Love your video's Kings and Generals. Your one awesome channel to watch while the Quarantine is going one. Question: When is your next video on the Imgin War and Timur's war against the Ottoman's coming out?
Is it possible to see king sivaji 🆚 tipu sultan
Finally bruh
I wait for it thanks
Good video 👍👍👍
This constitution book of Timur, originally written in Chagatai Turkish, is still in the museum in Uzbekistan.
.
And the first law of Tenzikert-i Temur is as follows;
.
Law 1- Live to glorify Turkishness, to break the hand that lifts a sword to Turk!
.
And the end of the book ends as follows;
.
"We are Melik-i Turan, Emir-i Turkistan, our Turk son is Turk, we are the oldest and strongest of the Turks!"
.

You stupid . You don't know Christian how many Muslim kill. Temir empire have Christian Muslim induism but timur not genocide. But more Christian empire kill more muslim induism and "American Indians genocide" European kill 90- 130million American Indians people. Documentsry read temir times, timurs time don't no genocide

Half is fake history. Real history is different even the real history is also written in iran historian shafirduddin ali yezids book called zafarnama. After timur sacked Delhi a coalition of Indian kingdoms were formed called mahapanchayat which had 80k soldiers and 40k female soldiers. After sacking Delhi timur went to invade meerut but he was defeated by mahapanchayat coalition of 120 soldiers. 80k male soldiers were commanded by mahabali jograj singh gurjar and 40k women soldiers were commanded by rampyari gurjar. The total 120k army was formed of different Indian clans. Amd female soldiers were fighting with guerrilla tactics like attacking timur ration camps and their resting soldiers and 80k male soldiers were fighting head on. Timur was defeated in meerut hence he flees to haridwar to sack the holy city but again he was defeated by mahapanchayat coalition in which the sub commander of mahapanchayat coalition went straight to timur and throwed a spear in timur chest but then was saved by his bodyguard but sub commander died. Timur was again defeated in haridwar hence fleed India but later di ed by infection wound.

@@islamisthetruth3402 I don't really fully agree with you but I understand where you are coming from. I don't think that something that happens by chance - i.e birth - should entirely determine your life. Back then, the common civilian couldn't sleep with peace because she/he always had consistent wars at their doorstep. That is not really living, that is merely surviving.
At least now, in most places, this fear of being massacred doesn't ruin anyone's sleep (of course there are exceptions in some regions, I won't deny).
And still is in many parts of the world, unfortunately 😕
It still is the same for the commies and Islamists
"Could raise only* 10000 cavalries, 40000 infantry and 125 elephants"
That's larger than most European armies at the time. Really comes to show how big India was.

The Viking invasions only had couple thousand men at most, local Indian nobles at that time had minimum ten thousand cavalrymen as garrisons(10k cavalry was literally the lowest unit)
Europeans had fewer troops mainly because if European fuedalism which is different from Indian fuedalism.

"Followed him to the throne and then to the grave" is probably your most subtle but brilliant line in this series.

Son : where
Father : first to my throne and then into the grave
Timur was a ruthless man. He constructed a death fort which is still present in Pakistan near to my home. It consist of a tunnel with sharp blades embeded to the walls. When a prisoner was made to pass through the tunnel, the sharp blades would crush his bones and the body pieces were to be collected at the other side of the tunnel.
Wow, seems rough
Cool invention BTW
Can you be more specific about location/name of this 'death fort'? I suppose this tunnel was vertical hole and the victim was thrown inside from top?

