Good, I suspected that there wasn't anything like this available, but I didn't know for sure.

Same here!

I'll see what I can do.

@@ThersitestheHistorian :(

Yeah, I intend to complete the series. I am going to start work on the Constantine VIII video this week.

Hello my friend from a Khorezmian and from Khorezm, you can learn about this from the journey of Ibn Batutta, I recommend reading his chronicle🤝

100 💯 percent

I'll have to look into Temur Malik. He did not come up in my readings on this topic, although to be fair, I didn't read much about the campaign itself. I am definitely considering doing a video covering the career of Jalal ad-Din.

@@ThersitestheHistorian Understandable, because Temur Malik was mostly know from the Mongol Invasion onwards, especially for his valliant defense of Khujand (of which he was the governer) by retreating to a fortified island on the Syr Darya river, holding out until food supplies ran out and eventually escaped by sailing off the island in a convoy of ships down the Syr Darya were he was eventually forced on land by blockades in the river by Mongols and was then defeated in battle, but did escape with his life. Later he regrouped and defeated Jochi near the Kyzylkum desert and eventually served under Jalal ud-din himself (after he became Sultan)... According to one story, he outlived Jalalud-din and returned to his native Khujand (in modern day Tajikistan, were he is still a national hero to this day) in order to stirr up new resistance to Mongol rule, but was recognised, captured and executed. As you may understand from this, he is as adventurous and interesting as Jalal ud-din Mengburnu, but just less famous outside of Central Asia... Nevertheless also part of Jalal ud-din's story as well, since he served under him later. So since you will cover Jalalud-din 's career, he would be an interesting addition 😀 I hope to have informed you somewhat, keep up the good work Thersites! 😊

Hard to say. I feel like the Mongols would have moved west eventually, but if they had chosen to focus on the complete conquest of China first, then that would have given the Khwarazmians plenty of time to consolidate. Given Muhammad II's strategic goals, he might have had another go at the Abbasid capital and so long as he launched the campaign at some time other than the dead of winter, he would have had a decently high chance of success.

ооо бро нагап,

I didn't got that at all. Who was that guy? Seems like the most random obscure figure from WWI, I presume he's from WWI from the attire. I was actually a bit annoyed by that "nerdy joke" getting too long.

Conrad ftw.

@@LuisAldamiz He was the Italian chief of staff during WWI and he's one of the worst generals in world history, along with his Austrian counterpart Conrad Von Hotzendorf. They both became memes for their shittyness

@@alanpennie8013 I think we can all agree that these two gods of war are on par with each other.

@@nexeos - TY. Sorry about my ignorance. Guess he's not very celebrated, right?

Wait, George Carlin had material on this war? No way!

@@ThersitestheHistorian hahahahahaha

Carlin lambasted the Persian Gulf War in his "We Like War" segment. I think that's the reference.

Those are the kinds of products Walmart needs to hold serve against Amazon and other major competitors.

Perhaps. I will probably cover the Kara Khitai and Seljuk Empires before doing something like that, but it is a definite possibility.

This is not Iran it is know a day Uzbek and Turk

wtf? are you not listening to the video? it is turkic history and I am bit ashamed that one turkic ruler was that weak.

Khorezm has nothing to do with Iran, we always fought with Iran and the Persians until 1925

Most of it seems pretty solid. I haven't watched all that much, so I can't comment further.

Well that, and the fact that it's people basically ceased to exist after the conquest. Hard to remember a people and their empire if they're extinct. Whether through pure slaughter or assimilation, Khwarezmian Iranians no longer exist as a people.

The main weakness of the empire was that the political elite and the army were divided into two groups, half of the elite and the army were subordinate to the Mother of Khorezmshah named Turkan Khatuna and were at enmity with each other, so Khorezmshah was afraid to unite the entire army in one place and meet the tired Mongolswhich were initially in the military assembly of the Khorezmshahs, Prince Jalal ad Din advised the Khorezmshah exactly this way.

I am planning to cover the Chagatai Empire relatively soon, so stay tuned.

​@@ThersitestheHistorian Would eagerly wait! 😁

Eventually

well everyone is not perfect, right? if you are ruler the probability of drinking alcohol increases exponentially. only handful of them could avoid that sin

The Achaemenids were almost certainly the strongest of the various Persian empires.

@@ThersitestheHistorian even stronger than Afsharids?

@@ChevyChase301 Definitely

U mean, Seljuk or ottoman empire...

khwarazmian empire was turkic too. persians were long gone from Khwarazm during that time. also there are more than those two @@stayrospaparunas3062

why? (actually I hate him too but not that much dude)

makes sense; he's already medieval

you know what they did to the old emperor when a new emperor was in power right?

at that time shiites were in some parts of Iraq and levant not in Iran. iran was made shiite by ismail safavi another turkic ruler.

Agreed. Genghis Khan was left with absolutely no alternative to an all - out attack.

Bro I'm confused ! Khwarazm was established by iranian people and by X century Turkic tribes rides ower region and establish own country. Even last native rulers mentioned themselves as Uzbek or Xiva Khanates

Bruh living somewhere does not make you from there by genetic Khorezmian was iranic people and they were extinct
