@ RomikOnLine - Along the animation there's actual narration. Can't say much else other than to listen to it. It said that the Russian principalities were either subjugated or vassalized. I've got nothing against Ukraine nor any reason to represent Ukrainians in a bad light lol. Hope that clears it up a bit. Cheers mate.
This, and all the other historical youtube channels, remind me of the glory days of the History Channel before they were conquered by Ancient Aliens. Thank you!

2:37 a small mistake hungarian king killled the envoy which was against mongol rules of hospitality.
That Austrian duke though. "Helps" the king then leaves after a quick victory. Then he proceeds to capture the king and annex three of his counties. SUPER helpful lol.
Cam Brubacher Feudal Europe man. Ever kings sought to seem regal and chivalrous while they endeavour to undermine their cousins’ positions. If it wasn’t for this power game, the Byzantines would not have fallen.
Thats Hapbsburgs for you or pretty much every other feudal lord in Europe but the Hapbsburgs were on the top of the game in that respect eventually going on to control large portion of central Europe.

@@andrasprohaszka3512 oops, thx for the correction! What was the battle he died in? I was always wondering how the Bambergs got extinct.
Pretty fascinating how for a greed the whole dynasty goes extinct!

Great job. Keep it up!
Hey guys! Thank you kindly. Much appreciated!
Kings and Generals you should do a collaboration you two
👍 You never know what the future holds. I'm currently collaborating with EpicHistoryTV on a new series, but after that I'm open to new possibilities.
HistoryMarche Wow !!! Good for you !
HistoryMarche you can try with Invicta
I read that the Mongols pulled out because their Grand Khan died and so they had to all go back to Mongolia to choose a new Grand Khan.
Yup, Ogadei (Great Khan at the time, Khengis son) died from an infected wound that didn't heal because he loved booze too much. His death meant the return of all the Mongol generals to the capital. This happened a few times that saved many nations from being conquered.
They went back to fight for the throne
Yet there are some European nations that celebrate as a part of their national holidays and folklore, ''victory'' over Mongols.
A lot of lies were told in history but internet debunked their lies like no one else. It's so easy to get info these days.
@@SilverforceX Batu didn't go for a choice.
Also, they did not elect a khan for five years.
Then why did they leave?
@@kolobara08
They celebrate the fact that they defeated the mongols because that's what happened historically lol...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Mongol_invasion_of_Hungary
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Mongol_invasion_of_Poland
Damn mongol fanboys
The fact that a unified political entity waged war from Korea to Hungary in the 1240s!!!! is just mind-meltingly epic.
USSR ?
and at the same time putting rebellious
Is it me or the mongols had an entire array of very competent generals during that century.
They did have quite impressive generals in those days.
The wonders of meritocracy :)
Subotai, Jebe, Jelme, Borchu, Mughlai, Hulagu, Baidar....list goes on and on...
Of course they were great generals, mongols were constantly at war. Practice makes perfect. Read the Genghis Khan books by Conn Igulden for an exciting adventure spanning several novels
Their generals were tribal leaders and thus were capable on meeting logistical needs on the fly while they were also provided with captured engineers which were crucial in capturing forts and of course like in this case building bridges/siege weaponry. Without the engineers work or the military capability of their generals the Mongols would have stayed an irrelevant group of nomadic tribes.
Massive congrats on that 1k buddy!!!! You'll be at 10,000 in no time ;)
Thanks mate! It seems rather strange, this sudden hike in views/subs count. It jumped suddenly within the last 5 hours, I'm actually investigating this.
EDIT: I gotta catch up on videos over on your channel, missed a bunch of them. Working on a two projects so I'm swamped...
You make great content so it makes perfect sense. Very intrigued to see what's coming next!
It’s at 5k now!!!
It all started from this comment 2 years ago you had 1k and now nearly 400k this is such a great historical moment ♥️
1k more like 349k
Historia Civilis, Baz Battles, Kings and Generals and now you, I love these type of videos, especially if they are made with care, just like you do!
Thank you kindly. It sure does take a lot of work.
Tzun Tsu was right about the morale effects for having a retreat.
- in the first battle, the Mongols were with their back to the river. So they could not really retreat. While the Hungarians had a "safe" camp to retreat too
- And then again. the southern escape route being left seemingly open got people to flee - to be cut down.
