The Indian subcontinent includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Maldives. So it's a really diverse region, it includes deserts, snowy mountains, islands and tropical regions.

The Ottoman Turks avoided the problem of civil wars of succession between brothers. As soon as one brother was declared Sultan, the others were strangled with silken cords.
@@thephilosophermma8449 so you let civil war happen after every 5 years so and when this practice stopped ottoman sultan became weak and after 1687 Ottoman Empire started to become weak. The same problem faced by Mughals empire and almost every big empire in world.
Yeah humans also mounted elephants and handed them armor way back when Alexander the great was alive, he was defeated on territory of an early Indian kingdom that used elephants against him
Alexander's army had abandoned the dream of conquering India, When he came to know that there is already a huge empire here, which has colossal force of 250000 infantry, cavalry, chariots and war elephants. British adopted the divide and rule policy, they took advantage of India's diversity.The British used to make the kings of our country fight among themselves, when needed, used to give weapons to the kings on both sides.So many religions and castes reside in India, the tradition of all was also different. It was easy to make them fight among themselves

Then the British bled it dry to the last bone, and also used native soldiers to fight all their 19th and early 20th century wars. Britian would not have industrialized so early in the 19th century if they weren't exploiting the resources of their primary Indian (and also African and Australian) colonies. Karl Marx called it 'primitive accumulation' of early-stage capitalism. There's a reason why the Empire at that time called India the "jewel in the crown".
Awesome, thanks. I have seen some Oversimplified videos, but not all of them. Perhaps I'll do a few of those, and take a look at Geography Now. Haven't watched those.
It's not only about ego, it's often about survival. If you knew that not conquering or invading would mean you're the one going to be conquered and invaded you might very well reconsider your position. Keep in mind that not every invading force is nice enough to let you or your people survive the ordeal.
Every country at war will use it's natural resources to aid its victory! Elephants were used when available! Camels were used in north africa by both sides before during and after ww1 . Horses were widely used by germany in ww1 and 2 .polish cavalry charges on tanks in 1939 against German !
Well, the East India company wanted to trade but saw an opportunity to annex probably the richest region in volume in the world until that point of human history so why not. At the time the subcontinent was divided up a lot so the East India company bought/exploited a lot of princely states as you would call the small divided regions and used varied tensions to conquer.
At the time of Aurangzeb, Bengal had 25% of the world's GDP. India was a land FULL of wealth. That is why the Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and British raced to conquer India.
@@SoGal_YT Seriously; India was a consolation prize. We really wanted the spice islands but the Dutch beat us to them and that treaty is why its called New York and not New Amsterdam. Hell the Portugease explored and collonized all the way around Africa to get to India just because the ottoman turks cut europe out of the spice trade. Many spices where worth more than their weight in gold. Men would risk their fortunes, their freedoms and their lives for a cargo of spice. They displayed and power, they helped make bad or rotten food or boring diets palatable and people even thought they had medicinal value as they could be used in "balancing the four humors" as they would put it.

My god...Mughals were not locals, they were not Indians. they were Muslims, On the other hand most of the indians are Hindus and Buddhists. Mughals just conquered India thats it.
Sogal British wanted India because why not why wouldn't you want a subcontinent full of resources and riches why wouldn't you want your Empire to be rich
If yo visit the Royal armouries in Leeds, England, there is on show a full set of Indian war-elephant armour (on a model elephant). Basically, they were used as tanks with soldiers in howdahs on their backs. 1000 of them must have been a terrifying sight as they advanced with trumpets and guns.

