How Poland Finally CRUSHED the Mongols - DOCUMENTARY

- čas přidán 3. 10. 2022
- 1287, the Mongolian Golden Horde launches a major campaign against the Kingdom of Poland. This would be the third time a Mongol army invaded the country; the Poles knew well that they were facing a formidable opponent. Commanded by two capable and experienced military leaders - Nogai Khan and Talabuga Khan, the Golden Horde’s army divided and entered Poland via two attack points. For many of the Poles, they had little option but to hole up within the country’s fortresses. However, one nobleman, Duke Leszek the Black, would muster an army and confront the Golden Horde head on. Meanwhile, he would appeal to his neighbor, the King of Hungary for help. Hungary would respond, and soon, a coalition Polish-Hungarian force would stand against the Mongols, bolstered by the courageous Hungarian commander George of Sóvár.

I now understand why Poles have disdain for Western Ukrainian people (Ruthenians ) a long memory of betrayal
Golden Hord was a turk country! Why? They speak the turk language, not mongolian one!
Stop repeating this nonsense over and over again. Mongolians had neither their own state, nor their own army until 20th century. What is now the capital of Mongolia Ulan Bator, until 20th century was a small town on the trade route from China to Russia. Neither Russia, nor China ever had any problems with Mongols.
Many centuries the town which is called now Ulan Bator was guarded by a small garrison of Russian Cossacks. Sometimes it was captured by Chinese hunhuzes but there are no records whatsoever that Russians had ever any problems with Mongols or Buryats. You should understand that Tatars are Europeans.
Much Love to my Polish Brothers and Sisters from Hungary !!

Poor Poland its so flat and easy to invade. Good people and good culture. Sad history.
So is the rest of Europe
Let's appreciate the military history of Poland. Thanks for this video. The Poles and Hungarians learned. The Horde was not invincible.
Hungarian here... Very few western european knows the history: Eastern and Central europe held back for 500 years invasion after invasion, meanwhile western europe used the opportunity to figh with each other, and than conquer other countries on other continents, just to mock US after that how poor we are.
Western europe does not deserve simpathy, because they have never given us any.
By that time the Mongols were a shadow of their former selves

Thanks for posting this. So little history of Poland is known on YT.
There's a video on CZcams about Pulaski who fought for Poland then came to the USA and fought here for us
Poland has just recently, in the terms of recorded history, regained their own sovereignty. When Gernmany and the Soviets divided Poland up and subsequent Soviet occupation they had only had their country back for a short period. Poland had been in the mix of powerful countries for centuries but ended up being partitioned between Russia, Prussia and Austria long ago.
When a country is taken over like that they tend to have the history stolen, like their lands and freedom. Not unlike my country when European settlers came over and wiped out the Anerican natives living here with disease not native to the Americas and through the wars which ended in the conquest of the continent. Just like when my people, the Lakota, vanquished those living in the Black Hills, our history was lost just as we had stolen their lands, enslaved their women and children and killed their men, we took their history.
Just as some of our history remains, there is much history remaining from Poland.
Not as much as the history that has been lost.
Type in yt : animated history of Poland. You wont regret.

Hungary and Poland have been joint at the hip for a millenium. Some of our best kings came from Hungary.
Let's not forget that many hungarian kings had polish mothers aswell.

@@brozjoszip6401 well, let's be honest. Hungaria fell against Mongols first time, and after Mohacs half of a nobility changed their faith as socks, even if it suppose to be an islam. From Mohacs, Hungaria would be definitely lost without Habsburgs.
@@grimnoob893 "Hungaria would be definitely lost without Habsburgs"
After that, they decided to finish what the Turkish started. They stayed for good and wanted everything. They didn't help, they just saw an opportunity to get the Kingdom. Everytime we tried to get rid of them they striked back. Even their language was a must to learn. If it would have depended on them we would speak German today.
Their final "present" for us was that they dragged us into starting the first World War and look who took the greatest damage. Not them for sure.
Few months ago, I made a discovery of unknown, small castle/fortification on top of one of the hills near Łagów. Characteristics of that fortification was typical to XII-XIII century. But that is not all - I manage to find a mongol-type arrowhead, inside remains of walls of that castle, wich also can be dated to around XIII century. Clearly, that fortification was besieged or at least Mongols tried to took it by force. Ofcourse, I submitted my discoveries to local archeologist responsible for that area. He confirmed my assumptions about age of that castle remains and arrowhead, and now I am proud to be official doscoverer of previously unknown castle remains :)

Impressive that the Poles amanged to defeat an enemy despite the disadvantages of their terrain, for example considering most of their geography comprises of flat, arable land good for agriculture and horse pasture, it would be the ideal place for Mongols to utilize their horse riding tactics of hit and run to weaken and ram the Polish resistance.
If you read the treaty of that franciscan friar sent to mongolian heartland on how to defeat them it's exactly what you should do, as opposed to letting them split into smaller units and force your subjects into fortresses
most of Poland back then was forests, even today forests are more than 30% of teritory of Poland
@@G_Signer yep, there is reason why last great European land mammals such as bisons or taurus( last one died in Poland during late middle-ages) survived for so long
the element of speed and surprise of the Poles & Hungaryans and the Golden horde neglecting the incredible intel gathering and scouting capabilities of the earlier Mongol army played a role in that / Horse archers are deadly effective but only if they know where the enemy is and can them keep them at a distance, however sudden charges out of nowhere mean big trouble
Horse Archers and hit and run tactics only work if the opposing force falls for them. If the opposing force holds rank, doesn’t chase after the horse archers, and keeps discipline them more likely than not they’d smash the Mongols.
The Mongols nearly lost Mohi in 1242 when the Hungarians where completely unprepared for them.
The Mongol invasion of Poland is seldom covered to any relevant extent and this documentary was excellent on describing the conflict and stories of Leszek and Nogai. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.

