  • @xxTeutonicKnightxx You can say whatever you want about the Mongols and Western Europe, but the fact remains that they didn't attempt because of the great Khan Ogedei dying and it was part of their "sacred" law to return to Mongolia. Tsubotai (the brilliant General responsible for Mongol's success in Europe, Asia and Middle east) WANTED to invade Western Europe and the holy Roman Empire, but everybody else declined the offer. This was the only period when Europeans were hanging by a thread.

  • Europe was saved by luck, not by might or tactic.

    by Russia, not luck , idiot. they conquered it and decided not to mess with europe

  • The Center of the Mongol Empire was in China.

  • thats my country- mongolia- bitches

  • Also bullshit that the tutonic knights never rarely lost to the Lithuanians, polish and "Russ" or Russians one Russia rarely fought the knights and Poland was mostly allied to the knights or never fought in the first place. Lithuania was the main fighter of the knights and the managed to forge the greatest duchy of all time and almost wipe out the knights at the same time.

  • These videos don't detail how after the failure of the catholic army's the organization of pagan lords to create the country of Lithuania which pushed out the Mongols later on in the 14th century and fought the tutonic knights and succeeded in defeating them and survived the onslaught of 2 crusades and eventually tuck 3 empires to finally take Lithuania over. (Russia, Prussia, and Austria.) In essence western europe owes it's freedom to Lithuania.

  • @idricool mongols never have defeated the west

  • Westerners are so fucking arrogant.

    I am a Muslim Arab and I admit that Arabs were heavily defeated by Mongolians until Mameluke defeated them at Ain Jalut.

  • @ninja909 And "retreating" doesn't necessarily imply the enemy's ingenuity or inferiority. Sometimes the best tactic is to retreat. Many great generals throughout history as employed this manuver. But yes the heavily forested lands of Western Europe would most likely prove to be a greater challenge for the Mongols.

  • @ninja909 The biggest reason why the Huns and Mongols weren't the same was the leader. People tend to forget that the Mongol Invasions (prior to Ogedei's Death) was under Tsubotai. He directed more than twenty campaigns in which he conquered thirty-two nations and won sixty-five pitched battles, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history.

    I'm not the one adhering to conspiracy, it's people like you who are. History is history.

  • @VanillaSnow23 I really don't care about your conspiracies.

    it had written the mongols almost retreated at one point. I'd say they were superior in dedication more than anything else.
