Sicuramente La Caduta di Costantinopoli è un episodio triste per gli Europei. Però di certo saprai che l'Impero Romano d'Oriente, dopo 1500 anni di esistenza, era già alla fine. Credo si possa considerare un giorno di "gloria" anche per i Romani perchè, con la morte eroica dell'Ultimo Imperatore, Costantino XI, l'Impero Romano esce dalla Storia nella maniera migliore.

Forcing people to pay a special tax and preventing them from obtaining high positions in the Ottoman society because they won't convert to Islam sounds like oppression to me. And what happened to the Armenians during WW1?
Hahahaaa, can you explain all of the genocides organized by the turks in the past century? Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) The Armenian Genocide is one of the most infamous and well-documented genocides of the 20th century. Between 1 and 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed by Ottoman authorities, with many deported to the Syrian desert under harsh conditions. It was characterized by mass killings, forced marches, and deportations. Assyrian Genocide (Sayfo) (1914-1920) The Assyrian genocide, also known as the "Sayfo" or "Year of the Sword," targeted Assyrian Christians in present-day southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and northwestern Iran. The Ottoman government and allied Kurdish groups killed an estimated 300,000 Assyrians, primarily through massacres, forced displacements, and death marches. Greek Genocide (1913-1922) During the Greek genocide, the Ottoman government targeted ethnic Greek populations, especially those in Anatolia and Pontus. Methods included forced deportations, massacres, and labor camps, and an estimated 450,000 to 750,000 Greeks died as a result. Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896) Named after Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the Hamidian Massacres primarily targeted Armenian Christians but also affected Assyrians and Greeks. Between 100,000 and 300,000 Armenians were killed, and many more were subjected to torture, forced conversion, and displacement. Massacres of Mount Lebanon (1860) The 1860 massacres targeted Christian Maronites in Mount Lebanon and Christians in Damascus, Syria. These massacres occurred amid sectarian tensions between Maronites and Druze, but the Ottomans were accused of either instigating or failing to prevent the violence. Around 10,000 Christians were killed, and many villages were destroyed. Batak Massacre (1876) In Bulgaria, during the April Uprising against Ottoman rule, Ottoman forces and allied irregulars retaliated by killing an estimated 15,000 Bulgarian Christians in what is now known as the Batak Massacre. This event led to a significant international outcry and contributed to the decline of Ottoman influence in Europe. Adana Massacre (1909) In the Adana Province of the Ottoman Empire, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Armenians were killed in a series of violent attacks instigated by political instability following the Young Turk Revolution. This event intensified Armenian calls for reforms and increased international attention on the Ottoman treatment of Christian populations. The Massacres of the Chaldean Christians During World War I, Chaldean Catholics (an Eastern Christian sect in present-day Iraq and Turkey) were also targeted. Many were forced to convert, executed, or died during forced marches and deportations. This was part of the broader policy of violence against Assyrian Christians. The Cilicia Massacres (1895-1896) Cilicia, in southern Anatolia, was also the site of Armenian massacres during the late 19th century. These events were part of the Hamidian Massacres but were particularly severe in Cilicia, where Christian communities were targeted due to regional ethnic and religious tensions. The Smyrna Catastrophe (1922) Following the Greco-Turkish War, Turkish forces entered Smyrna (now İzmir) and attacked the city's Greek and Armenian Christian populations. The violence included looting, killings, and the burning of large portions of the city, with tens of thousands of civilians either killed or displaced. The Expulsion and Population Exchanges (1923) Following the Treaty of Lausanne, there was a forced population exchange between Greece and Turkey, leading to the mass expulsion of Orthodox Christians from Turkey and Muslims from Greece. Though not a genocide per se, this "population exchange" caused severe suffering, loss of life, and the destruction of Christian communities that had existed in Anatolia for centuries. It doesn't take a dumbass to recognize the filthy satanic acts perpetrated by the turks on their christian subjects, you and your entire country are what we call, the scum of the earth.

@Nemanja97Babic These are slanders that cannot be proven.

