- The nomadic Mongols essentially lived on horseback. The constant internal conflicts and battles with neighbors, like the Tartars, persisted until Genghis Khan, an orphaned son of a chief and considered a bastard, ascended to the position of the Great Khan. Under Temujin's leadership, the Mongol tribes unified, creating an unstoppable cavalry army. The Mongols developed increasingly sophisticated tactics, ranging from annual mass hunts forming large circles to trap enemies to strategic retreats in battle. These strategies relied on rapid information dissemination, making Khunbish's role as a courier, primarily on well-organized relay routes, pivotal.

The Mongols were able to neglect the laws of military logistics. No other army on that planet can cover these distances, even today. Try to send 100.000 troops and additional 600.000 horses to places that are some thousand miles away. Every logistic expert will refuse that task.
They have had the innovative and perfectly functioning logistics. That is why they defeated al their enemies
they're nomads and primarily eat meat that they herd. so their foods are always with them and would never spoil because they bring those animals alive until it's time to eat.
Mongols were able to travel long distances because of every soldier were skilled at either herding, medicine, hunting, foraging, building, forging, fixing and many more. But Mongols were able to advance and expand their territory because of newly conquered people who served the Mongols. Like for example the Mongol invasions of India, Palestine, East Europe and many more were supported by Russian, Persian and Arabian auxiliaries and armies. Mongols after Mongke Khan's death failed to conquer Japan, Indonesia and Dai Viet by using this strategy.

These were intelligent warriors. Respect to the Mongolians
The best Mongol generals, including Subutai, had the ability to break a large army up into highly mobile units that could act independently and coordinate an offensive over large distances. This had never happened before in the history of warfare, and it would not be successfully replicated until over 500 years later with Napoleon's corps system. The Mongols were truly ahead of their time.
That happened over 1,000 years prior to the Mongols, under Alexander the Great, during his conquest of Persia. I don't think they would have stood a chance against Subutai, but it did happen.
@@chrysanth267 Alexander broke his army apart during individual battles, and used the pincer attack to surround any units. But his army did not break into several units that operated in unison over hundreds of kilometers. That was what the Mongols accomplished and enemies were often overwhelmed, because the Mongols essentially established a military front that could not be defended against
@@plr2473 I'm familiar with Jebe and Subutai's exploits, and they were badass.
Alexander split his forces into various Corps to put down revolts, and lay siege to various cities, when he was campaigning in modern day Pakistan.
Hundreds of years later during the Arab conquests in the 700s AD, the forces of Muhammad would also split into Corps to retake the Arabian Peninsula, and they would do it again later during their war with the Byzantines.
Those maneuvers had nothing on the Mongol's scale or ferocity. Also sorry, I'm not saying you're wrong in any way. I misread your original comment and was making an addition, but I agree completely... "This had never happened before in the history of warfare, and it would not be successfully replicated until over 500 years later with Napoleon's corps system. The Mongols were truly ahead of their time."
Nah the qing dynasty did it before napoleon with their banner armies. Apparently they learned it from mongols.
@@chrysanth267 Okay. I stand corrected as well. It was not unique to the Mongols to break an army into corps. But the Mongols ability to rapidly deploy their corps and send them over vast distances in a short time--this set them apart
Douglas MacArthur wrote the following of Genghis Khan “ “He crossed great rivers and mountain ranges, he reduced walled cities in his path and swept onward to destroy nations and pulverize whole civilizations. On the battlefield his troops maneuvered so swiftly and skillfully and struck with such devastating speed that times without number they defeated armies overwhelmingly superior to themselves.”
Crazy badass
If these armies were indeed "overwhelmingly superior", why they were defeated utterly? The opposite is true: These armies which the Mongolian army fought with were indeed inferior at that time - often slow, heavily protected infantries!
@@bbatjargal1549 i guess “superior “ means numerically superior
@@eaststorm1282 OK. That is true. This shows that in wars and battlefields, the numerical superiority is secondary to the battlefield strategies and tactics! The latter is true even today.

Thank you for this video. I've been fascinated by the Mongol Empire ever since I first learned about Marco Polo's travels when I was a kid. I try to read everything I can about the Mongol Empire, as well as watching videos like this. You've made my weekend!

