The code doesn't work?
Proto Ukranians??? Really??? That's a thing??? Cos I thought at that time they called themselves Russians and were part of the Kievan Rus.XD
In fact, didn't the defeat to the Mongols happen under the Rurik dynasty whose last known descendant/ruler was Feodor I of RUSSIA aka Fyodor I Ivanovich, a RUSSIAN czar during the 16th century???
You advertise yourself as a channel presenting historical accounts of significant military events...
You're a joke and a blatant propagandist, shame on you. Unsubscribed.
Northern Estonia was under Danish rule, not Swedish rule.
Also parts of Estonia weren't under Novgorod rule back then.
FINLAY THE RIGHT TERMINOLOGY ! STILL , WE LITWINS (GDL) who destroyed ulus of juchi
It seemed rare for ruler siblings to support each other in history, but Danylo and Vasylko were doing great. Imagine being cut on the chest and not even realizing it 😐
By Neo For the Algorithm and Tengri gods!:)
Also 14th century brother ruling duo of Grand Duchy of Lithuania Kęstutis (father of a Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas the Great) in the west and Algirdas (father of Jogaila, King of Poland) in the east.
"How did the Ruthenians defend against the Mongols?" "They didn't....." *loony toon ending theme music*
Why fight when the option of going with the flow lets them rule and survive? It is always wise to know where and when to fight
It's nice to see, for a change, a case where two brothers actually get along and find a way to carry on their father's legacy and lands without killing each other!
Ivan Franko, great ukrainian writer, wrote a novel Zakhar Berkut exactly about these events. Translated into English by Theodosia Boresky.
Highly recommended!
Excellent recommendation: beautifully written and translated. Thank you for the title and author.
Recently new version of Zakhar Berkout was made by Hollywood. This is second movie based on Ivan Franko novel.
Did Franko knew that hes ukrainian?
Congratulations on 3 million subscribers! You are by far my favorite history channel. Keep up the great work.
8:14 You failed to admit that you said in several videos that the Mongols abandoned the campaign in the west because of Ogedei's death. You said the same thing with Möngke's death.
Yeah, I really recommend you listen to Dan Carlin’s Wrath of the Khans. Some great stories in there that will help string alot of the mongol timeline together. Cheers!
Pope: "If you convert to Catholicism, we'll provide you with support in the upcoming fight with the Mongols."
Danylo: "I don't like it, but I need all the help I can get."
Pope: "Oh, actually we can't provide you with anything right now but we'll give you this shiny new crow."
Danylo: "...I'm converting back to Orthodoxy."
Pope: "What?! You can't do that! We demand you convert back to Catholicism immediately!"
Danylo: "What're you going to do? Have that army you promised to help fight the Mongols but all of a sudden can't muster come and attack me instead? Oh wait."
Thank you for this high-quality content, and the high-quality subtitles for us non-English speakers!
Seeing the comments call out the video for being wrong gives me hope that not everyone is far gone.
Might be, but Zelensky is still kicking Putins in the teeth. Russia is a joke not a power. Chechens and mobilized dying by the thousands for inches, just so US weapons can blow them up as target practice. Then, Poland will finish the job if needed. Slava Ukraina fool
Only history lovers can think logically. Others just follow what people say without even thinking for themselves. I pity them

Outstanding video, guys. 👍
In terms of content this is a great video. 👍 This period in this region of Europe is rarely explored in English-speaking world. But I think using the term Ukrainians is a little anachronistic here. It would also be really interesting to see you covering the struggle for Halych-Volhynia region between Poles, Lithuanians and Hungarians in 14th century and a kind of 'westernization' of the region in subsequent centuries because of Polish influence in Ruthenia. 🦁💙
and why anachronistic?
@@massive1979 like it or not, the concept of "nation" originated with the french revolution. Italians appeared in the 19th century, and it doesn't matter that earlier people were called Genoese, Milanese, and had the same religion, culture, tradition, language
@@Kwerd We don't call the Holy Roman Empire Germany either. It just wasn' t that nation yet.
@@massive1979 What did you mean by "existing as a nation"? Then who were those people living in Ruthenia? They were not ethical Poles, not ethical Lithuanians, not ethical Hungarians, they had their own language and culture, their own state and kings (who's sons married daughters of Hungarian kings). Then who exactly were they? Some aliens? As it is told in the video, the title Ruthenia was only a title of the region - not some ethnical group.
@@michimatsch5862 Which would be why calling the inhabitants of the HRE proto-Germans is accurate. They had always been called Germanic, but Germany, the state, no it didn't exist until the Franco-Prussian war came to a close and all the Germanic nations unified into one empire.
Welp, we have another set of royal brothers, civil war time!