Mallu Iqbal: "I will repel you, like my antecessors had done in the past!"
Timur: "You're aren't your ancestors... Neither I am the previous mongol leaders..."
True af. Neither Mallu Iqbal was of Khalji origin neither Timur was of Mongol origin.
@@RandomGuy-df1oy It wasn't just the Khalaj who defeated the Mongols tho. About the Tughlaq dynasty, the founder Ghazi Malik defeated the Mongols in 29 battles, his son Muhamamd Tughlaq also crushed later Mongol invasions. Mallu Iqbal is their descendent
@kamrul hasan He is not Mongol. His father is Turkified Mongol and his mother is a Turk. He id ethnically Turco Mongol culturally Chagatai Turk.
@kamrul hasan Ottoman sultans had taken their legitimacy from Ottoman dynasty. Timur had no legitimacy. English dynasty is of German origin we dont call English as German. Timur and Timurids were definetly Turkic. Just beacuse his father was of Mongol origin, it will be absurd to call him or his empire as Mongol. He was of Chagatai culture which is present day Uzbeks.
@kamrul hasan Barlas was nothing but a minor tribe. They were not borjigin. Why do you think timur did not use khan or sultan title but he used emir. He did not have any legitimacy.
I can literally listen to this narrator talk for hours. There's something about their voice that makes you want to listen.
The narrator is OfficiallyDevin, he has a CZcams channel where you can listen to more of his voice.
He's the best youtube historic narrator for sure.
I hope he's never replaced. I got so used to it.

Timur's mercy is what saved Europe from Islam. Only a Muslim is strong enough to not let Islam spread. He could've penetrated into Europe and conquered like he was mopping the floor. But the guy wanted God's law to be implemented elsewhere.

Damn Timurs honor levels were in negative weren't they? At least OG Mongols used to spare those who surrendered.
Well one of his nicknames was something like the Duke of Death. So yeah honor at -999
but his dread bar is maxed out ...
He honoured only people who counted: his own troops.
User name OG Mongols didn't always spare those who surrendered; they just did it often enough to give defenders hopes. If you want terror, you need to kill stuff, and you need unpredictability.
Western propaganda cos he was a Muslim. He was bounded by the chivalric code of caliph Ali who was recognised even by the crusaders as a first knight!
On his way across the highway into northern India, Timur downloaded Blinkist and, reading up on history, realized that the Sultanate of Delhi were passionate reenactors of the late Western Roman Empire.
Knowing how this turned out for nomadic horsemen, Timur did his thing. He would be one of the few people to ever create unity between India's muslims and hindus, by forcing them to fight for their lives together. Truly inspiring.
Timur won the battle of Delhi because the Sultan made the rookie mistake of using elephants who, like in every battle since Ipsus, were afk for half the match and didn't get any kills. They then proceeded to yell at him over Skype.
Just as he was in the process of reenacting the Sack of Rome, Timur noticed that a guy named Bayezid had made a call-out post on Twitter and thus raced back to the Middle East in order to record the Diss Track that would end Bayezid's career.
Muslim end the mongols christians and other who say that they are most powerful
@@GARENAff99 Muslims have failed states

The strategy of attacking the countryside to make refugees flood a city and starve it is actually genius, if not extremely brutal.

I read that tactic in a manga called Kingdom.
@@mars-kw8xo guess who general ousen learned his tactics from

This Justification of Delhi massacres was lamer than Timur the lame himself.
I sense that they didn't want to dwell in that aspect of Jihad and raping by Timur's army. the comments are surprisingly calm between Hindus and muslims alike I think they wanted to achieve that and did well. Timur's atrocities were watered down in this video that's true though.
@@prankstereddy They have stated the atrocities committed by his men. Raping and killing comes under those umbrella terms, obviously they won't explicitly say rape etc.

Timur’s tomb was allegedly inscribed with the words “When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble”.
yeah, we got machine guns now...
Man , this should be the plot for "The Mummy 3"
@Long Gone its kinda like the Egyptian mummy curses
@Long Gone it is true. The war started next day and Stalingrad was won as soon as they buried the remains of Timur.
@Long Gone it is true, and i couldn't believe it at first either. Also his tomb has the largest surviving stone of dark jad ( that is the stone's name in persian and arabic as i know it) and it is said after he sacked india, he made sure that the largest of such a precious stone would end up buried with him alone in samarkand.
Delhi's Shah: Bring all of elephants and crush them once more!!
Timur: Send all of Flaming Camels and make those Elephants panic!!

