumbs that were promised to him if he accepted the edict of a Papacy at its peak, which had been recognized by pretty much everyone else in the Latin World. Instead he rose the Languedoc in revolt, proving to be a gifted commander who outgeneraled none other then Simon de Montfort and only accepting his ultimate defeat after literal decades of campaigns and political intrigue, as well as the full might of Paris and the Vatican and mistakes by some of his key allies, to finally make him accept the doom of his house and the takeover of his lands by the Capetians. And even then, he got to rule over much of his ancestor's holding for his lifetime... Historically he died just before the Seventh Crusade, more or less a broken man, but I could see him more or less recover the energy of his youth in light of the events of his timeline, and be tasked by Louis with organizing not just his lands but the whole of the Languedoc to war (Louis would know he is taking a big risk here but when necessity must...), with considering the lenient terms the French King gave the English after Taillebourg, maybe even promises to revise the terms of past treaties between the Count of Toulouse and the King of France in the latter's favor after all is said and done... The old warrior who had thought that his time in the spotlight is over but whom, in fact, still has the perform perhaps its most impressive deeds against an enemy he didn't know the very existence of a few years before, the man who was such a fear some enemy of crusaders ending as career playing a key role in a massive crusade, would be a good narrative device IMO...

Bows didn't work well against armoured knights. There are records from the crusades of firing thousands of arrows and not doing a thing. Even when they had to dismount horses and continue on foot...very few if any were killed by arrow fire.

[@perrytran9504]

@@johnirby8847 Those reports were only really a thing for the First Crusade (against the recently urbanized and lightly armed Seljuks who were different from the more well equipped Fatimids or later Arab states like the Ayyubids) and we know archers proved effective in the later ones. Heck, they still were able to rack up a fair number of casualties even in the First Crusade (especially if you count the People's Crusade which still featured knights, just not to the very high proportion of the Prince's Crusade.) Besides, modern tests routinely show that anything short of plate armor (which would not be developed for another century+) is only moderately effective against arrows at best, particularly if you don't first block them with shields (which is not always possible.) Mail with thin padding as common in the Crusades would have okay protection against penetration but still do little to protect against the blunt impact, which adds up very quickly in more realistic scenarios. An unbiased analysis of these accounts simply does not support the idea of bows being ineffective against knights as a blanket statement.

I get the feeling the Mongols will catch wind of the new Holy Roman Emperor being elected and try to get Frederick on their side, "reinstating" him as a puppet ruler if they are victorious over the Crusaders. Its unlikely to work, but depending how the upcoming campaigns proceed Frederick either has to fight the Mongols to regain his lands after the Crusaders are defeated, or still fight the Crusaders after they win now that his lands are claimed by a new Holy Roman Emperor. Being the crafty politician he was, Frederick would probably at least avoid fighting either side as they enter the HRE until they wear each other down or give him a good enough offer to ally.

[@FriezaReturns00001]

@@perrytran9504 Yeah I had responded about this in question since Ezzolino basically betrayed Rome and in it's current state; the Mongols still have captives/converts as leverage from the many divided Princes and the vulnerable Palpacy. Ontop of the fact that the year 1250 is approaching soon so.. where would Fernando III come into play by this point? His death is pretty soonish by at least a few more years i.e. 1252 unless they pull a 180 and he managed to survive up til the Rome sacking and come in to intervene with the Crusade.

I doubt that Fredrick the II would stand idly even at the height of the conflict between empire and the church. If anything, i can imagine a sicilian with a substantial saracen contingent, and italian-german army would join the crusaders to fight against the heathen. Perhaps joining forces against the mongols could mean the beginning of a reconciliation in the Hre. He was a diplomat, he spoke greek and arabic and negotiated the access to pilgrims to jerusalem with the fatimid caliph, without having to fight a single battle. However he was a staunch belier in imperial authorithy (and the supremacy of the empire over the church, which simply was the reason of the current civil war in the empire), and would react strongly against any outside attack against the subjects of the empire.

But someone always bitches out and everyone gets wrecked. Hell even during the crusades this always happened.

[@thfkmnIII]

Realistically, europe can't fare any better than asia (smaller armies, less wealthy, smaller in size) with the sheer distance between mongolia and europe being their only advantage. Mongols were usually able to find ppl they could bribe in all their other campaigns, so squabbling petty kings wouldnt be a problem

[@perrytran9504]

@@thfkmnIII The sheer distance is admittedly a big equalizing force as it's slower to reinforce the Mongol campaign. Even if mainland Europe falls there's essentially zero chance the Mongols could take the British Isles unless you count a big timeskip where they really are just the supervisors of an invasion headed by European vassals. But you are right the unity of the HRE especially is a weakness. People talk about the density of castles being enough of an obstacle to waste their time, but individually they would not be a big deterrent and that can plausibly get many to surrender without a fight. I don't think the average obscure lord is going to prefer throwing away his garrison's lives against a much bigger army when he can just surrender and continue life as normal. People were not nearly as collective in their thinking back then and this exact thing happened several times in other Medieval campaigns.

Holy shit this feels so real. I'm literally cheering on the crusaders as though this is something that really happened! Please make more alternate history videos like these! They bring such amazing insight to history!