There were no Cuman, they were Kipchak
@@ChevyChase301 why do you call yourself Karl V. Do you really thing you are a king? Very mature
Anyone who has played Total War Medieval 1 knows that the Ukrainians/Rus should have built the biggest fortresses possible in Volga-Bulgaria and the Chimera and filled it with a ton of Halberdiers with gold armour and gold weaponry (but not enough to be starved out in a few turns). If they did this the Mongols would have all stood in archery range of the walls and sent units one by one to hit the gates with swords whilst standing under pouring boiling oil until the swords eventually made the portcullis suddenly disappear. Then they would be all killed in turn by the Halberdiers. Just talking from personal experience.
Wow this was a complete blind spot for me i knew areas close to there but this is a whole new thing for me
Changing the title and thumbnail was a good decision.
Great video again!
They changed the thumbnail lmao😂😂
I think they were called Kievan rus correct if im wrong
Even this is a term created by historians. They called themselves Rus'
There was no Kyivan Rus, this name was created in 19th century.
If you will read chronicles deeply you will see that the word “Rus” was mostly used like ethnonym but not like territory.
Mostly by the word “Rus” people mean orthodox people.
There was also term “роусьска земля” that means territory of over Dnipro lands, Volyn, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Pereyaslav and Smolensk.
Also you will see that people wrote: “I am going from Novhorod to Rus” or “I am going from Suzdal to Rus”
I think the Kievan Rus were one part of what could be called proto-Ukrainian. Do NONE of you people criticizing this choice of words understand what proto means?
Curumsah successor was a different story.

I don’t think anyone was describing the people of that area as proto Ukrainians haha

I don't blame the two brothers one bit for bowing down to the Mongols. They would've been destroyed otherwise.
The Battle of the Kolka River is covered but then how do the Battles of Legnica and Mohi not figure into the story?

The oldest recorded mention of the word ukraina dates to the year 1187.