Characteristics of Mongolian Horses
1. Hardiness
Mongolian horses, having evolved in the harsh Mongolian environment, can eat a variety of forage, including hay, grass, leaves, and even bark.
They can survive for days without water and have an excellent ability to find water on their own.
Mongolian horses have an endurance two times greater than European horses and can endure rugged terrain.
2. Mobility
With exceptional stamina and speed, Mongolian horses enable rapid and efficient maneuvering.
Mongol cavalry utilized this mobility to surprise and encircle enemies.
3. Adaptability
Mongolian horses are capable of withstanding extreme cold and heat and can adapt to diverse environments.
This adaptability greatly contributed to the Mongol Empire's conquest of vast territories.
4. Composure
Mongolian horses maintain their composure even in battle and follow the commands of their riders well.
Mongol cavalry leveraged this calmness to successfully execute tactics such as night raids and ambushes.
They were also smaller on average compared to Western Horses, which meant they didn't need as much food or water to keep traveling for long distances.
Eisenhower's quote couldn't be more relevant today. Just as this videos is. We are entering another age of wars, and learning the history of war can help us more than we ever imagined.
another age of wars.... bro the later half of the centuries has only been about wars, the start of this century started the same.... the ukraine war... is just a continuation of what was before.... this one is another proxy war
Age of war? Wydm? There has been one war or another going on somewhere since ww2 ended. It being close or far from where you live is irrelevant.
I had the same "Hope" when leaving Vietnam, and 50 years later they haven't learned One Damned Thing, other than to keep making the same Stupid Mistakes, Over, Over And Over Again. Witness Ukraine, and Israel, and soon, I fear, Iran joins the band
Some of my guys told me about this video. They weren't wrong. It's a good one.
Really loving this Warriors way docs
New video! Thanks
Thank you for saying what you did, Mr. Eisenhower.
Wow, all these people are fascinating. Asia had Mongols, north America Comanches and the Caribbean Caribs. All of them fascinate me.
You're right!! Watch Genghis khan series with 30 episodes!! It might be different experience that you try!! And whole Mongol Tartarian thing!!
The Comanches didn’t face men with iron and organized armies… only the mongols did that
Why no one said about ...Mongols made first paper money and passport in this planet.

The Huns were Mongols' ancestors. Huns directly translates to humans in mongolian language. But im sure the Huns were a mix of many mongol and turkic tribes just like how the mongol empire was a mix of mongol and turkic tribes.
No. The Mongol's ancestors were the Wuhuan and possibly the Xiongnu. The Huns were likely the northern Xiongnu who were defeated and chased out of Mongolia & Siberia by the Han Dynasty and fled westward.
The Mongols reached the Adriatic shores during the Campaigns of Batu Khan and Duke Qadan and during their campaigns, They ravaged Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Hungary, defeating the Kings Stefan I and Bela IV. As they blitzed and swarmed into Poland, they crushed the Polish King Konrad I and Austrian King Wenceslauz I crushing the coalition forces made up of German Teutonic and Norman knights, the Crusader Franco-Latin Empire and almost sacked Constantinople and even had plans to extend and reach Westwards to Scandinavia, Southwards to Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula but was thwarted just because Emperor Oghedei died of brain hemorrhage and cardiac arrest.
One of the most significant and influential deaths in human history.

Actually, neither of those two statements are accurate. The ones who used that method you speak of were the Huns. At the very least, they were the first ones that were documented to have done so. The Romans wrote about how they ate raw meat. I’m sure the Mongols did it as well, but the Huns did it before them, and with them it was more widespread.
@@gilberto8782eating raw meat? 😂 that is very barbarian. It sounds like the other myth where they believed mongols were half horse and half men. Or that they boiled humans 😅 it’s strange to hear that even now those exaggerated bedtime stories for bad children are still there.
West has always shown Genghis Kahn as a barbarian but in fact he was very disciplined, soft to his people and passionate about his religion ( tengrism a branch of shivaite of sanatana) .❤❤❤
The guy with the beard is really not a Mongol. :) an Eagle hunt has never been a Mongolian tradition. Mongols adored birds and thought they were from the heavens, so never dared to domesticate them. Khazakhs did. The guy in the beard looks Turkic, and the eagle hunt is the khazakh tradition. Lately, the turks and Khazakhs are really trying to connect the history with the Mongols. Probably we were interconnected, but I don’t like the fact that they are trying to twist the history.

