yes

Hope you do a series about the first punic wars, i am very fascinated by the naval battles of that wars and actually for me, it's more interesting.

thank you for what you do i love your channel and video's

I love your hard work. RESPECT

İts brilliant idea to upload a whole story video before Cannae battle so people can understand it better an relate. Also, it's always a joy to watch Hannibal that we all admire .. Thanks K&G for making our days!

But Drew’s reaction (I also watched on his channel)

Can't wait for the oversimplified version of that

lol facts

maybe i'm wrong, but from what i know he didn't carry the war at all, he win battle, but doesn't know how to win a war

@@gizel4376 He systematically massacred 20% of Rome’s adult male population in the first few years he was in Italy and dominated the peninsula for 15 more years winning almost every single engagement. Rome was definitely at his mercy for a while until they regained manpower from their allies and attacked Spain.

@@ajmerthethy6724 Rome was always destined to win, carthaginian Victory would have negative effects on European development

@@TEUTONIC__ORDER699 no it wasn't, those in charge of Carthage refused to provide Hannibal with siege weapons cause they were afraid he was gonna proclaim himself king of Carthage and Rome. Nd where do u get the idea that Carthage would've hindered european progress🤣

Caesar and Auralien too in terms of how they solidified changes to the military in their lifetimes and used those changes to maximum effect. And don't forget the Samnites! If Alexander had invaded Italy instead of Persia, he would have been up against two Central Italian military states that could weather his onslaught and are more likely to team up against the foreign Greeks. Hannibal did better than anyone other than Romans themselves, but Italy became a warzone when Rome and Samnium started fighting 120 yesrs before he arrived. Whoever came out on top was gonna dominate. Even by the Late Republic the Samnites fought the Senate and Sulla and they weren't pushovers. They just didnt want to fight en masse for a foreigner. To them that was worse than bowing to Rome.

Rome??

@@andreasyung78 Yes, Rome. By the time he left, the Roman army was poised to take over Europe. They learned from Hannibal the most advanced offence in the ancient world and how to defend against the offenses he introduced to them and avoid traps they were blind to before Hannibal arrived. Proof is, when Rome attacked Carthage, Scippio used Hannibal's tactics offensively and knew how to neutralize the elephant charge that was so effective when Hannibal first arrived on the Italian peninsula. Above all else, the Romans were adaptive so defeating them without destroying them was a mistake. Hannibal did not have the means to capture Rome the city, so they just kept learning lessons until he was depleted.

Unfortunately it was I who failed to learn from my mistakes

​@@geordiejones5618I agree with both of these, but what about marian as well? The reforms were a massive part of the legions becoming what they became.

Stinky!

This is why Lebanese are made of Iron

respect for sacking Saguntum, i'm not racist, but saguntumian are an exeption

@@clevelandwilliams5922 first of all Lebanese never existed at that time. Carthage is based in modern Tunisia today. Carthage was founded by the princess Elissa(dido) which was Phoenician with that I agree because she run away from her brother who killed her husband and took the power, but Phoenicia In now a days Lebanon fall to Babylonia and Carthage🇹🇳 continued. And Hannibal born 600 years later he may have Phoenician ancestry but he never associated himself with them. On that 600 years Phoenician got mixed with berbers he was Phoenician berber o probably got only 2% Phoenician on him but they were speaking Punic language. He was Phoenician Berber just like Tunisians are arabised today. So Hannibal is 🇹🇳

He unified north Africans glory to North africa long live king Hannibal ❤

lol

Rip the Romans

Truer words have never been spoken

But the flanks get you killed

Hannibal won almost every single confrontation at a tactical level. He lost at a strategic level. Long routes, made severely insecure by the Romans, having to either bribe or fight his way through a large swath of land made insecure by the Gauls, waging war all over Italy's outskirts but never close to Rome, all this wore him down. In fact, even if the Romans lost the battle of Trebia, depriving Hannibal of his war elephants could be seen as a strategic victory for Rome. Whereas the final Roman attack was short, straight to Carthage's heart, over the direct sea route. Hannibal should have read Sun Tzu: a capable general wins a war that is already won. Only a fool wins spectacular battles.

Me too, had the war ended after cannae, it would have been like a fairy tale co!e true

We all feel the same

WTF Roman victory is sad end for you ?

Thanks guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.

@@michaldohnal7028 It's not about Rome, it's the fact that Carthage didn't view him like a hero. Some from aristocracy asked romans to get rid of him. Like Scipio, they did everything for their states and in return they become outcasts. He could not even die from old age, because romans hunted him and he drink poison by hiself to not get capture. (short story) Not to mention that a great culture like Carthage got wiped out. Isn't this an even more sad ending?

I love how they detail the video

@Name Name hes pretty good considering how good his videos are, and hes got a good voice.

