This chapter will focus on his taking over the power in Central Asia and Iran, and the war against the Khan of the Golden Horde Toqtamish with descriptions of the battles of Terek and Kondurcha River. Timur will be back for more...

@@josephmcbloggs8447 Soviets did it for research, and were "cursed" by operation Barbarossa.
Operation Barbarossa was named after an Ottoman Admiral if I am not mistaken.
When in Russia, his army was nearly starving. Timur organised a massive hunt and followed Genghis Khan's example of forming a massive circle and tightening it so that all the wild animals would be trapped and killed easily.
that's actually how wolves hunt. This tactic used in battles as well by Turks and Mongols.
Turks call it "Kurt Kapanı" which we can translate to "Wolf Trap"
@@onurcavusoglu1689 The Mongols used these hunts to practice their warfare. They visualised enemy armies as wild animals. Their livestock herding also helped with warfare and strategy. Believe or not but their tactics were formed from their mundane nomadic lifestyle. From what I heard cutting a man's throat is not so different from cutting a sheep's ones.
@@grimgoreironhide9985 now when you say from what you heard, i hope you mean were told 😅
@@grimgoreironhide9985 bruh I'm Turkish they teach this stuff in 5th grade
I'm surprised at how competent a commander Toqtamish was. I'd always assumed that, due to how devastating Timur's victory over him was, he must've been only mediocre. But all his battles with Timur were very well fought, and it could've gone either way - it seems like Toqtamish would've been the great power of the time had Timur not risen to power (say, had he died from his wounds when young).

7:53 After converting to islam , Bagrat convinced Timur to give him an army to convert the rest of Georgia, but actually warned his sons about the coming army, which he led into a trap and slaughtered. Saying that Timur was angered is an understatement, as he attacked Georgia a further seven times between 1387-1403, causing irreperable damage and contributing to the kingdom's final demise.
not true, Timur raped and devastated georgia, he also couldve converted whole georgia without the need of more troops. he got the skill to raise terror in the people
It was so unnecessary i even heard many georgian historical cities and towns were torched and destroyed
lands sowed with salt, thousands upon thousands slaughtered
they should have just bent the knee to be honest... wasnt worth that mess
they should have braved the Timur storm
which would have collapsed after his death and similar to uzbeks, georgians could have pushed out and retaken lost cities even expanding further azerbaijan region as timurids were in freefall after the death of shah rukh
and they would have done all this with there state still in tact and healthy
Damn, georgia are poland of middle east
@@Eabokor1 Unnecessary mass murder in Georgia? That was Timur's MO when dealing with anyone after a time. He sacked Baghdad, killing everyone but artisans, which he sent back. He went on a killing spree in Damascus, citing things a thousand years before during Umayyad dynasty, and the killing of Mohamed's sons, etc - as the reason for his 1000 year late massacre.... Needless? Yeah, that covers it.
It wasn't even about conversions really; he once hit an Islamic town, and ordered every soldier to collect 200 human heads and return. They ran out of men to kill... So they killed all the campaign's prisoners. And that still wasn't enough, so they killed some of their own women... Yeah, a psychopath doesn't begin to describe it.
But yeah, after the betrayal going on in Georgia; he felt like doing much more of the same up there too. He was just not the type of person you wanted to get on the bad side with, especially if you weren't far enough away with some sort of super army. Similar to Genghis in that way.
@ its true that we gave timur hardest time, but we were devastated. also timurs goal in georgia was converting georgians which he ultimately failed. at and timur recognised king george as christian king. for us its equal to victory
When I was like 10 years old. My friend said his grandfather told him about some king who used to go everywhere with another king locked in a cage like a parrot.

Locked in a cage like a parrot,while his wife was forced to serve Amir Timur naked.
Tasin Al-Hassan that is a lie. I am Turk from Kyrgyzstan. Temur never played someone’s wife. Yes it’s true that he kept Bayazid in cage while still giving him a respect he deserved.

It’s amazing how much an empire can expand just using horses and bows, they were definitely a force to reckon with. Thanks Kings
@eualadindeal 😂😂😂😂
@@OljeiKhan Nomadic horse archers just turned into gunpowder empires. They were very effective at holding their own against European and Ottoman armies. However, eventually cannons and drilling became much more important. No none Western power would ever field large quantities of drilled armies that march in formation, that would be the antithesis of noble warfare. They also didn't have the technology and expertise to produce high quality cannons. So by the 17th century and onwards, the Russians, with their newly Westernized armies, began taking over practically all of the Eurasian plains.
@eualadindeal until firearms put an end to it
@eualadindeal crossbows and firearms were not invented to counter plate armor, as they existed before plate armor could have been developed. One could at most say that they were PERFECTED to counter armor, but not INVENTED to counter it
The steppes, desert and tundra are vast areas of containing nothing much to oppose a massive horde. Perfect place for a massive cavalry army.
Timur already 60 years old and hus career was just starting
Age ain't nothing but a number when it comes to career building. Timur has immense drive and ambition.

