- Over the course of the 13th Century, the Mongols conquered the largest contiguous land empire in world history. This astounding world power emerged from the unification of the seven Mongol tribes under the leadership of Genghis Khan, whose very name has become synonymous with conquest. Proclaimed ruler of all the Mongols in 1206, Genghis and his descendants dispatched invading armies in all directions, and by the end of the Great Khan’s life his empire included much of China and Central Asia. Mongol forces also drove into western Asia and Europe. They subdued much of the Arab world, destroying Baghdad in 1258. Latin Christendom would face the full force of the Mongol Empire when they assailed Hungary and Poland. On the battlefields of Legnica and Mohi, the Hungarians, Poles, Croatians, and their allies, including the Knights Templar, would face the virtually unbeatable military machine of the Mongols.

Where is the video about Cilicia Armenian kingdom?
Hey, I ordered a hoodie from your online store and have emailed you and spring and haven’t heard anything back. Could you help me out? Ordered on January 2nd and it still says my order is printing….
Great episode. Probably the best King the Crusaders ever had. History may have been different, had he not been cursed with Leprosy.
I have saved it!!
@@calebvinson8703 Did you get it?
I find the rise of the mongols one of the most fascinating periods of history
Burned brightly, flamed out quickly happily enough. They remind me of the assyrians.
I'm starting to feel the same because of the years they did this this wasn't during the Roman Empire this was in the 1200s very impressive as far as how much they overcame and what they had accomplished to do what they did as far as strategy goes and military brilliance but on a human level I feel horrible for the people it's hard to imagine
Thank God they were not as smart as tough
@@Mma-basement-215 One third of the Hungarian population was extinct - brutally.
You should watch this video then
This is a great video. I lived in Hungary 2005-2006, about 30 miles from Tokaj. I visited the area where these battles were fought a few times. Awesome job on this video.
Thanks!
This is the History that should be taught in school; make it interesting & they will listen, give them a love for history.
It's about as legit as a high school-level textbook i guess
Thank you for this wonderful documentary!
I recently signed up for a historical fiction event and was inspired to set my story in 1280s Hungary because I watched this video.
U should study the mongols in detail
Again I am always learning something new with your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as always thank you
Gotta praise y'all guys for these videos - amazing graphics (hopefully historically accurate), y'all didn't forget the shadows on the ground, an occasional bird in the sky, all the details.... Stunning. And the narration goes at a relatively normal speed, it's not "talk as fast as possible" like most other youtube videos. It is history after all, one should be able to focus and retain something. Great content, thanks!
It’s from a game called "mount and blade"
@@hermitguy102Total War Atilla with a mod
@@hermitguy102 as a mount and blade player i have to say, no, sadly mount and blade isn't this good
been watching and learning from this channel for years , always quality.
Thank you very much.
I come from Legnica, so I had to click the video when I saw the thumbnail :)
Liegnitz, a beautiful German city with a rich history. Like Breslau.
Sweet justice at Ain Jalut. The Mongols fell for the same trick (fake retreat) they had pulled on so many unfortunate enemies.
I love this history I live in America but I was born in Georgia 🇬🇪 and Mongols conquest of Georgia was also brutal. Georgian king then fought for the Mongols later on he became one of their best Generals. Its crazy that even Kings were merely vassals on the Mongol Horde
Excellent video. The cinematics was outstanding. Gripping, really. Thanks for the upload. This second comment is a sacrifice to the Algorithm. Cheers from Tennessee
They are using a mod in a game called Rome 2 total war. The mod I believe is called 1212 ad
If you wanted to know the cinematics
Thank you for this video, its very interesting.
Solid educated information. Thank you !!
So amazing. Thank you. I love history
The Mongols ,when starving would cannibalise 1 in 10 of their own soldiers.
No you don't
Excellent overview of extremely important history, little known in western europe.
