    I do posts & consulting on Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya etc): As with the prior "Every Empire" vids where Possible History pinned my comments, here's more empires from the Americas (8 Deer's Mixtec Empire, the Purepecha Empire, the Mayapan League, and Chimor) that didn't make it into the videos, plus some extra Aztec info! If you read my now-pinned comments on the last two videos in the series (Go check them out if not!), a lot of the info there is more archeological then historical (the Maya kingdoms I mentioned do have a lot of surviving writing, but I focused on the lesser known stuff!😅) but there's MUCH more historical written records for all the states I explain below! 8 DEER'S MIXTEC EMPIRE: Previously, I mentioned how Monte Alban was THE major Pereclassic and Classic center in Oaxaca, heading a large kingdom or small empire, even if there were potentially some smaller competing Zapotec, Mixtec etc states nearby; but that Monte Alban declined around 600-700AD, and Mixtec groups begin to take over it and other key Zapotec centers like Mitla. While Zapotec inscriptions are undeciphered and they left us no paper books, there are (at least) 8 surviving Mixtec books give us a relatively detailed look at Oaxaca politics from ~800-1200 AD. There are dozens of major kings, queens and dynastic kingdoms allying and backstabbing each other here (we absolutely need Mesoamerican political dramas!) but 8 Deer Jaguar Claw is our main player: 8 deer was born in 1063, the son of a high priest in the Mixtec city of Tilantongo. He ends up fighting as a general for another city, Jaltepec, and eventually gets the blessings of an Oracle (who arrange political marriages, sanction wars, etc in Oaxaca) to conquer some coastal Chatino towns, allegedly founding the city of Tututepec there, but ends up returning to Tilantongo and taking the throne when it's king dies childless. Potentially using the tropical goods obtained his Chatino conquests, 8 Deer secures an alliance with 4 Jaguar, and important official in Cholula (a city in Central Mexico with major political and religious influence, think like Mecca). With now further political backing, 8 Deer goes on a spree conquering almost 100 cities over the next 18 years across much of the Mixteca Alta region, and with Tututepec a key player in the Mixteca Costa, gives 8 Deer influence over 2 of the 3 Mixtec subregions. Notably, around 1101-1103, 8 Deer killed 11 Wind, king of "The Bundle of Red and White" (possibly Huachino), a captial of a major Mixtec dyansty with dominion over Tilantongo, as well as 11 winds wife 6 Monkey (herself a shrewd political figure and conqueror, who was heir to not just the Huachino but also Jaltepec's dynasty), and their entire extended family. The only survivor was a boy, 4 Wind, who grew up to rally other Mixtec states against 8 deer and had him killed in 1115. Keep in mind the details above do differ between the surviving books (compare what I said to maskoftheflowerprince's wordpress post on 6 Monkey), and archeology disputes some details (Tututepec may have already been a city before 8 deer; some researchers argue his late 11th century conquests sprees is also a misreading). Also, as typical in Mesoamerica, 8 deer probably did not directly govern all of his conquests (apparently he never returned to Tututepec after being crowned at Tilantongo). After after the empire fractures, Tututepec actually grew in the aftermath to become it's own sizable kingdom, survived Aztec aggression as one of it's largest unconquered enclaves, only falling when the Zapotec kingdom of Tehuantepec allied with Conquistadors to take it out. EXTRA AZTEC INFO: And that segues to the Aztec Empire: Around 1200AD migrations of various Nahuatl speaking Chichimec nomads from above Mesoamerica (likely the Bajio region of Northwestern Mexico) moved down into Central Mexico (especially in and around the Valley of Mexico) integrating into or founding their own cities. The Mexica are among the latest of these groups, and go from place to place getting rejected and then finally build their city of Tenochtitlan on a swampy island after an omen in 1325. They become subjects of Azcapotzalco, the most powerful city in the Valley, and help it in conquests, particularly as Azcapotzalco and another city, Texcoco fight over political-religious titles claiming supreme Toltec (seen as the founders of high culture, see comment on the last vid) or Chichimec authority. Texcoco is eventually conquered and is given as a subject to the Mexica, which preforms political marriages with it, other cities, and a princess given from Azcapotzalco. After Tezozomoc, the then king of Azcapotzalco dies, one of his two heirs, Maxtla assassinates the other, as well as Chimalpopoca in Tenochtitlan, a succession threat due to his royal Azcapotzalco mother. Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan (another city in the valley) all join forces and overthrow Azcapotzalco in 1428, and subsequently coordinate in conquests and taxes, becoming the "Aztec Empire" The Aztec Empire continues to expand (Tenochtitlan eventually the de-facto capital among the 3, or was always so) til Spanish contact, swallowing up most of Central Mexico, Oaxaca/Gurrero, the Gulf Coast and a bit of Chiapas: Stuff I've gone over like Monte Alban, 8 Deer, Tikal and Calakmul, Teotihuacan, and Tula all controlled significant areas relative to Mesoamerica. But the Aztec Empire truly encompassed like 1/4-1/3 of the whole region, as big as the ambitious models of Teotihuacan or Tula dominion I cautioned against, or medium-large European countries, with ~500 subject states, each a few to a few dozen cities/towns. However, again, that does not mean the Mexica directly managed it's whole empire: Contrary the popular idea that the Mexica were oppressive and that's why Cortes got allies, the Aztec Empire, like most large Mesoamerican states, weren't hands-on-imperalistic. Exactly how hands off or hands on they were varies, but the Aztec Empire, despite it's size, was arguably one of the more hands off ones: The Mexica (generally) left kings, laws, customs, etc in place when they conquered a state, and just collected taxes, leaving subjects with their own interests, identity and decisionmaking; though the Mexica also certainly flexed their military power and rich tax/trade network to court political marriages and voluntary vassals. (This hands off system leaving states effectively independent enabled opportunistic side switching, that's mostly why Cortes got allies, Tlaxcala aside). There is so much more I could say about the Aztec (even just defining that term vs Mexica vs Nahua etc could be an essay)there's much more surviving info then people realize, down to the specific reign of different kings and military campaigns, surviving Nahuatl poetry, etc. But the last thing I'll say before moving on is that Tenochtitlan is one of the coolest cities in human history (much like Teotihuacan before it), being built out of a grid of artificial islands (also acting as hydroponic farms) with canals running between them, with ~200,000 denizens, as populated as the largest in Europe, and with hundreds of temples, palaces, botanical garden and zoo compounds, etc. Scott and Stuart Gentling's paintings will give good visualizations, It's basically Venice meets the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Though cool royal palace-botanical garden estates were common in other Nahua sites. (EX Texcotzinco had 5 mile long, 150 foot tall aqueduct, terraced gardens with different sections to emulate different ecosystems, etc). THE PUREPECHA EMPIRE: But the Aztec were not unrivaled: to their west in what's now Michoacan, the Purepecha Empire was not merely a tough to swallow holdout like Tututepec or Tlaxcala, but was true existential threat to the Aztec. It had similar origins, with migrants arriving in a valley lake basin, a triple alliance of city-states coming to power, being Parzcuaro, Ihuatzio, and Tzintzuntzan. However, in the 1450s, Tzitzipandáquare takes over, possibly via a coup, turns Tzintzuntzan into a formal capital and institutes hands on imperial rule, with governors he directly installs who he fully administers (a rarity in Mesoamerica), alongside an expansion push, which leads the Purepecha and Aztec Empires having a spat over the Toluca valley which escalates into a large scale Aztec invasion... which the Purepecha Empire absolutely crushes, giving the Aztec their only real large scale military defeat. The Aztec-Purepecha border militarizes, with forts being built, towns being set up as spying outposts, etc. The two continue to have skirmishes, but it largely becomes a Cold War. By the time the Spanish, Tlaxcalteca and Aztec armies arrive at the Purepecha's doorstep following the Siege of Tenochtitlan, Tangaxuan II only just reclaimed power after smallpox killed his father and caused a succession dispute, so he decides to submit to the Spanish rather then fight back, though the Spanish would later send Nuno de Guzman to ransack all over West Mexico when they find out Tangaxuan II continued to collect taxes for himself rather then just the Spanish crown. The Purepecha Empire is THE state I've gone over which truly deserves to be in the videos the most: As I said, it had a true imperial model, and was also the third largest state in the Americas at the time of Spanish contact after the Inca and Aztec, a size tier above Monte Alban etc if still one below the Aztec. Purepecha is unrelated to other Mesoamerican languages, by extension they also have many unique cultural traits, deities, etc. Michoacan was also Mesoamerica's largest center of copper and bronze production, though even for them copper/bronze was mostly used for ceremonial goods rather then tools/weapons (though they, and other Mesoamericans, did use some metal tool and weapons, though how much is a subject of some debate) TO BE CONTINUED IN A REPLY BELOW!s origins in m