Personally as a military commander I would rate Timur a little higher than Gingis Khan, on the account that he beat tougher and extremely capable opponents. He decisively beat two great military minds of his time, who themselves would have been the greatest of an era if it weren't for him. The two being Tokhtamysh and Bayezid the Thunderbot.
Do you know who his generals were?
Actually he was best negotiator of his time. He made allies out of his worst enemies. In his book he says only 1 in 10 conflicts he revolved using military power.
@@user-uc7qb1su4e his generals were the same as golden horde’s ones
@@spotdark7476 Are there any names or something? There’s such a lack of information on the Timurid Empire
@@user-uc7qb1su4e there’s tons of information
"The core of Timur's armies during his career were the Chagatai Khanite. Skilled horse archers and cavalry, supplemented by subject peoples. Overtime he replaced tribal leaders with family and followers. Keeping his army constantly on campaign made it difficult for his generals to develop alternative power bases or conspire against him. The key to Timurid military success was Timur himself. Not just a phenomenal tactician, Timur thoroughly prepared for each campaign and gather all possible intelligence on the weakness of his enemies. He led every campaign, rarely delegating power, keeping his troops loyal through rich plunder and the provinces loyal through fear"
Sounds like what really made Timur so success was going old school Mongolian. Using the very same strategies, military organization and leadership that made the great Genghis so successful in the first place. If the Mongols ever had a second coming of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane came the closest to being worthy of the great Khan's mantle.
With the exception of delegating power. Genghis often delegated power or allowed his generals to conduct whole campaigns.
No Genghis Khan never even used that good tactics against anyone and he overpowered everyone with army and Cavalry.
Timur on the other hand was legit asshole cuz he was Mongol but a man of culture and tech too....he used very ingenious techniques to destroy cities.
unlike his predecessor Timir actively raped well defended cities and one time he burnt the supporting structure of walls to crumble them and then next time he had Persian built 100's of catapults for him and take the city old fashioned way.
He was best of both worlds and he even defeated ottoman army with Guns and cannons.....why?
He actively used them in battlefield....his ability to adapt and being man of both worlds along with his intelligence was his super power.
If Kings and General made serious out of this.......you will see why people feared him.
@@UsmanSiddiq1 Mongols armies used gunpowder weapons from their Chinese conquest as early as the 13th century....Genghis armies traveled with engineers from china and other subject peoples to build siege equipment on the fly...so walled cities weren't protected as early as his time.
@@MrCarlosperez666 They didn't travelled with engineers from China and their fire arrows were not that effective anyway.
They have trouble dealing with walled cities and if you don't know it then your knowledge of mongols is limited at best..
@@UsmanSiddiq1Ruy Gonzalez De Clavijo, a Spanish nobleman who visited Timur's palace in Samarkand as an ambassador, stated in his book "The Life of Timur and Travels from Cadiz to Samarkand",
that Timur came from a noble generation of Turkic immigrants who boasted of their ancestry.
While Richard Bulliet says Barlas has nothing to do with the Mongols, [15] René Grousset [16] argues that Timur's origins are based on Genghis Khan in books written during his time, whereas Timur has no relation to the Mongols and says Timur is a Turk..
Not only a brilliant (undefeated) military tactician, Timur was regarded as an intellectual and is credited as the inventor of Tamerlane chess - quite a grand historical figure!
Timur did all of his major campaigns in the last 10-15 years of his life. That's Alexander the Great style speed!
But His Empire Didn't Last long enough... He Was a True Killer Unlike Ottoman Empire who lasted 600 years Even their Defeat in Ankara

Read my comment again dumbass. When did i ever say Timur is Mongol? I'm just pointing out how the fuck is his race relevant to the original comment.
I would very much like a video on how the Mongols and their descendants were able to control such vast territories, how they managed to find the manpower for their conquests as their power bases were in historically thinly populated areas and how they managed to campaign from China all the way to Europe and India. It must have been a real challenge to supply a large army on such journeys.
Also this just goes to show that the Timurids need even better missions in EU4 and they really should start as a horde again.
@@A_I_N_P don't forget the feint retreat. they where masters of this tactic.
@@A_I_N_P They often combined all their soldiers into one concentrated hammer and punched through. They weren't always outnumbered. On the contrary they were like a large fish that could not be caught in a net and easily made mince-meat out of reserved badly trained low moral armies that they did encounter.
Mongol only comprises 10-30% of khan army. Most of them are chinese and turkic tribes
The Mongol army was like a snowbal, the more they conquer the bigger it became. Most of them were Turkic, Chinese and Persians.
EUIV starts in 1444. Timurids were far from a horde at that point.
Having a borring day until this beauty
Timur's mausoleum in Samarkand is an amazing place. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Timur's army upkeep was incredibly high so he had to conquer whole regions with just one full stack army.

