      Another problem with the video is that it shows the areas controlled by the Germanic kingdoms during the late Roman Empire and Dark Ages as totally Arian (1:58). The Roman populations under the Germanic rule were Nicene. So the areas shown as Arian really should be striped and not totally colored as Arian.
      Plus, not everyone in Mauritania and Africa were Donatist. These areas should also be striped and not colored solidly Donatist (1:58).
      Plus there should be some reference to Gnostic Christianity which was very strong in Egypt during the late Roman period and the Dark Ages.
      The Cathars should also be mentioned. They were very strong in southern France during the early Crusade period (4:30). They also were fairly strong in the Rhineland.

    The “Celtic Church “ thing is completely wrong IMO. Ireland and Scotland didn’t have a church called like that , they were Catholics under the authority of the Pope like the rest of Western European nations. Some historians use the term “Celtic Christianity “ because they had some particular traditions and customs not seen in other regions of Europe , but they were still Catholics in communion with the Holy See.

      I agree, but I believe what the video is referring to "churches" before the 1000s are a mix of communions, creeds and traditions or rites.
      Examples of the creed-based categories are Nicene Christianity, Monophysite, Arianism. Armenian Apostolic also had a different creed.
      Rites include Latin, Greek, Celtic.
      Later on do we only see the relevance of communions, wherein we see the different rites becoming "stricter" in delineating what constitutes their Church.

      ‘Tehcir Law’ happened (meaning “Deportation” in Ottoman Turkish).
      Which allowed muslim Turks and Kurds to deport all Armenians who inhabited Anatolia to the Middle East and surrounding areas, in response to the countless of Armenian revolts started in late 19th century which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians (most of them being muslim Kurds).
      During the Caucasus campaign alone for example, over 150.000 Turks and other Muslims were massacred by Armenian volunteer units.
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehcir_Law
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_campaign
      According to the Ottoman census of 1914 (with help of France), roughly 1.1 million Armenians lived in Anatolia.
      99% of them were forcibly deported, many died on the way and others got rounded up and executed by Ottoman officials. Many of them got charged for their crimes but others got away with it by fleeing to other countries.
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Ottoman_Empire#/media/File%3AProportions_des_populations_en_Asie_Mineure_statistique_officielle_d1914.png
      Turkey says that 600.000 Armenians were killed directly (by executions) or indirectly (dying of thirst during deportation) and roughly half a million made it out alive, outside of Ottoman territory. That’s why today, there are alot of Armenians living at the Syrian/Turkish border.
      Turkey sees these events as an “ethnic cleansing by forced deportation” and not by genocide.
      But the main reason why Turkey denies it, is because they don’t want to accept the biased view of these events and rather wants all historical facts to be put on table.
      Each story has 2 sides. Turks and Kurds killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians. That’s true (even Turkey acknowledges it) but Armenians were not angels as they portray themselves and have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties as well.
      Since 2002, Turkey expressed multiple times that Turkey would acknowledge the mass killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians during World War I as genocide ONLY after a thorough investigation by a joint Turkish-Armenian commission consisting of historians, archaeologists, political scientists and other experts. In order to have a least biased/Pro-Armenian view of the events.

Plus the center of Lutherism in Livonia was Riga not Tallinn. Second of all and most importantly Courland was a Lutheran stronghold ever since reformation with a Catholic minority living there. Latgale on the other hand, after it was incorporated in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been a Catholic stronghold. Still being the worlds northernmost Catholic region. Still there's a considerable Orthodox and even more interestingly Old believers minority. In Vidzeme since it's incorporation into Sweden in 1629, we can't even talk about an Catholic minority, Cathols and everyone else not Orthodox Lutheran were banished from Vidzeme.

As a matter of fact, Greek Orthodox is the majority Church for Christians in the Levant, not the native Syrian Church. It’s locally called “Rum Orthodox” (i.e; Roman Orthodox), also called “Byzantine Church”… most of its adherents are native converts from Syriac Communities (during the Byzantine period), as well as some descendants from Christian Arab tribes like the Ghassanids. Another term used for its adherents is “Orthodox Melkites”, which referred to the natives as Aramaic-speaking loyalists to the Byzantine King.

    Some mysterious event happened around 1270. that converted southern Croatia from Orthodox to Catholic (according to this clip). Yet, in 925. and 928. councils were held in Split, attended by Croatian King within the context of subordination of the Croatian church to Rome.

    Great video! I understand it is difficult to include that, but the christianity of Romanians coincides with their ethnogenesis. The Romanians appeared as a Christian people from their beginnings (late antiquity) as proven by the basic church vocabulary inherited from Latin which sometimes is slightly different from Western Romance. Because christianity is an organized religion with a church, bishops, priests it might have had a very important contribution (besides language) to the cohesion of the Proto-Romanians and to the formation of a (proto-)Romanian identity as opposed to the Slavs around who became Christian (much) later. Even if Romanians during the Middle Ages adopted the Orthodox rite through Old Church Slavonic, this language was not at all understood by the people so the Bible and other books were translated into Romanian (16 century). While the Romanian language adopted some specific terms related to the Orthodox rite from Old Church Slavonic and Greek, the basic Latin church vocabulary remained intact.

In 585 Galicia was conquired by visigothics but in 589 the visigoths convert them to catholicism under galician influence.

