@@Endgame707 I know they had a few difficulties during their expansion, but as you see on this video, they conquered it eventually. But I think that was really in 1215 because they hadn't arrived at south-central Asia yet

The Mongol army mostly only consisted of about 100-150,000 members, very small to be controlling land that vast. The Mongol regularly fought against armies much larger than them and still managed to win.

So, Genghis family only become "de jure" commander, while "de facto" commander was his experienced generals
Yup. Feels like nomads vs city dwellers. Apparently there were an ancient sea people who pretty much destroyed what civilization there was during the bronze age. Then came the Huns who were menaces as well. You could consider the Muslims to be the same as well. Many nomadic(Bedouin) tribes united under one idea who then undertook a rapid expansion. And then there were the mongols. So yeah, pretty interesting stuff. Another thing they seem to have in common is that they all came from pretty barren and lifeless regions.
It's fascinating when you think about it, how China is the first civilization that they invade, yet it is the last one that they capture. It is also the first nation that breaks free from their control, and the only nation that conquers them in return.

Therefore my point still stand, while in China during the 1350 Ming got established by the rebel Zhu Yuanzhang (Hongwu Emperor ) and later on pretty much took most of the Yuan areas, including Mongolia, once they raided it capital. So that's 150 years earlier.

From the ancient Chinese view, it was when Mongol Empire abandoned the Chinese bureaucratic system and returned back to the "barbaric" way of life. It marks the end of Khan's mandate of heaven(legitimacy) in China. But for Mongols, the end of rule in China is probably no mean the end of the Mongol empire. Mongolians reentered to China with Manchu people in the 17th century.

@@leezanda8430 No they didn’t. If you read, my country fought them 4 times. “Submission” wasn’t even a word when the Mongol Empire threw over 90k men at Dai Viet.

A vassal and a tributary are 2 different things. 509,000 total (including Auxiliaries) 500 warships, all invaded Dai Viet and it got repelled 4 times. Korea on the other hand actually lost and was occupied for awhile until it became a vassal for the Mongol Empire.
Well The original mongolia will pretty much stay divided unti, the Qing take over... after the Fall of Yuan theres only 2 Mongolia left, and the Golden horde, aka the last great mongol state (because the chagataï even if they held longer was not nearly as powerfull as any of the other mongol state) will fall next centuary till 1466 to completely disappear in 1502.

Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups.

The historical Mongols were a federation of heterogenous groups of different nomad peoples of "Tartar" and also Türkish origin. The word "Mongol" is derived from the name of a tribe called Mongɣol or Manqol. Even if the cultural levels of these ethnic groups were different, they had a common language and a common culture which made their unification under the hand of a strong leader easier. In 1206, Temüjin (1155 or 1167-1227) of the Borjigid line of the Mongɣol adopted the title of Great Khan (qaɣan, in Chinese kèhán! 可汗). He is known as Činggis Qaɣan (Genghis Khan). Under his leadership the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia 西夏 (1038-1227) and Jin 金 (1115-1234) empires and conquered central Asia. The successors of Činggis Qaɣan created the largest empire that ever existed in premodern history. Yet this empire soon disintegrated into several states (ulus), one of which was China, ruled by the Yuan dynasty 元 (1279-1368) that was founded by Qubilai Qaɣan (Emperor Shizu 元世祖, r. 1260-1294), a grandson of Činggis.
It’s not Turkish, but Turkic. Turkish means the people of today’s Turkey. Turkic means people spoke a turkic language, which doesn’t exist anymore. The Xiongnu might be a turkic people but they did not leave any written record, and they were closely related to the Chinese people as they were on the north of china and had wars and marriages with Chinese people for centuries. Turkish language spoken in Turkey now is created after ww1. Before that Turkish people spoke Arabic.
Jochi was not son of Genghis Khan On one occasion, Chagha- dai (Jagatai), the second son, born probably in 1185, referred to Jochi as ‘‘that Merkit bastard.’’4 The bad blood between Jochi and his younger brothers is a fact of Chinggisid history. “FORGING THE MONGOL WORLD EMPIRE, 1206-1260.” Imperial China, 900-1800, by F. W. MOTE, Harvard University Press, 1999, pp. 425-443.
They returned to their homeland and fought with the Ming dynasty of China till 1636 when the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus conquered the 24 tribes of Inner Mongolia. In 1691 due to foreign attacks the Outer Mongols submitted to the Manchus. In 1755 the Dzungar Mongols surrendered. They fought for independence for the next 2 years but it ended with a massacre of over 80’000 casualties on the Dzungar part. Till 1911 the Mongols were apart of the Qing. When Mongolia gained independence they were still struggling against Russia and China and in 1924 they became a communist satellite state of the Soviet Union
Mongol empire is actually pretty much still going on to this day. Kazakhstan (Kazakh khanate) and Mongolia are both the continuations of the Mongol empire