22:07 Not exactly Mongols. It clearly says 'Persianized Turko Mongol Warrior Aristocracy' The first Mughal emperor Baber was from Uzbekistan who had Turkish & Mongolian blood it seems. More Turkish than Mongolian.. as his grandfather Timur was the emperor of the Timurid Empire. But wait..Timur was a descendant of Genghis Khan as well. Does that make Baber more Mongolian than Turkish?😂
Yes this question is for britishers why he slaverishesd subcontinent people and why he conquered subcontinent and why he divided subcontinent into many countries
There is a reason why Babur wanted to conquer India. India would be an economic powerhouse. But you are talking about the 16th century. This want to conquer is the same thing that led to the creation of America. However, Babur was a target so he felt that his survival depended on him.

this video info is wrong that you are watching moghul(mughal) doesn't mean rich person it means mongol in turkic and persian the mughals were the muslim unit of the mongol empire decents from the chagatai khanate bubur hailed from the barlas tribe of central mongolia called the barlas tribe they were mongolic when they moved to central asia they got influenced by turkic cultures and islam babur was decent of genghis khan through his son chagatai khan even if you see baburnama was written in chagatai turkic and mongol.
Why did the British want India? Why did the Greeks want Persia? Why did the Romans want Greece? Why did the Persians want Egypt? We can keep asking these questions till the end of time. The truth is they wanted them because they knew they could take them, that's pretty much the only reason. Humans are a warlike people, it's no coincidence that in long times of peace human ingenuity and progression slows, whereas in wartime we can go from cavalry charges to tanks and air battles in just a few short years. In the cold war America went from metal bombs that needed to be transported and dropped via airplane, to having the capacity to obliterate the Island of Ireland with a sonic pulse weapon from outer space if it got the urge to one day.
India has vast resources of jewels like diamonds rubies emeralds. Tea. So many spices! Lo5s of timber teak etc! Cotton which used to be bought from USA colonies! All to be plundered by the british! I dont want to be cheeky but if you dabble in british history from 1500 onwards it would become much clearer ! The Dutch east india company did exactly what the british did across Indonesia!! Canada also had similar set up used by the brits as we colonised it. Cecil Rhodes did a similar thing in Africa for britain! The old country of Rhodesia may give you a clue! Zealand is an area of Holland and that's how we get New Zealand. Nova (new) Scotia (scotland) caledonia is an area of scotland but you may know new caledonia in Canada! Hawaii was found by captain cook a famous british explorer and we have the cook islands he also helped map the east coast of Australia where you may have heard of states like NEW SOUTH WALES AND VICTORIA. The list is colossal British navy put limes in water barrels on ships to help stop scurvy and americans called brits limeys! Australia was a penal colony for the British where they call brits POMMS. the prisoners sent to australia had POHM written on their uniforms = prisoner of his majesty!!
The use of elephants in war goes back thousands of years, but it was never very practical. They make for good platforms for archers and can crush enemies underfoot. However, elephants are difficult to control and easily panicked. Both the Romans and the Macedonians dealt with them quite effectively. In the end, the panicking elephants often killed more soldiers on their own side than on the enemy's.
You wanted a time frame at the start. I watched your Mongolian empire video, it dealt with ghengis khan in the 13th century. 1205 -1266 . So 300 years before the Moughal empire starts. This video talks about dynastic ancestry. I heard a statistic a few years ago that about 80% (?) Of the people of this region have dna that can be traced back to ghengis, he had a lot of wives and concubines, and enjoyed his conquests. Alladin. I associate him with Baghdad and Iraq. He is one of the heroes from the tales of 1001 nights. War elephants. There is a long tadition of these animals being used. Remember The Carthaginian, Hanibal, used them to fight the Romans. He took some of them along when he crossed the Alps from France into Italy. They were useful for breaking up enemy lines and formations, archers could fire down on the enemy from boxes (howdahs ) carried on their backs. I saw some elephant armour on display in the tower armouries in London. It would cover the head and shoulders of the elephant to protect it from arrows, spear thrusts etc. East India Company. Yes it had its own defensive forces. It's ships carried canon too. They were carrying and trading expensive products in volatile countries. It all needed protecting. They took advantage of unstable situations to push their own agenda. They wouldn't try and knock down a stable and thriving set up, they would just seek trade agreements with them. But if the opposition were crumbling they would move in to start running the show. Trade and economic wealth was their goal, running the place was subsidiary to that.
