  2. Their weakness caused the khwarezmian empire. The empire couldn’t last 20 years united. The seljuk empire is basically the mongol empire in duration, but far smaller

  7. Nader Shah was well known to the European public of the time. In 1768, Christian VII of Denmark commissioned Sir William Jones to translate a Persian language biography of Nader Shah written by his Minister Mirza Mehdi Khan Astarabadi into French.

  9.  @nero9175 did you not watch the video? indian chola empire invaded and spread hinduism by force. its no coincidence that most indonesian kingdoms before the cholas were mainly buddhist (like srivijaya) with hindu minority, and most kingdoms after cholas were mainly hindu with buddhist minority (like majapahit)

  17. Don’t call it rashidun caliphate. Just call it Arab Caliphate. Chinese historians lump the Rashiduns, Umayyads, and Abbasids into one empire known as the “Arab Empire,” which lasted from the 7th century to 1258. Otherwise, this would be like calling Rome by its many dynasties.

  23. Joseph Stalin used to read about Nader Shah and admired him, calling him, along with Ivan the Terrible, a teacher. In Europe, Nader Shah was compared to Alexander the Great. Starting from a young age, Napoleon Bonaparte also used to read about and admire Nader Shah. Napoleon considered himself the new Nader, and he himself was later called European Nader Shah.

  24. The effects of caste are overstated. Until the mughal and maratha/british eras, caste was not as rigid as popularly portrayed. Yes, kings were powerless because of caste feudalism, but thats no different than their european feudalist counterparts. Also makes no sense that you say merchants were despised, when India was at the heart of a global trade network for centuries, especially in Southeast Asia.

  25.  @shehzadadarashikoh9463  Mughal Empire lost twice to the Safavid Persians who were weaker than the Ottomans. In 1649-1653, the Persians defeated the Mughals while also defeating Russia.

  26. Peasants did have access to books though. Especially in the late 16th century. They were reading books about travelling in Yunnan and about Zheng He's voyage. Even peasants in the most remote villages had a degree of literacy. Source: the Story of China by Michael Wood

  27. During the Austro-Russo-Turkish wars of 1735-1739 and 1787-1792, Russia fared much better than the Austrians. Russia also defeated the French several times during the Swiss and Italian campaign of Alexander Suvorov.

    7
  32.  @steadyzz2371  ok but explain how they caused the ayyubids or khwarezmians? that sounds very indirect, like they happened because of the butterfly, which happens with all empires all the time

  33.  @_greenrunner_  churchill didn’t cause it, but he didn’t help, he didn’t send anything, he didn’t even allow other countries to sent shipments, but he did allow british officials to be corrupt, like you said. also he made some questionable remarks about the bengalis during the famine

  39.  @nenenindonu  seljuk mamluks? never heard of that in khwarezm. khwarezm was a kingdom, not just a region, that existed from 300 AD to the mongol invasion. It was originally Iranian but became Turkic before the Seljuk invasions

  44.  @SaviourSword995  afghanistan stopped being culturally indian a while ago. and that region always had more horses so they had an advantage. rajasthan also possessed good horses, that’s why rajputs could resist for such a long time. by contrast, the flat plains of the ganges and bengal were out of luck.

  45.  @fieldagent7170  ghaznavids, ghurids, delhi sultanate, muslim kingdom of sindh, mughals, are all part of pakistani history
    5
  46.  @fieldagent7170  pakistan is not only india. it also includes iranic balochistan and iranic afghania. and hindustan is not always a synonym for india. hindustan sometimes referred simply to the region of the gangetic plain, which includes pakistan. so even though the mughals and delhi sultanate did not rule all of the “land of the hindus” (india), they still called their country “hindustan”
