The Epic Battle That Stopped the Mongols and Changed History: Ain Jalut

- In 1260, the Mongols, led by Hulagu Khan, were on a mission to conquer the Middle East. But their quest for domination was met with fierce resistance at the Battle of Ain Jalut. The Mamluks, a military elite made up of former slave soldiers, formed a circular formation called a "ghazwa" and deployed their heavily-armored cavalry at the front to absorb the initial Mongol charge. The Mamluks then counterattacked with their lighter, more agile cavalry, using hit-and-run tactics to wear down the Mongols. The Mamluk infantry, armed with spears, shields, and swords, formed a protective barrier for the cavalry and helped to repel the Mongol cavalry when they tried to break through the Mamluk lines.
The Mongols charged toward the Mamluk army with their superior cavalry and mounted archers, trying to break through the Mamluk lines. However, they were unable to overcome the Mamluk defense and were eventually forced to retreat. The battle took place near the Ain Jalut spring in southeastern Galilee, near the site of the present-day city of Beit She'an, Israel. This victory marked the end of the threat of Mongol domination in the region and allowed the Mamluks to establish themselves as the dominant power. The Battle of Ain Jalut is an epic tale of bravery and determination that changed the course of history.

@@AdituLaudisMMXXI The Mongols seized most of the world, then destroyed the Islamic state in Iraq, then destroyed the Levant, and when they wanted to go to Egypt
The Sultan of Egypt went out to them in the armies of the Egyptians, and the Egyptians defeated them and killed a lot of them.
- Historian Suleiman Al-Hawat
From the book Al-Sirr Al-Zahir, p. 494
@@AdituLaudisMMXXI Before the battle, the eyes of the Egyptian soldiers were filled with tears as they listened to the caliph's sermon, as they would fight for the name of Egypt and for the sake of crushing the Mongols. Historian James Watterson, speaking about the Great Battle of Shaqhab, is one of the strong Egyptian nationalist feelings in the Great Battle of Shaqhab in the year 1303 AD.

@@ahmadfathy7994 The term 'Mamluk Sultanate' is a modern historiographical term.[9] Arabic sources for the period of the Bahri, Mamluks refer to the dynasty as the State of the Turks (Arabic: دولة الاتراك, Dawlat al-Atrāk; دولة الترك, Dawlat al-Turk) or State of Turkey (الدولة التركية, al-Dawla al-Turkiyya).[16][17][9]
So much effort put in this. Bravery of its finest. Thank you.

Fun fact : The two mastermind generals behind the victory of Ain Jalut, Qutuz & Baibars, shared a common Turkic background, originating from lands that had been previously ravaged by Mongols which were Cumania and Khwarezmia respectively.
very interesting fact. Thanks for sharing!
Dont forget about Qutuz father , jalaludin khwarezm defeated Mongol 10 times , he even still can fighting larger Genghis Khan troops
@@abiyasa9839 Jalaladdin wasn't Qutuz's father but uncle
@@nenenindonu ah yes iam forget
To everyone who believes that the Mamluks were Turks at that time, their number was less than 1,500 people, and most of the army was Egyptian, and even many princes were Egyptians. Egyptian Christians also participated, and most of the government was Egyptian. It's like the Austrians fought for Germany in World War II because Hitler was Austria, or that Napoleon was not French because he was from Italy, or that the Russian Tsar was not Russian because he was from Germany