    CONTINUED FROM ABOVE: THE LEAGUE OF MAYAPAN While the so called "Classic Maya Collapse" did lead to the decline of a lot of the major cities in the Central and Southern Maya lowlands between 750-1000AD, many Maya cities to the North actually grew (though non reached the size of the largest Classic Maya centers), like Uxmal and Chichen Itza (itself a major political center and maybe the head of a large kingdom? Not quite informed on it though). Mayapan was one of these large northern Maya cities during the Postclassic period, and eventually grew to become the head of large league of allied and subject Maya states, covering large portion of the northern half Yucatán Peninsula and a bit beyond (but not the ENTIRE Peninsula like Wikipedia shows). This is the closest thing we ever get to a true "Maya Empire", and would have rivaled the Purepecha Empire in size. The political specifics escape me, as does the in depth information about the history of the alliance, but I know it deals with conflicts, marriages, etc primarily between Cocom and Xiu Maya dynasties with the Itza and other groups involved too. There's a whole account called the Chilam Balam which details these various wars and political alliances and key kings involved, but it's heavily mixed with myths and is also filtered through 16th century Spanish priests who helped right it down, leading to a lot of the same issues I talked about with the Toltec (who also get mixed into the events of the Chilam Balam) in the comment on the last video. In any case, the league dissolves around the same time the Aztec Empire really starts to get going (though the two had little to do with one another), though there are plenty of more fragmented small to medium sized Maya city-states and kingdoms in Tabasco, Yucatan etc when the Spanish arrive, and in fact the last independent Maya state only falls in 1697. THE CHIMU EMPIRE/KINGDOM OF CHIMOR: Finally, down in the Andes, the Kingdom of Chimor or the Chimu empire probably deserves some consideration: Again, my area is more Mesoamerica then the Andes, but as I understand it this was a major state along Peru's Northern coast which starting around 900-1000AD conquered or grew out of the Sican civilization, itself in turn arising from the Moche civilization (who are really cool, with some mind blowing ceramics and temples, but were more a bunch of competing city-states that as far as I know didn't ever form a particular large single kingdom/empire or state network). Over the next few centuries, Chimor grew into the largest state in the Andes (and it's capital city, Chan Chan, may have been the largest city in Andean history, with 40,000 to 60,000 people, and some palaces over 200,000 sqare meters in area!), seems to have actually built a variety of forts, walls, and road networks, and are also renowned for some of the finest metal artwork in the Precolumbian Americas (like the Moche before them). If anything, the Inca Empire sort of misses the date cutoff for the video a bit and should be in the next one, since the Kingdom of Cusco only really just starts to expand on a large scale in the 1430s, and only manages to subdue Chimor in the 1470s, by which point no other state in the Andes was really capable of stopping them and they swallowed up all of Andean civilization into what we now know as the Inca Empire. Also, Cahokia exists in the Eastern US! But I really don't know enough about Mississipian politics or society to talk about that more, other then that Cahokia itself was relatively impressive, with ~20,000 people, maybe more.

