Let's look at the question of leather armor around the world! Dive into the various places in the world where leather armor was used, and the history behind it.
NOTE!!
Edit: Ok, so I have become aware that on a separate channel from the main, that one of the creators in my thumbnail made some statements regarding the LBGTQ+ community that I am very much opposed to. I have eliminated my prior statements in the description regarding that creator and am noting it here.
Also, I cannot list of every source. I have reviewed information, text, videos, scholarly work, etc, that contributed to this video. For instance, I've read a lot of history on the Mongol Empire that is not listed here because, in some instances, I can't remember what information came from what book, or even what the title of the book is. There is so much out there to review, and history, as much as most folks don't like to think of it this way, is interpretive. That's why historians can disagree on these things.
