Extra credit history good job so far on the Genghis Khan series he is one of the most fascinating figures in history. But I hate to be that guy, no matter how great he was this campaign would lead to the deaths of somewhere between 30 to 50 million people.... To put that in perspective that would be around 7 to 10% of the world's population at the time. Not trying to be negative Nancy but all the good that he did came at a tremendous human cost and we should never forget that.

And Calling "Beijing" by its real name at the time. Not even BBC documentaries gave off these details. Honestly good work you guys. These kingdoms constantly plotted against each other, much to the benefit of Genghis Khan.

Chinese population is actually quite diverse historically. Number of ethnic groups got assimilated into China (modern terminology "Han") either willingly or through conquest. A number of dynasties were started by non-Han attempting to emulate Confucian culture of the Central Plain. Also a number of ethnic groups assimilated because they conquered some Chinese dynasty and became the opulent ruling class. Just that in the past few centuries, Han got subjugated by foreign conquerors that basically treated everyone the same for few centuries, so everyone got mixed together.

@Timothy McLean: Canada and the United States are allied. As are, strictly speaking, France and a number of other nations. As are South Korea and the United States. If any of those nations turn around and show up at the leader of the other nation with a random ass messenger who has been told to impolitely demand that they begin paying a tithe to that other nation, I guarantee you strong words are going back, and that some degree of national strain -will- occur. Especially if it's done loudly. About 100 years ago, such an action might have resulted in territorial disputes beginning. A mere fifty years before that, it could have turned -very- swiftly into a war. That's not to say that such a move as going to war isn't crude, overly violent, and perhaps a touch of an overreaction, as there are dozens, hundreds, possibly even thousands dying for the simple act of an idiot lord, but Ghenghis Khan's resources at the time, and his life experience, did apparently lead him to act in such a manner. And, to be honest, I've acted in similar manners in games when I've had a vassalization demanded upon me by a force that I believe to be my personal equal or inferior amongst AIs. "We have nonaggression and trade and you're demanding I serve you? Hmmph. Well...maybe I can use your land better then you."

The thing is that Mongolian cavalry originated from nomads and were built for mobility. They didn’t need supply lines because they never used supply lines as nomads, they could move around in winter because they had to do that back home, and their horses didn’t need as much food. The result is that the Mongolian Empire had an army that couldn’t be hampered by resource shortages or bad weather.

Honestly, what a legend.

"Orders were composed in rhyme," I think we just discovered a new game mechanics.

I love the images you use, they have such character! But some important details were glossed over in the campaign against the Jurchen: First, you list them as the Jurchen Dynasty. They were the Jin Dynasty, but Jurchen was the tribe that made up the rulers. Sometimes they're called the Jurchen Jin to differentiate from the earlier Jin Dynasty but don't tend to be called 'the Jurchen Dynasty.' That's more semantics than anything though. You mention the Mongols came in as liberators, but don't quite provide the context. The Jin Dynasty had three main ethnic groups who played significant roles in this period: ethnic Han Chinese, Khitans and the Jurchen. After the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in 907, the Khitans (related to the Mongols) established an empire, the Liao Dynasty, on the steppe and in Northern China. They ruled until the early 1100s when the Jurchen conquered them. Some Khitans fled west to form the Kara-Khitai Khanate (which Kuchlug usurped control in) while the remainder stayed in China but under Jurchen control. The Khitans and Chinese were excluded from government positions or high military rank by the Jurchen, BUT! the Khitans made up a significant portion of the Jin military, and resented the Jin. When Chinggis Khan invaded in 1211, there had actually been a Khitan uprising a few years before and his invasion led to another one. Distracted by the Mongol attack the Jin were unable to crush the uprising, which led to spread to a consider amount of territory in Manchuria and declared its independence. While it is debated over to what extent Chinggis Khan played a direct role in the early part of the uprising, he certainly encouraged it, sending armies there to help the Khitans maintain their revolt and even recognized this new state as a new 'Liao Empire.' So, Chinggis had come to liberate the Khitans, not the Jurchen (although this new Liao state was a vassal of the Mongols rather than actually independent.) Considerable amounts of Chinese and Khitans defected to the Mongols in this period, enough that by 1213 there were entire Chinese and Khitan armies fighting the Jin on behalf of the Mongols. It was also form these defectors that the Mongols would gain catapults and other siege equipment, as entire contingents of engineers would willingly defect to the Mongols. It is important to note the Chinese concept of the 'Mandate of Heaven' for its dynasties. A dynasty which earned the support of heaven would defeat its enemies and flourish, but this support could be rescinded. After significant Mongol military victories over the Jin from 1211 onwards, after years of famine and flooding in the Jin Empire, it must have appeared to many that the Jurchen had lost the Mandate of Heaven, and Chinggis Khan now had its support. Thus to join the Mongols was not as much a betrayal of the Jin as it was simply a recognition of the inevitable.

