I'm so happy you guys are covering this. Baybars is one of the most underrated people in history. He was one of the most capable people I've ever read about.
Well said. Without the immense energy and atenttion of Baybars and his personal efforts (we only touched it slightly here) it is tough to imagine the Mamluks having such success again and again. A lesser leader would have, for instance, been overwhelmed and surrounded quickly during the Elbistan campaign.
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory There was the whole shadow war between Baybars and Abagha, where Baybars used spies to irk Abagaha. There was constant training for troops, etc. Maybe K&G will make a video about him one day. I'd glady help.

Turkic Baybars and Sultan Kutuz were too good tacticians and knew mongol tactics too well. In addition to that Baybars had a strong will to take personal revenge for his slaughtered family. About Baybars there should be a movie, read his biography, it's unbelievable. His Parents and sister were burned by Mongols in front of his 5 year old eyes in Anatolia, kept as a slave and sold in Cairo. There he became a slave soldier, where he later took over the whole state and revenge from the Mongols while he became the first one who defeated them, what he repeated in 6 further battles. He defeated also the Cruisaders in the same time, who should never come back after that. Later he was such a cool person, that he did let announce himself as dead and spent his very last years anonymous in his home town in Anatolia where he was captured as a child, as a civilian. Favourite historical figure !
baybairs was a kipchak turk not a oghuz Turk. He was from the steppes of Eurasia
You need to take in mind that Baybars never faced the mongols in the their prime. Do you think the mamlukes/baybars would have still been standing if the original mongols attacked? I mean commanders like Genghis Khan and Sukuthai? Sukuthai I believe is looked as one of the best generals ever lived and had a big part of why Mongols managed to conquer half the world. Mongols weakness was for example that they had to run home if a khan died and such. I believe sukuthai was very deep into europe and very successful but had to go home because he got called home.
Why do you ( Anatolian Turks ) like to insert yourself in anything related to other Turkic and steppe ethnic groups? Baybars had nothing to do with Anatolia, he was from the eastern Iranian plateau and was raised in Egypt.

@Gladius pax I don't think religion had anything to do with it. Throughout history countries has always exploited their rival's weaknesses. Even Muslims did it to other Muslims. Christians did it to other Christians. It's just politics tbh. Just proves that Berke knew politics well. And the whole burning of Baghdad thingy was just a casus belli. EDIT: Also Berke actually supported Ariq Boke in the Toluid civil war while the Ilkhanate supported Kublai. So Berke had every reason to fight the Ilkhanate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluid_Civil_War
Glenn Krenz Genghis Khan? Very doubtful. Hulagu maybe. Though it may just have been pressure from his Christian wife
@Gladius pax They typically incorporated many skilled workers and works of knowledge into their realms afterwards... it's not like they were causing destruction for no reason...
Jevin Liu Well they did exterminated 40% of world population not including the Black Death which was spread by mongols when they launched dead bodies with catapults as chemical weapons. Mongol invasion was a world disaster.

@Zlatan you are talking like mamluke were all the time United. Mongols were too big to be United.
@Zlatan the mamlukes decisively defeated the mongols in several battles. (like in the battles of Marj al-Saffar 1303, ain jalut, 2nd homs, elbistan ect). in some, the mamlukes were greatly outnumbered by the mongols and still beat them. like in the legendary battle of marj al saffar. mongol rule was pushed back and started to significantly decline. such repetitive defeats can't be explained just by saying "mongols were devided" , especially given that the mongols had still much bigger resources and numbers than the mamlukes. you're just a jealous loser who don't wanna admit the glory the Muslim believers.

