And Hannibal born 600 years later he may have Phoenician ancestry but he never associated himself with them. On that 600 years Phoenician got mixed with berbers he was Phoenician berber o probably got only 2% Phoenician on him but they were speaking Punic language. He was Phoenician Berber just like Tunisians are arabised today. So Hannibal is 🇹🇳

Trust just thought about that been rewatching all 3 channels videos Kings & Generals at the top but this channel in my opinion is catching up really well. Well done 👍
Hannibal won almost every single confrontation at a tactical level. He lost at a strategic level. Long routes, made severely insecure by the Romans, having to either bribe or fight his way through a large swath of land made insecure by the Gauls, waging war all over Italy's outskirts but never close to Rome, all this wore him down. In fact, even if the Romans lost the battle of Trebia, depriving Hannibal of his war elephants could be seen as a strategic victory for Rome. Whereas the final Roman attack was short, straight to Carthage's heart, over the direct sea route. Hannibal should have read Sun Tzu: a capable general wins a war that is already won. Only a fool wins spectacular battles.
Out of all generals throughout history, Hannibal is my favorite. Through skill and experience he was able to persevere and win against all odds. If the Carthaginians only supported him like the Romans, it would be Carthage that would have been the basis of Western civilization
@WarriorofChrist612 at a minimum they would have ruled Gaul, Italy and been a sphere to Macedon, yet we have no idea how they could have fated against the selucids or the Egyptians. Expecially with their type of army composition and use of phalanx formations, I feel they would have never made it past them or past Greece. Personal opinion
@@SuchDoge4242 They had diverse array of army composition due to their mercenary tradition which gives them an advantage in unpredictability. But mercenaries are not particularly loyal and will rebel at times or switch sides. Carthage’s success is based on how much money they have to fund their mercenaries.
@WarriorofChrist612 even with a diverse array look at any historical sources on their battle tactics. They were huge fans on heavy phalanx in the middle covered by their Gaul and numidian mercenaries, but in plain comparison they were much more flexible than say Macedon, I just still don't see them in a pitched battle being able to over come the steel wall that was a Macedonian phalanx. I do agree with your statement but excluding the money factor and just think battle field tactic, could Carthage without hannibal manage to beat a empire like Egypt or Macedon or the selucid empire.
Thanks guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
@@michaldohnal7028 It's not about Rome, it's the fact that Carthage didn't view him like a hero. Some from aristocracy asked romans to get rid of him. Like Scipio, they did everything for their states and in return they become outcasts. He could not even die from old age, because romans hunted him and he drink poison by hiself to not get capture. (short story) Not to mention that a great culture like Carthage got wiped out. Isn't this an even more sad ending?
This is why I love these types of long documentaries. It gives you a lot of details instead of majority of youtubers or history documentations on TV that just say "oh he crossed the alps fought like 3 major battles and eventually lost". While they missed the 15+ years and the dozens and dozens of other pretty large battles plus logistics that played part in the entire war. Only books could have done this type of detail but to be fair most authors lack the detail to stick to reading. It gives you a sense how long and complicated these wars were.
Finally, A documentary worthy of arguably the best tactical general throughout history. Tactical of course not being the same as strategic but if i had to chose one general to command one army in one battle it would be Hannibal all day.
Hey Dennis, thanks for stopping by. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae
I've been a huge fan for 4 years. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series? No episode 20. It's been 1 year + 3 months, and 67 other videos later, since episode 19. It seems to be your most beloved series. It starts out with ~3,000,000 views on episode 1. And still gets >400,000 views by episode 19. Your most recent videos have been getting ~200,000 views. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series?
Hannibal is one of those names in History I've always known of but never fully looked into, this was a great in-depth overview! I love the animations for the battles, taking notes for my Total War games!