This was a favourite by Subutai. Whenever the enemy ran to the safety of an encampment, he'd surround the position and pepper it with projectiles until all morale breaks in the defenders in which a convenient gap is left for them to flee. This is obviously a killing field where they would be hunted down like animals. He'd rather have the enemy flee in panic to be cut down in small groups rather than letting them stand and fight to the death to avoid extra casualties.
@@googane7755 They did conquer China before this, so either they read the book or realized the same things independantly.
@@christopherg2347 I think this was discovered independently since most mongols were illiterate and they commonly fought among each other during that period which as a result the mongols had an army full of veteran generals. Also the the Song Dynasty was still unconquered (where I believe Sun Tzu was from) unless his work was stored away elsewhere.
@@christopherg2347 China (Song) was the last to be conquered, the Jin were mostly 'Jurchens' from Manchuria; hence why Han Chinese defected en-mass to the Mongols during the conquest of Jin. Han Chinese were the infantry and (along with Muslims) the siege engineers of the Mongol army. Mongols almost never fought on foot.
The book is called Military Tactics of Sunzi or 孫子兵法 (Sun Tzu in older spelling). Good point!
This is an incredible breakdown especially the timeline in minute detail. I am impressed with the way you expressed the battle formations as well. That was very helpful in visualize the action on the battlefield as it unfolded. Thanks for doing this. I never researched or studied the Mongol incursions into Europe and this was very interesting and enlightening.
This totally helped me in knowing wtf was going on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
I mean the events of Kingdom Come were considerably later during the early 1400's, about 200 years after the battle, though the Cumans nonetheless still remained in Hungary.
Go play or watch M2TW mod for more.
How is that game btw? I’ve thought of getting it but I don’t know anyone who has personally played it.
Ler Cameron I think it was worth the money. It has a good story progression and runs fairly well. It's alittle buggy but it's understandable. Kept me busy for 2 weeks or so.
@@Draconic_Mantis the mongols attacked the kingdom of Hungary for several hundred years
Amazing work! I really liked the huge amount of detail that you put into this video. You mentioned a lot of important stuff that I missed from other videos, like the cumans and the hate from the nobility towards Béla. I absolutely loved the map of the battlefield too with all the correct names of the settlements (there is 1 or 2 misspelled names but it's more than okay), it really shows your dedication. Thanks for this great video you just got yourself a new subscriber.
What a backstabbing by the Austrians.
Indeed, Frederick II is also a big suspect in the death of Khan Koten. So many domestic and foreign political figures wanted to destabilize Hungary in the wake of the Mongol invasion.
Oh yes they always did this. 300 years later in 1526 when the ottomans invaded Hungary, Austrians did the same, they took control of the north-western part of Hungary and compromised with the Turks.
Game of Thorne level of betrayal right there....sad chapter part in Hungarian history.
It's just usual..
Yes, good point (there was also the Emperor Frederick who wanted to weaken Hungary because Bela stood by the Pope.) From what I have read Frederick and his mounted knights captured a group of Tatars that was raiding in the area of Gyor zupa (county) I would have to double check the exact place, these captured raiders turned up to be Cumans because Mongols (Tatars) employed all sorts of ethnicities from their conquered territories and sent them to the forefront to cause havoc before the main army swooped down. Frederick kept a few alive and brought them to Pest to show people "the enemy" Hungarians were already averse to Cumans because they continued to live their nomadic livestyle, pillaging, trampling orchards, fields, raping women, stealing cattle...Czecho-slovak historian Dvorak wrote in his Book (Stopy Davnej minulosti) that after the complains became too numerous, Bela tried to break up Cumans and spread them out across Hungary. (Initially he settled them between the river Moros and Koros - tributaries of river Tisa, because this marshy area wasn't populated.). Sadly it was too late. People were frightened and believed that Cumans living among them were on the side of Tatars and were turning against them so they killed Kotten. Of course this is just what Frederick and Bela's HUngarian enemies (whose lands were returned back to the crown) wanted. Frederick held grudge against Bela for the money he had to pay him over territorial squabble. At this point Frederick also understood that he was incapable to produce an heir, I imagine that was a huge thorn in his side, making him Frederick the Quarrelsome.