The Golden Horde is the Turkic empire, they made the Russian knez people speak Tatar Turkic kn their palaces. In all historical sources, we are talking about a state that is referred to as the Kipchak Khanate and whose language, army, culture, population, in short, is Turkish in all aspects. Therefore, it seems very illogical to describe this state as Mongol. It comes not from Genghis Khan but from a Turkish clan who kidnapped his wife, so the ruling class is also Turkish.In the first establishment of this state, it has nothing to do with the Mongols or with the Mongol history, except that it was affiliated with the Mongol Empire.To regard this state as a Mongol is as absurd as calling every state dependent on the Abbasids during its establishment period an Arab state. The Golden Horde and his descendants were of Turkish origin not ethnic Chinggissid. There is some question as to Jochi's true paternity. Shortly after Börte's marriage to Genghis Khan (known as Temüjin at the time), she was abducted by members of the Mergidconfederation. She was given to a certain Chilger Bökh, who was the brother of the Yehe Chiledu, as a spoil of war. She remained in Chilger Bökh's captivity for a few months before she was recovered by Temüjin. Shortly afterwards she gave birth to Jochi. By all accounts, Genghis Khan treated Jochi as his first son, but a doubt always remained[whose?]whether Temüjin or Chilger Bökh was his real father. Jochi's descendants, although they formed the oldest branch of Genghis Khan's family, were never considered for the succession in claiming their father's heritage and there were signs of estrangement between Jochi and Genghis Khan. Although the Secret History ignores Börte's pregnancy when recounting her dramatic rescue, it later describes Jochi as a “Merkit b?stard. Jochi means Guest in Mongolian which confirming his non-chingissid origin. In the course of the wars by which he won a hegemony over the Mongols,he was for a while a captive in the hands of the Tayichiut tribe, and his wife Börke,whom he married when he was seventeen , was held prisoner for some months by the Merkit Turks of Lake Baikal ; the legitimacy of her eldest son,Juji,who was born during his captivity,was always therefore suspect. www.cambridge.org/tr/academic/subjects/history/european-history-1000-1450/history-crusades-volume-3?format=PB&isbn=9780521347723 (pp. 238-240) Ulus Juchi [Golden Horde or Kipchak Khanate] www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780195390155/obo-9780195390155-0119.xml Ilkhanate in Persia, the Kipchak Khanate or Golden Horde academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1052&context=lg_pubs Khan's eldest son Jochi came into possession of the Khanate of Kipchak or the Golden Horde extra.shu.ac.uk/emls/journal/index.php/emls/article/download/84/114 Golden Horde” (actually the Kipchak Khanate, or at the time of its founding Ulus of Jochi research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/10023/5149/6/ChristopherMottPhDThesis.pdf liberated themselves from the Kipchak Khanate, anachronistically known as the Golden Horde academiccommons.columbia.edu/doi/10.7916/D86D61Q4/download Others joined the khanate of the Golden Horde (also called the Western Kipchaks), which was organized on the former Cuman territory in Russia. encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Cumans He maintained close diplomatic ties with the Kipchak Khanate (also known as the Golden Horde), which controlled Crimea from the late thirteenth century to the mid fifteenth century, and commissioned the building of this mosque in Solhat (as Eski Krym was then known). beautifulspaces.omeka.fas.harvard.edu/item/661?collection=19 In 1235, the Golden Horde (Khanate of Kipchak) was founded when Batu www.springerprofessional.de/en/dynastic-cycles-and-nomadic-conquests-further-evidence-from-chin/16951782 Also known as the Kipchak Khanate or the Ulus ‘Realm’ of Jochi (c.1181-1227), the eldest of Genghis Khan... ... www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780191882913.001.0001/acref-9780191882913-e-9934?rskey=WFiysi&result=7 Jochi, established a state often known as the Golden Horde or the Kipchak khanate. www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780190622718.001.0001/acref-9780190622718-e-483?rskey=EhEmDR&result=12 It is also known as the Kipchak Khanate or as the Ulus of Jochi. thereaderwiki.com/en/Golden_horde ital of his Khanate of Kipchak, best known to history as the Gold- en Horde apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA233772.pdf Jochid or Kipchak Khanate in the Pontic-Caspian Steppes, known as www.worldcat.org/title/mongol-empire-a-historical-encyclopedia/oclc/962752105 Batu founded the Khanate of.

