In the new Kings and Generals full animated historical documentary, we will describe the second phase of the Muslim expansion into the Eastern Roman and Sassanid Empires. In the aftermath of the battles of Yarmouk and al-Qadisiyyah ( • Early Muslim Expansion... ), the Rashidun Caliphate continued its conquests and the Arab armies moved into Iran proper, Egypt, Anatolia, and North Africa. The remainder of Iraq, Syria, and the Levant was conquered in this era. This video features the late campaigns of Khalid ibn al-Walid, as well as the battles of Ctesiphon, Alexandria, Nikiou, Jerusalem, Sufetula, Heliopolis, and Nahavand. We also attempted to describe the early Muslim armies that fought against the Byzantine and Iranian forces.

We are already working on the third and final season of this series. Our hope is that you enjoyed this feature-length episode - we added a section on the early Muslim army, improved maps, fixed mistakes. Your likes, comments, and shares are appreciated. Thank you for watching!
Very nice

I love this series
Better than any netflix history documentary
Your name really is guzel :)

@@malolelei3937 thanks dude. Where are you from ? You have been in turkey i guess.
Better than any documentary series.
37:45 *A significant piece of detail here:* Umar, the ruler of the Muslim Empire, traveled to Jerusalem, not with a royal entourage of servants and guards, but with a _single servant_ and _one riding camel_ . During the journey, Umar and his servant took *alternating turns* ; riding the camel and *walking* . Umar wore simple, coarse clothes; *none* could have distinguished between the *ruler* and the *servant* . As he approached Jerusalem, it so happened that the servant was on the camel and the Caliph was walking alongside. The servant had pleaded with Umar to ride instead, but he refused. Someone had earlier advised Umar ibn Al-Khattab to wear luxurious robes befitting of a Caliph entering Jerusalem, his replay was "we derive our strength and status from our faith in Islam, and not from any dress."
Thanks for the information i appreciate it
Yes, and "The Secret History" of genghis Khan is 100% fact with no embellishment or hyperbole 🙄🤦♂️
Yeah sure 😂😂😂😂
@@First-Last_name except historians unanimously agree on the above story.
@@zafran20 they don't..... Having few sources except the person who had it written themselves is rarely regarded as fact. Hannibal at the gates of Rome and the battle of cane is popular in history. Yet many historians agree that 1 historian who wrote about it 70+ years later and no archaeological evidence support it, means it likely never happened or was embellished. Viking mythology is another 1. It was all written by a German who never visited Scandinavia almost 100 years after the end of the Viking age. A lot of written history isn't exactly objective fact.
This is how history lessons should be taught.this turns history from boring subjects into interesting and engaging stories, while containing valuable information.
The thing is that modern lessons are build upon student interaction students are supposed to form the basis of the lesson with teachers giving input. If you want story times we are back to lectures from the front of the classroom which is besides the point. Videos like these or the teacher telling stories can only be part of a lesson. How much do you still know from the video now that one month is passed? information retention and the development of competences are often less with videos or teaching from the front. Also these videos have the inherent benefit that you chose this topic and to watch this video. This means that you have an inherent interest. It is quite often the case that the same topics are seen as "boring" by others or even the same people just in another context like school since it is culturally expected that school is "boring" teachers" have way more work to do to win their "audience" over.
Yup, always good to read between the lines though. We often forget alexander the great was both merciful and brutal. He oversaw the enslavement and murder of many in his conquests, but conquered a huge empire. But later historians often chose to make him a hero.
@X73RM Well the muslim expansion is part of the current curriculum in all states I am aware of. On top of that comes that fact that the topics for history lessons are pretty much all eurocentric and that there simply isn't enough time to go through all of history in detail.
@X73RM That's from the "Kernlehrplan NRW" "Sachkompetenz Die Schülerinnen und Schüler • beschreiben die Begegnung von Kulturen im maurischen Spanien als Beispiel für ein gelungenes Miteinander von Christen, Juden und Muslimen, • beschreiben die Begegnung der Kulturen während der Kreuzzüge unter Berücksichtigung des Alleingültigkeitsanspruches der Religionen. Urteilskompetenz: Die Schülerinnen und Schüler können • beurteilen und bewerten die Kreuzzüge aus zeitgenössischer christlicher und muslimischer Sicht sowie aus heutiger Perspektive." So there is room and and the encouragement to talk about aspects of the golden age of Islam. It is not that in depth, but no topic in history really is that in depth in school. And compared to other cultures like the Chinese, Hindu, South East Asian, African or precolonial American cultures, the history of Islamic culture at least is mentioned and discussed.
@X73RM I study to become a teacher yeah.
A subtle detail….AMR IBN AL’AAS and KHALID IBN AL WALEED where best friends of each other and they spent their youth together in Mecca living the good life as both were sons of rich men of the Quraish tribe…the coincidence was also that after many years they became Muslim at the same time…when KHALID was heading for the Prophet in Medina to accept ISLAM…on his way to Medina he encountered AMR and both were amazed to encounter each other there on the path that they knew would change their lives for good. It’s amazing to me that both the men after the passing of the prophet with many years have been such successful generals in their military campaigns