I missed the part where they said Hannibal Barack was black after all Carthage is an Africa.... He's also in the Bible fighting for Debra in the Book of judges....most of the storys in the bible arent that old. In the bible ... "the Pilot of Rome" is actually Pontius Pilate (the Caesar) Once you know who everyone is ...you can actually cross reference it with history.... For example... Revelation 6:8 ( the pale horse) is the prophecy of Christopher Columbus coming to the fourth part of the Earth (AKA North America) They took the names out of the Bible and replaced them with titles....like " the Queen of Sheba".....her name in history is Bilquis.... And the kingdom of Sheba was in East Ethiopia
@@davenalford6956 North Africans aren’t always black, particularly in the ancient era when there was heavy colonization by other Mediterranean peoples, and the wide range of Berbers who lived in North Africa. The Numidians in particular were more likely olive skinned whites who looked more like Romans than what you’d think of when you think “African.”
@@davenalford6956 first of all it's Hannibal Barca, not Barack. Secondly, Carthage was defended from Phonecia in the Middle East, and even today most Tunisians are not black, but are more Arab, similar to Egypt today. Hannibal being part of the Carthaginian nobility means he was probably of Phonecia decent and thus more Arab in complexion, not black.
@@Danymok Carthage is now called Tunisia (North Africa) the Middle East didn't exist until 1947 - When the League of Nations gave someone some land that didn't belong to them. And you might want to double-check everything you said in your comment history has been completely whitewashed and flipped upside down along with the maps.
The research, production, script and narration is absolutely top quality. Probably best I've seen. I wish this sort of thing was around when I was younger for educational purposes.
Hehe, yeah, while researching that seemed incredible, but it did happen. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation for parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.

Hannibal is definitely my favorite of history's generals. "When the standard of the Roman Empire flew over much of the known world, only Hannibal gave Rome cause to tremble in fear." -Drifters, anime
So many great generals throughout history. For me I love learning about Julius Cesar, Hannibal Barca, Alexander the great, Robert E Lee, and Saladin. All great generals of their time.
@@skittles970 but you have no idea about the general who never lost a single war in the entire history? Search Khalid ibn Al walid. Thank me later..!! And taimur lang also
this is so much more entertaining than netflix movies. you actually managed to get my heart rate up with just narration and music, combined with the epic events being described if course. do you plan on sticking to classical warfare or are you planning battles from other time periods? not that im complaining, this time period is great.
I mostly cover Ancient and Medieval history, those are my favorite periods - although by "Medieval" I also mean the Early modern period (15th to 17th century). That said, I'm working on Hannibal part 11, the Battle of Cannae. It should be finished in a few weeks.
Hanno really screwed everything up, him not waiting on Hasdrubal for reinforcements set the dominoes falling away from Hannibal. Not only did he lose men and gold. He left Hasdrubal short manned, which then made him lose in ship to ship fighting, then him losing dozens of ships to the Romans.
The exact toll is realised 10 years later when scipio bros take over entire Spain.if only that guy had waited, they would hv nipped it in the bud and scipios wouldn't hv existed to attack iberia or then move to carthage. The only mistake of 2nd punic war that caused carthage downfall
Its crazy how having support of the tribes or not was such a factor. It seems so minor compared to the Roman Carthaginian conflict itself. Yet its constantly mentioned how the actions of leaders on both sides were influenced by the impression it might give the tribes. Having their support in the conflict was actually much more critical then I would have thought.
@@vonn4017 Wrong ! Carthage territory was mainly the whole of Tunisia (plus north west of Libya and north east of Algeria), that is the core of Carthage, and the city of Carthage in now Tunis was the capital. At its peak, it expanded to include the whole of North west Africa, most of Iberia, Sicilia (and of course Malta, Sardinia...). The Carthaginians were Punics who were a mix of the Phoenicians and the local people who were in nowadays Tunisia (specifically) who, unlike the local people of the other Phoenician settlements, adopted the Phoenician culture and developed it adding to it the local culture (just like the Etruscans in Italy who adopted the Greek culture a.k.a the Romans) especially after the fall of Tyre, and the total independence of Carthage in around 650 BC, which led to drastic changes which are mainly: - The fall of the old monarchy system and the rise of the republic of Carthage (the development of a constitution etc...). - The development of deities: Baal became Baal-hammon along with its partner Tanit (a local deity which replaced Ashtar and other Tyrian deities). They were both the main dieties. - The language has changed through time to be a mix of Phoenician language and the local language/dialect hence the Punic language and then the Neo-Punic and so on (search for the play Poenulus by Plautus)... - Unlike the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians were not only a great traders and merchants, but also a remarkable generals and warriors alongside their allies the Numidians and Libyans (well, most of the time !) who were under their rule and command, especially the Barcids for example (the family of Hamilcar and Hannibal).