Incidentally, many Mongolian traditional wrestlers go to Japan for Japanese traditional Sumo wrestling; since over 2 decades ago, the Mongolians have adapted Japanese Sumo rules & have been doing very well producing quite a few Sumo champions called Yokozuna in Japan. W/ their unwavering determination & resolute dedication to excel in the world of Sumo in Japan, they have been successfully prevailing by defeating most of Japanese opponents ( Of course there are some strong Eastern European Sumo wrestlers as well such as Tochinoshin & Koto-Ohshu who had retired ). If you become Yokozuna, champion in the realm of Sumo, you'd be treated as " demigod " appearing on NHK ( equivalent w/ British BBC ) Tv often & at the same time you gain high fame & respect on top of tremendous wealth. That is the core difference from the pro-wrestlers in the West, i.e., no respect or fame on western wrestlers, right? But like anything else, there is the dark side of Sumo as well. Soundly enjoyed & appreciated it to the core at the opulent comfort of my home. (12/12/23)

и интересно почему именно найманы, кереиты джалиры конраты и чингизиды - настоящие монголы?
Потому что среди казахов есть племена с такими названиями???
И это чушь...
уход от ответа
Среди настоящих монгол бурятов нет найманов, кереитов, конратов, джалаиров и самое главное нет торе(чингизидов), но они настоящие монголы, так получается по лингвистическим исследованиям Владимирцова, а среди казахов есть эти рода как найманы, кереиты, джалаиры, конраты и самое главное есть торе(чингизиды), причем законно избранные... Как объясните это противоречи
Анатолий Оловинцов: «Чингисхан не был монголом»
Фото : 3 июля 2013, 11:24
Нации монголы исторически не существовало, это название политическое, утверждает историк-чингизовед, академик Анатолий Оловинцов.
По его мнению, в XIII веке в евразийской степи все были тюрками, в том числе и Чингисхан, и делились на разные племена. Позже, собрав их в единое государство, Чингисхан назвал его условно «Монголия», что значит «вечное войско», пишет газета «Мегаполис».
- Анатолий Григорьевич, с чего вы взяли, что Чингисхан был тюрком?
- Это открытие я сделал после долгого изучения различных исторических документов. Судите сами. В истории нет ни одного слова, написанного на монгольском языке, а на тюркском - сколько угодно. Сохранилась переписка приближённых Чингисхана с западными королями, она велась на тюркском языке. Послание к потомкам Хубилай-хана, письма некоторых правителей из Центральной Азии написаны на тюркском языке и выполнены древнеуйгурским шрифтом. Кроме того, до наших дней дошёл чингизитов камень, выполненный при жизни великого завоевателя, надписи на нём на тюркском языке. Если бы в то время существовал монгольский язык, зачем Чингисхану тюркские надписи? Отсюда следует вывод, что Чингисхан говорил и писал на тюркском языке.
- Откуда же тогда взялись монголы?
- Такого этноса вообще не было. Название «Монголия» - политическое. Это как в США есть нация американец. А кто такие американцы? Это все люди, которые живут в данной стране: англичане, африканцы, итальянцы и так далее. Или, к примеру, раньше мы все были советским народом, но никто же не разговаривал на советском языке. Казахи говорили на казахском, а русские - на русском.
Во времена Чингисхана в евразийской степи все были тюрками, они делились на татар, кереев, джалаиров, найманов и проч. Согласно летописям, однажды в ставку Чингисхана прибыл посол Китая Мэнхун, а самого завоевателя там не было, он находился в походах. Так вот, посол разговаривал с наместником Чингисхана Мухали и спрашивал у него: «Ты кто?». Мухали отвечал: «Я татарский человек». Раньше ведь татары были в почёте.
Таким образом, Чингисхана окружали очень разные по национальности люди. Когда он решил образовать своё государство, то объединил всех этих людей в единый народ. А как назвать страну, в которой такое разношёрстное население? Монголия - самое нейтральное и громкое название от слов «мэнгу» - вечный и «кол» - войско - «вечное войско».
- Вернёмся к Чингисхану. Есть вероятность, что он был казахом?
- Сейчас сложно судить. Я думаю, нельзя перетягивать его национальную принадлежность в свою сторону и говорить, что он казах. Хотя сейчас все стараются это сделать. Татары и даже якуты уже говорят, что он был их нации. Это неправильно, он тюрок, а когда образовал своё государство, стал монголом и велел похоронить себя на территории этой страны.