Horde wasnt a word the mongols called them selves, its just a word used over time from translation of different languages. The mongols never called themselves a Horde. My point being is that the Golden Horde was most likely called the Golden Heaven back in the day, Horde is a turkish word used to describe the Mongols.

Interesting, all the maps that I had seen of Genghis Khan’s empire displayed the Mongol empire at max expansion, like a recent video by thoughty2. In this video, Persia was conquered after him, which is more curious because thoughty2 made an emphasis on that conquest. Well, there’s references here. Another interesting thing is that prestigious Kublai Khan (who supposedly met Marco Polo) only ruled half the Mongol territories.
The fact that Genghis Made a Singular Mongol tribe into an empire that would leave an everlasting impact on the modern world, thank you for showing this!
Actually, his triumph was due to his ability to UNITE many warring tribes and factions in a common cause. He built bridges between diametrically opposed groups at first, then when he got powerful enough, simply CRUSHED dissent and opposition in the manner of all successful conquerers.That said, he didn't simply "expand" a single tribe: he united many tribes into a continent-crushing force the likes of which the world has never seen.

Subutai is believed to have been born between the 1160s -1170s, with sources commonly stating that 1176 was the year of his birth. This general was from a tribe known as the Uriangkhai, which was not considered to be a Mongol tribe. These were forest-dwelling people, who, unlike the Mongols, were not known to be horsemen, but specialised in fur-trading and blacksmithing. It has been recorded that Subutai was the son of a blacksmith, one source giving the name of his father as Qaban. As a blacksmith, Subutai’s father would have offered his services to the Mongols, mending broken metal objects, such as weapons and cooking vessels. It is perhaps through this that the young Subutai would have had his first encounters with the Mongols. www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/subutai-forgotten-force-behind-fearsome-mongol-military-008298
@@scourgeofgodattila579 So you're saying Subutai's tribe Uriankhai was a forest dwelling Tungustic, not Turkic nor Mongolic. Since he served as Mongolian general for imperial thrive - crushing Hungarians, Poles, Germans - we can consider him as Mongol patriot. Current Uriankhai people ruclips.net/video/l2R7eEo8Qg8/видео.html
You are all wrong, Subudei was almost definitely a Mongol as seen by more recent research into the topic: www.researchgate.net/publication/325658457_Subutai_Sorting_Fact_from_Fiction_Surrounding_the_Mongol_Empire's_Greatest_General_With_Translations_of_Subutai's_Two_Biographies_in_the_Yuan_Shi It's not a free article, so I'll copy paste the relevant part here: It also frequently appears in secondary literature that Subutai was of the Reindeer People, since there was a forest-dwelling group of people in the north-west of Mongolia who had the exonym of Uriyangqai, irrespective of whether they were Turkic or Mongolic speakers. Describing these people of the forest, Rashiduddin (Rashid al-Din) notes that they raised wild animals in the forest, travelled on sleds, and loathed the idea of living on the steppe and raising sheep or cattle like typical Mongolian nomads.24 Evidently this description of the Uriyangqai has been attached to Subutai in literature. Moreover, since the tribal name later became associated with the Tuvans, there is a persistent myth that Subutai was Tuvan. However, as Rashiduddin notes elsewhere, the group to which Subutai belonged was “separate and distinct” from the forest people.25 In fact, the clan to which he belonged was the Uriyangqat.26 The very slight difference in the form of the name, and the fact that there exists an obvious etymological connection, has led to much confusion for later scholars. However, the group to which Subutai belonged was situated among the Mongols in the Onon-Kherlen region of northeast Mongolia, closely affiliated with Chinggis Khan’s own tribal grouping, and had the practices of steppe nomads.