@Name Name The battle of Nicopolis is a 2 part episode, its a good video I would say.

I do believe they all have added on videos together. Suggest checking out EpicHistory channel covers more modern conflicts.

Trust just thought about that been rewatching all 3 channels videos Kings & Generals at the top but this channel in my opinion is catching up really well. Well done 👍

Haha, yeah, I mean someone MUST'VE thought that as they were wading through FREEZING water in a the middle of a snow storm.

He didn't have SimpliSafe either, that would warn him about treacherous Bithynian kings.

Just like you at Waterloo?

Nah, Hannibal was just like: "Who needs the 2nd Punic war when you got World of Tanks?!"

@Sufyan Muhammad Great advice 😂

HistoryMarche Sounds great be looking forward to it

I mean hannibal yes.Spartacus no. lol he got crushed also it was the republic at this time

Eh Spartacus was crushed as soon as Rome sent its consuls after him where as Hannibal really had them on the ropes and for some reason let them off.

@@albertocruz5032 hannibal had to withdraw to defend carthage, taking Rome but losing carthage would have been a bit of a pyrrhic victory

Carthage is in Africa tho?

@@hermitguy102They would’ve ruled the west.

​@WarriorofChrist612 at a minimum they would have ruled Gaul, Italy and been a sphere to Macedon, yet we have no idea how they could have fated against the selucids or the Egyptians. Expecially with their type of army composition and use of phalanx formations, I feel they would have never made it past them or past Greece. Personal opinion

@@SuchDoge4242 They had diverse array of army composition due to their mercenary tradition which gives them an advantage in unpredictability. But mercenaries are not particularly loyal and will rebel at times or switch sides. Carthage’s success is based on how much money they have to fund their mercenaries.

@WarriorofChrist612 even with a diverse array look at any historical sources on their battle tactics. They were huge fans on heavy phalanx in the middle covered by their Gaul and numidian mercenaries, but in plain comparison they were much more flexible than say Macedon, I just still don't see them in a pitched battle being able to over come the steel wall that was a Macedonian phalanx. I do agree with your statement but excluding the money factor and just think battle field tactic, could Carthage without hannibal manage to beat a empire like Egypt or Macedon or the selucid empire.

"I dare say it will be' quite a feet....even for the great Hannibal Barca"

You should have told it to Antioch 😅

I watched this before oversimplified came out with his videos. They are both great in their own ways

I missed the part where they said Hannibal Barack was black after all Carthage is an Africa.... He's also in the Bible fighting for Debra in the Book of judges....most of the storys in the bible arent that old. In the bible ... "the Pilot of Rome" is actually Pontius Pilate (the Caesar) Once you know who everyone is ...you can actually cross reference it with history.... For example... Revelation 6:8 ( the pale horse) is the prophecy of Christopher Columbus coming to the fourth part of the Earth (AKA North America) They took the names out of the Bible and replaced them with titles....like " the Queen of Sheba".....her name in history is Bilquis.... And the kingdom of Sheba was in East Ethiopia

@@davenalford6956 North Africans aren’t always black, particularly in the ancient era when there was heavy colonization by other Mediterranean peoples, and the wide range of Berbers who lived in North Africa. The Numidians in particular were more likely olive skinned whites who looked more like Romans than what you’d think of when you think “African.”

@@davenalford6956 first of all it's Hannibal Barca, not Barack. Secondly, Carthage was defended from Phonecia in the Middle East, and even today most Tunisians are not black, but are more Arab, similar to Egypt today. Hannibal being part of the Carthaginian nobility means he was probably of Phonecia decent and thus more Arab in complexion, not black.

@@Danymok Carthage is now called Tunisia (North Africa) the Middle East didn't exist until 1947 - When the League of Nations gave someone some land that didn't belong to them. And you might want to double-check everything you said in your comment history has been completely whitewashed and flipped upside down along with the maps.

Yep terrible tactics

@@jigzonyt517 Like comments said before, Hannibal really carried the war. Carthage would've been crushed quickly without his leadership

@@theofficialsikris Very underrated comment 😂😂

Lol

Yeah but Carthage was part of the Phoenician empire and Rome killed most of the people in Carthage. you might not be of the same lineage

not me :) rome forever!

