Robi_CK One such battle I would like to see on BazBattles is the Battle of White Mountain or some of the Hussites Battles

I don't have my favorites, but certainly Hussite Wars are interesting

Here in Armenia, it's actually a symbol of freedom. Even nearly 16 centuries later.

And Soviets

Ancient history is full of cultures that held on, because empires don't often assimilate - in fact, they really only care about political stability (excusing special interests of elites). Assimilation is mostly a phenomenon of modern nationalism. There is mention of 'romanization', but it took centuries, and the roman empire existed for at least that long.

Thank you kindly Slava, but BazBattles is second to none in my book.

Just found your channel and subscribed, your videos are very good and detailed, and the narration is very pleasing too, I hope you gain more subscribers soon!

@jared - Indeed, though these were chaotic times across the Roman domain.

Thank you, we love India, many Indian students live there)))

Though Vardan was not a king, but a warlord

However, such battles did occur, of course, rarely. Another example of this is the Battle of Lützen (1632, Thirty Years' War ). The death of Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden was not known to many soldiers during the battle, and the king was thought to have disappeared by several people, due to, among other things, the fog. After the king's death, his deputy, Bernard of Saxe-Weimar took over the command, reorganizing the broken center (which broke not because of the king’s death, but because the center’s battle line slipped too far, creating a gap and the Imperial cavalry breaking through of it) of the army's first line, and then attacking the second reserve line as well. Eventually, the Swedes and their allies won a victory over the Imperial forces.

The legend goes that when Vardan died in battle a soldier picked up his cape and wore it. All the men saw the cape and thought that their general was still fighting so they too kept fighting. Every time the solider wearing the cape died another would pick it up and charge forward.

@@TheArmenianSolider65 Armenians, Arabs, Hebrews, Persians and Greeks kept their identity while many nations perished. No Roman, no Pheonician no Scythians, no Lydians.

It's really interesting, he is still celebrated to this day and the day of the battle of his death is commemorated as a public holiday in Armenia.

The ghost of Spookwagen It's a very intresting region and a very hard one to understand. Plus there are almost no documentary videos to bring up the light

Armenians are VERY proud to be Armenian. Hence outside of America they do not like intermarrying or intermixing & are IMMENSELY nationalistic. Armenia is one of the most homogenous nation on earth & its not because they think they are better than anyone else, its simply survival & a way to protect their unique culture & genetic identity. Western & eastern visitors are ALWAYS welcome as long as they respect the culture, & Armenian culture is a typical christian culture. Everywhere is clean, food is great, water is clean, & life is good. I encourage you to visit Armenia and their cousins in Georgia. You would love it.

Dr. Spectre I visited friends in Georgia a few years ago and I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful country

batu khan it actually happened after this battle. Armenians were fighting with that tactics until the empire abandoned its idea to convert their religion.

I wasn't reffering only to the Persians. I wanted to point out that the Armenian people have suffered since their first days (starting with the Assyrians and ending with the Turks).

And great love from America

haha

Its all about the geopolitical part, they were in a heat zone, with stronger powers nearby.

most during ottoman empire....

You can not imagine how we love the Greeks.

he is remembered also in Georgia too saint SHUSHANIK

The whole irony is in the fact that Armenians sought help BOTH from Byzantines and Huns, which were fighting each other. I guess we were hoping that somebidy would help...

Every time

Sor Alb Those Albanians are same as Balkan ones.They migrated to Balkan from Caucasus actually.

Dimitrije Ostojic I'm Armenian and I say no to that, they are different....completely different

That is not true. Caucasian albania has nothing to do with modern day Albania.

Modern albanians used to live in Balkans itself, in Illyria.

Rogério Cardoso Illyrians were sea/sailing people, unlike Albanians that never sailed nor have the words for sea vessels and life in their language. So... no.

The Sassanids did not threaten Christendom, so the Battle of Avarayr was NOT one of them.

@Tarık Mengüç Exile? *Genocide

@Tarık Mengüç The man who was brought to court? Good.

@Tarık Mengüç state policy to enslave and force them to fight in their armies aswell

Yesterdays enemies are today's friends. Today's friends are tomorrow's enemies. Things always change, it is the natural state of things.

@CrossWood Productions Not at all. Today Iranian tourists often visit Armenia and our relations are good. Religion is no reason to not like another human being.

