I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City (Constantinople) than the Latin mitre". -Loukas Notaras Best quote summing up the 4. Crusade
You can draw stark parallels with the sacking of Rome in 410 by the Visigoths. When Alaric's army trekked through the Italian peninsula there was no Roman legion in sight. In fact the peasants he did encounter welcomed him because they were so downtrodden by Rome's high taxes they'd take their chances with the invaders.
@@bokonoo77 The Latins died because they involved themselves in the politics of the empire and their punished by the victorious side (like other groups in the empire). The Venetians nor the crusaders cared about the massacre enough to even politically punish the byzantines. The massacre happened because of the greed and godlessness of the crusaders which even the pope at the time recognised
@@fabianmiron2782 yeah it’s not like emperor Frederick I or Henry VI threatened to go war It’s not like Norman kings of Sicily attacked them for it. West truly despised them for their betrayal
Romans under the Macedonian and Isaurian Dynasties recovered strength after the Arab conquest, so did the Komnenians after the Turkish invasion of Anatolia, the 4th Crusade however was the dead end
@@ΆγιονΠυρτουΘεού Nah Rome is Rome and Romans are Romans, sorry. The majority of Eastern Roman ruling Dynasties were of non-Greek ethnic origins such as Armenian, Illyrian, Arab, Aramean,... The armies were even more diverse including Wallachs, Varangians, Normans, Turks, Franks,... Claiming Eastern Rome/Romans as Greek is nothing but nonsense
@@ΆγιονΠυρτουΘεού Nope. It was the Roman Empire also known as the eastern Roman empire. Byzantine empire is a misnomer to the highest degree. Roman citizens also spoke Greek. Greek was the language of the eastern lands since Alexander the Great and it also became something like the Romans' second language. Roman citizens spoke either Latin or Greek, but in the east Greek was more accepted. Long story short, it was the Romans who were multi-ethnic like Nenenin stated correctly, and not the Greeks.
@UC67_GB6T3dJy7XIMXbEskaQ I say after the death of Maurice, his descendants were from his dynasty and after Phocas there was no Latin-speaking ruler of the Romans after that
@@RedPawner A lot of the eastern Roman emperors after Phocas learned Latin, even though it was not the language of the court in the later medieval age. Phocas II himself spoke Greek and Latin very fluently, which I find to be a telltale marker of Roman-ness. Phocas was rumored to be descended from the Flavian house of ancient Rome. He was not the last emperor speaking Latin, though. Even the later Palaiologians strove to learn Latin. Mostly to appear as part of the European community of those times, and they also learned Latin so that their proposal to reunite the western and eastern churches would succeed.
What I have always wondered is how the crusaders were able to overcome and sack Constantinople so quickly and easily.At that time,it was the best fortified city in the world and had a large army.The fourth cusade was by far the smallest crusade numerically and the most fractured of all.They were spread out everywhere...
Eastern romans: "Could you please try to not invade our territory...FOR FIVE MINUTES!?" Crusaders, persians, ottomans, mongols, huns, barbarians, etc: "What an awesome capital you have, guys!" 😎
@@ΆγιονΠυρτουΘεού They were ethnic greeks with roman citizenship, their nationality is roman but their ethnicity is greek. You can blame roman emperor caracalla for his edicts
Constantinople had a recurring habit of making itself very much disliked if not outright despised by the Latins, so it didn't really take much convincing by the Venezians to get the Crusaders to sack it. This persisting antipathy was also the reason the city was largely left to it's fate when the Ottomans besieged it centuries later.
You forget that the Pope excommunicated the Crusaders. Or all the Crusades that were called to fight the Ottomans before they took Constantinople. Or that the Latins had basically forced Byzantium to become their protectorate, gaining more out of its trade, than the emperor got out of taxing all its lands. Or the Crusaders invading Zara which had done nothing to anyone.
There are several particularities of that failed crusade. However the sack of the jewel of the east comes from a cave mentality. This sack is one of the top brutal of all in the history.
I like your narration a lot. I'm not a native English speaker and I can understand you without captions. I appreciate it. And thank you for your history lessons. Your channel is very cool.
@ The Byzantine monks in the city incited a mob to kill all of the Italians/Roman Catholics in the city. They decapitated the popes legate and had his head drug around the city by a dog. The ones that did survive were rounded up and sold to the Turks as slaves. So the western crusaders had a pretty good reason to sack the city when they came through.
The bastards got what they deserved in the end. Emperor Baldwin was captured by the bulgarians his army crushed by Kaloyan together with most of the Latin high command. That bastard the red duke died of a hearth attack caused by terror thinking Kaloyan would come and take Constantinople. Most of the nobles and commanders that took part in the sack of the city died from bulgarian arrows or getting literally beaten to a pulp when they fell from their horses. The bulgarians used lassoes to get the knights of their horses and after that the infantry beat the brakes off of them with clubs and axes
"The Western Europeans had long felt a jealous dislike for the Greeks; and the refusal of the Greek Church to abandon all its traditions and submit to the authority of the Roman pontificate added to their dislike. The Greeks were schismatics and not to be trusted."

@@БоянБогданов-ю6о From your surname i deduct that you are of Bulgarian ancestry. Well let's see how your ancestors referred to the Byzantines in still surviving primary sources... "In this respect, it is noteworthy that early-medieval written evidence from the Bulgar realm testifies to a Bulgar preference to the ethnonym Graikos (Greek), instead of Rhomaios (Roman), by the designation of the Eastern Romans. The use of the former ethnonym seems to have been predominant among the other Slavic peoples of the Balkans as well, should we consider the textual evidence in their languages that originates, however, from the late Middle Ages." Yannis Stouraitis, pp 130, "Byzantine Romanness: From geopolitical to ethnic conceptions: Early Medieval Regions and Identities" "The Romans and the Bulgarians viewed each other as distinct people, and many among the latter, especially the former ruling class, desired freedom from “GREEK oppression".” "Later medieval Bulgarians called the Byzantine period “the GREEK slavery.” Anthony Kaldellis, "Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood: The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, 955 A.D. to the First Crusade", pp. 174
@@БоянБогданов-ю6о Your ancestors referred to the "Byzantines" as "Greeks" and "Romans" interchangeably and actually showed a preference for the term Greek. Now read what In the last decades of the empire’s existence (1430's), Ioannes Kanaboutzes spelled out to his Latin masters: “One is not a barbarian on account of religion, but RACE, LANGUAGE, the ordering of one’s politics, and EDUCATION.