Of all the awesome documentary content on youtube right now, you guys do the absolute BEST job at describing and breaking down combat operations of the era. That's really saying something too. Hats off man. Bravo! Just outstanding work here!
@@HistoryMarche Forsure! I'm dead serious when I say this, your content on the Punic Wars is 10/10. I'll certainly stay tunned for the remaining videos. :)
@@ZombieProdigyUS @HistoryMarche I agreed. I studied Carthage and Rome history in College and it was not so detailing; troops numbers and movements, battle strategies, navy details, maps, graphics, etc. Excellent job!!
been playing a lot of Total War recently and I really appreciate the visual presentation of military strategy here. Very entertaining, and informative!
Thanks for watching. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys.

I think this has to be my favourite series, and its not just down to the content, the story telling in your vocals is so good....... thanks again, I was watching the latest vid but always come back here after ^^
I think you should do more series over grand campaigns like this one, I’ve listened to it and watched it multiple times in its entirety. Something about the whole campaign and how it develops really reels you in
Until Romans understand his tactics and after Cannae he left him without a battle and Africanus start conquering Spain forcing Hannibal to abandon Italy. Hannibal maybe good general no doubt about it but you cannot win the war without logistics and Hannibal didn't create any logistics to supply his army and worse Romans just started neglecting him just by using Fabius Maximuses tactics of making him suffer from attrition and losing territories in Spain.
Hehe, sorry guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
This channel is amazing. I’ve started watching the amazing content you’ve put out since around last year and this is probably my first comment. I can’t wait for Cannae and future projects you’re planning on doing. I’d also like to see you open a channel in which you play strategic games and such. I’m sure you don’t have time for that stuff but it would be epic. Thank you for existing and making these incredible videos! 👍
I would love to see what Hannibal could do with a Late Republic legion. He wasn't as politically savy as other all time great generals, but there isn't a single commander from that time other than maybe Caesar in a protracted campaign who could beat Hannibal on the field. Should have been born a Roman lol.
@@geordiejones5618 Hmmm... Late rep legion commanded by whom though? Regarding Hannibal facing someone though, I would have a list of people I'd love to see him go against. Marcus Agrippa Majorianus Belisarius to name a few. Well, we are technically modern Romans if following the Roman cultural children.
Awww yis. I love having a series in a single video. Just click that bad boy and relax. No more of RUclips inexplicably recommending part 5 even though I just watched part 3, thus having to search for the next one by hand.
Indeed, this is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I uploaded another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae
My first experience with history was about hannable and the 2nd punic war. That was when I was 7. Years later and I'm finaly back to relearn everything as I have bascicly forgot it. This is an amazing series!
Hehe, sorry about that. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading a 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae
Thank you for editing this together without repetitive intros and outros, I can't stand when channels make cheap 'compilation' videos that literally have the original intros and outros in each vid, adding an extra 10+ minutes to a 45+ minute video, like Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting compilations. I love Ryan George and his pitch meetings but that's so annoying and lazy.
How did Hannibal maintain elephants for so long on his campaign? The logistics of supplies in this day to maintain so many men for so long blows my mind.
Hannibal strategy are simple but yet, effective. Always flank the enemy to attack them at its most vulnerable side. Never engage the enemy when you are not ready. Hold fast and don't rush into decisions. Never give your trust away too easily, always keep your eyes peel. Never march an army on a empty stomach.
Absolute master at flanking maneuvers and incredible to me how he was able to stay ahead of every ambush. This man was meant for war, some might argue he could have even challenged the likes of Alexander.
@@karldilkington8802 I'd say better than Alexander, I'd personally tie him with Caesar. Alexander imo is overrated, all his battles were won in a huge part thanks to his troops, rather than he himself having a big impact, unlike Hannibal or Caesar. Plus the absolute tactical masterpiece that was Cannae imo trumps all of Alexander's victories, not only did he inherit the army from his father, but again imho never quite achieved a brilliant of a maneuver as Hannibal had at Cannae, or what can be called one of the most successful ambushes of all time at lake Trasimene for example.
