Great video. It demonstrates how it was not a sure thing that the Ottoman forces were going to win. There was a chance that the siege could have failed.
Hey guys, I'm Ege Gunes, the head researcher and writer for the first season on the history of the Ottomans here at K&G. I just wanted to take a second to thank you all for all the positive comments and support over the last two years on our series and onwards to season two!

@@Kili2807not sure but I think there will be atleast 1 if not 2 videos looking at Skanderbeg's pov and covering some of his most brilliant victories like Albulena, Italian expedition, Macedonian campaign etc
Man... The fall of Constantinople is a very big historical event that totally worth to see it and read about it, it changed Europe's geopolitics but also influenced a lot of decisions of many European countries that would shape the world history for the next 500 years!!!
I first was introduced to your channel many years ago in 2018 watching your original fall of Constantinople doc. Now we are here many years later with an even better one!
37:54 Fatih Sultan Mehmed was so angry after this incident that he himself rode his horse into the sea to stop the ships. This incident was depicted by the painter Zonaro in the 18th century.
Vikings did that on a large scale many years before. They were dragging their "drakkars" for 10-15 km (!) between the upper courses of Dniper, Neva and Volga , thus gaining access to the Black and Caspian seas. This technique was definitely well-known to the Byzantines, as Vikings traveling south this way formed the famous Varangian Guard that fought and won so many battles for their Byzantine emperor masters. Harald Hardraada (later king of Norway and contender for the English throne at Stamford Bridge) was a member of this elite unit at Constantinople during his youth.
@@cenktuneygok8986 The technical solution of rolling them on greased wooden logs is exactly the same in both cases. The only thing that differs is number of people dragging. Longboats were pulled by their crews of perhaps 20-30 persons, larger turkish galleys by hundreds, plus oxen. Maybe common people were shocked seeing enemy vessels navigating the Golden Horn that morning, but Byzantine strategists and military leaders were surely aware this old maneuver was absolutely possible, given the vast amounts of resources (manpower and draft cattle) available to their enemies. Moreover, during the 1097 reconquest of Nicaea by the combined Byzantine-Crusader army, emperor Alexios I sent boats rolling overland on logs from Marmara Sea to Lake Ascanius in order to block the lake route that Seljuk Turks were using to suply the besieged city. So, the basic idea was well-known before to both Turks and Byzantines.
Founded by Constantine, ended with Constantine. Began as a city state, ended as a city state. Conquered by Mehmed, Surrendered by Mehmed. A city of so many coincidences, it can only be called destiny.
After the conquest of Constantinople Mehmed II not only styled himself Sultan of Rome but also lived up to his new title conquering more former Roman strongholds like Pontus, Iconium, Sinope,...
I've probably watched over a dozen documentaries on the fall of Constantinople, but man was it nice to see this and get something to listen to at work. Good video as always!
What a colossal end to such a magnificent empire - The real question wasn't so much that it would fall, but rather how did it survive so long? Outstanding video K&G crew.