Timur in all his loud gravelly voice in the game makes players motivated to loot and conquer.
Ibn Khaldun actually described Timur as an absolute genius.
Pride can be a strong weakness.

We are living in the most peacefull times compared to whole history. So things that happened in the past seems horrible to us. May be our grandkids would say the same for our life.
Well, only don't say this about 20th century.
The world was a very, very different place before 1945 when imperialism was killed. Before then, the world was mostly a collection of colonial empires with heavy tariffs on each-other and no inter-dependence.
Sorry to say bro we are not live in peace full time maybe we live in peace Full area think about middle East(Syria yaman) and some part of Africa .
I wouldnt say more peaceful, I think we live in times were there is more proxy warfare than anything, mostly the Americans supporting the one side and the Russians the other. I am sure we would be at war a lot had it not been for the invention of nuclear weapons and the fact that the usage of them would constitute war crimes.

Ok so Timur defeated 4 Muslim powers.
The Golden Horde, Delhi Sultanate, The Mamluke Sultanate, and the Ottomans yet he called himself the sword of Islam Lol
Edit: Ok except the Delhi Sultanate since it was already weak
@@eddiesid1149 He killed more Hindus in a short period of time than any other muslim ruler.
@@eddiesid1149 he didn't kill a single Christian prince I assure u lol
He used Islam as a tool. Someone as intelligent as him probably new religions are BS but they are surely useful because religious people are easy to manipulate.
He called himself ghazi which means champion or warrior in the name of islam or more generally hero of islam. There is only one man who was called sword of God in the history of islam, and that's Khalid ibn al Walid.
@@filiusreticulum2926 In those days people actually believed in religion with devoutness. Im sure they also saw the benefits of using religion for loot, plunder etc. especially when their religion teaches that in order to convert non believers that is permitted. Timur believed that other muslim rulers were not true muslimes because they allowed the infidels to live by paying taxes. According to the Quran the jizya tax (religious tax) can only be taken on Christians or Jews not Hindus.

22vx by this time it was a common practice among Rajputs who faced inevitable defeat.
Yes sir, the women were sold in Iran or raped. So, people considered it better to kill their family's rather than to be at the wishes of invading Muslim armies. Especially Rajputs
This was an honourable tradition of Rajputs as in Hinduism women were highly respected back then and to protect that sacredness of women spirit it was done. People will not get it but it is to fight and die by honour rather than by shame.

It's their choice u dumb.
Things that i would like to point out :
- The city boundary, shape and location that you have shown is the later city of Shahjahanabad which was built in 1748 as 8th city of Delhi, while the 14th century city of Delhi was slightly south of that place and named "Firozabad".
- The Jama Masjid in question is not the current Jama Masjid that is famous, but the Jami Masjid in the Ruins of this city (Jama masjid simply means Congregational Mosque). Timur went back and had a mosque built exactly like that in his empire because he liked it so much
Thanks for the interesting info. Can you share the books where you read this ?
Timur is basically like a fantasy book's "Dark Lord".
Well, he certainly was not the most compassionate guy of his time..
Timur probably never lost his mind to the adrenaline rush. Even after crushing his enemy, he had the intelligence to not enter the city at night.
How heroic the Indian hindus and muslims defended Delhi to their last breath against this madman called Timur.
All cities conquered by the mongols were the same. But bravery alone did not grant them victory or survival.
India has that substrata of religious tolerance within her fabric, no matter how much some may try to rip that fabric.
That doesn't mean Indians can't hate each other, inciting hatred is something politicians world over excel at, no different here.
but unfortunately they lost to the demon
arjun mohan Hindutva and RSS And thousands of Muslims murdered by Hindus in the last few decades, prove that you are wrong.