Generally speaking it's tyrants that force people to clash.

We love Persians. Armenia and Persia generally have always been friendly to each other throughout history. The Sassanids rulers were the ones to change it into something hostile by being less tolerant and respectful than previous Iranian rulers.

@@ArsenAl-zorK Even the topic of Sassanid tolerance is kind of a complicated issue to tackle, since it heavily depends on which specific king you are talking about. Keep in mind that most of the shahs of the Sassanid period were able to uphold tolerance towards nearly all of their subjects and, as evidenced in the late era, did also incorporate them into the Persian nobility and elite ranks of their military, so long as they were loyal to the empire. Admittedly though, when some of the rulers carried out the odd persecution (Avarayr being the most notable example), they clamped down hard. It probably wasn't a pretty sight.

H T there’s a more crazier battle it’s the battle of halidzor

A WAR THEY LOST,TO PERSIA..THEY DID LOSE THE WAR,BUT THEY CELEBRATE IT,AS A MORAL VICTORY!!RELIGIOUS WARES,TO CONVERT PEOPLE..HAD KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE..FOR CENTURIES..EACH SIDE FIGHTING FOR THEIR GOD!WHAT A WAIST..!

There's a battle coming Ned, I don't know when I don't know where but it's coming.

GODS WHAT A BATTLE THAT WAS

Ali BabaAhmed You would be right. This was a battle for freedom of belief. Remember, the Sasinid king didn't do this out of piety. It's why the outnumbered Armenians fought so hard.

The Armenians had good reason to fight, during the roman/sassanid wars they also sided with the Romans whenever they could thats Why the persians where so Desperate to Control them.

if I'm the Persian King, I would've done the same to secure my border. remember both Armenia and the Romans have the same faith and tradition. it's enough reason for the Romans to help them. so the Persian King is doing the right thing to do so, just in case if the Romans try to help the Armenians in future conflict.

Wonderful Caeserz practically speaking, it was right (though not the wisest choice) but morally it's wrong.

Ali BabaAhmed well every war ja morally wrong but back then they couldnt Care about such Things if they didn't want to get Invaded themselfes.

Stop saying suffer, we should fight to live that is simple truth. Every Armenian should understand it

@@TigranMovsisyanTB just because it's the way of life doesn't mean it isn't suffering. Genocide certainly isn't "fighting to live". Genocide is unnatural. And the Armenians suffered much more than many other cultures, even apart from the genocide that happened in later years. What a dumb fucking statement.

@@noahmatteson4525 Armenians should have not let anyone to genocide them, at the first place. It is partially our fault, that we were weak and not unified.

Straight Outta Markarth iran/Persia is ancient and still strong and major what're you talking about?

@@maxten Islam never overran Persia. Persia adopted Islam. Iran now has the same if not more strength than its past empires. Iran is on the map because of its political resilience. This is why it's still relevant and feared. Armenia has beautiful and great people. Iranians are as resilient if not more than Armenians. Don't make an enemy of two allied peoples.

@Lucimyr Iranians now are direct descendants of Ancient Persians. Even the genetic haplotypes prove this.

@@maxten India is still standing.

I did offer him the battle Avarayr in the comment section of the last video, though I don't know if it was my suggestion that he saw.

I mean they still lost the war since the Persians carried on ruling them..

0249er Their ture goal was preserving their religion, I doudt any of them thought they'd be able to fully escape the Empire, and even if they did Rome would have tried to take over. So they definitely won the war.

lol no they fought for Independence and they where crushed by the Persians. They fully well knew that if they didnt achieve it they would be killed or there life would be miserable within the empire so it was a all or nothing bet when they refused the offer and they lost.

Yeah, but Christianity became the co-official religion of Persia as a consequence of this battle.

those damn samnites I miss SPQR :(

eh, Their Sequels were a lot more interesting for me. *The Holy Roman Empire* : *the countless kingdoms of ONE EMPIRE.* was cool and in depth, with a lot of drama! But personally my favorite was; *The Byzantine Empire* : *An Empire That Refused to Die* Such an inspiring story!

You never know who wins. I am georgian and in 1021 was battle against seljuks. Georgians were 60k when the seljuks 250 to 300k, Georgians won the battle and crushed seljucks. Il ghazi was good general, he had huge armie and still he lost. You can never know who wins. War is not only about numbers, money, or weapons. is comlex thing.