Yes Czechia is border between Europe and Asia
Very good job! History is quite interesting. I really think that the real source of the mongol sucesses at the beginning was no other than Subotai himself. He was a real genius in warfare. The proper man at the proper time in the proper army. That was the key.
General Subatai is the greatest military strategist in the history!
Undoubtedly. I was always further impressed that he was only leading a reconnaissance army chasing enemies that had crossed them along the way when they invaded Europe.
Yes. One of their signature tactics was to pretend to flee, turn back. The opposing army would pursue them, and if I remember correctly, more Mongols would come from behind, or the sides, and basically encircle them, and exterminate them. This tactic worked with astounding success, it was very innovational. You can see it illustrates base cunning, characteristic of these beasts.
Genghis Khan had 4 great generals
Horsepower was undoubtedly the biggest factor in their success. The primary tactics of the mongols wouldn't have even been possible without superior horsepower.
I finally found the channel that uses Total War battle clips (at least it looks like Total War battles). Subscribing now.
I'm a huge fan of the Total War visuals, love playing around with them!
Good work on the various gaits of the horses. You have also done really well on the movement of the rear legs. In one scene I noticed a seamless and realistic transition from a trot to a canter (gallop).
This was very good thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Are you going to do a follow up of the alliance between Mongols and Crusaders
imagine this as a movie
The Mongol/Tatar raids remained a huge issue up to 1699. Yes, after the black death the golden horde was weakened and so their bases in Ruthenia were taken from them (Galicia was conquered by Poland and the region of Kiev by Lithuania) but the raids continued for centuries. The Tatar base in Crimea was protected by the Ottomans and by the impossible logistics across the "wild fields" (roughly corresponding to the current Russian occupied zone in Ukraine, those lands were unpopulated) this limited the ability to bring cannons to blast the Perekop forts.
There were attempts by Russia during 1560ies and by Poland at around 1620 to eliminate the Tatars that failed due to the need to divert troops against huge Ottoman invasions.
Finally the threat ended at 1699 after the Ottoman defeat at the great Turkish war and the loss of their base in Hungary.
The whole period was not recorded in western historiography due to the fact that the raids rarely passed the fortified cities of Lviv and Lublin
interesting!
What's the Schwarzenegger movie Red heat They became the briggins raiding criminals
The Mongols were probably the only conquerors that didn't necessarily ransom or ravish but definitely kill everyone. Hungary lost minimum 30% of her population and almost half of settlements and infrastructure.
Out of 3 million 1.5 perished
You could say the mongols in history were a practitioner of equal opportunity genocide 🤣
Mr Roberts and Real Crusades History team, I really do like all the great content and great quality documentary videos. But can I request a video when you get the time? I would really appreciate a video on the symbology the Knights Templars used. A person I know said they used one symbol, but I see no reference to it online. Though I do see other symbols that are used that look more pagan in nature. I would really like to see the actual history of their symbology instead of all the conspiracy theories about their symbols leading to their wealth.
Ancient Egypt's Gods, were very understandable, they worshipped all they saw that created life, as well as what they saw that assisted life, for example, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris (the God of the dead, God of fertility, and God of resurrection) gave them the gift of ''barley'' one of their most important crops. A large temple was built to honour Osiris at Abydo.
They would not only worship things they saw as life-giving, but also life preserving, and that led to them having some quite extraordinary Gods, like the Crocodile (Sobek). They believed that worshipping what could harm or even kill you, would spare you, should you encounter any Crocodiles, but more importantly, they believed that Sobek could protect the Pharaoh from dark magic. They dedicated half the Temple Kom Ombo In Aswan to the Crocodile, LOL.
What we see looking through all of Ancient Egypt's 'Gods' is how their understanding improved over time, for example, their most worshipped God, and their most powerful God, was “Amun” (the king of the Gods). Only later, they realized and understood that the sun had a huge importance to man's survival. So they then took “Ra” (the sun God) and added It to “Amun”, creating the all-powerful God “Amun-Ra”. A large and very important temple was built at Thebes to honour Amun-Ra.
