Battle for the Holy Land - What was the strategy of the Crusades? - Medieval History DOCUMENTARY

Purchase shares in great masterpieces from artists like Pablo Picasso, Banksy, Andy Warhol, and more.

🚩 On a late November morning in the year 1095, the rousing sermon of Pope Urban II reverberated across Europe. Thousands of knights and ordinary people took the cross and marched East. Over the next two hundred years the Christian armies attempted to recover Palestine from Islamic rule. But conquering these lands was easier than keeping them. What were the strategic methods employed by the Crusader states to keep hold of the Holy Land?

Just to be clear, a knight doesn't move or fight alone rather he always has servants or escorts up to 20 horsemen

Love how you just not make a video about the battle of the war, but also the logistic which people seem oversight of how important it is

[princelight]

Another great video! I was wondering if you guys could make videos dedicated to the battles of Khalid Ibn Al Walid just like the videos with Hannibal. I've seen other channels make good videos about Khalid but I've always liked your channel regarding these type of videos.

As usual ! Mind blowing content, this is one of the channels that make me addicted to YouTube

[saruman]

I, Saruman, have been a subscriber of your channel for years now (with the use of the palantiri). The animations, as well as your contents, are truly bizarre! I can say it has come a long way.

It's incredible how these videos do a far better job of explaining world history than any history textbook.

Congratulations from Argentina, this channel is a masterpiece, i'm still waiting to have the time enough to see Hanibal's videos, but i'm sure they are just great as the middle east videos.

[davidhughes]

I thoroughly enjoy the subject of overall grand strategies of nations and empires in history.

Question to HistoryMarche: Will you be doing a video on the strategy of the Mamluk sultan Baybars? It was Baybars who simultaneously both stopped the Mongol invasion of the western half of the middle east whilst wiping out the last remnants of the Crusader states through the astute construction of road networks, bridges and placement of spies. Amtai's book ('Mongol and Mamlukes'?) is an excellent reference for this period.

Love how you divided the parts, one of them being "sponsored ad". Genius! 👍

[uptheblues]

Honestly the quality of these videos outshines other channels like kings and generals

[Anonymous-qivl]

Video’s of history always makes my day. Especially from this channel!!

[denniscleary]

Just got done fighting for my job with the help of the Union, this is quite a pleasant uplifting. Thanks guys

[viatorinterra]

I remember Strategy Stuff's first video on this. A breath of fresh air from the ideologically-motivated videos other channels had. How much does this video borrow from that one, if I may ask?

[MrFiddleedee]

You have to give it to the crusaders: they were playing the game of war on literal hardcore mode in comparison to their european origins.
Some chad tier stuff.

[charlesnope]

I get goosebumps when I hear the narrator. Absolutely outstanding job, what a voice! I would listen to him read my junk mail!

[dawnsparrow]

Always (Historymarche)channel sharing excellent quality videos thanks for sharing 👍🏻...including this video...

[DeepCrossing]

This is a great overview of the multi-century crusade movement, and it’s fundamental strategic disadvantages. When you look at it from this height, it’s obvious that was destined to never last permanently. Interesting as well though the parallels between Outremer and modern day Levantine geography

[Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

Historymarch, Epic History TV, Kings and Generals. Literally the only channels I have subscribed to and re-watch videos constantly. May I ask if there will be any Norman related videos ? I loved the ones from Kings and Generals, however I would love to see your take on it ?