УЧЕННЫЕ МИРОВОГО КРОВНЯ ЧИНГИС-ХАНА ОБЪЯВЛЯЛИ КАЗАХОМ ! Декабрь, 2015 г.
После многочисленных дебатов и споров ученные мирового уровня пришли к выводу, что Чингис-хан был казахом! Кто участвовали в научном состязание «Правда о Чингис-хана» объявили о своих решениях. СHINGIZ_02/
Об этом объявляет NUR. KZ. ссаяс на EXPRESS-K. KZ.
Жаркен Бодеш, у которого исследовательские работы признаны самыми лучшими выступая перед ученными приводил особые факты из жизни легендарного хана. С выводами молодых ученных, о том, что Чингис-хан вышел от кочевных племен согласны и поддерживают все знаменитые ученные мира. Например, украинский историк Владимир Белинский очень уверен, что это правда, о том, что Чингис-хан был казахом. Он привел очень доказанные факты в науке. Отец Чингис-хана был вождем тюркской племени - киат. А сам Чингис-хан попозже с племенами - Меркиты, Найманы и Керейы создал империю Чингис-хана. Историк исследователь привел еще один факт о том, что монголы своих правителей не назвали ханами как у тюроков, а назвали своих правителей - Контайчи. Еще В. Белинский привел факт о том, что у монголов и не было традицией садить своих правителей на белую кочму. Эта традиция была только у казахов. У Чингис-хана настоящее имя Темуджин (Темиршин) тоже тюркское имя. Приемным отцом Чингис-хана был казах-киат. А родным отцом был казах-меркит. Об этом хорошо написано в средневековом историческом документе, который дошел до нас «Древняя тайна монголов». Название монгол тоже казахское. Только его безстыда присвоили современные монголы-бывшие Киданы-ХАЛКА, которые переехали из государства Восточное Ляо, из Манжурии во время Монке-хана, внука Чингис-хана. Когда он начал войну против Южного Китая и нанимал в войну очень много Киданов в армию . От Киданов вышли три народа-буряты, Джунгар-монголы и ХАЛКА. Вот эти теперешние монголы потомки ХАЛКА и до 1919 года так и назывались ХАЛКОЙ ! И в том году они получили название «МОНГОЛ», хотя это название было казах-татарское и себя без стыда начали назвать потомками Империи Чингис-хана ! У Халка только впервые появилось первое свое государство в том в 1919 году с помощи России ! В самом главном историческом документе про Чингис-хана, которого написали еще в средние века, «Древние таины монголов» нет ни одного слово о современных монголов-ХАЛКА ! Этот документ теперь напечатан почти во всех странах. Еще, он написан только в чисто Казах-татарском языке, с Казах-Найманским алфавитом ! Во всех монетах, которых отчиканил Чингис-хан надписи тоже только на Казах-Татарском-тюркском языке. Европейский монах -миссионер Иоан де Карпини, который побывал в столице Империи Чингис-хана-Каракоруме после смерти Чингис-хана написал, что все там жители говорят на Татар - Тюкском языке и все жители тоже Казах - татары. Значит, вся история тепершних ХАЛКА-просто фальшивка ! Вера у Чингис-хана была Казах-Татарская «Тенгрианство». А у этих Киданов-Халка никогда не было такой религии. Тегрианство-- было религией только у ТЮРОК, в том числе у Казахов и у некоторых

"Western thinking is too narrow and superficial; apparently, there still exists a fear of nomads. Only nomads themselves, like the Gurkhas in India, the Ottomans in Europe, or the Mamluks in Egypt, could halt the advance of nomads. Nomads controlled the Northern and Southern Silk Roads, introducing to Europe such items as glass, porcelain, gunpowder, silk, iron, courier services, the concept of "zero" in mathematics, population census, taxation - all of which originated from China and the Middle East. Yet, your historians seem to remember only the killings, even though colonization by Britain, Spain, and other European countries actually set back the development of conquered nations by hundreds of years.