Abdullah Shah Says the intellectual who thinks that arabs live only in arab peninsula...or that arab is a race :/
Abdullah Shah Syrians are arabs now, what you call aramaic and arabic are not races bit ethnic groups, you mix the two and that’s wrong. They belong to the semitic race with the J haplogroup. Egyptions are mostly semitic with lesser african genes. They are even called the uncles of ismaelites arabs. Since the wife of abraham was egyption. That makes the difference between them and jews actually. Yet they all semitic people. and all speak Arabic as native language which makes them arabs. If i have direct descendant from genkhis khan, it doesn’t mean I’m mongol now. I’m racially, culturally and languistically arab. Like egyptions, syrians. And iraqis Also many arabian tribes went to live With all these people and mixed with them. So we’re talking jewish, aramiaic egyptions arab mix, that makes arabs since arab is the dominant ethbic group and arabic is the main language. Some people have discontent with that. Yet it doesn’t change this fact.
Abdullah Shah Never said that speaking arabic only makes you arabic The rest if your reply is just wrong. Genetics, culture, language, religion, even geopolitics and government systems. Social movements...all is direct impact of arab islamic conquests and migrations, your name is abdullah yet i agree that it doesn’t make you arab for sure. Guess what ? I’m berber
Berke soon became a devout Muslim. His conversion resulted in the Blue Horde becoming primarily Muslim, although there were still animists and Buddhists among them. Berke was angered by Hulagu's destruction of Baghdad (as a Muslim) and was determined to deal with Hulagu Khan, who had murdered the Caliph Al-Musta'sim, and whose territorial ambitions in Syria and Egypt threatened Berke's fellow Muslims. Muslim historian Rashid-al-Din Hamadani quoted Berke Khan as telling his Mongols and Muslim subjects, in protest at the attack on Baghdad: "He (Hulagu) has sacked all the cities of the Muslims, and has brought about the death of the Caliph. With the help of God I will call him to account for so much innocent blood." (see The Mongol Warlords, quoting Rashid al-Din's record of Berke Khan's pronouncement; this quote is also found in The Mamluk-Ilkhanid War) Before his succession, he also complained to Batu "We helped Möngke to enthrone. But he forgot who the enemy is or friend is. Now, he is starving the lands of our friend Caliph. It is abject". It is notable that Berke Khan kept his promise, allying himself with the Mamluks, (Berke sought an alliance with the Mamluk sultan Baibars against Hulagu) and when Hulagu returned to his lands in 1262, after the succession was finally settled with Kublai as the last Great Khan, and massed his armies to avenge Ain Jalut and attack the Mamluks, Berke Khan initiated a series of raids in force which drew Hulagu north to meet him. This was the first open conflict between Mongols, and signalled the end of the unified empire.
While religion was a big part of the conflict, Berke was the son of Jochi, Hulagu, Mongke and Khublai the sons of Tolui. Hulagu had purged all Jochids and Ogedaids, from his army, so it's not as though this was solely over religion, its root goes back to the rivalry between Genghis Khan's sons.
Also because hulagu was hogging the wealthy southern lands of persia whilst the chagatai and golden hordes were stuck with large empty steppe and a few cities In fairness to the chagatai they did have there shot at india and if they had succeeded in conquering the delhi sultanate they too would have become as rich or even richer than hulagu Chagatai khanate would have ruled over the entire northern region of india with delhi as its capital It wouldn't be the first time turkic nomads did that since qutubiddin Aibak founder of the delhi sultanate and the first generation mamluk conquered the entire northern india
What helped to the alliance between Golden Horde and Mamluks is that most of Mamluks and Beibars himself were Kipchalks from the Golden Horde steppes. Supposedly, Beibars had ties with Golden Horde rulers through his relatives still living in Golden Horde. He himself was from the Ural Delta area near Golden Horde's capital Saraichik.

"More Mongols were killed in flight than in the actual battle." Isn't that how almost every battle worked in those days?
Yea for most of human warfare the high casualties didn't start until an army broke formation and ran.
Jacob Hartman Pretty much. Most of the casualties were sustained during the “rout” after an army’s formation had shattered and were in full retreat. That’s why battles where one side wins but doesn’t rout the enemy are often indecisive.

@@lastword8783 there certainly is thought that it was just propaganda: however, it was convincing enough that some top figures of the Mamluk (i.e governors in Syrian cities) believed. There was a bit more to it as well, that the Mamluk soldiers had also violated Muslim women during the raid, which is a rather believable thing for an army in any period. It was worth the chance to undermine the Mamluk defence from Ghazan's point of view either way. There was a Mamluk jurist in Damascus who did call out Ghazan for his hypocrisy when he took the city, since I'm sure his soldiers weren't much better.

This is the best channel on youtube! I really appreciate all the hard work ya'll have put into it. Amazing stuff!
love all of these mongol history videos. keep em coming, they're brilliant!
Excellent video as usual, just wish there was more about Berke Khan(the first muslim mongol)'s alliance with the Mamluks and his beef with Hulagu over the sack of Baghdad. Still excellent nonetheless
There is debate over how much of an alliance this actually was. Our sources for that come from the Mamluks themselves: had Temur not destroyed the Golden Horde's archives, we wonder how they might have depicted it. It's been suggested that they actually saw it as the Mamluks actually having submitted to the Jochids. Further, there doesn't seem to have been any tangible cooperation between Mamluk or Golden Horde armies. The most important consequences was keeping open Mamluk access to the slave markets of the Qipchaq steppe, and helped keep the Ilkhanate and Golden Horde from coming to peace terms more often. It seems Berke's religion may not have been as important a factor as often portrayed. Baghdad fell in 1258, but Berke did not go to war with Hulegu until the end of 1262. If he was upset about the sack of Baghdad, it was not an immediate casus belli, though it certainly may have contributed to Berke's distaste for his cousin. Hulegu's murder of Jochid princes, and clashing territorial claims over what is now modern Azerbaijan, with the vacuum in the authority of the Great Khan due to the war between Ariq Boke and Kublai, were likely the more direct factors leading to an outbreak of hostilities.

