elections and meritocracy are not an American topic. All this was long before America in the course of the whole history in different forms.

Hi, i am Mongolian 1. Europe was left because it was poor and still in their dark ages also the Khaan died. 2. India was HOT as well as jungle countries like Vietnam and Lao and Mongols could not bare the heat! We however conquered modern day Pakistan which wad more or less India 3. British Empire conquered aboriginal people in North America and other island countries basically did not even have iron weapons by time British possessed gun powder. So i think it’s not fair to compare Mongol and British Empires cuz we basically fought with the civilizations not American Indians who had no iron weapons

Had they not all returned home for a funeral and to select a new leader, nothing would have stopped the Mongols sweeping across Europe. The heavily armoured armies of Eastern Europe proved no match for the lighter, faster Mongols (largely cavalry) and were decimated. It’s fair to say that Europe had not worked out any way to stop them when the Mongols returned east of their own volition.

Fun fact : Mehmed II, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire created a law where a crowned Sultan was required to kill all his male siblings. This is to prevent the possibility of a civil war. He felt that a death of a few royalties was better than the death of millions of Ottoman citizens.

The Steppe is the endless treeless grasslands of Asia. Analogous to the Pampas of South America or the Prairies of North America.

The Mongols fought well in the steppes. Further west were mountains and rugged terrain. Plus, by this moment, they began to have internal strife.

The invasion of Japan failed because the Mongol fleet was scattered and destroyed by a great typhoon. The Japanese called this a "Divine Wind" , or Kamikaze. All history is linked. Loving your reactions.

It's not just power, of course, the status, the wealth, the possibilities that come with the titles are an amazing motivator. But imagine your father is a great leader of thousands of people and huge lands. You are brought up your whole life as a military specialist and by the time you are a teenager hundreds, if not thousands people rely on you too. You are responsible for them as a captain of on the battlefield, as a "prince", as a leader (because your brothers may be idiots).... and that goes for all of these guys. As mentioned at the beggining, merit/ competence plays an extremly important role any of these hierarchies :)

Kurultai is like a senate, high ranking officials of Mongol empire gather here to decide warfare, elections, laws etc.. When great khan dies, kurultai is held to discuss future of Mongol empire. Gunpowder was extensively used by the Mongols, Mongols learned it from the chinese, and it spread to the Europe by the Mongols. If mongols didn't invade europe, europe would have another 500 years to discover gunpowder.

Hi, I'm Mongolian, and Chingis is the real way to call him but it was much easier for the people In the west to just call him Ghengis. That's why they still call him that but the real way is Chingis Khan

14:56 He was a merchant who travelled to China from Venice, at the time, they didn't know of America

This calls for "The Hu" as a background track ... Wolf Totem would be very appropriate. With subtitles, of course ...

kings and generals mongol series is one of their best i would highly recommend it.

Dont worry all you gotta do is put 400 hours into Eu4 and you will have it all down

Genghis Khan was the king of kings. Idol of man. Not revenge. Duty, honour, etiquette, respect and a lesson to all. That bad behaviour does not go unpunished. The slight was also a foolish, short sighted and juvenile/bratty action. It works against weak foes or foes who're in your sphere of influence but a terrible strategy against the God King of Mankind. It sounds silly and over the top, the way i word it, and it is, a bit, but not too much. Genghis Khan was impressively forward thinking and intelligent. He's a fascinating human being. Well worth studying in great detail.

Invading India from the north/north-east is a very difficult feat, there are these massive mountains. Even planes today wont fly over that area.

12:01 No, the Magna Carta was signed by King John in 1215, and Lackland died the following year after an incident in The Wash. 14:55 Highly unlikely.