Little hint: the map is a bit faulty: the Aral Sea was to that point still one "united" part of water, and not like in this map two parts. It only dried up to that state in the last 50 years. But not a big deal, still high quality, keep it up :)
@@chucklynch6523 well, actually no: the Aral-sea started to disappear by 1989, not out of soviet mismanagement, but unrestricted use of the water for the farming of cotton, etc. by opening the farming market for private use.

Toqtamish named "Al-Tutmash or Altamash" in Arabic was one of the very pious and righteous rulers in Islamic history.

@@guerreirodaliberdade7800then dude is not legit. what is he doing on the chagadai throne. it should be chagadai's line.
Shut up. Ethnic origin cannot be changed via culture. @guerreirodaliberdade7800
The campaign in the Age of Empires 2 DE it's a good one and relates to the rise of Tamerlane and his dealings with Toqtamish
Finally. Been waiting for one on him.
This channel is growing , well it deserves it
Thanks Kings and Generals for making this video about Timur,Founder and Emir of the Timurid Empire.
Timur is Turkic. but you don't want to accept it. Because you hate Turks and you don't want to admit that such legendary personalities have a Turkic education, that they are Turkish and live for Turkic.
Thank you, very nice video. It is interesting why Timur did not want to or could not allow his subordinate commanders to be more independent, like Chingis khan when he sent Dzhebe and Subedey on an independent mission. Maybe because Timur led all his campaigns himself his empire started to collapse immediately after his death despite all his victories against powerful enemies.
This video was amazing!
Loving it!
Carry on sir.
This man had understood everything !
He deserves more fame in history than he actually have somewhere, although he is well known by passionate people ofc.
That’s a good content 👌
Just discovered this channel! Just great content!
Nice name 😉

@@guilhermefernandes6067 bro Timur is turkic work. and timur mean "iron"
Timur really hardworking man., going to west to east to south to north and repeat..
I am from Samarkand. Thanks to our western friends modern people of Timurid Empire are getting to know their history more as Russians after invading our land made us believe that we are not who we are.
@USA USA I am half Arab and half Uzbek from Uzbekistan.
Great videos!
One tiny detail about this one: by that date Lake Aral should be in one piece.
Nothing like a Kings and Generals video at 11pm.
Still dropped everything and watched the video 😝😏😜
Timur was a Turkic origin making a false claim to be mongol in order to take all land which was once part of mangol empire.
thats an anecdote not real evidence
That's right bro. Even when we uzbeks lived during Soviet Union. We tried to become Russian in order to achieve any privilege and not being discriminated as secondary people in the country. The same thing did Temurids.
@@Billighftsk7350 I'm sorry, but that's a bullshit: Soviet Unioin was a Positive Discrimination Empire: the only people to be treated as second-class citizens were Russians, while all the minorities have got multiple privilege: quotas in universities and at high-tier jobs, massive support of 'national culture' for all republics except RSFSR and constant budget influsions - Soviet goverment milked Russia dry to provide extra money to feed other republics.
@@sergelengerelmaa2450 He means racially. He was an upstart Turk who married himself to the mongol dynasty for power. He's politically mongol though, there's no refuting that. Like how a Norman could be considered a Frenchmen.
He was mongol
Tamerlane: exists
Georgia: awwww shit here we go again...
Thank you for all Kings and Generals
YES A VIDEO UNDER 20 MINS LETS GOOO
The greatest general of the medieval era, in my opinion. No one else has a record like his, against so many diverse enemies over such a large area.
one of the greatest generals in history of mankind
Very good video
12:30 Timur was dealing with coalitions before it was cool.
Napoleon be like:Did someone say coalition?
Timur is Turkic. but you don't want to accept it. Because you hate Turks and you don't want to admit that such legendary personalities have a Turkic education, that they are Turkish and live for Turkic.
@@_berat.ugur_3089 turkish and turkic are different
Timur attacked toqtamish to stop the coalitions like a pro eu4 player
Timur destruction of Golden horde was the real reason the Rus to take independence
Timur so badass Ankara Airport is called Esenboga after one of his generals, even though ottomans lost the war.
🙄why would you guys use their even though they are cruel
Gengis khan, the Mongol Empire, the sucess and failed campaigns, the rupture of the empire and the legacy ...
All this knowledge is now possible, congrats and continue wih your excellent work ...
The people that made the VIKING SERIES should do one about the mongols...
Pretty sure would be amazing ...
Timur was turk
Agree
Finally someone covers this legend
