Its crazy to think that as the Mamelukes and Mongols were facing off in Syria, the Samurai were holding off the Mongols on Kyushu, European Knights were fighting the Mongols in Hungary, Rajput and Turkic warriors were facing off against the Mongols in Punjab, and the Dai Viet were ambushing Mongol invasions outside of Hanoi.

Baybars was an underrated warrior. He deserves much more credit

Georgian and Arminian Christians fighting the Muslim Mamluks with the Mongols for a century. Then the Mongols converted to Islam. Georgians : 😮

Mongols and Mamluks: fight near Homs Homs population: oh sh*t, here we go again

After the Mongol series is over, will you do a series on Timur who was basically a highly successful Mount and Blade protagonist.

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.

The sun won't come up Timurrow.

Who else smiled when they heard the name of Khalid bin Al-Waled at 4:43

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 !

It's amazing how long the Mongols persisted in the Levant despite their losses at the edges of Palestine and Egypt.

Excellent as usual guys. Thanx!

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.

I just love how Qalawun's on top of the hill, chilling with his bois while his left flank collapses and routs around him

"More Mongols were killed in flight than in the actual battle." Isn't that how almost every battle worked in those days?

Mongols: "We've conquered China, Russia and Persia- our hordes are invincible!" Mamluks: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."

As an Egyptian, I think the Mamluks were the best dynasty to rule Egypt. They defeated the Mongols and Crusaders and built many great things and Egypt was the center of the Islamic world.

May Allah reward Our Kipchak sultan Beybaris, his work done for entire ummah of Islam 🇰🇿♥️🇪🇬

Mongols: "You can't defeat me" Abbasids: "No. But he can" Mamelukes: ANGRY KIPCHAK NOISES