Words can not describe how great this documentary is. I was really amazed how you could combine all these battles and events in an interesting way and a perfectly accurate chronological order, putting in mind that it all happened in a relatively narrow period of time and a vast geographical range with one of the most complicated and crucial times in the history.

57:50 It’s not that Omar was afraid that people will worship Khalid (that is an exaggeration) Omar was afraid that the army will connect victories to Khalid and yet losing faith after his death
May Allah curse Khalid ibn Walid who killed Malik ibn Nuwairah and raped his wife.
@@amranxtv3261 seems like you like Malik so much lol
@@amranxtv3261 May Allah curse you for cursing a companion of the Prophet ﷺ
@@amranxtv3261 how do u know that are nuwairas wife ?
@@mfayz980 And what of the person he killed who was also a companion of Muhammed. Khalid killed Malik and enslaved his wife. This angered Umar greatly that he went up to Khalid and broke the arrows on his turban and threatened to stone him. Abu Bakr even paid money to the family of Malik which is admitting fault. Khalid was a hypocrite Muslim. Just because he won many battles, does not mean you should idolize him.
"Amr had Alexandrias walls demolished, and in his own words, like the house of an adultres, accessible from all sides" Man they had jokes 1450 yrs ago 🤣😭🤣
Fun anecdote: Arabs were big on humour and poetic justice, with a primarily verbal culture. Poetry face-offs, debates, or roasts were the norm. Writing was hard in the desert bc of a lack of materials (leather), and paper wouldn’t arrive from China until they left Arabia.
@@adambensaid9990 The Arabs had rap battles before it was mainstream
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious
@Roads Were Meant for Journeys When I wrote about poetic culture, I did so as an academic who's published in peer-reviewed ranked journals on the subject, so I take exception to the blanket 'ahistorical' dismissal. Arabs were Bedouins, and vibrant oral traditions among Bedouins and nomads is hardly something to be contested unless you have proof to the contrary. Regarding Philip the Arab and the Palmyrene empire, there's far more established literature that justifies, explains and studies the formation of Islamic religious heritage in the context of Arab culture without attributing it to Roman or Christian influence. Similarities between all Abrahamic religions prove a common eschatological framwork, not plagiarism as an often imperially-geared orientalist movement would suggest in making it a point to try and disprove, undermine or dismiss a faith group. Something unique to Western discourse on Islam. So what's your point bro, and please be specific if you want to have a discussion.
Amr made many adulres jokes probably because his mother was one in pre-islamic Makkah.
Khalid Al-walid kicked SOOO much rear-end and this video once again gives credit. I can't even image how much work it is making a 2.5 hours animated video. Very very good work. I watch a LOT of informative videos and I tell my history buff friends about your channel. Keep up the excellent work, please.
Thank you So much...in 2004 as a teenager, studying this subject from as many resources as possible, to help understand how it could might have been made possible... I always wanted to make a detailed movie about this anomaly... watching this movie, made me the admire the hard work that went in there, as the crazy details are mentioned from the tactical perspectives in visual format is exactly what a historical movie should be all about. Thank you again and Goosebumps as accuracy is to the point. God bless!
Im from Southern Portugal and here we have a common word called "Rasia" = sounds like "Razia" , and it means: to pillage, take by force and devastation. Im astonished we inherited such an Arabic word from the time of Al-Andalus. Awesome xD
Many Palestinians were settled in southern Spain and Portugal, they brought citrus and olive trees. Greetings from Palestine
A lot of fights during that time were razias or skirmishes between cavalry by both armies. In southern iberia that was common due to the open plains you find in Alentejo and Andaluzia being a bit similar to north africa
@@thelaziestguyuveverknown yeah spain was a hot mess until al-andalus kind of started taking form
@@muksimulmaad7413 no. Spain formed when most of the Kingdoms of the reconquista united, except Portugal. It has little more than 500 years. Before andaluz you had the Visigothic Kingdom, which had inherited most of the administration and language from the Romans
@@thelaziestguyuveverknown True we had the visigothic kingdom before, but they were very decentralised and didn't stand a chance against the umayyad expansion into the Iberian Peninsula. When the visigoths kicked the Romans out of Iberia the region lost a lot of infrastructure, tax order and production output (vineyards, olive oil plantations, etc). In not an historian, don't quote me on this ;)
Maan , khalid bin velid is my hero💪🇹🇷 Even i am Turkish and we consider us sefl as warriors and army fighters but khalid bin velid is for me numero uno 💪🇹🇷 We as Turks think abiut khalid bin velid as a sword of Allah adn the Turks are the army of Allah So its not that far from each other .. But khalid was a sahaba soo to match khalid u need more than to be a Türk and army .. Lets not forget khalid never lost a war and died in bed in sour that he didnt die in batle in hes body there was no place left that didnt have scare sword sparrow arrows knifes and so on.. He was basicly tatttod with scares .. I could talk about day and night abiut khalid and he wouldnt fit Every Turkish soldiers must must read khalid bin velids life and live it as a soldier 💪🇹🇷
Bro I think whole Muslim world knows there can't b any greater warrior/ general then Khalid bin Walid RA...that's why he is sowrd of Allah N he truly is the only undefeated general in the history of mankind n he won countless battles which were just impossible to win... Western historians don't consider him the greatest of all time bcoz of dere bias only but they even regard in him top 3