kinda funny cos "Fulminatus" here has directly *rewarded* the use of "proto-ukrainians" in the algorithm by even caring enough to comment, cos a comment is engagement
@@AdamOwenBrowning IT IS PANDERING. it is obvious, the Rus were people from Novgorod, Moscow, Ryazan, Kiev and many others and like Italy divided in numerous polities but Undeboutly similar even if later they developed a separate identity
for sure, but clickbait is hardly a new thing.
The Rus princes were the bravest princes in Europe. It was customary for the Prince to lead the charge at every battle. Im very pleased to hear the great Mongols respected such bravery. Amazing Amazing Amazing!
Russian correct in english
K&G.... I like your videos, they are good way to learn history and made me buy several books about many civs/empires/etc.
But calling the Kievan Rus as proto-Ukranians... Is way, but way far fetched. That's the same as calling the Lusitanians, a celtiberian tribe, the proto-portuguese.
Ruthenians would, at least, have been a better phrasing.
that is, Genoese, Milanese and Bolognese are not Italians? and it turns out that the Italians appeared only in the 19th century?
@@Kwerd Not sure if you are joking but northern Italia was indeed settled by celtic (Romans called them gallic) people. Northern Italy was indeed called provincia gallia cisalpina (Gallia this side of the Alps), then came 600 years Roman rule, then the German Langobard (or Lombards) moved into the area. So, what IS Italian and which one of these people are proto-Italian? Diogo Sousa is absolutely correct that calling Ruthenians from 1000 years ago proto-Ukrainians is absurd and K&G apparently agreed as they changed the title.
@@yaldabaoth2 And where did the Ruthenians disappear then? Some nomads came and took their place, or how?
@@Kwerd Mixed with Kossack, Turkic/mongol (tatar), Turkish, Polish, Lithuanians, Romanians, Russians etc. There weren't many Ruthenians left after the mongols were done (Kyiv destroyed and 95%+ of the population killed) and mostly near the Carpathian mountains. The steppes were empty and dominated by non-ruthenian nomads.
@@Kwerd you do realize that Ukraine this time had several groups besides the Kievan Rus.
Your example of the Genoese and others from the italian peninsula cant really be compared to the Kievan Rus.
They weren't proto-italians, they were already italians.
That's way i said "Ruthenians", as then we know we're talking about the Rus that would, throughout centuries, become the Ukrainians.
The Portuguese were once the same as the Galicians (in Galiza, Spain, both descendents of the inhabitants in the Northwest corner of Iberia), same language, culture and costumes. But through historical events, as the roman conquest of Iberia and the consequent divide of the peninsula with the roman provinces of Lusitania and Gallaecia, and later disputes between aristocratic families, churches and others, the soon to be Portuguese rebelled from Galiza and expanded south. Is somewhat similar with the Kievan Rus... A group that would later split between the Ukranians and Russians (as well the Belarusians... The almost always forgotten brother of the 3).
How ruthenians fought the mongols:
They submitted
Why is it proto Ukraine instead of Rus lol
He's getting a check from Ukraine government
Because russians are the descendens of the mongols who destroy The real Rusia they became white by mixing with The real russians,The ukrainians.
No coments
Because Russia is toxic and a joke. Zelensky kicking butt and making the world laugh at Putin in his bunker deep under the Kremlin
But its true.
@@sircatangry5864 it is partly true but we can’t start replacing historical names just because we feel the need to claim other’s achievements. Historical informations must be told by how it was, not how we like it to be by manipulating it.
There a lot of inaccurate information in this video. For example, Battle of Kalka river wasn't just between Halych-Volynia principality and Mongols. There were much more knyaz of other Rus principalities, who participated in battle. For example, the head of Rus coalition was Mstislav the Old, who was slain in battle.

You can call them Ruthenians, Kievan Rus, but Proto-ukrainians? As someone said, there were on dose stepes scithians, jazars, turks, cossaks, tatars, mongols, slavs, nordsmen, even parthians maybe but nothing proto-ukrainian.
Unlike the video and unsucribed the channel.
They could called them just Rus. This is very close to the term which they used for themselves in that time.
They were proto-ukrainian. MOSTLY SAME people as Ukrainian has now.
For some reason when the invasion happened people became obsessed with Ukraine and you can see that in the title. Proto-Ukrainians? That is not even a real term. At this time the Slavs were, roughly, one culture. So Kievan Rus is not Ukraine or Russia, it’s Kievan Rus.
by naming them proto- ukrainians they make a claim those people are ukrainian ancestors and this is pretty much it
@@EvilEgg331 Kievan Rus did not exist, there was Rus, and it was exclusively on the territory of Ukraine, according to ancient chronicles
Will be interesting to learn about the Korean and Indian conquests, topics with little coverage. One question I hope K&G answers is, why the Koreans didn't get the same treatment as the Song dynasty? Both resisted for decades yet the Song got obliterated and the Koreans got a slap on the wrist and essentially treated as if they had initially surrendered and never resisted.
Because Kublai Khan was claiming to be Emperor of China, among his other titles. He can accept the King of Korea as a vassal. But the Zhao family who ruled the Song had to go.
@@JayFLee1 lol then why Kublai Khan didn’t accept his daughters to marry han chinese? Many mongol princesses married korean kings.
@@JayFLee1 Chinese always have excuses and trying to distort fabricate history.
Goryeo was kurgan or son in law country, Mongols saw them as almost familial kin after 30 years of war.
@@JayFLee1 regardless of what they thought about being Chinese or not, their actions were the same everywhere, resist and you get obliterated after defeat. Same across China, Middle East, Eastern Europe, but not Korea. Why?