The Roman Empire began as a city-state and ended as a city-state. Who would have thought that a village of outcasts and scum would give rise to one of the greatest empires in history?
IT was the strong islamic faith that made the ottomans strong ever since osman ottomans or kayi at that time believed in jihad as a way of achieving glory, they only had two things in mind one was to fight in the way of ALLAH second was to create a strong muslim state in the region and to expand the religion. thier faith was strong to an extent that they believed that if they survive than they are GHAZI(HOLY WARRIORS) AND if died than SHAHEED(martyrs) they believed strongly that struggle and heaven is meant for them same faith has been utilized by many muslims throughout the centuries including arabs fighting against eastern roman empire and sassanid persia or salahudding ayubi and nuruddin zengi fighting against crusaders .
@stmc2618 The Crusaders were warriors dedicated to God, with the cross of Christ as their standard. In the Iberian Peninsula, they freed the region from Muslim rule, allowing maritime exploration and the formation of global empires. They spread the Christian faith, destroyed the Turkish Empire after centuries of strife and contributed to the creation of Israel. And it is never too late to retake Constantinople. I bet we can count on the Armenians and Kurds for payback.
The myth of the Kerkoporta gate being left unlocked was debunked by historians a couple decades ago. No ottoman source has ever mentioned this detail and this has only been mentioned in western sources aiming to undermine the achievement of the ottoman army. Only some minor critical thinking is sufficient to conclude that this myth has been made up: Can the defenders after 2 months of heavy fighting experience really possibly forget to lock a gate? After locking it behind themselves dozens of times prior? Could they be so ignorant after months of effort they put in, on the very day the Turks were making their greatest assault yet? Let's just assume for a second that the Italian mercenaries somehow forgot to close it (don't want to repeat myself but this really is impossible when you think about it), was there NOBODY else there to close it? What happened to the guards responsible for opening and closing the gate? Did they vanish into thin air? Was the whole area abandoned of people after the mercenaries fell back so no one could see the very door protecting them from their death open? None of the possible explanations make any sense
Kesinlikle doğru söylüyorsun. Fethin ihtişamını gölgeleme adına uydurulmuş Rezalet bir yalan. Avrupalılar şehrin Kana Kan göze göz dişe diş çarpışarak alındığını hazmedemeyip kapının açık bırakıldığını uydurdular.
When it comes to human error, I'll never consider anything impossible. Just look what happened to the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, when 3 dudes failed to check if the bow was closed. Result? It sank with them on board :P
@@tensaibr Yes, but what are the odds of men of that experience making such a high level error during the most critical point of arguably the most important/famous siege in history. Considering the extremity of the muslim-christian rivalry at the time and the fact that this incidence is only mentioned in christian chronicles also adds perspective
Well, it is not shocking of how they did it since years ago, my ancestors enforced the same strategy in Nicea in the 1st crusade. The shock came as they weren't informed or being repeled by the latins on the opposite side of the city.
I knew this day would come... Fascinated by how the Turks managed to conquer so much and overcome so many disasters, but the year 1453 kept ticking closer and closer... "God forbid that I should live as an Emperor without an Empire. As my city falls, I will fall with it. Whosoever wishes to escape, let him save himself if he can, and whoever is ready to face death, let him follow me." Constantine XI Palaeologus. One of the bravest men I ever read about.
51:13 Thank you K&G for this incredible nostalgia, I miss this song that played when a major setback occurred in the Ottomans, I'm like Julius Caesar when he saw the statue of Alexander and started to lament,crying here because while there are some who, at 20 years old, already conquer cities and others, at 20 years old, conquer from Hellas to Bharat, Here I am, 19 years old, I still haven't managed to pursue the college course I wanted, frustrations in relationships and difficulties in entrepreneurship, but that's it, just like Mehmed II and Alexander the Great, don't give up on your goal.
Constantine XI could truly be considered one of the great emperors of Rome, its a shame he had to be its last one. The Eastern Romans and Constantine lived and died in those final days as true Romans would, fighting and dying as only the true inheritors as Rome could. The Romans of antiquity would have been proud to know that when the fall of their empire came, it came at a bloody price to its enemies.
Constantine XI was always just remembered as a person who inherited a hopeless situation, but the only good thing about him at least is that he made the best of it, unlike all his predecessors.
It's going to be a hard watch for me, and no, I don't care about the Turkish nationalists trying to say otherwise. Rome ended with Constantine XI. No historian ever said the Ottomans were a continuation of Rome.
@@cursedex3755 As a Turkish nationalist, I agree. The sand cult is not suited to advanced societies. While Mehmed II was somewhat an intellectual, most sultans after him lacked this quality until Mahmud II.
Great work as always big fun of the channel. Something to know about future statements on the siege . The name of the church is AGIA SOFIA not HAGIA SOFIA.