We then see probably the most well-known shift In Ancient Egypt's Gods, when Tutankhamen's father, Akhenaten, understood that without the sun life would cease to exist. So Akhenaten abolished all the other Gods, replacing them all with the “Aten” (the sun Disk). It actually makes perfect sense to worship the sun. Opposed as to some deity of deception, greed, corruption, murder, and outright savagery.
Genghis Kahnquest… ami right guys?
King Béla IV of Hungary left to his son, to Stephen, a prosperous, a rebuilt, a fortified kingdom in 28 years. Béla successfully concluded the alliance between the houses of Árpád and Anjou with a mutual marriage contract. In the last year of his life, in December 1269, Abbot of Monte Cassino Bernhard Ayglerius visited Hungary as the envoy of King Charles I of Anjou. He reported enthusiastically to his lord, the foreign, impartial contemporary envoy saw Béla's court as follows:
"The Hungarian royal house has incredible power, its military forces are so large that nobody in the East and the North dares even budge if the triumphant and glorious king mobilizes his army. Most of the countries and princes of the North and East belong to his empire by kinship or conquest."
Galician-Volhynian Chronicle about the second Mongol invasion:
"Talabuga went to the mountains which can be crossed in three days, but he wandered for thirty days pursued by the wrath of God, and they were so hungry that they started to eat human flesh, then they themselves began to fall, and incredible many were lost. Eyewitnesses said that there were a hundred thousand deads, and the ungodly Telebuga came back on foot and his wife on a bad nag, God made him so miserable"
Louis I of Hungary dispatched Andrew Lackfi to invade the lands of the Golden Horde in retaliation for the Tatars' earlier plundering raids against Transylvania and the Szepesség. Lackfi and his army of mainly Szekely warriors crossed the Carpathian Mountains and imposed a decisive defeat upon a large Tatar army on 2 February 1345. The Hungarian warriors were victorious in their campaign, decapitating the local Tatar leader, the brother-in-law of the Khan, Atlamïş, and making the Tatars flee toward the coastal area. The Golden Horde was pushed back behind the Dniester River, thereafter the Golden Horde's control of the lands between the Eastern Carpathians and the Black Sea weakened. We can see this event leads the establishment of Moldavia in 1346 as a Hungarian vassal state.
And Don't forget the hungarian victory 1285...👍
Well done! Thanks!
Thank you too!
been loving watching history channels like this one on my tv recently, awesome video.
Great documentary. I'll make some comments to finish up the story we have heard. 1. Battle of Mohi took place on the 11th of April 1241. Still, the Mongol army could rarely cross the river Danube. They managed to do it in January of the following year after the Danube had iced up. In the meantime, king Bela IV reorganized his army and armed it with the most effective weapons against the Mongols, with crossbows. Mongols were frightened by this weapon because shots with crossbows were much more dangerous and devastating for them. In February 1242, at the fort of Esztergom, the spiritual capital of medieval Hungary, Batu's and Subotai's army was heavily defeated with crossbows from the strong fort. In the meantime, the archbishop of Esztergom Cardinal Benedek's army eliminated the Mongol troops from the Verecke pass and was hunting for the adventuring Mongol warriors in the northern part of Hungary, causing severe casualties to them. That is why Batu ordered his warriors to leave the Carpathian basin at once. (2) Also to remember the everyday people of the middle of Hungary. Between the rivers, Tisza and Danube, the Mongols practically made the native population extinct. The native peasant built earth forts and fought to the death against the Mongol hordes, causing heavy losses to them. They were the anonym heroes of the Mongol campaigns. Their villages and cities, like the Gold City (Petermonostora), have been explored, and the findings are exhibited in Kecskemet. Archeological explorations were conducted in line with the building of the M5 highway between Szeged and Budapest in the 1980s. All these are evidence of the victory of the Hungarian Kingdom in the first Mongol invasion, too. (2) During the second Mongol campaign, the Polish-Hungarian Coalition was an example of the traditional Polish-Hungarian friendship, which dates back to the Scythian times, the Sarmatian-Scythian-Hunnic era. This national feeling still exists and blooms even today in both countries. (3) In the following century, the Hungarian king, I. Lajos the Great drove the final nail into the coffin of the Golden Horde at the rivers Dnepr and Don, and the coast of the Black Sea. The Hungarian Kingdom defeated the Mongol army three times in history and swept them out of Europe. All these made it possible for Russia to come true. Poland and Hungary saved Western Europe from devastation, not for the first and not for the last time in history. Nobody has given us thanks for this sacrifice.
