This channel give me so many interesting facts I talk about at parties even when no one cares but me.

"You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war"

"Whoa pow" is the most perfect name for a bomb flung from a catapult.

The history major part of my brain

Ancient Chinese military according to Western media : flashy martial arts using beautifully crafted weapons

I feel like we need a sequel to this to see how gunpowder continued developing over the centuries and made its way from cannons into muskets, or how differently gunpowder technology developed across the world in the centuries after the Mongol invasions

It also appears that the "Pax Mongolia" also allowed for the diffusion of other technologies known to the Chinese including the Blast furnace, Canal lock and Printing to Europe between the 13th and 15th Centuries

Speaking of Fire Lances,they were like flamethrowers at home...

This is fascinating! I didn't imagine how many gunpowder weapons were used in that time period.

"Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" by Jack Weathorford goes into some detail about gunpowder use by Mongols during their conquest of the west.

The Mongols not bringing much gunpowder for their conquests on Europe is ironic, given what would come centuries later.

There's nothing more terrifying than a Mongol warrior with an AK-47

I hope there's going to be a video on the Jin-Song war, the first war that featured gunpowder weapons, and a war that gave the Mongols their chance in China.

Imagine how far the Mongol would have reached if they discovered and mass produced cannons first.

Europe after seeing a black powder that can obliterate an army in seconds

We've seen firsthand the destruction of a Mongol hand cannon thing. Remember to dodge or interrupt with the Moon stance when a brute takes aim.

Nothing makes you more happy than a kings and general video on mongols

Judging the volumes of Mongol contents on this channel, we can attest their history is fascinating!
