Whenever i read about the Almoravids and Almohads I have this feeling of a great potential pissed away. They were pratically the same, ethnically, religiously, socially, although Almohad caliphs have more of a tendency to "lose their nerves", imagine what they could've accomplished if they joined forces instead of messing it up just to be "in charge" And finally they mutually destroyed each other, as I think you'll get to that in the next video, Almohads were a major factor in the end of the Almoravids from the south, and Banu Ghania (Almoravids remnants) were a major factor in the end of Almohad from the east. such a waste.
@@dzpower189 who told you that? Both of those states are a mix of the 3 amazigh tribal branches zenaga zenata and masmuda and even if they lost battles they’re still the 2 greatest states in the history of Andalus and North Africa
they are not the same, they genocided each other many times (their tribes confederations) they hated each other more than spain hated muslims back then
Why weren't they adapting to siege warfare? Couldn't they hire engineers among the Andalusians or educate some of their officers? Sorry if I sound annoyed but they just didn't learn anything from the morabet.
Frankly, throughout the history of Islam in Spain, they never really had a successful big siege. The borders of Islamic Iberia were sent in 711 or so and stayed that way, never expanded. Never really expanded. Muslims were good at field battle but laying siege on European terrain was difficult for them. Finding supplies and dealing with the Christians was just not something that they were able to do. That's why I believe Muslims would've never been able to conquer Europe even if they had won at Tours. I don't think there were good siege engineers in Muslim Iberia. They should've brought some from Egypt and Baghdad but well...
Spanish geography is a nightmare for conquering forces, it's not a coincidence that the term guerrilla is Spanish, and then on top of that you have the problematic of invading a land plagued with castles, it's an attrition kind of warfare without many decisive battles, plus Almohad center of power was north Africa, not Spain, which increased the cost of campaigning greatly, it's the lost at the battle of the Navas of Tolosa what bankrupted Almohad.
Almohads took 3 castles, they took Silves, they conquered all the castles and fortified towns of Norman Africa. They did have siege engines but siege was difficult in medieval period. Its not a "special trait" of almohads or almoravids, and almohads were not desert warriors, they were mostly mountain tribes of atlas and the plains of western morocco. You dont build an empire if you dont know how to siege.
@@nazeem8680it’s almost become a trend for RUclips historians to shit on the Almohads siege capability, under great rulers it’s clearly something they were able to do, expansion andalus just doesn’t seem to have been a priority
Kafur might've been a given name. It means, "Non-Muslim" as far as I know. A lot of black slaves had this "name". It's also a word that's banned in South Africa (I think) because it's an offensive slang for Africans.

Do you think "Andalusi" would be a good replacement for terms like "Moors" or "Spanish Musilims" when talking about this period? I ask because Flash Point History used the term "Andalusi" once in one of his videos, and I have not been able to get it out of my head since...
In the modern day, Andalusia refers to a region of Spain. However, in the past, al-Andalus was more an idea than a literal region. It was the region of Iberia that was under Muslim control. Whether it stretched to the Tagus or just the southern mountains. So, yeah, Andalusi would be a good term. Moor, itself, doesn't really mean anything.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT It's still heavily assosiated with the old Iberian Muslims expecifically, and (saddly) used as a racist term sometimes (many times). I used to think it was a pretty racist thing to say, but then I realized the old Iberian Musilms could have ended up being called "Muhammadtians" (seriously, it was a thing).
@@silveryuno muslims in various countries call themselves mohammadeans or the followers of Prophet Muhammed doesn't seem all that racist to me although context can differ from region to region.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT I'll look into that book. May I suggest you cover other less known aspects of Islamic history, such as the Ibado imamates of North Africa, or the history of North Africa? By the way, I also do Islamic history videos, but with waaay less visual quality than yours