this is poppycock and no one owes you anything - look in the mirror - you are mixed-race mongol yourself. The Mongols took Rome in 1242 and then settled into the Alps of Switzerland and the Pyrenees of Spain to rape out the rest of Europa. No one stopped anything "all warfare is based upon deception" the entire world lives under a hidden mongol khanate. The Golden Horde occupied Russia and the surrounding region for more than 400 years, indirect rule was their favoured tactic
the "jews" are turkic-mongols, selected from among the rape-babies because they looked enough like Europeans to get past the gates, kikel, kekul, khakol, these all mean the same think in kipchak, "forelock", regional dialectic contractions
Hungarians to this day call themselves "the children of the great khan" - how then is it you think the mongols were defeated? Blood is the most powerful weapon, "a man's seed can be his greatest weapon"
You are deluded, you have been fed a sanitized history and people whom have no idea who they actually are and falsely think they are free are the worst sort of slaves
Монголы 200 г не кому не проигрывали, сейчас все стараются переписать историю под себя
@@user-gq6oh4jj1p The kingdoms of India, the kingdoms of Egypt and Vietnam, my brother, but I defeated them
These what you say are largely non-factual, rather wishfull thinking.
Lol 😂
a warrior archbishops armor was probably incredible to look at.
It looked like a dress
In Asia, The Japanese and Vietnamese were lucky enough to halt Mongolian Horde 5 times in between them.
This outstanding video shows that the Mongol invasions of Hungary and Poland in the 1240's were less than decisive, with high Mongol losses being suffered in what were somewhat costly (for the Mongols) victories over quite limited Polish and Hungarian forces. Added to that, the Mongols failed completely to capture the few stone castles of these parts of Latin Christendom. It became clear that heavily equipped Western knights in sufficient numbers were at least a match for Mongol horseman, along with powerful stone fortifications. The later and separate Mongol invasions of Hungary and Poland in the decade from 1270 both met with abject military humiliation for the Mongols. The video argues convincingly that the Mongols could never have conquered Middle or Western Europe, as even their 1240's invasions seem to have been thwarted by strong resistance. Further West the Mongols would have faced stronger foes: kings and princes with numerous impregnable fortresses amidst more varied & mountainous landscapes wholly unsuited to Steppe warfare. The video does much to banish the myth of Mongol invincibility. There was never a serious prospect that Mongol armies could have advanced to the North Sea or Atlantic ocean. It is fortunate for Europe and the world that the more refined culture and rising strength of the West prevailed over the genocidal and sadistic practices of culturally backward Asiatic raiders. We should all be seriously thankful for the dogged courage and determination of the Roman Catholic rulers of Poland and Hungary.
At 11:08 that’s not the same Wenceslaus. The one you showed is Saint Wenceslaus, but the one you’re talking about is Wenceslaus I.

Excellent.
There is an obvious reason why the Mongols did not continue their conquest of Western Europe: the East and China were much richer.
Is there a video about Amalric I and his campaigns to invade Egypt ?
The Mongols defeated the Mamluks in India, but they failed and were defeated in 6 battles

1:00:25 which music is this? I heared it in different history videos on CZcams
In Mongols defense. Hulague had left a small contingent of Defenders with Khitbuqa general, why Mamluks out numbered the Mongols 2-1, while Hulague himself had left the land with the main body of army with him to attend the Khuraltai.. the next choosing of the King back in the main land Mongolia. If Hulague had not left with his main army back home, the outcome would've surely been different today. Still nothing to take away from the mighty Mamluks.whom they let them taste their own medicine.