It saddens me that this is not taught in school because of hatred of Muslims. I appreciate you for this work thanks to your friend from Bahrain 🇧🇭
And Sultan Baybars is Turks
@Last of the Dragon's he has reason, egypt biught lots of turks slaves because they knew egyptian losers couldn’t defeat mogols, steppe warriors had to be defeated by other steppe warriors.
@Last of the Dragon's I probably know more history than u, after the sea people, egypts became losers ruled by foreigners, pharaos tamed them too well.
@Last of the Dragon's ive never been drunk in like 20 years.
The lybians, the nubians, the assiryans, the persians, the romans, tge arabs, the kurds, the turks...
Egypt is a chair were foreigners are suceeding each others
@Last of the Dragon's And I said muslims alone weren’t enough, muslims knew that mobilising just the muslims in egypt they would lose, they had to import and convert steppe unbelievers.
I have wondered why so strong Mongols are defeated by Muslim forces, this video clip gives me very interesting answers. Two mastermind generals - Qutuz & Baibars - never allow Mongol forces to do what they do their best, and keep pressing Mongols to do what they don’t want to do. Therefore, It causes the Mongol army to become not a monster but an ordinary one.
the biggest defeat for the Mongols is the Battle of Buir Lake,
when their own capital in Mongolia get raided by a Chinese Ming Dynasty general Lan Yu, who is probably a Chinese Hui Muslim:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Buir_Lake
@@Emilechen The battle of Buir Lake cannot be compared with the battle of Ain Jalut.
1. The battle of Ain Jalut happened in 13th century when Mongols and their army were at their peak. The battle of Buir Lake happened in late 14th century when Mongols were in their down trend and much weaker.
2. The battle of Buir Lake is not a face to face battle. As you said it's just a RAID and the Mongols were not prepared, kind of like Japanese attack on Pearl harbor in 1941. By the way, the Buir Lake was not Mongols capital.
3. The battle of Buir Lake is much less historically important than the battle of Ain Jalut. As a matter of fact, the Chinese army was disastrously defeated by Mongols just 60 years after the battle of Buir Lake (see Tumu Crisis at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumu_Crisis ), and the Chinese emperor of Ming Dynasty was shamefully captured by Mongols in the incident.
The Mongols experienced many big defeats in history, like the defeat in their invading to Japan. Compared with those historically important defeats, the battle of Buir Lake is nothing.
@@mengyuanxian3279 your answer is awesome, and I am excited to learn about it you said.
@@mengyuanxian3279 The Mongols were fighting with only a tenth of their army their leader the HULAGU KHAN had gone back to Mongolia to attend to his brother and the GREAT KHAN's funeral and for the selection of the next KHAN
Why you are surprised that they were defeated by Muslims?! Do you think muslims were weak at that time?
Ain Jaluth was also a scene of first mass use of early muskets, thus pioneering the firearm age. Mameluke musket, or rather an arquebuse, was called “midfa” or like that.
Oh wow. That would have been an advantage for sure, even if minor.
Mameluks saved the West!

Sultan Jalal Uddin fought ferociously against Chengis Khan at Kandahar war Parwan war in Afghanistan. At the bay of the Sindhu River and at the girikhat of the Hindu Kush mountain in India. He killed a son and a General of Chengis Khan and chopetaghat to Chengis Khan. Commander Jalal Uddin was a real historical Hero. Lal Salam!
I believe the correct spelling is Genghis Khan .
He made a stupid mistake, thouh, He under estimated imminent Mongol threat and refused allience with Seljuks, even attacked them and the Georgians in addition to challenging Gengiz by killing his embassadors. He could do a lot better if he wasn't blinded by his over pride (kibr in Islam), and cooperate with Seljuks. Mongols' superiority did not really come from their war skills, but from devide and conqueer tactics that they applied for even insignificiant enemies to reduce their casualties successfully and with no over pride. They cooperated with Bizantium Empire, Cresuders, and all the oppenets of Ottomans (other Turkic beys of Anatolia) to just defeat Osman bey (founder of Ottoman empire), even at the very early stage of Ottomans' formation, recognising the real threat for them in long run (see story of Ilhanids of Crimia and Russia under command of Oljaytu Han in "Kurulus Osman", who were decendents of Mongols after its disintegration into few khanets).
Imagine you are defeating both crusaders and mongols and you have both Seljuk Kipchak and Ayyubid traditions
Mongols were defeated by hot climate actually. Vietnamese defeated mongols with hot climate as ally. This is the same reason for French and German failure in Russia with icy climate as ally. Mongol just does not function well in hot place.
@@alexoolau bro i lived in steppes and summer are very hot in steppes
@@alexoolau *acTuaLy*
Mongols are superhuman in that they can withstand extreme heat and cold. That's how they devastated China and Iraq, two countries with very different climates-hot and cold, respectively. European gene for tiny eyes would have been a thing today if the front had not expanded out to include the Middle East and other regions of Asia.
They were defeated because of the bravery and resiliency of Mamluks muslims. Also Islam is a religion of warriors, that is also the reason why mongol descendants choose to follow it.
@@haziq0007 and Mamluks also knew their strategies because most of the things that used by mongols is invented by Turks even Genghis's alphabet was Uyghur
Fascinating content. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The fact that the Mongols were in Africa while also bordering Alaska is kind of insane to think of.
AFRICA?
How would the Mongols get to Africa?
Wouldn't Egypt have something to say about that?
@@rdelrosso1973 Egypt is precisely where they were. Not that they conquered it, but they got to it.
It was the bigest empire in world history....
Sultan Beybars would eventually voluntarily give up his throne in Egypt and return to the lands of his ancestors in Central Asian steppes, present day Kazakhstan. Beybars was from Kipchak tribe which belongs to a larger Turkic family. At present day Kipchaks are present in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Some small numbers are also present in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe.
I thought he did that out of regret for killing Qutuz
Заебали казохи , везде лезут со своей историей. То они монголы ,то они арабы, хрен вас поймёшь, откуда вы, с луны прилетели.

