Hey, I ordered a hoodie from your online store and have emailed you and spring and haven’t heard anything back. Could you help me out? Ordered on January 2nd and it still says my order is printing….
This is a great video. I lived in Hungary 2005-2006, about 30 miles from Tokaj. I visited the area where these battles were fought a few times. Awesome job on this video.
King Béla IV of Hungary left to his son, to Stephen, a prosperous, a rebuilt, a fortified kingdom in 28 years. Béla successfully concluded the alliance between the houses of Árpád and Anjou with a mutual marriage contract. In the last year of his life, in December 1269, Abbot of Monte Cassino Bernhard Ayglerius visited Hungary as the envoy of King Charles I of Anjou. He reported enthusiastically to his lord, the foreign, impartial contemporary envoy saw Béla's court as follows: "The Hungarian royal house has incredible power, its military forces are so large that nobody in the East and the North dares even budge if the triumphant and glorious king mobilizes his army. Most of the countries and princes of the North and East belong to his empire by kinship or conquest." Galician-Volhynian Chronicle about the second Mongol invasion: "Talabuga went to the mountains which can be crossed in three days, but he wandered for thirty days pursued by the wrath of God, and they were so hungry that they started to eat human flesh, then they themselves began to fall, and incredible many were lost. Eyewitnesses said that there were a hundred thousand deads, and the ungodly Telebuga came back on foot and his wife on a bad nag, God made him so miserable" Louis I of Hungary dispatched Andrew Lackfi to invade the lands of the Golden Horde in retaliation for the Tatars' earlier plundering raids against Transylvania and the Szepesség. Lackfi and his army of mainly Szekely warriors crossed the Carpathian Mountains and imposed a decisive defeat upon a large Tatar army on 2 February 1345. The Hungarian warriors were victorious in their campaign, decapitating the local Tatar leader, the brother-in-law of the Khan, Atlamïş, and making the Tatars flee toward the coastal area. The Golden Horde was pushed back behind the Dniester River, thereafter the Golden Horde's control of the lands between the Eastern Carpathians and the Black Sea weakened. We can see this event leads the establishment of Moldavia in 1346 as a Hungarian vassal state.
@B Doon they where pretty smart. Running an empire that geographically massive even for a short time takes an incredible amount supply chain management/communication.
Thank you for this wonderful documentary! I recently signed up for a historical fiction event and was inspired to set my story in 1280s Hungary because I watched this video.
Very good job! History is quite interesting. I really think that the real source of the mongol sucesses at the beginning was no other than Subotai himself. He was a real genius in warfare. The proper man at the proper time in the proper army. That was the key.
Would really be interested to hear about their incursion into the Balkans - I know they had some interaction with Serbs and Bulgarians, possibly even Byzantines
Great documentary. I'll make some comments to finish up the story we have heard. 1. Battle of Mohi took place on the 11th of April 1241. Still, the Mongol army could rarely cross the river Danube. They managed to do it in January of the following year after the Danube had iced up. In the meantime, king Bela IV reorganized his army and armed it with the most effective weapons against the Mongols, with crossbows. Mongols were frightened by this weapon because shots with crossbows were much more dangerous and devastating for them. In February 1242, at the fort of Esztergom, the spiritual capital of medieval Hungary, Batu's and Subotai's army was heavily defeated with crossbows from the strong fort. In the meantime, the archbishop of Esztergom Cardinal Benedek's army eliminated the Mongol troops from the Verecke pass and was hunting for the adventuring Mongol warriors in the northern part of Hungary, causing severe casualties to them. That is why Batu ordered his warriors to leave the Carpathian basin at once. (2) Also to remember the everyday people of the middle of Hungary. Between the rivers, Tisza and Danube, the Mongols practically made the native population extinct. The native peasant built earth forts and fought to the death against the Mongol hordes, causing heavy losses to them. They were the anonym heroes of the Mongol campaigns. Their villages and cities, like the Gold City (Petermonostora), have been explored, and the findings are exhibited in Kecskemet. Archeological explorations were conducted in line with the building of the M5 highway between Szeged and Budapest in the 1980s. All these are evidence of the victory of the Hungarian Kingdom in the first Mongol invasion, too. (2) During the second Mongol campaign, the Polish-Hungarian Coalition was an example of the traditional Polish-Hungarian friendship, which dates back to the Scythian times, the Sarmatian-Scythian-Hunnic era. This national feeling still exists and blooms even today in both countries. (3) In the following century, the Hungarian king, I. Lajos the Great drove the final nail into the coffin of the Golden Horde at the rivers Dnepr and Don, and the coast of the Black Sea. The Hungarian Kingdom defeated the Mongol army three times in history and swept them out of Europe. All these made it possible for Russia to come true. Poland and Hungary saved Western Europe from devastation, not for the first and not for the last time in history. Nobody has given us thanks for this sacrifice.