Thanks ❤😃🍾🥂👍
Well Attila and his horse army, although not a Mongol, did make it to the Atlantic.
attila is central asian he mongol too
Poland🇵🇱 Hungary🇭🇺 👍👍👍
During the Mongol invasion of Khwarazmia (1219 - 1221) Genghis Khan had about 100 000 Mongolian soldiers. Not too many Mongolians survived by 1240. So the majority of the Mongolian troops at Legnica and Mohi were Turkic soldiers, mainly Tatars. They were tough, but not as tough as Mongolians.
mongolian soldiers would be in china trying to invade Song Dynasty. Subotai was just not given a third chance to finish the job.
The sheer number of horses needed
Little known fact, even in the first invasion some smaller troops of Mongols pushed far into Europe and encountered heavily armored Austrian and Bohemian knights who could withstand the arrows and launched shock charges.
It is likely that the Mongols simply did not want to go further in these unpleasant lands until a later time with better preparation.
also less known aftwr the Battle of Mohi the Austrian duke - as part of his "help" - overrun and plundered some western Hungarian territories and castles, also kept the Hungariank king's wife in captivity ....
How did they get on in Korea?
Theres little in the way of Mongols Vs Korea content out there.
I know they were stopped by India, Japan (typhoon) and Vietnam to a degree.
The maps show Korea being taken, but didn't they experience some defeats there?
Mongol need 8 invasion to make korea become vassal state, korea is close with mongolian heartland who can supply more fast & numered reinforcement. like mongol invasion to poland & hungary is only 50k troops vs 500k troops to conquer southern china
I think foot archers would have been more effective than crossbowmen in an open battle. Crossbows would be much better used whilst defending a fortification.
Why?
I also play Mount and Blade
Have thought of doing a podcast?
Actually going forward I was thinking of just doing podcasts. I'm more interested in the idea of audio presentations without having to worry about visuals. What do you think?
@@RealCrusadesHistory I honestly think the names of the kings, towns, rivers, troop movements, dates etc on the maps add a visual angle that makes it easier to comprehend the story. So I think the current video format would be better than audio only storytelling.
my great ancestor was supposedly one of the knights of Bela IV in the battle of Mohi
Fascinating!
@@RealCrusadesHistory I don`t think so.From those times, about twenty families still live in our region and THAT is fascinating. My family is just one of them

I think the keys here were armor, be it the individual knight or a fortified city, and robbing the Mongols of their plunder.
Regarding the catapults that the Mongols used against the Hungarians. Does anyone know how the Mongols transported them? Did they build them on the spot? Given that they were a riding nomadic people, I am amazed. Anyone able to answer?
Those units where chinise exclusivly. They used them in the bagdad seage.
They would've been carried during the campaign in their supply train. The Mongols traveled with a massive "tail," that is their supplies and support staff.
@@RealCrusadesHistory Yup, just like most armies
People have this misconception that the Mongol army consisted of nothing but horse archers
Mongols never transport catapults. They just built catapults before battle
35:00 is were things get very interesting.
Time to rebrand to "Real Medieval History", lol.
Problem was that Easter Europe had wood strong holds ..Germany , France , Austria , Italy, Greece, even Czech rep. had lot of fortified cities and castles ..that was a difference
But Easter only come around once a year so theyre in trouble the rest of the time
But maybe they saved chocolate to leave out cos its poison to mongols
Yup, in Croatia after Zagreb they didnt conquer any stronghold and became more less a target. Why? Strongholds built in stone. Also horse isnt best idea in summer of mounty Dalmatia. And no ships to transport troops up/down on east of Adriatic.
Mostly wooden fortresses were of Eastern Europe character . Why ? That's a good question .