I don't know how you guys do it but you guys get better and better, the sher quality and narration of this video is of such high quality it should be taught in schools all over the world !
This video is really great, even if you watch the Netflix series of siege of Constantinople then you can understand it even more . Please continue this series and i really like your quality of work, thanks as always for making history my favourite subject ever.
44:08 aw yesss that music!!! finally it's back, thanks to kings and generals for bringing that back, i hope you will always use that music in your future videos again!!
That serie was very good and interesting. You are keep making your videos quality better and better. I hope your efforts will pay off. Love you soo much Kings and Generalss
Amazing video Kings and Generals definitely worth the wait Sidenote for anyone wondering theres a game called Lines of Battle featuring battles like these
@MELKORBAOUGLIR i know but still constantinople was strong not mainly because of its army as it was known for defeating armies much larger than its it was because of the sea chain and the walls This can be evidently seen as predecessors of mehmed also attempted to conquer this city state and failed drastically
@@ruxmania First of all, that dude literally did ingenious techniques to conquer constantinople, he was a great scholar and his war against wallachian revolt, including all those guerilla warfare and subduing it with such intensity of ambushes, the capture of ontario and if only he would have lived few years longers, that dude was so close to Bari, Venetians feared him so much that they sent the painter in form of good diplomacy . His close relationship with radu was based and though he painted his portrait, The Quran itself does not prohibit visual representation of any living being. The hadith collection of Sahih Bukhari explicitly prohibits the making of images of living beings, challenging painters to "breathe life" into their images and threatening them with punishment on the Day of Judgment. In Islam, a common practice for portrait shipping is to blur the eyes, nonetheless salafis prohibit it entirely, Mehmed was a maturidi so yeah... by his sect he didn't do something sinful although he did; lastly there's no arabic religion, Islam is religion for all human beings across the world and an arab is no superior to any other being (the bloodline of arabs are better as they are linked to important prophets)
@@celaldemirci956 Yeah watch the Sack of Constantinople from @KingsandGenerals ... It was already grounded. We literally took over and rose it up again.
I love how the presentation and detail of this video made it clear that taking Constantinople is still a costly and very risky siege. Sure the Eastern Roman empire is basically reduced to one city left facing the entire strength of the Ottomans, but it's not as one sided per the popular belief. One wrong move and the siege would've ended in a disaster.
"Indeed, we have granted you a clear victory. And Allah will help you with a glorious victory." Surah Al-Fath - 1-10 (Mehmed the Conqueror 1453 🤲 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷)
Thank you for making a video of Fall of Constantinople! I've been interested at this event recently and it's a coincidence that there's a video for it!
This is such an amazing end to the first season! Looking forward to much more with the upcoming seasons. You guys have done such an amazing job with this series and many, many others. For the next season, are you planning to use the same animation style with the maps and battles? It looks great with the style you are using now.
As a Muslim Syrian Arab the conquest of Constantinople is one of those great moments in Islamic history that all Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia take pride in alongside the battles of Yarmouk, Qadissiya, Badr, Ain Jalut, and Hittin The Ottoman Legacy continues to draw admiration and respect among 1.8 billion Muslims even to this day, and we thank you everyone in this channel who worked tirelessly to present and fair and transparent account of Islamic History Your efforts is always appreciated
