Wizards and Warriors starts a new animated alternative history documentary series focusing on the Mongol Invasion of Europe and asking What if the Mongols invaded Europe. In our scenario, Ogedei Khan doesn't die in 1241, which allows the Mongols to retain their unity and continue their incursions into Europe and Middle East. In 1245, the Mongols under the leadership of Batu Khan invade central Europe leading to the intense battles in medieval Bohemia. At the battle of Olomouc in 1246, the allied armies of the Holy Roman Empire attempted to stop the Mongol invasion ( • What if the Mongols At... ). The defeat here didn't stop the Mongols who were now full of wrath. And although the Europeans were now preparing a Crusade, this wrath will bring them to Bohemia and the siege of Prague will make things even worse ( • What if the Mongols At... ). At the same time, a group of Mongols led by Batu Khan moved south to attack Italy and sacked Rome. We at Kings and Generals hope that you will enjoy this video!

That Louis the IX is the one to participate in the crusade so bravely warms my heart. He never had his dreams of crusades in holy land satisfied, but here, he fought against ennemies threatening the heart of christianity.
Robert of Artois battle at Jena made me smile! His sacrifice shall be remembered.
The defense of James of Rome was heroic. But the traitorous action of the italian lord Ezzino.. I hope justice will be given. I hope vengeance will fall upon him.
For the Algorithm and Tengri gods!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it my friend!
My words and thoughts 100%! Thanks!
@@georgekolev6247 fantastic as usual to be honest, he was also a ally of Frederick, the second who had been completely ruined by the pope so I’m not surprised that the Mongols would ally was Frederick salaries. Also, another important thing. Some people think that Christianity or rather Romes destruction would in fact and power, some kind of solidarity among the Europeans how old is important to understand that Constantine, the great himself was not exactly fully immersed in Christianity. He was a secular ruler who made a choice to side with a popular movement in order to bullshit on prestige I doubt he truly believed in Jesus.
I like to imagine that conversation in Verona went like:
"No, I won't help you. You all aren't Italian or even Christian!"
"We'll let you loot the Vatican."
"Where do I sign?"
😅
@@tylerboyce4081reminds me of when Italy jump shipped to the alias in ww2 😂

