The Day Europe Almost Fell (1241-1242) - Kings and Generals DOCUMENTARY

The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of the Mongols continues with an episode on the Mongol invasion of Europe in 1241-1242, the day Europe almost fell. For most of Europe, the Mongol Empire was a distant rumor—an unstoppable force sweeping across the East. But in 1241–1242, that rumor became a terrifying reality. The greatest military machine of the medieval era crossed the steppes and struck directly at the heart of the continent.