Actually, whilst being of Indigenous descent I am no fan of Columbus, he called the Native People of our country "Indios"("People of God" in Italian),not "Indians".
don't confuse with the Word "INDIA" the word INDIA was given by Greeks . (because of Indus river) the Persian called as "HINDOSTAN" even it is called by Europeans of western world, but the actual we Indian not called as INDIA , we called as "BHARATA VARSHA or BHARAT" because in Ancient Time it was called as BHARATA VARSHA or "ARYAVARTH" in our ancient text (written in Sanskrit) the whole land called as "BHARATA VARSHA or BHARAT" even in our constitution (Indian constitution) also refers " INDIA as " BHARAT" local Indian not called India they called Hindustan or Bharat. You should make review on Ancient India or on Ancient Indian text then you know ..!
There was no clear successor after the death of the king according to Mughal Traditions. The empire was then divided between siblings, therefore they try to kill each other to obtain all of the empire.
the British East India co. started out as a trading co but thought they needed an army so there were laws, their not liking the local laws. so imposed themselves on the area the Indian princes could work under the east India company so it stayed. unfortunately, the company became too powerful so so the British government dissolved the company and declared Victoria as empress. that is as far as my secondary education took me the attraction of India it produced many of the spices and was greatly valued
Genghis Khan was actually not so bad that we know. If you really want to know about Genghis Khans truth then you can check out Avijit chavdas video on Genghis Khan.
For mighals were descendent of Genghis on mother's side. Mughals never called themselves Mughal...the called themselves timurids and identified them with timurlane. Later they were named as Mughals by historians... If you want to know about india... Watch about: ashoka(his royal emblem still used as national emblem) Gupta.. Budhha... And Gandhi
Just about every 'ruler' faced challenges from others, including family. It was the way it was 'might is right'. Although heavily disguised might is right is still the driving factor within society. Henry VIII had his nearest challenger, Edward Stafford, executed. James II was deposed by his daughter and son in law.
Why British invade India ?good question but answer is so simple india is very wealthy and fertile especially pepper which known as black gold at that time British is economically nothing in front of India at that time so they invade india. India is most diverse country in the world linguisticly,religiously and culturally so British come up with the idea of divide and rule so they can invade all the wealth of India to do so British make conflicts between hindhu Muslim and sikhs and they fought each other’s and after so many years Indians united and they fought against British and India got independence Sorry for my poor English
go watch a wee vid ' 500 miles'. and watch a series on here, 'Heartbeat', tons of programmes', over a lot of years, will let you see a lot more of England.
India is not local language name it's an Greek name it was called mahabharat and maha is great which the Indian subcontinent which includes Bangladesh srilanka Pakistan Afghanistan india
Afghanistan is not part of the Indian subcontinent, the Indian subcontinent ends at Pakistan. Afghanistan is also geographically very disconnected to it due to the much higher altitude thanks to mountains
He haven't covered many things like british once loosed against aurangjeb and britain came for trade but they have seen indian kingdom fighting so we know what they do if you reply me i can send you a video link where you will get to know the actual reality
1. You are talking in a typical feminine ideal of a world, such as why conquer other nations and kill and why not live in harmony; well men specially in those times were dreaming of conquering lands and it is in man's nature to fight and leave his mark, like male lions extending their territory meaning more access to mating and preys. 2. Elephants were used to hold upto 10/20 men with specially made base on its back, where the fighters would use bow and arrow, just like lord of the rings.
"I didn't know they used elephants in wars..." My jaw dropped. Could it be possible that this lady somehow missed out on Hannibal and Alexander the Great? Oh boy that journey of learning just got a lot longer... Let me get some pop corn, then let's go!