@@sacredband7089 Precisely. He faced an enemy(Rome) who had more manpower, an outright superior army, they were devoted to fighting the war unlike Carthage, so he didn't have even his country's support in an already underdog fight, compare that to Alexander, the Macedonian army at the time was the best in the world, if anything he had a superior army to Persia's, full of battle hardened, professional soldiers of the phalanx&the elite cavalry the companions, his only real disadvantage was being outnumbered, and unlike Hannibal had his country's support.
This is a really well-done documentary and very interesting. I like how smart Hannibal was. He fought with his head, and it was obvious that the Roman generals, used to strength in numbers, were always on the back foot in trying to outwit him.
@@HardoGembol Your're crazy, this man damn near ran through their whole Empire on elephants and even recruited people from their country to fight against them, sorry its not close. Thats why they dont speak of this man in history, they dont want everyone to know a North African almost destroyed the whole Roman Empire. Why do you think in the movie, 300 the Roman go against a man on an Elephant with his army, and they defeat this man when it was really the opposite way around smh these folks love lies
It's amazing how well this documentaries are done. It's a privilege for any history lover to watch this channel. I have learned so much more here than in school. We have to support this channel and other channels like this since we live in a weird world of leftism, SJWs, identity politics,... where history is often wrongly interpretative or disclaimed completely, statues of our culture and history pulled down, opinions used as facts... Anyway, thank you for all the work you have done.
Thank you for watching. It's great to see that you enjoyed the compilation. I decided to release these 1-hour long compilation from the Hannibal series just so you guys can more easily keep track and enjoy easier viewing. I'll be releasing the 2nd compilation with episodes 6-10, but until then you can watch these individual episodes on my channel. And I'm also working on part 11, the battle of Cannae, but it's a big project so I can't give any dates yet.
Working on it now, it's a big one. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
Jersey MusicMan333 nah Rome has too much impact on our daily lives here in the west. I can’t even imagine what our world would look like if the Roman Empire never existed. It’s like trying to predict what will happen a 1000 years in the future, there’s just too many variables that we will never know to take into account
Your documentaries are top notch , it's like watching a movie . Best Battle documentaries on RUclips right now . This is how it should be done , not just infodump a lot of facts like some other channels
I am convinced that the phrase 'can you imagine the gall of that ___' is just a bastardization of Gaul. just an unjustifiable audacity in the way they acted. Just as the relationship of 'vandalism' and the Vandals.
After each attack I realise I've been holding my breath XD I love the fact that even though someone can know the outcome, you've edited it so brilliantly that I genuinely get anxious XD♡
Wow! Thanks for the video. Great work with the maps and animations. Helps a lot to understand. Even the ads are in the right spot, not interrupting anything. Great work!
This man never fails to impress me. He turned a bunch of north african merchants and spear shaking gauls into roman legionares through natural selection.
Hello Everyone, just here to remind people that even though I agree our ~African Hero~ had darker skin color, he was still white/caucasian. Sorry to dissapoint but truth hurts. This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.
@@alaothman858 His mother were from Levant region (modern day Syria), I'm not sure what his father were, his father were properly native north African either from modern day Tunisia or Libya since both were defending Carthage in it last battle while all other nations left it over and back the Roman including Numidians
🤔 Barcid family were Black Jews lol; a division of the Maccabees and remnant of the Jews left over from King Solomon and the Phoenician black Canaanite seafarers. Xanthippus clan were under the Barcas and 3 sons died serving the Maccabees. Classic Latin,Persian and Arabic literature describe these people as NEGROES.
The same remnant would be the North African corps of the 1st Muslim Conquest; anybody whos knows WTF they're talking about knows these were the Black Moors who would Run Spain 700's-1100's and become notorious in the architecture of EVERY EUROPEAN country and coveted as Eunuchs in Royal courts in Africa/Europe/Persia and India..
This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.