@LawyerSean Perhaps... at least some genealogical testing indicates that some Hunnic remains can be traced back to Mongolia... that is a line of thought. But even then, you may as well say that the Mongols and the Turkic Ottomans were the same people, or Russia and the old Rus Principalities.
With regards to the nomadic horse lords, they may have originated on the Steppe, but steppe-life is not without it's diversity.
I wonder if the Ottomans would have considered the Mongols and themselves the same people, or if the Mongols would have considered themselves the same as the Huns. Hard to say since, the Huns existed hundreds of years before the 13th and 14th century descendants of the Great Khan.
Very little is known about Hunnic culture, and less is known about their language. There are also mixed opinions on their geographical origins.
I left my original comment because, while the 13th and 14th century Mongols committed atrocities on par with the Nazis during WW2, there are many notable incidents where they spared intellectuals. For example, they might annihilate a population of 50,000 civilians, but spare the engineers and artisans.
I'm not sure if there are recorded instances where the Huns did the same thing. Meanwhile, I'm aware that the Romans recorded all or most of the history we have of the Huns, so their records are very biased against the Huns. I just thought that the guy in the interview talking about the Mongols was so funny, because his perspective seemed so one-dimensional and very hyped.
@LawyerSean I respect your take on this topic with your origin and interest in the subject. I'm sure that language barriers and the geographic distance between the East and West play a big part in these kinds of misunderstandings, and that's too bad. Hopefully knowledge that is separated by different languages and cultures will continue to become more accessible for everyone to learn from.

This painting is a painting by the court painter Lang Shining (Italian) of the Qing Dynasty. The character in the painting is Ayuxi, a warrior of the Junggar tribe in Oirat Mongolia.
During the reign of Galdan Celing, Ayuxi was in charge of pastoral affairs. Later, he was convicted and feared that he would be brought to justice, so he turned to the Qing court to serve.
In the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign (1750), Ayuxi was promoted to bodyguard by Emperor Qianlong due to Salal's recommendation. In the 20th year of Qianlong's reign (1755), he accompanied the Qing army to conquer Dawaqi in the Junggar tribe. More than 6,500 people from the Junggar tribe were captured, 20 nobles from the Junggar tribe were captured, and 4 nobles from the Junggar tribe were killed. Emperor Qianlong praised his bravery, composed a song of Ayuxi, made an inscription recording his achievements, and awarded him the rank of minister.
@@Tomoesong By this time, the Ming Dynasty had already perished. In 1636, 16 tribes and 49 feudal tribes in Inner Mongolia took the initiative to belong to the Qing Dynasty. They were not allies, but became part of the Qing Empire. In 1691, Outer Mongolia belonged to the Qing Empire. This painting was painted in 1755 Later, this is a painting after the Qing Empire defeated the Jungar Mongols.

@@seka1986 The Mongol Empire were never good sailors. Failed to conquer, Japan, Taiwan, and Java. and never tried to Conquer Hawaii, let alone Brazil
@@seka1986 Brazil has literally nothing to do with the Khan empire you clown 🤡

Indian and Chinese cultures were too strong the mongols all sinicized or Indianized
they filmed in mongolia but they couldnt find any mongolians

Khans mother was actually a kidnapped bride from another tribe by HIS father BEFORE he was born. Not sure why thus was misrepresented here.
What these experts forgot to mention is that dairy products played large part in mongol diet...dried cheese, milk curds, dried milk, beef jerkys

Make some videos on Indian empires too, you get your maximum viewership from here.
So many inaccuracies I am not going to continue watching. The last stupidity was that mongol horse were fast 💨. In fact they were slow. What they can do however is trot all day. They can cover, on average, a thousand miles far faster than others because of this incredible endurance and, as mentioned, the rotation of the horses.
Interesting, didn't know this, but you are taking them way to literally. When you try to sum up a Century of empire in 48 minutes, you don't have time to give the sort of nuance that you are expecting from them.
Nobody hates war as much as the old soldier who fought in many battles! McArthur
they fighting also with serbs, do you have chronicle of that?

