136: The Mongolians: Part One: The Way of the Steppe
Manage episode 486956889 series 3001779
In our very first episode on the Mongols, we leave our current narrative around the Empire in Nicaea and Constantinople, and we travel East. Crossing the Middle East, we discover the Mongolians completely annihilated their enemies and laid entire cities to waste. But where did it all begin? We go back in time to the very foundation of the Mongolians, to a small river north of the Eurasian Steppe, on the edge of the great Siberian forest and the northern mountains. In this frozen corner of the world lay a group of nomadic tribes that were always considered the poor backwater of the steppe. And here we see how one man rose up and became the greatest, most feared, conqueror the world had ever seen.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern day.
