They were the biggest, baddest empire in Asia at the time, a young Islamic empire and aggressively expansionist. Then their Shah killed one of Ghengis Khans emissaries...
Dan Carlin does a great episode of hardcore history on it, highly recommend
Thanks. I'll look that up.
If you don't mind, please point me at a specific video? I did general searches and a youtube search for "Dan Carlin Khwarazmian Empire" and not seeing an obvious match.
Is it this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJHvzoORoVQ
It is his podcast, the title was "the wrath of the khans".
I don't remember which episode it was, but honestly you should listen to all the episodes in order. I think his series on the Mongols was 4 or 5 episodes Yeah, I know that is a 5 hour commitment, but I promise you it will be worth it.
