  Sengoku Jidai - Every Battle and Campaign EXPLAINED 19.09.2026 3h 39min

  🎥 Watch 250+ exclusive videos on ✔ Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/join or ✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/kingsandgeneralsKings and Generals animated historical series on the history of Japan continues with a full length documentary video on the Sengoku Jidai, as we explain all battles and campaigns of the Japan's warring states period from the Onin War to the Tokugawa Shogunate's formation. Japan’s Sengoku Jidai, the “Age of Warring States,” was more than a century of near-constant conflict, political betrayal, and military innovation that reshaped the country forever. This documentary traces that long descent into chaos from the Ōnin War, when the authority of the Ashikaga shogunate collapsed, to the final destruction of the Toyotomi clan and the rise of Tokugawa rule.The story follows the rise of powerful daimyo and the men who defined the era: Oda Nobunaga, the ruthless innovator who shattered old conventions; Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, locked in legendary rivalry at the Battles of Kawanakajima; Tokugawa Ieyasu, patient and calculating, surviving defeat at Mikatagahara to shape Japan’s future; and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who rose from humble origins to complete Japan’s unification.Major turning, including Okehazama, where Nobunaga stunned Japan with a daring upset; Anegawa and Nagashino, where firearms changed warfare forever; the long struggle against the Ikkō-ikki at Ishiyama Hongan-ji; and the betrayal at Honnō-ji that ended Nobunaga’s life. Hideyoshi’s consolidation of power through Yamazaki, Shizugatake, and Komaki and Nagakute leads into the great campaigns against the Shimazu, the fall of the Hōjō at Odawara, and the disastrous Imjin War in Korea.The conflict reaches its decisive climax with the Sekigahara Campaign, culminating in the Battle of Sekigahara, before concluding with the brutal Sieges of Osaka, the death of Sanada Yukimura, and the final end of the Sengoku age. This is the full, unbroken story of how war forged early modern Japan.More videos on the history of Japan:Rise of Oda Nobunaga - Battle of Okehazama 1560: https://youtu.be/plDSW1MaYWIHow American Occupation Changed Japanese Culture: https://youtu.be/olR9sOeR8oQHow Japan Became an Economic Powerhouse: https://youtu.be/6IIvo2KOASkJapan and the US Occupation: https://youtu.be/tIZ-pMjCaBYAinu - History of the Indigenous people of Japan: https://youtu.be/5tnK2FK2298Real Ghost of Tsushima: https://youtu.be/11Y_Q1w-d_EWilliam Adams: Story of the English Samurai in Japan: https://youtu.be/2aVshthzRukMongols: Invasions of Japan 1274 and 1281: https://youtu.be/7FxBjEbEPX0Yasuke: Story of the African Samurai in Japan: https://youtu.be/0RZaHgXEhJ4Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905 - Battle of Tsushima: https://youtu.be/jm4w2n1KjfQSamurai: Outsiders to Legends: https://youtu.be/cKyEkgf_Z5ASamurai Who Survived Two Mongol Invasions: https://youtu.be/DXKHpu8GHyk The video was made by Talha Sial, while the script was researched and written by Dimitris Koutsoumis.