Why didn't you mention the hawk cannon, the greatest technology of that time? The big cannon that Fatih Sultan Mehmet had cast to capture Istanbul is called "Şahi". The barrel of the gun is 91.8 cm. The range of the cannonball weighing 800 kilograms is 1200 meters.
Hi! We had to condenasate everything in a 15 minute long video, so we had to make some sacrifices 😅. It's certainly a very interesting fact, but there wasn't much strategic value to it: the cannon took several hours to reload, granting the defenders time to repair the walls after each shot.

Taking Constantinople after it was severly weakened and sacked , a siege lasting 3 weeks with 80.000 + Ottoman againts 7.000 Byzantine ( Eastern Roman )and Italian defenders just shows everyone that a wounded animal is really dangerous and fights for its last blood. I believe that if the defenders were more numerous , the once Mighty City would be saved . Respect for the Defenders , they almost saved the Holy City! .

When the Theodosian Walls was built in 5th century AD, the Roman Empire was still a superpower. When the Ottomans finally breached it in 1453, what’s left of the empire that once ruled 70 million people was a city of 50,000 inhabitants.

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.
This version of the conquest of Constantinople and most other story tellers of the same unfortunately miss the real genius of Sultan Mehmet. I dont blame them because the real story is a bit boring as there is not much action (blood and fighting) there. The real genius of Sultan Mehmet was his preparation for the siege as that is the real reason why the Europeans or the Russians could not come to the aid of Constinople.

An epic tale that took place during the siege of Constantinople: on the 15th of March 1453, five ships full of Cretan archers, under the leadership of Manousos Kallikratis (Μανούσος Καλλικράτης), left the port of Souda (Σούδα), province of Chania (Χανιά) in the island of Crete (Κρήτη), to assist their fellow Hellenes and their allies defending the legendary City of Constantinople. On their way to Constantinople, while sailing at the Sea of Marmara (Μαρμαρά), they got involved in a Naval Battle with numerous turkish ships, sinking many of them but also losing two out of total five ships. The remaining three arrived in Constantinople, where the archers were divided in two teams. The first team under Captain Pavlis (Καπετάν Παυλής) rushed to provide back up to the besieged gate of Saint Romanos (Πύλη του Αγίου Ρωμανού), where Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos was fighting. The second team defended at the three towers of Vasilios, Leon and Alexios (the names of the towers, πύργοι του Βασιλείου, Λέοντος και Αλεξίου). The Cretan archers in those towers (even though we are already in the era of cannons and the first gunpowder weapons, Cretan archers had been famous for their relative skill since antiquity), fought bravely and killed many Turks and their allies, that even after the Queen of Cities fell, they still kept fighting, killing their enemies by the thousands. Shortly after, the Ottoman Sultan himself, admiring the spirit of those men, granted the glorious Cretans the right to flee the City unharmed. The Cretans, knowing the City was already lost, accepted, and they were allowed to return to their ships in their full combat gear and in a victorious parade they marched to their ships, where they embarked for Crete. On their way back, one ship was damaged and was forced to harbour in Mount Athos - Hagio Oros (Άγιο Όρος), where one of the Monks recorded this legendary mission. Commander Manousos Kallikratis descended from the region of Sfakia (Σφακιά) in Crete, the only place along with Agrafa (Άγραφα), Souli (Σουλι) and Mani (Μάνη), that never fell under Ottoman rule. Eternal glory to our formidable ancestors 🔥🇬🇷
This legendary mission is not a fairytale, it’s a historical fact. Greeks have a very long history in these lands pal.. Bear in mind, what goes around, comes around.. ✌️