@MEMER 12 No they did suffer a lot of casualties, specifically at Mohi, look it up. Look at who is telling you this stuff, “Golden Khanate” and someone with a Kanji name, they want you to believe the mongols just had no issue defeating the Poles and Hungarians. If you actually look it up, there are more sources that say they had heavy casualties, furthermore one of the Mongol commanders died at Mohi, his name was Bakatu. Take what these people say with a grain of salt
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a great work. If the Mongols could conqueror Europe, they surely did. But their plans did not work for the mercy of God! It's better for the entire humanity having there in far Asia than in Europe...
Mr Roberts and Real Crusades History team, I really do like all the great content and great quality documentary videos. But can I request a video when you get the time? I would really appreciate a video on the symbology the Knights Templars used. A person I know said they used one symbol, but I see no reference to it online. Though I do see other symbols that are used that look more pagan in nature. I would really like to see the actual history of their symbology instead of all the conspiracy theories about their symbols leading to their wealth.
Ancient Egypt's Gods, were very understandable, they worshipped all they saw that created life, as well as what they saw that assisted life, for example, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris (the God of the dead, God of fertility, and God of resurrection) gave them the gift of ''barley'' one of their most important crops. A large temple was built to honour Osiris at Abydo. They would not only worship things they saw as life-giving, but also life preserving, and that led to them having some quite extraordinary Gods, like the Crocodile (Sobek). They believed that worshipping what could harm or even kill you, would spare you, should you encounter any Crocodiles, but more importantly, they believed that Sobek could protect the Pharaoh from dark magic. They dedicated half the Temple Kom Ombo In Aswan to the Crocodile, LOL. What we see looking through all of Ancient Egypt's 'Gods' is how their understanding improved over time, for example, their most worshipped God, and their most powerful God, was “Amun” (the king of the Gods). Only later, they realized and understood that the sun had a huge importance to man's survival. So they then took “Ra” (the sun God) and added It to “Amun”, creating the all-powerful God “Amun-Ra”. A large and very important temple was built at Thebes to honour Amun-Ra. We then see probably the most well-known shift In Ancient Egypt's Gods, when Tutankhamen's father, Akhenaten, understood that without the sun life would cease to exist. So Akhenaten abolished all the other Gods, replacing them all with the “Aten” (the sun Disk). It actually makes perfect sense to worship the sun. Opposed as to some deity of deception, greed, corruption, murder, and outright savagery.
Excellent video. The cinematics was outstanding. Gripping, really. Thanks for the upload. This second comment is a sacrifice to the Algorithm. Cheers from Tennessee
Hello! Very interesting videos indeed! You also used very beuatiful music in the video. Are you able to tell me what are the titles of the tracks, please (because my shazam can not detect it itself). Thansk for help in advance.
My curiosity has always been why didn't the west counter attack all the way to the Mongol homefronts when it was feasible. If successful one can only wonder what could have been
Regarding the catapults that the Mongols used against the Hungarians. Does anyone know how the Mongols transported them? Did they build them on the spot? Given that they were a riding nomadic people, I am amazed. Anyone able to answer?