Amusing to see the battle of Legnica mentioned as a minor sideshow. In Polish historiography Legnica was THE battle fought against the Mongol invasion. Most Poles will never have heard of Mohi, even though it was 5 to 10 times bigger and far more important in the campaign as a whole.
The Demand for channels like this outweighs the current RUclips Supply. Super happy to see another quality channel filling that gap. Keep up the awesome content!
I feel like more of these history channel's appear randomly. And I love it.. Keep the good work
I watched all four of your videos and I like how you give a info chart on the leaders. I liked also how you show the battles detailing the environment to get a better understanding of the location. Especially when you are explaining how the Mongols were watching their every move the way you showed it was classic. Keep up the good work. Looking forward for more and gets even better.
Yeah, I was hoping people will like the binoculars :D
Absolute Gem of a Channel! Keep up the good work bro!
Just found this channel and I have to say this is awesome. Well researched, well animated and understandable. Instant sub!
"Fake nobles! Sad!"
You just won internet for the day
Haha! Thank you.
I search the comments if anyone else noticed the Trump reference!
You did not disappoint!
I had no idea about this battle but with your narration it's so interesting
Came from Bazbattles. Nice videos. Just remove the bong sound effects with maybe the sound of a flag flapping. Loved the detail. Keep it up. You are very enthusiastic !
Thank you very much! Welcome to the channel. And thanks a lot for the suggestion! I've had people suggesting to change the boing sound, your suggestion for the 'flag flapping' is an awesome idea!
HistoryMarche thanks. Appreciate the reply!!!!
Yeah, the bong sound is the only nitpick I have about these videos. Especially when they pop up one after the other, it just sounds too cartoony when set against the rest of the video style.
Just don't make the sound effects to loud, its more about you and the storytelling ;P
The sounds are for extra immersion, but it gets annoying if it's to loud.
Good luck :D
Yep, the videos are great. I've watched all of the similar channels videos, and surely the boing needs to be removed :P Keep it up!
During the three videos of yours I've watched over the past hour, you've gained 300 new subs. That's a pretty phenomenal rate given that your base subscriptions arn't all that high at present. If it continues at that rate you'll be knocking on 100k subs in no time. Content wins prizes :)
I guess the videos are being shared on social media and elsewhere. Thank you guys for helping out!
thanks for the video, despite the tragic subject it was entertaining and informative
i have learned details of our history i was unaware of before
I really like how some of the units were labeled really makes it easier to follow and understand!!
Very well done! A high quality video visually, and I was impressed with your research here. While I think your coverage of the reasons for the Mongol westward expansion could have been given more detail, as with the period after the defeat at Mohi (you do cover it in the cards at the end, and understandably there is a limit to have much information you can put in one video) the campaign itself was well covered. The context of the battle is very important to have clear to understand why it is important, and I think it is worth the effort to spend more time on that and shave a little bit off the battle itself (but that's just me, as someone who is more interested in the historical period rather than the actual battle)
Perhaps a bit more on the army composition and fighting styles would be a good addition, and who is on each side and their significance, which makes it easier to relate to the impact of political factors on the campaigns. Not to mention showing which generals are on which side in a card perhaps of sorts? You mention Shiban at one point, one of Jochi's sons and Batu's brother, but I don't think had mentioned him prior to then, making him come out of nowhere somewhat.
The pronunciation of the Mongolian names was perhaps a bit weak (Chinggis Khan, not Genghis!) but I did like that you said Pest properly! Overall nicely done, very impressive and I definitely look forward to more!
Love the video, We need more of this!!
Mongols is the only faction that whenever I watch a battle analysis video, their moves actually make sense...
Keep up the good work, i really liked some details about the major personas that are not mentioned in other channels' videos. The channel is going to grow fast if you keep it that way
Nice and simple..
Keep it up..
Lets do it guys, supporting them
This is everything I’ve ever wanted from a history channel
Put this guy on the "history" channel instead of ice truckers and American pickers or aliens
Very good work on this channel! Keep it up! Very informative and pleasant to watch.
Great vid! These are very well done and the text bubbles add some good humor
Great videos so far man! However, I'd love to see some satisfactory effects when the troops clash with each other. Awesome!
The animation is very great to bring children to learn more history. Keep up the great work
love your works guys, it's fun to watch!
