Battle of Tolbiac, which took place in Gaul during/after the collapse of the last fragments of the Western Roman Empire. Despite being fought in AD 496 (or 506, depending on who you ask) it marked the beginning of what would one day become modern France.

I'm very happy to share with you the Battle of Ankara, the titanic clash between two of the best commanders of their time, Bayezid I and Timur the Lame. The battle was catastrophic for the Ottoman state, fracturing what remained and bringing almost total collapse of the empire. This resulted in a civil war among Bayezid's sons. The Ottoman civil war continued for another 11 years (1413) following the Battle of Ankara.

This video is 48 minutes long. It was insane to make so I hope you'll enjoy the show. This is the ad-free early access version. 

Now this is a video you'll want to see, "The Roman Army Medical Corp", going into detail about the "butcher's bill" and what went on with the wounded behind the front line. Invicta needs no introduction, but oh man this video is such a must see that I had to post it here:  https://youtu.be/-g7Cbj_9t3w

"Rome's Last Stand in Egypt - Battles of Heliopolis and Nikiou" is now available on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/historymarche

One could argue that while the Roman defeat at the battle of Yarmouk was a mortal blow to the empire, the fall of Roman Egypt was the final nail in the coffin. Beyond the year 645 AD, the Eastern Roman Empire steadily declined from a Mediterranean power to a regional power, while the seemingly unstoppable Rashidun Caliphate rose to the status of empire.

At the time of the Islamic conquest, Coptic Christianity was the dominant religion in Egypt. General Amr ibn Al-As of the Rashidun Caliphate is credited for bringing Islam to Egypt and Africa in 640 AD. He is celebrated as one of the most important historical figures in the history of Egypt.

Islamization of Egypt and the Middle East was a gradual process that started in the mid-7th century. Conversion from Christianity to Islam was accompanied by the jizya tax for non-Muslim subjects who refused to convert. Islam became the dominant religion across the Levant and Egypt by the 10th to 12th centuries, and the Arabic language replaced Coptic as the informal language of the people and Greek as the official language.

Big thanks to  @EasternRomanHistory   and  @WarhawkYT   for collaborating with me on this one! I hope you'll enjoy the show. 

Raphia, 217 BC - Biggest battle in Hellenistic history is now available on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/historymarche

Syria and Palestine were prime real-estate which ancient powers fought over. In the aftermath of Alexander the Great's death, his empire was carved up by his generals and family. By the late 3rd century BC, Seleucid Empire and Ptolemaic Egypt fought for domination over this region, then known as Coele Syria. 

One of my team-members joined up with dozens of artists to start a new channel called  @Altremer . Their Alternate History series explores the world in which the 4th Crusade took a completely different route. It is a fun watch, to be sure!

Mons Graupius, 83 AD - The Battle at the edge of the Roman world is now available on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/historymarche

Agricola is a fairly unknown figure, yet he was one of the most competent Roman commanders of his time, remembered for his decisive campaigns in Britain. Mons Graupius (AD 83/84) was his crowning achievement. The battle broke the army of the Caledonian Confederacy and it seemed that Rome was finally on the brink of conquering the whole of Britain... 

Secret pact to dominate the world!

During the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire entered a secret alliance with Ming China to dig a tunnel under Asia to connect the two empires. The tunnel would help facilitate faster transport of troops and help fuel the joint conquest of the world by the Ottomans and the Ming. The famed tunnel was completed on April Fool's day, 1543