They would've been carried during the campaign in their supply train. The Mongols traveled with a massive "tail," that is their supplies and support staff.
@Real Crusades History I don`t think so.From those times, about twenty families still live in our region and THAT is fascinating. My family is just one of them
I often wonder how Alexander the Great would defeat the Mongols; I think he would use 2 concepts: match what they do plus figure out an additional idea (I don’t know what it would be)
Excellent review of the Mongol invasion of Europe. Fortifications and organized defenses worked against the Mongol horsemen who were more used to the plains of the Steps ! Denying them food and provisions stopped them. They had overstretched their resupply lines and logistics. Regards.
The mongolians victorious because of the horse Archers speeding mobility will the Dudley effect of long-range project I like arrows it be funny if there were about 5000 to White man from the future in this time using Shields armour and swords made from alloy and titanium strong and light and for them to use Roman tactics like the studio you surely would have given a hard time to The Mongols and if you also combine the English longbow behind the formation of the distiller with Templars is cavalry in both sides of the formation he could have been deadly and very effective
😂🤣😂😁😈 if they underestimate The Mongols of course they lost and as for the weapons and armour they are effective and just because you have armour from head to toe it doesn't mean you're a coward were the 300 Spartans coward they wore Heavy Armour head to toe big round shield in Long Spears best father's kings and and generals of those times speaking off I used to only conventional Warfare giant Arms in a line colliding with each other are the Mongols war experts in guerrilla warfare and the shares something with kings and generals of Lead times from Europe never faced in Battle before of course it lose there was only one country The Mongols never invader a small European country in the Balkan every time they would send their armies in that country so we'll get ahead send back for the family this country have the same sort of Tactics as the Mongols they understood their enemy perfectly panda graphic location of the country allow the perfect opportunity to ambitious entire aligned of Mongol armies 😈😑 but still you guys have some good points let's talk more about
The Mongol Empire seems more of a "protection" extortion racket than a true empire. Like when organized crime gets tribute from a business, on the threat that the business will be vandalized or burned, with the owner "roughed up". The Romans "romanized" their conquered territories. Enemy combatants enslaved. Roman veterans taking local wives. As in Gaul.
Hey you guys. Could u make more documents about central and eastern Europe history? Wars between Poland Kingdom and Holy Roman Empire of Germanic State, Hungary and Romania, Hhngary and Ottoman Empire, Lithuania, Ruthenians, Polishlithuania Commonwealth etc. Please
How did they get on in Korea? Theres little in the way of Mongols Vs Korea content out there. I know they were stopped by India, Japan (typhoon) and Vietnam to a degree. The maps show Korea being taken, but didn't they experience some defeats there?
Mongol need 8 invasion to make korea become vassal state, korea is close with mongolian heartland who can supply more fast & numered reinforcement. like mongol invasion to poland & hungary is only 50k troops vs 500k troops to conquer southern china
I don't think it is true that the Arab conquest of Spain was originally intended as a raid. Can you please provide sources or reasoning for this claim?
@Al Kinny There is no kingdom in northern Spain, the Romans and the Goths did not invade northern Spain because this region has nothing to do with mountains.
There was no Arab conquest of Spain There's the Arab conquest of different parts of Iberia They never conquered the northern kingdoms of Iberia and it was those kingdom's that would later merge to become Spain and Portugal
First Vlahs were let into the Carpathian Basin one century later, together with German, and Slav people. Royal officers arranged the colonization of Transylvania (at that time Cumania), they were called kenéz (Hungarian), knyez (Romanian), Schultheiss (German), and lehota (Slav). Romanians appear in written history around the 16th century, before that only Vlahs were mentioned. What happened more with Romanians in 1859 - well, I have no idea, but the Mongol invasion took place more than 600 years earlier. During the realm of king Béla IV, the name of Transylvania was Cumania, the land of the Cumans. A significant proportion of them still lives in Hungary's Great Plain.