Both chroniclers wrote that the battlefield was darken by the dusty atmosphere many aim their enemy based on sounds/languages.
ад это мягко сказано
The great historian Ibn Khaldun also argues in his “Introduction to History” (or The Muqaddimah) that nomadic peoples, the Turks foremost among them, were the most energetic and martial of peoples and that imperial dynasties and regimes emerged from such groups until they became corrupted and softened by civilization and luxury, which resulted in a loss of martial energy and group solidarity. This analysis is very true because as the Abbasid caliphate started to lose its power and influence in the mid-ninth century most of the dynasties that emerged to control the various regions of the Muslim world were founded by Turks, either tribal nomads or former slave soldiers. Ibn Khaldun even attributes the victory of the Muslims over the Mongols to the martial power and energy of the Turks, who formed the elite ranks of the Mamluk armies that defeated the Mongols on several occasions as they attempted to advance into Syria and Egypt between 1260 and 1323.
Вы правы. Это были тюрки. Не монголы.

The reason for the emergence of the Turks and their leadership of the Muslims is something obvious. It is the Arab weakness, because they exhausted themselves in 400 years of wars, 16 crusades and wars in Andalusia. This is how the Turks appeared, not because they are stronger.
Güçlü olan her zaman ortaya çıkar. Fesatlık yapmaya gerek yoktur

Great screen play moving all of those forces with a kind of harmony when absolute brutality.
Very interesting part of history. However, I was confused watching the horsemen riding and the infantry walking and the clashes of battle. In fact, there was too much of that. The best part was the descriptions of strategy each side used. I can imagine the horrific death toll and the agony of the wounded. War is hell.
Both armies had mainly good mounted archers and good light and heavy cavalry. The Mamluk Sultanate was ruled by Turkic Kipchaks and Caucasian Circassians. The army was made mainly of these two groups.
The Mamluk Sultanate is the successor of the Ayyubid Sultanate, which is also of Turkic origin. In those years, Turkic Kipchak youth and Caucasian Circassian youth were enslaved in Central Asia and Eurasia during Mongol attacks and sold as slave soldiers to some countries in the Middle East. The Turkic Ayyubid Dynasty, Turkic Kipchaks and Caucasian Circassians used these young people in their armies after they had been trained in a good military school. The Ayyubid army consisted mainly of these two groups. In the beginning, Turkic groups were much more. However, these soldiers had taken over the sultanate after a coup d'etat and established the Mamluk Sultanate. The word Mamluk means 'Slave' in Arabic.
The language of agreement in the Mamluk Sultanate was Western Turkish, a mixture of Kipchak and Oghuz. In the past, only Arabic and Persian education was given in Madrasahs and Turkish was not a language taught in Madrasahs. For this reason, if someone in the Middle East speaks Turkish and writes in Turkish, that person is Turkish. "Kitâbu Bulgatü'l-Müştâk Fî Lügati't-Türk Ve'l-Kıfçak" , "Kitâbü'l-Ef'al" and "Kitâb-ı
Mecmû-ı Tercümân-ı Türkî and Acemî ve Mugalî” are some examples written in Mamluk Kipchak language...
@@orkunyucel3095 Turks didn't have alphabet, they were writing in Arabic or Persian.
Turkish could be written in Arabic and Persian alphabets, just as Turkish can now be written in a Latin-based alphabet. Language and alphabet are completely different matters.
@@orkunyucel3095

