I find it very interesting that the Mongol and Roman Empires respectively had similar declines but from opposite sides.

It was a great pleasure to hear about the history of the Golden Horde stripped away from the layer of myths we were told at history lessons in Russia. People like Mamay or Ahmed Khan are poured into us without historical context or pretext, Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimean Khanate are just given, as if they were there for the Muscovite princes/tsars to be captured, and the tribute/gift of Russian tsars to the Crimea that lasted well into XVIII century is omitted. It is also worth mentioning that, just like Mughal Timurids of India, Moscow princes, starting with the Novgorod knyaz Alexandre Nevski, were actually gurgans i.e. they were married to or descended from Genghisid princesses. If you look at the reconstruction of Ivan IV skull, his Mongoloid appearance is unmistakable - just a good deal of Mongol blood is unmistakable my own family.
The Kazakh Khanate was a direct descendant of the Mongol Empire. From the moment of formation in 1457 until the collapse in 1822, all the khans of the Kazakh Khanate were from the Tore clan. This clan is the direct descendants of Genghis Khan, from his eldest son Zhoshy. Many Mongol tribes that invaded Central Asia in 1210-1220 then assimilated into the Turkic linguistic and cultural environment, and by the 15th century the Turkic and Mongol tribes finally mixed up. The Kazakh Khanate was a confederation of precisely these tribes. For example, I am a Kazakh, born in the South-East of Kazakhstan. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe, whose representatives were mentioned in the video. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe (translated as "tearing the horse's mane"), subgenus Akbuyim. The Zhalaiyrs as part of the Kazakhs are the descendants of the medieval Dzhalairs. V.V. Bartold referred the ethnonym Jalair to the number of names of "genera of originally Mongolian origin". As I.P. Petrushevsky wrote, with a high degree of probability it can be argued that the Jalairs of the 13th century. belonged to the Mongol-speaking tribes. The closest comrade-in-arms and commander of Genghis Khan Mukhali was from this tribe. In the 13th century, our then Mongol-speaking tribe arrived in this area from Western Mongolia. Further, during the formation of the Kazakh Khanate, they became part of it. The Kazakhs include many such tribes, when you were former Mongols or Mongol-speaking. Now various Turkic and Mongol tribes make up the Kazakh people. Here is the answer to the question "where did the Mongols disappear?". They didn't disappear. Their descendants live throughout the steppe zone of Asia, as part of various once nomadic tribes who adopted the Turkic language because of its dominance and prevalence in trade along the Silk Road. Everything that I have just written is not fiction, you can read about the composition of the then Mongols of the 13th century and compare it with the list of tribes that make up the Kazakh people.

I’m the Khongirad of the Buryad-Mongols, and what you talking about is the lie. Kazakh people always forget to say about the bloodline they share and you quiet don’t understand even how Mongols related with each other. Your clan is direct descendants of the Kiyad, Chonos, Uryankhai, Khongirad. And we still believe in Tengri (the Sky, the Universe, the Sun and the Moon, the entropy). Your ancestors are kids of my ancestors. We still speak own language and respect our bloodline. But your people change language, religion, how you can be higher that your father? It’s impossible. If your are not agree than you are not from bloodline. The bloodline shared by Y-chromosome C2 haplogroup. So even if you have this bloodline, it doesn’t matter cause you don’t understand the meaning of life of the Mongol nomad.

quality as always ,I love this channel I hope you are going to do some more vids about Italy , Asia and the Balkan peninsula, the history in this areas is enormous
@@justfly7730 Yeah but let's be real, the 13th century Mongols were a hard people. If you weren't hardboiled, you didn't survive your childhood. As they say, hard times breed strong people. Strong people bring easy times. Easy times breed soft people. And then soft people bring hard times. And the wheel turns this way. I have the luxury of being a soft man, unable to imagine the strengths required to do what these people did, but if we were both born in 13th century Mongolia, we'd either die in childhood or be strong enough to follow our Khan. And to BE the Khan, yeah. That takes a special breed of alpha-ness that I do not possess. Temujin was an extremely strong man, both mentally and physically, for sure.

