I really struggle to see how the Shah thought antagonizing Ghenghis was gonna work out for him. Like, he knew how dangerous the Mongols were. His scouts had found the capital of the Jin-dynasty, his largest trading partner, a city where almost a million people lived, utterly destroyed. The Jin had around ten times his population, but he thought he could handle the force that destroyed them? "I don't know guys, these Mongols don't look that tough to me."

Instead, some clever Javanese faction led by a guy named Raden Wijaya feigned submission to Kublai Khan and convinced the Mongols the real resistance was his own rivals. Supported by his newfound "overlords," Wijaya went on to eliminate his enemies before finally turning on the Mongols, ambushing them while they got drunk during celebrations over their supposed "conquest" of Indonesia. The whole thing was planned from the start.

But since the word "Mamluks" is new, it used to be called simply al-Dawla al-Turkiyya or the State of Turkey by Arabs during the same period due to the bulk of the army consisting of Turkic tribes and Circassians. During Mongol invasions, the Sultanate of Mamluk was governed by Ayyubid sultans therefore...Mongols got stopped by basically an Arabic dynasty with a Turkic army and court. About the notion of stopping Islamic influence...it actually never did. Because the Sultanate of Rum was already in turmoil during their invasion, it probably halted advance for like 40 years maximum.

The Khwarazmian Empire was simply screwed here. At the time of this Mongolian invasion, the Mongols were at the peak of their power and unified under Genghis Khan. Their armies were campaign veterans and Genghis had a an array of top notch generals. Not only that, Genghis Khan led the invasion himself with his all star generals with him. Russia and a lot of Eastern Europe would feel this brutality also, the Khwarazmian Empire was only the first out west to be in line for it. The only reason the Mongol Invasion ended was due to Genghis Khan dying and protocol dictated the various leaders go home for the succession. With Genghis Khan's passing the Mongols were never quite as unified and focused as they were while being led by him.

I'm glad that more and more people are starting to learn about the Mongol Empire under Genghis and his descendants because the stuff they accomplished PURELY in terms of military strategy and achievements and the scale and speed with which they accomplished it are completely unprecedented even to this day. The famous Mongolian horseback archery tactics and hit-and-run strategies are so hard to replicate realistically, even with CGI, that there has not been a single movie that actually depicts it with any sort of justice. The best way to see what the Mongols did to their enemies is probably by playing Mount and Blade: Bannerlord. On an open or mostly open plain, these dudes were never going to lose to anybody, not at their best. Temujin/Genghis Khan was literally an orphaned slave at one point, had to become man of the house as an on-the-run teenager, didn't have any of the advantages of Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, etc. (Aristotle was Alexander's tutor for crying out loud)--that is to say, he wasn't formally educated in any way that we would recognize today--and he took a bunch of what were essentially low-tech nomadic shepherds and hunters and conquered most of the known world with them. His descendants remained feared, respected, and in power for centuries. "Khan" remains a common last name in India. All of this is so absurdly impressive that even anime writers would have thought it was too ridiculous to turn into a script.

The story transitions are seamless and the music and pulsating battle themes are so thematically appropriate they just blend right in, but the video never dwells on one particular feature, it just hits you with back to back transitions of beautiful scenic hand crafted paintings and lively audio.

The speed at which the Mongols conquered such a vast swath of the planet is incredible and terrifying.

Absolutely brilliant!!! The quality of this video is stunning! The music, the artwork, the storytelling. I was getting so many goosebumps and chills during the battle. Not even some big-budget movies have that effect on me. You have a new subscriber!

This is the best history video I’ve ever watched. The incredible art combined with the narration brought to life Genghis Khan and the Mongols in a genuinely terrifying way. I like your earlier content but this was just amazing, please keep making more videos like this.

Excellent presentation dude. I look forward to watching more of these videos. Best to you and your family, peace

Love this style of history vid, thanks man

The absolute best video I've seen on this topic. I love the way it's written. It's like I'm listening to a story in audio book format. It's really well done. The visuals are also on point.

Damn everyone is sleeping on the INCREDIBLE sound design of your videos. Paired with the stunning imagery, your videos are next to none. You should cover Zulu or Maori history next, mostly because I know you'd include an absolute banger of a war chant.

Thanks to the 86 tv series I realised how dramatic and exciting the rise of Shaka Zulu could be, he was a legend, an illegitimate son adopted by an enemy tribe who came back and conquered all other tribes and literally revolutionised warfare completely isolated from any foreign interference. Shame he was backstabbed by his brother. I do wonder how history might've turned out with Shaka Zulu and heirs conflicting with Britain further, I mean the Zulu managed to defeat the British with luck at the Battle of Asandlwana but perhaps im overstating or overexaggerating Shaka's smarts but I wonder if he could've dealt the British an even larger blow.

