A big army under Batu and Subutai invaded Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the resurgence of the Khwarezmian empire under Jalal ad-din drew the Mongols back to Iran. This sparked a conflict with the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum that culminated in the battle of Kose Dag (Kösedağ) in 1243. Under Hulagu, the Mongols attacked the Abbasids and sacked Baghdad in 1258, but with the succession crisis looming he returned to Mongolia. His general Kitbuqa was left in the area with a smaller force and fought the battle of Ain Jalut against the forces of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt under Qutuz and Baybars in 1260. This battle would become the high point of the Mongol invasions in the West.

Previously, we have covered the American Revolution - the War of American Independence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5_jkn_ODCM&list=PLaBYW76inbX6qMQ2CfpU0TUTxW3-D00nU). The setup episode of our Civil War series will discuss why the South seceded and the real reason behind the American Civil War (https://youtu.be/E_rV6QGjRmQ), while the first episode will describe how and why the American Civil War happened (https://youtu.be/o96xUF5mjOs). The first shots were fired with the Bleeding Kansas in 1854–1861 and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, but the war started with the Confederate secession and the attack on Fort Sumter in April of 1861 and the first battle of Bull Run in July of 1861 (https://youtu.be/akciSbEka_E). In the aftermath, Lincoln and his commander, McClellan, launched the Peninsula Campaign, hoping to take the Confederate capital of Richmond during the Seven Days Battles and win the war quickly. (https://youtu.be/7ky86GF-cW0). These events allowed Lee to go on an offensive, leading to the second battle of Manassas (Bull Run), Cedar Mountai,n and Antietam (https://youtu.be/RNUA2vEklIQ). The war continued with the battles of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg in 1862 (https://youtu.be/2FWziwTQOFA), and the hostilities peaked at Gettysburg in 1863 (https://youtu.be/HXPYeONfF90). In episode 7, we described the naval theater of the war, including the birth of the ironclads and the Battle of Hampton Roads (https://youtu.be/phL_VOwjTtQ), while episode 8 turned towards the western states, as we discuss the events in Kentucky and Missouri, Ulysses Grant enters the war and the battle of Fort Donalson takes place (https://youtu.be/eB21WzUCgWI). The Confederates launched a desperate counterattack at Shiloh, Corinth and Stone’s River (https://youtu.be/FHtJgiMrm64) and Grant's campaigns continued at Vicksburg (https://youtu.be/DPO4lqqfaLw), following the battles at Chickamauga and Chattanooga (https://youtu.be/y76wfHmySak), and Sherman’s campaign from Meridian to Atlanta: maneuvers, battles, leadership shifts, and decisive Union victory.Videos on American history:American Revolution - https://youtu.be/yRfAoxJj5j8When America Invaded Russia - https://youtu.be/7rRq3McTnYsTecumseh and the Native American Resistance - https://youtu.be/cH-T2aY4DPYHistory of the American Mafia - https://youtu.be/jUne3fMzPKUBattle of New Orleans - https://youtu.be/IH6CsX_nOVsThe video was made by Antoni Kamerans, while the script was researched and written by David Ernenwein.

  Battle of Talas 751 - Abbasid - Tang War DOCUMENTARY 25.09.2026 12min

  There are certain historical battles, which had very little influence immediately but changed things through the centuries. The battle of Talas between the Abbasid Caliphate and the Chinese Tang Empire in 751 is a good example of such a conflict. It changed the religious outlook of Central Asia as Buddhism was slowly pushed out and Islam took its place, was crucial in changing the faith of the Turkic tribes. Later on the Seljuk Turks moved to the West, and that was one of the reasons for the Crusades. Historians also think that this battle was important for the Renaissance, as the papermaking made its way to Europe after it.

The actions of the ruler of the Western Liao (Qara Khitai) Kuchlug and the shah of the Khwarezmian empire Ala ad-Din Muhammad II gave the great khan a reason to attack Central Asia and Eastern Iran. Prosperous cities were turned to rubble and the population was massacred during a three-year campaign led by Genghis, Ogedei, Jochi, Chagatai, Tolui, Jebe, and Subutai.