In reality , Mongol is not an appropriate name because while the leaders of this movement were Mongol most of their army were Turkish tribesmen . The Turkish influence in the Mongol army had been extremely extensive , the two branches of the Mongol empire - Khanat Joji ( the Golden Horde ) and Khanat Jeghtai - who ruled the region had by the fourteenth century totally adopted Turkish culture. Central Asia, which was the base of Jeghtai government, in reality was the centre of Turkish culture .

I don't intend to be annoying, but I thought you'd go as far as late 17th century, with the collapse of the Kazakh and Crimean khanates, as well as Russia and Qing China splitting Mongolia in half.

Ruy Gonzales De Clavijo, a Spanish nobleman who went to the palace of Timur to Samarkand as ambassador, stated in his book The Life of Timur & Travels from Kadiz to Samarkand, that Timur was descended from a noble generation of Turk immigrants who boasted of their lineage. [14] While Richard Bulliet says that Barlas has nothing to do with Mongols,[15] Rene Grousset [16] states that Timur's ancestry is based on Genghis in the books written in his time, whereas Timur is not related to Mongols and says that Timur is Turk..
@@j0nni235 Timur was Turkic Though not Mongol himself, Timur himself had sought to enhance the legitimacy of his rule by assuming the mantle of the line of Chaghatai Khan, with whom he claimed kinship. He had adopted the title of Gurkan (son-in-law) in reference to his marriage to Tukul Khanum, whose father was directly related to Chaghatai Khan and additionally installed a puppet king from the Chaghatid clan on the throne. Quite appropriately therefore Babur, Humayun and Akbar saw themselves first and foremost as princes of the great house of Timur (1336 - 1405), who had conquered vast tracts of territory in Central Asia and even sacked Delhi in 1398. Additionally they traced their ancestry even further back to the Mongol warrior Chenggiz Khan (1167 - 1227), who had upon his death, divided his vast Mongol empire among his four sons, a crucial event later illustrated by Akbar's artists. Mughalistan (including the western Tarim Basin and Kashgar) and Transoxania were bestowed upon his second son Chaghatai Khan (d. 1242). When these two wings of dominion were split up late in the thirteenth century, Transoxania in the west became the scene of mass conversion to Islam and a great deal of intermarriage with Turkic tribes people before it eventually fell to Timur, a Barlas Turk. Timur's descendants had ruled Transoxania until they succumbed to the forces of the Shaibanid Turks in 1508- 9. dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/54413/33337527-MIT.pdf?sequence=2

In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.

The historical Mongols were a federation of heterogenous groups of different nomad peoples of "Tartar" and also Türkish origin. The word "Mongol" is derived from the name of a tribe called Mongɣol or Manqol. Even if the cultural levels of these ethnic groups were different, they had a common language and a common culture which made their unification under the hand of a strong leader easier. In 1206, Temüjin (1155 or 1167-1227) of the Borjigid line of the Mongɣol adopted the title of Great Khan (qaɣan, in Chinese kèhán! 可汗). He is known as Činggis Qaɣan (Genghis Khan). Under his leadership the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia 西夏 (1038-1227) and Jin 金 (1115-1234) empires and conquered central Asia. The successors of Činggis Qaɣan created the largest empire that ever existed in premodern history. Yet this empire soon disintegrated into several states (ulus), one of which was China, ruled by the Yuan dynasty 元 (1279-1368) that was founded by Qubilai Qaɣan (Emperor Shizu 元世祖, r. 1260-1294), a grandson of Činggis.