    A similar view was held by the 11th century Arab historian Sa'ed Al-Andalusi. In his book "Category of the nations" he said the following about the Turks: "And their virtue which they skilled in is warfare and its means/tools, they are the best nation when it comes to chivalry, archery and swordsmanship" In another part of the book he says that the Chinese used to refer to the king of the Turks as "The king of the lions".

    Dang medude. That music really fits well. Especially 3:08 is really soothing. Really feels like some sort of ASMR, but actually enjoyable. By the way, I predict (nearly, some islands and stuff not included) every piece of land will be part of an empire at some point. Either empirering or being empired. But lastly I must admit this is perhaps the saddest video in the series for the Romeaboos, as we have both the fourth crusade AND the fall of Constantinople. I know the next couple videos have kolonisatie and that is definitely worse, but it isn't covered nearly as well in the history books. It kinda goes: "We did a lot of bad things. For example, here is Britain so you can have an example of colonialism and imperialism. No, we will not be talking about our effect on Indonesia, Suriname or our other colonies. Figure that out yourself." So it just doesn't have the same impact as the fourth crusade and the fall of Constantinople. Two events which can also neatly be split into a before and after. Anyway, looking forward to the next video. In this series and in general. And also the viewers doing the treaty of versailles one. Fijne dag verder!

    The golden horde was a semi settled state, with massive (for its time) cities on the silk road. The golden hordes taxes hurt the Rus principalities more than it helped the horde, with the taxes mostly being a way for no Rus principality to rival the horde. The idea of the golden horde being a state built off the backs of the rus principalities was an idea created by soviet thinkers who viewed the turkics and their lifestyle as inferior to the russians. The book Russia and the Golden Horde by Charles Halpern is a good book on the Rus principalities under the Tatar yoke.

If the "West Africa every year" video is your source then it isn't your fault though, they forgot it too. Look up Ife Empire and specifically their most famous king Oduduwa