The Mamluks did not owe their victory over the Mongols to their own power alone. Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz quotes from a letter from Hülegü to King Ludwig IX. from France. In it the Mongol wrote that the grazing grounds in Syria were exhausted and that the troops could no longer be supplied. Last but not least, it was the ecological conditions of Syria and Palestine that set the limits of the Mongol towers. The small-scale landscapes of the Levant were simply too barren for their huge herds.
The Battle of Marj al-Saffar (or Marj al-Suffar), also known as the Battle of Shaqhab, took place on April 20 through April 22, 1303 between the Mamluks and the Mongols and their Armenian allies near Kiswe, Syria, just south of Damascus. The battle has been influential in both Islamic history and contemporary time because of the controversial jihad against other Muslims and Ramadan related fatwas issued by Ibn Taymiyyah, who himself joined the battle.[7] The battle, a disastrous defeat for the Mongols, put an end to Mongol invasions of the Levant. This battle was the final test when mongol were convinced that they would never be able to conquer Egypt as they brought their entire force and allies numbering about 100000 strong.

Can hear the glorious name 'Orhan Gazi'. Filled my heart.
I was waiting for this, now I’m getting impatient to get to the end! 🤓
Thank you so much for making this video. ♥️♥️♥️
A nicely informative video. Good job to whoever made this video a reality.
Mamluks: Finally we drive the Mongols away... A monk: After facing the Mongol invasion, nobody could've dreamed that a serious peril could ever rise from the east again. However, Timur-- Mamluks: Oh, come on! Medieval 2 Total War in a nutshell when you're playing as an eastern Muslim faction.
Playing as the Seljuks, its always a bitch and a half. But i've favored the Moors as they are my ancestors from the Spanish side as a Mexican.
Wonderful series on Mongols feels bad how their mighty realm came to an end.
Can't wait to see the next documentary
Great Content.Thanks for that.☺☺ I request you to make details documentaries about the Campaigns of Baibars,Saladin and Mahmud of Gazni.
*IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN...*
Good video, I did not know that the mamluks were so badass!
Yeah, for a century or two, they were the strongest empire of the region, checking the Ottomans, Mongols, various Iranian empires, Crusaders and others.
well spent time watching this video! Thank you Kings and Generals! ❤
Nice work put in..Thanks !!! 🥰🥰
One of the most fascinating aspects of all the videos on this channel, to me, is that records of this detail still exist nearly 800 years later for this specifically and much, much longer for some. I mean, I know the Greeks were keeping records 2000+ years ago and even to some extent, the Sumerians like 6000 years ago, but it is still amazing to me. It shows the need to keep records of things. It's crazy that we know such level of detail to know which flank did what, at what time of day things happened, when who retreated, number of casualties, seemingly every detail of the belligerents, and so on... But of all the amazing things we know about the past, imagine the things we don't know - from great civilizations that were conquered and nearly erased by the victors, minor civilizations that fell into disrepair/disrepute/etc, ones that didn't keep good record or records at all, ones from before keeping records was in fashion, etc. It boggles the mind. Also, I guess this is why this part of the world (Anatolia/Asian Minor) is so interesting to me - it was greatly influenced by and sandwiched between several major world powers - Europe/Christianity, the Arab world/Islam, Mongols who converted to Islam but also fought alongside European Christians, etc. A melting pot of the ancient world. And one final note, it's crazy how big the Aral Sea used to be and how small it is now. I remember reading about it's shrinkage when I was a kid.
funny that those who speak of the greek and Sumerian records or even Muslim battels deny the authenticity of the Hadeeth I'n Islam despite being astronomically more monitored and checked and studied and filtered
How do you know you can trust it?
Im a big fan of the series Dirilis Ertugrul and now i understand a little bit more about the overall politics of that era in Anatolia from watching this, thank you Kings & Generals!
You work seriously, Kings and Generals! Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
The battle of Marj Al-Saffar deserve its own video IMO.
Yep, it really does, i hope they make a single video including every Mongol offensive in 1300s
Marj al saffar @ 1303 is a very significant battle. The battle which occurred after the infamous fatwah of Ibn taymiyya
Amazing as always. How about battle of khandaq or battle of the trench, it's one of the hardest battle for Muslim.
not many reliable sources about what actually happenned. You might like it but it is hard to present a battle that is only in oral history with little archeaological evidence