That’s an understatement, considering the Kwarhezmid empire was literally ERASED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

2:18 Has one of the best scenes in this episode. That one soldier is just like “OH SHIT!”

I'd actually really like to see a series on the Song Dynasty. It's an often overlooked period of Chinese history but it was a truly fascinating time for China where a lot of its reputation as "the place that invented everything" now comes from.

Stop killing the envoys for the love of god!!!

There is barely anything that sounds so stupid as "pissing off Genghis Khan big time".

Can you do Alexander the Great?

I love all the Extra History but there's something extra wonderful about this Ghengis Khan series. Thank you so much, team!

Of Note, The Mongol Empire wouldn't finish conquering the Jurchen (Jin) Empire until 1234. Taking a total of 23 years after the start of the invasion under Chingghis (Genghis) Khan. It wouldn't be until his son, Ogedei became Khan and finished taking over the Jin. The Tangut Empire, or Xi Xia Empire, eventually would submit to Chingghis Khan, and were rolled, incorporated, into the Empire. Which is important because they promised their support to Chingghis and other tribute, and military support. But they will eventually turn on Chingghis and deny him support causing him to invade again. The Uyghur Empire after killing Kushlug would be rolled into, incorporated into, the Mongol Empire. Also the Trade Caravan that Chingghis Khan sent to the Khwarezm Empire wasn't murdered by the local governor who thought that the caravan were spies. The Emissaries that Chinggish Khan sent to the Shah were muslims and did demand repayment for the goods and men. These Emissaries were muslim, and the Shah was also Muslim, and shaved the beards of the Emissaries that he sent back to Chingghis khan.

Hooo boy. I remember this part of the story. That is the one episode that cemented Genghis Khan as one of the most bloodthirsty conqueror in our history. The thing is, I can't entirely blame him, even if his reaction is... a tad bit overreaction.

The Dothrakis were based on the Mongols especially Vaes Dothrak and the rule of not spilling blood.

This channel has taught me much. Before watching this season, all I knew of Genghis Khan was that he led the huge attack on pretty much half of the world. Now, I know much of how he came to power and how he was able to do what he did. To everyone that works at Extra Credits, thank you so much!

okay I'm so hooked now! thanks for making this~ I recall myself being so pathetically sleepy throughout history lessons that I find it miraculous that I was at all able to pass the subject in my school days~ this channel rocks!

I really wish that Paradox Interactive had made a EU4 dlc that implemented some cool mechanics for the Khanates so we can bring back the great empire

Genghis Khan really waved his fists and overthrew the Jurchen Jin dynasty. The same nation that swallowed half of the Song Dynasty and captured 2 emperors. Also, please, a series on the Song-Jin wars?🥺

I just LOVE this series. Genghis Khan was always one of my favourite heroes, and I really love your series on him. Keep up the awesome work!

I did pretty good eh?

Man, this is quickly becoming my favorite Extra History!

Big fat thumbs up to this channel

I was kind of hoping they would expand more upon the conquests of Ghengis and have about 20 or so on the expansion of the empire. this episode does seem sort of rushed. That might just be the fact that I've read the Conqueror series talking. All the episodes so far basically consist of book 1. This episode is the entire of book 2, which is about the same length.
