As always, great video, the like to dislike ratio shows, how great of videos you make, ur story telling is amazing and so is the content. it is not far that history lovers find ur channel and you become the most subbed history channel.
Unreal as always!!!Thank U History Channel!love as well that U can connect it with a last part-about Seljuks and IL-Ghazi.Same land and so much history from so many thousands of years in this place...
Fantastic narration, you really brought the history alive. Also, its great to see content about medieval Italy, its history is fascinating but often somewhat neglected.
Venice produced so much beauty -in art,architecture and music -think of the Doge's Palace, the paintings of Titian,Veronese,Tintoretto and Tiepolo -the sublime music of the Gabrielis, the operas of Monteverdi, the concertos of Vivaldi-the "Four Seasons" etc
Thank you for augmenting a subject I knew a reasonable amount of, but filling in a lot of new information. Truly a nice experience leaning from your videos!
Very nice video as always. Also do you have these pre-prepared or something because the rate at which you make these is nuts...not that I'm complaining of course.
this video (like all of history times videos) is great, but every time you mention the "Doge" being the leader of Venice, I think "Vinician gold the original Doge coin"
I almost never comment, but I make a point to on all your videos. You're a positive impact on the world, and the knowledge you distribute is very valuable
I'm glad Venice didn't go to overboard with the wars against Christians. They might've been a little self-centered, but I'm glad to hear that overall, they contributed to the Crusades and didn't do anything crazy or have any negative influences :)
Dude, wtf, you literally just uploaded a 30 mins documentary. Are you even sleeping? Love Venice - as an econ student, I love learning about these merchant states.
@@Nozylatten In all honesty, 6 months ago, I've purged away from all news and social media (but youtube) because I was obsessing over politics/economics so I haven't followed much. I just know you don't win trade wars "easily" nor is it ever beneficial. There is this story that goes: "I have this incredible machine that allows me to turn Midwest wheat into Japanese cars - trade" and that's true. So really we are shooting ourselves in the foot. But since the trade war is happening, and saying we shouldn't do it is kinda pointless, the truth is the US will win simply because we don't rely on exports/imports that much. The US is not a country, it's more like the EU and a lot of US production and consumption is very national. It's also the biggest market worldwide and so everyone wants to sell to it. So there is definitely a lot in favor of the US. But again, that will come at a huge cost, especially today when supply chains are worldwide and any change can have significant impacts. It's no longer so simple as "we produce in the US'", it's x part of the car is produced in y country, assembled in b, painted in d and sold in t. Trying to bring back manufacturing to the US is misunderstanding the complexity and purpose of these systems. Also, the idea that trade/deficits destroyed jobs, especially with China, is just wrong. Over 80% of job destruction has been put on automation - Germany which has a SURPLUS with China still saw similar job reduction in the manufacturing industry since the 2000s.
Okay I've just got to ask. How do you produce such high quality content so regularly? Please don't stop. Thanks for the research and work put into these. I love the background music and well adapted images! Edit: also I really appreciate you actually spend the time providing in depth context before attacking your subject.
The Venetians greatest mistake was to attack the Romans. That opened the floodgates to the Turks who, some time later, would launch a attack into the heart of europe. But by God, they were smart guys.
@@HistoryTime The picture you paint with your videos on the crusader period is very detailed and comprehensible at the same time. I really like that and learned way more than I ever did at school! (and I do like the music ;-) )
Yes it's marvellous work. To be picky, Sidon is Side-on, Latakia has the accent on the second syllable, the adjective for Genoa is Genoese etc. But yes, the passion shines though and interest is created and held
Nice video like always if i may suggest a topic the crusade of 1101 would be a nice topic because a crusade so unlucky and disorganized would provide a bunch of material for a video
It's so hard to wrap your head around the fact that Venice was a power at all. It's just one city. Even if it's a very wealthy city, the fact that it was a player in the great game for so long is like a glitch in the system.
and britain was just an island, yet it was the largest empire in history. hell who knows one day people might tremble at the name of the galactic empire of fiji
Your best narration yet. Really enjoyed the stories added. However, for the love of Antioch, consider that the presentation of the maps is all over the place. This makes things very confusing for someone not completely familiar with the geopolitical maps of that period. For example, the maps frequently jump back and forth in time, often without dates, even though the narrative is moving forward after the introduction. During the siege of Tyre, it's hard to find the city on the map, and when you do, the map paints it as controlled by the crusaders, when this runs counter to your own narrative. There is even what looks like a modern day map of Isreal thrown in at 18:38! Maps are big for us visual people, great maps and chronological order just makes things so much easier to understand.
Thanks! I am a one man team- First and foremost I'm a writer - I had absolutely no skills in video production prior to a year ago. Now that I'm finally not losing money on the channel I'm hoping to concentrate on learning how to make videos, or getting somebody else on board to do that side of things.
I agree, but don’t sweat it. If I gave my kid a map and a Thomas guide, he’d never be able to even leave the street. I think the narration is much more important.🤷♀️. JMHO.
I’d like to say thanks for your videos. I’m very interested in medieval history, and I read a LOT, but let’s be honest a lot of it is pretty dry. So kudos for slogging through and giving a great, concise presentation. 👍🏻
Hi, I love your videos ! But it drives me nuts when historians of antiquities use the word "decimate". Yes, it has unfortunately become representative of a large amount of destruction, however it also specifically refers to a 1/10 destruction of roman unit for cowardice. Sorry, just had to get that out. (Decimation count for this video: 3 )
Thanks for the reply. It is a good word to use :) I 'm just trying to figure out how close to the romans can we get before we revert to its roman meaning. The progression of language does certainly change meaning over time and there are many roman words that today mean very different things to us. Anyways, thanks again for creating videos that are engaging, well researched and entertaining. I'm a history fanatic and your videos are always excellent. Cheers!
1099: Venice destroys a Pisan crusader fleet on behalf of the Byzantines. Then they pillage the Byzantine island of Rhodes. Then they sail down to Acre and negotiate huge trade concessions from the Kingdom of Jerusalem in exchange for naval support against the Egyptians. THEN they keep trading with the Egyptians anyway, despite fighting them on occasion to keep their end of the bargain with the crusaders. The medieval Venetians may have been mercenaries and scoundrels, but DANG you have to amazed at the balls it must have taken to pull stunts like that and get away with it.
you cover the time btwn 1099-1123 but you start with 1123, then half way thru go to 1099. why not stick with chronological time so its easier to fit pieces together from historic events already learned. ?
Venice and Croatian conflict (I say Croatia not Hungary because the kingdom of Croatia fought Venice before the union with Hungary) played a big part in croatian history. The proof of that are the books writen by one of the great croatian novel writers August Šenoa with the title "Čuvaj se Senjske ruke" (beware the hand from Senj - literal translation) about Uskoci (croatian guerilla/pirates) fighting the Venice occupation.
What happened to the city of Ascalon (Aschelon), was it taken by the Crusader States or did it remain in Fatamid hands for years to come? The High Middle Ages were such exciting times, at least for us sitting here behind a desk with little chance of being massacred by ravaging fanatics and bloodthirsty merchants.
Funny thing is it was always very few Christians who always fought amongst each other, it just shows the skill that they had just to hold the Holy Land against literally country for people.
I wonder why the Byzantines didn't attack Venice. I mean how many troops would you need for that? And there's even a land passage through a shared border.
One mistake on your map of the Eastern trade routes: by the time of your film, Khazaria no longer existed being destroyed by Svetoslav the Mighty and his Rus armies.