There's a popular saying about the traditional kinship, brotherhood, and camaraderie between Poles and Hungarians.
Pole and Hungarian brothers be,
good for fight and good for party.
Both are valiant, both are lively,
Upon them may God's blessings be.
The saying's Polish text reads
Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki,
i do szabli, i do szklanki,
oba zuchy, oba żwawi,
niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi.
The full, two-couplet Hungarian version reads
Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát,
Együtt harcol s issza borát,
Vitéz s bátor mindkettője,
Áldás szálljon mindkettőre.
"Pole and Hungarian brothers be,

I do not know about the history education in Poland, but in Hungary just the lost battles at Muhi and Legnica are educated in 1241, not the second and third mongol invasion, when the mongols lost in both countries.
yea, Hungary destroyed the Mongols, very strange how few people know about it
I am just so very ignorant of militaryhistoey. I had no idea the Mongols were as late as 1287 a major threat. Really enjoy your posts! Thanks a million😁
That was really their peak in the west then they fractured with bickering and gave up moving west and went east before fading out.
@@terryhughes7349 well in russia, which is part of europe, they were still dominating until 1500s
The Mongols who remained in Europe gradually morphed into the Tatars, who remained a major threat well into the 1600s, and were only taken down toward the end of the 1700s.
@@stayhungry1503 Do not forget that Crimean khanat, was liquidated in 18th century and even few years ago Tatars were still mayor culture in Crimea, until Putin came there to "rescue" everybody from "nazis".
if you are from America I would say you are forgiven, but if you are from Europe.. dude come on...
Upvote for just mentioning the proper term for east-slavic people of that times, Ruthenians. Kudos
Thanks!
Well... It's still proper term for eastern slavic nations who do not consider them self as Russians. Ukrain thats the term from Old-Polish which meant at the border or at the edge of the world. Belarus means White Ruthenia.
Many people don't understand that Ukraine and Belarus don't speak russian but they speak Ruthenian languages which r like Ukrainian mixed polish and russian 50%-50%
Belarus they speak very similar language to russian but not the same.
Cuz russians are slavicized ugrofines and mongols. Their language contains multiple post mongolian words also a lot german from Cathrine period.
Great video, this particular Invasion isn't memorised in Poland, in history books only first devastaing invasion is described when Silesian prince Henry the Pious was slain and eeunification of Polish crown was stopped. I personally didn't knew about this successfull defence despite knowing history preety well.
Fun fact: this one is mentioned in series of history/fantasy books "Odrodzone Krolestwo" written by Elzbieta Cherezinska

Poland is not eastern europe
@@ksodz1397 Dla zachodniej Europy jesteśmy wschodnią Europą nawet jak niektórzy tutaj zaklinają rzeczywistość. Dla nich wszystko co było pod panowaniem ZSRR jest wschodnią Europą.

You need good riders to fight the Horde and the polish and the hungaryans have a great cavalry tradition. Very capable horsemen in every conflict!
true, actually in 19th century most of if not all of European cavalry fought in polish and hungarian style
The Mongols used hit and run strategies with horse archers. The East Europeans eventually learned to just wait until they come close and shoot crossbow bolts at the horses. Then they used heavy knight cavalry to finish them off when they were distressed

Lord Robert, an excellent video! Shadiversity once said that something that actually stopped the Mongol advance was castles. It's seemingly true, as those who survived the onslaught would learn.
Regarding the learning, was there a significant increase in discipline among these regions or was it still as it was in the rest of Europe? Knights going without orders and infantry ready to break?
How do Kings and Lords actually bring more people to these depopulated places?
Knights going without orders and infantry ready to break weren't the standard anywhere in Europe.
As for castles, Shad is actually wrong. Castles didn't stop the Mongols/Tatars. Not on its own. Fortified cities and castles were helpful but Tatars quickly learned to simply avoid sieges and unfavorable battles and just focus on quick raids, deep into enemy territory which were absolutely devastating.
The only way to reliably stop Tatars was to deploy your own cavalry force capable of keeping up with the fast-moving horde and forcing it to battle. In the Kingdom of Poland, it eventually led to the creation of a standing army known as Obrona Potoczna (Mobile Defense).
@@kamilszadkowski8864 True, if only Fortified cities and castles worked, Then China & Kwarezm would've never been conquered by the Mongols, let alone those Hashashin mountain fortresses

This reminds me of Aetius against Atilla. Despite the Huns bring a powerhouse Aetius figured out their way of war and countered it. This is the same way with the Mongols. Though initially successful eventually the Mongols were figured out. Though they advanced somewhat the Mongols used the same playbook.
Aetius was a beast, an the fact he had to unite with his old enemies to defeat an even bigger enemy is Hollywood gold. Crazy thing is these happened, it's just mind boggling.