This was an interesting idea for a video. An improved second version might be worth attempting. My first suggestion would be in the visual depiction of the Mongol army. By the time of Ain Jalut, the Mongol army would have been a far more diverse force. Among defeated kingdoms and city-states, the Mongols usually established autonomous, subservient regimes (often enough the current regime) who were pledged to provide armed soldiers to fight for their Mongol lord. Hence, the Mongol army marching toward Jerusalem would appear as diverse as a modern United Nations armed force, but the Mongol idea of peace was submission. Of course, the Mongol army would be drawn from the area from Mideast to Central and Northern Asia. Secondly, as was the case with the Knights Templar on the occasion of marching into hot, arid land to battle Moslems, the 'baking sun' became the wrathful god fighting at the forefront of the Moslem army.
Lastly, instead of, or in addition to, the unclear video depictions of the relative positions of Mongol and Moslem forces in battle, your usage of arrows to illustrate positions, strategy and tactics at least sparingly might well enhance viewer understanding of this pivotal battle. As I might be wrong about the level of heat at the time of the engagement, at the outset, a brief description of date, time and probable weather conditions would clarify what the two sides faced, regarding Mother Nature.
Separately, I think viewers might be interested in the American Indian migrational wars and empires, such as Ojibway, Commanche and Lakota-Dakota.
I agree, there must have been Turkic, Kurdish, Persian and even Arabs in the Mongolian invasion force. I do believe the Georgians provided some units from Georgia too, but they probably fought as distinct/homogenous units.
The officer corps may have been primarily Mongol though! Bottomline is that Kitbuka did not do any scouting, and was left by Hulagu with a skeleton force that must have been a bit smaller than what the Mamluks had at their disposal.
Still the Mongol force was still powerful, and would have stood a good chance of winning the altercation if Hulagu had given the command of the task force to another general that did all the little things most of the successful Mongol generals were renowned for, such as Subotai and Jochi.
Thank you for the in-depth suggestion

Fun facts: Kitbuqa Noyan, was an Eastern Christian of the Naimans, a group that was subservient to the Mongol Empire. [wiki: Kitbuqa].
Conquest of Damascus in 1260: Historical accounts, quoting from the writings of the medieval historian Templar of Tyre, would often describe the three Christian rulers (Hethum I of Armenia, Bohemond VI of Antioch, and Kitbuqa) entering the city of Damascus together in triumph. [ibid]
Kitbuqa, who had been left by Hulagu in Syria and Palestine, held the Land in peace and in state of rest. And he greatly loved and honoured the Christians because he was of the lineage of the Three Kings of Orient who came to Bethlehem to adore the nativity of Our Lord. Kitbuqa worked at recovering the Holy Land. [ibid]
Several attempts at a Franco-Mongol alliance against the Islamic caliphates, their common enemy, were made by various leaders among the Frankish Crusaders and the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. [wiki: Franco-Mongol alliance]
Some historians describe Ain Jalut battle as a crucial point of the mongolian crusade, which failed due to betrayal of the western crusaiders [Lev Gumilev (1970) Searching for an Imaginary Kingdom: The Legend of the Kingdom of Prester John] (in Russian)].
It is not quite surprising, the Orthodox Church was also preferring collaboration with Muslims or even Pagans, but not with Catholics or Nestorians.
IMHO this battle is considerably more important from the political point of view, than from the military one.
I enjoyed very much this video about this crucial battle. Very well made. Thanks and good luck 🍀 with your work.