There were numerous reasons why Mongol invasion of India failed - - India in this era was essentially ruled by the huge empire of Delhi under Khilji dynasty, at the peak of its power in 1290s. Mongols had troubled with invading other large, consolidated empires all the time. - India is surrounded on all three sides by mountain ranges (and the remaining is covered by the sea), which in medieval era were often heavily fortified with castles (and Khilji rulers paid particular attention to them due to constant threat). The dry deserts of eastern Persia and Baluchistan didn't permit any large army movement, and Himalayas are nearly impenetrable even in modern era, let alone back then. This left only Pamir and Gandhar regions in the northwest where any invading Mongol armies could reasonably pass through. And even those had castles (like Attok/अट्टक) followed by the Indus river and its tributaries. Overall, this made supplying any larger invasion army without support of any local princes, much more difficult. - Mongol horse archer cavalry were excellent all around, but climate in India is very different from the ones their steppe horses were accustomed to. Illnesses whittled their cavalry down every time they entered India. They had to bring in Turkish cavalry mercenaries along from other parts of the empire, and that in itself a tedious and expensive task (and Delhi had their own Turkish soldiers). - India had the largest economy on the planet (in a very close competition with China) until mid-18th century. And in this era, when you have a mostly unified empire in Delhi (in contrast to a rich but divided and weak empire in Song China, or even a very divided India two centuries earlier), it means there were some gigantic armies waiting for anyone to just dare to try. - Leadership played a part in this as well. Delhi had a string of ruthless, cruel and yet capable and powerful rulers around the same time as Mongke, Kublai and his successors in Mongolia. By the time Delhi weakened, Mongols themselves had broken apart and were facing rebellions and collapse everywhere. In the end, all Mongol invasions in India failed. If they had occurred a century or two earlier, things might've gone very differently.

The conquest of Japan could have been more dominant from the Mongols if they weren't so unlucky to encounter 2 hurricanes on their 2 invasions, they did in fact fought the Japanese on the closest islands with Korea

Kamikaze "divine wind" The storm that destroyed the massive Mongol invasion fleet off of the coast of Japan.

12:00 maybe it's 1066 that's ringing a bell, when William of Normandy invaded England

There’s an interesting family drama worthy of any soap opera that had major repercussions: Ghengis wife was kidnapped by another tribe, and when he rescued her she was pregnant (May have been raped). So his wife’s first son named Jochi was born under suspicion that he wasn’t really his, although ghengis said he was his legitimate son, most people thought he was not his. This brought problems later because Ghengis divides his empire to his sons, and the sons and their descendants quarreled with each other with Ghengis other sons looking down in Jochi. Instead of uniting, the incident from the past haunted the Mongol empire.

Hello. Nice one for the vid. Dan Carlin's series "wrath of the Kahn's" is very entertaining and well sourced. It's audio only and it's about 6 hours long so might not be great for a reaction vid...(although I'd actually watch that if someone did it, lol, it's very good).

Chinggis Khan is the proper title. Genghis Khan became known because of Persians when they were conquered. The Europeans heard it and it spread there. Moreover, American founders did study Mongolian history and used some of its laws. For example, religious tolerance. Thrist for power occurred because each successor was from a different mother from another nation. So they were heavily influenced by their mother's hate etc. Well for India, they have the highest mountain so it is very difficult xD

Hi SoGal, Khan Noonian Singh (his full name), was a eugenics doctor of 1990s (fictional of course). I would have thought he was of Indian origin, however his birth place was never discussed as far as I remember in any episode? In recent years some have surmised him to be Middle Eastern, however the final draft of his character is said to have mentioned him being Northern Indian possibly Sikh. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

1266 that was not the year of Magna Carta but it was close to the year of Simon of Montfort who, based on the Magna Carta, called together the first real parliament with representation not only of nobles in an upper house but also free men in a house of common(ers).

European was not formidable for Mongols infact they already defeated best army in Europe at that time...

I really recommend Kings and Generals (especially Mongols: Genghis to Kublai Documentary), as they go in depth for the empire, this is more of a summary. They have many in-depth and well-researched episodes for the Mongols, and the art is very high quality for being just a KZfaq channel. For the Jin invasion, Chinggis was leaving as a sickness had spread in his camp with his first siege of Zhongdu (modern-day Beijing), but a messenger told him the Jin were moving south to the new capital, in opposition to a peace treaty made recently before leaving (to pay tribute and be a vassal). This led the Mongols to come back and destroy Zhongdu because of the blatant breaking of the treaty. There are also other channels as well that are great.

As for the pronunciation Chingis/Ghengis ... you're an English speaking person! You should have an idea and first hand experience of brutalizing foreign words, changing them relentlessly to what you think they should be pronounced like without bothering how they are actually pronounced. I still maintain that the Romans left Britain because of how the natives mangled their beautiful language so that they couldn't take it any more. It also explains the estrangement between England and France. The French could never forgive the English for what they did to their language. ;) But, on a more serious note: It's always extremely difficult to try to write down in a notation meant for a different language sounds in a foreign language that have no equivalent in your own. And a Mongolian pronouncing Chingis will *not* quite sound like the gentleman in the video. So they tried their best. And (in this case) were actually not that much off. I have South-African neighbors. When they speak in their native tongue, I'd be completely clueless on how to turn most of what I hear into words.

you were thinking of 1066

British conquered weaker countries based on the weapons. Mongols conquered powerful countries or states in their time period. That is the difference!

