The Sassanid Empire was weakened after the war of 602-628 against the Byzantine Empire bit.ly/2BLg5lV and their defeats at al-Qadisiyyah bit.ly/2QwTBvL and Nahavand at the hands of the Caliphate forces effectively ended the empire. Still, representatives of the House of Sasan continued resisting and found allies - the Tang dynasty in China.

Fun fact : after the bastard An Lushan rebellion ,Tang China was financially devastated meaning she could no longer afford to pay Persian and other foreign nobles and ambassadors benefits so instead they were converted into the Tang military and started being paid wages for military service.

"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." W. Durant
Not really sure this applies to the Persians...
The Doom From Latveria I think it does. Before they were toppled, the Persians continuously had bad transfers of power (assassinations, deposings, etc), which weakened their empire from within.
@@adrianbundy3249 check out extra credits Khosrow video series and you'll see how the sassanids weakenen themselves so bad
Rostram1369, The Sassanid empire =/= the persian emprie.
I am talking about what is colloquially called THE Persian empire, ie: the Achaemenid/Persian Empire that was ultimately put in power by Cyrus the great, and overthrown by Alexander the Great.
They seemed to have a great C&C infrastructure with their various governors, were handling rebellions well, still had a lot of wealth, troops, and people loyal to them in a lot of the more important places. They seemed to be just overthrown from without by Alexander. And of course, the inability to conquer greece in the centuries prior, but that still wasn't from within.
@@adrianbundy3249 not actually, if you read the history of Persian empire (50 years prior to the Alexander's conquest) you will find out about some details that eventually caused the fall of the Achaemenid Empire... for instant the structure of armies
I'm not normally one to get very emotionally invested in stories from ancient history, as much as I enjoy them, but Peroz III's story really got me. Hearing his last words got me a little bit misty-eyed. It might be naive of me, but this seems like a rather wholesome tale of friendship between cultures, at least until the last part.
You're not persian but when you heared it you got misty eye imagine you be a persian 🙂😞
@@ariyanadf5225 I hope you people can get back your homeland and your freedom. This whole thing is one of the greatest tragedies of history.
@Weasel Arabic culture also received a lot of persianisation over the centuries, cultural exchange is a natural and unavoidable occurrence and it often goes both ways. You can't expect a culture to stay the same and remain uninfluenced by it's neighbours forever, that would be ridiculous. Cultures influence eachother, that's just how it works.

sassanids had a real game of thrones
@Blue Dude but did all have exactly 7 great houses!!? You should research about seven ruleing houses of ancient Iran.. especially the Parthian and Sassanian's era!!
In Sassanian's time these seven clans/houses were called:
1. House of Karen
2. House of Mihran
3. House of Suren
4. House of Zik
5. House of Varaz
6. House of Ispahbudhan
7. House of Spandiyadh
@@1911Zoey not all had exactly seven royal houses!! The Parthian and Sassanians had exactly seven kingdoms to rule and seven different great houses to rule a part of it!! The title "king of the kings" has a reason behind it!
@@persianguy1524 not exactly Persian, but of Iranian origin.. Parthian weren't Persian
@@persianguy1524 that's just a claim to legitimize their rules! They were of Parni origin, which in reality weren't even of Parthian origin, but of Saka! They conquered Parthia first, and from there they pulled the name . In reality it's called Arsacids clan/Dynasty
@@persianguy1524 خاندان ارشک از پرنی های داها بودند! و به سکاهای (دزد) معروف بودند، مانند ماساگت ها که به سکاهای (ماه) معروف بودند! تاریخ رو تحریف نکنید لطفاً! همهی ایرانیان پارسی نیستند!
Ironically enough the Sassanids had no one to blame for this but themselves.
A few decades prior to the big arab expansions they had destroyed one of their client states, the arab Lachmids, who had functioned as a reliable bastion against any potential attacks from the arabian peninsula or the South-west in general.
This caused a power-vacuum that the new direct persian administration was unable to fill, which gave the newly united arab tribes the perfect opening to strike.
The Lakhmids and Ghasanids stayed loyal until they became Christian and the Persians were being kind of unPersian to Christians at the time and lost the control over the Arab tribes of Mesopotamia.
King Wiwuz IV not even that, If the Persian king listened to his Generals and defended his cities instead of looking down of the Arabs and sending his troops to fight the Arabs in their own desserts, Persian empire wouldn't have fallen.
They is not an arab invasion this is an islamic conquest with muslims persian contribution even greater than any other
@@farajaraf Yes the Persians had let their animosity towards the Byzantines get the better of them and had been destroying churches and exterminating Christian populations.
@@alimoradi8454 you are high or something. It was all but an Arab Invasion with a bunch of traitors aiding them.
In 1955, a tomb was found in China, which belongs to general Su Liang's wife. The tombstone says that she was dead in 874 and she was a Sassanian. She was Su Liang's wife and also his daughter, and they still believed in Zoroastrianism. That is 166 years after the death of Narseih
"She was Su Liang's wife and also his daughter" - Classic Persians. I see Xwedodah was quite popular still.

