In episode 5 of The History of the Mongols, we follow Genghis Khan as he launches one of the most devastating invasions in world history, the annihilation of the Khwarezmian Empire.

After a brutal diplomatic breakdown, the Mongol war machine storms into Central Asia, laying siege to powerful cities like Otrar, Bukhara, and Samarkand. We’ll explore the ruthless tactics, the psychological warfare, and the staggering destruction that followed. From the rivers of Transoxania to the cliffs of the Indus, Genghis Khan’s campaign shattered an empire once thought unbreakable.

Discover the rise of Jalal al-Din Mingburnu, the tragic fall of Shah Muhammad, and the Mongols' belief in their divine destiny. This is the moment the world realized: the Mongols weren’t just another steppe threat, they were a force of nature.

Whether you’re a fan of Genghis Khan, medieval history, steppe nomads, or immersive historical storytelling, this series is your definitive guide to the rise and legacy of the Mongol Empire.