Nah, not all Muslims love it, a lot of Arabs today don't like them, for example I am a Yemeni Arab and I don't like them at all, thats why my ancestors resisted the conquest
like litrel gays they captured when the defenders didnt even had any help from their christian brothers , pride it seems lol. and still was goimg to give up if they didnt find tht 1 mistake
One of the best if not the best video done by kings and generals remind me of it’s older videos but with better graphics now, love the details included in this video like the sayings of prophet Muhammad (PBUH), can’t wait for my Islamic history videos
This is an incredible series. I really hope you guys do all the videos. I’m looking forward to season two and the rise of Selim, the grim Mehmed’s grandson, the conqueror of Egypt he was pretty much the Catherine, the grade of the Ottoman Empire.
" Emperor we can still make it to escape if we leave now " Constantine XI : I'm going to God my friend. It is my duty ... *Ceaser, Octavian, Aurelian, Basil II: 🥹🥹🥹
It’s truly disappointing to see such a reputable history channel make basic mistakes. The first mistake is the false claim that the Ottomans entered the city through an accidentally left-open gate. Eyewitnesses of the siege do not mention anything like this. The Ottomans entered the city following the Janissaries' final assault on the Topkapı walls. The second major error is the story of Ulubatlı Hasan. In reality, no such person existed; his story was fabricated years after the siege of Istanbul. According to Ottoman records, the first person to enter the city was Balaban Çavuş, a Janissary. Later on, due to his Albanian origins, he was assigned by Mehmet II to the Albanian campaign against Skanderbeg
The Turkish conquest of Constantinople is regarded as the symbolic end of the Middle Ages and the prime indicator for the age of gunpowder warfare, ending and starting eras should be the norm of a visionary like Mehmed the Conqueror
@@Greek.history.enthusiastok, but even respect to the fact that all of Istanbul was not Constantinople, and that all the monuments and architecture visible in the city today don't have a connection to the Byzantine Empire, except for Hagia Sophia, which even the Turks have altered.
@@Greek.history.enthusiast thank you greek friend and same with Turks greeks oldest rivarly them and same wirh alliance happening during Gokturk khaganete tong yabgu alliance on byzantines heraclius against the persian sasanian or The huns and the avars other turkic empires fighting for decades for romans.
Even pre-Ottoman times Turks always had the zeal of conquering Constantinople; Attila's Huns, a Seljuk-Pecheneg-Tzachas coalition plotted a siege of the city while Kutrigurs, Avars, & Bulgars led by Krum besieged it directly
Actually Krum died of a cerebral Hemorrhage before he could begin his siege but it’s true he was preparing the largest force the Balkan Bolghars ever mustered to assault the city. Not that he had any chance to win compared to someone like Mehmed.
@@tylerellis9097 The Seljuk coalition would've had the greatest chance out of those attempts with two strong nomadic armies assisted by naval support from Tzachas yet Alexios Komnenos's extraordinary mastermind played em off against eachother not only preventing such siege and prolonging ERE longevity but also changing the Seljuk owned momentum in favor of his state
@@nenenindonu Indeed where Alexios repeatedly failed in battle he repeatedly succeeded in diplomacy. He Lost a devastating battle against the Pechenegs in 1087 at Drista which ironically saw the Pechenegs begin warring with the Cumans over spoils and allow Alexios afterwards to bribe the Cumans to his cause, joining with them to defeat the Pechenegs at Levounion in 1091.
You guys should make a series about the rise of Lithuania next. Cuz seeing a massive Lithuania in the map makes me and other people want to learn more about it.
One of the most thrilling historical novels set in the Byzantine Greek Empire during the last Siege of Constantinople, is “The Dark Angel” (original title Johannes Angelos), of prominent Finnish writer, Mika Waltari. Truly epic.