Ghengis Kahn got to the borders of Eastern Prussia Germany , though East Prussia didn't exist then . But , Evan so , the Mongol influence can be seen in the architecture in some Western German cities , and Eastern German cities , and in Russia ,vAnd Poland ,vAnd in quite a few Eastern European nations , in the onion shared spires on the top of tall structures . And , also the cylindrical pointed spires are an influence of the Muslims who entered Europe as far as Tours , France where their defeat brought upon them by Charlemagne's grand pop Charles Martel ; the Frankish kings with pagan roots from their Germanic ancestors .
Blood you’re mad they took out jin and song china there isn’t a single western fortress that is really too much better than the eastern ones get a grip
Yes the Chinese did have stone fortifications, but Western fortifications can't be written off
dope
Who else is familiar with King Wenseslas because of Kingdom Come:Deliverance lol
Also I love the story about the Mongol archer taking out the Polish sentry. I just imagine some General looking for his most skilled archer and sending him in like a god damned Navy Seal to snipe that guy out. So fkn cool.
Meh, I could do that in a heartbeat nothing special
This is a legend - a living one, but still a legend. If it really happened, it was rather a result of a barrage, than a sniping action. In addition to a bugler-call reminding about this daily from the Saint Mary's Basilica' tower we also have the Lajkonik (a Mongol-like hobby horse) folklore holidays after Corpus Christi. So there's a XIII c. event folklore in a city with tenement walls and cellars (where you can drink a beer) witnessing XVI c., several churches dating back to XI c. and one (of St. Andrew) from ~1080 actually surviving the 1241 attack!
You're welcome to visit if you wish!
Excellent review of the Mongol invasion of Europe.
Fortifications and organized defenses worked against the Mongol horsemen who were more used to the plains of the Steps !
Denying them food and provisions stopped them.
They had overstretched their resupply lines and logistics.
Regards.
I find it hard to believe mongols would overstretch their supply lines. They were masters of it.
But in many fortresses in Eurasia the Mongols would besiege many cities ambush any relief force. So I don't think just fortresses were enough.
I know they say “judge not lest ye be judged,” but this Genghis Khan sounds like he was a real jerk.
if you read the history of Genghis Khan based on modern historians version you will change your mind
@@anomalianomali5080why
The wars back then we're dam bloody , especially the lack of , and infancy of medicine .
My curiosity has always been why didn't the west counter attack all the way to the Mongol homefronts when it was feasible. If successful one can only wonder what could have been
The Mongol empire was massive I doubt without as many horses as the Mongols they could maintain a supply line or communication in the Mongol empire, also you play right into their tactics if you invade them as they will just harass you to death.
Why would you invade the Mongol Empire? Nothing there but steppe, horses and some leftover loot. Basically the same with Russia today apart from oil and gas. Nobody would want to invade Russia. There is nothing there of any interest. It is much better for us if they dig up the oil and gas by themselves and sell it to us. This way we are not responsible for the impoverished population who represent the vast majority there.
Perhaps you are unaware that we are not speaking about what we would consider white people when we say the West the West at that time was still ruled by so-called black people. What has been hidden from you by white supremacists and their supporters is that these were so-called religious wars between black people. Shalom
Because the west army are the good & kind hearted guys..in the video it is already clearly said that plundering other's to supply its own army is strictly prohibited in the west unlike China..west never steal, loot,plunder others countrys land..all they did is just to protect & defend theirs own land

@@Fatherofheroesandheroines yes I Know was no Romania back then. or?
@@peter-df6wl there wasn't. So your comment is odd. What exactly are you trying to say?
First Vlahs were let into the Carpathian Basin one century later, together with German, and Slav people. Royal officers arranged the colonization of Transylvania (at that time Cumania), they were called kenéz (Hungarian), knyez (Romanian), Schultheiss (German), and lehota (Slav). Romanians appear in written history around the 16th century, before that only Vlahs were mentioned. What happened more with Romanians in 1859 - well, I have no idea, but the Mongol invasion took place more than 600 years earlier. During the realm of king Béla IV, the name of Transylvania was Cumania, the land of the Cumans. A significant proportion of them still lives in Hungary's Great Plain.

