Fun fact, the Khazar Khaganate was founded by someone personally belonging to the Ashina lineage of the Gokturk dynasty.

Bulgar-Khazar enmity was something else a later Bulgar group of the Volga even converted to Islam (first Turkic tribe to do so) and made an anti-Khazar alliance with the Abbasids

I had no idea that Khazars had such a rivalry with the Caliphates, or that their part in the origins of today Bulgaria. Thank you so much for your amazing videos.

It is interesting that the social division Ak-Khazar and Kara-Khazar will resurface after centuries with the Turkoman dynasties Ak-Koyunlu and Kara-Koyunlu who reigned in Middle East

Fun fact caspian sea called still khazar sea in Turkic world even today

Love hearing about history like this on the fringe of major empires. I've played games like EU4 and CK2 and have wondered what caused states to drastically change in size and rulers so quickly. Videos like these really help fill in the blanks for me and I love it!

Wow, thanks kings & generals, i've learning new things because this conflict never taught in my Islamic history class ❤❤.

The only thing I knew about Khazars was that they converted to Judaism. I could learn more from now

Sassanids: "It's your problem now buddy"

Please make a video on the difference between Huns, Khazars, Mongols, Cumins, Tartars, Oguz, other turks like Seljuks, Ottomans and different older Khagnates...A brief history of steppes may be, people originating from steppes had a very important role in current world how it is today...

One thing i must say, is that how much the narration has improved over the years. Compared to old videos where the narration was very bland and boring, it has improved A LOT.

Ive been asking about this and wasn't disappointed. I never am with your content!

8:20 That is the best tie-in advertisement I have ever seen, LOL.

OMG! I was literally browsing the channel to see anything about Muslim vs Khazar wars and this got posted just few hours ago! Thank you!

Discovering the lesser-known conflicts and alliances, like the rivalry between the Khazars and Caliphates or the Bulgar-Khazar enmity, adds fascinating depth to history. It's like solving a puzzle that reveals surprising connections and dynamics. Thank you for shedding light on these intriguing historical narratives!

At the same time, Seljuk Bey, the founder of the Seljuk Empire, was a commander affiliated with the Khazars. He was probably a Jew, then he became a Muslim and founded the Seljuk state. How strange. Additionally, the Oghuz Turks, the ancestors of today's anatolians Turks, were also affiliated with the Khazar Khaganate. The reason the Khazars became such a powerful state in a short time was that most of the rulers were Turks involved in trade. That's why there were many mercenary units among the Khazars. Today, there are Jewish Turks in Crimea. During the Ottoman period, they earned money by trading slaves. I don't know if they have any connection with the Khazars.