There is no Byzantine Greek Empire. It's a modern bullshit term made up by some idiot German historian. It was the Eastern Roman Empire.
They use it as a distinction between the two as they two empires essentially split politically, military and religiously through their empire. One was orthodox and spoke greek, one was Roman Catholic and spoke Latin. They also did not recognise one another as legitimate from 1054. The term Byzantine comes from the local inhabitants and the original name of Constantinople was Byzantium and was build back in 700 BC by greek tribes from Megara.
Fun fact the current name Istanbul is a nickname the Byzantine Greeks would use for their city Constantinople, the ottomans adopted the nickname from the Greeks and renamed it Istanbul after the Greek nickname. The root of “Istanbul” is 'stinpolis' in Greek, and it means a form of the phrase “to the city”. The city - in reference - is the city within city walls.
No.İstan mean is Land in Central Asia Turkic languages.Bul is mean find in turkish language. Istan-bul it is a mean: Find to home Land.

Name of Istanbul was used in the later stages of the Ottoman Empire and was officially adopted in the Republic era. Ottomans called it Konstantinyye for most of their history.
The city is over 2700 years old, the Ottoman Empire only had it for 400 of those years. 700 BC - Byzantium 300 AD - Constantinople after king Constantine 1900 AD - Istanbul. The name «εις στην πόλ» means “to the city” “the city”, there is writings of Greeks referring to the city as this colloquially as far back as 1100 AD. This is 350 years prior to Mehmet or any Turk entering western Anatolia
Like IT that you made a Remastered of the ottoman history. Hope you made it more detailed. Because after the Siege of Vienna 1683 there Was in the 18.Century more battles and Wars.
@@debbielungsodaitfllo I’m also talking about Kings & Generals. This video concludes season 1 of the Ottoman history series. Mehmed vs Dracula will be in the next season. The videos will come in January.
Even for kings and generals. The Romans provided more than half of their content. It is hard to get out of the shadow of the longest lasting state in human history.
Considering how outnumbered and vulnerably positioned they were, it's amazing they held out as long as they did during the siege. Brutal and astounding feats by both sides. This wasn't the one-sided battle I'd always been led to understand it was. Thank you for so much detailed information. I also never knew how much involvement Chios had in this chapter of history; a very long and close friend of the family is from Chios, and returned to live there after retiring.
I appreciate your efforts, I wish you had mentioned that the first mortar in history was invented by order of Sultan Fatih while the siege was still in progress. The Roman galleys in the Golden Horn were sunk with these cannons stationed behind the Galata Tower.
"Conquest of Constantinople" There I fixed the title for you. The city didn't fall, it was just conquered. What fell was Eastern Roman Empire, so better call it "Fall of Byzantium" in this case.

No ottoman source has ever mentioned this detail and this has only been mentioned in western sources aiming to undermine the achievement of the ottoman army. Only some minor critical thinking is sufficient to conclude that this myth has been made up: Can the defenders after 2 months of heavy fighting experience really possibly forget to lock a gate? After locking it behind themselves dozens of times prior? Could they be so ignorant after months of effort they put in, on the very day the Turks were making their greatest assault yet? Let's just assume for a second that the Italian mercenaries somehow forgot to close it (don't want to repeat myself but this really is impossible when you think about it), was there NOBODY else there to close it? What happened to the guards responsible for opening and closing the gate? Did they vanish into thin air? Was the whole area abandoned of people after the mercenaries fell back so no one could see the very door protecting them from their death open? None of the possible explanations make any sense
Yes, the same Western Sources that were not even Eye witnesses.
They Even have that in their info box

When it comes to human error, I'll never consider anything impossible. Just look what happened to the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, when 3 dudes failed to check if the bow was closed. Result? It sank with them on board :P
@@tensaibr Yes, but what are the odds of men of that experience making such a high level error during the most critical point of arguably the most important/famous siege in history. Considering the extremity of the muslim-christian rivalry at the time and the fact that this incidence is only mentioned in christian chronicles also adds perspective
Byzantine reaction to a naval crossing by land:
"Well shit,that definitely wasn't on today's bingo card."
Well, it is not shocking of how they did it since years ago, my ancestors enforced the same strategy in Nicea in the 1st crusade. The shock came as they weren't informed or being repeled by the latins on the opposite side of the city.

51:13 Thank you K&G for this incredible nostalgia, I miss this song that played when a major setback occurred in the Ottomans, I'm like Julius Caesar when he saw the statue of Alexander and started to lament,crying here because while there are some who, at 20 years old, already conquer cities and others, at 20 years old, conquer from Hellas to Bharat, Here I am, 19 years old, I still haven't managed to pursue the college course I wanted, frustrations in relationships and difficulties in entrepreneurship, but that's it, just like Mehmed II and Alexander the Great, don't give up on your goal.

Constantine XI could truly be considered one of the great emperors of Rome, its a shame he had to be its last one. The Eastern Romans and Constantine lived and died in those final days as true Romans would, fighting and dying as only the true inheritors as Rome could. The Romans of antiquity would have been proud to know that when the fall of their empire came, it came at a bloody price to its enemies.
Constantine XI was always just remembered as a person who inherited a hopeless situation, but the only good thing about him at least is that he made the best of it, unlike all his predecessors.
It's going to be a hard watch for me, and no, I don't care about the Turkish nationalists trying to say otherwise. Rome ended with Constantine XI. No historian ever said the Ottomans were a continuation of Rome.
@@cursedex3755 As a Turkish nationalist, I agree. The sand cult is not suited to advanced societies. While Mehmed II was somewhat an intellectual, most sultans after him lacked this quality until Mahmud II.