Read Farley Mowatt's " People of the Deer. " I recommend it highly. A Canadian authour. The skills that people needed to survive, in those days are unfortunately almost lost to us.
The cost of a Mongol invasion into Europe might have been "beneficial" to expand far eastern technologies, but you have to weigh in the human cost. Baghdad didn't recover to pre-Mongol invasion population until the 19th century. Listen to the The Wrath of Khans series that Dan Carlin made in the Hardcore History Podcast.
To be fair, most of the technological advancement in the East came out of China not Mongolia that's for sure
Thumail image is not Mogolian army.
It's Manchurian(Jurchen) army. (Ayusi)
it's hard to conquer but it's even harder to keep a territory that's why his empire fell apart so quickly
Shooting arrows backwards were done by the Goguryeo warriors (ancient Korean kingdom 30 BC ~ 500 AD) and other people of the central northern asia. It is done with training but because of the way the horses gallop in different pattern that stablizes the ride
True in Europa Bulgarians , and Hungarians are Great Masters for Horse Archery in 7-11 century
The Polish cavalry called the hussars or 'winged horsemen' were amongst the deadliest army units in Europe, playing a crucial role in military history. Mongols primary advantage was in large numbers.
Not true...at the battle of mohi 20,000 mongols under subutai general destroyed combined hungarian, polish and kipchak forces of 80,000 strong
They crushed the polish force at legnica
Mongols beat the Hungarian cavalry with half of their entire force that was in Central Europe at the time. And it was just an expeditionary force..
2 minutes of padding at the beginning. Brutal
The tents of the Mongols was not a Yurt. The correct name for them is a Gher. In his book of laws known as the great Yasah, he refers to the Mongols as "the people of the felt walled tents" a Gher.
A comparison could be the Modern US Army ( Chingis khaan with longest-range archery and cavalry with 6 spare horses each soldiers ) fights with the WWI Army ( Alexsander’s spear infantries)
Except. Wait for it.....the Mongols ::raiding horns::
Well riders have allways outmanouvered farmers. Romans was the first ones to give riders a challenge. Parthians won and lost to rome. Ziska was the first one to neutralize rider advantage completely.
Urdu or Ordu means related to Military camp
I'm surprised to see such a tale. At that time, we called Mongols the Naimans, Kereys, Merkits, Jalayirs, Uisins, Konyrat, these people preserved their traditions and today became Kazakhs.
lol😂😂😂
🤦
that was a dumb explanation we integrated all these subgroups they still have some of their traditions and accents also the Kazakhs are an entirely different people's...
'12th and 13th century'... Make that 13th and 14th century.
flee-return-ambush-attack, this is a politics and military philosophy created by SunZu thousands yrs ago. Unfortunately, mongol we're always nothing but a buncha uncivilized warriors who knew everything about surviving through killing, assassins, and threatening but knew nothing about armored themselves through creating cultures which could've helped them tytytainment their slaves as good as enemies (which is exactly what us empire is doing)…so that's why
when Mongol conquered every city, occupied every land, controlled every castle, on and on at the end of the day all of which they predated and captured would become their own burden to move forward, they got everything equals to lost everything, that's Also from SunZu.
Guess Mongolians didn't read enough Sun Tsui
Some of the greatest warriors of the middle ages. Built one of the largest empires of all time. And then collapsed leaving not one scrap of cultural legacy.
Uh.
The ultimate form of culture are genes. Most of Central Asia are his descendants.
That’s a lot of culture.
@@slamdunktigercompare it with Muslim conquest. The areas they conquered thousands of years back would fight and die in the name of Islam till this day. The ultimate culture is not genes , it’s the way of life and what you believe. This is something which genghis couldn’t achieve. He simply conquered area, he couldn’t retain his mark
Are you sure about that? That's a lot of confirmation bias. I guess you're not a MD either if you think culture is more tangible than genes. All good, whatever.@@dr.shahidkarim8420
@@dr.shahidkarim8420they didn't want to leave their mark. They just loved warfare. Most Mongols got bored and returned home after the empire was established.
The cover is a Manchu cavalry, not a Mongolian.
But the video cover is a famous Manchu hero.