It is heavily theorized that the Black Death, the Bubonic plague, came from Central Asia or East Asia, as the first definitive case was on Crimea. Crimea was part of the edge of where the Mongol empire had reached in Europe. It is said that it likely travelled with the Mongol army of Djanibek Khan (part of an even more fractured Mongol Empire, and kind of being its own entity) , who would catapult the corpses of the sick into a besieged city on the Crimean Peninsula.

I wouldn’t say mongol armies weren’t affective at beating Chinese armies it was the very opposite. It was that they originally had trouble seizing cities.

As an American, you should know a little about your history. Christopher Columbus is considered the discoverer of America, from 1492, i.e. he lived a good 200 years later. Marco Polo was a merchant who lived in the Far East for 20 years, so he became an explorer

Mongals were defeated by Mughal Empire by Alaud-din khalji in India

They attacked the Japanese with a huge fleet, but this typhoon scattered the fleet. The Japanese called this the Divine Wind "Kamikaze".

Funny thing Thomas Jefferson had a French copy of Genghis biography. So yea there’s the tie to ancient Mongolia.

Subotai (or Sudeguei) was a formidable general but, at least, during the European campaign, know as The Golden Horde, was officially subordinate to Batu Khan, grandson of Gengis.

Others have answered your points below: steppes are the Asian prairies. The mongol invasion fleet sent to Japan was pretty flimsy, barely up to the job and it was destroyed by a typhoon, which the Japanese were grateful for and named the Divine Wind. A name they applied to their suicide pilots in WWII. India was protected from the Mongols to the north by the Himalayan mountain range. Marco Polo never went to the Americas. This was all pre- columbus. He wrote about his travels years after he did them, while languishing in a prison. Some of what he wrote was fantastical, other parts can be verified. So there is doubt about the veracity of what he actually did and saw, or was it hearsay he was recounting. Magna Carta when King John was forced to sign concessions to his nobility, was 1215. The mongol expansion began in1206 according to the video. A tad earlier, though still king John. His son Henry III was having troubles with one of his nobles, Simon de Montfort in 1264/5. Another date mentioned in the vid. Western Europe wasn't affected by the Mongols, but it had an affect on the fighting for control of the holy land between Christians and moslems. It converted a bi-partisan conflict into a three way fight. Added complications.

May I recommend a book that was on the best seller list for a decade. It is called Genghis Khan and the making of the modern world. Best history book I have ever read. The Mongols were incredible. They went from illiterate nomads to the most advanced people on earth within 70 years. Their prowess in battle remains unprecedented. They wore no coverings on their backs. The thought being if you turned your back, you deserved to be unprotected.

British empire didn’t last that long but they had like 400 million people at its height and 26 km of land plus England or something like that And then debt ruined them

If you wanna know more about Genghis Khan, extra credits made a video series about him which you could react to

Khan means king

I suppose you can read Genghis as Chinghiz - like as Ge for General which is quite not bad but nobody on West could tell how to really pronounce it so because of that West world mispronounced it completely.

Looking forward to a years time when you are a history buff

We call him not Genghis but Chinghis. Chinghis is Temuujin’s tittle which means the Universal Or Oceanic Ruler. Khan means Emperor. Thank you for your reaction. If you need to find out more about Mongolian Empire Write email to altngrl@yahoo.com. I will try to help you. Thanks!

Tuoba Liwei (Chinese: 拓拔力微; pinyin: Tuòbá Lìwéi) was the first leader of the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, in 219-277. He was the ancestor of the future Northern Wei Dynasty and was thus posthumously honored as Emperor Shenyuan, with the temple name Shizu. Later, Emperor Wen of Western Wei changed his temple name to Taizu. yet Youd think I was of African origin 94th great-grandfather The distribution of the Xianbei people ranged from present day Northeast China to Mongolia, and the Tuoba were one of the largest clans among the western Xianbei, ranging from present day Shanxi province and westward and northwestward. They established the state of Dai from 310 to 376 AD[22] and ruled as the Northern Wei from 386 to 536. The Tuoba states of Dai and Northern Wei also claimed to possess the quality of earth in the Chinese Wu Xing theory. All the chieftains of the Tuoba were revered as emperors in the Book of Wei and the History of the Northern Dynasties.

Steppes are like the prairies.

