After the long wait, Kings and Generals Animated Historical Documentary Series is back! We spend considerable time learning new tricks and creating new effects and assets, so we really hope that you will like our new direction.
This video is dedicated to the war of 602 - 628 between the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) and Sassanid Shahdom. This conflict was the very last that happened between these two empires, as shortly after it ended, Sasanians were conquered by the Caliphate. The sheer devastation and meaninglessness of this war allowed it to be a turning point in the human history.

A new week and a new documentary. This time we make a big step towards the modern era with the War of 1600-1611 between the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania and the Kingdom of Sweden. Although this war has some impressive and memorable engagements, we decided to focus on the battle of Kirchholm (Salaspils) of 1605. This battle proved the tactical genius of the leader of Poland, the Grand Hetman of Lithuania Jan Karol Chodkiewicz and the dominance of the Winged Hussars who demonstrated that fearsome tercios can be defeated by the cavalry.

In our previous video, we covered the Byzantine – Sasanian War of 602–628. As that conflict and Initial Muslim Invasion are connected, we decided to make the video on the Battle of Yarmouk that took place in 636 between Byzantine Empire (Vahan) and Rashidun Caliphate (Khalid ibn Al Walid). Although it was the Byzantine - Sasanian War that allowed Islamic Invasion to happen, the battle of Yarmouk was decisive for Roman attempts to defend, and its results are still felt in the region.

Reconquista is one of the most remarkable events in history. By 718 Islamic Invasion reached and then took over most of the Pyrenees, save for a remote region in the north. Spanish and Portuguese people fought for almost 800 years to reconquer the Christian lands, and that long struggle built them up and allowed to grow into empires that dominated the world for a few more centuries. This is a documentary on the general events of Reconquista and the decisive battle of Las Navas De Tolosa that took place in 1212 between the alliance of Aragon, Castile, Portugal, Navarre, knightly orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Templars and the Almohad Caliphate.

Fertile Crescent was one of the first regions human civilization started. Cultures of the Bronze Age fought over it for centuries and conflicts in this region now called the Middle East are still continuing. The war between Egypt and Hittites was one of the first recorded in history, and the battle of Kadesh of 1274 BC is probably the first we have a detailed account of. Both empires were vying for the dominance over this ancient city, and the engagement was bloody. Neither Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II or Hittite king Muwatalli II are considered great generals, but both them implemented some very interesting tactical maneuvers during this battle.

The Ottoman invasion of Europe was truly challenged for the first time during the Battle of Kosovo of 1389. The Serbs and other Balkan peoples alongside their allies from Western and Eastern Europe fought valiantly against overwhelming odds and although they lost, the foundation of the future resistance, that continued until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, was set. This battle was also remarkable due to the fact that leaders of both armies were killed during it. Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović died in the battle and Sultan Murad I was assassinated by the Serbian knight Miloš Obilić, who was killed shortly after. All three are considered martyrs by their people and the spirit of this battle is still part of the bitter animosity…

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most talented military leaders in the history, so every battle he fought is fascinating, as well as his complete knowledge of tactical and strategic aspects of the war. He was part of the French Revolution and ended it, he was the biggest conqueror of Europe, but also brought its unity closer. The battle of Marengo of 1800, which took place during the War of the Second Coalition between Napoleon and Austrian troops under Baron Michael von Melas is interesting, as French leader committed a big mistake, but was able to score a big victory through sheer will and tactical acumen.

Commanders always look for a way to get an advantage and so they choose the best possible location for the battles. And as such locations usually have a suitable terrain or are in the vicinity of the economic or political center, historically decisive battles had a tendency to happen in the same places over and over. We know about half-dozen battles of Thermopylae and Kosovo, and so many other geographical locations had multiple battles. For India it is the city of Panipat, just under 100 kilometers away from the capital Delhi. Three crucial fights happened here and they decided the fate of the entire subcontinent for centuries. In this documentary we are covering two of these battles that happened in 1526 and 1556. The Mughal Empire led by Babur and Akbar had to fight against the Delhi Sultanate of Ibrahim Lodi and the armies of the Sur Empire under the command of Hemu at Panipat to prove its dominance. Let's see how these events unfolded.

Despite heavy casualties during the battle of Kosovo (1389) against a broad alliance of the Balkan peoples led by Serbian lord Lazar and battle of Nicopolis (1396) against European Crusaders led by Jean of Never, Sigismund I of Hungary and Mircea I of Wallachia, Ottoman empire continued to expand under the leadership of sultan Yildirim Bayezid I. To the east new empire under amir Timur (Tamerlane) was on the rise and as the borders of two empires touched, the war was inevitable. The battle of Ankara of 1402 was one of the biggest fought between the Muslim empires. At the same time, results of this massive battle impacted Ottoman, Timurid, Byzantine empires and changed the course of the history of Europe, Asia, Middle East and Balkans.

We decided to slowly remake all of our old documentaries, as current quality of narration and animation is much higher than the one we had before. We want our viewers to know that we will always strive to produce the best quality videos. This documentary is on Roman - Seleucid Syrian War of 192-188 BC (also known as War of Antiochus) and the battles of Thermopylae and Magnesia. Both the Roman Republic and the Seleucid empires were vying for control over Greece and Eastern Mediterranean and their war reshaped the map of the region in the II century BC and was the most significant conflict of its time with a quarter of a million warriors taking part in the hostilities on both sides.

The defeat at Ankara in 1402 was the first real setback for the Ottoman empire. Its sultan - Bayezid became a hostage of the new conqueror Timur, and soon sons of the sultan started fighting each other in order to get to the throne. This period is called Ottoman Interregnum, but it was basically a Civil War between 6 princes. Eventually, this civil war came to an end, and as the agressive invasion of the South and Central Europe continued, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Transylvania, Lithuania, Wallachia, Bohemia, Ruthenia and others started a crusade called the Crusade of Varna against the Ottoman sultan Murad II. The crusade was concluded in 1444 with the battle of Varna between Murad II on one side, king of Poland and Hungary Wladyslaw III and voivode of Transylvania John Hunyadi on the other.

Previously we covered the first two battles of Panipat during which the Mughal Empire and its emperors Babur and Akbar fought against the Lodhi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate and Hemu of the Sur Empire. Although these victories were decisive in their nature, the Mughals continued facing new enemies, as their incursion into the central and western India was met with the resistance of the local Rajput states. The prolonged conflict led to one of the most iconic engagements in the Indian history - the battle of Haldighati of 1576 between Akbur's general Man Singh and the Maharana (King) of Mewar Pratap.

The Baltic tribes were the last pagans of Europe and both the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire were interested in baptizing them. However, this process was not peaceful and two knightly orders were tasked with bringing the new faith to the Baltics - Teutonic and Livonian. Their activity, that would be later known as the Northern Crusades, led to a number of wars with the Kingdom of Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania. Eventually, these states entered a union. The ensuing war between the Polish-Lithuanian alliance and the Teutonic Order culminated in the battle of Grunwald in 1410.