Sorry but its true historical fact

It’s just my opinion 😊 but after studying history for decades I would say that the 2 empires that have had the greatest or largest impact on the world are the Roman and the British Empires.
I’m not saying they were the best or biggest or first etc
I’m simply saying they had the most impact and/or the longest lasting and maybe the most significant impact.
The Roman Empire is still having an impact today in many ways.
The British Empire has arguably had the most significant impact on the modern world.
English is now considered the language of business in almost every country.
And you can trace every modern democracy to the British Empire either directly or indirectly.
Including but not limited to
America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Israel and all the European countries that exist today because of England (and USA) freeing them from the Nazis.
Yes you can trace modern democracy (theory) back to Rome and Greece, but it was the British Empire, and the countries it spawned, that spread it around the globe.
British empire is simply the most recent and thus we feel its impact the most. The Roman empire is way over blown although impressive.
Forgot to add
the Spanish Empire and Russian Empire to that list
You might want to brush up on your history friend...bit of a Whiggish spin you have on things...and completely divorced from the facts of reality
By the way Eagle Hunters shown are Qazaq people not mongol
the Mongol hordes were more like the Einsatzgruppen Nazi death squads than a regular army. most of their victims were unarmed men. women and children not elite military units. 57 years after Genghis Khan’s death the Mongol force attacking Hungary in 1285 was annihilated. a year later the Mongols were routed in Poland. the Mongols Never posed a serious threat to those countries or Europe again. what happened to the vaunted Mongol war machine? the Roman legions didn’t fall apart 57 years after Augustus died.
Well 70 yrs ago 50 million ppl died in wars so i dont know how different times were back then
The overall population back then was much smaller so 50 million was approximately 10% of the whole population on earth. While 50 million 70 years ago was 2% of the population.
@@ranjava5550 yes i know still we are barbarians today tech does not change anything
@@ranjava5550 And in addition to that, the 50 million people were the result of a worldwide war.
The Mongolians were just building an empire from the coast of China to the boarders of Europe, and it was conquest by killing, not declarations of war by different countries like WW2.
Even Hitler’s concentration camps and Stalin’s purges in the 1930’s didn’t even come close to that.
@@blockmasterscott read an actual book b4 writing this blasphemy. Chinggis Khaan was very well known for asking for fight or surrender, just bc other countries chose fight and couldn't handle him should not paint the great Khaan in a bad colour.

I always find it funny when people play the "they werent too bad considering the time period" game. Im sure people loved being murdered and robbed back in those days lol
Well if you consider most places had ppl living with that fear anyway, belonging to the ppl that the mongols oversaw could actually be preferable sometimes. Theres a reason the hordes were pretty mixed.
Only assholes say I find it funny when
I dated a Russian exchange student in high school who was from a village in southern russia.she looked very Chinese and traced her ancestors to the Mongolian war machine.Coolest gal I've ever known.
Yeah most asian-looking Russians Windows regions are definitely Mongols who assimulated overtime

The thumbnail picture is not a Mongol rather a Manchurian.
准噶尔蒙古人，阿玉锡，后来投降了清朝，对自己同胞重拳出击，被乾隆画像表彰
The cover of the video shows Manchurian cavalry, not Mongols.
The Mongols were small in stature and rode small horses. The European horses were much bigger and quickly caught up with the little horse. Therefore, their favorite tactic of retreating to lure the enemy into an ambush did not work.
The Mongols met in Europe with huge people with huge horses. The European warriors were dressed in iron armor and better armed. Europeans lived in impregnable castles and fortresses. the area was wooded where the Mongol was uncomfortable. Europeans like Robin Hood hid in the forests and attacked suddenly terrifying the Mongols. technically and culturally, the Europeans were much more developed, they had developed science. The European knights were well-trained soldiers, and the Mongol detachment consisted of ordinary shepherds.
all of this together played a role. The Mongols realized that the Europeans could not be defeated and went back to Mongolia.
Europeans were not superior. The Mongols defeated the Europeans on numerous occasions. The Mongols also had iron armor and heavy cavalry. After defeating and annihilating several European armies, the Mongols went no further than eastern Germany. It's unclear why, but none of the reasons you listed are correct.
Mongols were also well-trained soldiers, in addition to being shepherds. Being a Mongolian shepard also means being a warrior, so even if the Mongols didn't have any well-trained soldiers, which they actually did, they would still be a match for anyone. Mongolian people to this day must wrestle camels and other large animals. Back then, they had to fight off wolves and tigers. They don't fear human beings.
At that time, in the 12th and 13th centuries, the Europeans had developed science. Rather, Vedic, Persian, Arab, and Chinese civilizations had developed science. Europeans began developing science during the 15th century. The Europeans learned much of their scientific knowledge from the medieval Islamic world during the crusades.
The Mongol culture and technology as nomadic people were actually pretty impressive, and although nomadic, they were on par with other civilizations as far as weapon crafting, armor, and clothing production. They began using gunpowder weapons 300 years before the Europeans, as evidenced by the grenades used against Japan by the Mongols, adapted from Chinese weaponry at that time.
I see someone still has difficulty accepting the fact that Europeans were not and aren't superior for their entire history. Your comments are the reason why people look down on Europeans now. Overweening arrogance, a big ego, self-centered, conceited, delusional, and derogatory towards others and very dualistic in their thinking.
@@jonghoonpark5497 To the Mongols, the Europeans seemed like giants.
42:00 what are you talking about, the Iranians benefited from the mongol conquest? Most of their population killed, their great irrigation system destroyed.