It's unlikely that Carthaginians were of the same stock as modern Tunisians. Just as ancient Egyptians are very different to modern Egyptians

@@vonn4017 Wrong ! Carthage territory was mainly the whole of Tunisia (plus north west of Libya and north east of Algeria), that is the core of Carthage, and the city of Carthage in now Tunis was the capital. At its peak, it expanded to include the whole of North west Africa, most of Iberia, Sicilia (and of course Malta, Sardinia...). The Carthaginians were Punics who were a mix of the Phoenicians and the local people who were in nowadays Tunisia (specifically) who, unlike the local people of the other Phoenician settlements, adopted the Phoenician culture and developed it adding to it the local culture (just like the Etruscans in Italy who adopted the Greek culture a.k.a the Romans) especially after the fall of Tyre, and the total independence of Carthage in around 650 BC, which led to drastic changes which are mainly: - The fall of the old monarchy system and the rise of the republic of Carthage (the development of a constitution etc...). - The development of deities: Baal became Baal-hammon along with its partner Tanit (a local deity which replaced Ashtar and other Tyrian deities). They were both the main dieties. - The language has changed through time to be a mix of Phoenician language and the local language/dialect hence the Punic language and then the Neo-Punic and so on (search for the play Poenulus by Plautus)... - Unlike the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians were not only a great traders and merchants, but also a remarkable generals and warriors alongside their allies the Numidians and Libyans (well, most of the time !) who were under their rule and command, especially the Barcids for example (the family of Hamilcar and Hannibal).

@@vonn4017 Carthage was an empire on its own, while the rest of the Phoenician cities disappeared , Carthage, expanded and grew.

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it. I'm working on part 11 now, the Battle of Cannae. It should be finished sometime in August - big project that one.

@@HistoryMarche Forsure! I'm dead serious when I say this, your content on the Punic Wars is 10/10. I'll certainly stay tunned for the remaining videos. :)

@@ZombieProdigyUS @HistoryMarche ​ I agreed. I studied Carthage and Rome history in College and it was not so detailing; troops numbers and movements, battle strategies, navy details, maps, graphics, etc. Excellent job!!

It's funny how we can learn better when we watch these KZfaqrs lol

@Soumyadeep Chatterjee nope but Carthage is a city in Tunis

@Soumyadeep Chatterjee because carthage is in Tunisia

Greetings from Texas

Rome is Italia and Carthage is Tunisia. North africa against South Europe😈

@Soumyadeep Chatterjee problems?

Correction, THE best

Better than Alexander the great? And julius caeser?

@@karldilkington8802 I'd say better than Alexander, I'd personally tie him with Caesar. Alexander imo is overrated, all his battles were won in a huge part thanks to his troops, rather than he himself having a big impact, unlike Hannibal or Caesar. Plus the absolute tactical masterpiece that was Cannae imo trumps all of Alexander's victories, not only did he inherit the army from his father, but again imho never quite achieved a brilliant of a maneuver as Hannibal had at Cannae, or what can be called one of the most successful ambushes of all time at lake Trasimene for example.

True, hannibal faced more challenges than alexander

@@sacredband7089 Precisely. He faced an enemy(Rome) who had more manpower, an outright superior army, they were devoted to fighting the war unlike Carthage, so he didn't have even his country's support in an already underdog fight, compare that to Alexander, the Macedonian army at the time was the best in the world, if anything he had a superior army to Persia's, full of battle hardened, professional soldiers of the phalanx&the elite cavalry the companions, his only real disadvantage was being outnumbered, and unlike Hannibal had his country's support.

I mostly cover Ancient and Medieval history, those are my favorite periods - although by "Medieval" I also mean the Early modern period (15th to 17th century). That said, I'm working on Hannibal part 11, the Battle of Cannae. It should be finished in a few weeks.

​@@HistoryMarcheSir, are you still working on the series? The project is amazing, and I can't wait for the next part.

Rome at this time was contained in the Italian peninsula and in the Mediterranean islands around it. Not much of the known world.

So many great generals throughout history. For me I love learning about Julius Cesar, Hannibal Barca, Alexander the great, Robert E Lee, and Saladin. All great generals of their time.

@Utathya Manna no I haven't. I've never heard those names.

@@skittles970 but you have no idea about the general who never lost a single war in the entire history? Search Khalid ibn Al walid. Thank me later..!! And taimur lang also

There’s been one

And the queen Elissa also, it's one of the amazing history in Tunisia

@@50Deuce502 name please

No we don't they would butcher the story and make Hannibal a queer brown general fighting the racist white supremacists romans

@@marconel9189 Not if Steven Seagal as Hannibal Barca. Hahaha

I would love to see what Hannibal could do with a Late Republic legion. He wasn't as politically savy as other all time great generals, but there isn't a single commander from that time other than maybe Caesar in a protracted campaign who could beat Hannibal on the field. Should have been born a Roman lol.

@@geordiejones5618 Hmmm... Late rep legion commanded by whom though? Regarding Hannibal facing someone though, I would have a list of people I'd love to see him go against. Marcus Agrippa Majorianus Belisarius to name a few. Well, we are technically modern Romans if following the Roman cultural children.

My thoughts exactly. The narrator is the best I have ever heard