Also for spices, and to grow 3 cash-crops (cotton, tea and opium) ... Cotton because we needed cloth and America wouldn't sell us cotton from the Southern States after 1776. Opium to trade with the Chinese, even though we knew its sale was forbidden in China (we mainly swapped it for tea, until we stole and smuggled a tea bush out of China). Tea once we "liberated" a bush from China because it's our national drink.
please react on Ashoka the great, Mauryan empire the largest Indian empire in the history of the India and subcontinent, it is truly an Indian empire, for us Mughal was also invaders and why Ashoka was greatest among great ,he drove the invaders out of India ruclips.net/video/Ed6UZtVTI64/видео.html
Poor video, history should never be used to point fingers at others in later times, that's the quickest way to stir up hatred. Even with actions within someone's lifetime you can't really paint all people with the same brush. Individuals are responsible not a whole people. You should look at aspects of Indian culture that have undermined them for 1000s of years such as the caste system and the enmity with Muslims and Hindu nationalism. There's a reason some Indians want more Western cultural influence in India. The conditions for women in India is another point.
She has no idea about history and doesn't seem to have any interest in it. She is just watching these vedioes just to get some likes and earn some bucks
I am not a "anti-american resentful soul", and I like your channel, but come on, you are wearing a USA t-shirt,, USA invaded Indian nations. In many ways is not comparable, but a lot of it has to do with what does conquerors did in their time. You may choose to see it as an expansion, an adventure, an inspiring achievement, but those generations who were raised following those conquerors probably learned to appreciate what their ancestors did as something glorious. There are always multiple perspectives.

Why did the British want India?
Why did the Greeks want Persia?
Why did the Romans want Greece?
Why did the Persians want Egypt?
We can keep asking these questions till the end of time. The truth is they wanted them because they knew they could take them, that's pretty much the only reason. Humans are a warlike people, it's no coincidence that in long times of peace human ingenuity and progression slows, whereas in wartime we can go from cavalry charges to tanks and air battles in just a few short years.
In the cold war America went from metal bombs that needed to be transported and dropped via airplane, to having the capacity to obliterate the Island of Ireland with a sonic pulse weapon from outer space if it got the urge to one day.
India has vast resources of jewels like diamonds rubies emeralds. Tea. So many spices! Lo5s of timber teak etc! Cotton which used to be bought from USA colonies! All to be plundered by the british!
I dont want to be cheeky but if you dabble in british history from 1500 onwards it would become much clearer ! The Dutch east india company did exactly what the british did across Indonesia!! Canada also had similar set up used by the brits as we colonised it.
Cecil Rhodes did a similar thing in Africa for britain! The old country of Rhodesia may give you a clue! Zealand is an area of Holland and that's how we get New Zealand.
Nova (new) Scotia (scotland) caledonia is an area of scotland but you may know new caledonia in Canada! Hawaii was found by captain cook a famous british explorer and we have the cook islands he also helped map the east coast of Australia where you may have heard of states like NEW SOUTH WALES AND VICTORIA. The list is colossal
British navy put limes in water barrels on ships to help stop scurvy and americans called brits limeys! Australia was a penal colony for the British where they call brits POMMS. the prisoners sent to australia had POHM written on their uniforms = prisoner of his majesty!!
Do you know at their height British East India company had an army twice the size of Royal British army
No indians call their country bharat or hindustan. India is a western name
Why don't you ask this question of "power hunger" from Ameria
Has anybody made the Harry Potter joke yet? Oh... they have; okay then.
Babur Mongolian name Barlas borjigon Mongolia okey mogul =Mongolia okey
Yeah europeans didn't conquer they just colonize. Lol
The use of elephants in war goes back thousands of years, but it was never very practical. They make for good platforms for archers and can crush enemies underfoot. However, elephants are difficult to control and easily panicked. Both the Romans and the Macedonians dealt with them quite effectively. In the end, the panicking elephants often killed more soldiers on their own side than on the enemy's.