From Nomadic Dwellings to Imperial Dominion: A Profound Examination of the Nomadic Mongols
Survival's Choreography: Driven by an innate quest for security, human settlements typically coalesced, fortifying themselves against the unpredictability of the wilderness. Yet, within the expansive heart of Asia, a distinctive rhythm echoed-the nomadic cadence. On the windswept plains of Mongolia, tribes engaged in a dance of liberty and adaptability, contrasting with settled societies.
Hunters, Herders, and Khanates: Envision a life beneath a canvas sky, inhabiting a yurt-a portable wooden refuge adorned with felt, attuned to the changing seasons. Families eked out sustenance from the land, engaged in hunting, shepherding sturdy sheep and nimble goats, and perpetually seeking verdant pastures. Guiding these endeavors was the khan, a leader distinguished by sagacity and valor, wielding authoritative influence in the tribal tableau.
Equine Sovereignty: However, the true sovereigns of the steppe were the horses. Mongols domesticated these resilient creatures, rendering them extensions of themselves. Mobility emerged as their currency, swiftness their weapon, and horses the metric of a khan's affluence. The dance of survival, however, harbored a discordant melody-harsh winters, inclement weather, and the omnipresent specter of rival tribes, culminating in clashes as ruthless as the terrain itself.
Clash with the Celestial Empire: In the distant south, the Celestial Empire, China, regarded these nomads with suspicion, branding them as "barbarians." Employing diplomatic stratagems and inducements, Chinese emperors endeavored to control the Mongols, instigating internecine tribal conflicts in a futile endeavor to forestall the impending upheaval.
Temujin's Ascent: This upheaval bore a name-Temujin. In 1206, emerging from the embers of tribal discord, he unified the Mongols under his banner, assuming the mantle of Genghis Khan. His gaze turned southward, fixated on the fragmented Chinese dynasties-the Tangut, Jin, and Song-ripe for conquest.
Artisans of War: Warfare became Genghis Khan's artistry. Despite the absence of siege engines, the Mongols wielded time as their preeminent weapon, besieging walled cities, severing supply lines, and patiently awaiting capitulation. Proficiency with the bow, firing arrows with precision, coupled with equestrian prowess, rendered them spectral entities on the battlefield, appearing and vanishing, leaving adversaries confounded and cities in ruins.
Iron-Fisted Realism, Open-Palmed Pragmatism: Despite the often-drawn portrayal of unmitigated ruthlessness, the Mongols transcended mere destruction. Unyielding against resistance, they razed resolute cities but extended pragmatism and clemency to those who surrendered. Proficient artisans and engineers were spared, enlisted for the construction of siege machinery for subsequent conquests. This brutal pragmatism paved the way for their triumphs.
Empire in Bloom: By 1215, the Tangut and Jin dynasties bowed before the Mongol tempest. Genghis Khan, however, proved more than a conqueror; he embraced conquered cultures, assimilated technologies, and stimulated trade, transforming the Mongol Empire into a formidable entity along the Silk Road.
Westward Expansion: Mongol ambitions transcended the steppes and the Great Wall. Their iron-clad hooves resounded across the Russian steppes into Ukraine. Successors of Genghis Khan, propelled by an unwavering spirit, surged further, reaching Hungary and segments of Afghanistan, thereby embellishing the map with the crimson hues of conquest.
Epoch's Conclusion: Yet, like ice empires, even imperial dominions succumb to dissolution. Internal conflicts, compounded by power struggles following Genghis Khan's demise, eroded the once formidable Mongol dominion. In 1368, the empire formally disintegrated, yet the echoes of its legacy resonate in the enduring nomadic ethos of Mongolia.
Beyond Martial Arenas: This brief glimpse into the Mongol world beckons further exploration. The intricate nuances of their social structures, distinctive legal code, and interaction with religion warrant meticulous scrutiny. Military strategies, ingenious communication networks, and the economic reverberations of their vast empire constitute additional avenues for investigation. By assembling these fragments, a more intricate tapestry unfolds, portraying a people whose complexity is often misconstrued, yet remains an enthralling chapter in human history.