You need to watch kings and generals if you’d like to go in depth into the conquest and life of people or people’s in history.

The Mongol empire: Mongolia🇲🇳, Halimag "Oirad" Mongol, Buriad Mongol, South Mongolia, Deed Mongol, Hazara Mongol (Altai, Tuva Yakut). We are all Mongols

Mongols empires size might be smaller than British but take into fact that British only “colonized” very poor and low technology countries while mongols invaded the Chinese that had better technology than all of world and invaded the Persian empire and mongol empire lasted more than British empire

U can understand how humans cruel. if they have power. The only ruler

1: Chinggis and Genghis are the same name in different languages kind like how English Katherine and Russian Ekaterina 2: horses were ineffectuve against the chinese mainly bc they had forts which horses would not do anything against, if the chinese were fool enough to challenge the mongols in open areas generally they got hammered because horses are 600lbs running machines with elite archers on their backs 3: the reason 1266 sounds familiar might be the date 1066 which is when the normans invaded england

i am Mongolian. And we called Chinggis khaan

The spirits are, as far as I know not dead, only their former bodies...

Mongolia is the largest land empire

The Mongols and their other relatives during this period were similar to the highly trained Sioux or Apaches. And all their lands were called Wild Field. Steppes and deserts in a quarter of Eurasia.

They tried to conquer India more than 3 times but failed everytimes and even lose lands to us Did tou really taught Conquering India is easy History videos in English don't give explanation in detail

I am a mongolian and i can say that i luv this

White people be like: Nope, can’t pronounce that. You’ll be Genghis from now on.

Yes..very good. The Mongols created what we call, capitalism. And thanks for the laugh..The Europeans were to tough for the Mongols...

"The egos involved are just incredible" - Well said!

Marco Polo was way before we found America. 🤔

he is called genghis cause in french ge is pronouce like je so his name in west shall be more like jenghis which sound like how he is named in asia. and btw kh is not pronouced k but some thing like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_velar_fricative

And the Mongols killed so many people that due to a lack of agriculture forests grew back :)

America doesn't promote based on merit. It promotes and punishes based on skin color. Lets be honest.

What you refuse to recognise is in a feudal society if you didn't show strength and the ability to hold territory you would be seen as weak and conquered pretty quickly. Egos may have been at play, but also simple survival and foresight. It's the same diplomacy done today, show weakness and somebody attacks. You are talking about American values 500 years before America (the country) existed. These are Mongol values, that you seem to believe America adopted. It's very arrogant to consider it an American value when you are looking centuries before it even existed.

Britian empire is the biggest but us mongols got they're empire long before the british

In Germany we call him Dschingis Khan

I highly recommend the excellent Conqueror series by Conn Iggulden - it's historical fiction, but each book has a great appendix that outlines how he changed known historical fact in favour of pacing etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conqueror_(novel_series)

India had a humid climate. The Mongol bows became soft and the Mongol warrriors who were used to the north got sick in the humid climate

Tengri is not a god, it's just what we call a sky (Тэнгэр). It's worshiping of Sky. and It's Chingis, mongolians never called him Ghengis and it's hard to write it like that lol.

Hey if you want an in-depth story on the Mongols watch the one from the channel Kings & Generals

you know why we started war? because we needed more space for the family and expanded and then grown more and more soo thats why 🙃 also this kinda hurtfull for me because im 🇲🇳

The great Chinggis Khaan of Mongol empire.🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳

React to what if the British Empire reunited(by the channel RealLifeLore) and the Falklands war(by oversimplified) which was a war between Britain and Argentina

No karen, bubonic plague didn't come from china

What ! ,you dont know , your own history, you have a system that's based on a hierarchy, Money speaks in America, to think differently is a sign of looking around with your eyes closed . Or blinkerd.

The Mongols invaded Japan by sticking a metric ass-load of people onto THOUSANDS of ships. Those ships got typhoon'd and sank.

Hey i am from mongolia

If you want a more in depth story of genghis khan then watch extra history.