That naval battle in the beginning of the video was epic and amazingly narrated. Love this channel.
That intro was really well narrated. You have a knick for storytelling that no other history channel has. Keep it going man, love your content.
more Pisa please i grew up there..and more about how venice did in the coming centuries ,would also be appreciated. Thanks man great videos.

How do you crank out so much quality and quantity so consistently? Loving your channel since I first subbed :D Keep it up!
Thanks man. Appreciate that. I just work all the time. There are so many stories to tell.

So entertaining and enlightening. You've got us history fanatics just shaking our heads. Love this channel.
Venice might be my favorite city in the world. You should do a series of videos on Venetian history. It’s an amazing story.
yup, one of ur best works to date
...the illustrations (the Venetian Laguna and navy especially) where gorgeous.

This was great. Hardly ever hear anything about this in other crusade podcasts.
Glad you liked it! Much more on the way.
Had been looking for just this! The rise of Venice
Venice produced so much beauty -in art,architecture and music -think of the Doge's Palace, the paintings of Titian,Veronese,Tintoretto and Tiepolo -the sublime music of the Gabrielis, the operas of Monteverdi, the concertos of Vivaldi-the "Four Seasons" etc

Brillant documentary. Would anyone know of any more documentaries especially from 1125 or around that time?
Great content

6:45 "He could smell an opportunity when he saw one."
This sounds like a mixed metaphor to my nose.
Just mixing it up a bit. You are right though..
Nice video like always if i may suggest a topic the crusade of 1101 would be a nice topic because a crusade so unlucky and disorganized would provide a bunch of material for a video
100% on the cards.
Stop using fluffy propaganda words like “crusaders” and use the correct word which is “invaders”
These videos are great, should be called history time at bed time!
sound cuts out from 14:57 to 14:43 so the content is lost I guess. great doc!
A sufficiently detailed documentary :)
Thanks
P.S. I thought Venetians used galleys in 1122 not man o'wars 24:12
JJ Norwich calls them man-o-wars, and that man was a legend so I accept his judgment.