  How England Was Forged by War - Medieval History DOCUMENTARY 18.09.2026 30min

  🎥 Watch 250+ 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 the history of Britain and England continues with a video in which we show how the unification of England took place in the middle ages. England was not born in a single moment—it was forged through generations of war, invasion, and political survival. For centuries after the Roman withdrawal, the Anglo-Saxon world was divided into rival kingdoms, bound by shared culture but separated by ambition and bloodshed. That fragile balance shattered with the arrival of the Vikings. Beginning as coastal raiders, the Norse evolved into conquerors, unleashing the Great Heathen Army and destroying nearly every Anglo-Saxon realm in its path. Only Wessex survived. Under King Alfred the Great, this underdog kingdom endured collapse, exile, and near defeat—before staging one of the most remarkable recoveries in medieval history. Alfred’s victory at Edington halted the Danish advance and laid the foundations for a new kind of English state, built on fortresses, standing forces, and political reform. His successors—Edward the Elder and the formidable Æthelflæd of Mercia—took the fight north, dismantling the Danelaw piece by piece. Finally, under King Æthelstan, the last Viking strongholds fell. With the capture of York in 927, England emerged unified for the first time under a single ruler. This is the century-long story of how invasion forged a kingdom—and how Wessex became England.Charlemagne’s Bloody War Against the Saxons - Verden Massacre: https://youtu.be/Rea-6g1v_JkWhy Was Germany so Fragmented in the Middle Ages: https://youtu.be/EiB8sMHxGqMEastern Roman Empire: Why So Many Civil Wars?: https://youtu.be/SK_yHooLu1sWhat Did the Europeans Think About the Eastern Romans?: https://youtu.be/Qu6NnWj1EZ8Were the Eastern Romans and Arabs Always at War?: https://youtu.be/nBMP6yRAOZgGreat Schism Between Greek and Latin Christianity: https://youtu.be/a6rWf0k8d78How Islam Split into the Sunni and Shia Branches: https://youtu.be/-85dXjgMiSURise of the Cossacks: https://youtu.be/UQ_ocyTRRIECrusades From the Muslim Perspective: https://youtu.be/t8RZtYvW02gEarly Muslim Expansion - Yarmouk, Al-Qadisiyyah: https://youtu.be/r2cEIDZwG5M Early Muslim Expansion - Egypt and Iran: https://youtu.be/baHT2nR5Wr4 Muslim Schism: https://youtu.be/-85dXjgMiSU Third Crusade: https://youtu.be/jCyCSgsFXKQ Fourth Crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vp_IENiSnA&list=PLaBYW76inbX4ZjR4rodOOSc-zL1orP4hW First Crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkyYjpYLORI&list=PLaBYW76inbX6RqjG027zLO_svn3Fdv7Qa Sultanate of Women in the Ottoman Empire: https://youtu.be/OEzS8D4IidA How the German Empire Provoked Ottoman Jihad in WWI: https://youtu.be/8LCpbgVx9kY Ottoman Battles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txyqS5yuw30&list=PLaBYW76inbX5BKGRPzlqdztQySZmJLjJt Why the Ottomans Never Colonized America: https://youtu.be/lM_Wzt_Z228Why the Ottoman Sultans Killed their Brothers: https://youtu.be/vN7LgUIOAVw Cem Sultan: Ottoman Prince in the Heart of Europe: https://youtu.be/3w9POQMt5jk Ottoman Pirates: https://youtu.be/5jguevSDIuY Turkification of Anatolia: https://youtu.be/JBgq1taoUsY Hashashins: https://youtu.be/vG8qmlKdRjs Christian Schism: https://youtu.be/a6rWf0k8d78 Mos Maiorum: What led to the fall of the Roman Republic?: https://youtu.be/BNWfDWk6ohM How Rome Conquered Greece: https://youtu.be/v5q1rerf-qw Caesar in Gaul: https://youtu.be/LRV185XaMIM Animation: Michael Merc youtube.com/@MercenaryCamp, Kate KorolkoArtwork: Viktoriia Lafazan Script: Michael McCombNarration: Liam Taylor✔ Merch store ► https://teespring.com/stores/kingsandgenerals ✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals ✔ Podcast ► https://kingsan Learn more about your ad choices.

For centuries, feudalism has been portrayed as the defining system of the Middle Ages, with lords, vassals, and fiefs forming the backbone of medieval society. But how accurate is this picture? Modern historians have challenged the long-held belief in a universal "feudal system," arguing that it is more a construct of later legal scholars than a reflection of early medieval reality. In this video, we explore the myths and misconceptions surrounding feudalism, tracing its supposed origins in the Carolingian era and the traditional narrative of land grants, vassalage, and military service. We examine how scholars like Susan Reynolds and Roman Deutinger have reinterpreted medieval sources, revealing a far more complex and regionally diverse social structure than previously imagined. Was feudalism truly a medieval reality, or was it invented by 12th-century jurists trying to codify chaotic local practices? Join us as we uncover the real story behind medieval landholding, personal loyalties, and why the concept of feudalism may be more fiction than fact.Why Was Italy so Fragmented in the Middle Ages?: https://youtu.be/L9m5kifZjhUWhy Was Germany so Fragmented in the Middle Ages: https://youtu.be/EiB8sMHxGqMWho is the Heir of Rome?: https://youtu.be/PHtaKsG2O-UThe video was made by Sebastiao Reis, while the script was written by Erik Wascheck, the video was narrated by Liam Taylor✔ 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.comSources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wogy5DWLC1Nbubqb2eV8c4e3t3Xkf2tUH9YSeQ7RwZo/edit?usp=sharing00:00 – What Everyone Got Wrong About Feudalism02:10 – The Classical Model of Feudalism06:00 – The Carolingians and the Rise of Fiefs08:34 – Susan Reynolds and the Critique of Feudalism12:00 – Reassessing the Sources and Terminology15:23 – The True Origins of Feudalism in Medieval Europe#documentary #Feudalism #Medieval Learn more about your ad choices.

  Ukraine Embarrasses Putin in Kupiansk - Russian Invasion Continues 18.09.2026 21min