@al Jaberty The Daenerys Targaryen :))
the delhi sultanate had a hostile Hindu population under their control and a lack of any system of royalty which led to huge political instability. For their entire existence they went through 5 dynasties in 1 state and this hampered their conquests of India even though individual leaders were very competent in military ability.
This problem would only later be solved through the Mughal dynasty taking over the throne, which provided a stable rule that would extend the borders of Delhi to its highest extent

Lol, you'll are a really mixed bunch of lads.
The region of current day pakistan was the last line of defence. Cities like Peshawar Multan were our last line of defence. I mean for us residence of the subcontinent. That was before the Europeans found the sea route.
Even today if you see India and pakistan are not separate entities by geography. Both suffered everytime the central asians or Iraninan empires decided to strike. I wish the leaders and people go through history and learn how much Hindus and Muslims have fought together to save our traditions and history.
@Klaidi Rubiku Cities are raised and slaves were captured. Then they were transported in their thousands via the Hindu Kush because these were hindisani prisoners. Both Hindus and Muslims were captured and sold. Turks and Mongols did not care where u came from or what you believed.
After 10-15 years slowly ppl start to occupy the plundered city and rebuild it. Example is the Syrian cities that are war torn like Homs. It was almost destroyed but ppl are slowly returning and rebuilding it.
Multan has the Surya Fire Temple which was destroyed by the Qarmatians. The Surya Fire Temple had the most gold and the Qarmatians destroyed it.
The Timurid's are one of the most overlooked conquers in history. Yeah apparently they used to build pyramids and place a human skull on top of it, striking fear into subjects and enemies alike. It would look pretty ominous to see a bunch of pyramids with a skulls on top. Medieval 2 Total War first introduced me to the Timurid's when I was a kid like 15 years ago. Great game.
Most overlooked in the USA. He never went further west than Russia and Turkey, He conquered the Turks and carried the Turkish Grand Sultan around in a giant bird cage. Later the Turks wasted and terrorized Russia and Europe with massive slave raids... Actually they built pyramids outside every city they sacked made entirely of the human heads of the slain. Timur once built his own Wailing Wall. He had a tall wall built of living people and bricks, with the peoples heads and feet protruding, screaming and begging (in Persia I think).
He was many sided, liked education, art, architecture, was very sadistic, started as a cattle rustler, bandit, and ended world conqueror. He was famous for sacking all libraries and sending the books to Samarkand his capitol, He also sent all captured artisans of all types to Samarkand- the books left behind he burnt, the leftover artisans enslaved or killed.. Lucky for China he died before he got around to them. Persia credits Timur for the loss of at least 1/3rd of all their history, science, medical knowledge, art. I read Timurs book.
Timurs great problem was he conquered and ruled wherever he was, and whenever he left, rebellion broke out.
@@bluskies1000 did you poll 350 million people in usa? 😂
They could be just as overlooked in 100 different countries.......
lel, Timur wasn’t taking China which just overthrew Yuan dynasty
@@johnnyboy3410 he was planning on conquering China but he died before he could try it
@@alphagamer9505 he died on his way to China but he still wouldn’t have conquered it or come close to doing so
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT WORK
This is why people like SALADIN more than TIMUR. Atleast Saladin did not allow massacres on civillian population instead giving them amnesty to leave the city walls. He made some of his generals angry by not taking advantage of large scale looting in many cases. Unlike Timur, if you surrender he let you live. You can be a conquerer and still have some humanity in you.