This came out great! And that Batu guy sounds like me 😅 Was happy to lend my voice for this one!
my jaw dropped at the betrayal. did not expect that. and now with Rome burning... my thoughts are "New Rome still stands". looking forward to the next episode.
Seriously?
I immediately knew it was as a trap.
I didn't, maybe because I've never heard of Ezzelino III before.@@adamnesico
@@17-MASY Neither i heard about him.
But it was obviously a trap, the powerful mogols wouldn’t flee so easily against a small force.
@@adamnesico I thought it was only a temporary victory and that the Mongols would comeback. That was correct in a way but this trap was unexpected.
Rome: *exists*
Everyone: "is for me?"
Part 2: The series is already written, but I would love to see what you think what would have happened if Rome was burned to the ground in this timeline. How would both the secular and clerical world respond? Would this spawn various heretical groups? How would the Islamic world respond?
My goal with this series is not just pure fictional entertainment, but to tell history through fantasy. By the time this series end you would have become experts in the political world of the 1250s (Which also happens to be one of the most underrated), both in this alternative timeline, as well as in our own.
I look forward to responding to all of your comments and I want to thank every single one of you for giving me the opportunity to do what I'm so passionate about!
Extremely good series. European politics has always been a childhood fascination and my bread n butter at college even though I'm from the subcontinent. Looking forward to part 2
Modern popular historians tend to downplay the amount/importance of faith in older eras, applying modern cynicism to our ancestors. I would think that the sack of Rome presented here would almost certainly be a unifying and enraging force for the remaining Christian lands and probably would have led to immediate rebellions in the Italian states that had previously submitted. I would suspect that the Mongols in Rome would find themselves trapped in Rome, cut off by now hostile city-states in the north and entrenched Naples and Sicily in the south. With no naval support to speak of, they would be starved.
Will Louis try to rekindle the papacy in Avignon? It's a bit early, but it was a strong papal center prior to the popes taking up residency in the early 14th century
"The Horsemen of the Khan hath dismantled the Cross of Christ, and we hath sharpened it into a spear, in memory of the Church. Upon the sacrifice of the Holy City, the Eastern Heathens hath sealed their own fates, written by their own hand. Now, every pious man in Christendom hath taken up the cross and became a warrior-saint, and every layman and sinner a martyr. The Four Horsemen approachth, and only the Heavenly Host of Michael, or at least its reflection here on earth remains to vanquish the dragon beneath his feet."
"For the riders of the East hath come to live by the sword, and so by the sword, they shall perish."
A monk or a King, somewhere.
@@Aliksander54 doubt it, mostly because of the reputation of the mongols, in this timeline the destruction of bohemia and the others must be well know, they know the fate awaiting them if they rebel, fear is a powerful weapon.
also, the fall of rome must shake more the germans, the holiest of cities gone, the holiest of man gone, traitors being compensated and spared... if god don't protect the pope, why he will protect them?
Catholicism is ending in this timeline, but not Christendom, probably a united front will still be made, but more on secular terms, with realpolitik playing more of a part.
I feel like razing Rome was a grave mistake on the part of the Mongols. They surely have earned the distrust and hate of many of their Christian allies and subjects with this act.
They might have acted too brutally
All of their Christian subjects are various shades of Orthodox though.
Pretty sure the mass massacres and extraordinary tribute is way worse then destroying Rome and Constantinople.
It is all speculative either way. Constantinople was sacked by "fellow" Christians. Intrigue, avarice and politics continued nonetheless. Opinions on taking down the chronically corrupt and scheming papacy would be mixed. The systematic destruction of churches and icons is perhaps another level. Some would be galvanized to increased direct resistance. Others would be pragmatic and think of survival.
I don't recall any mention of Venice in this episode even when the Mongols were in the Po valley. Surely, they would be up to something.
@@somewhere6 They were the greek orthodox. Catholics had no love for them. Roem is another story