But normal people doesn't have enough brain capacity to understand this
Interesting. I knew the Sassanid family escaped to China, but I didn't know the specifics of it. This was pretty interesting and a great way for a bad day to get better.
Very sad today Persia is dominated by evil Islam.
They were once a great civilization having diplomatic and trade relations with China for over 2000 years,older than most nations today.
+太守苏定交趾
Well, Islam need not be evil, but using any religion in politics often (but not always) leads to bad results. Iran and Saudi Arabia are both Islamistic (aka, practice political Islam), and are, indeed, amongst some of the worst regimes out there today. So, while not completely correct, you aren't far from being.
An awful lot of Persians fled to India also, and the Zoroastrians are referred to as the Jews of India due to their huge success in India. I wish the best for them, they seem like an awesome lot. No religious dogma to be found relative to their awful conquerors.
@@bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642 Problem with Islam is its universality and religious xenophobia but not its politics (unity between a state and a church). Romans and Greeks practiced civil religion in its true form (unity) but they were never "fundamentally" invasive in such manner (they were xenophobic in "civic" sense, but not in a religious way) like Islam and even Christianity.
Xenophobic religions are a disease - Christianity and Islam.
just because people do evil things under Islam doesn't necessarily mean Islam is evil.

The exiled Sassanid dynasty in China is one of my favorite historical stories. I always think of them as the exiled Targaryens in far away Essos, desiring a return to their kingdom and reconquest of their previous empire - but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Will never be, its a Curse of Allah the Creator on them, as they shredder the Letter of the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him did Allah shredder their throne
@@user-ox1mv7bw3u Isn't Iran an independent country now?
@@user-ox1mv7bw3u Eh, Im much more interested in the history than the religious aspects. If you ask me, Mohammed was a zealous warlord who used a message to unite a people, nothing more or less. There is no curse of Mohammed, only steal and money and blood.
Got is based on the Sasanians there are lots of similarities between the two
@@ShahanshahShahin I thought it was about the War of the Rose's? Although I guess fiction can draw from many sources, I hadn't realized there were many Sassanian aspects
I didn't know the Persian Sassanians directly contacted the Tang Chinese, interesting stories of the Silk Road... Like the contacts between Rome and China, or the Greeks of Bactria and China
Well we got a lot of foreign stuff in Chang'an and there was a market that sold foreign goods during Tang
Bactria is modern day aghfanistan and truly aghfansitan was known as graveyard of impires
@@LauftFafa That description didn't show Afghanistan as a whore of Persia or any other empire, but the rape victim. They are also often blamed for the bad done upon them.
Persia/Iran is an interesting country. It's like the gate to east for the westerners, and the gate to west for the easterners, also the gate to the Central Asian steppes (north), and India in the south(-east). In a way it's in a similar position as Russia, and those nations have some sympathies towards each other.
And the core country of Persia is mostly protected by mountains, it's like a natural fortess. A 'plug' between Asia and Middle-East/Europe. Just think: there was only one country between Rome and China - Persia.
I think Persia is there to stop any one empire to grow too big. If Rome and China united - they would have ruled the whole world eventually. Or if they ended up in a power struggle, like empires often do, they would have burned the world.
f@@LauftFafa are you serious by saying that Liu Bei was intended to flee to Persia??
I'm an Iranian and this narration was so sad, I had a bit info about king Yazdgerd and his death but i hadn't known anything about his sons in China. I think that the story of the last king of ancient PERSIA can be adapted for a good film in Hollywood
I feel like it could be even better if it's a tv show. Imagine having all of what he said from Khosrow Parviz to Narsieh on a well written and uncensored tv show on Iranian National TV or something. And then we could have a prequel with Ardeshir sassani rising to power

As a Persian, watching this makes me sad. I know some Arabs will reply "as an Arab watching this makes me happy." Arabs had nothing positive for us.
@zyzz the jews have their slaves usa uk france to protect them
@zyzz Not actually. They are just beginning to rise again. Look at Sweden, UK, Canada, Germany and France. Unfortunately the entire western world will be Arabized in less than a century, just as it was the case for Persia.
then go back worship ur fire and stop act like if u are muslims
As a Persian too I find it tragic they had to be defeated and didn't fight longer.. .However look at the bright side,, they put up a good fight...The Incan empire now that was really tragic.... The Inca's were great but their defeats were sooooooooooo embarrassing and due to bad luck from the tactical standpoint... If just one butterfly flew in another direction the day the Inca's fell the Incan empire would still be here today,,, because Yikes the Spanish were evil and got really lucky for their dirty tactics. Alexander was defeated by the Persians at the battle of the Persian Gates... It wasn't only a last stand it was a victory by outnumbered Persian troops who made the Greeks retreat... At the 300 battle the Persian's suffered heavy losses but they didn't retreat and still won over all those Spartans and Greeks.
Lmao, Of course Arabs had positive stuff for Iran. I'm also surprised that you're sad especially since the Persian Kingdoms were notorious for invading other people and spreading their foreign religion to other ethnic groups in the middle east. It's super ironic. Always with you hypocrites.