The parts where Constantine XI was looking at Constantine I statue and was making vows to an emperor of over 1000 years ago. Honorable but haunting.

Wow, can you believe that’s how a 21-year-old ends an Empire? What a fantastic season finale! I loved every moment!
Yeah
At that point i had call the Byzantines a city state not an empire.
@MELKORBAOUGLIR i know but still constantinople was strong not mainly because of its army as it was known for defeating armies much larger than its it was because of the sea chain and the walls
This can be evidently seen as predecessors of mehmed also attempted to conquer this city state and failed drastically
@@ruxmania First of all, that dude literally did ingenious techniques to conquer constantinople, he was a great scholar and his war against wallachian revolt, including all those guerilla warfare and subduing it with such intensity of ambushes, the capture of ontario and if only he would have lived few years longers, that dude was so close to Bari, Venetians feared him so much that they sent the painter in form of good diplomacy . His close relationship with radu was based and though he painted his portrait, The Quran itself does not prohibit visual representation of any living being. The hadith collection of Sahih Bukhari explicitly prohibits the making of images of living beings, challenging painters to "breathe life" into their images and threatening them with punishment on the Day of Judgment. In Islam, a common practice for portrait shipping is to blur the eyes, nonetheless salafis prohibit it entirely, Mehmed was a maturidi so yeah... by his sect he didn't do something sinful although he did; lastly there's no arabic religion, Islam is religion for all human beings across the world and an arab is no superior to any other being (the bloodline of arabs are better as they are linked to important prophets)

I love how the presentation and detail of this video made it clear that taking Constantinople is still a costly and very risky siege. Sure the Eastern Roman empire is basically reduced to one city left facing the entire strength of the Ottomans, but it's not as one sided per the popular belief. One wrong move and the siege would've ended in a disaster.
Indeed, it is a siege, you never know what is gonna happen. A few blockades before that one were lifted by Timur's attack and Varna crusade.

As a Muslim Syrian Arab the conquest of Constantinople is one of those great moments in Islamic history that all Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia take pride in alongside the battles of Yarmouk, Qadissiya, Badr, Ain Jalut, and Hittin

What a way to finish this season. Amazing work. The best series about turkish history ever
It’s truly disappointing to see such a reputable history channel make basic mistakes. The first mistake is the false claim that the Ottomans entered the city through an accidentally left-open gate. Eyewitnesses of the siege do not mention anything like this. The Ottomans entered the city following the Janissaries' final assault on the Topkapı walls. The second major error is the story of Ulubatlı Hasan. In reality, no such person existed; his story was fabricated years after the siege of Istanbul. According to Ottoman records, the first person to enter the city was Balaban Çavuş, a Janissary. Later on, due to his Albanian origins, he was assigned by Mehmet II to the Albanian campaign against Skanderbeg

Thanks for watching!
The Turkish conquest of Constantinople is regarded as the symbolic end of the Middle Ages and the prime indicator for the age of gunpowder warfare, ending and starting eras should be the norm of a visionary like Mehmed the Conqueror
As a Greek i kind of respect him due to the fact that he still called the city as Constantinople(konstantiniyye)
It depends: for southeastern Europe 1453 makes sense as a ending point for the middle ages while in Western Europe around 1500 is a better year
@@Greek.history.enthusiastok, but even respect to the fact that all of Istanbul was not Constantinople, and that all the monuments and architecture visible in the city today don't have a connection to the Byzantine Empire, except for Hagia Sophia, which even the Turks have altered.
@@Xirsiev Roman Constantinople mostly corresponds to the Fatih district (Golden Horn area) of Istanbul, Fatih being the epithet of Mehmed II