Thank you Joe! This was amazing! 🖖

That was great, and thanks for the links & referrals to other Historical Documentaries

bro i am on a mission to raise awareness of your channel. you are the most underrated historical youtube channel period. please just keep it up, keep up the quality, direction and research and you will eventually get there. i genuinely love your videos.

Amazing video and story telling! You guys promised a new video and now we have it, can't wait for the next one!!

I'm having chills every 40 seconds. My god, what storytelling. What immersion.

The coolest thing about history is that most times history is so unbelievably more brutal than we think that when we watch about it in tv or movies it doesn’t even do justice to what actually happened.

Beautiful story telling. So many good history channels on youtube but your story telling makes this one really stand out. Can't wait for more.

This channel has quickly become one of it not my favourite history channels, even when the history is something I’ve already heard these videos bring a more vivid, human quality that a lot of history lacks. I cannot wait for the future videos and I hope that they cover the battle of Cannea, The revenge of saint Olga or the last stand of John Chapman.

the very first book i ever read was about Genghis Khan . ever since then I was intrigued by him and his empire ..... Awesome video thanks for the making and uploading of your video ....👍👍

Awesome dedication and talent. Congratulations. Thank you 🙏!

Seriously, what an underrated channel! You guys do FANTASTIC work! The research, the writing, the animation .. just stellar!

Incredible storytelling and visuals Cant wait to see more of your work!

Great video, loved every second of it. It would be great if you could next make a video on the European conquest of the Caribbean, its a very little talked about but it has great significance since most great European powers like France and Britain fought relentlessly for it and the Caribbean was seen as 1 of the most VALUABLE PLACES IN THE WORLD just 100 years ago

Are you a history nerd or the greatest poetic orator of all time. My goodness this is incredible content. I’m visualizing that I am living in the story.

these videos are really awsome, the production is great and you guys really know how to bring these historical moments to life! I was genuinley immersed in this war I have not heard of before.

This is insane story telling man, thank you for sharing I still got chills while typing this. ❤️

Excellent use of figures of speech and symbolism. Uniquely constructed sentences coupled with excellent delivery = a great video!

I must say, the narrator of this story is the BEST of the few Great story tellers I've listened to on KZread! BRAVO!

LOVE these videos, the artwork, music and narration are on point. Keep 'm coming!

This one was insane. Best video so far. Keep up the good work!

This channel is deeply underrated, needs millions of subs.

Mongols just wanted to be friends, bruh. They knew how important trade and diplomacy is but couldn't give them a chance.

They certainly want to be friend with Khwarazmian Empire. By all account and military movement before this, the Mongol was only interested in expanding in today's China's area. Yet, when Khwarazmian Empire killed their ambassador caravans twice...Genghis Khan completely turned his eyes to Khwarazmian Empire. He essentially mobilized his entire Mongol Empire to attack Khwarazmian Empire. 9/10 of his force was attacking Khwarazmian Empire, and only kept 1/10 guiding Mongol.

@@Chemicalkinetics Yes, Mongols had resentment towards south, part of the reason their politics didn't allow Mongols to unite instead kill each other for years and years. And China wanted to tax, Great Wall of China was there for a reason, China was far superior if they were united. Mongols didn't invade India because they didn't give a reason but in the west they were way too brutal after killing of their envoys. The brutal massacre didn't stop until they reached Europe and until the Khan died.

@@MGZetta For the history I have read, Mongol is pretty brutal every where in numerous invasion in different part of China (to be clear, back then there were about 3-4 nations in today's China area). The invasion of the west is especially brutal, but it wasn't like the Mongol was kind in other invasion. They often massacred an entire city after successful invasion.

I know the story all too well, still listened to the very end because I LOVE this channel, the art and your storytelling ability.

I would love to see more historical videos like this, an excellent and interesting way of retelling these tales!!

My God, your writing made it sound like this part of history sounds like a prologue to a fantasy book. Subscribed!

I have just found your videos. They are really good. Thankyou.

Brilliant work, the visuals of this video alongside the powerful script make for a great submersible experience. Felt like I was there alongside the mongols.

The art and sounds are so superb in these videos! And the writing of course.

This thumbnail painting is amazing plus the vid was superb,thanks!!!

I already know what happens and yet I was on the edge of my seat. Masterful storytelling.

"Stealing the horizon" is a fantastic phrase, bravo!

Genghis Khan was really too easy on them. He offered them a great deal, *twice* and the shah was just too brain dead to agree

it was the shah mothers that did all the dirty work, he wanted to trade with the mongols but his mother ordered the convoy to be killed, since you can't turn your own mother he was forced to fight, at least according to our version.