Ruthenian is a latinized term, we call ourselves Rusyn and there are still many of us today. Mostly immigrated to the USA
Ти не вважаєш себе українцем?
Nobody calls anybody "Rusyn" but Slovaks and Magyars
Most Rusyns still live in their native land, just under the new rebranded name.
"Zorya Halytska", the official press organ of the Supreme Rusyn Council in Lemberg (Lviv):
_"We, the Galician Rusyns, belong to the great Rusyn nation, and consists of 15 million people, out of which two and a half million live in Galicia. Our people were once independent and equal to the most powerful peoples of Europe, had its own written language, own laws and rulers"_
Zorya Halytska, An appeal to the Rusyn people, May 15, 1848. - Lemberg
Omelian Ohonovsky was a professor of the Rusyn language and literature at University of Lemberg. Here is what he wrote in 1886:
_"We are a separate nation and call ourselves Rusyns since the 10th century. The name "Moscow" had become the opposite of the name "Rus" in the 12th century when a separate Duchy of Suzdal had been formed to the north of Rus. And later the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which in the 16th century had become the Tsardom of Muscovy. Our homeland was defined by the name "Rus" until the 17th century, when the Muscovite tsars began to call their lands and also left-bank Ukraine by this name. Thus our homeland lost its name due to the will of strong tsars and was forced to look for another one in order not to disappear without a trace. But all other names meant only a part of our homeland. Such names were "Little Rus" (opposite of Great Rus or Muscovy), "Southern Rus", "The Cossack Hetmanate". The best name is "Ukraine" because it means most of our homeland. That’s why some Rusyn patriots call the whole Rus - Ukraine and therefore the Rusyn language - Ukrainian."_

What about central Asia defended againts the mongols (the first invasion)?

I don't understand butthurt reactions in the comments over calling Ruthenians under the king Danylo proto-Ukrainians. Proto-Belarusians were a part of Lithuania back then. Proto-Russians -- part of Golden Horde as Vladimir-Suzdal Duchy. Proto-Ukrainians were a part of Ruthenian Kingdom. Later that Kingdom was annexed into Polish-Luthuanian Commonwealth and Ukrainian identity was formed in the midst of the Poles and Lithuanians.
Or you don't understand modern meaning of the prefix "proto"? Nowadays, we have come to understand it as "before", rather than "first". Like, proto-Greeks before the Bronze Age were not Greek and didn't call themselves this way. Yet we call them proto-Greeks in the books.
The adds are particularly abrasive in this channel. Otherwise decent content.
I only watched the vid for the fishing…
In all actuality, this is the kind of stuff I know the least about and now I know more. Keep up the good work!
Lol, Rus is also proto-Russian and proto-Belarus. The correct title is "How proto-East Slavs didn't defend themselves against the mongols"!
@@Johann_20 cope
Because russians are the descendens of the mongols who destroy The real Rusia they became white by mixing with The real russians,The ukrainians.
No coments
lol, how Galicia-Volhynia is proto-Russian and proto-Belarusian?
After the fall of the Sassanids ( who fought off the Khazarians during their entire existence) Khazarians became a headache for the Rus people around the Caspian sea . Interestingly the " Rus vikings" were the ones who destroyed the khazar khaganat once and for all .
Actually Khazars were very advanced nation, with pretty well developed trade. The city of Sarkel was big and flourishing city, before Rus razed it to the ground.
@Technocratos That's not what their neighbors believed,.... in fact ,they were considered so " uncivilized ", that th Sassanid Persians built the Derbent Fortifications at the northwestern Caucasian borders of Persia just in order to prevent them from plundering the villiges , ....The Russ Vikings had same problems with the khazars at their mutual southern borders .
They were causing same troubles for the Arab Islamic khalifat that replaced the Sassanid empire .
We even have Roman reports of how khazarian influential people caused corruption in the Roman/ Catholic church.
thank you very much from Kyiv
Fantastic video keep it up you're doing amazing job
Gotta love the Ruzzian sycophants in comments screaming about a reference to Ukrainians. The hardest cope in history.
No it is the hardest correction in history. Ukraine wasn't used at that time. Neither for the people nor for the state.
@@abukafiralalmani The first uses of the term "Ukraine" were in the 12th century to refer to the region, and by the 16th century it was used in official chronicles. By the 20th century terms like "Ruthenian", "Podolian", or "Volhynian" were anachronistic and gave way to "Ukrainian". It was also used to describe the Cossack Hetmanate.
It's a perfectly valid historical term to use in reference to an area and the people living there, unless you're a modern-day Russian revisionist with motive to impose the "Little Russian" epithet that wasn't a thing until long after the development of nationalism. Cope harder.
@vondondolo1582 It was not used as an ethnonym and meant borderland. No need to push your propaganda
Northern Estonia was under Danish rule, not Swedish rule.
Also parts of Estonia weren't under Novgorod rule back then.