Goryeo(korea) never surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty(Mongol Empire). It is unequal, but it has only signed a treaty of mutual friendship. The Goryeo and Yan Dynasty were influenced by each other, not unilaterally controlled. King Goryeo had the right to elect the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. War between Goryeo (Korea) and Mongolia 1st invasion: Date: August 1231-March 1232 30,000 Mongolian troops invaded. Goryeo succeeded in defending an important castle and bound half of the soldiers, but the capital was besieged, sending the royal family hostages and signing a peace treaty. 2nd invasion Date: August 1232-December 1232 Goryeo moved the palace to the island for war against Mongolia, and Mongolia invaded again. Mongolia could not properly occupy a single castle, and the commander-in-chief was killed in battle and retreated. 3rd invasion Date: July 1235-April 1239 When the Geum Dynasty fell in 1234, it attacked Goryeo. Mongolia lost several defeats, devastating Goryeo territory over four years and inflicting enormous damage. Eventually, in the winter of 1238, the Goryeo court proposed Ganghwa to Mongolia, and Mongolia also withdrew in the spring of 1239 on condition of Goryeo Gojong's entrance. But didn't fulfill the promise 4th invasion Date: July 1247-March 1248 Due to the short period, there was no significant damage, and the Mongolian emperor died and withdrew. 5th invasion Date: July 1253-January 1254 It came down to the central part of the Korean peninsula, but was withdrawn without capturing Chungju, an important adult. 6th invasion Date: July 1254-December 1254 The Mongolian army lost all three major siege battles and withdrew. However, the Mongol army plundered severely and captured 200,000 people, causing great damage. 7th Invasion-Mongolia's Amphibious Operation Date: September 1255-June 1256 The Mongolian army won one battle, but lost six battles and withdrew. 8th invasion Date: May 1257-October 1257 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 9th invasion Date: April 1258-March 1259 Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship. 1259 Goryeo Prince meets and discusses with Kublai, and Goryeo and Mongolia conclude a peace agreement, although they are unequal. Mongolia invaded 9 times, but each time they were defeated, they knew it was impossible to conquer Goryeo. Mongolian emperor Kublai made six promises and said he would not interfere with Goryeo. The clothes and hats worn on the head do not need to be changed according to the customs of Goryeo Envoys are banned from anything other than those sent by the Yuan court. Return to the capital can be adjusted in time at Goryeojeong. The troops withdrew in the fall. All of the Official from Mongolia are withdrawn. Those who volunteered to stay in Mongolia are investigated and returned. After the discussion, Prince Goryeo asked Kublai to become son-in-law. Afterwards, the kings of Goryeo became son-in-law of Kublai and his descendants and had the right to elect the emperor. The Mongolian emperor was able to replace the son-in-law, King Goryeo, but due to Kublai's promise, he could not interfere with anything in Goryeo. Mongolia could not occupy Goryeo and only signed a peace treaty. The Mongol emperor was able to replace the king of Goryeo, but he could not easily replace the king of Goryeo, an important member of the imperial family.

Steps is the birthplace of aryan race..the same aryan race that became greeks and indians. It is lockated south of russia.

Can you please react to Autonomous Regions of Spain by Geography Now, it's pretty interesting

He tried to not India but Indonesia.

Read the book STORM FROM THE EAST!!! All about the rise of the mongol empire!! The british empire was the largest in land area and people under its rule !!

I belive that a problem with conquering India is strictly geographical- they need to pass through Himalayas, what is hell of a messy thing. And about modern Mongolia- well, after Russia had its own revolution, communism was bring to Mongolia (even tho there was a crazy russian-german guy named Ungern-Sternberg who bring back Chans for the throne for a short time). In that time, early twenties of XX century, huge amount of male population was closed in monastery, so Mongolia have big problem with demographics and economy. Communists changed that by destroying monasteries (and de facto Mongolian culture) and killing ton of people. I really don't know much about todays Mongolia, but there is little population living in this country with about 1/3 of it, only in capital city of Ulan Bataar

Yeah in asia they call it chingis haan I know that bcoz im mongolian

it is the Mongol empire, not Mongolian empire. the word “mongolian” is a recent fabrication by lazy people. the so called “Mongolians” were always referred to as the Mongols throughout the history. it’s like the Huns - no one calls them the Hunnese or Hunnish.

i am mongollia chings khan name temujin

Fun fact: Genghis Khan is considered the common ancestor for modern day Asia, the European equivalent being someone known as Charles Martel (very interesting topic )

I'm a mongolian and bruh genghis and Khan means both king XD

U have to call him the great khan.

im mongolian

quarantine make u this xD

Not all are American values.

Marco Polo Lived in late 13 century, 12XX, so he did certainly DID NOT go to the Americas :)

It is not mongolian empire it is mongol empire do not dump my country

*Genghis empire* can't invade India because of the *Indian elephant army* same as *Alexander the great* who failed to invade *India.* And. Second wave of the Genghis empire was ineffective because of Himalayan ranges.
