- Following the Fourth Crusade, the Byzantine Empire was partitioned between the Latin crusaders who had sacked Constantinople. A 57 year long struggle for control of Greece ensued between the Latin and Greek successor states.

A strong and well influenced leader could have saved the Byzantine Empire at this point at 1261.
Unfortunately he never came :(
@@Dourios_96 Actually Constantine XI was that man. He was a real "soldier king" extremely energetic even at such a hopeless situation when he became emperor of just a city. But he came 200 years too late :(
@@Ghost-vi8qm i guess the phrase "better late than never" has no meaning here :/ at least our last emperor was a competent leader and a good military commander but alas it was not enough am afraid :(
(Damn i want to play some Crusader Kings 2 right now)
@@Dourios_96 Well time to fix history by playing EU IV ⚔️✝️🙏🏻
@@Ghost-vi8qm i will drink to that cheers mate 🍻 :)
Sad that after this Andronikos II took power and utterly ruined the empire atleast his grandson brought a temporary revival but after that it’s nothing but decline and fall
Well, Andronikos the Second was REALLY shitty emperor. Corrupt and treacherous man, what destroy the army simply because "my court and friends need money, and we don't need good soldiers".
This fool rulling empire 40 years and... well... was bad as whole Angelous dynasty.
@@user-pb7ch5kl8x let’s just be happy he had a good grandson Andronikos III
@@Secondkomnenian Too bad that Andronikos was poisoned.

really is a shame Constatine XI wasn't born 200 years earlier. Although the byzantine empire fell under him by the time he became emperor the empire had already been doomed for the past 50 years due to the expansion of the ottoman empire. During his Rule over athens he won the very last byzantine victory/territorial expansion taking much of southern greece, unfortunately the ottoman civil war ended then causing constantinople to fall.
Had he been born in the 1250s and came to power when the byzantine empire reunified the ottomans would have never existed and much of greece/costal anatollia would have been reincorporated into the byzantine realm
The Eastern Roman Empire still had one last chance of surviving and reclaiming its glory by 1261, but the Palaiologos dynasty fucked up by civil wars in the 1300's
This could’ve been the comeback of the century if not for Andronikos the 2nd completely mismanaging everything and surrounding himself with intellectuals rather than helping the empire. And this guy ruled for 40 YEARS.
More so if Laskarid dynasty survived
@@lilestojkovicii6618 If only Theodore II didn't go mad, he was a competent Emperor and a Competent General.
This is clearly amazing !

Amazing video. Sadly, that it so underrated.
Vеry undеrrated video! Amazing job just onе thing Bulgaria was nеvеr a mongol yokе
Bulgarian empire mapping Yes it was. More accurately a mongol tributary state.
Yokе mеans morе dirеct rulе than a vassal as of Tеrter i know vеry wеll that hе was a tatar vassal, Smilеts еvеn was a protege chosеn by thе Tatars.
"During the Mongol invasion of Europe, Mongol tumens led by Batu Khan and Kadan invaded Serbia and then Bulgaria in the spring of 1242 after defeating the Hungarians at the battle of Mohi and ravaging the Hungarian regions of Croatia, Dalmatia and Bosnia.
Initially, the troops of Kadan moved south along the Adriatic Sea into Serbian territory. Then, turning east, it crossed the centre of the country-plundering as it went-and entered Bulgaria, where it was joined by the rest of the army under Batu. The campaigning in Bulgaria probably happened mainly in the north, where archaeology yields evidence of destruction from this period. The Mongols did, however, cross Bulgaria to attack the Empire of Constantionple to its south before withdrawing completely. Bulgaria was forced to pay tribute to the Mongols, and this continued into the 1260s."

@@Hallen01 in principle, Bulgaria defeated the Mongol Empire. Don't talk to me about principles !!! We have never been a part of this, and the fact that there were robberies does not make us an part of this empire, they invaded, ... it was their military tactic .. to leave you hungry for 1-2 years and then you are easy to win. . Not to mention that they poisoned the waters of the rivers and others...
We were not part of their country..
@@Hallen01 bro I love your videos but please tell me you didn't just unironically cite Wikipedia as a source 😭😭
john III is great king

John III(Greek:Ιωάννης ΙΙΙ Δούκας Βατάτζης) is one of the greatest emperors of eastern Roman Empire
@@dimitristr4307 no john the 2nd
The empire of Trebizond is missing in the video , even though it's one of the roman successor states .
That’s because they were not involved much in these wars
@@isaacangelos They tried their best but the Niceans and the Seljuks got them out of the race early
@@koomshiqta Ok? I don’t know why you said this. I didn’t say they weren’t involved. I said they weren’t involved much which is true.
@@isaacangelos yep, I'm just developing the topic a bit, nothing against your thesis, relax :D
After 1204 it is Greek successor States they call themselves Hellenes of the genos of the Romans. Today we would that GrecoRoman
Greeks gave it all to hold the empire together, from the time it split from the western Roman empire until it's fall to the Ottomans. They managed to exist and be dominant for 1000 years, but unfortunately the enemies came all around them and were too many. Ζήτω η Ελλάς 🇬🇷
The problem about reclaiming majority of Thrace and Greece and repopulating Constantinople, is it removes the shift to Western Anatolia where most soldiers came from. When the Turks began to ravage Western Anatolia and eventually recovers it, the manpower pool of the Empire began to drastically be reduced. Without the manpower pool, even competent Emperors like Andronikos III cant make long term gains.
Wow, how this channel can have only 536 subscribers? I like this style and video topics look interesting. Will be #537 then.
You should mention the name of the music in your description. Not only for copyright reasons, but also for viewers like me who want to know it.
You forgot to give Nicomedia to the Nicaeans but other than that, good job!
The Principality of Achaea was both a vassal of Venice and of the Latin Empire, although the vassalage to Venice was more about trade rights than a de facto vassalage
Wouldn't Michael VIII Palaiologos make more sense than John IV?
George Pitsounis well no,michael became emperor after the reconquest of Constantinople, untill then it only was steward of john iv lascares.
What's the name of the song?
Great!!!!!