Actually, there is a lot of people who think that orks in Tolkein's world are Turks and the siege, fall of Mines Tirith is a resemblence of the fall of Constantinople. So, you did watch it in a way ...
The most important issue was the use of the 'gigantic cannon" built by a Hungarian which proved to be the greatest factor the the battle of Constantinople Why didn't the Byzantines have such weapons in greater numbers ?
Hi there! I made the video, so there is a lot of information we couldn't pack in 15 minutes, but here are some extra pieces that might answer the question: The Ottomans didn't achieve this number of artillery pieces because it was a standard thing for them, but they did it specifically for Constantinople, and Mehmed put his treasury to restelss work for years. Several foundries, such is the one in Adrianople, were built specifically to craft cannons for this siege. According to John Julius Norwich, the resulting artillery force "far surpassed the defenders' expectations". So basically they couldn't anticipate because never in the history of the Ottomans had this great of an artillery train been crafted. However, and this is just my opinion, I don't think the Byzantines would've won if they had as many bombards. Their main resource was the city walls, therefore being especially vulnerable to artillery, but the Ottoman advantage was in their numbers, not in their fortifications. Thank you for watching and commenting, and consider subscribing to my channel as well!
The use of the "gigantic cannon," or the **Basilica**, built by the Hungarian engineer Urban, was indeed a game-changer in the fall of Constantinople. This massive weapon was capable of breaching the city's ancient walls, which had been a formidable defense for centuries. As for why the Byzantines didn’t have such weapons in greater numbers, several factors contributed: 1. **Economic Decline**: By the time of the Ottoman siege in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a shadow of its former self. Centuries of invasions, internal strife, and loss of territory had severely drained their financial resources, making it difficult to invest in advanced military technology like cannons. 2. **Lack of Expertise**: The Byzantines lacked the expertise in artillery technology that had been rapidly advancing in Europe and the Islamic world. Urban originally offered his cannon-making services to the Byzantines, but they couldn't afford to pay him. The Ottomans, however, saw the potential and funded his work. 3. **Reluctance to Modernize**: The Byzantines were relying on traditional methods of defense, particularly the Theodosian Walls, which had successfully repelled attackers for over a millennium. There may have been a degree of complacency or a belief that these walls were still sufficient to protect the city. 4. **Geopolitical Isolation**: By 1453, Constantinople was largely isolated. It had little access to external allies or resources that could have supplied advanced weaponry or expertise. These factors combined left the Byzantines unprepared to counter the artillery power the Ottomans brought to the siege, which ultimately played a crucial role in the city's fall.

The Spanish emperor Charles I of Spain and V of the HRE dreamt not only to stop the Ottomans at Lepanto or Vienna but to reconquest Constantinople. Its a shame that the west or the Christhendom couldn't push back the Ottomans in a crusade and push back the turks further beyond the Dardanelos strait. Anyway the Christhendom started to break up thanks to Luther...so no more Christhendom anymore 😢 for now...
Because in Europe the state affairs were separated from the religion and they had much upper hand in scientific development. While Ottomans were still thinking where to go and invade, the European empires were conducting industrial revolution! Why to reconquer Constantinople? Who cares about this forgotten old city on the Lake? Center of the World had already shifted to the Atlantic from the 16th century. Invading lands had long ceased to be a method of securing revenue and prosperity

Thank you for not adding the (completely fabricated) story that one of the gates in the walls was open. This "open door" story is an insult not only to the Turks but also to the defenders.
The videos you post are very wonderful, but your discriminatory editing is very painful😢. When depicting a battle between white or Christian forces and others, you deliberately choose a scene in which the white side wins, or play sad music when the white side loses. In your previous video on the Sassanid Empire and the Islamic Empire, you ended with heroic music from the invaders' side, but this time you ended with sad music from the white people's side. You're clearly projecting yourself into the past. It is the privilege of future people to see the past as it is, and you should not worry about the past of your own group. I like the history of past battles with neighboring countries. However, that is because it is interesting, and I have never projected myself into it. The people who are fighting are different from us, and they fought for themselves, and they would not have imagined the future hundreds of years ahead. I hope you will be freed from illusions.
Hello! I'm the maker of this video, and therefore the editor and responsible for what you are complaining about. I can't answer for previous videos because I didn't make them, but I can for this specific battle. What can I say, you're 100% right. As a cinematic battle maker, I try to make people empathize with one side or the other, so there is a personal implication that makes the video more engaging. Usually, I tell the story from the point of the underdog or outnumbered, in this case the Byzantines. This is not the correct way to research history, but I don't see why this is a problem when we are just enjoying a cinematic intepretation of it. Besides, these are very subtile changes: I don´t deliberately take the winners sources, nor inflate their numbers, nor try to ridiculize the adversaries (which some other channels do). I try to choose the most objective sources and tell the story which I think is closest to what actually happened. But yes, in the artistic department sometimes I'm biased, and far from being ashamed of it, I think it makes the video better. But I don't look at history that way when researching, it's just for cinematic purposes. Thank your for watching and for your honesty, and I hope this doesn't ruin the experience for you.

