Battle of Kulikovo, 1380 AD ⚔️ Mongol tide turns ⚔️ Russia rises

Battle of Kulikovo, fought near the Don River in 1380, was the first victory for Russian forces over the Mongol Golden Horde since the subjugation by Batu Khan. It demonstrated the developing independence of the Russian lands from Mongol rule (which had been imposed in 1240) and was a giant step for the Duchy of Moscow in its rise to leadership of the Russian people. 🚩 Consider supporting our work on Patreon:   / historymarche   📢 Narrated by David McCallion 🎼 Music, courtesy of EpidemicSound #mongolempire #russia #manscaped