After Kublai’s death in 1294, the Mongol Empire fragmented. Many of his successors were inept, and none attained Kublai’s stature. From 1300 on disputes over succession weakened the central government in China, and there were frequent rebellions. The Yuan Dynasty fell in 1368, overthrown by the Chinese rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, The most enduring part of the Mongol Empire proved to be the Golden Horde. It had begun to decline significantly in the mid-14th century
Golden Horde survived longer due to infighting between the Russians and Slavs. They also occupied the Steppe which helped to maintain their lifestyle and culture. However, the ethnic Mongols were slowly usurped by the Kypchaks due to intermarriage and Turkic influence due to higher Turkic population. The majority of the Steppe population of the Golden Horde were Kypchaks and they unintentionally caused the Golden Horde to transform unofficially back to the Kypchak Confederation. The Golden Horde was Mongol all but in name during its last years.
Hello, friends from KnG!!! Excellent work as always! Let me ask you a question: How do you manage to produce several 30 min plus videos about history and geography and publish them weekly?? Do you have multiple teams working? Who researches and writes the scripts? How big is your team?
Divided to United to Divided once more. The Mongols reverted back to how this all started out--squabbling amongst themselves. History has a twisted sense of humor and irony.
@@gompedyret It's like rain on your coronation day It's a rebellion in a city you already waylaid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought, it figures
Korea was subjugated by Khan army. I still remember the stories of 500 children roped and transported through the snowy mountains to northward to be trained to become Khan’s future soldiers. I also read that some of the escapees had their hands drilled with a hole to insert rope through it to set an example to other children what could happen in attempt of escape during travel. Not sure how accurate it is.
We have similar stories in eastern Europe as well. If you tried to run away than the Mongols sliced open your feet and stuffed them full of dirt before sewing them back up
@@SA2004YG I read that similar practice is still done in Africa I believe but intention is to heal not punishment. The dirt or mud on a open wounds can have healing effect from the germs that could be very harmful but I’m not sure how this fits into your story but if they took effort in “sewing” then it was probably to close the wound(s)?
@@bruceyung70 no I'm from Belarus but live in the states now. Yes they stuffed the soles of feet full of dirt after cutting them open then sewed the dirt inside the feet. Sorry if I wasn't clearer
Their brutality is not surprising. Like the Huns 900 years before them or Gog and Magog 1800 years before them. I wonder what other scourge from north Asia that will descend upon us in about 100 years from now according to historical estimation.
The only thing I'll add to this excellent video is that while Kublai's usurpation was "officially" illegal since it wasn't a kurultai, let's not forget that Genghis himself likely would have approved of this move in spirit. Temujin killed his older brother, who would have rightfully been the head of the house when he was a teenager. He also made sure that before he ever called the kurultai in which he was proclaimed Genghis Khan, he eliminated any who might 'nay' his claim to that title. Ariq did not do the same, and his stronger brother prevailed. Very Genghis move if you ask me on Kublai's part. Genghis had a very 'the strong should lead with strength' mentality.

A Chinese high official said words to the Great Khan :It is a wonderful thing to conquor and create a great Empire but it is not possible to rule it on the back of a horse.
i just watch your videos no matter the content!!!!! Very informative and you help ordinary people really comprehend the concept! keep the great work 💯💯💯💯
Well, that's a big achievement, but population is much more important. Ghenghis is probably the second greatest, While Alexander the Great controlled 25 % of worlds population.
By the way there was no america that time, + africa was almost free, could be easily taken, so i say only lelfovers where Japan and islands of Britain as they were seperated from the continent
I watched the previous parts as they were released and almost skipped this one, but you have added new material! I think you should mention that in the video description, it is unclear to some viewers
I was just wondering for a long time why Kings and Generals didn't upload for such a long time but it turned out i got unsubbed. Welp, glad i just came back in time to enjoy a long form video.
I've been subscribed since the Battle of Trafalgar (no, not since 1805, you know what I mean) and together with creators like HistoryMarche, Epic History TV, Historia Civilis and many others, I've been convinced for years that television simply cannot compete, except for some obvious classics like Shoah, World at War, The Civil War (Ken Burns), Apocalypse: La premiere guerre mondiale etc, I'm just deflated anytime I turn on Discovery or the History channel. On the off chance (5%) that they actually have something historical, it's usually some generic talking head formulaic trash that you just know was made without any love going in to it. Shame on them for being easily bested by dudes making history docs without any large studio or network backing them up, shame.
Genghisid princes continued to rule in Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan and the caucasus like the Khanate of Bukhara,the Kazakh Khanate,the Crimean khanate etc till the 18th century.Without the advent of firearms,a capable Genghisid prince of the caliber of Timurlane might have reunited the Mongol empire as the Genghisid lineage still held a symbolic awe if the person was capable.Also non Genghisid mongol origin empires like the Barlas Mughals,Oirat Dzhungars,Manghud Nogais etc continued to rule in one place or other.They all owe their existence to the march of Genghis Khan outside Mongolia.
This compilation video really feels like the end of a long story of Mongol Empire that was started by K&G years ago (2019, I think). But there is still so much more to talk about the sucessors of Genghis (especially Timurids and Mughals). One era may have ended and a new one is about to begin.
Can’t speak highly enough of this channel! The work K&G do is truly amazing! Thank you for feeding my interest and curiosity in history for the last several years!
@circularlogicisround best strategic planning, logistics, used tactics to overcome far superior enemies through maneuverability and exploiting weak points. Don't get in your feelings this purely based on capabilities and strategies not morals in any way.
When you do your Roman history videos, could you please go back to using some cinematics from ROME II total war? They were such masterpieces, and really immersed you into the time period.
As an Uzbek, nice to hear the story of Uzbek khan. Mongols are children of Qeturah, wife of Abraham. It is incredible how Temuchin built a legacy which will be talked until the day of judgement
its funny i was playing in as part of the mongol army in crusader kings 3 and the holy roman empire came as we were having civil war in mongol territories and then a big ass army with 50k man came and wipe us out as we only had 25k man power to defend on two fronts and then my bloodline was taken out then it was gameover lol