The worldbuilding and politics of this episode is just so staggeringly awesome! And with Rome sacked and King James of Aragon died, this will have an immense impact on not just Christian Europe but also on the Iberian peninsula and Morocco. The death of the King of Aragon in Rome might led to the invasion by the Emirate of Granada into the Aragonese territories such as Murcia and Valencia. Of course, Castile might come to Aragon's aid if the ruling elites in Aragon happened to remember that their recently deceased King happened to have his daughter married to the King of Castile. But if they remembered and fell to infighting because of political intrigue, then Granada most likely will gained the significant amount of territories back from Aragon. Heck, the Marinid Sultanate might feel embolden to invade with the pretext to restore al-Andalus. As for Portugal, I have no idea how will this effect the expansion into Algarve by King Alfonso III of Portugal.
And since Rome has been sacked by the Mongols in this timeline, will the Pope of Avignon become a thing a lot faster in this timeline? I sure hoped it did because Christian Europe is in need of the new religious leader fast if the coalition against the Mongols is to be organized.
Also, how will this Sack of Rome have impact on Abaqa Khan's diplomatic missions to Christian Europe? Last time I checked, he tried to ask for Pope Clement IV to call for a crusade against the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria with promise that his troops personally led by him will be there to assist them.
Who knows, maybe the new form of Mongol Civil War will happened because of the conflicting interests between Abaqa Khan and Batu Khan. And if such civil war happened, the Christian rulers of Europe, or in Granada's case, a Muslim ruler, will not let such a chance go for sure.
By the way, will King James of Aragon be canonized as a saintly king who died bravely in defending Rome from the Mongols in this timeline?
Edition: While it is possible that the Latin Empire and the other Crusader states in the Balkans might still be bickering among themselves along with the remnants of the Eastern Romans based in Nicea, what happened to Rome will send shocks to all of them. The Romans who lived in Nicea might identified the Sack of Rome as the divine retribution by God for the Sack of Constaninople in 1204 back then. But will they submit themselves to the Mongols and offer the title of Caesar to one of the descendants of Chinggis Khan is still debatable. If they wanted to offer such title to anyone among the House of Borjigin, the most likely candidate is going to be Abaqa Khan for his friendliness toward the Christians. With the help of the Romans, Iranzamin under Abaqa Khan might become an independent nation if the Mongol Civil War between him and Batu Khan actually broke out.
Thank you for the feedback and this fantastic comment! Positive comments are great, but when it comes from people who know what they are talking about and look at the big picture they are even better!
@@georgekolev6247 Thanks for the reply! And I will admitted it, though. I did not think the Mongols will make it pass into Rome like at all. After all, the Mongols usually only negotiated with the "you either surrender or die" type of negotiation an also because I only concerned about Germany's geography and the rest of Europe's politics at the time alone when such crisis happened.
Also, I would like to encourage you guys to do about the aftermath of this Sack of Rome in the eyes of Christian Europe and the Islamic world at the time. Like I said before, the Marinid Sutanate of Morocco and the Emirate of Granada will seized the opportunities to expand their realms while the rest of Europe fell into religious and political turmoils. As for within the Mongol Empire, Abaqa Khan ended up being pissed at what Batu Khan did because his chance to secure the alliance with the Crusader states againts the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria was blown away because of his actions against Rome. This will make the crack to form faster within the Mongol Empire and Iranzamin and the Ulug Ulus might go to war against each other, halting the expansion into Europe for the time being and allowing the crusade against the Mongols to actually be organized.
If mongol invasion of europe is successful I feel like mongol invasion of Egypt should be successful. Have mongol and almohads fight.
@@schneejacques3502 Well, the turning point needed to be mark here. Can you pinpoint this for me? Even I cannot find it.
I dont see Grenada doing anything like that, Castille is a big threat and wasting money and soldiers on a campaing on Aragon would be inviting the Castillians to invade. Even if the king decides to stay neutral it was common for low nobles and andventurers to recruit armies and try to take some land from the muslims in the name of the king, that campaing would weaken the defenses and increase the level danger that those raids will made.
fantastic work! very enjoyabale
For the Algorithm and Tengri gods!
That diplomatic move from Frederick II is literally the greatest thing to have ever been imagined in an alternate history - something so incredible and yet precisely in character for someone like Frederick to do. But burning Rome to the ground would have hit the Christians right in their religious spine. I think that that was a great blunder from Batu. Now, as most of the Mongols are stuck in the heart of Italy, their Italian allies and Frederick will probably turn against them, to exact vengeance for the massacre of their brethren. Burning Rome down really hurt me, I wonder how much the people at that time would have been hurt.
For the algorithm and the Tengri gods!
@ERRATAS 0202 Frederick's son is already back to Frederick. No matter how much conflict there was between Frederick and the Pope, he is, after all, a Catholic. And even if he didn't care about the Pope, if he can defeat Batu, he will be hailed as a hero and may even get enough influence to get back his empire. It makes perfect sense to "betray" Batu when most of his forces are stuck in a hostile Italy.
My soul shutters at even the thought of all the glory of Rome being lost to history. Amazing video and incredible work in crafting a tale that reads just like a weathered, worn but trusted book on history.
For the algorithm and tengri gods!
I hope mongols will be sent home!
And let's not forget Daniel sacrifice may he return!
Edit: Frederick is the anti Christ
a pile of betrayal after betrayal

