▶ In this video I talk about countries that used to exist in Medieval Asia. Exploring the political landscape of the continent in the year 1200 AD, highlighting the changes in borders, countries that existed then (being either annexed, destroyed, or fading away) but not today, and those that remain (plus how they evolved over time). Going into specific regions and states, including the Khmer Empire, the Ainu people, the Ghurid Sultanate, the Khwarezm Sultanate, the Champa City States, the Dali Kingdom, Mosul, and the Uyghur Khanates. The Khmer Empire was a HinduBuddhist empire with an innovative healthcare system but faced decline due to environmental factors. The Ainu people inhabited Northern Japan until they were assimilated into Japanese society. The Uchima Kingdom's historical existence is unclear. The Ghurid Sultanate and Khwarezm Sultanate were once powerful but eventually collapsed, with the Khwarezmian Sultanate facing a devastating Mongol invasion. The Champa City States in Vietnam had a long history of sovereignty. The Dali Kingdom in China traded horses with the Southern Song Dynasty. Mosul's sovereignty in 1200 AD is questionable due to its history of changing rulers. The Uyghur Khanates in NorthWest and North China varied in structure and eventually fell to Mongol and Qing rule.
