THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH FOR THIS, WANTED THISS

HAPPY NEW YEARR!!! HISTORY MARCHE🎆🎆!!

Can i be your translator in Indonesian language?

I was reading a book on the history of Switzerland and they have some great war stories. I remember one where they had an army coming of 5-10k, and all they had were 800; so they flooded the forest floor knowing it would freeze over, and drove nails through their shoes - so they would have grip while the other ones didn't. After hacking up 500 of them, the other army went home. lol

please make the same style and form document ( little more detailed) concerning battle of ULM made by Napoleon please!

He got that dawg in him

Got that BDE. Damn!

STUD

Everyone owed him a beer

Doing the dr livesey walk back to the line.

True immortality.

I am also named Andreas and I legit cheered for him on his second duel. Funny moment

I was just thinking that!!

I mean Belisarius almost reclaimed all the core territories of the original Roman empire while almost never having more troops at any of the battles.

Is there no one else?

Ikr

I was sad when the second guy came out thinking oh this is how he dies.... What a king!

Andreas*

This warrior deserves his own movie!

He only killed two men bud there were so many way more badass soldiers in antiquity etc hell this channel has counts of them look at the last battle between the Irish and norse the one Irish noble ran headfirst into enemy lines while his countrymen were being absolutely slaughtered and killed a hundred men by himself before anyone showed up to help now that an absolute unit of a man you're a fucking joke.

You have no idea how much that makes me happy

He was wise not to push his luck.

Andreus was like "gg, guys. I'm out."

​@@LuizAlexPhoenix Lol, pretty much.

Always retire when you're on top.

But he lost, and this made the emperor, this leader, resign

Belissarius, a name that your ancestors knew very well, you do as well... He always meant business, and made a point of ruthlessly schooling the hapless "generals" of the West and the Orient alike... Can't blame you, the inferiority complexes he created are unlikely to ever be surpassed...

@@anastasiosliagkris576 No, he failed in his war against the Persians and lost, so he made the Emperor Justinian pay a huge tribute to the Persians

@علي ياسر Justinian was an Emperor who only cared about his personal glory, building monuments, passing laws, and spending time with Theodora.He never provided Belissarius with a formidable army, one that would give him the edge over the Persians, same as against the Vandals and Goths in the West.He could only muster half of the opposing army each time more or less...Had Belissarius been born during the time of Basil the II's reign, he would have conquered Japan, you have my word.

@brainflash1 don't post spoilers without warning bro

Effective economic policy even today, yet common sense that still goes unheaded in favour of policies that engorge the wealth of industry leaders and their government puppets.

Yeah too often people look back at the past with disgust instead of wanting to learn the intricacies of its societies.

I think because this general lost his battles against the Persians

@@user-cg2tw8pw7j you mad or something, you keep replying on it 😭

Goths/Vandals in Italy: We want you, Belisarius, to be the Roman Emperor of Western Europe Belisarius: Let me think about it....Nope, I am loyal to my emperor Justinian: Your loyalty, general, will not be forgotten Later...... Theodora: Husband, I think Belisarius might be turning against you Justinian: You might be right. In the end, it's very sad that Belisarius wasn't fully trusted by Justinian much later on, as he was the one man who indeed should be referred to be called "The Great." He gave the Romans new life to reconquer the known Roman world.

@@liamevers115 Justinian after this battle expelled this general

@@SolidAvenger1290 Yes, great, he was paying a huge tribute to the Persians

epic history tv has a great series

Except they haven't even finished the Hannibal series

@@thehoboshack5253they have

@@casper191985 they didn't 💀

@@gwynedd4023 and what a series that is!!!

Both Belisarius and Theodora were scumbags

I absolutely agree. He managed to achieve so much with so little resources most of the time. He beated Vandals later on with much smaller army. He managed to withstand siege of Rome for 1 year with much smaller army etc. Finaly at the end of his life he saved Constantinopol from barbarian attack. Was offered to be become a king of Italy and refused but still did not have full trust of Justinian. Admirable person, admirable life. Not greedy for fame like Alexander, not greedy for money and influence like Caesar. just a humble person doing his job for is ruler the best way he could.

Geniuses but ruthless only others that can challenge his cruelty is timur.