Welcome!
Very good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Mongol are very amazing and fascinating warriors.
@LonelyWolf I think, that's a very narrow way to see them. I think, it will be better to see them in all perspective, for example in military technology like their bow and stirrup, very advance and effective at that time. No one knows when the stirrup was first invented, but it was a boon to any military that used it. Even the simplest of stirrups, a leather loop, let mounted soldiers ride longer distances and stay mounted on their horses during battle. The military success of the forebears of the Cossacks is often attributed to two loops of leather. Same with the Goths and the Huns. Some believe the stirrup even shifted the balance of power in Europe from foot soldiers to mounted knights, dubbed the "armored tanks" of the medieval world by historian Roman Johann.
The Mongols took things further. Historians think they not only had leather stirrups, but metal ones as well. In 2016, archaeologists at the Center of Cultural Heritage of Mongolia unearthed the remains of a Mongolian woman dating back to the 10th century AD. Along with sturdy leather boots and some changes of clothes, she was buried with a saddle and metal stirrups described as in such good condition that they could still be used today. The stirrups are one continuous thick piece of metal with an open loop for a saddle strap on the top and a wide, flattened, and slightly rounded foot rest. The stirrups had to be comfortable and tough, because Mongols used them to ride in a way no one else rode.
A general of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) described the Mongols riding long distances standing up in the saddle, with "the main weight of the body upon the calves or lower part of the leg with some weight upon the feet and ankles." The stirrups were meant to keep the rider centered and upright in even the most tumultuous situation. They hung from a saddle that was made of wood and had a high back and front. These, supplemented with endless hours of practice, gave a Mongol rider unprecedented stability. The rider could maintain hands-free balance on the horse while the horse twisted and turned and while the rider himself turned in the saddle. A fluidly mobile rider could then use his hands to fire arrows in any direction as he rode.
Awesome video! This is the battle that saved Egypt, and quite possibly the rest of Africa, from being conquered by the Mongols. As for future videos, here are a few suggestions:
Total War: Attila
1. Battle of Adrianople (378 C.E.)
2. Vandals vs Picts
3. Sack of Aquileia (452 C.E.)
4. Ostrogoths vs Himyar
Total War: Rome II
1. Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.)
2. Odrysian Kingdom vs Lusitani
3. Battle of the Sabis (57 B.C.E.)
4. Carthage vs Royal Scythia
Piggybanking off your comment to add more suggestions.
Total War: Attila
1. Battle of Yarmuk (636)
2. Battle of the chains (633)
3. Battle of Pelagonia (1259)
Total War: Rome II
1. Epirus vs Sparta
2. Rome vs Selucids
3. Kush vs Rome
Total war: Napoleon
1. Crossing of the duna (1701) [great northern war]
2. Second Battle of Tannenberg (1914)
3. Battle of Hill 60 (1919) [Gallipoli campaign]
The ww1 ones can be done with the "great war" mod for napoleon, the first 2 suggestions can be done in "634" mod for attila, the 3rd suggestion for attila can be done in the "1212" mod. The rest can be done in vanilla for their respective games.
I don't know if all of africa would have fallen. Central africa had a jungle type environment, which was known to ruin the mongol bows as seen in india.
Furthermore the supply lines of the mongols would have been stretched way too far, even if it was the yuan era mongols with larger fleets.
Furthermore every quadrant of africa fights completely differently.
The east africans (somalis, ethiopians, nilotes, etc.) fought at night a lot and used mainly guerilla style tactics and other unknown tactics to the mongols, and were very good archers in their own right.
Other groups used completely different tactics that would require constant adaptation from the mongols.
Combining all these, I doubt the mongols could take over much of africa. Too much to lose, too hard to properly plan, too many varying fighting styles.
I would envision a similar scenario to alexander the great's conquest ending, they would probably turn back willingly due to many factors.
Not Africa, maybe they capture Egypt only
This was not the only defeat of the Mongolian army during the Western Expedition, but even several failed battles before that could not stop the Mongolian army from conquest, but many Western historians like to ignore the fact that the Mongolian army was not Because of the failure of this battle, the road to the west was terminated, not to mention that this battle that obviously did not conform to the Mongols' combat style was deliberately adapted. In fact, the ruler of the Mongolian Empire at that time fought in the war to conquer China in August 1259. died, and when the news was passed to the Western Expeditionary Army nearly a year later, Hulagu had to stop the Western Expedition and rush back to China to participate in the battle for the position of the Great Khan. The Western Expedition was suddenly stopped, not because of the defeat of a certain battle. I hope that those Western historians will stop remaking history and treat the progress of civilization with the justice that a scholar should have.
It was their very first MAJOR defeat which was so complete that it affected them for the next century psychologically. They never were the same after Ein Jalout. They had lost against the Bulgars in Europe some fourty years earlier but Ein Jalout was more decisive and left a permanent mark in the Mongolian psyche.
Complimenti questa è un osservazione veritiera da storico serio.
Well done lads
Very interesting fakts. Thx
Thanks for the video.This was an important battle but not the Mongol's first defeat- The battle of Parwan a generation before.
This was a total defeat for the Mongols and a psychological one as well. Only 7000 survived. They never expected to be defeated by Kutuz's army. Although the video mentions only Mamluks, the make up of the Egyptian army consisted of mostly Egyptians and a few thousands Mamluks. Not to detract from their unquestionable valor. The two armies were matched at approximately 20 thousand men each. The Mamluks mostly mounted on horseback. The tactic used by the Mongols which was to attack and then use false retreats was used successfully by Baibars which threw the Mongols off. They were drawn after a number of these attacks to the outskirts of the forested area where the infantry was waiting. One major weapon used at this battle was the canon...Egypt had harnessed black powder as a weapon of war. These canons were rudimentary but had a frightening effect on the Mongols. This use of canon preceded the introduction of black powder to Europe some seventy years later by Marco Polo upon his return from China where black powder was used for fireworks and other spectacular displays but it had not been harnessed by the Chinese as a weapon of war or the Mongols would have used canons and not been so disoriented and frightened by their effect with very basic projectiles. Their noise and the smoke they created had a marked effect. The word used in Egypt for canon was and still is to this day "madfaa". Powder in Arabic is "baroud" which evolved into poudre in French, powder in English etc...the term "baroud" (powder) was used by the French until the late 19th century when a ship's powder keg (anecdotelly called "la sainte barbe", the holy beard...) took fire and exploded; the expression was then called: " un baroud d'honneur". This battle was so decisive that it prevented the Mongols advance to the Middle East as well as North Africa and it considerably weakened the Mongols who until then had not suffered a major defeat. There were four Mongol messengers sent to Cairo who used a threatening and insulting letter from Kitbuka to intimidate the Egyptians into surrender. Contrary to conventional behavior where one doesn't kill the messenger, they were beheaded and their heads hung at "Bab El Zwela" the Zwela Portal or the Zwela door...A portal still in existence, intact to this day in Old Cairo where a portion of the army left the Cairo Citadel built by Salah El Din (Saladin) through that portal en route to Ein Jalout. On their way the crusaders did not interfere with the Egyptian army which had safe passage. They also considered the Mongols as a problem particularly after the pope at the time declared them enemies. Kitbuka was killed at that battle at the hands of a Mamluk by the name of "Galal El Din El Shamsy". ( pronounced Jalal in other parts of the Middle East ) Just a snippet of history for this very famous battle.