It’s not Turkish, but Turkic. Turkish means the people of today’s Turkey. Turkic means people spoke a turkic language, which doesn’t exist anymore. The Xiongnu might be a turkic people but they did not leave any written record, and they were closely related to the Chinese people as they were on the north of china and had wars and marriages with Chinese people for centuries. Turkish language spoken in Turkey now is created after ww1. Before that Turkish people spoke Arabic.

They returned to their homeland and fought with the Ming dynasty of China till 1636 when the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus conquered the 24 tribes of Inner Mongolia. In 1691 due to foreign attacks the Outer Mongols submitted to the Manchus. In 1755 the Dzungar Mongols surrendered. They fought for independence for the next 2 years but it ended with a massacre of over 80’000 casualties on the Dzungar part. Till 1911 the Mongols were apart of the Qing. When Mongolia gained independence they were still struggling against Russia and China and in 1924 they became a communist satellite state of the Soviet Union

The Golden Horde is the Turkic empire, they made the Russian knez people speak Tatar Turkic kn their palaces.
In all historical sources, we are talking about a state that is referred to as the Kipchak Khanate and whose language, army, culture, population, in short, is Turkish in all aspects. Therefore, it seems very illogical to describe this state as Mongol. It comes not from Genghis Khan but from a Turkish clan who kidnapped his wife, so the ruling class is also Turkish.In the first establishment of this state, it has nothing to do with the Mongols or with the Mongol history, except that it was affiliated with the Mongol Empire.To regard this state as a Mongol is as absurd as calling every state dependent on the Abbasids during its establishment period an Arab state.
The Golden Horde and his descendants were of Turkish origin not ethnic Chinggissid.
There is some question as to Jochi's true paternity. Shortly after Börte's marriage to Genghis Khan (known as Temüjin at the time), she was abducted by members of the Mergidconfederation. She was given to a certain Chilger Bökh, who was the brother of the Yehe Chiledu, as a spoil of war. She remained in Chilger Bökh's captivity for a few months before she was recovered by Temüjin. Shortly afterwards she gave birth to Jochi. By all accounts, Genghis Khan treated Jochi as his first son, but a doubt always remained[whose?]whether Temüjin or Chilger Bökh was his real father. Jochi's descendants, although they formed the oldest branch of Genghis Khan's family, were never considered for the succession in claiming their father's heritage and there were signs of estrangement between Jochi and Genghis Khan.
Although the Secret History ignores Börte's pregnancy when recounting her dramatic rescue, it later describes Jochi as a “Merkit b?stard.
Jochi means Guest in Mongolian which confirming his non-chingissid origin.
In the course of the wars by which he won a hegemony over the Mongols,he was for a while a captive in the hands of the Tayichiut tribe,
and his wife Börke,whom he married when he was seventeen , was held prisoner for some months by the Merkit Turks of Lake Baikal ; the legitimacy of her eldest
son,Juji,who was born during his captivity,was always therefore suspect.

Another interesting thing is that prestigious Kublai Khan (who supposedly met Marco Polo) only ruled half the Mongol territories.
The fact that Genghis Made a Singular Mongol tribe into an empire that would leave an everlasting impact on the modern world, thank you for showing this!
Actually, his triumph was due to his ability to UNITE many warring tribes and factions in a common cause. He built bridges between diametrically opposed groups at first, then when he got powerful enough, simply CRUSHED dissent and opposition in the manner of all successful conquerers.That said, he didn't simply "expand" a single tribe: he united many tribes into a continent-crushing force the likes of which the world has never seen.

Legend❤
Subutai was Tuvan Turkic,the greatest general of the Mongolian army
Subutai is believed to have been born between the 1160s -1170s, with sources commonly stating that 1176 was the year of his birth. This general was from a tribe known as the Uriangkhai, which was not considered to be a Mongol tribe. These were forest-dwelling people, who, unlike the Mongols, were not known to be horsemen, but specialised in fur-trading and blacksmithing. It has been recorded that Subutai was the son of a blacksmith, one source giving the name of his father as Qaban. As a blacksmith, Subutai’s father would have offered his services to the Mongols, mending broken metal objects, such as weapons and cooking vessels. It is perhaps through this that the young Subutai would have had his first encounters with the Mongols.
www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/subutai-forgotten-force-behind-fearsome-mongol-military-008298
@@scourgeofgodattila579 So you're saying Subutai's tribe Uriankhai was a forest dwelling Tungustic, not Turkic nor Mongolic. Since he served as Mongolian general for imperial thrive - crushing Hungarians, Poles, Germans - we can consider him as Mongol patriot.