You wanted a time frame at the start. I watched your Mongolian empire video, it dealt with ghengis khan in the 13th century. 1205 -1266 . So 300 years before the Moughal empire starts. This video talks about dynastic ancestry. I heard a statistic a few years ago that about 80% (?) Of the people of this region have dna that can be traced back to ghengis, he had a lot of wives and concubines, and enjoyed his conquests.
Alladin. I associate him with Baghdad and Iraq. He is one of the heroes from the tales of 1001 nights.
War elephants.
There is a long tadition of these animals being used. Remember The Carthaginian, Hanibal, used them to fight the Romans. He took some of them along when he crossed the Alps from France into Italy.
They were useful for breaking up enemy lines and formations, archers could fire down on the enemy from boxes (howdahs ) carried on their backs. I saw some elephant armour on display in the tower armouries in London. It would cover the head and shoulders of the elephant to protect it from arrows, spear thrusts etc.
East India Company.
Yes it had its own defensive forces. It's ships carried canon too. They were carrying and trading expensive products in volatile countries. It all needed protecting. They took advantage of unstable situations to push their own agenda. They wouldn't try and knock down a stable and thriving set up, they would just seek trade agreements with them. But if the opposition were crumbling they would move in to start running the show. Trade and economic wealth was their goal, running the place was subsidiary to that.
Muslims served in the British army to in ww1 and ww2. And there are 650 currently serving in the British army in 2020.
Muslims , sikh etc
Actually, whilst being of Indigenous descent I am no fan of Columbus, he called the Native People of our country "Indios"("People of God" in Italian),not "Indians".
don't confuse with the Word "INDIA" the word INDIA was given by Greeks . (because of Indus river)
the Persian called as "HINDOSTAN" even it is called by Europeans of western world, but the actual we Indian not called as INDIA , we called as "BHARATA VARSHA or BHARAT" because in Ancient Time it was called as BHARATA VARSHA or "ARYAVARTH" in our ancient text (written in Sanskrit) the whole land called as "BHARATA VARSHA or BHARAT" even in our constitution (Indian constitution) also refers " INDIA as " BHARAT" local Indian not called India they called Hindustan or Bharat. You should make review on Ancient India or on Ancient Indian text then you know ..!
There was no clear successor after the death of the king according to Mughal Traditions. The empire was then divided between siblings, therefore they try to kill each other to obtain all of the empire.
the British East India co. started out as a trading co but thought they needed an army so there were laws, their not liking the local laws. so imposed themselves on the area
the Indian princes could work under the east India company so it stayed. unfortunately, the company became too powerful so so the British government dissolved the company and declared Victoria as empress. that is as far as my secondary education took me the attraction of India it produced many of the spices and was greatly valued
That time all people have military mind , that how they live
Like US destroying Iraq Libya for what reason
Indian sub continenet includes modern days india,pakistan,bangladesh,srilanka
Trading and raiding is like hand in gloves them days
Genghis Khan was actually not so bad that we know. If you really want to know about Genghis Khans truth then you can check out Avijit chavdas video on Genghis Khan.
Actually Alexandar was more barbaric than Genghis Khan.
Was the founder of the Mughal Empire in Babur
For mighals were descendent of Genghis on mother's side.
Mughals never called themselves Mughal...the called themselves timurids and identified them with timurlane. Later they were named as Mughals by historians...
If you want to know about india...
Watch about:
ashoka(his royal emblem still used as national emblem)
Gupta..
Budhha...
And Gandhi
wrong. They called themselves Gurkhanis.. which means son-in-laws of the Khan. Firt learn history
Just about every 'ruler' faced challenges from others, including family. It was the way it was 'might is right'. Although heavily disguised might is right is still the driving factor within society. Henry VIII had his nearest challenger, Edward Stafford, executed. James II was deposed by his daughter and son in law.
