The Timurids after Timur (barring the Mughals of course) get routinely glossed over in many history videos as they make the period following Timur's death seem as a rapid decline.

Shah Rukh's strategy seems similar to that of Tokugawa. Extremely patient. But moving swiftly as soon as he knew victory was more than guaranteed

@StoicHistorian Ай бұрын

I agree with that yeah good comparison

@caniblmolstr452 Ай бұрын

@@StoicHistorian there is but a downside to such strategists. As they can't create opportunities. They have to wait for the other to make a mistake. While generals like Napoleon, Alexander, Timur and Hannibal don't have to wait for such opportunities to appear. They force their opponents to show them one. Napoleon used to weaken his flanks to invite his enemies or abruptly vacate high positions. Hanniba used to weaken his own center so as to envelop his enemies with his Numidian cavalry. While Timur or Robert Guiscard was just crafty as a fox using whatever works. Such generals are ultimately the best. Not Tokugawa or ShahRukh

I hope it was pun but Shah Rukh actually means Shah is king in Farsi & Rukh is both Arabic & Farsi word which means Soul or Sprit. So since old time Muslim world was poetic that means Sprit of King or a spiritual King.

@islombekochi Ай бұрын

Shahrukh means soul of king or spirit of king. The city Shahrukhiya named after him. Shahrukh didn't involved to succession because of his mother was concubine not high class lady the khanum. But he was one who keep state unified. Other Temurid Princes exiled his line from throne because legitimate system. His son Mirzo Ulughbek who was founder of Temurid rennessans.

The fact of persianization is overstated by illiterate persian nationalist sources as their history curriculum in their schools doesn't contain world history so that they develop this delusion that they are the only people that exist on the planet. Acculturation of the invaders is a fact of history starting from Akkadians. Most invaders who come from less populous lands have to take on the character of the invaded to rule them better as they don't have the numbers to fill in the ranks of local beaurocracy. This happened until the industrial revolution everywhere, including in China, India, Rome, Greece, and with Normans, Himyarites, Gauls, Norse etc. Even the British were starting to dress like Indians and assimilate until industrialization and ideas of scientific race in mid 19th century made it both easy to rule from afar and amalgamation obsolete and idea of supremacy of cultures commonplace.