@CARnL We're not talking about South America, we're talking about Europe, and faith and the alphabet are, to put it simply, the easiest way to recognize where you are. This is due to the conditions of culture, civilizational affiliation and history of Central Europe. By the way, I'll ask you one simple question if South America was conquered by Europeans from the Byzantine and not Latin civilization, what alphabet would be used by its inhabitants today and what faith would be there dominant?
@Smok Wawelski no, that is absurd, faith and alphabet? What about genetics, culture, linguistics, history, economy? The whole of Southamerica are catholics and wrote with the Latin alphabet, are they also western Europeans? You are Eastern European and you know, you can just invent something in a generation that hasn't changed in thousands of years and speak others to follow you, you wish people were dummies, but they are not
@CARnL They're just simle ignorant. Poland and Hungary is central Europe country - primary school geography level. Culturally belongs to the Latin civilization, unlike most Eastern European countries. For your innformation: Central Europe comprised most of the territories of the Holy Roman Empire and those of the two neighboring kingdoms of Poland and Hungary. Hungary and parts of Poland were later part of the Habsburg monarchy, which also significantly shaped the history of Central Europe. Unlike a Eastern Europe elements of cultural (Latin Civilizization) unity for Northwestern, Southwestern and Central Europe were Catholicism and Latin. Eastern Europe (Byzantine and Turanian Civilization), which remained Eastern Orthodox, was dominated by Byzantine cultural influence.
@Real Crusades History Islam part of the West? What are you talking about now? Is there a single author that includes Islam as part of western civilization? I totally lost respect for you now
@Real Crusades History I honestly think the names of the kings, towns, rivers, troop movements, dates etc on the maps add a visual angle that makes it easier to comprehend the story. So I think the current video format would be better than audio only storytelling.
Actually going forward I was thinking of just doing podcasts. I'm more interested in the idea of audio presentations without having to worry about visuals. What do you think?
Most wonderful documentary coverage video about three attempts by Mongol invading currents of eastern European countries through Poland 🇵🇱 & Hungarian 🇭🇺 territories...while after 3rd attempting Mongolian forces Retreated to their original country's gradually... besides the deaths of their Great khan...Army leaders of Golden horde military realized that Christians ✝️ were Soldifieded their military attitudes & coordinated amongst themselves..for that they lost their Cohesion..while they laughed several Civil wars amongst major racists of them ( Turk,Turkmen & Mongol) ..Saljuk, black sheep, white sheep ,Tumerlay, Safawy & Ottomans...they published deaths, destructions, famines, plagued inside eastern Islamic world for several centuries
There is no virtue in losing. War isn't about honor and valor. Would you be stubborn about it when the lives of your loved ones, your people and the safety and survival of your home is at stake? The stepp people knew that better than anyone after centuries of hardship and fighting. They evolved to be practical n efficient, none of that valor bs. Hit and run is good it minimizes the casualty on your side.
Actually according the history there were German nights those were contributing with the Pols those against the Mongols were lost! German nights were lost based on the facts!
They literally conquered up to Austria in their first western expedition then conquered up to parts of Germany in their second fragmented total Empire as the Golden Horde
@alphavegas1you mean the group of people who were mostly farmers? Vikings might have the most misinformation about them of any historical group in existence.

Great episode. Probably the best King the Crusaders ever had. History may have been different, had he not been cursed with Leprosy.

These what you say are largely non-factual, rather wishfull thinking.
@Восточный Ветер The kingdoms of India, the kingdoms of Egypt and Vietnam, my brother, but I defeated them
Монголы 200 г не кому не проигрывали, сейчас все стараются переписать историю под себя
Excellent overview of extremely important history, little known in western europe.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you find the number of Mongol casualties in Poland. What were your sources. Thank you, great video.
The sources are in the descriptions.