If only Theodore's empire had won against Bulgaria, he might have restored the empire and taken Constantinople
he would likely have taken Constantinople, but he made mistake. He turned against his beneficiary Bulgaria. Bulgarian ruler was a good noble solemn man who helped Theodoros to come to power and helped him get Thessaloniki....they had peace treaty. But as always Byzantine/Greek bite the hand of his ally , he shifted north invading with huge army 3 or 4 times the size of Bulgarian army but Bulgaria won incredible victory at Klokotnitsa.
Very Interesting period. I wonder what justified having an imperial title? I know Epirus and Trebizond were despotates but Nicaea has a imperial title? why?
It was a combination of political prestige and legitimate claims to the throne of Constantinople based on actual political power and dynastic connections. Both Nikaea and Thessalonica had the political and military means to assert the claim to Constantinople and both states backed up those claims with attempts to take the throne. A state like Bulgaria wouldn't ever take imperial titles because they did not have the prestigious connections to Constantinople like the other states did. A state like Epirus wouldn't have claimed it because they didn't have the political/military influence.
which programs did you use for your Video, i like the animations a lot Looks great!
I think that it might bе camtasia studio 8 but i am not surе bеcousе thе program is 200$
The borders are accurate and the mapping is top quality. One small mistake tho. Bulgaria did not become a mongol vassal until 1285

But one little mistake, Seljuqs of Rum was a vassal of Ilkhanate not Golden Horde.
Actually the reason I showed that is because I assumed that for the few years between when the Golden Horde was established and when the Ilkhanate was established, Anatolia must have gone over to the nominal control of the Golden Horde, but now looking back on it a year later I'm sure if its accurate. First, because the Mongols might have had control over Anatolia through their other middle eastern territories, and second because the Golden Horde may have formed after 1256 (I don't know where I got 1053 from, it might have just been an estimate or I might have actually had as source). I'd have to look back over my notes to figure out why exactly I did it, but I definitely remember having a reason.
@@Hallen01 Sultanate of Rum tried to rebel against Ilkhanid overlords several times hoping help from Mamluks and Golden Horde which later turn out to be disaster. These are happened around 1270's. Maybe, you got confused with these informations they were vassals to Ilkhanate from the beginning. Anyway, it could be happened in any work it's good to find your channel.
@@dickdragon6336 Yeah I definitely didn't look at anything past 1261 so i'll keep looking. Thanks, though :-)

Didn’t the reign of Konstantin Tih begin in 1257? Before him it should be Michail II from 1246-1256z
Yes. I'm not sure how I made this mistake, thank you for pointing it out.
And then Justinian returned from the grave, fixed everything and the Roman Empire never fell again 🥲
?
byzantine empire was rodos 1204 the leo gabalas rodos and cyclades lord
Nicaea was the original Ottoman Sultanate.
It had original starting position
Too bad it was ruined by incompetent leaders
Bulgaria was never a vassal of the Mongols lol
It was but later in the period 1285-1299 and acted independently

@@Hallen01 That is indeed right , Batu and the tatars ravaged the Bulgarian country side multiple times. Especially in north-eastern Bulgaria. However paying tribute is far from vassalage.
Bulgaria was not dependent in any pollitical way by the Mongols and vassalage implies that. Bulgaria became a vassal in 1285 when the Tatars led a big campaign against Bulgaria and reached the capital Tarnovo. In order to negotiate with them for peace the current Bulgarian emperor Georgy Terter I became a tatar vassal. However this vassalage lasted only for about 13 years.
@@historyrhymes1701 It depends on what your definition of vassalage is. I'll list a state as a vassal if any kind of yearly tribute is being sent, as it generally implies that the vassal is dependent on the tribute to protect it from the more powerful state. If the more powerful state exerts a consistent enough pressure over a period to extract an annual tribute, I feel that its not unreasonable to imply a position of subservience on the part of the vassal.
Well I will give you an example.
Byzantium paid tributes annually to the Bulgarians or the Magyars multiple times like the ones from 681 to the 700s . That doesn't mean that Bizantium was dependant in any way by the Bulgarians , they just wanted to prevent more raids and future wars with them and wanted a peace. I beleave that the case was the same in 1242 when Kaliman Asen ( or his regency) wanted to negotiate peace with Batu and agreed to pay an annual tribute.
bulgaria was never under mongol empire