  Moscow and Petersburg Burn, Crimea Isolated - Russian Invasion of Ukraine 25.09.2026 25min

Ukraine is transforming the war—and Russia is beginning to feel the consequences far beyond the front line. After years of relentless Russian pressure, Ukrainian forces have stabilized several critical sectors, launched localized counterattacks and dramatically expanded their mid- and long-range drone operations. This video examines the fighting around Lyman, Kostiantynivka, Kupiansk and the wider Donbas Fortress Belt, where Russia continues to advance but at a much slower pace. We then turn south to Crimea, where repeated Ukrainian strikes against bridges, highways, supply vehicles and military infrastructure have contributed to severe shortages of fuel and essential goods. Ukraine’s campaign now reaches much deeper. Oil facilities around Moscow, Saint Petersburg and even Siberia have been targeted, threatening Russia’s refining capacity and bringing the effects of the war closer to ordinary Russians. Recruitment is declining, economic pressure is growing and signs of war fatigue are becoming increasingly difficult for the Kremlin to conceal. Meanwhile, Russia retains a formidable long-range strike capability, leaving Ukraine dependent on Patriot interceptors and continued Western assistance. With negotiations stalled and both countries expanding drone and missile production, could Ukraine’s new strategy force Russia toward peace—or is a larger escalation still ahead?Eastern Front of WW2 series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBYW76inbX6ubSghjj0fxjMRvShxAUGTPacific War series: youtu.be/MEgIHN63ojU?list=PLaBYW76inbX4kE52CPUvx8gZ7CQyjweEgModern Warfare series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBYW76inbX4NYr_WkbaW5KfYwqTAxn08Video: Leif SickScript: Turgut GambarNarration: Officially Devin✔ Merch store ► https://teespring.com/stores/kingsandgenerals✔ Podcast ► http://www.kingsandgenerals.net/podcast/✔ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/KingsGenerals✔ Instagram ►http://www.instagram.com/Kings_GeneralsProduction Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: http://www.epidemicsound.com00:00:00 - Ukraine Is Transforming the War00:01:28 - Russia’s Offensive Slows Down00:04:04 - Crimea’s Supply Crisis Deepens00:07:34 - Could Ukraine Launch a Counteroffensive?00:09:27 - Ukrainian Drones Strike Deep Inside Russia00:11:42 - War Fatigue Spreads Across Russia00:14:19 - Air Defence, Foreign Aid and Diplomacy00:16:49 - Has the War Reached a Turning Point?#Documentary #Ukraine #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #Iran Learn more about your ad choices.

  Watch the next 6 episodes in early access on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/join and Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingsandgeneralsKings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the Eastern Front of World War II starts out with the prelude episode #12. Previously we discussed the German strategic situation before the war (https://youtu.be/-wV1f5GgUj0), while this episode will talk about the concept of Blitzkrieg, debunking the biggest lie of WWII. The word Blitzkrieg conjures images of lightning-fast German offensives—Panzers racing across Europe, Stukas screaming overhead, and Allied armies crumbling in days. But how much of this reflects reality, and how much is postwar mythmaking? In this episode, we begin with the myth of Blitzkrieg, tracing how the concept was shaped by German generals after the war to rewrite their legacy. We explore what Blitzkrieg was (and wasn’t)—not a formal doctrine, but a loosely understood term applied after the fact. The legendary 1940 campaign in France is dissected to reveal a story of luck, misjudged Allied responses, and operational improvisation rather than strategic genius. We then turn to interwar doctrine and combined arms theory, showing how all major powers were grappling with similar ideas about modern warfare. Through German panzer operations and real-world constraints, we uncover the logistical and industrial limits that undercut the image of an unstoppable war machine. Finally, we examine the legacy and propaganda of Blitzkrieg, revealing how the myth took hold—both in Nazi Germany and in postwar Western narratives.Eastern Front of WW2 Week-by-Week: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBYW76inbX6ubSghjj0fxjMRvShxAUGTEastern Front Podcast: https://theeasternfront.podbean.com/e/eastern-front-prelude-01-the-russian-revolution-and-russian-civil-war/Pacific War: https://youtu.be/MEgIHN63ojU?list=PLaBYW76inbX4kE52CPUvx8gZ7CQyjweEgModern Warfare: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBYW76inbX4NYr_WkbaW5KfYwqTAxn08Winter War: https://youtu.be/1Uk5bY22RSEKhalkhin Gol: https://youtu.be/GGwUlET2tbwVideo: Yağız Bozan and Murat Can YağbasanScript: Russell HellyerVO: Devin http://bit.ly/3XzSCgV & http://bit.ly/3GUO9iT✔ Merch store ► https://teespring.com/stores/kingsandgenerals✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals✔ Podcast ► http://www.kingsandgenerals.net/podcast/✔ PayPal ► http://paypal.me/kingsandgenerals✔ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/KingsGenerals✔ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/KingsGenerals✔ Instagram ►http://www.instagram.com/Kings_GeneralsProduction Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: http://www.epidemicsound.com00:00 – The Myth of Blitzkrieg01:58 – What Blitzkrieg Was (and Wasn’t)03:37 – The 1940 France Campaign: Strategy vs. Legend06:04 – Interwar Doctrine and Combined Arms Theory10:22 – German Panzer Operations and Real-World Constraints16:37 – The Legacy and Propaganda of BlitzkriegBibliography: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13GxTeIfoeKpGNhakS1imgouKsaXLk_3Ckg7kb2hvni0/edit?usp=sharing#Documentary #EasternFront #WW2 Learn more about your ad choices.