Awesome comment :D
Love the speech given about the fall of papacy. Everything from the content itself to the narration was excellent.
Thank you!
Ezzelino may For the Algorithm and the Tengri Gods! be with you when you will face the wrath of Christendom.
While answering your questions I have a few of my own so that we make this a dialoge:
#1 Do you think the plot twists came out of nowhere, or were they well written/setup/founded?
#2 What did you think of the narration done by History Dose?
#3 Who is your favorite character in the series so far?
#4 What was your favorite episode of the series so far?
History dose was amazing as Batu's voice!
My favorite character would have to be louis
The twist was unexpected but considering that Frederick is an enemy to the crusaders and the mongols, it was only a matter of time
And my fave episode will have to be the first one because i love the battle of olomouc, hope u do more like that in the future!
1. They were extremely well-written and well-founded.
2. That is a fantastic narration and I think it basically sums up the philosophy of the Mongols behind their massacres and crimes.
3. My favourite character in the series is Frederick II - that man knew that all of this would happen and yet none paid heed to him and he was deposed from his empire. And now, he did the greatest diplomatic play in the history of diplomatic plays, and I am pretty sure that he has still got a few tricks up his sleeve.
4. I believe that the series gets better with every episode. Every single one of these episodes is articulate, engaging, and really interesting to think about.
For the algorithm and the Tengri gods!
1. I believe the twists thus far have been well set-up and founded. I'm generally of the mind that history is stranger than fiction, so I don't put anything displayed here beyond the pale of probability.
2. The narration is good.
3. My favorite character has been Wenceslaus. He has so much potential now as King of Germany, and I look forward to seeing where your story takes him heading the Seventh Crusade.
4. My favorite episode thus far has been the first where the whole scenario has been set out and the political geography of 13th century Europe set forth in relation to it. I love the intricacy of it all!
History dose does perfect voice overs
Favorite character - Genghis Khan
Would love to see 2 more alternate series:
1) What if Alexander lived to old age?
2) What if Julius Caesar and Octavian conquered Whole of Germania, Dacia, the British Isles, Nubia and the whole of Persia?
Essentially: What if these two figures had late GoT infinite plot armor :D
@@georgekolev6247 oh yeah
More like what if Caesar and Agrippa conquered the world
@@NikephorosCaesar Well Octavian and Agrippa were a tight dynamic duo you can't really separate the two
What if the Romans had discovered and colonized North America? Which was very far, so there was a need for a new form of transport, and after a long time of research and experimentation, the Romans finally perfected the steam engine.
2nd time Rome was sacked. For the Algorithm and Tengri gods!
Gods, holy shit I'm loving this series!
Fredrick II saying 'Fuck It' and throwing in with the Mongols honestly didn't surprise me, considering how historically Innocent II kept fucking with him, and his more importance of attention to the kingdom of Sicily and his family made sense.
It took a moment for the effect of the sack of Rome to hit me.
Like damn, all that ancient monuments and architecture destroyed.
Like would they'd be forever lost? Or would the Renaissance still happen, and efforts to reconstruct and repair them happen throughout the centuries in the aftermath?
God, this whole scenario sounds like an amazing mod pitch for CK3/EU4!
Can't wait to see the next vid!!!
Amazing commentary, comments like this really charge me up. I hope I don't let you don't with the following episodes sir!