@MEMER 12 No they did suffer a lot of casualties, specifically at Mohi, look it up. Look at who is telling you this stuff, “Golden Khanate” and someone with a Kanji name, they want you to believe the mongols just had no issue defeating the Poles and Hungarians. If you actually look it up, there are more sources that say they had heavy casualties, furthermore one of the Mongol commanders died at Mohi, his name was Bakatu. Take what these people say with a grain of salt
@Golden Khanate hahahaha that was so funny man. And so original I love it. Your the man
@雨青 Yeah, guess you're right. I've just always seen; Mongols win suffer little casualties. Or now they've suffered many casualties.
take it as a grain of salt, even if there are sources
Solid educated information. Thank you !!
Again I am always learning something new with your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as always thank you
This is the History that should be taught in school; make it interesting & they will listen, give them a love for history.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a great work. If the Mongols could conqueror Europe, they surely did. But their plans did not work for the mercy of God! It's better for the entire humanity having there in far Asia than in Europe...

So amazing. Thank you. I love history
Same here:)
The Mongols ,when starving would cannibalise 1 in 10 of their own soldiers.
Do you have videos on the battle during the biblical times?
Excellent video. The cinematics was outstanding. Gripping, really. Thanks for the upload. This second comment is a sacrifice to the Algorithm. Cheers from Tennessee
They are using a mod in a game called Rome 2 total war. The mod I believe is called 1212 ad
If you wanted to know the cinematics
What about the Germans? I can't believe the teutonic knights would not have been a major force to be reckoned with...
One good thing about the Mongols: at least you know your army is effective if you can fight them off I suppose.
Vietnam did it three times in a row.
Hello!
Very interesting videos indeed!
You also used very beuatiful music in the video.
Are you able to tell me what are the titles of the tracks, please (because my shazam can not detect it itself).
Thansk for help in advance.
The sheer number of horses needed
My curiosity has always been why didn't the west counter attack all the way to the Mongol homefronts when it was feasible. If successful one can only wonder what could have been
@علي ياسر No, I mean Russia, Russians pushed all the way to the Mongol hometown, and even beyond, to Alaska
@Nikola Živković You mean America
@Yue Fei Are you kidding? How about Vikings
They did, its called Russia.
I come from Legnica, so I had to click the video when I saw the thumbnail :)
Regarding the catapults that the Mongols used against the Hungarians. Does anyone know how the Mongols transported them? Did they build them on the spot? Given that they were a riding nomadic people, I am amazed. Anyone able to answer?
@Real Crusades History Yup, just like most armies
People have this misconception that the Mongol army consisted of nothing but horse archers
They would've been carried during the campaign in their supply train. The Mongols traveled with a massive "tail," that is their supplies and support staff.
Those units where chinise exclusivly. They used them in the bagdad seage.
my great ancestor was supposedly one of the knights of Bela IV in the battle of Mohi
@Real Crusades History I don`t think so.From those times, about twenty families still live in our region and THAT is fascinating. My family is just one of them
Fascinating!
I think the keys here were armor, be it the individual knight or a fortified city, and robbing the Mongols of their plunder.
I often wonder how Alexander the Great would defeat the Mongols; I think he would use 2 concepts: match what they do plus figure out an additional idea (I don’t know what it would be)
Long spears and large sheild walls
lucius Alexander cursed the Scythians
You’ve never heard of Alexander’s cavalry Lolololololololololololololololololololol
😂😂😂 horses vs dudes on feet… go figure
J I’m don’t think he could’ve
My last name is because of the battle of Mohi.
Excellent review of the Mongol invasion of Europe.
Fortifications and organized defenses worked against the Mongol horsemen who were more used to the plains of the Steps !
Denying them food and provisions stopped them.
They had overstretched their resupply lines and logistics.
Regards.
But in many fortresses in Eurasia the Mongols would besiege many cities ambush any relief force. So I don't think just fortresses were enough.
I find it hard to believe mongols would overstretch their supply lines. They were masters of it.