    The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox Churches ("Monophysite" which for some reason you split among Armenian, Syriac, Coptic, and Abyssinian), and the Church of the East (Assyrian/Nestorian) are all part of Nicene Christianity. The Assyrian Church left in 431 after Ephesus and the Oriental Churches left in 451 after Chalcedon. So the timeline there is a little off.
    *Also in 451 the Armenian Church didn't actually end communion with the rest of Chalcedonian Christianity since it was preoccupied with the Battle of Avarayr. It rejected the Council of Chalcedon in 506 and then officially broke off relations in 609.
    **Also showing Mesopotamia as striped is pretty off since Edessa and the former Kingdom of Osroene were Christian strongholds. With Edessa (modern-day Urfa) being 1/3 Christian until World War One...Also Tur Abdin (around Mardin) with a huge Syriac Orthodox population existed as an entity until then with pickets still remaining till this day.

      So, indeed, most Bosniaks(in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro; the Kingdom of Bosnia encompassed also Dalmatia and western parts of Serbia and Montenegro along the modern border before the Ottomans came; a good part of Sandžak was, turkish croatia is in Bosnia and is called Bosanska Krajina, although mentioned in some old documents as such) are descendants of those same persecuted Bosnian Church members. In addition, during the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and Hungary in late 15th to 17th centuries, many Bosniaks moved to those newly conquered lands to be landlords initially by the order of the sultan, because of lack of native converts to Islam and the speed of the conquest to have the land secured. So Bosniaks actually moved outwards in that period, no doubt a lot of Croats and Hungarians have Bosnian roots due to that.
      Need I say how many Croats are Croatianized Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, etc.(from the Habsburg period and before) or how many Serbs are Serbianized Bulgarians(along the border), Vlachs, Bosniaks(due to persecution in 19th and 20th centuries), whose asimilation was even easier and more likely due to having the same religion and sect or by having the process being forced under threat of death and ethnic cleansing(in case of Bosniaks)?

What about killing hundreds of thousands, kept torturing and displacing them or discriminating against them such as Australian government kept forcebily removing Indigenous children from their families and they didn't do that in 17th century rather as late as 1970, only 50 years ago!! But i bet it was again for protecting those people not for assimilating them, right??? Here reduce your enormous ignorance a little bit and learn how Christians ethnic cleansed those continents:

      @Alem Ganbold we Greeks have always had a deep faith in divine power and judgment. At the time of the Apostle Paul's visit to Athens there was a statue dedicated to the one and only God in the city square οf Athens. Our ancestors have always believed that there was a unique one but couldn't actually explain it. apostle Paul used this statue as an excuse and started his speech about the one and only God.even our well-known philosopher Socrates, besides accusing him of seducing young people, believed in the existence of one God, and rejected them 12. In hearing these statements, the judges of Elias condemned him to drink the cone.
      Another Saint of that time was Dionysious of Areopagit was one of the first Athenians to believe in Christ. At an early age, he was in Heliopolis, Egypt (near present-day Cairo) at the time of the Lord's Crucifixion. On that Good Friday at the time of the crucifixion of Christ, though noon, the sun was "darkened, and darkness was darkened until the morning" (Matt. 27:45). Dionysius was shocked by this paradoxical phenomenon and exclaimed: "God suffers or everything is lost" ("God suffers or everything is lost"). He carefully noted the day and time of this supernatural event of the darkening of the Sun.
      When he returned to Athens, he heard the Apostle Paul's preaching on the High Ice talking about that supernatural darkness at the Crucifixion of the Lord, dispelling any doubts as to the validity of his new faith. He was baptized with his family in the year 52 AD. Dionysius' acceptance of Christ is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles in chapter 17 and verse 34 "what men were glued to believe, as both Dionysius the Hieropagite and the wife of Damascus".

    • @gtriemek
      @gtriemek 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Alem Ganbold there's no one answer to your question as to why the Greeks dropped paganism and embraced christianity. One simple answer to the question that is well known among every scholar is that the ancient Greeks believe in not 12 Olympian God's but 13. What many people dont know is the 13th God is never mentioned. When the Athenians were building the temples to all of the Gods they also resurrected the 13th temple dedicated to the "Unknown God" in fear of not insulting a God they may of overlooked. Later on when St. Paul came to Athens he stood in front of the temple and said "men of Athens I have come to you to tell you that I have found and know the name of this unknown God".read Acts 17:22-31
      Overall we can see the parallel of Zeus and Hercules story to christianity that may of paved the way for the ancient Greeks to recognize who is the true saviour of mankind. If one was to break down into the philosophical level of Hercules and Jesus one can clearly see as did the ancient Greeks that Hercules over all story is about him redeeming himself which is a selfish act and Jesus Christ is about redeeming mankind which is a selfless Act.

It should have been fully yellow since like 4th century. And even if we leave georgia, and go more east, till caspian sea, there used to live so called albanians, native caucasian people who were christians. So whole region from black to caspian sea should have been colored for some period. Not leaving white space. Whereas brown armenian church should have been more south. In modern or past territory of armenia.

You can always nitpick about details of course, as with any grand strategic view of anything, but as an unfolding summary this is excellent I'd say. I'd like to see one for the Americas and of course other areas where the gospel has been taken like India, Asia and more recently, in the last few hundred years, Africa. Great stuff and well done !

    We have written accounts that there was a church consecrated for Pribina in Nitra (Slovakia).

Cyril and Methodius mission in Great Moravia.