The composite bow was used by both sides. it's the first time the Mongols had no advantage. ancient Egypt invented this bow and the Mongols reinvented it. And both designs converged in Ain Jalut. The technology clash was high for sure.
ancient Egypt invented this bow and the Mongols reinvented it. ---> WTF !
@@javierbenavides2669 Agreed. The composite bow was used by Mongols, Turks and Iranians.
The Mongols also lost because they did NOT FIGHT THEIR style of warfare, but tried to meet the other force with direct heavier cavalry tactics.
Fluke mamalook win turns tide of history.
The Mongols tried their famous retreat/ambush tactic, but, the Mamaluks didn't fall for it so they had to resort to more standard tactics.
They did try to fight in their style, but it was ineffective. The mongols failed to trick the mamlukes with the failed retreat. Furthermore charging was a part of mongol tactics, they did their classic shoot them with arrows the charge and false retreat.
The mongols didn't lost because they didn't fight as regular, they lost because they were fighting a nation that studied them immensely and they didn't have their full forces.
The mamlukes scored many victories after this against the mongols, they were able to defeat mongol tactics.
@@lawrencefox563 Fluke baloney---The Mamluks were an extremely professional army/cavalry trained from boyhood in the art and mechanisms of war. Adding to this, the Mamluks were by that time well aware of Mongol tactics, weaponry, etc. and could effectively counter in kind.