@@dbdbddhdbe6009 they kind of did, sort of, basically if the civil war in the 14th century didn't happen and they managed to successfully regain Greece (they could've, but they decided to focus more on Anatolia, which they did horribly and resulted in the loss from the Ottoman Turks) they could've have had a way better chance of recovering and maybe even potientally restoring the empire again just as how Basil and Alexios had done, The man who could've made this possible was Andronikos the Third, he died more eariler thaj usual though but he was probably the last eastern roman empire who could've reversed everything that had happened after the fourth crusade but only and if only the civil war never happened
Crusader: “Hey guys, i have an idea: lets sack, plunder and ruin this fellow christian state on the edge of our greatest enemy borders!” Other Crusaders: "makes sense, lets do it!”
@@CCP-Liesthey aren’t latins, true latins are people from Rome, who speak Latin and have Latin ancestry, or people who descend from them such as some Italian, some Spaniards etc. most of the crusaders were people from France or Germany, formerly Gallic and Germanic peoples.

Long story short Money, by then the Crusaders are basically Rouge and Practically Mercenaries originally they wanted to just pay a debt to the Venitians but spiralled into the conquest of Constantinople.
I think the fourth crusade are the only time we can say that Constantinople was preached because in 1453 it was a small city state rather than a capital of empire
Doesn't matter about the terrority, the city it's self it's absolutely huge and is capable of being self-sufficent and is unassailable most of the time. So it was breached, 1204, 1261 by the Empire of Nikaea which is a byzantine successor state, and in 1453 by Ottomans there is one in 1376 which was during a civil war, but it's not well documented.
Now I know the main reason was $$$, but to be honest I think they had it coming when they blinded Enrico. If an envoy says something you don't like, deporting him is fine, maybe even fine his paymaster, but blinding an envoy is going too far.
That's a myth though, Dandolo's blindness is considered to be due natural causes as his handwritting in documents he wrote and signed show a gradual deterioration over time; that being said a lot of the leaders of the Crusade had personal reasons behind their conduct like Boniface of Monferrat whose younger brother was murdered 20 years before in the violence and massacres that happened with the accession of the throne of Andronikos Komnenos.
In all fairness, how did this happen? If the crusaders sacked a Christian city to pay the Venetians (why they didn’t ask for an advance I’ll never know): that would be one thing. But to then go out of their way to Constantinople? Why did any of the crusaders agree to this? How was there no mass mutiny?
This is from someone elses comment, "MPORTANT! Many people refuse to say that there is a different between a crusader and a templar knight. On this occasion those armies were composed mostly by mercenaries,new recruits and people looking for wealth attracted by the success of previous crusades. Thats why they didnt have a problem attacking other christians and basically screwing the whole point of the crusades. The thumbnail just make this worse. Is the equivalent of false news."
Untill this year , Crusaders doesnt get how Muslims can arrange an army just by an Imam telling them about a holly war, they are just defending their home land,their religion without the need for money or gold or any crown. Europeen did the crusades not to defend their religion , it was only for expedition and Gold
1204 Sack of Constantinople was 100% the reason of Eastern empire's downfall. They abandoned the only reason Europe didn't become Arab/Muslim for a millennia just because they were too butthurt with the Byzantines for being Orthodox, speak Greek instead of Latin, being more sophisticated (Theophanu Sklerena taught King Otto's German people how to use cutlery and bath every day) and honestly, being the actual legacy of Ancient Greek and Rome.Not to mention the unholy part that the Church played, in both West and East.
All the crusades were based on lies, profit, most knights were adventurers who were going to seek glory and fortune or at least the forgiveness of their sins, there was nothing holy about these adventures.
Do you know what is the worst part? during the sacking of the city they (of course) had to burn the Imperial Library of Constantinople. There is no worse crime than book burning in my opinion for many civilizations and people (even if they and their empires had fallen) where alive (in a sense of course) because they where recorded in such places and the only immortality there is, is through these pages. But when a person, civilization or story is forgotten and their memory d*es so do they.
Technically Venezia (Venice) never declared secession from the Roman Empire (as well as Sardinia), even if after Ravenne felt they started to be more and more indipendent de facto. So, technically, this Coul be considered a civil war.
That's wrong. Venice was considered fully indipendent by the byzantines since the age of Basil II, who tried diplomatically to ally Byzantium with Venice to defend himself by the sea raids.
@@WFASPigeonGang ok, prove it. Tell me the moment Venezia declared secession or was occupied by a foreign power. You cannot, it never happened, there were moments when Constanipolis Coul name its dux/doge (yes, it's the name of a Roman Empire magistratum), moments when they named him by themselveses, moments in the middle, the diminishing of the empetial authority was no linear thing and even in the days of Charlemagne he didn't occupy some lands, among them Venezia, not to piss off Costintinopolis, at least not too much, after taking Rome and Longobardia Major
@@Nicods Toso, te lo dico in italiano giusto perché così comprendi bene: quello che dici è storicamente e giuridicamente falso. In primis perché Carlo Magno provò a conquistare l'allora Ducato di Venezia, ma la sua flotta, guidata dal figlio Pipino, venne sconfitta dai Veneziani con l'aiuto dei Bizantini, quindi stare a dire che Venezia dipendeva totalmente da Bisanzio tra l'ottavo e il decimo secolo è mendacia. Dall'ottavo al decimo secolo infatti Venezia finì di essere un territorio amministrato dall'esarcato di Ravenna (ergo sotto amministrazione bizantina) e la Venezia marittima venne riformata in ducato di Venezia, ovvero non più un territorio ma uno stato cliente. Se non conosci la differenza te la spiego: un territorio è una parte facente parte dell'impero che deve ubbidienza all'imperatore, ma che è meno centralizzato e quindi deve minori uomini e risorse all'imperatore stesso rispetto ai Themi. Uno stato cliente è uno stato che agisce per conto proprio in temi di politica interna ed estera ma che tributa denaro in cambio di protezione. Di fatto, per rimarcare un'altra menzogna da te citata, i dogi non venivano eletti direttamente dall'imperatore a seconda della loro influenza: dopo la morte del secondo doge, Marcello Tegaliano, il doge venne continuamente eletto da un'assemblea popolare, e non direttamente scelto dall'imperatore. Comunque, ritornando sul punto della questione, dato che comunque uno stato cliente è uno stato separato da quello da cui dipende, è totalmente erroneo dire che una guerra tra uno stato cliente e quello da cui dipende sia una guerra civile, perché una guerra è civile se accade all'interno di un unico stato, non in due separati. Per citarti un esempio: la guerra tra Basilio II e Barda Foca fu una guerra civile perché Barda Foca era un generale bizantino che voleva detronizzare Basilio, mentre la guerra veneziano-bizantina del 1122-1226 non fu una guerra civile perché da un lato c'era Venezia, stato a sé, e dall'altro c'era l'Impero Bizantino, altro stato a sé. Sta di fatto quindi che Venezia era uno stato indipendente già dalla sua riforma a ducato, ma che era pur sempre cliente rispetto all'impero Bizantino. Lo stato di clientela però fu prima allentato da Basilio II e poi totalmente infranto da Alessio I quando questi divenne dipendente della flotta veneziana, di fatto considerando l'impero e Venezia pari diplomaticamente. Amen.