Thanks guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
@@michaldohnal7028 It's not about Rome, it's the fact that Carthage didn't view him like a hero. Some from aristocracy asked romans to get rid of him. Like Scipio, they did everything for their states and in return they become outcasts. He could not even die from old age, because romans hunted him and he drink poison by hiself to not get capture. (short story)
Not to mention that a great culture like Carthage got wiped out. Isn't this an even more sad ending?
This is why I love these types of long documentaries. It gives you a lot of details instead of majority of youtubers or history documentations on TV that just say "oh he crossed the alps fought like 3 major battles and eventually lost". While they missed the 15+ years and the dozens and dozens of other pretty large battles plus logistics that played part in the entire war. Only books could have done this type of detail but to be fair most authors lack the detail to stick to reading. It gives you a sense how long and complicated these wars were.
Finally, A documentary worthy of arguably the best tactical general throughout history. Tactical of course not being the same as strategic but if i had to chose one general to command one army in one battle it would be Hannibal all day.
You should have told it to Antioch 😅
Hannibal was caught because his NordVPN membership expired
He didn't have SimpliSafe either, that would warn him about treacherous Bithynian kings.
Just like you at Waterloo?
Nah, Hannibal was just like: "Who needs the 2nd Punic war when you got World of Tanks?!"
@Sufyan Muhammad Great advice 😂
@Jojo Momo 🤣😂
Sees Roman army twice the size of his own army
Hanno: “Now’s our chance! Attack!! 🤪
There were few times the empire was brought to its knees and I would definitely say Hannibal was one of them along with Spartacus. Thanks guys
Hey Dennis, thanks for stopping by. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae
HistoryMarche Sounds great be looking forward to it
I mean hannibal yes.Spartacus no. lol he got crushed also it was the republic at this time
Eh Spartacus was crushed as soon as Rome sent its consuls after him where as Hannibal really had them on the ropes and for some reason let them off.
@@albertocruz5032 hannibal had to withdraw to defend carthage, taking Rome but losing carthage would have been a bit of a pyrrhic victory
The romans towing away dozens of unmanned ships was definitely one of the moments of all time.
The animation with proper geography is EVERYTHING! So much easier to comprehend what's happening and where. Excellent!
"Perhaps he will bring with him an army of elephants!"
-Roman Senate while Hannibal is marching to rome with an army of elephants
"I dare say it will be' quite a feet....even for the great Hannibal Barca"
This series is probably the best thing that happened to me during the pandemic
History march is one of the 3 best history channels, but the narrator ist definetely the best one around. Astonishing voice
My thoughts exactly. The narrator is the best I have ever heard
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly,
He outflank
He hit it from the bacc*

Lol
I've been a huge fan for 4 years. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series? No episode 20. It's been 1 year + 3 months, and 67 other videos later, since episode 19. It seems to be your most beloved series. It starts out with ~3,000,000 views on episode 1. And still gets >400,000 views by episode 19. Your most recent videos have been getting ~200,000 views. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series?
Man i died at 40:17 when the soldier says who's idea was this 😂
Great series vlad I just started watching it ❤️
Haha, yeah, I mean someone MUST'VE thought that as they were wading through FREEZING water in a the middle of a snow storm.
@@HistoryMarche while hungry too
@@trust.worthy and after being suddenly woken up
Hannibal is one of those names in History I've always known of but never fully looked into, this was a great in-depth overview! I love the animations for the battles, taking notes for my Total War games!
I missed the part where they said Hannibal Barack was black after all Carthage is an Africa....
He's also in the Bible fighting for Debra in the Book of judges....most of the storys in the bible arent that old.
In the bible ... "the Pilot of Rome" is actually Pontius Pilate (the Caesar)
Once you know who everyone is ...you can actually cross reference it with history....
For example... Revelation 6:8 ( the pale horse) is the prophecy of Christopher Columbus coming to the fourth part of the Earth (AKA North America)
They took the names out of the Bible and replaced them with titles....like " the Queen of Sheba".....her name in history is Bilquis.... And the kingdom of Sheba was in East Ethiopia
@@davenalford6956 North Africans aren’t always black, particularly in the ancient era when there was heavy colonization by other Mediterranean peoples, and the wide range of Berbers who lived in North Africa.
The Numidians in particular were more likely olive skinned whites who looked more like Romans than what you’d think of when you think “African.”