Thank you kindly. Always great to receive positive feedback from longtime subscribers.
What I found especially interesting, the use of artillery. The ballistrads were mostly used against fortresses and cities. In very few occasions were mentioned in plain battles. These were not effective due to their short range, extremly heavyness and cumbersome transportability. I witnessed one during work, even helped to prepare the shot. It shoot a human head sized stone to one hundred and fifty meters. Then it took almost ten minutes to shoot again. So this machine could kill one or two man in every ten minutes.
Love the Civ-like presentation - works really well! Keep it up! Great reporting.
Thank you sir. The design is definitely influenced by games such as Civ, heck I used to spend days on end playing as a child.
Excellent, high quality. Perfect balance of entertaining and informative!
Thank you. That is the goal! :D
Thanks to channels like this one I'm able to put down a playlist with historic battles. Thanks!
Thank you for watching.
Your channel is underrated. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the nice words.
This is some good stuff, it's a pleasure to watch!
thank u for introducing such many crucial details for the battle
Thank you for watching.
I stumbled upon your channel from BazBattles. Your channel is interesting and I believe it's new. Anyway it's really fun to watch your content. Keep up the awesome work! Will check out your other videos as well. I'm a big fan of European history.
Great content! Good job!
To this day it is one of the most amazing things that Mongols were using
20th century level high grade military tactics in 13th century.

Love all the little dialogue bubbles...makes it so entertaining...keep it up and this channel will be ...YUGE :)
Thank you kindly and welcome to the channel!
I enjoy this growing trend of animating historical events, and your presentation is of very high quality. Dinamic narration that manages to capture wider picture, and explanatory progression in just the right measure.
edit: Noticed in comments it is inevitable to mention KaG, as they presented yesterday the same event. I appreciate their show too, but.. quality takes time (and, in many cases, much more creativity than shown). So, keep up the good work, I am certain it will be worthy of your effort very soon.
Thank you very much. Very much appreciate your comment!
Good video man, keep up the good work
Absolutely loved the narration and the pop up's hahahahahaha EPIC!
Well explained. I enjoyed the video.
Great video!
I appreciate you pushed your research far enough to learn the correct pronouncing of polish city names
3:16 bet the Hungarian king started regretting putting his Kingdom on the line to protect the Cumens just about now.
Mongols would have found another reason to invade anyway. At least with Cuman Auxiliary troops he had a better chance of repelling the Mongols.
Mongols were bunch of liars. Their agreements were abosulety worthless.
@@laszu7137 nash they weren't, unless you disrespected them.
by all means he ended up regretting taking them in since their participation was very harmful in the end
@@DKNkmFrvr What i heard that the Hungarians treated them extremely bad that could be the reasons why they didnt wanted too die for them.
This is awesome bro keep going
Glad I found this channel, great content here
Thank you sir.
Would love to see more, I really like these types of channel and with the understandably slow production time theres too few videos released!
With this kind of animation production time takes quite a bit of time.
Best animated battles video ive ever seen! Amazing! keep it up
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Amazing video! Nice work.
Hey man! Thanks for stopping by :)
One of my favorite things that kings & generals does, is the animation they have for destroyed units in battle, i think adding something similar would be quite nice! awesome docs so far tho man, keep it up
Thank you for the kind words. Guess it's a matter of preference. I prefer the gradual cracking of units. It coveys better the gradual loses a unit takes during combat as opposed to a sudden burst like a light bulb. To each his own I guess.
Awesome video. I like your somewhat humorous approach.
Once again amazing quality and narration. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@HistoryMarche see, hire Alex again pls.
very well done video... thank you!

I love war banner shadows! Great Channel! The narrator has really smooth voice and accent is perfect for not native speakers like me! Thanks
You honestly did a better job presenting this than Kings and Generals did. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Personally I like the KaG presentation.
HistoryMarche Kings and Generals did a good job but I really found your video style more engaging/interestingly to watch
@OrmanyJozsa indeed,he is an exceptional bureaucrat but not a good general,he should've make Coloman his brother as the supreme commander of the army
You deserve more subs
Well done, Thanks!
Great job mate you're amazing
Historian 1: How should we call this battle? It was between two villages. One is Muhi but that sounds lame
Historian 2: And the other?