[@willisread6624]

Ah, this was great to see. You guys did such an awesome job! Love it. Can't wait to see more

[@jean-luclorusso]

Would love a what if series on if Eastern Rome won Manzikert or some such.

[@YuuSHiiiN]

Glory to Tengri, Lord of the Eternal Blue Sky!

[@military0f21stcentury2]

sons of daughters of Tengri!

[@thecrusaderhistorian9820]

Excellent video! Every bit of it is a wonderful story and it feels so real! Love the response the defenders gave to te Mongols in terms of the dead envoy. I must say the ending gave me chills. I am looking forward to the next episode!

[@colterwebb6382]

this is a really fun series. i love alt history and follow several such channels. however the detail and production quality of wizards and warriors/kings and generals remains unmatched. cant wait for the next installment

[@Griffinattack]

I love this detailed alternative history, I pray for more scenarios in the future

[@neschopak]

Just a minor detail - the Vltava river flows the oposite direction :) Otherwise you did awesome job. Just love it!

[@resileaf9501]

I love love love this series. It's just as believable as if it was real history and I find myself wondering if the Mongols truly did not invade and conquer these lands.

[@mods1133]

Really enjoyed this!! Alt history is a topic that doesn't get enough coverage, because a lot of stories aren't that good. This was a good one. 👍👍

[@fakeskyler2305]

Can't wait for Part 3!!!!!!

[@razvanrotundu925]

Congratulations for these two episodes. It is one of the best alternate histories I have seen. I hope at the end we will see your take on the aftermath of this invasion and that you will produce more alternate histories. Happy holidays!

[@pimp22fly]

This is the best alternate history on KZbin right now. Absolutely brilliant guys!

[@boarfaceswinejaw4516]

as shown with the real life second mongolian invasion, they really werent an invincible horde contrary to what people often think.

[@stefthorman8548]

They were aready collapsing at that point, but in their first invasion, they killed an bunch of European armys.

[@hoodedwizard4695]

another amazing video! keep them coming! also I would love to see a video about the world of the heroes of might and magic 6 wars, its a good game with a good plot.

[@Daruwind]

[@yermekzimanov8758]

Thank you for this great job! Hope you continue on shedding unbiased light on this rarely discussed yet crucial parts of world history! Miluju Prahu. Pozdrav z Qazaqstanu!

[@dovdorith8148]

Is there already a next video on this, I just cant wait! This is so well done!!

[@Real7419]

This series is very fun, amazing content

[@nervachadikus]

Next episode: epic showdown between Wenceslaus and Batu Episode after that: Fred the Antichrist orders the murder Wenceslaus before he himself is killed or just dies cuz fuck this life

[@perrytran9504]

Next episode is when Frederick ominously watches the showdown between Wenceslaus/Louis and Batu to see who he should attack first once both sides are worn down. Plot twist if the Mongols convince him to support them in exchange for restoring him to the throne as a vassal.

[@nervachadikus]

@@perrytran9504 Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they went with Frederick saying "Fuck the HRE, I'm going to Sicily", considering that's basically what he did in our timeline as he neared the end of his life.

[@andrewgrasham4604]

Love W+W channel, even more than Kings and Generals!! Have y'all ever thought about covering the Wheel of Time books? Massive amounts of content and ive never seen a youtube group as well put together as yours cover the subject

[@shellshell942]

This was my first video from this channel, I usually watch Kings and General's. I loved it, it was so interesting to think what might have been. These must take so long to come up with, well done, fantastic narration.

[@FilipMoncrief]

How exactly did the defenders suffer of hunger when the supply lines were open?:D also gate being open by 12 guys is some high fantasy shit

[@someone_somewhere_from........]

Great video and channel keep it up (one minor request if you will make more alternate history videos)

[@dominicperez3777]

This is wild! We need to see what happens next!

[@spladam3845]

Fantastic video, it was very fascinating how you saw this going down, well done.

[@krimzonstriker7534]

Woot, time for some Deus Veult! And still hoping for a French victory at Trafalgar so that we can finally get Napoleon's invasion of Great Britain myself, kind of want to get back to the gunpowder era for the next series 😉

[@itsmike2736]

And thus, for God and Empire they marched for they now know that the fate of Europe is on their hands

[@grimkupid8478]

Harry Turtledove writes some really great alternate history,

[@carlosmiguel8347]

Amazing videos, both parts, you really make this alt-history look as massive and climactic as Operation Barbarrosa

[@olesmokey3023]

I love you guys, you always bring a smile to my face and have a way of keeping’s things perpetually interesting, thank you!

[@MadnessTW]

It's like End Times, but actually well-written! Nice!

[@andrewdiaz3529]

18:50 I was waiting for it as soon as the body boats first started floating

[@gedgar]

THIS IS AMAZING! KEEP THIS SERIES GOING !!!

[@gearlordgeneration6673]

That is so damn good. Keep doing those!!!! Sooo good

[@monsG165]

Keep it up! Amazing series

[@vickytaspartan]

What a wonderful job! 👏👏👏 The narrative was on point; from the beginning to the end I was on the edge of my sit, thinking what would happen next. Hugs from Mexico!

[@ElBandito]

Awesome stuff!

[@markusskram4181]

Great video !

[@imperator7828]