@cephasoj108 the byzantine emporer was the person to request a crusader from the pope in the 1st place. The 4th crusade was not an official crusade and the pope had nothing to do with it. Infact the pope had already excommunicated those people who fought against the port city of zara. The pope was very much furious about the events of the 4th crusade in Zara , but was helpless ,as he was unable to physically stop the crusades. Don't bring some event which happened 800 years ago ,which was formed to control the Islamic persecution , which then wandered away from its primary purpose over the modern continuing persecution of the islamists such as taliban and other terrorist organizations.

Shiism isn't based on quran or hadith. Shia comes from word shia'tu ali Or group/supporters of ali. It was political movement for choosing leaders of the muslims between 2 groups. Muawiya and ali. Long story short political conflict transformed into an islamic branch.

Because the successor to Muhammad was never suppose to be a political leader, he was primarily a spiritual leader and the thing they were debating about was who would be the the successor of the spiritual teachings of the prophet(saw).

The people who politicized Islam was muawiyah and his kin, and created a political system from it and the first “dynasty” in Islamic history, then giving minor power to chosen clerics to follow the leaders beck and call.
At 7:00, "The capital of Byzantium"... the ignorance at its finest. The city of Byzantium had been renamed Constantinople one thousand years earlier, and it was a city, not an empire. The sentence "The capital of Byzantium" doesn't make any sense. Even more, it never existed anything like "The Byzantine Empire", as Byzantium had never an empire. That name, for the East Roman Empire, was an invention of a german historian in the 17th century, well after the end of the East Roman Empire, willing its "Holy Roman Empire" to be the only "Roman empire". Nobody in history had previously called the East Roman Empire the "Byzantine Empire"; even the Ottomans, having conquered it, pretended to be called "The third Roman Empire", in opposition to the German "Holy Roman Empire"; Both pretended to be the Third Roman Empire, the reason why that german historian started to call it "The Byzantine Empire" pretending to falsify one thousand years of history
10:15 As an enthusiast of crusader history I did not know Speros Vryonis before this video but it appears he is not an expert in history of the crusades and has bias towards Byzantium and Greece. This statement is simply untrue. Firstly because as far as the crusades to Holy Land countinued throught 12th and 13th centuries it did stop islamic world from advancing forward, second because there were many different theaters and times in which crusades were called. Crusades in Iberia and the Mediterrean succeded to repell islam from Western Europe, ultimetly with Grenada War (1492) and Lepanto (1571). Crusader efforts in the Balkans like Belgrade (1456) or Vienna (1683) also stopped muslim invasions even with many failures along the way and ultimetly led to decline od the Ottomans. Also each crusade should be recognized as it's own thing. Regarding crusader movement in general as a failure is simply false. Overall as far as it countinued and there was motivation for them the movement was succesful in the end. Better read Johnatan Riley-Smith, Thomas Madden, Bernard Hamilton or Thomas Asbridge - historians who really care about crusader history.
After fourth Crusade is successful in CK2 this appears. End of an Era. Constaninople falls to great cheers of Catholic Crusaders. The world weeps as last lingering memories of Roman Empire shatter.

The main reason because Constantinople refused to fund and help the the third crusade led by the German king Frederick Barbarossa , which ended in disaster and the annihilation of 300,000 to 600,000 crusaders [Muslim sources] due to famine, cold, disease and harassment of the Seljuks in Anatolia, which is the graveyard of the Crusaders.. No crusader army dared cross Anatolia after Barbarossa's crusade

Yes indeed. One proof is in the composition of ruling princes and kings of the medieval era, across the old continent of Europe. For example contemporary Spain, despite being a native Iberian peninsula nation, was founded originally by Visigothic chieftains. The Vandals originally colonised pretty much most of northern Africa, but they got destroyed pretty quickly in a war against the Byzantine empire, under Justinian.
@@smartyrasor5435 never looked into what followed Justinian's succession, to be honest. It's hard to say what the Byzantines were trying to achieve, except to reconsolidate the founding boundaries of the empire, along the Mediterranean basin. They wanted to take back Italy and Spain by force, that much we know for certain.

I am Greek, and even I do not believe this BullShit that you are spouting. Byzantium was just a continuation of the old Roman Empire.

@@ΟΑοίδιμοςΒουκεφάλας You don't seem to be able to grasp that Roman identity was solely a political identity until the empire was geographically reduced to mostly Greek speaking areas at around the 7th century A.D.

Sad fact is this same template of attacks would be repeated over the centuries, by various passing empires and kingdoms from the West. It started with Roman papist catholicism, but the same disdain for the east ended up prevailing with Protestant kings and rulers (not all though), followed by latter day atheists, occultists etc. The axis puppet state of "Croatia" during WWII, however, is a modern day copy of the crusader destroyers of 1204, because each were equally Roman papist.

@@dyingember8661 No, that was not why it was called Sultanate of Rum. The Turks called the citizens of the eastern Roman Empire because they were calling themselves Romans.