Im sure the mongols did join with the crusaders
I think if the Mongols would've moved their capitol closer to Western Asia/Eastern Europe so they didn't have to travel halfway around the world they would've conquered Western Europe.
However, they would not have been able to hold it like the Romans did.
Also, they kept invading during winter. Had they decided to, I don't know, one during the spring they may have have been able to find more food during their raiding parties.
Lol central plain of china was the most developed placed in the world at the time. Cannot compare the amount of luxuries in Europe compared to China at the time. The great Jin was the most powerful empire before Genghis Khan defeated them.
I don't think the Mongols would ever have conquered Europe to be honest, the things that gave them problems in Central Europe would have greatly multiplied as they went further West, leading to a major defeat.
It was only a matter of time before the Mongols taught their enemies all of their arts of war to quote Napoleon, Hungary and Poland adapted well after suffering multiple defeats to the Mongols, and we saw the results.
They were so powerfull to not conquer Europe!?😅
am I the only one who doesn't like the Mongols? they've always made me mad ever since learning about them in high-school lol
i dont understand why people glorify these barbarians either
@@guzelataroach4450 cuz few have had their accomplishment in history
They were what they were. Getting mad about a people that were only powerful in the Middle Ages is just ..weird.
Hulago raised Bhahgdad but spared every Church and Christian, true story
@@joeroganstrtshots881 actually no. The Nestorian Christians did win leniency but only AFTER Baghdad was taken. He didn't do it for love of Christians he was paid off. Also the cathedral in Baghdad was only built AFTER the sack of Baghdad. Also it's RAZED not RAISED. Two different words my friend.
The mongles pull back becuse thay lost to many man thay were hungry
I often wonder how Alexander the Great would defeat the Mongols; I think he would use 2 concepts: match what they do plus figure out an additional idea (I don’t know what it would be)
Compared to the Mongol he will be called as Alexander the kiddo or Alex the joker
Lololololololololololol
J I’m don’t think he could’ve
😂😂😂 horses vs dudes on feet… go figure
You’ve never heard of Alexander’s cavalry Lolololololololololololololololololololol
What about the Germans? I can't believe the teutonic knights would not have been a major force to be reckoned with...
They swore loyalty to the Mongols cowardly declaring them as their masters
Nah
Yes! There were a few occasions when they met. For example at the battle of Legnica the shock charges caused heavy causalties among the Mongols. However the Mongols used faint retreat tactics and lured them into a trap where they were encircled.
Also when the Mongols got too close to Vienna, a small scouting army of Mongols was devastated by heavy armored knights.
But generally the major European powers like Germans, French and English did not see them as too big of a threat to put in any real effort, because the Mongols never went beyond Eastern Europe
@@lazarus921 what? Magyars were Hungarians. And they got destroyed by the Germans
The first campaign of the Mongols happened at the same time as the tensions with Nowgorod were rising, the "Battle on the Ice" on Lake Peipus took place just one year after the battle of Legnica. It should not be overlooked that a large scale Mongol attack on territories the Teutonic Knights were interested in never happened. The campaigns of the Mongols concentrated on Southern Poland and Hungary, keeping everyone of them busy. To the Teutonic Knights they were a somewhat useful threat.
It sounds like king what's his face. LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Mongols invade to Europe because of Kipchaks. Kipchaks ran away to Europe.
The Mongol Empire seems more of a "protection" extortion racket than a true empire. Like when organized crime gets tribute from a business, on the threat that the business will be vandalized or burned, with the owner "roughed up". The Romans "romanized" their conquered territories. Enemy combatants enslaved. Roman veterans taking local wives. As in Gaul.
So the Romans used to enslave you. The Romans, the sons of Esau, were evil
All estates are a protection racket at it's core
