Rise and Fall of the Khazar Khaganate - Arab-Khazar Wars DOCUMENTARY

Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Early Muslim Expansion and Medieval history continues with a video on the beginning of the Arab-Khazar wars, as we discuss the early history of the Khazars in the context of their relationship with the Huns, Bulgars, Byzantines, Sassanids and others, as well as how the Muslim Caliphate and Khazar Khanate became enemies. In this video will talk about the First and Second Arab-Khazar War and the first and second sieges of Balanjar, as well as the battles of Marj Ardabil and Mosul and will tell how the Khazars adopted Judaism, becoming one of the first Jewish kingdoms outside of the Levant. We will also talk about the fall of the Khazar Khaganate at the hand of the Rus prince Sviatoslav and his Oghuz and Pecheneg mercenaries.