It's not a free article, so I'll copy paste the relevant part here:
It also frequently appears in secondary literature that Subutai was of the Reindeer People, since there was a forest-dwelling group of people in the north-west of Mongolia who had the exonym of Uriyangqai, irrespective of whether they were Turkic or Mongolic speakers. Describing these people of the forest, Rashiduddin (Rashid al-Din) notes that they raised wild animals in the forest, travelled on sleds, and loathed the idea of living on the steppe and raising sheep or cattle like typical Mongolian nomads.24 Evidently this description of the Uriyangqai has been attached to Subutai in literature. Moreover, since the tribal name later became associated with the Tuvans, there is a persistent myth that Subutai was Tuvan. However, as Rashiduddin notes elsewhere, the group to which Subutai belonged was “separate and distinct” from the forest people.25 In fact, the clan to which he belonged was the Uriyangqat.26 The very slight difference in the form of the name, and the fact that there exists an obvious etymological connection, has led to much confusion for later scholars. However, the group to which Subutai belonged was situated among the Mongols in the Onon-Kherlen region of northeast Mongolia, closely affiliated with Chinggis Khan’s own tribal grouping, and had the practices of steppe nomads.

The Turkish influence in the Mongol army had been extremely extensive , the two branches of the Mongol empire - Khanat Joji ( the Golden Horde ) and Khanat Jeghtai - who ruled the region had by the fourteenth century totally adopted Turkish culture. Central Asia, which was the base of Jeghtai government, in reality was the centre of Turkish culture . However , even beyond the Ural mountains , the Turkish culture enjoyed a strong presence .14

Cool overall, but will you also do one that includes the Timurids and Mughals?
They were Turkic
@@scourgeofgodattila3827 Well the Timurids had some Mongol blood in them too. To be exact, they were Turco-Mongol. At the least, Timur the Lame was a Turco-Mongol.
@@j0nni235 Ruy de Gonzalez, the Spanish ambassador who was with Timur, always called him Turkic.
Ruy Gonzales De Clavijo, a Spanish nobleman who went to the palace of Timur to Samarkand as ambassador, stated in his book The Life of Timur & Travels from Kadiz to Samarkand, that Timur was descended from a noble generation of Turk immigrants who boasted of their lineage. [14] While Richard Bulliet says that Barlas has nothing to do with Mongols,[15] Rene Grousset [16] states that Timur's ancestry is based on Genghis in the books written in his time, whereas Timur is not related to Mongols and says that Timur is Turk..
@@j0nni235 Timur was Turkic
Though not Mongol himself, Timur himself had sought to enhance the legitimacy of his rule by assuming the mantle of the line of Chaghatai Khan, with whom he claimed kinship. He had adopted the title of Gurkan (son-in-law) in reference to his marriage to Tukul Khanum, whose father was directly related to Chaghatai Khan and additionally installed a puppet king from the Chaghatid clan on the throne. Quite appropriately therefore Babur, Humayun and Akbar saw themselves first and foremost as princes of the great house of Timur (1336 - 1405), who had conquered vast tracts of territory in Central Asia and even sacked Delhi in 1398. Additionally they traced their ancestry even further back to the Mongol warrior Chenggiz Khan (1167 - 1227), who had upon his death, divided his vast Mongol empire among his four sons, a crucial event later illustrated by Akbar's artists. Mughalistan (including the western Tarim Basin and Kashgar) and Transoxania were bestowed upon his second son Chaghatai Khan (d. 1242). When these two wings of dominion were split up late in the thirteenth century, Transoxania in the west became the scene of mass conversion to Islam and a great deal of intermarriage with Turkic tribes people before it eventually fell to Timur, a Barlas Turk. Timur's descendants had ruled Transoxania until they succumbed to the forces of the Shaibanid Turks in 1508- 9.