Why British invade India ?good question but answer is so simple india is very wealthy and fertile especially pepper which known as black gold at that time British is economically nothing in front of India at that time so they invade india. India is most diverse country in the world linguisticly,religiously and culturally so British come up with the idea of divide and rule so they can invade all the wealth of India to do so British make conflicts between hindhu Muslim and sikhs and they fought each other’s and after so many years Indians united and they fought against British and India got independence Sorry for my poor English
go watch a wee vid ' 500 miles'. and watch a series on here, 'Heartbeat', tons of programmes', over a lot of years, will let you see a lot more of England.
All Muslim Empires Spain 800 India all Muslim Empires 560
India is not local language name it's an Greek name it was called mahabharat and maha is great which the Indian subcontinent which includes Bangladesh srilanka Pakistan Afghanistan india
Afghanistan is not part of the Indian subcontinent, the Indian subcontinent ends at Pakistan. Afghanistan is also geographically very disconnected to it due to the much higher altitude thanks to mountains
India was invaded untill 1947 it stopped by the outsiders or u can say perisan
They used elephants cuz they would scare horses
And about Aladdin you can watch "the convoluted origin of Aladdin" by cool history bros.
I really like the persona of tipu sultan I am indian tipu sultan was a great king
He haven't covered many things like british once loosed against aurangjeb and britain came for trade but they have seen indian kingdom fighting so we know what they do if you reply me i can send you a video link where you will get to know the actual reality
usa is also a conqured country
1. You are talking in a typical feminine ideal of a world, such as why conquer other nations and kill and why not live in harmony; well men specially in those times were dreaming of conquering lands and it is in man's nature to fight and leave his mark, like male lions extending their territory meaning more access to mating and preys. 2. Elephants were used to hold upto 10/20 men with specially made base on its back, where the fighters would use bow and arrow, just like lord of the rings.
"I didn't know they used elephants in wars..."
My jaw dropped. Could it be possible that this lady somehow missed out on Hannibal and Alexander the Great? Oh boy that journey of learning just got a lot longer... Let me get some pop corn, then let's go!
South Asia is called sub continent...
Next tamil kingdom in India
Subcontinent simply means Covered by water or sea on three sides .
Why do you want to know about tragic history of India, where Indians were genocided.
the british wanted India was fabulously wealthy. Like, fabulously
Also for spices, and to grow 3 cash-crops (cotton, tea and opium) ...
Cotton because we needed cloth and America wouldn't sell us cotton from the Southern States after 1776.
Opium to trade with the Chinese, even though we knew its sale was forbidden in China (we mainly swapped it for tea, until we stole and smuggled a tea bush out of China).
Tea once we "liberated" a bush from China because it's our national drink.
For wealth and also for controlling the trade routes to it
You are so Welsh!
We have never invaded anyone

money.
Poor video, history should never be used to point fingers at others in later times, that's the quickest way to stir up hatred. Even with actions within someone's lifetime you can't really paint all people with the same brush. Individuals are responsible not a whole people.
You should look at aspects of Indian culture that have undermined them for 1000s of years such as the caste system and the enmity with Muslims and Hindu nationalism. There's a reason some Indians want more Western cultural influence in India. The conditions for women in India is another point.
like for your efforts
Let me explain to you if you dont try how do you know it ca

You talk too much in between
Poor background wale bapph hain tumhare
She has no idea about history and doesn't seem to have any interest in it. She is just watching these vedioes just to get some likes and earn some bucks
I am not a "anti-american resentful soul", and I like your channel, but come on, you are wearing a USA t-shirt,,
USA invaded Indian nations.
In many ways is not comparable, but a lot of it has to do with what does conquerors did in their time.
You may choose to see it as an expansion, an adventure, an inspiring achievement, but those generations who were raised following those conquerors probably learned to appreciate what their ancestors did as something glorious.
There are always multiple perspectives.