  Fall Of Constantinople 1453 - Ottoman Wars DOCUMENTARY 25.09.2026 16min

  The Eastern Roman Empire was under constant Ottoman pressure ever since the new conquerors appeared in the Anatolia. Although the Ottomans tried to take Constantinople on a number of occasions, they had to lift the siege of the city due to the Crusades of Varna and Nicopolis, the Timurid Invasion and the battle of Ankara, and the Interregnum period that happened after their Sultan Bayezid was taken hostage by Timur. However, after the victories at the battles of Varna (1444) and 2nd Kosovo (1448) against the crusaders of Wladyslaw III and John Hunyadi, the road to Constantinople was open and the new sultan Mehmed II set his sight on the city of the Roman emperors...Support us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals or Paypal: http://paypal.me/kingsandgenerals.We are grateful to our patrons, who made this video possible: Matthew Levy, Rene Malmgren, Ibrahim Rahman, Koopinator, Daisho, Łukasz Maliszewski, William Fluit, Juan Camilo Rodriguez, Murray Dubs, Félix Gagné-Dion, Fahri Dashwali, Kyle Hooton, Dan Mullen, Mohamed Thair, Pablo Aparicio Martínez, Iulian Margeloiu, Chet, Nick Nasad, Jeyares, Amir Eppel, Thomas Bloch, Uri Sternfeld, Georgi Kirilov, Mohammad Mian, Daniel Yifrach, Brian Crane, Muramasa, Gerald Tnay, Hassan Ali, Richie Thierry, David O'Hare, Christopher Commins, Chris Glantzis, William Pugh, Stefan Dt, indy, Bashir Hammour, Mario Nickel, R.G.