Historian 1: Nagycsécs (literally means Big Tit, or Great Teat, archaically)
Historian 2: Uhh.. Let's just stick to Battle of Muhi...
ahhh how much i'd love that to be "Nagycsécs" aka big tits.
anything but tits.
they're holy, you know
It is Mohi not Muhi, Muhi is the battle in 1848 i believe 🙂
@@Sudungarn It is Muhi, not Mohi. There was a battle of Mohács, but that was in 1526.
Nagycsécs is hart to pronounce. Muhi is wise choise i think
Battle of Big Tits would be far more popular!
Great content! I just came from Kings and Generals and Bazbattles. Keep it up man. I think we see great start of a great channel ;)
Awesome video! Thank you!
Wow! great job! I really enjoy listening to the voice behind the video
Meritocracy vs Nepotism, I wonder who would win.
Great job! It's amazing to finally see a quality production about a slice of Hungarian history on youtube. I know that there are good reasons why people always stick to England / France / Germany / Italy, but this region of Europe has some very interesting bits and stories to tell as well. Although it is mostly quite sad.
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed the video.
Agócs, I think you don't know much about Hungarian military history.
@@chriswanger284 But we already know about victorious Hungarian military battles, lets look you win in battle of Lech 955, then you won the battle of Muhi 1421, the Mohacs 1526, in battle of Vilagos 1848 and you almost win in Stalingrad in 1942. so you are great military wariors... :-)
@@Bynk333 The last thee were fought against world superpowers, Mongols, Ottomans, Habsburgs+Russians
Great animation, keep up the good work!
You did a great job! keep it up!
Thank you Guys, history is my passion...
Just a small information: IV. Bela lost all battles where he personally attended. And his lack of military powress was well known even when he became the king, and more of that, he alianated all his faters supporters. So that is the main reasons of the loss of battle of Muhi (not Mohi!). However the mongol army could only to cross the Danube on winter: the nobility (who werent at Muhi) has the power to controll the potential crossings. But thw winter of 1241/1242 was cold, and the Danube froze...
Another awesome video from history marche
your videos are amazing dude
Correct video. I'm Hungarian, and the story is quite correct.
Except Mohi is Muhi correctly....
maybe i thinks it's hungarian millitarys biggest shame they outnumbered than mongolians 3 for 1 but they killed like a sheep in fence
@@idealdarkness75 And Coloman is Kálmán ;) (I understand it's not easy to transcibe to english, but at least the number of syllables could be right :) ). But otherwise, yeah, the whole video is quite correct.
@@Starcos Well... both. Kálmán, the king of Halics (Halych) is Коломан by the folks there.
@@lxathu Thanks, I didn't know that :) And it proves, that people don't know everything, even if they have masters degree in history ;)))
This hs become my fav channel of late.....love the game like animation.!!
Frederick II: My job here is done.
Bela: But you didn't do anything.
Best content on youtube. Ty 😀
Holy moly. Please more.
beautiful rendering of history !!
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the video!!!!!
Thank you for watching.
i am enjoying your videos so much , finally got something entertaining and educational when i was about to lose hope on RUclips
Thank you sir.
I really appreciate you trying to pronounce city names with modern accents. Your "Wrocław" was 99% on point, nice.
King Bela's decision to take in and protect the treacherous Cumans is a lesson for all of us
Thanks for the brilliant narrating the event.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just discovered your channel via epice history, i allways tell people we have the Hungarians to thank for so much more then we think we do, great video looking forward to watching all your future content:)
Great to see people taking an interest in my channel due to collaboration with EHTV. Welcome!
Just want to add one thing, im a avid collector of military antiques, living in Australia and in my state theres only two shops that run this sort of business, ive gone to many pawn shops to see if i can sell the items i collect and i get the same answer time and time again that people primarily the young ( im 31) just dont want to remember or care about history in general, but our history like this battle you've presented in fantastic detail has had the biggest effect on how the world is today, im glad to see someone else shedding light on such important events from our species past
Great job bro !!!!
You just got a new subscriber !
Welcome to the channel! 👍
Very nice details and great video! This lefting small gap tactic reminded me Battle of Manzikert 1071
fantastic video. hope to see more. thank you
Thank you kindly.