Its too bad. Hugalu was doing well until Ogodai died. The reformed Mongol army was not the same as the original. If Ogodai had lived another 10 years Islam might not have survived.
Zaujímavý príbeh 👍
Thank you
This would be so much better with more commentary. I like watching a battle but it lost me not knowing what was going on.
Thank you for the suggestion. What would you like the extra commentary to be about? Army movements?
As it is in our hands, the uniforms should (better to) be clearly different. So one can understand the whole scenario. Generals and Kings should be visible. Good video, but could be more better. 👍👍
Love the music
Before the battle, the eyes of the Egyptian soldiers were filled with tears as they listened to the caliph's sermon, as they would fight for the name of Egypt and for the sake of crushing the Mongols. Historian James Watterson, speaking about the Great Battle of Shaqhab, is one of the strong Egyptian nationalist feelings in the Great Battle of Shaqhab in the year 1303 AD.

In the social hierarchy there were clear distinctions of status and power between “ Turks ” ( atrak ) , the term usually applied by native Egyptian writers to both Ottomans and Mamluks , and the Arabic - speaking indigenous population whom those in power often lumped together as " peasants " ( fallahin ) regardless of occu- pation or residence .

Great stuff as usual. 🙏

Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.

To everyone who believes that the Mamluks were Turks at that time, their number was less than 1,500 people, and most of the army was Egyptian, and even many princes were Egyptians. Egyptian Christians also participated, and most of the government was Egyptian. It's like the Austrians fought for Germany in World War II because Hitler was Austria, or that Napoleon was not French because he was from Italy, or that the Russian Tsar was not Russian because he was from Germany

I hope that you have noticed the nice rhyme at the end: turk/shirk. The latter term has extremely negative connotations in Islam, harking back to the opponents of Muhammad in Mecca and their pagan religion. The labeling of the Christians in this context is not a coincidence and more than just a desire for a proper rhyme. The Franks are associated with the worst enemies in Islam. But this is an aside. What is important for our purposes here is the Mamluks are exalted for their hero-ism, and recognized for their Turkishness. The latter is what enabled the former. If the price for protection against Franks and Mongols was rule by a foreign born caste of slave soldiers, so be it.

Welcome
Please treat the next video as the Battle of Sarhu, a war for supremacy between the Ming and Joseon allied forces and the Qing Dynasty. This is an incident in which Emperor Nurhachi of Qing stopped 100,000 of the Joseon Allied Forces with 8,000 cavalry. Admiral Yujeong of the Ming Dynasty and Kang Hong-rip, the commander of Joseon, are the main characters. Other generals include Kim Eung-ha, Moon Hee-seong, Yang Ho, and Du Song.
The issue is that the games largely ignore china. The only games where people got china in were three kingdoms and shogun II, though the mods for the latter weren't too great for china.
I hope they make a sequel to total war empire that includes more of asia and africa.
The qing are so underrated because many people support the ming before them, and the different groups after them. The qing did a lot of stuff worth mentioning, and they were a very powerful nation.
They are treated by the west like the ottomans, their great beginning is ignored only to focus on their end which is unfair.
Western historians such as Gumilev and Saleh said that the two sides were relatively far apart in terms of strength, the Mongols numbered 15,000, and the Mamluk-Turks numbered about 60-65,000.
lmao that impossible the mongol army under hulagu was 200000 he sent an expidition under his general karbuga so the mongol army is either stronger than mamluks army or equal but not the opposite
@atsizerenatsiz it is possible as there was defeat of Monke khan in Asia by the Song dynasty and Halegu was to attend his funeral and left just a small expeditionary army led by Ked-buqa (kitbuqa)

That was an ambush by the mamluke Turkish forces again and band of 5,000 chivalry and the services squadrons of nurses, cookers, and labors of the logistic group. Therefore, it was the noncombatent bands of cervilians. While the Egyptian forces came out of Africa, there were merely 800 000 men strong to join the fight 💪 👏 🙄 😑 😒 😤. So they perished in the pursuit.