@@smellypatel5272 damn but people concluded from zafarnama(biography of this bloke) that he did it to spread islam ,which is lame cuz most of he conquered were already muslim🥴
Не путай ситуацию Салахиддина и Темура
Саладин воевал всего лишь освободить одного города а Тамерлан воевал чтобы создать империя. Он это сделал специально чтобы людям наводить страх которые в последствии у людей не останется мысли сопротивляться и понимают что это бессмысленно. Ещё это делал чтобы покоренные народы не подняли восстание потому что одного место возвращается ещё обратно это трата больше времени и денег. Тем более тогда не было средства быстрого движения
@@ILYAS-7 Темур не наводил страх, а боролся с теми кто мешал ему идти походом на Китай, также боролся с ересью в мусульманских странах на тот момент. В основном с алавитами которые сейчас во главе с Асадом терроризирует мусульман в Сирии.
Пример первой ситуации борьба с Золотой Ордой так как Тохтамыш предал того кто поставил на трон, и поэтому несут бред совка о том что Темур помог России подняться, тогда как после Темура Золотая Орда просуществовало ещё 240 лет. Этому способствовало то что Темур поставил на трон Золотой Орды Едыгея который уничтожил объедение Руси.
Баязет оскорбив жену Темура получил люлей, однако Османы получили в подарок от Темура Измир и Крым которые турки н смогли взять 20 лет всего за неделю.
Про Темура пишут такую ересь только враги Ислама которые также желают наговор на Мехмета второго завоевавшего Константинополь и сделавший его Истанбулом. Его и его внуков принявшим христианство, Астагфуруллах.
Это в основном этот бред несут псевдосаляфиты. Которые являются сектой созданный англосаксами и иудейской верхушкой британской империи.
Поэтому прежде чем наговаривать на Темура стоит прочитать историю Лоуренса Аравийского.
Иначе в судный день придется ответить за такое.
I remember reading that Timur promised to a city that if they surrendered then no blood will be shed, after they surrendered he buried them alive.
The last time I was this early Timur was sweeping across the Ottoman empire...
You messed a lot of videos bro
Time traveling is hard, what can I say
@Aleksa Petrovic he will did because his health in decline before the campaign and after his death the timurid empire wil decline until 1526 when its fell
Half is fake history. Real history is different even the real history is also written in iran historian shafirduddin ali yezids book called zafarnama. After timur sacked Delhi a coalition of Indian kingdoms were formed called mahapanchayat which had 80k soldiers and 40k female soldiers. After sacking Delhi timur went to invade meerut but he was defeated by mahapanchayat coalition of 120 soldiers. 80k male soldiers were commanded by mahabali jograj singh gurjar and 40k women soldiers were commanded by rampyari gurjar. The total 120k army was formed of different Indian clans. Amd female soldiers were fighting with guerrilla tactics like attacking timur ration camps and their resting soldiers and 80k male soldiers were fighting head on. Timur was defeated in meerut hence he flees to haridwar to sack the holy city but again he was defeated by mahapanchayat coalition in which the sub commander of mahapanchayat coalition went straight to timur and throwed a spear in timur chest but then was saved by his bodyguard but sub commander died. Timur was again defeated in haridwar hence fleed India but later di ed by infection wound.
Amazing! as always
Delhi:Sack by Afghan,Maratha,Timurids,British,Sikhs ,hard time there
All ancient cities go through such cycles. It gives you a perspective
and today delhis natives cease to exist because of the large no of biharis, punjabis and UP bhaiyas
marathas and sikhs are natives though
@@reeshabhjain Natives to their region though
@Dave Jonas Aharon Lol Sikhism was founded in Punjab not Delhi, and it was founded after this battle took place. Also Porus never defeated Alexander, I'm not Greek or Macedonian btw
This is one of the best if not the best CZcams Chanel hands down
Timur was a muslim just by name , in reality he was the second coming of Genghis khan
His only intention was to plunder, didn't care of any religion or even land.
He was not a true muslim. He was an atheist.