These Romans eventually converted to Islam and started speaking Turkish...and their descendants are still Turks today.
If you want to know whether someone is paying lip services to the Eastern Roman Empire, just ask "do you know what happened to Constantinople in 1204"?
The main motive for the sack of Constantinople in 1204 was the desire to expand power. The Holy German Empire was involved in the events. The HRE considered itself as the Guardian power of Catholic Christianity. There was a logical tendency to expand this power over Byzantium and so become the main undisputed ruler over all Christianity in Europe. The Venetians were a rising navel and trade power. Byzantium was seen as a rival that had to be weakened and eliminated. By constant raids and attacks on Islands, ports and allied powers Venice became more and more dominant. Constantinople already had to made concessions to this new power. But still, Byzantium existed. And so, this was a great chance to push the great old rival once and for all out of the way. One of the concessions Byzantium had to make was to let traders from Italy live inside the walls of Constantinople with certain privileges. Since these new citizens became bigger in power and privileges and even dared to fight each other inside the Byzantine capital (Genuans vs Venetians), it was only a matter of time when the backlash came. And it came with the reign of Androikos I Kommenos. Directly after his coronation the quarters of the Latin population in Constantinople were attacked by angry mobs and thousands of the Latin population killed. This happened in 1182, 22 years before the brutal sack of Constantinople. This was an emotional fuel to the desire to sack Constantinople added to the strategic stimulus. What this documentary failed to include was that many new Crusaders from Venice filled up the ranks of those disappointed European knights who already had left the Cruzade. So, it was much easier for the Venetians to manipulate this cruzade in their favour.
To blame the turks for Constantinople is stupid.The city was taken bc of Mehmet's strategic mind,if he wasn't there they wouldn't be able to take it,at least at that particular attempt.Now consider a city of 300000-500000 people,it would be foolish even to think an attempt to siege the city with ot without cannons.The population is vast and inside the city there are military buildings,the scholae(the schools),surrounded by walls,a fortress inside a fortress guarding the palaces.The 4th Crusade degrade Constantinople from a city built to govern an empire from Scotland to Bagdad and Morroco,to a simple city ruled by mere local kingdom with only inherited traits like titles and walls curved by the world's rulers.
I dont think this is realist point of view. Papacy attacked Eastern Roman Empire at the same time it was under the attack from the Ottomans. It continue to do the same to Serbia. During the reign of Tzar Dušan, Papacy ordered a attack on Serbia somewhere before 1350. While Serb army was fighting with Ottomans in whats left of Eastern Roman Empire, Papacy attacked over Hungarian army, which immediately attacked Serbia soon as Catholic priest spies informed Papacy that the Serb army moved to fight Ottoman. Western Roman empire never stop cooperating with Ottomans and later Turks because main enemy was always, the Orthodox Christians.
I don’t know what’s more depressing, this event, or the people in the comment section justifying it. This event shouldn’t have happened and the Massacre of the Latins shouldn’t have happened either. There’s no justifying either of them.
No such thing as Greek Byzantines. It was Greek-speaking Romans versus Germanic and Frankish peoples, with Venetians and Spaniards. Latin Romans ceased to exist in 1204, aside from those speaking Latin in Rome itself.

Based on history, Christianity is also not the original religion of Europe, the original religion of Europe is pagan/Zoroastrianism which was embraced by the Aryan people. Christianity is the religion of the Armenian people, and in the year 389 AD, Theodosius adopted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire.The Ottoman obtained permission from the Constantinople priest to continue the Roman Empire by establishing the Roman Sultanate. However, the Western Holy Roman Empire disagreed. According to the West Roman Empire, they are the legitimate successors of the Roman Empire. And in the end, the Ottoman remained the Ottoman 😂.
Zoroastrianism have nothing to do with Europe. The original religions of Europe are paganistic with their pantheons (Germanic, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Illyrian, Thracian etc etc). Armenians become christians in 301. Check your facts manipulator. Plus Christianity is not Armenian thing but possibly Phoenician. Armenian religion was also pagan polytheism. With heavy Greek and Persians influence.
More than 50 years later it would be restored but never being able to enjoy its former might and prestige. Yet remarkably it still managed to limp on for another two centuries before the Ottomans under Mehmet II put it out of its misery.
It’s a travesty what happened in 1204. It’s a travesty how the Byzantium Empire shrank over the next 250 years. 2:40 ⁉️ It’s also a travesty how England shrank over the next 250 years.
Byzantines. Greeks with Roman citizenship that gradually took under their control the Roman state after the western part was permanently lost. Both Greeks (ethnically) and Romans (politically). And once again the comment section is full of the same troll accounts that are trying to take advantage of the fact that medieval Byzantine Greeks were Roman citizens in order to wrongly present them as the same people as the ancient romans.
Keep dreaming. The only fake accounts were made by you.. It's easy to tell which ones are yours because the spelling of the names is nonsensical, like Gilpau Belid, Capri Ama and Ewoud Alliet. There were no Byzantine Greeks, ONLY proud Romans. PERIOD. No matter how much you wish it to be otherwise. Their nation was the Roman Empire, colloquially they referred to their motherland as Romania. They were ethnically Romans, hence why they identified with Rome and the Roman Empire. Greece was a backwater province land that held little worth for the medieval Romans. ROMANIA ruled Hellas. Always remember that.
@@ΡωμαϊκόνΠύρ Nah, I don't need fake accounts like you have in order to upvote my own comments. It's not like I'm an American (or was it Canadian) that sometimes is lying that he's Greek and other times is claiming that he's "Roman". 😂 If I was writing this kind of nonsense I would need as many fake accounts as you have. Have other people called you out on it since the last time we talked? Is that why you pretend that I have other accounts?So apart from the people that were commenting on it last time, others understood you as well? 🤣 I told you to be more careful when you're upvoting yourself, especially in old videos. But you're too greedy and you're making it way too obvious. 🤷♂️ Did you finally learn where Constantinople is located geographically? Last time that we talked and you lied that your parents were from there you even made a mistake about the City's location. And you wrote the City's name incorrectly in Greek as well. You didn't even know to write IC XC/NI KA correctly, "Greek". It's one thing to be interested in history, it's another thing to go around and delude yourself that you are "Roman". You are not even an Italian so why don't you snap out of it.
@@nickellead Not really. Neither the Franks nor the Greeks were close to the ancients romans. They were different people. But the medieval Greeks had Roman citizenship and inherited the Roman state from Constantine the Great (that's what the Byzantines believed). The Roman empire may have changed hands (from being controlled by the Latin Romans it came to be controlled by the Greeks) but this transition happened grandually and in a legitimate manner. There was no discontinuation of the Roman state, Byzantine Greeks managed to preserve it for 1000 years and during all that time they continued being Roman citizens . So, unlike the HRE, the byzantine Greeks had every right to carry the "Roman" title. HRE was trying to take away that right by bringing up the Byzantines' Greek ethnicity. They were basically saying that "you can't have the Roman title since you're not Latin Romans, you're Greeks" and the Byzantines were replying " we are Greeks but we are also inheritors of the Roman state and that's all that matters in order for us to be Romans". In other words the HRE was trying to make the Roman title a Latin roman thing, while the Byzantines correctly insisted that it was a Roman state thing. We can see and in the sources that have survived that Byzantines were very careful regarding this. They never tried to base their Roman identity on the ancient/Latin Romans and they never pretended to be the same people as them. On the contrary they always highlighted the fact that their Roman identity was linked exclusively to the roman state, a state that they made their own and they came to control.
@@nickellead Exactly. Furthermore, the eastern Romans thought that the Franks were at least partially Romans. Constantine VII calls the Franks "sons of Rome" in the West. To him, the Franks were the only ones other than the eastern Romans themselves who could claim the Roman title. The HRE was never accepted as being of Roman origin.