What an excellent, Netflix-like documentary. I'm a huge fan of your page. Other than his masterful military strategy, Khalid Ibn Alwaleed also relied heavily on intelligence and spies to understand his enemy and the geography of the battlefield. This gave him a strategic edge.

The history witnessed those riders (4000 at max), uniformed and organized by Great Khalid bin Waleed as the most furious, fastest and fearless riders of the world. Most of the times they hardly waited for the main Army, fought with the whole opponent strength, singlehandedly and tore them apart. There leader was famous for his upper body part naked as he believed that the armour is a hindrance to his speed.
Heliopolis commander : "Impossible! , How did you get inside my city!?, I closed all the gates!". Muslim warrior : "The window was open". Heliopolis commander : "God damn it, Who left the window open!?". Defender : " But it was providing a nice cool breeze mi 'lord".

I think this generation of men was nothing short of incredible. No formal military training, yet consistently excelling on the field of battle. Literally, “Companions” of the Prophet (pbuh), reminiscent of Alexander’s favourite unit. The unique ability to accept anyone into the fold of faith even after a battle, and the role of laws of war and equal citizenship helped them significantly in battle. Also, expanding so far with such slow communications makes all of this all the more impressive strategically.

38:45 It's not apocryphal; where did you guys get this information? The citizens of Jerusalem welcomed Umar and the governor even prepared a grand event for it. There is an entire excerpt/narration of what occurred when Umar first stepped foot in Jerusalem, and he was met with admiration and surprise. Additional info : A lot of these records actually fit the Roman narrative as well. The Roman citizens were also the one to testify that the Rashidun conquests were almost bloodless outside the battlefields. EDIT : It seems that the author might've confused the Umar from the Pact of Umar II with Umar Ibn Khattab
Politics.
They did mention their sources in the first part of this,majorly muslims tho' got mixed up with some other things..you can check that out in the pinned comment I believe
If you bias your sources to muslim sources only, of course you'll want your narration to be the one considered. This is history, not islam
@@waqarqureshi8560 But this isn't even from Muslim sources only. Sophronius, governor of Roman Palestine, gave the keys to Jerusalem to Umar ibn Khattab. It being apocryphal is literally invented history and makes me uncomfortable because K&G continues to unacademically be biased against Muslims occasionally. Ironically if you don't want Muslim sources to be considered, then you are biased against Islamic history.
Very well put merciful guard... i like ur cmnt..keep it up
Special thanks for those who produced such a great documentary. Really useful. Knowing about the history with this level of accuracy
I am amazed at how the Islamic Arab armies were able the muster, arm, feed and maintain large armies in fields that were practically all deserts.
That's it they wasn't large armies
Almost all of the warriors are volunteers, and many of them are ascetics. Their commanders, among them also political leaders, are always the most pious, always participate in combat, and the most hardcore of ascetics. They are voluntarily poor as they love to donate all of their personal wealth to the cause of the state & its people, and at times would go on to routinely fast with only the sustenance of unfathomably little provisions. The Rashidun Caliphate armies do not need the kind of recruitment/incentivizing, feeding, and maintaining that all other armies need, and that is because of their impeccable faith. It is a difficult reality to fathom, as us people of "modern" times have grown comfortable with lavishness and abundant amenities. P.S. yes there were still wealthy merchants during their rule, as their empire is relatively prosperous. It is just that they cannot abuse their wealth to acquire power (like how the modern world is now), and the appointed leaders are selected based upon the merit of piety, wisdom, and knowledge. So much so that most of them (the leaders) are compelled to practice incredible degrees of asceticism voluntarily. Their empire is practically led by individuals with superhuman willpower and wisdom.