@Klaidi Rubiku slavery is not forbidden in islam. fratricide was confirmed by the shayk al islam though its debatable
No doubt he was evil but he was great commander and his empire was best at that time
How is Timur doing any different from previous Islamic warlord? His legitimacy comes from exactly doing what warlords before him was doing.
Hey, Kings and Generals! I am big fan but I have a small criticism with some of your latest videos. Lately, during the map segments, the character icons look too small to read their names until you zoom more and sometimes you don't zoom during a whole segment. The narration helps but sometimes there are characters and cities you don't mention by name.
I hope you can continue to make great videos!
Very good video I wish you continue in the series of Timur and share more videos in the future
I was waiting for this video, literally! Thanks :D (y)
Timur is like the First Order, but is written well.
The First Order from star wars is basically the edited copy of the Galactic Empire the only problem is that that edited copy is poorly edited
@Zachary Durocher First Order is one of the several small organisations that formed up after the Galactic empire.
It is a faction in Star Wars Franchise
First Order is the result of someone wanting so badly to create a remake of the Original Trilogy, but being told no, and doing it anyway.
Looool
consoomer can only draw comparisons of things from harry potter and star wars
“He did not want to get caught in a trap in narrow city streets at night”
Clearly, Timur was paying attention when KaG covered Pyrrhus a while ago
Timur reads alot at night, wait what... some Greek something Roman town at night, f×$$ that. I'll bring the nightlife to my camp.
I wonder how things would have played out if the Sultans of Delhi received help from the Jaunpuri Sultanate, the Ujjaniya Rajputs and the Rajputana under the nominal leadership of Mewar. These were the dominant powers in North India at the time apart from the Delhi Sultans.
All of them boasted significant heavy cavalry of Afghan, Rajput and Turkic origin.
This would have meant Timur's flanks being threatened by the South and the West, and massive reinforcements for Delhi from its immediate neighbours in the East.
With each of these players being able to field at least 10,000 cavalry, I'd imagine even Timur would have had a hard time.
If only there was a Total War: Medieval India.
There's EU4, start date is just a bit after this conquest, but you can play as mewar, jaunpur, timurids, delhi etc, but I'd wager you've already heard of it seeing your comment and the channel
@@tentathesane8032 yeah I know of it. Played it as well. Along with Hearts of Iron IV, Crusader Kings 2 and Total War Rome 2.
I love EU4, but I'm imagining a tactical strategy game, with real time battles, like Total War.
The problem with total war Medival India, is the same problem that 3 kingdoms has, after awhile it just gets ...Samey, since the unit variety won’t be huge. Ofcourse the Indian subcontinent was a diverse place , but in reality there wouldn’t have been. A HUUUGE difference in terms of the unity variety.
Of course, the games set in Europe, / west Asia have the same problem - the Celtic factions are very similar, the Persianate factions are similar, the Arab factions are similar the Hellenic factions are similar etc BUT those faction blocks ARE quite distinct from one another. You can take a Celtic Suebi tribe and invade Persia if you like and the two armies fighting each other would be so massively different it creates a strange fantasy. A total war set in India or China lacks that, and after awhile it gets stale.
There’s a reason that Total War Warhammer is the most popular total war ever, and it is because the Factions are all completely different.
That's like saying what if the Ottomans and Timur unified. The world wouldnt have a had chance. Thankfully for India. Turks killed each other off.
@AKANSHA that's funny and not true since, all Indian kings belonged to either the Brahmin or the Kshatriya caste. The highest and second highest caste in the hierarchy and they had no reason to hate each other.
LOL. Have you ever even tried reading history kid?