  🎥 Watch 250+ exclusive videos on ✔ Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/join or ✔ Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/kingsandgeneralsKings and Generals animated historical documentary series on modern warfare continues with another video on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine with the updates of December 2025. In this update on the war in Ukraine, we examine the latest military, economic, and diplomatic developments shaping the conflict as it approaches its fourth year. We begin on the battlefield around Kupiansk, where Russian authorities prematurely declared victory, only for Ukrainian forces to launch a successful counteroffensive that cut supply lines, liberated surrounding villages, and left Russian troops encircled inside the town. From there, we assess developments across the Donbas front, including fighting near Lyman, Siversk, Pokrovsk, and Huliaipole, and explain why some Russian territorial gains carry limited strategic value despite heavy costs. The video then shifts to long-range warfare, analyzing Russia’s intensified strikes on Ukraine’s power grid and Ukraine’s expanding campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, refineries, and naval assets. These attacks highlight the growing role of drones, sea drones, and underwater systems in modern warfare. We also explore the mounting strain on Russia’s economy, from rising inflation and shrinking energy revenues to pressure on the military-industrial complex and manpower recruitment. Finally, we break down the current state of diplomacy, peace proposals, Western security guarantees, EU financial support, and why the Kremlin continues to reject negotiations while betting on time and attrition.Pacific 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 - Kupiansk: Russia’s Claimed Victory Unravels00:01:48 - Battlefield Update: Kupiansk, Donbas, and Southern Advances00:04:46 - Long-Range Strikes: Power Grids, Drones, and Naval Warfare00:07:26 - Economic Pressure: Russia’s War Economy Under Strain00:09:20 - Diplomacy Stalls: Peace Talks, Red Lines, and Maximalist Demands00:12:50 - Aid, Elections, and the Future of Western Support00:14:17 - Conclusion: Attrition, Losses, and the Road Ahead#Documentary #Pokrovsk #Ukraine #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #globalcrisis Learn more about your ad choices.

  Greatest Ottoman Military Catastrophe - Great War DOCUMENTARY 18.09.2026 27min

Previously we covered the Rise of the Ottoman Empire from the humble beginnings as a small Turkic Beylik to the Fall of Constantinople 1453 covering all the major battles including (https://youtu.be/TDLmsiqhgns) and the reign of Mehmet II (https://youtu.be/TbqMBfxtOTI). By the outbreak of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire stood at the edge of collapse. Decades of military defeat, economic dependency, and territorial loss had reduced the once-dominant empire to what European powers derisively called the “Sick Man of Europe.” This video explores how the Ottomans entered the Great War and traces their first, desperate campaigns across multiple fronts in 1914. We begin by examining the empire’s dire financial and industrial condition, the geopolitical pressures bearing down on Istanbul, and the failed attempts to secure protection from Britain and France. Forced into a fateful partnership with Germany, the Young Turk leadership gambled that war might reverse Ottoman decline. That gamble quickly escalated with the dramatic Goeben and Breslau incident and the Ottoman Black Sea raid, drawing the empire into open conflict with Russia, Britain, and France. The narrative then follows the opening battles of the war: the brutal fighting in the Caucasus during the Bergmann Offensive, Britain’s swift seizure of Basra in Mesopotamia, and the short-lived Ottoman move against Cheikh Said in the Red Sea. The episode culminates in the catastrophic Battle of Sarikamish, where Enver Pasha’s winter offensive ended in disaster, costing the Ottomans tens of thousands of men and setting the tone for a tragic war to come.Battle of Jutland https://youtu.be/BQRT4Hi7nA8Battle of Tsingtao https://youtu.be/-LRHW2E0rO0Battle of Coronel https://youtu.be/kWAiQrZ61gkBattle of Falklands https://youtu.be/0QzAxaO2LHsEastern 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_WkbaW5KfYwqTAxn08Video: Leif SickScript: Craig WatsonVO: Devin http://bit.ly/3XzSCgV & http://bit.ly/3GUO9iT✔ 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 - The “Sick Man of Europe”: Ottoman Decline on the Eve of WWI00:01:11 - An Empire on Empty: Debt, Industry Limits, and a Dangerous Map (1914)00:03:18 - Why Germany?

Did Charlemagne really rule without defeat — or was his legend carefully constructed? In this video, we explore how medieval history was written, shaped, and weaponized through the Annales Regni Francorum, the official annals of the Carolingian Empire. These sources present Charlemagne as an unstoppable, divinely favored ruler — but is that the full story? By looking beyond the official narrative, we uncover forgotten defeats, suppressed rebellions, and rival dynasties preserved in lesser-known sources known as the Minor Annals. Texts like the Annales Petaviani and Annales Nazariani reveal voices pushed to the margins: conspirators, defeated nobles, and regional elites who resisted Carolingian power. This video breaks down how medieval monks recorded history, why royal annals functioned as propaganda, what the official sources deliberately left out and how memory and power shaped the legacy of Charlemagne.Charlemagne's Army - https://youtu.be/PX5W6pA47ywCharlemagne’s Bloody War Against the Saxons - Verden Massacre: https://youtu.be/Rea-6g1v_JkWhat Everyone Gets Wrong About Feudalism: https://youtu.be/WFlIKK8uBOoWhy Was Italy so Fragmented in the Middle Ages?: https://youtu.be/L9m5kifZjhUWhy Was Germany so Fragmented in the Middle Ages: https://youtu.be/EiB8sMHxGqMWho is the Heir of Rome?: https://youtu.be/PHtaKsG2O-UThe video was made by Sebastiao Reis, while the script was written by Erik Wascheck, the video was narrated by Liam Taylor✔ 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.comSources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gRhpfYEwqRrokxLWyE7D_rFh1foNNjUDfdNCuCjYs5A/edit?usp=sharing00:00:00 – Did Charlemagne Ever Lose?