Kublai lived to 78, Genghis to 65 and Timur to 68.
It's wild how the ones who lived long drunk just as much as the ones who died in their 30s.
But the early mongol khans weren’t suffering from familial inbreeding! That’s the key difference between early/late khans.

These guys have Mongol documentaries, ww2 series, Ceasar, even fantasy favorites like star wars and lord if the rings:) no shortage of great content you didn't know you wanted to learn about. fantastic channel indeed
I used to say they remind me of the old history channel but I have come to the conclusion they are better, amazing content and editing
"“Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard” - Genghis Khan
You’ve made huge work guys. None of the Russian history channels on youtube didn’t get closer to your detailed masterpiece videos about Nomads or medievals Mongols.
Huge respect to your brilliant channel K&G!

This was an excellent video and the narrator reminding me of the voice of Terrance and Phillip from South Park was a great bonus.
It was a great pleasure to hear about the history of the Golden Horde stripped away from the layer of myths we were told at history lessons in Russia. People like Mamay or Ahmed Khan are poured into us without historical context or pretext, Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimean Khanate are just given, as if they were there for the Muscovite princes/tsars to be captured, and the tribute/gift of Russian tsars to the Crimea that lasted well into XVIII century is omitted.
It is also worth mentioning that, just like Mughal Timurids of India, Moscow princes, starting with the Novgorod knyaz Alexandre Nevski, were actually gurgans i.e. they were married to or descended from Genghisid princesses. If you look at the reconstruction of Ivan IV skull, his Mongoloid appearance is unmistakable - just a good deal of Mongol blood is unmistakable my own family.
I found it interesting hear this history of the East of Europe. I never heard about it.
The Kazakh Khanate was a direct descendant of the Mongol Empire. From the moment of formation in 1457 until the collapse in 1822, all the khans of the Kazakh Khanate were from the Tore clan. This clan is the direct descendants of Genghis Khan, from his eldest son Zhoshy. Many Mongol tribes that invaded Central Asia in 1210-1220 then assimilated into the Turkic linguistic and cultural environment, and by the 15th century the Turkic and Mongol tribes finally mixed up. The Kazakh Khanate was a confederation of precisely these tribes. For example, I am a Kazakh, born in the South-East of Kazakhstan. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe, whose representatives were mentioned in the video. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe (translated as "tearing the horse's mane"), subgenus Akbuyim. The Zhalaiyrs as part of the Kazakhs are the descendants of the medieval Dzhalairs. V.V. Bartold referred the ethnonym Jalair to the number of names of "genera of originally Mongolian origin". As I.P. Petrushevsky wrote, with a high degree of probability it can be argued that the Jalairs of the 13th century. belonged to the Mongol-speaking tribes. The closest comrade-in-arms and commander of Genghis Khan Mukhali was from this tribe. In the 13th century, our then Mongol-speaking tribe arrived in this area from Western Mongolia. Further, during the formation of the Kazakh Khanate, they became part of it. The Kazakhs include many such tribes, when you were former Mongols or Mongol-speaking. Now various Turkic and Mongol tribes make up the Kazakh people. Here is the answer to the question "where did the Mongols disappear?". They didn't disappear. Their descendants live throughout the steppe zone of Asia, as part of various once nomadic tribes who adopted the Turkic language because of its dominance and prevalence in trade along the Silk Road. Everything that I have just written is not fiction, you can read about the composition of the then Mongols of the 13th century and compare it with the list of tribes that make up the Kazakh people.