More Mongols please
The mongolians victorious because of the horse Archers speeding mobility will the Dudley effect of long-range project I like arrows it be funny if there were about 5000 to White man from the future in this time using Shields armour and swords made from alloy and titanium strong and light and for them to use Roman tactics like the studio you surely would have given a hard time to The Mongols and if you also combine the English longbow behind the formation of the distiller with Templars is cavalry in both sides of the formation he could have been deadly and very effective
@Golden Khanate The Mongols were going to lose to Poland, but the Mongols used chemical weapons and won
I'm sorry for the spelling autocorrect
😂🤣😂😁😈 if they underestimate The Mongols of course they lost and as for the weapons and armour they are effective and just because you have armour from head to toe it doesn't mean you're a coward were the 300 Spartans coward they wore Heavy Armour head to toe big round shield in Long Spears best father's kings and and generals of those times speaking off I used to only conventional Warfare giant Arms in a line colliding with each other are the Mongols war experts in guerrilla warfare and the shares something with kings and generals of Lead times from Europe never faced in Battle before of course it lose there was only one country The Mongols never invader a small European country in the Balkan every time they would send their armies in that country so we'll get ahead send back for the family this country have the same sort of Tactics as the Mongols they understood their enemy perfectly panda graphic location of the country allow the perfect opportunity to ambitious entire aligned of Mongol armies 😈😑 but still you guys have some good points let's talk more about
@Yue Fei Yeah still lost to the Mongols using spears, swords, and blunt weapons
The Mongol Empire seems more of a "protection" extortion racket than a true empire. Like when organized crime gets tribute from a business, on the threat that the business will be vandalized or burned, with the owner "roughed up". The Romans "romanized" their conquered territories. Enemy combatants enslaved. Roman veterans taking local wives. As in Gaul.
Time to rebrand to "Real Medieval History", lol.
Excellent.

I don't think it is true that the Arab conquest of Spain was originally intended as a raid. Can you please provide sources or reasoning for this claim?
@Al Kinny There is no kingdom in northern Spain, the Romans and the Goths did not invade northern Spain because this region has nothing to do with mountains.
There was no Arab conquest of Spain
There's the Arab conquest of different parts of Iberia
They never conquered the northern kingdoms of Iberia and it was those kingdom's that would later merge to become Spain and Portugal
He mentioned some local Hungarian and Romaine troops, what Romanian from 1859?🤔😊
that time was no romania,according to maps
@Jimmy Chase Sure... Still I am getting fed up with the Vlach mythology.
@Csaba Elek I think he was referring to their ethnicity if that makes sense
First Vlahs were let into the Carpathian Basin one century later, together with German, and Slav people. Royal officers arranged the colonization of Transylvania (at that time Cumania), they were called kenéz (Hungarian), knyez (Romanian), Schultheiss (German), and lehota (Slav). Romanians appear in written history around the 16th century, before that only Vlahs were mentioned. What happened more with Romanians in 1859 - well, I have no idea, but the Mongol invasion took place more than 600 years earlier. During the realm of king Béla IV, the name of Transylvania was Cumania, the land of the Cumans. A significant proportion of them still lives in Hungary's Great Plain.
@peter there wasn't. So your comment is odd. What exactly are you trying to say?

The West? do you mean Eastern Europe? that is not really known as The West in Europe, is it in USA?
@CARnL We're not talking about South America, we're talking about Europe, and faith and the alphabet are, to put it simply, the easiest way to recognize where you are. This is due to the conditions of culture, civilizational affiliation and history of Central Europe.
By the way, I'll ask you one simple question if South America was conquered by Europeans from the Byzantine and not Latin civilization, what alphabet would be used by its inhabitants today and what faith would be there dominant?
@Smok Wawelski no, that is absurd, faith and alphabet? What about genetics, culture, linguistics, history, economy? The whole of Southamerica are catholics and wrote with the Latin alphabet, are they also western Europeans? You are Eastern European and you know, you can just invent something in a generation that hasn't changed in thousands of years and speak others to follow you, you wish people were dummies, but they are not
In sum - how to recognize an Eastern European country "for the dummies" ? The alphabet they use is Cyrillic, and the dominant faith is Orthodoxy.