@@davenalford6956 first of all it's Hannibal Barca, not Barack. Secondly, Carthage was defended from Phonecia in the Middle East, and even today most Tunisians are not black, but are more Arab, similar to Egypt today. Hannibal being part of the Carthaginian nobility means he was probably of Phonecia decent and thus more Arab in complexion, not black.
@@Danymok Carthage is now called Tunisia (North Africa) the Middle East didn't exist until 1947 - When the League of Nations gave someone some land that didn't belong to them.
And you might want to double-check everything you said in your comment history has been completely whitewashed and flipped upside down along with the maps.
Love total war games. From shogun to warhammer and all in-between. Every I know Hates them lol
The research, production, script and narration is absolutely top quality. Probably best I've seen. I wish this sort of thing was around when I was younger for educational purposes.
Came here for a more in depth military analysis of the 2nd Punic Wars after watching oversimplified.
I watched this before oversimplified came out with his videos. They are both great in their own ways
That part near the end when the Romans towed away the ships while the Carthaginians all just stood there watching in shock really made me laugh.
Hehe, yeah, while researching that seemed incredible, but it did happen. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation for parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.

Hannibal is definitely my favorite of history's generals.
"When the standard of the Roman Empire flew over much of the known world, only Hannibal gave Rome cause to tremble in fear."
-Drifters, anime
Rome at this time was contained in the Italian peninsula and in the Mediterranean islands around it. Not much of the known world.
So many great generals throughout history. For me I love learning about Julius Cesar, Hannibal Barca, Alexander the great, Robert E Lee, and Saladin. All great generals of their time.
@Utathya Manna no I haven't. I've never heard those names.
@@skittles970 but you have no idea about the general who never lost a single war in the entire history? Search Khalid ibn Al walid. Thank me later..!! And taimur lang also
@Utathya Manna lol.
this is so much more entertaining than netflix movies. you actually managed to get my heart rate up with just narration and music, combined with the epic events being described if course.
do you plan on sticking to classical warfare or are you planning battles from other time periods? not that im complaining, this time period is great.
I mostly cover Ancient and Medieval history, those are my favorite periods - although by "Medieval" I also mean the Early modern period (15th to 17th century).
That said, I'm working on Hannibal part 11, the Battle of Cannae. It should be finished in a few weeks.
@@HistoryMarcheSir, are you still working on the series? The project is amazing, and I can't wait for the next part.
Hanno really screwed everything up, him not waiting on Hasdrubal for reinforcements set the dominoes falling away from Hannibal. Not only did he lose men and gold. He left Hasdrubal short manned, which then made him lose in ship to ship fighting, then him losing dozens of ships to the Romans.
he went full Leeroy Jenkins
The exact toll is realised 10 years later when scipio bros take over entire Spain.if only that guy had waited, they would hv nipped it in the bud and scipios wouldn't hv existed to attack iberia or then move to carthage. The only mistake of 2nd punic war that caused carthage downfall
Yep terrible tactics
@@jigzonyt517 Like comments said before, Hannibal really carried the war. Carthage would've been crushed quickly without his leadership
It seems that his name is Hanibal's reaction to learning about his works. "- Ha? no..." :P
Its crazy how having support of the tribes or not was such a factor. It seems so minor compared to the Roman Carthaginian conflict itself. Yet its constantly mentioned how the actions of leaders on both sides were influenced by the impression it might give the tribes. Having their support in the conflict was actually much more critical then I would have thought.
As a tunisian, I'm really honored to see that everyone is in hannibal's side
Yeah but Carthage was part of the Phoenician empire and Rome killed most of the people in Carthage. you might not be of the same lineage
not me :)
rome forever!
It's unlikely that Carthaginians were of the same stock as modern Tunisians. Just as ancient Egyptians are very different to modern Egyptians
@@vonn4017
Wrong !
Carthage territory was mainly the whole of Tunisia (plus north west of Libya and north east of Algeria), that is the core of Carthage, and the city of Carthage in now Tunis was the capital.
At its peak, it expanded to include the whole of North west Africa, most of Iberia, Sicilia (and of course Malta, Sardinia...).