I’m the Khongirad of the Buryad-Mongols, and what you talking about is the lie. Kazakh people always forget to say about the bloodline they share and you quiet don’t understand even how Mongols related with each other. Your clan is direct descendants of the Kiyad, Chonos, Uryankhai, Khongirad. And we still believe in Tengri (the Sky, the Universe, the Sun and the Moon, the entropy). Your ancestors are kids of my ancestors. We still speak own language and respect our bloodline. But your people change language, religion, how you can be higher that your father? It’s impossible. If your are not agree than you are not from bloodline. The bloodline shared by Y-chromosome C2 haplogroup. So even if you have this bloodline, it doesn’t matter cause you don’t understand the meaning of life of the Mongol nomad.
Please do a full documentary about Amir Timur (Tamerlane), including all previous episodes, his battlefields against other countries, and the stages of his state's rise and fall
I believe they have a playlist pre made in their channel as part of their Mongol Empire section.
Tamerlane also a brutal man. 😬😬😬
The Golden Horde has to be one of my favorite historical nations. Thank you so much for covering its history so well. I would love to see more awesome content on the Crimean Khanate.
The Crimean khan's or giray family of genghisids still lives in turkey and in the UK and are a wealthy furniture tycoon family now.
Mine too. Area under the rule of Golden Horde got pretty much Turkified/Kipchakized. Those pseudo Chinggisids did good job :-)
@@Uptotheceilingdowntothefloor yeah jochi is not Genghis khan's real son lol he's technically a tatar whos father raped his mother.

quality as always ,I love this channel
I hope you are going to do some more vids about Italy , Asia and the Balkan peninsula, the history in this areas is enormous
This channel is truly my favourite ❤️
Huge work put into this and huge thanks from me. Very educative. I listen to this while doing house chores and I love it.
Thank you.
I cant imagine walking or riding that distance, let alone conquering and ruling.
@@justfly7730 Yeah but let's be real, the 13th century Mongols were a hard people. If you weren't hardboiled, you didn't survive your childhood.
As they say, hard times breed strong people.
Strong people bring easy times.
Easy times breed soft people.
And then soft people bring hard times.
And the wheel turns this way.
I have the luxury of being a soft man, unable to imagine the strengths required to do what these people did, but if we were both born in 13th century Mongolia, we'd either die in childhood or be strong enough to follow our Khan.
And to BE the Khan, yeah. That takes a special breed of alpha-ness that I do not possess. Temujin was an extremely strong man, both mentally and physically, for sure.
Same here, I truly adore this program...💙👊🏾
Lovely video...I hope you'll do more videos on other parts of Africa (south, central and west) like the Zulu ,Rozvi, Akans, Benin etc

After Kublai’s death in 1294, the Mongol Empire fragmented. Many of his successors were inept, and none attained Kublai’s stature. From 1300 on disputes over succession weakened the central government in China, and there were frequent rebellions. The Yuan Dynasty fell in 1368, overthrown by the Chinese rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, The most enduring part of the Mongol Empire proved to be the Golden Horde. It had begun to decline significantly in the mid-14th century
Golden Horde survived longer due to infighting between the Russians and Slavs. They also occupied the Steppe which helped to maintain their lifestyle and culture. However, the ethnic Mongols were slowly usurped by the Kypchaks due to intermarriage and Turkic influence due to higher Turkic population. The majority of the Steppe population of the Golden Horde were Kypchaks and they unintentionally caused the Golden Horde to transform unofficially back to the Kypchak Confederation. The Golden Horde was Mongol all but in name during its last years.
The last Khanata was the Bukharra Khanate in Uzbeckistan which was conquered by the Soviets in the 1920's.
Yes its called dissolving
@@theawesomeman9821 finishing the job so to say

Most interesting & diverse history, enjoyed the video
Hello, friends from KnG!!! Excellent work as always! Let me ask you a question: How do you manage to produce several 30 min plus videos about history and geography and publish them weekly?? Do you have multiple teams working? Who researches and writes the scripts? How big is your team?
"Reject independence, return to Möngke" - Khagan Möngke
Möngke means eternal in mongolian
"Gazan, like all good mongol princes, died in his 30s" when you take this out of context, it sounds so savage xD

The Mongols reverted back to how this all started out--squabbling amongst themselves.
History has a twisted sense of humor and irony.
It takes a Mongol to beat a Mongol.

