So basically how each of them fell was… Ilkhanate: Inbreeding/lack of heirs Chagatai: Khanate split in 2 and rise of Timur relegated Chagatai’s to one part until that part was taken in the 1700’s Yuan Dynasty: Environmental disasters and rise of the Ming Dynasty Golden Horde: Became decentralized after the death of Edigu and rise of Russia eventually took over the Horde and other decentralized khanates around them.

I find it very interesting that the Mongol and Roman Empires respectively had similar declines but from opposite sides. Roman imperium began with an Imperial dynasty from which legitimacy came and gradually the military took more and more of a role in choosing who would be emperor. The Mongols began with the army choosing the next ruler and drifting away from that towards imperial dynasties. 🤔

The debate over whether corruption or climate change brought down the Yuan seems to highlight something interesting. Such corruption and gift giving was hardly unusual for states in that time and it was only with the arrival of the climate crises that the system broke. Like all corrupt systems it worked fine...until it didn't.
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! Your old subscriber from Kazakhstan.👍🇰🇿🐎🐎🐎
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.

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.
@@sergioleone4116 not all of them, some soldiers that were left to defend terriroties have been dissolved into the local culture. Many mongols witn the clan name Borjigin from genghis khan lives in the current day mongolia
> El-Temur, Toghon Temur, Bayan of the Merkid, Toqto *Empress Ki flashbacks intensify* Great job of covering the Fall of the Mongols, a very important part of history yet so misunderstood and not covered well enough. No empire lasts forever, and the Mongol Empire was no exception.
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.
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

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?
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.
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
yo this is a masterpiece 👏, I listened and enjoyed this 1 hour long video whipping up food in the kitchen. but hey all king & generals narratives are awesome 👌
You guys are the first RUclips channel or for the matter the only other people I've heard pronounce Genghis name correctly. And now I will be watching all your stuff
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.
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’).

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’ve heard of the term “hot blooded” but the Mongols must have had lava running thru their veins... if they weren’t at war with some Nation, they were in conflict with themselves and trying to take eachother out. I can’t imagine the horror it must have been to try and face them? I always thought they took themselves out, till they had no power and got erased from History. I always wondered if the Natives in America came from Mongol lineage and have any Mongolian blood in them?
@@mohicantheluststar2550 yes, it's theorized they crossed across where Alaska and Russia separated eventually as the continental drifts have us currently going farther apart albeit very slowly. Thousands upon thousands of years EASILY turns a "short jaunt over ice" into an impassable treacherous quest, particularly without a boat. To say nothing of the temperature changes that have occurred over the discussed hundreds of thousands of years.
If you are Russian, I don't know why exactly you are sad for the fall of the Mongol empire, given that they destroyed your nation and the democratic traditions she had before 1241.
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 myself never thought the Mongols were underrated, but Greece, Rome and Mongols squandered their power, by constantly kicking their own asses and allowing corruption to take too much of a deep root.
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 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
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.
The mongols United a massive part of the world consolidating cultural, technological and economic exchanges never seen before. But as a whole, they mostly just killed a fuckton of people.
Considering the consanguinity of Ilkhanate rulers, it begs the question as to whether they had noticeable deformities like those seen in the Habsburgs of Europe.
i just watch your videos no matter the content!!!!! Very informative and you help ordinary people really comprehend the concept! keep the great work 💯💯💯💯
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.
A little background on the Khan's dismissal of Toghto during the siege of Gao-Yu. As part of the plan to keep conquered Song territory under control, the Yuan didn't build fortifications in southern China, lest they became the stronghold of rebel leaders, resulting in prolonged resistance Rather, the Yuan hoped to resolve things on the field, wipe out any resistance with its superior cavalry, which rebels weren't likely to have in large quantity. This however had two undesirable consequences, 1. A relatively small of rebels can quickly capture large swath of territory and quickly snowball, which would be a problem especially if there are few Mongols in the region and many civilians are sympathetic to the rebels. A good example of this is how Xiang Pulue (項普略) was able to capture much of Jianxi and Zhejiang, even putting Nanjing (one of the very few fortified cities at the time) under siege with only hundreds of starting troops. 2. The Yuan army's siege ability deteriorated considerably. What was special about Gao-Yu was that Zhang Shi-cheng (unlike other rebel leaders) fortified the city really well, having the time to do this as Yuan didn't go for him quick enough. Consequently the Yuan army, despite its massive size, could do little other than to surround the city and patiently wait for it to run out of supplies. That took too long however, long enough to make the emperor become suspicious of Toghto's actual motivation, and decided to recall him.
RUclips as teachers are better than public/private school teacher because (like TV productions) they recruit the best historian and intellectuals. It's like the difference between a history professor of Harvard and a history teacher in some small town in Montana. - learn from the masters and the wisemen in your society in your current generation👍
I just watched this again, What is the name of the music you have in the background? Tried to look on your source website but wasn't able to track it down.
You missed the most important part. In China, Ming emperors invented, adopted firearms, guns and cannons based on gunpowder. This is the most important technology and reason for the end of Mongol empire. Primitive as they were, firearms completely negated the superiority of Mongol calvary. Ming emperors defeated the Mongol occupiers completely, drove them out of China, sacked and burnt Mongol capital to the ground. Remaining Mongols surrendered and fought under Ming command. More importantly, Mongol calvary way of warfare were never dominant again because of firearms spread from China all over Eurasia. Climatic changes come and go. Chinese dynasties have coped with floods, famines repeatedly. Mongol occupiers are just especially incompetent except violence.
That s right. You could survive thanks to modern weapons. Without these weapons you were slaves of people who are a hundred times less than you. And that is what you proud of. Congratulations…
@@Tulparyelesi Ming armies innovated and won， killing the backward cowards. Also spread firearms to the world, including Russia. Mongols either surrendered and sent as cannon folders to defeat other Mongols. We have only have Mongolian genes on female line, from Mongol women and girls who joined Han families.
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.
what do you think? they didnt b0ng their own sisters in later times LELW
Genghis supposedly wasn’t a massive drunk.
Yak milk...
So basically how each of them fell was…
Ilkhanate: Inbreeding/lack of heirs
Chagatai: Khanate split in 2 and rise of Timur relegated Chagatai’s to one part until that part was taken in the 1700’s
Yuan Dynasty: Environmental disasters and rise of the Ming Dynasty
Golden Horde: Became decentralized after the death of Edigu and rise of Russia eventually took over the Horde and other decentralized khanates around them.