The Anglosaxons are proto-USA 😂

Medieval England is proto-Britain. Is it not?
@@andriilink5666 that’s the only one that works if we’re using the proto instead of their ACTUAL NAME because the King Charles is a descendant of William the conqueror which started medieval England
Was the city was called kiev or kyiv back then?
Kiev
I wish you could make a series about the justinian reconquista.
They did
Styling the Rus' as Proto-Ukrainians is just too farfetched the equivalent of this would be calling the Franks proto-Belgians or Seljuks proto-Azerbaijanis lol
He's getting payed my Ukraine government or say this
Ахамату Сила
Great examples, but belgians didn't go on to steal the name "franks". Unlike them, tsardom of muscovy decided to rename themselves after the Rus, thus stealing the name to which they have absolutely zero claim. But, as I see, their propaganda actually works on uneducated degens on the internet ;)
The Belgae were proto-Belgians, not the Gauls conquered by a Germanic king.
that is, language, traditions, culture, faith, democratic system do not mean that Rusyns are Ukrainians?
The Kievan Rus are Ruthenians as much as the Principalities of Novgorod, Chernigov, Smolensk, Vladimir-Suzdal, Pereyaslavl, Polotsk, Galicia-Volhynia, Murom-Razan, Turov and later Tver, Moscow, etc.
Ukrainians on the other hand are a mix of both Ruthenian Ancestory and that of Scythians, Sarmatians, Khazars, Polovtsy (Cumans), Tatars, Circassians and several other cultures who inhabited the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, south of Kiev.
Areas controlled by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after driving out the Mongols of the Golden Horde before being conquered again by Moscow from Poland-Lithuania.
How can you still call yourselves historians after blatantly rewriting history and applying this pseudo terminology. You should be charged for spreading misinformation, it's a disgrace.
There are many things I myself would do for money but compromising my integrity is not one of them.
This is everything I wanted to say or have been trying to
Ukrainians are not a mix. By that logic every nation is a mix. Ukrainians are at least 80% of rus blood with some mix ins which is the case for every nation. You make it sound like ruthenians were only a small part of modern ukraine ancestry when in reality its an overwhelming majority.
@@fungunsun1 First, Mixed Cultures is exactly the logic behind why you do not toy around with non-existent terms like "proto-ukrainian". Composition is everything and misinformation is dangerous.
Second, do not take my words out of context, I stated the impartial, cold, hard facts as they are. The Ruthenian Ancestory is just as important as that of the Pontic-Caspian Steppe cultures.
I did not make it "sound like" anything, you should be very careful with your own rhetoric.
@@viscountwilliammelbry6147 ahahahahahaha
@@viscountwilliammelbry6147 Correction, Ukrainians ARE Ruthenians. That was our ethnonym till the 20th century. We are Slavs mixed with Scythians and others.
Nice one about early Ukraine!!! Thank you K&G!!!