Very nice video like always.
My 2cent thoughts for little improvement of the videos - the font size of the names of the characters are abit small. I cant read it on my TV. Maybe just increasing their size is all that it needs.
Thanks for the awesome video!
Timur was more of a wild fighter than a noble conqueror. We used to think Genghis Khan was very cruel because he took over many places. But the 'Kings and Generals' channel showed that Genghis Khan had good reasons and plans for his battles. He only destroyed towns if they killed his messengers or fought back. Timur, on the other hand, often broke his promises.
Keep up the great content! Can't wait to see what happens between Temur and the Ottomans. With Temur in mind, a suggestion may be to make a consolidated ranking of generals / leaders from post bronze age till the 1800s or something. So many great names come to mind, and I think it could be the basis for fun and intellectual debate.
K&G already made a video on the battle of Ankara 1402
Funny coincidence I was just reading Timur's account in this invasion. Now I can watch the video. Awesome!
Hats off to your hard work only one channel on you tube which makes hiatory interesting
Timur had very interesting character. He was ruthless genius but at the same time he was extremly found of arts and music. Probably he was the only commander draws buildings and city(Semerkand) plan. When he conquered baghdad he saw onion dome for the first time and liked. He made that kind of dome in his buildings. After his death his descendant continued that dome from north India to russia than it become symbolic element in russian architecture.
Stalin loved classical music and had an interest in painting and architecture. Still a bloody mass murderer.
@@ExVeritateLibertas he was interesting too
@@kianghorbanpor9988,indeed.Stalin wss interesting
@@ExVeritateLibertas If you have no power to defend yourself, do not fight, if you surrendered to Timur, you did not die.
KNEEL BEFORE THE EMPEROR
Similar to Ashurbanipal of the neo Assyrian empire
Historians never talked about Timur, this incredible military commander.
He has never seen defeat. And defeated many large empires and civilizations.
If he lived a little longer, he would have conquered entire China without problems.
I do not think, when Timur was still alive, Ming China had very competent generals, with a competent emperor and a stable administration which knew how to overthrow the Yuan (Mongolian) dynasty and we knew how to counter the techniques of nomadic war, d 'elsewhere, China were developed militarily especially at the level of gunpowder to counter their lack of cavalry, moreover that is how the song dynasty resisting nearly 74 years against the Mongol invasion!
China haded gunpowders and advanced weapons Timur would have gotten humbled and don't forget his empire was a tributary state to the Ming
They could raid China, but far from conquered China
@@teo5758 Timur is a leader at the level of Chengiz Khan.
I am a Crimean Tatar and I can say that Timur is one of the top 5 the Conqueror
in the World.
The defeat of the Turkic Ottoman Empire and the Mongol Golden Horde in 2 hours is an indication of this.
Comparing Timur with the last Yuan Emperor(Khan) is a fool. They are a cookie for Timur.
@Muqan Khagan Even genghis khan could not invade all of China despite his military knowledge! even her grandson Mongke was killed in a siege against a Chinese fortress! As I said, it took almost a century and 3 generations of khan to conquer all of China, Timur would not have survived long enough and even if eventually he would have had success from the start of the war against the MING, China would have pushed back the invasion and would even have continued the territorial expansion towards the west and recreate an empire like that of the Tang dynasty, after the death of Timur his empire was worsened and had not have survived long and it was pretty quickly divided!
thanks again for covering more of timur, very interesting and highly capable character indeed
Timur is a tactical genius, he immediately capitalized both on his strengths and his enemy's weaknesses. He did not want long sieges so he used terror and military prowess on the field to scare cities into submission. He also used a favourite mongol tactic of terrorising the countryside to force many of its inhabitants to flee to cities to quickly starve the defenders and to spread panic in the city.
"Timur knew a showdown between them was coming and so do you." That's what I like!!
7:35 They committed Saka(Fighting till death by Rajput men) and Johar(Self immolation)by women. Which was a recurring theme whenever situations were dire.
Timur was such a progressive guy. He didn't care if you were Christian, Muslim, or Hindu, he slaughtered everyone equally.
Lol
Just like Genghis
We can't accused him of religious intolerance since he treat everyone the same even his own kind
Socialism for slaughtering lolll
first communist
Ah, this is what I was waiting for!
i loved all your vedios thankyou for uploading
It is important to realize the extent of deterioration that had taken place in the Delhi Sultanate. In the events following Allaudin Khilji 's death, Rajputana under Sissodiyas, Deccan under the Bahamanis and South India under first the Nayaka then the Vijayanagar empire drove out the Sultanate armies. While Tughlaqs looked to keep control of the falling fortunes, regional Indian rulers had copied much of Alaudin's Khalisa system to raise stronger and better quality armies. Delhi Sultan's loss of Sindh, Rajputana and Gujarat affected the cavalry department badly. Since these were the only regions with good cavalry breeds apart from the imported horses. So the cavalry contingents became fewer in the Delhi armies. Defeats at the hands of the Bahamanis and the Rajputs in Rajputana further showed the detoriation of the military infrastructure. By the time of Feroz Shah Tughlaq, the Sultanate army quality was lower than that of its vassal governors.
You know one of the most irritating things is that this routing of Delhi Sultanate by locals is never taught in our textbooks. Its Delhi Sultanate and then directly to Mughals and then to British, never taught about Rajputs, Marathas, Jats and Sikhs. Basically tell a Hindu that you are a coward who was always ruled by others.
What I feel more important is to really emphasize the collapse of Alaudin and Balban's Khalisa system and market reforms. The Sultans were able to maintain their power on the strength of their Khalisa lands which enabled them to raise their own personal retinue. Alaudin reformed the market, setting fixed and lower price range to make regular commodities affordable for his troops kept near Delhi. Thus, thanks to these steps Delhi Sultanate could always fight any foe, be they local Indian or foreign Mongolian, with a decided logistical initiative, being able to maintain their army ever ready for action. With the civil wars that followed Alaudin's death, this system broke down and soon the Sultan's central power decreased till the time he became just the first among equal chiefs and nobles.
@@RahulYadav-uv8fz will to be honest that was the case for hindus for most of history
what is khalisa? turkic slave cavalry system seen everywhere else?
@@muharremrevani3895 Khalisa or in Persia the Khassa system was basically a large fief from which the ruler would raise his own troops rather than rely on his feudatories and governors. Alaudin Khilji brought in market reforms lowering prices and inflation, this enabled him to maintain larger army through his khalisa lands. These troops would later often be called Khasgi or Khassa troops.
Also Turkic military system was used by the Sultanate armies: Amir commanded a regiment or Risala, often called a Risaldar. A Malik commander multiple amirs and their Risalas, was also called often the Faujdar. While finally a Khan ranked officer commander a full provincial army, often called Sar I Lashkar or Ariz i Lashkar.