The debate over whether corruption or climate change brought down the Yuan seems to highlight something interesting. Such corruption and gift giving was hardly unusual for states in that time and it was only with the arrival of the climate crises that the system broke. Like all corrupt systems it worked fine...until it didn't.
It has been speculated that Climate change is what caused the Oghuz Turks to migrate to Middle East and Anatolia.

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.

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.

Tokto doing a pro gamer move resigning to make his rival take the blame and returned thriumpanthly is awesome
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.

@@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.

And then soft people bring hard times.

You guys are the first RUclips channel or for the matter the only other people I've heard pronounce Genghis name correctly. And now I will be watching all your stuff
!?What
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.
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.

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.
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.

"Gazan, like all good mongol princes, died in his 30s" when you take this out of context, it sounds so savage xD
I’ve heard of the term “hot blooded” but the Mongols must have had lava running thru their veins... if they weren’t at war with some Nation, they were in conflict with themselves and trying to take eachother out. I can’t imagine the horror it must have been to try and face them? I always thought they took themselves out, till they had no power and got erased from History. I always wondered if the Natives in America came from Mongol lineage and have any Mongolian blood in them?

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 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
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.
What did the mongols do for the humanity, exactly?
The mongols United a massive part of the world consolidating cultural, technological and economic exchanges never seen before. But as a whole, they mostly just killed a fuckton of people.
Considering the consanguinity of Ilkhanate rulers, it begs the question as to whether they had noticeable deformities like those seen in the Habsburgs of Europe.
False. Incest is most disgusted thing by Mongol standart even in 13th century. Il Khanate had just series of bad luck.
Probably not. Physical deformities are rarer than internal and mental deficiencies.

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.
A little background on the Khan's dismissal of Toghto during the siege of Gao-Yu.
As part of the plan to keep conquered Song territory under control, the Yuan didn't build fortifications in southern China, lest they became the stronghold of rebel leaders, resulting in prolonged resistance Rather, the Yuan hoped to resolve things on the field, wipe out any resistance with its superior cavalry, which rebels weren't likely to have in large quantity.
This however had two undesirable consequences,
1. A relatively small of rebels can quickly capture large swath of territory and quickly snowball, which would be a problem especially if there are few Mongols in the region and many civilians are sympathetic to the rebels. A good example of this is how Xiang Pulue (項普略) was able to capture much of Jianxi and Zhejiang, even putting Nanjing (one of the very few fortified cities at the time) under siege with only hundreds of starting troops.
2. The Yuan army's siege ability deteriorated considerably. What was special about Gao-Yu was that Zhang Shi-cheng (unlike other rebel leaders) fortified the city really well, having the time to do this as Yuan didn't go for him quick enough. Consequently the Yuan army, despite its massive size, could do little other than to surround the city and patiently wait for it to run out of supplies. That took too long however, long enough to make the emperor become suspicious of Toghto's actual motivation, and decided to recall him.
Finally, a mongol empire video

You missed the most important part.
In China, Ming emperors invented, adopted firearms, guns and cannons based on gunpowder. This is the most important technology and reason for the end of Mongol empire.
Primitive as they were, firearms completely negated the superiority of Mongol calvary. Ming emperors defeated the Mongol occupiers completely, drove them out of China, sacked and burnt Mongol capital to the ground. Remaining Mongols surrendered and fought under Ming command.
More importantly, Mongol calvary way of warfare were never dominant again because of firearms spread from China all over Eurasia.
Climatic changes come and go. Chinese dynasties have coped with floods, famines
repeatedly. Mongol occupiers are just especially incompetent except violence.
That s right. You could survive thanks to modern weapons. Without these weapons you were slaves of people who are a hundred times less than you. And that is what you proud of. Congratulations…
@@Tulparyelesi Ming armies innovated and won， killing the backward cowards. Also spread firearms to the world, including Russia. Mongols either surrendered and sent as cannon folders to defeat other Mongols.