Korea was subjugated by Khan army. I still remember the stories of 500 children roped and transported through the snowy mountains to northward to be trained to become Khan’s future soldiers. I also read that some of the escapees had their hands drilled with a hole to insert rope through it to set an example to other children what could happen in attempt of escape during travel. Not sure how accurate it is.
We have similar stories in eastern Europe as well. If you tried to run away than the Mongols sliced open your feet and stuffed them full of dirt before sewing them back up
@@SA2004YG I read that similar practice is still done in Africa I believe but intention is to heal not punishment. The dirt or mud on a open wounds can have healing effect from the germs that could be very harmful but I’m not sure how this fits into your story but if they took effort in “sewing” then it was probably to close the wound(s)?
@@SA2004YG are you from Crimea?
@@bruceyung70 no I'm from Belarus but live in the states now. Yes they stuffed the soles of feet full of dirt after cutting them open then sewed the dirt inside the feet. Sorry if I wasn't clearer
Their brutality is not surprising. Like the Huns 900 years before them or Gog and Magog 1800 years before them. I wonder what other scourge from north Asia that will descend upon us in about 100 years from now according to historical estimation.
Fantastic documentary, I am commenting for algorithm.
The only thing I'll add to this excellent video is that while Kublai's usurpation was "officially" illegal since it wasn't a kurultai, let's not forget that Genghis himself likely would have approved of this move in spirit. Temujin killed his older brother, who would have rightfully been the head of the house when he was a teenager. He also made sure that before he ever called the kurultai in which he was proclaimed Genghis Khan, he eliminated any who might 'nay' his claim to that title. Ariq did not do the same, and his stronger brother prevailed. Very Genghis move if you ask me on Kublai's part. Genghis had a very 'the strong should lead with strength' mentality.
Just wanted to say we absolutely love your channel. Please keep it coming at all cost. 📚 👍
How about the Kazakh khanate? It was also a successor to the Golden Horde and had the Chingizid ruling dynasty too
Obviously he cut lands fro his children so they wont fight each other but that turned out as a mistake
@@sergioleone4116 and then russia took advantage and the khanates were no more

As a result, it is, for example, kosher to theorise the Persian state under the Mongols (the Ilkhanate, 1236-1355) but not the polity from which those very same Mongols actually launched their takeover, namely the Mongol Empire, or the polity to its west with which the Ilkhanate was forever quarrelling, the Golden Horde (who knew themselves as the ‘Kipchak Khanate’).

Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

Best History Channel ever
I've been subscribed since the Battle of Trafalgar (no, not since 1805, you know what I mean) and together with creators like HistoryMarche, Epic History TV, Historia Civilis and many others, I've been convinced for years that television simply cannot compete, except for some obvious classics like Shoah, World at War, The Civil War (Ken Burns), Apocalypse: La premiere guerre mondiale etc, I'm just deflated anytime I turn on Discovery or the History channel. On the off chance (5%) that they actually have something historical, it's usually some generic talking head formulaic trash that you just know was made without any love going in to it. Shame on them for being easily bested by dudes making history docs without any large studio or network backing them up, shame.
Thank you for another great history lesson!
Genghisid princes continued to rule in Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan and the caucasus like the Khanate of Bukhara,the Kazakh Khanate,the Crimean khanate etc till the 18th century.Without the advent of firearms,a capable Genghisid prince of the caliber of Timurlane might have reunited the Mongol empire as the Genghisid lineage still held a symbolic awe if the person was capable.Also non Genghisid mongol origin empires like the Barlas Mughals,Oirat Dzhungars,Manghud Nogais etc continued to rule in one place or other.They all owe their existence to the march of Genghis Khan outside Mongolia.

This compilation video really feels like the end of a long story of Mongol Empire that was started by K&G years ago (2019, I think). But there is still so much more to talk about the sucessors of Genghis (especially Timurids and Mughals). One era may have ended and a new one is about to begin.
I Love this Channel i learn more and more about history