Too nice historic video full of clear explaining of chains events which were bloody battles and death of authorities
"He followed him to the throne and then to the grave." DAAAAAAAMMMMN, YOU'RE SAVAGE!!!!!
Like Genghis Khan before him, Timur was a true leader of his troops. He knew that he needed to rule with strong discipline, but also he knew that, in order to have their unquestionable loyalty, he needed to reward then generously by allowing to plunder.
Thanks for a detailed documentary
That happiness you feel when you get notification from this channel almost that one you feel when you get your driving licence

@Fahim Hussain @Александр Lol You should ask the Huns, Arabs, Sakas, etc. No Indigenous Indian empire was ever defeated by invaders.
@@jupe2001 It's not the same as never being invaded. You can win every battle and still lose the war which India did.
@delli delli Well, the huns almost did, but they got defeated twice, once by Skandagupta, and another time by a coalition of local Indian rulers, what led to the downfall of the Guptas, was Skandagupta's spending too much to conquer the Huns, and the Hunnic invasions encouraged governers to revolt or change sides, so the huns lost the war, but you can say that they kind of won indirectly.
what you kean wven India. They have lost every single battle in their history

Timur didn't slaughter Hindus and Muslims alike, Muslims were killed only if they were soldiers from opponent Kings, Hindu civilians were killed wherever he found them on his route.He even enslaved hundreds of thousands Hindus after his massacre in Delhi(needless to say Hindus were his prime target there) and took them across "Hindukush".

Most likely made up, you can never trust these sources 100%
"Being aware what would happen, Men of Delhi burned their houses with their families still being there and rushed to battlefield where they were killed"
Imagine what kind of guy a Timur was that people would rather burn families to death instead of having them get in hands of him.
Ah I remember this one in Age of Empires!
I lined up some trebuchets with gaps between them and begun hammering Delhi's defences. Once they sent out cavalry to try and make it stop, I pushed many camels covered with explosives out from between the siege engines, detonating on their cavalry as they tried to interfere. A beautiful desolation.
timur is one of the undefeatable generals in past time.
