  1. The general premise that the Mongols were undefeated in battle is not true. The Mongols were never able to defeat the sultanate of India in spite of multiple attempts at the height of the Mongols power.

You a bit of a sad case aren't you ! you should be ashamed of yourself, what some will do for money . Why no just convey the actual events as they happened? You will never get me to watch anything you post! my time is to valuable to waste trying to make myself less educated after watching this BS

  3. I like learning about past human endeavors. The Mongols were formidable cavalry men on land. They conquered the largest empire (by land area) in human history. Genghis Khan unified the 13 independent Mongol tribes and began the Mongol conquest in the 1200s. But by the time his grandson Kublai Khan became the emperor of China the Mongol Empire had fragmented into several different Khan Realms or Principalities. The Mongol Empire that occupied modern day China and Korea was ruled by Kublai Khan. As open grassland horsemen the Mongols did not understand the open seas. Kublai wanted to subjugate Japan, but horsemen of the grassland did not know how to cross from the Asian continent of China and Korea to the islands of Japan. His Chinese and Korean advisors warned Kublai there were insufficient seafaring ships, with deep keels, to cross the Sea of Japan. Mongol warriors fight on horseback. Therefore the naval fleet would have to carry Mongol warriors and their steppe ponies. There were insufficient seafaring ships in China and Korea to accomplish this. Kublai and his Mongol generals understood land warfare on the Eurasian continent. They simply did not understand the challenges involved in crossing the Sea of Japan. Kublai ordered his Chinese and Korean subjects to prepare their rivers boats for the crossing. The shallow draft river boats doomed the Mongol invasion to fail. When the naval fleet faced strong winds and rough waves most of the Mongol fleet sank. Not one single Mongol pony or Mongol warrior landed on Japanese soil. Japan was saved from the Mongols. This is why the Japanese during WWII called their suicide pilots Kamikaze. Kamikaze means divine wind in reference to the strong winds and rough waves that destroyed the Mongol fleet in the 13th century. While the Kamikaze pilots did damage the American fleet they could not reverse America's conquest of Imperial Japan. Americans are not simple nomadic horsemen. Americans have agriculture. Americans build civilization. As a civilized people Americans understood the challenges of warfare on land and sea. Divine intervention in the form of strong winds and rough waves could not stop the American Navy nor the outcome of WWII in the Pacific.
    Tsushima is a tiny island between the Southern coast of Korea and the major Japanese Island of Honshu. Why would the Mongols who control the large landmass of China and Korea want a tiny island? Why spend so much resources to take a tiny speck in the Pacific Ocean? Does this make any sense? Or is it a ridiculous joke invented by a pathological liar.
    It is disturbing the amount of distortions, exaggerations, and lies that are presented in American media. It seems people can make outrageous claims that never happened. We must be vigilant against lies. When people lie we must call them out. When Southern Revisionists lie we must call them out. When NAZI sympathizers claim the holocaust against Jews never happened we must call them out. When Americans claim Chinese violate Tibetan sovereignty we must call them out. When deceivers invent lies about Far-East, Middle East, or Near East Asia we must call them out. When liars make false claims against anyone we must call them out.