During the birth of an empire, armies tend to be unstoppable
If they wouldnt, the empire would not take birth
@@7gromojar Logic 100000%
Wow why didn't i think of that
but this was the birth of a religion and a prophet that came to spread the truth God revieled on all his prophets thats why they were literally unstoppable , when you know the Truth nothing can stop you . thats why historians were shocked by the accomplishments of the early arab Muslims
@@JustaSimpleComplexSyrian Completely agree
Thanks you ,Kings and Generals for your dedication in this video.
Keep it up this is an amazing video man!
Taking on the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire at the same time 🔥
But Fallen By Orthodox Church(Authentic Christianity) With wiping out Ottomans, It took Authentic Christians in Retaliating without being Barbaric just a Few years to wipe out Barbarics Ottomans. Orthodox No expansion unlike Islam and Western Christianity absolutlely by Sword and Bark Religion of Peace, Comedy of the whole Mankind
@@jikkuabraham6243 No sword no expansion you say , This is a good joke But Let me tell you that Neither The Ottomans nor the Caliphates Forced any one to be a Muslim this is a point . In the same time you can't find any place in euorpe without Christians being the majority, I will tell you why When the Roman Empire had chosen Christianity Its Emperor and everyone after him forced the people to convert Such as the frankish Kingdom who killed everyone refused Christianity Or for example the teutonic order Which forced the northern Europeans to convert to Christianity And let alone the Spanish Inquisition Who forced the Muslims to convert to Christianity or Die , If this Wasn't Barbarian I don't Know what it is Or by Colonization Who forced the Natives to Convert to Christianity . And the Orthodox You say wasn't Expanding and forcing Orthodox another good Joke You Forget about The eastren Romans and the Russians Who forced all their lands to be Orthodox, Learn History And About The Sword , If we didnot Conquer Who will tell The other peoples about Islam and If you tell me That is by Sword is not peace , Remember The Sword means the Strength and Islam is the strongest Religion If Islam was Barbaric then We wouldnot See 10 million Egyptian Christian and the Whole Christian Balkan Today . Islam is a Strong Religion and Not Weak And If you tell me that ISIS is and not .... I will tell you tbeir Name actually is The Khawarij Not ISIS and We Fought them Even from the Days of the Rashidun caliphate Islam is The Religion of Peace is Right and the Religion of Strength and Justice Also . And one Day The Caliphate will Rise again

The 300 Spartans story is as fake as can be my friend
Some might say myth
@@vasilykatuma5689its not like the muslim arabs were resting waiting for the Romans to get weak or something dont forget the arabs were going though the greatest wars in there history the prophetic conquests and rida wars which in arab sources were extremely brutal because it was hard to get rid of the tribal systeme so if anybody had the right to use the "they were tired" or "they were unorganized" argument it was the muslim arabs, those empires had every advantage possible and nonetheless lost in the most humiliating way possible that's a fact
@@Uncharted1911 i mean there were only just 300 spartans and then they had like a few thousand other greek dudes

Amazing history retold. Thank you K&G!
Man this is one of the best top channel. No gimmicks on the "DETAILS" . 5 STAR from me
This is why a big empire requires religious tolerance/room for pluralism. If byzantines hadn't allowed hardline patriarchs to influence their policies so much the locals wouldn't all have run to join the arabs and pay the tax for religious freedom.
A democratic church of demos was pluralistic. The church choose the king. Kings wasn't like western countries from the father to son. The taxes was a big problem because needs millions to keep soldiers all around the "empire",that wasn't empire. They didn't have slaves,diversity of race. Common religion is a choose. The truth was Jesus christ. So Greeks follow the truth not the religion. Religions and dogmatic ppl are fanatics without open minds
@@katerinamakedoniaGreece the problem is every kaesar need legitimacy from crook bishop and pathriac. And that's not so cheap.
Heavy armors demand heavy taxes
not just religious freedom, Jizyah also provides the basic protection and etc.
Oneway or the another it always fall. Mongols had religious freedom but they didn’t last long.