I doubt even Muslims consider this a victory to them since relations between the Ayubids and Constantinople were good at the time and they even had an alliance mostly for mutual protection against marauding Turks. The fall of Constantinople was as much a tragedy for Muslim states at the time as it was for Christian ones since it opened the door for the Turkic hordes that drowned Anatolia. They may have been Muslim as well but they brought death and destruction with them culminating with the Black Death more than a hundred years later. I consider the Turks and the Mongols to be the same in this regard btw
lol prophet Mohammad said ''Constantinople will be conquered one day and the (nation??) who conquered this city is a great nation and the commander who conquered this city is a great commander'' or something like that I can't remember. So muslims were expecting this to be happen and they probably didn't get sad about it because the last remnant of the Roman empire was now under the control of a muslim empire. Also why are you guys seeing fall of Constantinople as such a tragedy I don't get it. I mean yeah if you are a christian it can be sad but otherwise it is literally just a conquest of a tiny city it is literally no big deal. Btw about the Turks bringing death and destruction to anywhere they go.. well duh of cours they will in that time not only Turks but every f**king nation were bringing death and destruction to the place they go because it was the rule of that time the most strong one wins. for example look at what crusaders done or mongolians done or even Romans done. Do you really think Romans were conquering lands with love and kisses :D? Btw maybe the conquest of Const. by the Turks wans't a catastrophe like you drama queens mentioned because Turks were seen themselves as Romans they even called themselves Roman (Rum) so they were kinda like new romans with islamic faith and fierce battle tactics and of course lots of poems about gayness...
The answer is very simple. It was because they were promised a payment for a job they did and the Byzantines didn't deliver their end of the bargain. And with their historical apathy and lack of care to the last 3 crusades and the tensions between Venice and Constantinople it didn't take much convincing to sack the city in search of as much gold as possible and leave. This is why you should pay what you owe. This had absolutely nothing to do with religion but with getting your debts due.

Phocas II himself spoke Greek and Latin very fluently, which I find to be a telltale marker of Roman-ness. Phocas was rumored to be descended from the Flavian house of ancient Rome. He was not the last emperor speaking Latin, though. Even the later Palaiologians strove to learn Latin. Mostly to appear as part of the European community of those times, and they also learned Latin so that their proposal to reunite the western and eastern churches would succeed.

Constantinople had a recurring habit of making itself very much disliked if not outright despised by the Latins, so it didn't really take much convincing by the Venezians to get the Crusaders to sack it. This persisting antipathy was also the reason the city was largely left to it's fate when the Ottomans besieged it centuries later.
Half right
You forget that the Pope excommunicated the Crusaders. Or all the Crusades that were called to fight the Ottomans before they took Constantinople. Or that the Latins had basically forced Byzantium to become their protectorate, gaining more out of its trade, than the emperor got out of taxing all its lands. Or the Crusaders invading Zara which had done nothing to anyone.
Their narcissistic nature of the Byzantines was the cause of their Downfall.
There are several particularities of that failed crusade. However the sack of the jewel of the east comes from a cave mentality. This sack is one of the top brutal of all in the history.

Should have mentioned the massacre of the latins 20 years before… that didn’t help Constantinople at all.
What happened here
@ The Byzantine monks in the city incited a mob to kill all of the Italians/Roman Catholics in the city. They decapitated the popes legate and had his head drug around the city by a dog. The ones that did survive were rounded up and sold to the Turks as slaves. So the western crusaders had a pretty good reason to sack the city when they came through.
The bastards got what they deserved in the end. Emperor Baldwin was captured by the bulgarians his army crushed by Kaloyan together with most of the Latin high command. That bastard the red duke died of a hearth attack caused by terror thinking Kaloyan would come and take Constantinople. Most of the nobles and commanders that took part in the sack of the city died from bulgarian arrows or getting literally beaten to a pulp when they fell from their horses. The bulgarians used lassoes to get the knights of their horses and after that the infantry beat the brakes off of them with clubs and axes

Don't massacre thousands of latins
Before Constantinople they also attacked the very pious city of Zara so they attacked 2 main Christian cities in the crusade
@@CCP-Liesthey aren’t latins, true latins are people from Rome, who speak Latin and have Latin ancestry, or people who descend from them such as some Italian, some Spaniards etc. most of the crusaders were people from France or Germany, formerly Gallic and Germanic peoples.