Fantastic job on this video! Congrats to everyone involved!
Even pre-Ottoman times Turks always had the zeal of conquering Constantinople; Attila's Huns, a Seljuk-Pecheneg-Tzachas coalition plotted a siege of the city while Kutrigurs, Avars, & Bulgars led by Krum besieged it directly
Besides Seljuks, they weren't turks
@@HolyG.23really :o any sources for your fringe claim ?
Actually Krum died of a cerebral Hemorrhage before he could begin his siege but it’s true he was preparing the largest force the Balkan Bolghars ever mustered to assault the city. Not that he had any chance to win compared to someone like Mehmed.
@@tylerellis9097 The Seljuk coalition would've had the greatest chance out of those attempts with two strong nomadic armies assisted by naval support from Tzachas yet Alexios Komnenos's extraordinary mastermind played em off against eachother not only preventing such siege and prolonging ERE longevity but also changing the Seljuk owned momentum in favor of his state
@@nenenindonu Indeed where Alexios repeatedly failed in battle he repeatedly succeeded in diplomacy. He Lost a devastating battle against the Pechenegs in 1087 at Drista which ironically saw the Pechenegs begin warring with the Cumans over spoils and allow Alexios afterwards to bribe the Cumans to his cause, joining with them to defeat the Pechenegs at Levounion in 1091.
You guys should make a series about the rise of Lithuania next. Cuz seeing a massive Lithuania in the map makes me and other people want to learn more about it.
One of the most thrilling historical novels set in the Byzantine Greek Empire during the last Siege of Constantinople, is “The Dark Angel” (original title Johannes Angelos), of prominent Finnish writer, Mika Waltari.
Truly epic.
There is no Byzantine Greek Empire. It's a modern bullshit term made up by some idiot German historian. It was the Eastern Roman Empire.
They use it as a distinction between the two as they two empires essentially split politically, military and religiously through their empire.
One was orthodox and spoke greek, one was Roman Catholic and spoke Latin. They also did not recognise one another as legitimate from 1054.
The term Byzantine comes from the local inhabitants and the original name of Constantinople was Byzantium and was build back in 700 BC by greek tribes from Megara.
All true mate.
@@Theodoros_KolokotronisTURKS tolerate greeks how bad idea on?
Doesn’t make sense buddy.
Fun fact the current name Istanbul is a nickname the Byzantine Greeks would use for their city Constantinople, the ottomans adopted the nickname from the Greeks and renamed it Istanbul after the Greek nickname.
The root of “Istanbul” is 'stinpolis' in Greek, and it means a form of the phrase “to the city”. The city - in reference - is the city within city walls.
No u r wrong it’s Turkish it comes from “islambul “ means state of muslims
No.İstan mean is Land in Central Asia Turkic languages.Bul is mean find in turkish language. Istan-bul it is a mean: Find to home Land.
Name of Istanbul was used in the later stages of the Ottoman Empire and was officially adopted in the Republic era. Ottomans called it Konstantinyye for most of their history.
The city is over 2700 years old, the Ottoman Empire only had it for 400 of those years.
700 BC - Byzantium
300 AD - Constantinople after king Constantine
1900 AD - Istanbul.
The name «εις στην πόλ» means “to the city” “the city”, there is writings of Greeks referring to the city as this colloquially as far back as 1100 AD.
This is 350 years prior to Mehmet or any Turk entering western Anatolia
@@Kleftis Ottoman Empire owned city İstanbul 465 years plus Turkiye has 102 years has a Istanbul.

Considering how outnumbered and vulnerably positioned they were, it's amazing they held out as long as they did during the siege. Brutal and astounding feats by both sides. This wasn't the one-sided battle I'd always been led to understand it was. Thank you for so much detailed information. I also never knew how much involvement Chios had in this chapter of history; a very long and close friend of the family is from Chios, and returned to live there after retiring.
I appreciate your efforts, I wish you had mentioned that the first mortar in history was invented by order of Sultan Fatih while the siege was still in progress. The Roman galleys in the Golden Horn were sunk with these cannons stationed behind the Galata Tower.