@CARnL They're just simle ignorant. Poland and Hungary is central Europe country - primary school geography level. Culturally belongs to the Latin civilization, unlike most Eastern European countries.
For your innformation: Central Europe comprised most of the territories of the Holy Roman Empire and those of the two neighboring kingdoms of Poland and Hungary. Hungary and parts of Poland were later part of the Habsburg monarchy, which also significantly shaped the history of Central Europe.
Unlike a Eastern Europe elements of cultural (Latin Civilizization) unity for Northwestern, Southwestern and Central Europe were Catholicism and Latin.
Eastern Europe (Byzantine and Turanian Civilization), which remained Eastern Orthodox, was dominated by Byzantine cultural influence.
@Real Crusades History Islam part of the West? What are you talking about now? Is there a single author that includes Islam as part of western civilization? I totally lost respect for you now
Have thought of doing a podcast?
@Real Crusades History I honestly think the names of the kings, towns, rivers, troop movements, dates etc on the maps add a visual angle that makes it easier to comprehend the story. So I think the current video format would be better than audio only storytelling.
Actually going forward I was thinking of just doing podcasts. I'm more interested in the idea of audio presentations without having to worry about visuals. What do you think?
Proud of my ancestors who fought the mongols.
How about against Atila?
Most wonderful documentary coverage video about three attempts by Mongol invading currents of eastern European countries through Poland 🇵🇱 & Hungarian 🇭🇺 territories...while after 3rd attempting Mongolian forces Retreated to their original country's gradually... besides the deaths of their Great khan...Army leaders of Golden horde military realized that Christians ✝️ were Soldifieded their military attitudes & coordinated amongst themselves..for that they lost their Cohesion..while they laughed several Civil wars amongst major racists of them ( Turk,Turkmen & Mongol) ..Saljuk, black sheep, white sheep ,Tumerlay, Safawy & Ottomans...they published deaths, destructions, famines, plagued inside eastern Islamic world for several centuries
I know they say “judge not lest ye be judged,” but this Genghis Khan sounds like he was a real jerk.
if you read the history of Genghis Khan based on modern historians version you will change your mind

I HATE HIT AND RUN TACTICS. its not valor
@Allāh bless Winnie & Homothey use the same tactics
There is no virtue in losing. War isn't about honor and valor. Would you be stubborn about it when the lives of your loved ones, your people and the safety and survival of your home is at stake? The stepp people knew that better than anyone after centuries of hardship and fighting. They evolved to be practical n efficient, none of that valor bs. Hit and run is good it minimizes the casualty on your side.
@Gladys Sandoval Yeah，the same to you.
@Gladys Sandoval exactly
Frederick the Seconds German Empire alone would have crushed the Mongols if they struggled with Poland and Hungary.
Actually according the history there were German nights those were contributing with the Pols those against the Mongols were lost! German nights were lost based on the facts!
Why did the Mongols withdraw? They were starving in the fields of Hungary. Then Hungary went into Poland and smacked them again.
Just read a book ffs
They literally conquered up to Austria in their first western expedition then conquered up to parts of Germany in their second fragmented total Empire as the Golden Horde
am I the only one who doesn't like the Mongols? they've always made me mad ever since learning about them in high-school lol
@alphavegas1you mean the group of people who were mostly farmers? Vikings might have the most misinformation about them of any historical group in existence.
Tribes of Asia, mongolian, tatars Golden horde, turks, huns, none of these people were white or pale , pink,..
@Golden Khanate The Mongols numbered 60,000 soldiers in this war, which is not a large number
They used some Russian soldiers in the Golden Horde as well as Georgians in the Ilkhanate
They were actually black Africans traveling to Mongolia on pyramids.
@Hyperboreanbeliverlol!
they were black
👍👍👍👍
