The Epic Battle That Stopped the Mongols and Changed History: Ain Jalut

In 1260, the Mongols, led by Hulagu Khan, were on a mission to conquer the Middle East. But their quest for domination was met with fierce resistance at the Battle of Ain Jalut. The Mamluks, a military elite made up of former slave soldiers, formed a circular formation called a "ghazwa" and deployed their heavily-armored cavalry at the front to absorb the initial Mongol charge. The Mamluks then counterattacked with their lighter, more agile cavalry, using hit-and-run tactics to wear down the Mongols. The Mamluk infantry, armed with spears, shields, and swords, formed a protective barrier for the cavalry and helped to repel the Mongol cavalry when they tried to break through the Mamluk lines.

The Mongols charged toward the Mamluk army with their superior cavalry and mounted archers, trying to break through the Mamluk lines. However, they were unable to overcome the Mamluk defense and were eventually forced to retreat. The battle took place near the Ain Jalut spring in southeastern Galilee, near the site of the present-day city of Beit She'an, Israel. This victory marked the end of the threat of Mongol domination in the region and allowed the Mamluks to establish themselves as the dominant power. The Battle of Ain Jalut is an epic tale of bravery and determination that changed the course of history.

It saddens me that this is not taught in school because of hatred of Muslims. I appreciate you for this work thanks to your friend from Bahrain 🇧🇭

The fact that the Mongols were in Africa while also bordering Alaska is kind of insane to think of.

This is one of the greatest battles in the islamic history and still a source of pride until now for Arabs and Muslims. Our ancestors were able to defeat the worst unstoppable barbaric army in the history.

Fun fact : The two mastermind generals behind the victory of Ain Jalut, Qutuz & Baibars, shared a common Turkic background, originating from lands that had been previously ravaged by Mongols which were Cumania and Khwarezmia respectively.

So much effort put in this. Bravery of its finest. Thank you.

[amoodi]

Full respect for Qutuz for not failing at the very time of testing.

Ain Jaluth was also a scene of first mass use of early muskets, thus pioneering the firearm age. Mameluke musket, or rather an arquebuse, was called “midfa” or like that.

Great video. Thanks. I have been studying world history a long time. I am 73 years old. The3 Mongols did not loose often but there you have it in this video. All things come to an end. Though the Mongol empire lasted a long time after this battle.

[DrewProof]

Wow. Imagining 40, 000 cavalry fighting eachother. This must have been hell

[glengray]

I have lived all over the world, including Muslim lands, like Turkey, Pakistan, and Mindinao. RP. I never felt threatened or subject to harm. My Muslim brothers were great hosts!

[guyzadok]

I support every channel that uses PC games like that to make AMAZING videos such as this. Thank you!

The reason why the Mongols, who showed themselves only once in history, progressed so much was that the Turks lost power by fighting each other, which is one of the worst characteristics of the Turks. In fact, the pure Mongols were able to last for 100 years. Other states became Turkic over time and therefore became Muslim.

أشكر صاحب القناة على المجهود المبذول . وأشكره كثيرا على مصداقيته التاريخية في سرد الأحداث التاريخية .

Imagine you are defeating both crusaders and mongols and you have both Seljuk Kipchak and Ayyubid traditions

[vqxdbhv]

I have wondered why so strong Mongols are defeated by Muslim forces, this video clip gives me very interesting answers. Two mastermind generals - Qutuz & Baibars – never allow Mongol forces to do what they do their best, and keep pressing Mongols to do what they don’t want to do. Therefore, It causes the Mongol army to become not a monster but an ordinary one.

[baronghede]

I'm glad someone finally beat the mongals, Blessed Be.

Sultan Jalal Uddin fought ferociously against Chengis Khan at Kandahar war Parwan war in Afghanistan. At the bay of the Sindhu River and at the girikhat of the Hindu Kush mountain in India. He killed a son and a General of Chengis Khan and chopetaghat to Chengis Khan. Commander Jalal Uddin was a real historical Hero. Lal Salam!

The great historian Ibn Khaldun also argues in his “Introduction to History” (or The Muqaddimah) that nomadic peoples, the Turks foremost among them, were the most energetic and martial of peoples and that imperial dynasties and regimes emerged from such groups until they became corrupted and softened by civilization and luxury, which resulted in a loss of martial energy and group solidarity. This analysis is very true because as the Abbasid caliphate started to lose its power and influence in the mid-ninth century most of the dynasties that emerged to control the various regions of the Muslim world were founded by Turks, either tribal nomads or former slave soldiers. Ibn Khaldun even attributes the victory of the Muslims over the Mongols to the martial power and energy of the Turks, who formed the elite ranks of the Mamluk armies that defeated the Mongols on several occasions as they attempted to advance into Syria and Egypt between 1260 and 1323.
