This one The Battle of Talas was a decisive battle. The Tang Dynasty was at its peak, and almost immediately after the defeat had to deal with an internal rebellion, thus it was never able to expand westward as they had planned, leaving China in a position where it would become vulnerable to Mongol Invasion 200 years later, plus paper was introduced to the islamic civilization. So it really was a decisive battle.

both the Safavid and the Great Moghals of India were Turkic, so you're right from 1300 onward the Turks took over the torchlight and led the Islamic world to the abyss: lost the last Andalusia, lost India, lost almost all of the Balkans, lost the Med. islands, ruined the Arabic language as a lingua franca of the Islamic world, ruined the standard of education of the Muslim world, ruined all the major cities of Islam, ended up declaring a nationalist secular Republics and became a member of Nata/Soviet Union/West.....with such leader who needs crusaders.

Boys back then had all the T-shirts and gear saying, "You better thank the Caliphate, or you'd be speaking Chinese right now!" That was popular back in the 800s.

It's great that you detail the different accounts. A very responsible approach to history.

I use this to study keep it up man 🎉❤

As with any of the large empires of the ancient and medieval world, there comes a point where just can't push any further. The Romans dealt with that. The logistics, distances involved were too much an issue. There was also the question of stability. The Romans had their own revolts and civil wars. Not to mention threats from foreign attack. China in its long history has had many civil wars or prolonged periods where it wasn't under a single unified power. Tang Dynasty was one of China's great dynasties and even they had limits on how far they could reach. That they were able to send an army this far out into Central Asia is an accomplishment, but it's just too far to truly bring the weight of the empire to bear.

i personally think they matter in which these empires projected power is what limited them they often went with large armies occupying larger swaths of land. requiring complex, resource intensive and long supply chains. which put everything between point a and b at risk for raid or revolt or simply being bogged down. i like small professional armies with massive navies. heavily fortify your core regions and only expand with your navy.

Exactly. It takes months just to resupply the frontline and with the limitation of communication technology, the generals/governors of the expedition forces could easily become the de facto king of their legion and region. It is just unrealistic to maintain control over a distant land in ancient time and there is little real incentive other than personal ambition of the aristocracy.

Underrated battle. More people should know about it.

@@Alex-tx2em No, battle of Tours had nothing to do with Talas. The fact is that the so called islamic sources came 400+ years to 500+ years after the Battle of Talas happened, while the Chinese documents were filed by the Anxi region governor after the battle itself. The Anxi region government had all the data about the troops and everything, while the islamic history about the battle which were written roughly half a millennia later were based on various oral traditions and legends, hence the story telling like nature with religious propaganda. While the Chinese history about the Battle of Talas was compiled by from the documents produced by the government that worked in Anxi region, it was the first earliest primary sources about the battle itself. Even the famous al-tabari who was born roughly almost half a century after Battle of Talas didn't even mention a single thing about the battle, if it was so important, nothing will be left out. Just like Chinese historical sources that only gave a single sentence about the battle which show how unimportant it was. And in fact, the "Middle Tang" power only grew in western Central Asia after the Battle of Talas and reached its peak in early 755. I'm not even mentioning the inaccuracies of the islamic history about the Battle of Talas that can be debunked away. The Battle of Talas river changed nothing, at most it gave the transfer of paper to the west, but even this is debatable. The area around the Talas river was still in Chinese hand after the battle itself, not in abbasid possession, the Chinese withdrew only when a civil war broke out in year 755. And the caliphate didn't even have real power around there, it was later taken by Tibetans and after that by the Turks. If there was only significant thing about the Battle of Talas was that the battle managed to get the caliphate out of precarious situation before the battle as those kingdoms in western Central Asia were always rebellious from the beginning of the caliphate control.

Just finished watching the vid in its entirety. What an epic video with its implications of such thundering knock on effects from a seemingly small irrelevant battle.

Spears were like Tomahawk missiles back then. They rained unexpectedly and with GPS precision - down to few meters. They were made of composite materials - wood, rope, flint, iron. Technologically a thousand years ahead of time. Spearmen could jump 50 feet in the air propelling through the medium by doing bicycle movements with knees and feet and throw spears from above as well as below. This was unmatched for a thousand years.

Would love to see more content on China in the future! Maybe something from the Han dynasty or 3 kingdoms period?

The Battle of Talas changed nothing, the mid Tang power actually strengthen during this and reach its peak in early 755, four years after the battle took place. It was more of like a quite big random skirmish without any consequences, the battle was started and just an extension of the quarrel between Tashkent and Ferghana. Western Central Asia didn't become muslim dominated area after this, islam manage to spread slowly but quite steady in those place was when Karluk Turks began to convert to islam as their religion between 900 c.e. to 1000 c.e., while most of Eastern Central Asia still remain mostly out of islamic reach. And Eastern Central Asia only became majority muslims during 15th to 16th century, and islam is wearing off now in Eastern Central Asia, as people become far more educated and becoming secular, also a portion of those returning to their native religion of Tengrism, Shamanism and even Buddhism which is actually a sign of very good thing. And if you're talking about the clash of civilizations which didn't actually happened, then you may add that the earlier ummayad caliphate was beaten by the Tang and by Tang vassal, the Turgish, and the abbasid was also beaten numerous time by Tang allies and vassals and by Tibetan Empire as well.

But for people who migrated to non muslim dominated countries, it will be much easier, with a good educations and logical thinking, i'd seen lots of former muslims or christians who abandoned their faiths when they were exposed to their illogical religious texts.