@@sartajparveen2001 Timur, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao? I agree, he wasnt very merciful. But his impact on the history of the Byzantine Empire is tremendous.

@@sartajparveen2001 ok, so, that's just how it was back in the day

Persians made the same mistake in first battle against the Arabs, literally generals dueled and Persian general got wiped

It really was a cold war like era with endless proxy wars, meddling in the affairs of lesser kingdoms and tribes to recruit them to each superpower's causes for example the Byzantines negotiated with the Turks (imagine that!), more accurately the kok turuks and the white huns encouraging them to raid Persian borders while the Persians negotiated with the Avars, the Lombards and the Ostrogoths encouraging them to invade Byzantine lands. In Arabia the Byzantines propped up the Ghassanids while the Persians propped up the Lakhmids. In the horn of Africa, the Byzantines supported the Axumites (ancient Ethiopia) and the Sassanids propped up the Himyarites in order to secure the Arabian trade routes. In the causasus, the Byzantines propped up the ancient Christianised kingdom of Lazica (predecessors of Georgia) and both superpowers divided up Armenia into two with the Eastern Romans controlling Western Armenia and Persia controlling the East. The Byzantine propped up the Arsacid Persian family- aka the Parthians- and sat them as rulers of Western Armenia in hopes of an opportunity to seat them as the rulers of Persia one day. The Byzantines also frequently meddled in Persian internal politics, supporting and financing rebellions and rival noble families. In the Black Sea, the both rival superpowers contested for the Black Sea trade with the Byzantine hold over Crimea and their naval superiority in the region contested by Persian sponsored Piracy. Even the wars fought between the two superpowers were indecisive as they were both pretty much equal in power and lacked the resources to completely destroy the other although Persia got close in the final war due to unprecedented Byzantine weakness.

Every teacher wants to be like this. For most of them, the amount of things they have to cover in one semester overwhelms the little bit of time they are allowed to do it. For the rest, they just don' t have the talentxresources to do it in time. See how long this channel takes to make just one video.

They are also entirely controlled by bubble wrapped morons governing further up the line.

Depends on the age of students you get. Visuals like this require a lot of effort which we don't get the time to put in as teachers. Lessons with lots of words also lose the attention of a majority of students who come into history who already expect it to be boring. It's shorter words, shorter lessons, and more interaction that gets the kids excited about history. I've spent two years preparing escape room lessons for my chapters. After two years I've only been able to finish half of the curriculum of escape rooms because we are overburdened with administrative work that, really, has little impact on the students. We're expected to keep up with it nonetheless. Teachers want to teach, but we're restrained by politics, overwhelming (useless) expectations from the schoolboards and parents, and lack of funding.

@@Shugo5775 I admire and honor teachers. You guys don't get the recognition and support that you deserve. A nation's next generation should be treated like its most precious resource, not a commodity.

Seek help.

He lost this battle and paid tribute to the Persians

@@user-cg2tw8pw7j lmao. You're so butthurt it's cute. Get back to your desert and your ancient oils and bajji boys.

@@user-cg2tw8pw7j How did Andreas lose this battle or pay tribute if he wasn't a general?

@@florianhenkel111 The Emperor Justinian banished this leader after this battle because he lost him, and Justinian pushed Al-Hazia to the Persians.

Not given credit enough.

@@HistoryMarche really? You and every other publisher here has created plenty of videos praising him. You shouldn’t have this bias if you are in fact trying to present history (which I doubt, anyway)

@@MehrdadMoghaddam It's rare to see someone with a mind of their own on this site, thank you.

I 100% agree Hannibal is worth a complete series. Also Persians won a great deal of awesome victories. Specially against the Byzantines

@@artinrahideh1229 Indeed, although they lost the last and largest conflict between them and Byzantium in first thirty years of the 600 ads, which left them weakened and vulnerable to being overrun and conquered by the arabs.

@@wedgeantillies66 can't recall but I think they lost due to problems in court. They actually captured Egypt and besieged the Constantinople

@@artinrahideh1229 They lost the war because Byzantium got a soldier emperor in shape of Heraclius, whom took the war to them and waged total war on them until they were defeated. There was a revolt at home, but that only took place once the Persians were defeated in home territory by Heraclius, which led to them suing for peace after they overthrown defeated monarch and new ruler was defeated too.