  Why Hollywood Always Gets Armour and Weapons Wrong 25.09.2026 29min

  🎥 Watch 300+ exclusive videos on ✔ Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/join or ✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/kingsandgeneralsKings and Generals historical animated documentary series on history of armor and evolution of armies continues with a video in which we take a look at the recent trend in movies and tv shows regarding the historical armor and weapons. Why does armour in historical films and fantasy series so often look convincing while making little historical or practical sense? This video traces the portrayal of arms and armour from ancient Greek and Roman theatre through medieval art, Renaissance costume traditions, silent cinema, sword-and-sandal epics, and modern productions such as Gladiator, Vikings, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. We examine how centuries of artistic imitation created enduring misconceptions—including muscle cuirasses, shining “white armour,” villainous black armour, and the entirely fictional idea of studded leather. The video also reveals why authentic armour was far more mobile and effective than Hollywood suggests. Historical armourers designed each piece around biomechanics, weight distribution, weapon deflection, battlefield mobility, and contemporary fashion. Modern costume designers, meanwhile, must contend with actors’ comfort, lightweight materials, production schedules, directors, and limited budgets. From Dungeons & Dragons to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, fantasy and historical media continue to reshape how millions imagine the past. Discover where the most familiar armour tropes originated, why some older films were surprisingly accurate, how Gladiator transformed historical cinema, and what filmmakers and game designers can do to create armour that looks dramatic without abandoning history.Rome vs Persia: An Unwinnable War: https://youtu.be/zCtQ_INPdhURoman Empire - Julio-Claudians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQOS1oJNGz8&list=PLaBYW76inbX5egSRNgWbadqMhVH7Z5p6PPunic Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCxkNk1tjNw&list=PLaBYW76inbX5ip3365IenIvsq4RIolKMaVandals: https://youtu.be/-IpbeEW6I9YHow Rome Conquered Greece: https://youtu.be/v5q1rerf-qwDid the Trojan War Really Happen: https://youtu.be/12eHJL2yRtkDemosthenes: https://youtu.be/ABS1iepXG0UAncient Greek Politics and Diplomacy: https://youtu.be/MVnp4NilDLIPyrrhic Wars: https://youtu.be/2QBA6ZPmj3QEastern Roman Empire: Why So Many Civil Wars?: https://youtu.be/SK_yHooLu1sMos Maiorum: What led to the fall of the Roman Republic?: https://youtu.be/BNWfDWk6ohM Caesar in Gaul: https://youtu.be/LRV185XaMIM Animation: Michael Merc youtube.com/@MercenaryCamp, Kate KorolkoArtwork: Vadym BerkutenkoScript: Evan Schultheis Narration: Liam Taylor ✔ Merch store ► https://teespring.com/stores/kingsandgenerals ✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals ✔ Podcast ► https://kingsandgenerals.libsyn.com/ iTunes: https://apple.co/2QTuMNG ✔ PayPal ► http://paypal.me/kingsandgenerals ✔ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/KingsGenerals ✔ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/KingsGenerals ✔ Instagram ►http://www.instagram.com/Kings_Generals Production Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16x7BZo0EgYi7I318k_l7MAoki6yT9PuPJ0PmD_ILGdI/edit?usp=sharingMusic courtesy of EpidemicSound 00:00:00 - Why Hollywood Gets Armour Wrong00:02:03 - How Ancient Theatre Shaped History00:06:21 - The Origin of Studded Leather00:07:43 - How Gladiator Changed Historical Films00:11:13 - Why Modern Screen Armour Fails00:13:48 - How Real Armour Actually Worked00:17:17 - The Forgotten Fashion of Armour00:19:55 - Can Hollywood Fix the Problem?#Documentary #Odyssey #nolan Learn more about your ad choices.

  Battle of Hohenfriedberg 1745 - First and Second Silesian War DOCUMENTARY 25.09.2026 17min

  The conflicts of the XVII and XVIII centuries are often considered to be dull, as the tactics of the period were too rigid and positional. But even this period had its shining stars - generals whose talent changed the borders with one decisive move and pushed the tactics and warfare forward. Prussian king Frederick II the Great is rightly considered the best commander of this era. In this documentary, we will cover the First and the Second Silesian Wars that were part of the War of the Austrian Succession with the focus on the battles of Mollwitz (1741) and Hohenfriedberg (1745). Hopefully, you will enjoy this video, because we are eager to cover the Thirty Years' War, the War for the Spanish Succession, Seven Years' War and other prominent conflicts of that period.

After his legendary victory at Blenheim, John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, sought another decisive battle that could break the military power of Louis XIV. His plans were repeatedly frustrated by cautious allies, elusive French armies, and the political tensions holding the Grand Alliance together. But in 1706, France finally offered him the opportunity he had been waiting for. At the Battle of Ramillies, Marlborough confronted Marshal Villeroi and a powerful Franco-Bavarian army in the Spanish Netherlands. Using carefully coordinated attacks, deceptive troop movements, and a devastating concentration of cavalry, Marlborough manipulated Villeroi into weakening the decisive sector of his line. What followed became one of the Duke’s greatest tactical masterpieces. This documentary examines the campaigns leading to Ramillies, the opposing armies and their deployments, Marlborough’s battlefield deception, the struggle for Taviers and Ramillies, and the collapse of the Bourbon position. The Allied victory cost Louis XIV control of most of the Spanish Netherlands and transformed the wider War of the Spanish Succession. Discover how Marlborough outmanoeuvred Villeroi and won one of the most decisive European battles of the eighteenth century.The video was made by Antoni Kamerans, while the script was written by Jonathan Woody.

  In one of our previous videos, we covered the battle of Yarmouk (https://youtu.be/5Ct4OSmdZ3M) between the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate. This battle largely defined the fate of Eastern Mediterranean, but to the East, Caliphate had another global power to contend with - the Sassanid Empire.
