The Mongols also created a network of stables across the continent where messengers could ride on horseback at high speed, stopping periodically to exchange a tired horse for a rested one, or pass off their parcels to fresh riders while they are and slept themselves. This is one of the ways they were able to govern such large territories.

A former monk (because during severe famine it's the only way to get some food) joined the rebel army and climbed the ranks through numerous battles. Finally when the leader was killed in a battle, he became the new leader of the faction. Several rebellious factions fought each other and the Yuan Dynasty. His faction became the final winner.

Excellent episode. I’ve watched many of yours, but learned a ton from your take on this one.

Temujin never had a step father according to the history. But he sought support from his father's old friend Tooril Van.

When Ogedei died the Mongols were right on the very precipice of conquering all of Europe and would have forever changed (for the good? for the bad?) European life. They all just stopped, turned their armies around and went home… amazing! Two great resources I’ve found on this subject are Frank McLynn’s Genghis Khan and even better , Genghis Khan , The Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. Great books! Great subject… the Mongols would ride one horse and have 2-3 more tethered to the back of their saddle. When horse one would be tiring from hauling the rider , the warriors would pull a new fresh mount alongside and jump, without slowing or stopping, onto the fresh mount and continue. They would be able to cover VAST (for the time) distances this way and outpace and confound their adversaries. Awesome!

It was informative and thrilled watching historical coverage video about Mongol empire and fall down by fragmentation and ,other destructive reasons.....thank you for sharing this wonderful video

Always funny to think about it, but in so many different regions of the world at one point or another in their culture/nation’s history has the line “…and then the Mongols showed up.”

My wife is from Thailand and genetically she is largely Mongol. Apparently that is pretty common.

The Mongols were a pretty extreme set of qualities. Once you were "in" with their Empire, they were pretty tolerant. Practice your religion, they don't care. The Mongols had their own religion from Mongolia but they didn't push it down the throats of the people they conquered. Trade was fostered, encouraged, and of course taxed. Trade across and through the Empire was safe as the Mongols took secure trade routes dead seriously. The video mentioned the flow of ideas between east and west. It was all good, just don't start trouble. The catch to this all was that to be "in" the Empire was you were for most parts, conquered by force. And that process tended to be quite ugly, especially during the heyday of Genghis Khan himself. The Mongols on campaign were absolutely brutal. China, the Middle East, wherever. The slaughter and looting was gigantic and legendary. The Fall of Baghdad rocked the Islamic world. At the time of its conquest by the Mongols it was the peak of cultural, scientific, and economic power. Then it got razed with most of the population butchered. Stuff like that happened many times over during the Mongols on their expansionist period.

Especially when realising that the carnage and mayhem that the Mongolians brought to reach that 10% death toll of the global population was done without even entering the Americas, Africa, Australia and Western Europe. Asia was the most populated continent in the 13th century, but even then it meant killing about 15-20% of the population in the conquered areas.

To the west, on the upper Irtysh River, lay Naiman territory. The Kereit and Naiman, not the Mongols, were masters of the steppe. The Kereit and Naiman elites spoke Turkic and had partially converted to Christianity under the influence of the Nestorian Church. In an effort to out do each other, To'oril of the Kereit and Tayang Qan of the Naiman accumulated men, weapons, alliances, and prestige. Yesügei Ba'atur sided with the Kereit. Later Chinggis Khan would subdue the Kereit and the Naiman in the course of a protracted effort to defeat all challengers among the steppe peoples. The Horde How the Mongols Changed the World Marie Favereau, p.32-33

The main reason an empire can or can't flourish, is down to geography. The Mongols had geography on their side, coupled with the use of horses and a steady diet of mainly protein, made them almost unstoppable.

But the Muslim empire suddenly had to turn around and deal with an invasion from the East. That bought Europe time to strengthen and advance in science and weaponry.

His book romanticizes his China captivity, which is understandable. 17 years is not a short period. He had to adopt some form of positivity.

Also the details like how in many countries the Google car got followed around by police or armed escort incase they got car jacked for the camera kit. Global scale and certainly couldn't be a 10 mins job. Come on, surely that's a good idea?

Mongol Empire is the player that put ALL skill points in warfare tree and believed he can solve everything by might.

I find it weirdly ironic that a guy who soent his whole life riding horses died from falling off a horse. Thats like a race car driver dying in a street accident

Way to downplay the 3 campaigns in Vietnam, including the Battle of Bach Dang, as "hot weather and diseases"

There are rumors the Byzantine Emperor managed poison Ogedai but this mirrors a certain other super conqueror who died after a drinking bout too closely for my taste

The great khan ❤

Yay! Finally here! Long after you presented the British Empire 🇬🇧 here we are at last! 😊 I believe Shan Yu and his horde in the film Mulan was strongly inspired by Gengis Khan and the Mongol Invasion of China (cartoon version) 🤔

Mulan was set in 600AD so would have faced the Gokturks (Huns were earlier (400AD) and Mongols were later (1200AD)).

The era of Mulan was during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. The northern country was called Northern Wei, the emperor's name was Tuoba Tao, and the nomadic tribe's name was Rouran. The outcome of this war was China's conquest of Rouran

Just a pity they spent 15 minutes thrashing the BE and neglecting to mention the good that it brought to the world and 14 minutes totally fanboying the Mongols and neglecting to mention the many atrocities they committed along the way. History is complicated... unlike these videos.

A truly amazing feat of conquest and strategy.

Absolutely. 👍

The Mognols are the most fascinating people in history. No other group of people came from absolutely nowhere to rule as much of the world as they did and then completely disappear into obscurity. It's so bizarre. All other people that had great empires of the past still make some noise today, such as the Romans (Italy), British, Persians (Iran), China, Ottoman (Turkey), Russia, France etc. But you never hear anything from the Mongols today.

its because they are beast that is caged and guarded by two major world powers called Russia and China

Same story as Alexander or Alexander on 'horseback'

Yep, hard to cover in 13 minutes and too much misinformation to find in sources, but some wrong info aside, it is nice to see another big channel talking about the mongols.

tbh what happened to the mongols after the collapse, during 15-20th century, how golden linage and tribal leaders conflicted again is far more interesting than the rise of the emprie which everyone knows