@@wedgeantillies66 Exactly, and the Great Qur’an immortalized this incident, and God mentioned the Romans in His Holy Book, announcing to the believers their victory over the Magi Persians within a few years of their initial defeat.

Make sure to check K&G's Pacific War series, if you haven't already. They hit it out of the ball park with that one. The in-depth detail is amazing.

I think because the Romans wanted to control the Persian Empire, but they failed

@@user-cg2tw8pw7j yes and no, most of the conflicts were back and forth border raids with the once in a while sacking of Antioch or Ctesiphon, usually ending in indecisive stalemates

An interesting thing written on Wikipedia which does sum up parts of the wars is "The Roman-Persian Wars have been characterized as "futile" and too "depressing and tedious to contemplate"" Even if the wars were religious and a good amount of dislike existed between those nations I think deep down they respected each other more than hated.

@@nice5396 Why did a large number of noble Roman families join Parthia and the Sasanians?

@@flaviusbelisariusthebasedl3116 Yes, but why did noble Roman families join this country?

Cheers KHK! Happy 2023!

Thanks! Same to u HM!

I wish my all lame-ass history classes at my university were as thrilling and interesting as your UKposts history video docu-dramas... Because I would really end up learning something worthwhile, and of great value.

🧐🤨📷📸

I am coming all over this suspect comment.

Man thats a bit too far hahahah

Thats a bit gay

That's right, tell me what a good little submissive and breedable viewer you are

Robert Graves wrote a very good book called Count Belisarius. Seemed reasonably accurate too, to me but I am not Byzantine history expert. Justinian's treatment of Belisarius is dreadful, reportedly caused by his envy and prompted by his wife Theodora.

Sorry yeussean , didn't see your reply.

I think that he is credited well enough. Actually is quite overrated. When i first heard and read something about him i thought he was one of the greatest generals of all time and i saw that many really had a great opinion of him. But the more i read about him and the more i looked at the contest in which he fought and my opinion of him really changed. He was very capable but nothing special, in fact there are better military leaders in Byzantine history alone. Anyway it's really strange that you never heard of him if you studied a lot of history, he's one of the names that comes out often in discussions on the great generals of history.

About books... I read mainly texts of his campaigns and online essays. Those essays listed their sources so i can look them up and see if they had some good book suggestions. The others in the section suggested Count Belisarius, but i haven't read it so i don't know how accurate it is.

Watch Epic History, they did a great series on Belisarius (here on UKposts)

given the baricades and trenches probably not enough room to throw more units into battle effectively

Firouz was a good commander, but Belisarius was not a good commander, he was "THE GOOD COMMANDER" and after reading the history of wars, if Belisarius had had the same troops as Firouz, he would have mopped the floor with the entire Sassanid empire.

most of time persians had number advantage so its not really interesting to see such battle

@@666MIHI lol

@@666MIHI yea. persians also had tree wielding giants and bear riders and nerve gas... Ok bozo

It's not 50-50 most of the battles won by sassanids.

@@parsarustami774 what kind of percentage do you think it was then?

This was a year ago!?!? Damn..

"Ditches"! Note: He's referring to that ancient warfare expert that gives feedback to realism of movies and TV in the Insider channel.

It's not like the Empire could have given him more men if it wanted to. The Empire was devastated by the Bubonic plague- a quarter of the population was dead- there were mass famines and droughts due to the unusual weather of the late 530s (possible due to a super volcanic eruption in Indonesia). The Empire also had to deal with Persian invasions in the East and Slavic, Avar and Hunnic invasions in the Balkans. They were overextended by every sense of the word. The Empire may look bigger on a map but it was a lot weaker than the Empire as it was on the eve of Justinian's ascension to the throne.

Thank you so much for the support. You are very kind! Happy 2023!

Thank you very much for the support. Very kind of you.

I’m sure they they spend a couple billion more dollars that will finally solve inflation! /s

yeah the battle of Callinicum is also interesting mainly because it demonstrated the strength of arab cavalry employed by the Persians.

No worries man, great to see you

"who fought who" I mean, both empires are dead and buried, closest you'd get is Greece vs Iran fighting over Iraq and Syria lmao