Slight mistake at 1:43, the Shahnameh ("Book of Kings") was written by the persian poet Ferdowsi, around the year 1000 CE, some 500 years after Khosrau I. It was written to preserve the memory of their persian ancestors in the midst of cultural displacement by the Arabs. The book which Khosrau had commissioned was the Khwaday-Namag, ("Book of Lords"). It was written to preserve their own history, and may have even recorded information about the Achaemenids and Parthians, but this book is now lost.
By the time of Ferdowsi, the Persians did not know too much about their ancient ancestors, and it was before the works of Herodotus had been translated to Farsi. So during that time, the Persian scholars would rely on Jewish sources such as the Old Testament to gleam whatever information they could about their ancient ancestors such as Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes. They had even forgotten that the ruins of Persepolis was built by Darius, and so they called it Takhte-e-Jamshid, which means "Throne of Jamshid", attributing it to an ancient mythological king by the name of Jamshid. It was only in the last 150 years through archaeology and the deciphering of cuneiform that the truth started to come out.

Awesome work, guys! Also wondering, are you going to make any of your other series (Justinian restoration, Ottoman battles) into one long movie like the Mongols?
That is hard to do with Justinian and Ottoman. Stylistically they are different, also, the storyline between episodes are not connected well. Technically it is easy to stitch videos up, but it will be the combination of episodes, not a full movie.
Perfect! As always😃
*You sir are driving me INSANE waiting for the next Napoleonic Wars episode.*
The battle of mohacs 1526 is a great one to cover
It is not the very next video in our Ottoman series but will be right after that.
Kings and Generals can’t wait 👌🏼👍🏼

This is the beggining of an era when Hungary was divided into three parts. One third became the part of the Ottoman Empire. The other two third parts of Hungary became an Ottoman and a Habsburg vassal. This is also a beginning of an era when Hungary has been continuously fucked and became the Habsburg dynasty puppet. Hungary never could recover from this. Indeed, battle of Mohács was one of the biggest tragedies in Hungarian history. Despite this, Ottoman series is one of my favourite series on this channel, and cannot wait this battle.

Great video, and I'm glad you're continuing to do stuff on Persian and Chinese history, but I am also somewhat annoyed by the little mistakes, like nails on a chalkboard for a pedant. Why was Roman Britain not part of the empire in your map of the entirely united Roman Empire? It was a province until 410 AD, long after the Sasanian Battle of Hormozdgan in Iran in 224 AD. And for that matter you misspelled it as "Hormozgan" without a "d", which I don't think is some alternate spelling.
Also, at 7:00 you show several sculptures of the Chinese Tang dynasty when talking about Sasanian Persians, but these statues, while probably showing people of the Zoroastrian faith, were Sogdians (an Eastern Iranian group) who weren't necessarily under Sasanian rule. In fact, at least one of those sculptures is a Sogdian from the 8th century, a considerable while after the Sasanian Empire had fallen to the Rashidun Caliphate.
中国的地图也不是完整的。
What a great content I really enjoyed the video I didn’t know that Yazdgerd have grandsons and I thought China was too far to knew about the sassanid collapse I really learned more today cause of ur amazing job god bless you ❤️
That is really Interesting! I have learned some historical kownledge related to Tang dynasty when i studied in high school.But it is first time I learn about the life of foreigners on Tang dynasty.
5:00 I RECOGNISE THAT SOUND EFFECT ANYWHERE
ooh haah!
@Lil Awrix Age of Empires II sound effect for military unit creation
Probably your most interesting video, and I've almost seen all of your videos multiple times, if not all. This is truly an interesting period in history as one of the greatest, what would you say.... cultural geographical empires ever came to an end and it also ties in very very neatly to an expansion of your earlier videos of the arabic/muslim conquests. It got me interested in this period and I've tried to look into it, but with little success. Especially Khalid ibn al whalid!! This video contains so much information, I must know your sources so I can plunge into useless information and satisfy my inner nerd!! :)
Thanks for watching! Adding the sources for this one to the description.
Thank you so much! :)
Wow now that is some unknown history..
Thanks!!
I love your pronunciation of "Masterworks" and "Learning".
Extremely interesting topic really. So maybe, taking in account the sassanid-tang relations, during the battle of Talas some sassanid commanders fought alongside the Chinese. Also, a small note, Bactria is the name of the region next to Khorasan. Bactra (now Balkh) is the name of its capital city.
0:52 Wait a sec, that guy in the middle looks suspiciously like Ahmed from the series Marco Polo...
Yes Ahmad the finance minister of kublai
Looks like John Snow
Yea man
You mean Spock (Leonard Nimoy)?
@@historyrhymes1701 *Jon Snow

Excellent presentation
4:19
The image of a pillow gently covering her face is something I found way too funny.
A very informative piece and nicely done but one mistake I noticed that was the video stating Shahnameh was written during the Sassanid era. Ferdowsi wrote Shahnameh during the Ghaznavid rule and after the Arab invasion of Persia

SASAANI were not Persian . They were Medies Kurdish empire. And all those Kings names are Kurdish not Persian., who can stop Persians stealing fro Kurdish history . Who can stop this farce .
@@segaskara9929 You are not a Kurd yourself. You are an Azerbaijani Turk, who hate Kurds. You go around and make people hate Kurds.