The reason why China pays attention to this area is that Turks may unite with Tubo to attack China. When the Turks had no influence, the Chinese emperor sent troops to occupy half of the territory of Korea. The Eastern War ended, and the Tibetan Kingdom sent troops to occupy China's affiliated states. The Chinese people failed in the war against Tibet, which led to the rebellion of the Turks and the establishment of the country. When China defeated the Turks again, the Tibetan army was also suppressed by China. But Tubo is still very powerful. During the war, China had 10 powerful legions. There is only one legion in Central Asia. The other four were used to suppress Tibet and its affiliated states in Yunnan. Two of them were used to monitor the Uighurs and other Turks who surrendered to China, and two were used to monitor the subordinate Khitans. A legion used to prevent the Chinese people from rebelling against themselves

Thanks guys! That's a great video!! I think it would be more informative if it was mentioned that: - Umayyad fled to the west of the caliphate and start their rule in Al-Andalus (modern-day Spain and Portugal) which is why the Abbasid focused their effort on the east. - The meeting between the Umayyad general Qutaibah and the emperor of China. - How this small battle affects us more than we would think. For example, People in the Middle East and Europe used to write on papyrus, but history books remember that in this battle the Abbasids captured some Chinese soldiers. These soldiers leaked the secrets of making paper, which paved the way for what is later known as the golden age of Islam and the European Renaissance. (It's already there, my bad!) - How the Chinese Muslims, known as Hui people formed with marriage between Arabs, Persians, and Chinese. - The story of the first mosque built in China Huaisheng Mosque just before this battle. - Name of several books written by both ethnicities about each other. There is one about a Chinese man who lived in Kufa for 20 years!

Umayyad general never met the emperor of china. Hui community of china was largely due to Arab and Iranian male and female marrying into Chinese populace. So the hui are a product of marriage rather than conversion

​@@VicmundLim male and FEMALE? I highly doubt it. I mean as far as i know back then the only type of groups who brave enough to ventured far beyond their geographical sphere of influences were non other than the reckless Merchants. And most, if not all of the merchants back in the day were all Dudes. So the most likely real scenario were like this = The brave and adventurous (and probably also h**ny) male MidEastern merchants of various religions (yes, there were Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians as well in whoms also into trading in China), got permission to marry the local ladies.

@@reteguy7338 yes there are records of foreign female merchants in china. You don't know need permission to marry someone. You just court or woo them

Video ends in Tibetan empire push into tang territory leading to capture of tang capital xian by Tibetan empire 763. Also sending 2 princess to Tibet and signing peace treaty with Tibet. Has Pilars in both capital stating “Tibetans r happy in Tibet and Chinese r happy in China”

Great work. Central Asia played a very pivotal role in medieval times. Glad you are covering it.

HistoryMarche, there are more two parts battles to combine on video to make such as: Battle of the three kings, 1578 AD First Battle of Tarain, 1191 AD ⚔ The First Islamic Conquest of India and Second Battle of Tarain, 1192 AD ⚔ Muhammad of Ghor Returns. Battle of Targoviste, 1462 AD Battle of Cynoscephalae, 197 BC Battle of Poitiers, 1356 AD I hope you can voice and narrate the battles of Poitiers and Targoviste that would be awesome to see your next video. And I hope you narrate the first part of How did Rome Conquer Italy? the Battle of Cynoschephalae, 197 BC by Knowledgia when you combine the second part of the video.

This battle is important as it helped Muslims re-establish control in central asia leading to conversion to Islam of the Region and of Turkic tribes from the steppes that came into contact with the Islamic Central asia. Had Muslim lost this battle, Central Asia would be devoid of Muslim influence. Jeopardizing the conversion of the extremely Important Turkic tribes like Seljuk, Khawarzm, Oghuz Ottomans, Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Mamlukes and even Mongolian elite that accepted Islam after ruling the central asia. Timur, Mughals ......

Islam stayed but the region remained under Mongol successors till 1900 when Russia/Communism took over. Islam came to region in 700s and from 700 to 1200 was Golden age of Central asia.

​@@muhammadadeel8639 The spread of religion does not necessarily mean prosperity. Do you think the Crusades and modern European colonization brought prosperity to the Middle East? Because the Arab Empire not only spread Islam, but also brought advanced cultures from ancient Greece, Rome, Europe, Persia, and ancient India to Central Asia. This is fundamentally different from Western and European colonizers.

Kashmir, Khotan, Turk Shahi kingdoms played a massive role fighting Arabs and Tibetans by allying with Tang Dynasty. Lalitaditya Muktapida of Kashmir and Phromo Kaesaro of Turk Shahis were Heroes in these wars.

Can you do a series on the An Lushan rebellion, which happened just a few years after Talas, and killed a larg portion of the world population, almost as much people as WW1 by some estimates, and led to the decline of the Tang Empire.

Important to know how deep are roots of today's geopolitical situation in Central Asia.

China's own records say 10,000 Tang heavy infantry and 20,000 nomadic power cavalry. One of the nomadic tribes in Tang's sphere of influence defected and attacked the rear of the army.

Can you do research on the last fortress of Song dynasty against the mongol invasion? It is written in such epic way that it withstand mongol invasion for several decades and even cost a death of Great Khan. Later on when the fortress finally fell, the last government member of Song dynasty escape to the boat but got boarded by Mongol. So a government member decide to throw the emperor of Song dynasty (a young boy) into the river just so mongol cannot capture him.

Is it just me🥲 or does the Narrator at the beginning sounds like the English voiceover of Gaara🤣 btw wasn't aware of such a defining moment in history, kudos to the effort to spreading lesser known historical events!!

The key to understand the astonishing Arab conquest is by understanding Islam and its impact on them as a nation , the progressive conquest was sustained by locals converting into Islam.
