a rare Mongol loss on the battlefield

was followed up by an effective and

brutal retaliation such as the triumph

of jalal al-din shah of the core as me

an empire shortly before his empires

destruction the kagan's that succeeded

genghis khan continued to expand the

empire during the reign of the 4th

mongol Kagen

monka the country of die viet was

invaded

the Mongol sent three envoys to the dive

yet requesting free passage through

their territory to attack the song

Chinese from an alternate front these

envoys were imprisoned the Mongols then

invaded defeated the Vietnamese in open

battle and seized their capital city the

viet s-- adopted a scorched-earth policy

destroying all usable pasture farmland

and other strategic resources

surrounding their occupied capital city

in no time the Mongols and their horses

were starving additionally many began to

contract malaria and suffer from the

unfamiliar humid climate as they

withdrew their force was harassed

ambushed and directly attacked causing

massive casualties

despite this victory the dive yet now

realized the significant threat the

Mongols posed to their existence

consequently

they began paying the Mongols tribute in

1260 in the hopes of appeasing Mongol

wrath which it did for a time their

respite was also aided by the unexpected

death of the great kong Lanka which

triggered events that led to civil war

amongst the Mongols at the time of his

death in the West Mongol armies had just

defeated the Seljuk Turks and sacked

Baghdad destroying the city and mass

Karina's population the ancient cities

of Damascus and Aleppo were taken mangu

envoys were then sent to demand the

surrender of the Mamluk Sultanate of

Egypt

the last great Islamic power left

standing

the envoys were beheaded and dismembered

putting Egypt in a do-or-die situation

the Mamluks were an elite class of slave

soldiers who had overthrown their former

masters and established a new dynasty

based out of Cairo Egypt the Khan Hulagu

who commanded the Mongol armies of the

West receive news of the great Khan's

death and a summons to return to the

Mongol capital of Karakoram to

participate in a curl tie to pick the

next Great Khan he redeployed the

majority of his army by the caspian sea

to graze recuperate and gather supplies

during the hottest months of the

middle-eastern summer while a smaller

force of 10,000 Mongols was left behind

to hold the northern Levant until his

return as this force continued to raid

southwards the Mamluk seized the

opportunity and counter-attack the

Mongols the two armies met at the Battle

of ein jalut during the battle the

Mamluks used their superior knowledge of

the terrain to lure the Mongols into a

trap the majority of the Mamluk army

remained hidden until the Mongols were

in a constricted area where their

superior mobility was of little use to

them initially the Mongols had upper

hand but the Mamluks held firm during

the fierce fighting the Mongol general

was slain and those that could routed

after the decisive Mamluk victory the

Mongols were never able to gain a

foothold southwest of the Euphrates

River again shortly after the battle the

Mongols fought their Civil War by the

end of which Kubla Khan solidified his

position as the fifth Mongol kagan khan

of khans of the whole mongol empire but

in reality the empire was far too big

for one man to rule especially after

Kublai Khan's conquest of China during

the latter half of 13th century the

regional khan's

gradually became completely independent

rulers over their own khanates Kublai

Khan of the mangu Yuen dynasty ruled

over the era of the Mongols greatest

territorial extent but that large chunk

of the world was not enough so he then

set his sights on the Land of the Rising

Sun

while in the final stages of conquering

the Song Dynasty Kublai Khan sent a

modest-sized expedition numbering

between twenty to forty thousand to

conquer the island of Japan which had

ignored several Mongol demands to send

tribute the Mongols believed that it

would be no trouble to brush aside the

Islander second-rate military force they

were wrong the Mongols first oversea

invasion was met with stiff resistance

as the much smaller Japanese Army

correctly anticipated the Mongols

landing location they returned to their

ships and proceeded to scout different

locations to land when a severe typhoon

struck the fleet sinking many ships the

Mongols then abandoned the campaign the

following year the Japanese executed a

Mongol envoy guaranteed their

retaliation the mongols completed the

conquest of the song in 1279 and began

preparing a massive invasion fleet an

army which was composed of Mongols

conscripted Chinese and Koreans the army

suffered from poor communication between

the different nationalities and poor

motivation when they landed in Japan

both sides fought to a stalemate for

months the Japanese were able to contain

the larger invasion force and inflict

heavy casualties upon it another massive

typhoon then wiped out nearly half of

the Mongol invasion fleet this greatly

aided the Japanese who killed or

captured tens of thousands of enemy

troops while the Mongol commanders fled

back to China while the large invasion

of Japan had epically failed a much

smaller invasion was successful the

following the year in 1282 one hundred

ships and five thousand Mongols were