Long story short Money, by then the Crusaders are basically Rouge and Practically Mercenaries originally they wanted to just pay a debt to the Venitians but spiralled into the conquest of Constantinople.
"Oh, not more crusaders? Frederick Barbarossa, I do not want that filthy army in my city, turn back at once!" - Constantinople
I think the fourth crusade are the only time we can say that Constantinople was preached because in 1453 it was a small city state rather than a capital of empire
Doesn't matter about the terrority, the city it's self it's absolutely huge and is capable of being self-sufficent and is unassailable most of the time. So it was breached, 1204, 1261 by the Empire of Nikaea which is a byzantine successor state, and in 1453 by Ottomans there is one in 1376 which was during a civil war, but it's not well documented.
Now I know the main reason was $$$, but to be honest I think they had it coming when they blinded Enrico. If an envoy says something you don't like, deporting him is fine, maybe even fine his paymaster, but blinding an envoy is going too far.
That's a myth though, Dandolo's blindness is considered to be due natural causes as his handwritting in documents he wrote and signed show a gradual deterioration over time; that being said a lot of the leaders of the Crusade had personal reasons behind their conduct like Boniface of Monferrat whose younger brother was murdered 20 years before in the violence and massacres that happened with the accession of the throne of Andronikos Komnenos.
In all fairness, how did this happen? If the crusaders sacked a Christian city to pay the Venetians (why they didn’t ask for an advance I’ll never know): that would be one thing. But to then go out of their way to Constantinople? Why did any of the crusaders agree to this? How was there no mass mutiny?
Western europe didn't like the byzantines that's why they were ok with it
This is from someone elses comment, "MPORTANT! Many people refuse to say that there is a different between a crusader and a templar knight. On this occasion those armies were composed mostly by mercenaries,new recruits and people looking for wealth attracted by the success of previous crusades. Thats why they didnt have a problem attacking other christians and basically screwing the whole point of the crusades. The thumbnail just make this worse. Is the equivalent of false news."
Well they get their money when he is crowned emperor.
Since then he would have the funds to actually pay them.
Didn't the Byzantines murder all catholics within Constantinople a few years prior? That would certainly explain the motivation of the crusaders.
Untill this year , Crusaders doesnt get how Muslims can arrange an army just by an Imam telling them about a holly war, they are just defending their home land,their religion without the need for money or gold or any crown. Europeen did the crusades not to defend their religion , it was only for expedition and Gold
Crusaders were just mercenaries so of course profit was the game.
Not really. As stated in the video; the crusaders who sacked the city were a minority.
@@attika3145 a minority. Lol
Overly cynical, I'm sure some did have some true faith motives. But they were largely used for the profits of the nobility.
1204 Sack of Constantinople was 100% the reason of Eastern empire's downfall. They abandoned the only reason Europe didn't become Arab/Muslim for a millennia just because they were too butthurt with the Byzantines for being Orthodox, speak Greek instead of Latin, being more sophisticated (Theophanu Sklerena taught King Otto's German people how to use cutlery and bath every day) and honestly, being the actual legacy of Ancient Greek and Rome.Not to mention the unholy part that the Church played, in both West and East.
All the crusades were based on lies, profit, most knights were adventurers who were going to seek glory and fortune or at least the forgiveness of their sins, there was nothing holy about these adventures.
Do you know what is the worst part? during the sacking of the city they (of course) had to burn the Imperial Library of Constantinople.
There is no worse crime than book burning in my opinion for many civilizations and people (even if they and their empires had fallen) where alive (in a sense of course) because they where recorded in such places and the only immortality there is, is through these pages. But when a person, civilization or story is forgotten and their memory d*es so do they.
Technically Venezia (Venice) never declared secession from the Roman Empire (as well as Sardinia), even if after Ravenne felt they started to be more and more indipendent de facto. So, technically, this Coul be considered a civil war.
christianity at its worst, mentored by paedophilic holy men
That's wrong. Venice was considered fully indipendent by the byzantines since the age of Basil II, who tried diplomatically to ally Byzantium with Venice to defend himself by the sea raids.
@@WFASPigeonGang ok, prove it. Tell me the moment Venezia declared secession or was occupied by a foreign power. You cannot, it never happened, there were moments when Constanipolis Coul name its dux/doge (yes, it's the name of a Roman Empire magistratum), moments when they named him by themselveses, moments in the middle, the diminishing of the empetial authority was no linear thing and even in the days of Charlemagne he didn't occupy some lands, among them Venezia, not to piss off Costintinopolis, at least not too much, after taking Rome and Longobardia Major
@@Nicods Toso, te lo dico in italiano giusto perché così comprendi bene: quello che dici è storicamente e giuridicamente falso. In primis perché Carlo Magno provò a conquistare l'allora Ducato di Venezia, ma la sua flotta, guidata dal figlio Pipino, venne sconfitta dai Veneziani con l'aiuto dei Bizantini, quindi stare a dire che Venezia dipendeva totalmente da Bisanzio tra l'ottavo e il decimo secolo è mendacia. Dall'ottavo al decimo secolo infatti Venezia finì di essere un territorio amministrato dall'esarcato di Ravenna (ergo sotto amministrazione bizantina) e la Venezia marittima venne riformata in ducato di Venezia, ovvero non più un territorio ma uno stato cliente. Se non conosci la differenza te la spiego: un territorio è una parte facente parte dell'impero che deve ubbidienza all'imperatore, ma che è meno centralizzato e quindi deve minori uomini e risorse all'imperatore stesso rispetto ai Themi. Uno stato cliente è uno stato che agisce per conto proprio in temi di politica interna ed estera ma che tributa denaro in cambio di protezione. Di fatto, per rimarcare un'altra menzogna da te citata, i dogi non venivano eletti direttamente dall'imperatore a seconda della loro influenza: dopo la morte del secondo doge, Marcello Tegaliano, il doge venne continuamente eletto da un'assemblea popolare, e non direttamente scelto dall'imperatore. Comunque, ritornando sul punto della questione, dato che comunque uno stato cliente è uno stato separato da quello da cui dipende, è totalmente erroneo dire che una guerra tra uno stato cliente e quello da cui dipende sia una guerra civile, perché una guerra è civile se accade all'interno di un unico stato, non in due separati. Per citarti un esempio: la guerra tra Basilio II e Barda Foca fu una guerra civile perché Barda Foca era un generale bizantino che voleva detronizzare Basilio, mentre la guerra veneziano-bizantina del 1122-1226 non fu una guerra civile perché da un lato c'era Venezia, stato a sé, e dall'altro c'era l'Impero Bizantino, altro stato a sé. Sta di fatto quindi che Venezia era uno stato indipendente già dalla sua riforma a ducato, ma che era pur sempre cliente rispetto all'impero Bizantino. Lo stato di clientela però fu prima allentato da Basilio II e poi totalmente infranto da Alessio I quando questi divenne dipendente della flotta veneziana, di fatto considerando l'impero e Venezia pari diplomaticamente. Amen.