It's hard to find which one is right. Some people tell this story a bit different. So, I don't know what happened back then. Is it low casualties for both side? How Muslim survive that battle facing quraisy in front of them, and Jewish behind them?
Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
You're videos are always superb. My buddy just bought me a nice bottle of liquor just for telling him about your channel. So i guess thanks for the liquor and the great content lol.
Notification squad here ❤ Beautiful as always
I love this channel so much! Great Job guys!!!!! 😊
The Golden Horde seemed to be the most stable Mongol Empire break away, making it a formidable force to reckon with.
This is awesome information, your videos remind me of a childhood game I played called the Age of Empires! Best computer game ever!
4:30 to 5:10 this section included multiple things that are pleasing to hear!
Brilliant as always ! it would be great if you guys did the Battles of stamford bridge and Hastings.
Thanks! Will consider!
The Egyptians had a large population and could have mobilized major infantry armies, but they opted for cavalry only. Just like the Mongols. The tactical lesson that I learned from this video is to never ever have a slower army than your enemy if he is mounted or mechanized. Going up against the Mongols with large infantry units is almost like not having an army at all.
the terrain made infantry heavy armies pointless. Marching for days in the Sinai desert would be insane.
@@SantomPh exactly. And also let me revise my statement. The Vietnamese obviously nibbled and gradually destroyed Mongols invaders by skillfully employing their infantry as skirmishers. But as you said, that does not work out in open plains or in the desert.
Çünkü ordu atlı okçu olan aynı zamanda zırhlı olan Türk süvarilerden oluşuyordu mısırın yerli halkı orduda kullanılmıyordu.
Great. Please carry on your good work. And i already requestéd that kindly make docomentry on indo pak wars
*Islamic Ilkhanate* Genghis Khan : ama i joke to you guys
The Mongols came to destroy Islam but became Muslims themselves.Allah works in mysterious ways.
@@Ali-sh6kh Same thing can be said about many different religions where something similar happened. Animism is a weak religion compared to religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The Mongols today are primarily Buddhists, so much for Allah keeping his flock.
@Ali , No.. Only small portion of Mongols are Muslim. Today 90% Mongols are Buddhists.
@@chucktowne i think he means the mongols who settle in Mesopotamian and all Ilkhante and the golden horde and even Chagatai Khanate domain, the mongol of actual Mongolia were under the fourth mongol part the yuen dynasty, who were affected more by the Chinese culture.
@তৈমুর লং My whole point is that Islam isn't the only religion to overtake the Mongols or any other religions. Christianity overthrew almost every religion in Europe and the Americas, the same thing happened in Asia and Africa with different religions. So its not just Islam.
man,u took me through a time machine.
Good :-)
Love the quality of these videos
Thanks!
Great video
Berke Khan had become a Muslim and was devastated by the sack of Baghdad by Hulugu Khan.Berke Khan launched attacks on Hulugu and stuck an alliance with the Mamluks.
Islam was a power within itself that whoever embraced it was unstoppable be he Arab, turkic or Mongolian
great videos thanx..
Such delight to watch your videos !
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Keeps getting better
Thanks!
Always makes me emotional whenever I watch these videos about our defeat against the Mamluks but heh, we still had a good and memorable run x)
Doni Bathuu why destroy chinese wall ??
No problem bruh, everyone had their good days and bad days
You can always remember, that your greatest losses were all to the Muslims. The Mamluks of Egypt and Delhi.
Precisely just when I'm in the mood for more K&G, Here you are!
Oooh, i think next video will be very very interesting 😊
I’m later than my first date 😁, Another great video Kings 👍
I wish there was more discussion on the life of Baybars and the general formation of the Mamluk Sultanate
@@Judge_Magister that little man would run away and leave his troops in the lands of Muhammad Ali
@علي ياسر he’s Cassius Clay to me
I’m from Georgia thank you for this video 👏🏼
Ooo nice tease about the Timurids, one of my favorite historic figures ever, Tamerlane. :)
Mamaluks won because mongols were far from their strong base in Mongolia and China. While Mamaluks were near their hom in Cairo, easy supplies and men power when you are closer to your home base
Hulagu Khan's Ikhanate was in Persia not China Kublai Khan had Khan Baliq in China, the real reason for the Mongol defeat is because Hulagu Withdrew the bulk of his forces to Persia in Tabriz, soon after the Mongol Muslim Khan Berke waged a war against him, this engaged the Bulk of his forces so the Battle between Mongols and Mamleukes was even both having 20,000 Men each, Baibars however smashed the Mongols killed Hulagu Khan's best man Kitbuqa as well as the Majority of their forces.