The Carthaginians were Punics who were a mix of the Phoenicians and the local people who were in nowadays Tunisia (specifically) who, unlike the local people of the other Phoenician settlements, adopted the Phoenician culture and developed it adding to it the local culture (just like the Etruscans in Italy who adopted the Greek culture a.k.a the Romans) especially after the fall of Tyre, and the total independence of Carthage in around 650 BC, which led to drastic changes which are mainly:
- The fall of the old monarchy system and the rise of the republic of Carthage (the development of a constitution etc...).
- The development of deities: Baal became Baal-hammon along with its partner Tanit (a local deity which replaced Ashtar and other Tyrian deities). They were both the main dieties.
- The language has changed through time to be a mix of Phoenician language and the local language/dialect hence the Punic language and then the Neo-Punic and so on (search for the play Poenulus by Plautus)...
- Unlike the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians were not only a great traders and merchants, but also a remarkable generals and warriors alongside their allies the Numidians and Libyans (well, most of the time !) who were under their rule and command, especially the Barcids for example (the family of Hamilcar and Hannibal).
@@vonn4017 Carthage was an empire on its own, while the rest of the Phoenician cities disappeared , Carthage, expanded and grew.
Of all the awesome documentary content on youtube right now, you guys do the absolute BEST job at describing and breaking down combat operations of the era. That's really saying something too. Hats off man. Bravo! Just outstanding work here!
I'm taking a class on Rome & Carthage and the books are literally TRASH compared to your content. Thanks so much!!! :)

Who else thought that the Battle of Cannae was finally uploaded?
But 10/10 for this video!
been playing a lot of Total War recently and I really appreciate the visual presentation of military strategy here. Very entertaining, and informative!
Same, got back into Total War Rome 2 after years and it made me wanna rewatch all my favorite History Marche videos

I think this has to be my favourite series, and its not just down to the content, the story telling in your vocals is so good....... thanks again, I was watching the latest vid but always come back here after ^^
Wow, thank you!
I think you should do more series over grand campaigns like this one, I’ve listened to it and watched it multiple times in its entirety. Something about the whole campaign and how it develops really reels you in
Hannibal is the smartest general ever.He’s always 1 step ahead
Until Romans understand his tactics and after Cannae he left him without a battle and Africanus start conquering Spain forcing Hannibal to abandon Italy. Hannibal maybe good general no doubt about it but you cannot win the war without logistics and Hannibal didn't create any logistics to supply his army and worse Romans just started neglecting him just by using Fabius Maximuses tactics of making him suffer from attrition and losing territories in Spain.
I thought a new video, I said to myself may be Cannae this time 😂
Finally it is the five first videos we already seen 😂

Caesar seems to have learned from Hannibal a lot of things regarding walls and forts
I would love to see what Hannibal could do with a Late Republic legion. He wasn't as politically savy as other all time great generals, but there isn't a single commander from that time other than maybe Caesar in a protracted campaign who could beat Hannibal on the field. Should have been born a Roman lol.
@@geordiejones5618 Hmmm... Late rep legion commanded by whom though?
Regarding Hannibal facing someone though, I would have a list of people I'd love to see him go against.
Marcus Agrippa
Majorianus
Belisarius
to name a few.
Well, we are technically modern Romans if following the Roman cultural children.
Awww yis. I love having a series in a single video. Just click that bad boy and relax.
No more of RUclips inexplicably recommending part 5 even though I just watched part 3, thus having to search for the next one by hand.

Then how'd Scipio beat Hannibal then?
Thank you for editing this together without repetitive intros and outros, I can't stand when channels make cheap 'compilation' videos that literally have the original intros and outros in each vid, adding an extra 10+ minutes to a 45+ minute video, like Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting compilations. I love Ryan George and his pitch meetings but that's so annoying and lazy.
Glad you enjoy it!
How did Hannibal maintain elephants for so long on his campaign? The logistics of supplies in this day to maintain so many men for so long blows my mind.
Scipio: this guy’s gorilla warfare is driving me bananas
Hahaha.
Hannibal strategy are simple but yet, effective. Always flank the enemy to attack them at its most vulnerable side. Never engage the enemy when you are not ready. Hold fast and don't rush into decisions. Never give your trust away too easily, always keep your eyes peel. Never march an army on a empty stomach.