This work is always so entertaining and informative. Thank you for your work and effort
This is absolutely amazing. Better than actual movies or documentaries.
Whenever Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas(R.A) is mentioned i remember his role at Battle of Uhud where Prophet PBUH said to him: Shoot an arrow, Sa'd! May my mother and father be taken as ransom for you!
Then he said “hey let’s spread our religion if peace by bathing in the blood of thousands!”
@@samwisegamgee8318 Indonesia, Malaysia, Yemen, Somalia and many other countries disagrees with you😆 also not to forget Turkey(at that time Turkic Tribes). Nice try tho Besides, did christians spread their religion by giving flowers to Native Americans and Africans😁
@@sali3492 all Islamic nations from later on that joined after the Islamic community was powerful and had something to offer. You can argue Christian militancy was brought on by a response to Muslim aggression starting with the crusades (an act of self defense by the eastern Romans to protect and reclaim their lands). It was only after Muslim aggression that Christendom was driven to adopt the sword on a large scale to protect their ways of life (similar to the red scare with US history). Obviously speaking generally here, but you get my point.
@@sali3492 also quick double comment to mention that most if not all new world atrocities were by rogue strong men like Pizzaro and Cortez going against the orders of the monarchy in harming the natives. I guarantee you those dudes weren’t Christian. The church leaders actually advocated for the better treatment of locals to little avail.
@@samwisegamgee8318 Great excuses for the christians! U will even say those who killed 50.000 muslims and J... were not real christians. Always excuses for christians
This is probably the greatest historical documentary on this part of history that I've ever seen. I really hope you continue this, because I seriously believe that these videos are invaluable to teaching history and battle tactics.
Insane quality. Love you guys so much 👑
Great video, thanks for putting in the work on this.
Yes it’s back I love this series
@Black Wolf I am a history fan and I know this but it doesn't really matter rn
@Black Wolf dude what does this even have to do with the original comment, man’s was literally just excited to see this series return
@Abdullah Bhatti islam is already bad without slavery 😅 thats why i left it 5 years ago
@Black Wolf do a research carefully and find out which religion, race or ethnicity that have killed more people in the history of mankind. All Roman conquest, Crusades, Western colonialism, WWI, WWII, Afghan War, Iraqi war, etc. Even maybe the Mongols have killed more people than Islamic conquest. Not all Islamic spread were done by sword if you just do a research carefully without bias
@Black Wolf "slaves constituted a lower social class, clearly separated from the free. ". never heard of the Mamluks sultanates ?
This documentary is stupendous. Entertaining, wonderfully narrated, top work guys

Arabian horses played a crucial role in the Arab expansion
@Darth Jedi Provincia Arabia was actually the food basket of the Roman empire, and its most important and influential province. Many emperors came from Provincia Arabia
Paleogenomic evidence supports the contribution of ancient Persian lineages during the early formation of Arabian & European breeds.

“Convert or Pay Jizyah or War !” Such supreme type of diplomacy.
Ha ha ☺️
fun fact : the Jizyah they paid was less than the Sadaqat and Zakas Muslims pay
@@JustaSimpleComplexSyrian So it's basically an elaborate scam. Because if they convert A. Yay more muslims B. More money Lol sounds about right
@@tada-kun982 B could be useless its only a payment for protection just a tax for non Muslims and the taxes Muslims pay is higher than what the non Muslims pay so it is A- become Muslims ( being Muslims means you also have to pay for the poor and do zakah) B- dont become Muslim and dont fight , but pay money in return for your protection and services . or C- War . i think the point of option B is to make sure that if they become Muslims they do not become Muslims because of the motive of money , because if they care about money more than their faith they would choose B all time everytime , unless they actually sincerely wanna become Muslims then they will Choose A i think its a smart way to make sure nobody is a fake Muslim out of fear of death or Taxes .
@@tada-kun982 Not scam. The jizyah assured the responsibility upon the Islamic state so that they are obligated to protect the rights of the non-Muslims Saying that is a scam means that every form of taxation we have in the modern world is even worse, because our taxes exceedingly higher than the jizyah.
