Wow

It’s not really the date that matters. The Chinese used their blob powers to deploy by modern estimates, three hundred thousand men strong army to invade Korea.

Don’t know about the Seljuks, but like most Steppe nigger empires, most working men could be deployed on battle. Most of these numbers could also be slaves, attendants, officials and such.

It’s probably overblown though. I don’t know much about turkos nor George’s

Yeah but most turks in those times were still nomadic and nomads just can't sustain the same population like an agricultural powerhouse like china could.

Is this map accurate? If so, it is one of the most satisfying borders I’ve ever seen.

Well, I mean, they did win;

in the end.

Them surviving instead of becoming an Ottoman eyalet is an achievement by itself.

Nope

You guys read it right?

>Watching his kingdom being destroyed by Turkmens, George II, in despair, repaired to Isfahan, to Malik Shah, who treated the Georgian monarch with much consideration and promised security from the nomads in exchange of a tribute (kharaj).

>George's acceptance of the Seljuq suzerainty did not bring a real peace for Georgia. The Turks continued their seasonal movement into the Georgian territory to make use of the rich herbage of the Kura valley and the Seljuq garrisons occupied the key fortresses in Georgia's south.[6] These inroads and settlements had a ruinous effect on Georgia's economic and political order. Cultivated lands were turned into pastures for the nomads and peasant farmers were compelled to seek safety in the mountains.[2] The contemporary Georgian chronicler laments that "in those times there was neither sowing nor harvest. The land was ruined and turned into forest; in place of men beasts and animals of the field made their dwelling there. Insufferable oppression fell on all the inhabitants of the land; it was unparalleled and far worse than all ravages heard of or experienced."[1] A similar situation was found in neighboring Armenia as related in Aristakes Lastivertsi's chronicle.[7] To make the things worse, a severe earthquake struck the southern provinces of Georgia, devastating Tmogvi and the surrounding area on April 16, 1088.
Get cucked, wh*Te boy.

>On June 24, 1080, the half-nomadic Turks began to arrive en masse in the southern provinces of Georgia, quickly moving deeper into the country and overrunning Asispori, Klarjeti, Shavsheti, Adjara, Samtskhe, Kartli, Argueti, Samokalako, and Chqondidi. The key towns of Kutaisi and Artanuji and the vibrant Christian hermitages of Klarjeti were all burnt down. Those who survived the fighting had to flee to the mountains, where many of them found their death of cold and starvation.

ULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

bump.

Daily reminder that Crusaders won more battle than they've lost

turkbitches cant fight for shit, never did never will

The entire Seljuq population in Anatolia probably wasn’t that big

>The arab-byzantine wars was mostly 20k arabs fighting against 40-60k byzantines
Not true at all. Generallythe Arab armies were bigger until the frontier began to stablise and the Caliphate broke up.
Before that the Byzantines usually won by highly mobile and planned out cavalry ambushes.
>which makes sense as the byzantines controlled anatolia and the balkans.
Are you seriously claiming the Byzantines were in a stronger position than the Arabs?

,,

>Upon approaching the Seljuq leaders, the deserters or diplomatic group unveiled their real intentions by suddenly attacking and killing every Seljuq commander in sight and others who were attending the meeting.
Nice.

>Great Seljuk Empire