Absolute master at flanking maneuvers and incredible to me how he was able to stay ahead of every ambush. This man was meant for war, some might argue he could have even challenged the likes of Alexander.
This guy was a pro in special forces tactics
19:00 the 3d canyon effects are really neat! I thought I was tripping at first lol

Hannibal was one of the best military generals
Correction, THE best
Better than Alexander the great? And julius caeser?
@@karldilkington8802 I'd say better than Alexander, I'd personally tie him with Caesar. Alexander imo is overrated, all his battles were won in a huge part thanks to his troops, rather than he himself having a big impact, unlike Hannibal or Caesar. Plus the absolute tactical masterpiece that was Cannae imo trumps all of Alexander's victories, not only did he inherit the army from his father, but again imho never quite achieved a brilliant of a maneuver as Hannibal had at Cannae, or what can be called one of the most successful ambushes of all time at lake Trasimene for example.
True, hannibal faced more challenges than alexander
@@sacredband7089 Precisely. He faced an enemy(Rome) who had more manpower, an outright superior army, they were devoted to fighting the war unlike Carthage, so he didn't have even his country's support in an already underdog fight, compare that to Alexander, the Macedonian army at the time was the best in the world, if anything he had a superior army to Persia's, full of battle hardened, professional soldiers of the phalanx&the elite cavalry the companions, his only real disadvantage was being outnumbered, and unlike Hannibal had his country's support.
This is a really well-done documentary and very interesting. I like how smart Hannibal was. He fought with his head, and it was obvious that the Roman generals, used to strength in numbers, were always on the back foot in trying to outwit him.
Imagine what Rome could have done if they had Hannibal on their side.
It depends of what era. I think scipio still a better general than hannibal

Jersey MusicMan333 nah Rome has too much impact on our daily lives here in the west. I can’t even imagine what our world would look like if the Roman Empire never existed. It’s like trying to predict what will happen a 1000 years in the future, there’s just too many variables that we will never know to take into account
The seriousness of the narration combined with the funny chat bubbles make these videos IRRESISTIBLE!!
Your documentaries are top notch , it's like watching a movie . Best Battle documentaries on RUclips right now . This is how it should be done , not just infodump a lot of facts like some other channels
Hannibal's greatest achievement? Coining the phrase, " I love it when a plan comes together".

Everybody gangsta until the mountains start moving
I have been obsessed with Hannibal barca for a while. He is just amazing! This was such a great way to showcase his brilliance.
The production quality on these is insane
Cisalpine Gaul: Let me help you, friend.
Hannibal: Ah sh*t, here we go again.
I am convinced that the phrase 'can you imagine the gall of that ___' is just a bastardization of Gaul. just an unjustifiable audacity in the way they acted. Just as the relationship of 'vandalism' and the Vandals.

Hello Everyone, just here to remind people that even though I agree our ~African Hero~ had darker skin color, he was still white/caucasian. Sorry to dissapoint but truth hurts. This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.
he looked like a modern day Tunisian
@@alaothman858 His mother were from Levant region (modern day Syria), I'm not sure what his father were, his father were properly native north African either from modern day Tunisia or Libya since both were defending Carthage in it last battle while all other nations left it over and back the Roman including Numidians
🤔 Barcid family were Black Jews lol; a division of the Maccabees and remnant of the Jews left over from King Solomon and the Phoenician black Canaanite seafarers. Xanthippus clan were under the Barcas and 3 sons died serving the Maccabees. Classic Latin,Persian and Arabic literature describe these people as NEGROES.
The same remnant would be the North African corps of the 1st Muslim Conquest; anybody whos knows WTF they're talking about knows these were the Black Moors who would Run Spain 700's-1100's and become notorious in the architecture of EVERY EUROPEAN country and coveted as Eunuchs in Royal courts in Africa/Europe/Persia and India..
This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.
Hannibal really used the Numidian cavalry to their best .CZ he knows how good they're in adapting to all situations .
This is the calmest war ever, truly a pacific war
Love the animations. Visual cues beyond only the battle formations are great. I'm sure they take a lot of work combined.