batu speech is partly hulagu message to the sultan of egypt its even more epic in arabic i memorized in mid school it felt nice when i found i still remember it
Fantastic series! I've recently watched the entire thing in one sitting, and this has got to be one of the most comprehensive alternate history videos I've ever had the honour to find! Each battle and action is constructed in such vivid detail, so immersive and structured so immaculately I sometimes forget this is even fiction. Who would think of detailing holdouts on the colosseum that lasted six hours and targeted genocide and refuge of the ruthenians when most would simply say the mongols were overpowered and easily reached the atlantic?
I look forward to where this series goes, and wish for the best to all involved in the production and development of this incredible saga! For the Algorithm and the Tengri Gods!
I agree wholeheartedly👍
Comments like this not just warm my hearth, but inspire me to do my best each time in regards to both the writing and animation! Thank you, the hours I spend research, writing, re-doing and moving small squares are all worth it for comments such as yours!
Wow what a twist at the end! Didnt see it coming. Cant wait for the epic continuation of this amazing series! For the Algorithm and Tengri gods
Thank you!
I think it's quite interesting that Robert died this early in the campaign in a similar manner as the original timeline. In the original timeline, during the crusade in Egypt it was Robert who counseled louis Xi to forgo strategy for a quick victory putting their army in a disadvantageous position which ultimately led to the loss that conflict. Without Robert Maybe here king louis might be able follow a better counsel and have gain a victory in his cursade against the mongol.
Fantastic work as always guys, for the Algorithm and Tengri gods!
Thank you!
Fantastic, I'm thoroughly enjoying this series! 👏👌
"What if the Mongols sacked Rome?"
If only
*cries in throat singing
This is probably what the Muslims also felt when the Mongols invaded and sack Baghdad. Definitely heart-wrenching.
As a Muslim this is true. Learning about the Mongol invasion was excruciating, but also learning about how we defeated them in Ain Jalut and won eventually at the end is a great lesson for the future.
The writing for this series is superbly entertaining. The breathing room allowed by alternate history has allowed for these awesome scenarios such as the colosseum being turned into a fortress, epic!.
It's by far my favourite series yet due to the unpredictable nature. One note I love the battles so more anecdotes about weapons, freak occurrences or tactics would be awesome!
Lastly a giant salute for making this
.
Colosseum being turned into a fortress is actually historical! I try to base nearly everything I write on events that occurred before or after the timeline I'm writing about, which leads to numerous easter eggs that only the biggest armchair historians will spot.
I've written many of these, as I try to answer every comment, but I mean it every time. THANK YOU! People like you are the reason I get to do what I'm so passionate about!
@@georgekolev6247 I'm proud I get to support this channel including kings and generals it has provided me with countless inspirations. I sincerely believe your content are destined for even greater heights.

I can't wait to see how you manage ti shaoe the world and how it looks post mongol invasions
Europe's fate is changed forever with the extension of the Mongol conquests reaching beyond eastern Europe.
Maybe we will see turkic and tatar influence deep into swabia and thuringia
Regardless their is still the technological and monetary influence too, with the mongols opening up western Europe to the Pax Mongolica will we see Europe as an extension of Eurasia.
Culture, religion, technology
This will all end up passing through western Europe and I can't wait to see how this will affect the future of how Europe sees the world.
The Sack of rome in this timeline should be equivalent to the fall of Baghdad to the Mongols and the fall of China to mongols.

Do you think that these events prevent Nicea from retaking Constantinople or make it even easier?

My best guess is that the Nicaeans or the Latins probably made some sort of early deal with the Hordes for non-aggression, non-interference or even facilitated their decision to travel west than south.
Presumably, the Latins or Nicaeans would've already made some sort of deal to prop up their rule, with the Nicaeans on the ascent, and Batu hedging bets, or the Latins leveraging the prestige of their city to allow no opposition to the Mongol forces. Of course, we already saw how THAT strategy went with Rome.
And considering the Roman mentality of the Nicaeans for obvious reasons, I believe they'd have less compulsions with working with eastern steppe armies than the Latins do.
Alternatively, hearing news that Rome was destroyed might've made the Latins, already strangers in a strange land, see the futility of their continued hold on the City.
@@utubrGaming personally i think tha the latin may set up a pope of their own in Constantinople since it's the second rome and all that.
as for the Nicean i don't think they would be happy, you must remember that the byzantine see themself as romans not greeks and till the end they tought rome as rightfull theirs ( and the pope as a usurper) is more likely that they would condamn it while pass it as proof that catholicism is an heresy and that if Rome had been in true roman orthodox hands it would not have fallen (and "accidently" forget about Alaric and Genseric).
finally if Nicea menage to reunite the byzantine remnants it may try to attack the mongols while they are distracted by the crusaders.
This series has been one of the best alternate history series I have watched yet.

I feel that Milan is screwed: at this point in time Cremona is still a rival and loyal to Frederick II, they could bargain for Milan's destruction or at least humbling.
This comment is outside of the great work you already do. Your ads are even amazing how you fit them into the subject without breaking character. There has never been a time where I’ve skipped thru. I don’t know if you truly understand how special that is. Ads are the most annoying thing ever and you’ve found a work around that. That’s amazing man 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! It really means a lot!
Super down on yall making alot more alt history stuff like this.
Thank you so much!