When the term "friendly fire" began earlier than video games
At 7:00, "The capital of Byzantium"... the ignorance at its finest. The city of Byzantium had been renamed Constantinople one thousand years earlier, and it was a city, not an empire. The sentence "The capital of Byzantium" doesn't make any sense.
Even more, it never existed anything like "The Byzantine Empire", as Byzantium had never an empire. That name, for the East Roman Empire, was an invention of a german historian in the 17th century, well after the end of the East Roman Empire, willing its "Holy Roman Empire" to be the only "Roman empire". Nobody in history had previously called the East Roman Empire the "Byzantine Empire"; even the Ottomans, having conquered it, pretended to be called "The third Roman Empire", in opposition to the German "Holy Roman Empire"; Both pretended to be the Third Roman Empire, the reason why that german historian started to call it "The Byzantine Empire" pretending to falsify one thousand years of history
10:15 As an enthusiast of crusader history I did not know Speros Vryonis before this video but it appears he is not an expert in history of the crusades and has bias towards Byzantium and Greece. This statement is simply untrue. Firstly because as far as the crusades to Holy Land countinued throught 12th and 13th centuries it did stop islamic world from advancing forward, second because there were many different theaters and times in which crusades were called. Crusades in Iberia and the Mediterrean succeded to repell islam from Western Europe, ultimetly with Grenada War (1492) and Lepanto (1571). Crusader efforts in the Balkans like Belgrade (1456) or Vienna (1683) also stopped muslim invasions even with many failures along the way and ultimetly led to decline od the Ottomans. Also each crusade should be recognized as it's own thing. Regarding crusader movement in general as a failure is simply false. Overall as far as it countinued and there was motivation for them the movement was succesful in the end.
Better read Johnatan Riley-Smith, Thomas Madden, Bernard Hamilton or Thomas Asbridge - historians who really care about crusader history.

Can it be said (roughly), it was the extension of Germanic powers attacking Romans?
Yes indeed. One proof is in the composition of ruling princes and kings of the medieval era, across the old continent of Europe. For example contemporary Spain, despite being a native Iberian peninsula nation, was founded originally by Visigothic chieftains. The Vandals originally colonised pretty much most of northern Africa, but they got destroyed pretty quickly in a war against the Byzantine empire, under Justinian.

If you want to know whether someone is paying lip services to the Eastern Roman Empire, just ask "do you know what happened to Constantinople in 1204"?
Does anyone know how someone could start learning to animate like this? Thanks in advance
The main motive for the sack of Constantinople in 1204 was the desire to expand power.
The Holy German Empire was involved in the events. The HRE considered itself as the Guardian power of Catholic Christianity. There was a logical tendency to expand this power over Byzantium and so become the main undisputed ruler over all Christianity in Europe.
The Venetians were a rising navel and trade power. Byzantium was seen as a rival that had to be weakened and eliminated. By constant raids and attacks on Islands, ports and allied powers Venice became more and more dominant. Constantinople already had to made concessions to this new power. But still, Byzantium existed. And so, this was a great chance to push the great old rival once and for all out of the way.
One of the concessions Byzantium had to make was to let traders from Italy live inside the walls of Constantinople with certain privileges. Since these new citizens became bigger in power and privileges and even dared to fight each other inside the Byzantine capital (Genuans vs Venetians), it was only a matter of time when the backlash came.
And it came with the reign of Androikos I Kommenos. Directly after his coronation the quarters of the Latin population in Constantinople were attacked by angry mobs and thousands of the Latin population killed. This happened in 1182, 22 years before the brutal sack of Constantinople. This was an emotional fuel to the desire to sack Constantinople added to the strategic stimulus.
What this documentary failed to include was that many new Crusaders from Venice filled up the ranks of those disappointed European knights who already had left the Cruzade. So, it was much easier for the Venetians to manipulate this cruzade in their favour.
I feel so bad for the innocent people of Constantinople 😢😢😢

To blame the turks for Constantinople is stupid.The city was taken bc of Mehmet's strategic mind,if he wasn't there they wouldn't be able to take it,at least at that particular attempt.Now consider a city of 300000-500000 people,it would be foolish even to think an attempt to siege the city with ot without cannons.The population is vast and inside the city there are military buildings,the scholae(the schools),surrounded by walls,a fortress inside a fortress guarding the palaces.The 4th Crusade degrade Constantinople from a city built to govern an empire from Scotland to Bagdad and Morroco,to a simple city ruled by mere local kingdom with only inherited traits like titles and walls curved by the world's rulers.

@@theawesomeman9821 Yea but they would probably fall in 1550s in that case.
I dont think this is realist point of view. Papacy attacked Eastern Roman Empire at the same time it was under the attack from the Ottomans. It continue to do the same to Serbia. During the reign of Tzar Dušan, Papacy ordered a attack on Serbia somewhere before 1350. While Serb army was fighting with Ottomans in whats left of Eastern Roman Empire, Papacy attacked over Hungarian army, which immediately attacked Serbia soon as Catholic priest spies informed Papacy that the Serb army moved to fight Ottoman.
Western Roman empire never stop cooperating with Ottomans and later Turks because main enemy was always, the Orthodox Christians.

Venice still holds the Treasure sack from the crusade such as the horses of Saint mark. This was the faith of the Christian city, I can't imagine the faith of Muslims and Jews City.
Based on history, Christianity is also not the original religion of Europe, the original religion of Europe is pagan/Zoroastrianism which was embraced by the Aryan people. Christianity is the religion of the Armenian people, and in the year 389 AD, Theodosius adopted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire.The Ottoman obtained permission from the Constantinople priest to continue the Roman Empire by establishing the Roman Sultanate. However, the Western Holy Roman Empire disagreed. According to the West Roman Empire, they are the legitimate successors of the Roman Empire. And in the end, the Ottoman remained the Ottoman 😂.

Zoroastrianism have nothing to do with Europe. The original religions of Europe are paganistic with their pantheons (Germanic, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Illyrian, Thracian etc etc). Armenians become christians in 301. Check your facts manipulator. Plus Christianity is not Armenian thing but possibly Phoenician. Armenian religion was also pagan polytheism. With heavy Greek and Persians influence.
This event spell the end of the Eastern Roman Empire
More than 50 years later it would be restored but never being able to enjoy its former might and prestige. Yet remarkably it still managed to limp on for another two centuries before the Ottomans under Mehmet II put it out of its misery.

It’s a travesty what happened in 1204.
It’s a travesty how the Byzantium Empire shrank over the next 250 years.

It’s also a travesty how England shrank over the next 250 years.

What happened in Constantinople happened to most cities the Mongols conquered.