able to conquer the capital of the

kingdom of champa to the south of dive

yet the Cham people abandoned the coast

and fled to the mountains and jungles

waging a guerrilla war against the

invaders the victorious Mongol commander

returned to China and successfully

proposed a plan to Kubla Khan a new

larger army would be sent south to meet

up with the southern Mongol force

conquer dive yet and then move south to

finish off Champa

the first part of the plan worked

flawlessly the dive yet capital was

easily taken by the combined Mongol army

but just like 27 years earlier disease

set in and the Vietnamese successfully

disrupted the invader supply lines this

greatly diminished Mongol army then

withdrew past the dive yet borders two

years later a great fleet initially

intended for the third invasion of Japan

which was called off in over 70,000

reinforcement troops were sent to meet

up with those that remained from the

earlier invasion again for the third

time the Mongols captured the dye Viet

capital at Hanoi a large portion of the

fleet which was supposed to fix the

earlier supply line problems was lured

into the Red River Delta the large UN

ships were trapped by iron tipped wooden

stakes in the shallow water entrances

were blocked and then sanera boarded and

set ablaze this disaster quickly ended

the war most of the retreating Mongols

were killed captured or succumb to

disease with a small number making it

home after the war the tran dynasty of

dive yet made peace with the mongols

exchanged prisoners and agreed to pay

tribute but remained fully independent

the multiple disastrous invasions of

Vietnam and Japan would end most leaders

aspirations for foreign conquest but not

Kublai Khan's he was sick and in his

late 70s he had completed the conquest

of China the Earth's most populous and

wealthy region of his day but he may

have just wanted one more great victory

before his death the perfect opportunity

appeared to present itself when

emissaries from Islands far to the south

flooded into his court requesting Mongol

assistance against the rapidly expanding

Singh asari Empire

over a short period of time the

singosari King kirtan agarra conquered

most of the Indonesian archipelago you

can probably guess how this war started

Kubla Khan sent emissaries demanding

tribute and at first they were ignored

but their continued presence and demands

quickly annoyed kirtan Negara who had

one tattooed and his ears cut off before

sending him back Kublai Khan was

outraged and began preparing a fleet of

over 1,000 war junks manned by over

20,000 men to invade this blatant act of

hostility demonstrates how powerful

kirtan acara fealty really was but he

really wasn't

unfortunately for kirtan negara Kublai

Khan was not the only enemy he had made

and while the mongol fleet was making

preparations he was overthrown by a

kediri vassal jaya cotta Wong

when the Mongols arrived for the fight

the kediri were pleased to let them know

that kirtan negara was history the

Mongols must have felt cheated they had

sailed all that way for nothing and then

something strange happened

the son-in-law of kirtan negara who had

his own troops and was holding out

against the kediri convinced the Mongols

to join forces with him to topple the

kediri and restore the singosari empire

that they had set sail to destroy the

Mongols agreed and utterly destroyed the

kediri Kingdom most likely hoping to

install a grateful leader who would be

indebted to them after many of his

Mongol allies died in battle or it

succumbed to tropical diseases

Rawdon vie Jaya turned his growing army

on the Mongols and annihilated them this

revived saint hasari

would be known as the Masha by Empire

Kublai Khan died a year after this final

defeat

since the days of Genghis Khan

the Mongols had raided the northern part

of the Indian subcontinent but I never

attempted a large-scale invasion

for decades the Mongols of the jacket

iconic had raided into the Punjab and

sometimes held territory there

this constant raiding sometimes on a

yearly basis had an unintended

consequence the Turco Afghan warlords of

the fabulously wealthy Delhi Sultanate

became intimately acquainted with Mongol

tactics and strategy after many defeats

they started to win a string of

victories then the chagatai khanate

organized the largest ever Mongol

invasion of the Indian subcontinent with

an army likely numbering over 100,000 at

the Battle of kilee many tens of

thousands were killed on either side

including the Mongol commander in the

hard-fought battle the Mongols gained a

slight upper hand but withdrew after

their commander had died from his wounds

in the seven years following the battle

the Mongols of the Chagga Taikan 8 to

repeatedly return to campaign in the

Indian subcontinent but never in the

numbers they were able to muster in 1299

in the later 12 80s both Hungary and

Poland defeated armies of the Golden

Horde the Golden Horn was a Mongol

successor state most of the hoards

population was Turkic humans kept checks

and bull gars they were known to the

Russians as Tartars this has been

Epimetheus let me know in the comments

of which Mongol invasions do you believe

were the most disastrous rank them from

biggest disaster to least big disaster

I'm curious to read what all of you

think thank you so much for watching