Byzantines. Greeks with Roman citizenship that gradually took under their control the Roman state after the western part was permanently lost. Both Greeks (ethnically) and Romans (politically). And once again the comment section is full of the same troll accounts that are trying to take advantage of the fact that medieval Byzantine Greeks were Roman citizens in order to wrongly present them as the same people as the ancient romans.
Keep dreaming. The only fake accounts were made by you.. It's easy to tell which ones are yours because the spelling of the names is nonsensical, like Gilpau Belid, Capri Ama and Ewoud Alliet. There were no Byzantine Greeks, ONLY proud Romans. PERIOD. No matter how much you wish it to be otherwise. Their nation was the Roman Empire, colloquially they referred to their motherland as Romania. They were ethnically Romans, hence why they identified with Rome and the Roman Empire. Greece was a backwater province land that held little worth for the medieval Romans. ROMANIA ruled Hellas. Always remember that.
@@ΡωμαϊκόνΠύρ Nah, I don't need fake accounts like you have in order to upvote my own comments. It's not like I'm an American (or was it Canadian) that sometimes is lying that he's Greek and other times is claiming that he's "Roman". 😂 If I was writing this kind of nonsense I would need as many fake accounts as you have. Have other people called you out on it since the last time we talked? Is that why you pretend that I have other accounts?So apart from the people that were commenting on it last time, others understood you as well? 🤣 I told you to be more careful when you're upvoting yourself, especially in old videos. But you're too greedy and you're making it way too obvious. 🤷♂️
Did you finally learn where Constantinople is located geographically? Last time that we talked and you lied that your parents were from there you even made a mistake about the City's location. And you wrote the City's name incorrectly in Greek as well. You didn't even know to write IC XC/NI KA correctly, "Greek". It's one thing to be interested in history, it's another thing to go around and delude yourself that you are "Roman". You are not even an Italian so why don't you snap out of it.
They were closer to being ancient roman than the Franks or HRE ever was.
@@nickellead Not really. Neither the Franks nor the Greeks were close to the ancients romans. They were different people. But the medieval Greeks had Roman citizenship and inherited the Roman state from Constantine the Great (that's what the Byzantines believed). The Roman empire may have changed hands (from being controlled by the Latin Romans it came to be controlled by the Greeks) but this transition happened grandually and in a legitimate manner. There was no discontinuation of the Roman state, Byzantine Greeks managed to preserve it for 1000 years and during all that time they continued being Roman citizens . So, unlike the HRE, the byzantine Greeks had every right to carry the "Roman" title. HRE was trying to take away that right by bringing up the Byzantines' Greek ethnicity. They were basically saying that "you can't have the Roman title since you're not Latin Romans, you're Greeks" and the Byzantines were replying " we are Greeks but we are also inheritors of the Roman state and that's all that matters in order for us to be Romans". In other words the HRE was trying to make the Roman title a Latin roman thing, while the Byzantines correctly insisted that it was a Roman state thing. We can see and in the sources that have survived that Byzantines were very careful regarding this. They never tried to base their Roman identity on the ancient/Latin Romans and they never pretended to be the same people as them. On the contrary they always highlighted the fact that their Roman identity was linked exclusively to the roman state, a state that they made their own and they came to control.
@@nickellead Exactly. Furthermore, the eastern Romans thought that the Franks were at least partially Romans. Constantine VII calls the Franks "sons of Rome" in the West. To him, the Franks were the only ones other than the eastern Romans themselves who could claim the Roman title. The HRE was never accepted as being of Roman origin.
Im a Croat and learning this about the city of Zadar (Zara) just shows how amazing is history i respect and look upon crusaders but what they did there was not good.

@@istvansipos9940 First of all, I was agreeing that division obviously only weakens anything. You who are so hysterical about the non-existence of something that you don't even believe. The Romans obviously didn't bother to document the death of Jesus, because who would record the death of "opponents" of the regime, right? Besides, in fact, there were little records of the Levant region in general in the Roman period. But even so, there were several records, even independent of the Bible, of the death of a certain "King" of the Jews by the Romans in Jerusalem. Actually, the "Big Bang" theory itself came about by a Catholic priest, to explain the magnificent and unique perfection of the universe.

Oy VAY!! -- I am starting to understand why my tribe preferred sane Islamic rule to Latin Christianity.....
I doubt even Muslims consider this a victory to them since relations between the Ayubids and Constantinople were good at the time and they even had an alliance mostly for mutual protection against marauding Turks. The fall of Constantinople was as much a tragedy for Muslim states at the time as it was for Christian ones since it opened the door for the Turkic hordes that drowned Anatolia. They may have been Muslim as well but they brought death and destruction with them culminating with the Black Death more than a hundred years later. I consider the Turks and the Mongols to be the same in this regard btw
Are you Iraqi by any chance?
@@markeedeep Nope
@@NTLuck an Arabic person basically?
I give up then, sorry 😁
lol prophet Mohammad said ''Constantinople will be conquered one day and the (nation??) who conquered this city is a great nation and the commander who conquered this city is a great commander'' or something like that I can't remember. So muslims were expecting this to be happen and they probably didn't get sad about it because the last remnant of the Roman empire was now under the control of a muslim empire. Also why are you guys seeing fall of Constantinople as such a tragedy I don't get it. I mean yeah if you are a christian it can be sad but otherwise it is literally just a conquest of a tiny city it is literally no big deal.
Btw about the Turks bringing death and destruction to anywhere they go.. well duh of cours they will in that time not only Turks but every f**king nation were bringing death and destruction to the place they go because it was the rule of that time the most strong one wins. for example look at what crusaders done or mongolians done or even Romans done. Do you really think Romans were conquering lands with love and kisses :D?
Btw maybe the conquest of Const. by the Turks wans't a catastrophe like you drama queens mentioned because Turks were seen themselves as Romans they even called themselves Roman (Rum) so they were kinda like new romans with islamic faith and fierce battle tactics and of course lots of poems about gayness...
I love the thumbnail
The answer is very simple. It was because they were promised a payment for a job they did and the Byzantines didn't deliver their end of the bargain. And with their historical apathy and lack of care to the last 3 crusades and the tensions between Venice and Constantinople it didn't take much convincing to sack the city in search of as much gold as possible and leave. This is why you should pay what you owe. This had absolutely nothing to do with religion but with getting your debts due.
Was Constantinople running away with their money?
@@Mohazz88 A country can't "run away" but they sure didn't want to pay the crusaders.