Why do sad music play when the white side loses? Why do Mongolian archers get close enough to throw javelins, and Ottoman riflemen don't back down even when the enemy is approaching (I understood that this is so that white listeners think "I did it!"), etc.) As a viewer, I would be very happy if you could improve your entertainment from one of them as the main character to one that is both the main characters.

Sultan Mehmet forgave the last Roman Emperor. It was the Romans who killed him. His own community carried out the assassination. Please research the history carefully.
First time I ever heard this. Could you provide the sources? Most Greek sources say he was decapitated, and all Ottoman sources also say he was decapitated. At least three sources written by the defenders who were taken prisoners by the Ottomans say his head was cut off and either paraded, or humiliated in some way, by Sultan Mehmet himself. So this forgiving attitude of the Sultan seems fantasy to me
Costantino XI, vero Imperatore Romano, muore in battaglia. Il Generale genovese Giovanni Giustiniani Longo, amico personale dell'Imperatore, muore per le ferite riportate in battaglia. L' Ambasciatore veneziano Girolamo Minotto viene decapitato per ordine del Sultano e viene decapitato anche suo figlio. La moglie viene presa come schiava.
Yes, the current state of Constantinople's (now Istanbul's) **Theodosian Walls** is quite different from how they originally stood. When the Ottomans laid siege in 1453, the walls were formidable, consisting of multiple layers: a moat, an outer wall, and an inner wall, all designed to protect the city from invaders for over 1,000 years. However, much of the walls have been damaged over time due to: 1. **The Ottoman Siege**: The walls sustained significant damage during the 1453 siege, particularly from the heavy artillery, like the gigantic cannon, which weakened sections of the defenses. 2. **Neglect and Time**: After the conquest, the walls were not always maintained properly. Parts of the walls gradually crumbled due to neglect, earthquakes, and the effects of time. 3. **Urban Development**: Over the centuries, with the growth of modern Istanbul, parts of the walls were dismantled or modified to make room for new roads, buildings, and other infrastructure. Today, while many parts of the Theodosian Walls still stand, they are often in ruins or have been restored to varying degrees, but they no longer resemble their once-impenetrable form. Visitors can still see significant sections of the walls in Istanbul, though much of the grandeur and strength they once symbolized has faded.

Excellent cinematic video. Well done BellumCinimaticsTotalWar. Very well done. Cheers from Tennessee
The Ottoman Empire, that is, Türkiye, which did not oppress anyone during its dynasty and gave them the freedom to practice their religion! 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Forcing people to pay a special tax and preventing them from obtaining high positions in the Ottoman society because they won't convert to Islam sounds like oppression to me. And what happened to the Armenians during WW1?
Hahahaaa, can you explain all of the genocides organized by the turks in the past century?
Armenian Genocide (1915-1923)
The Armenian Genocide is one of the most infamous and well-documented genocides of the 20th century. Between 1 and 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed by Ottoman authorities, with many deported to the Syrian desert under harsh conditions. It was characterized by mass killings, forced marches, and deportations.
Assyrian Genocide (Sayfo) (1914-1920)
The Assyrian genocide, also known as the "Sayfo" or "Year of the Sword," targeted Assyrian Christians in present-day southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and northwestern Iran. The Ottoman government and allied Kurdish groups killed an estimated 300,000 Assyrians, primarily through massacres, forced displacements, and death marches.
Greek Genocide (1913-1922)
During the Greek genocide, the Ottoman government targeted ethnic Greek populations, especially those in Anatolia and Pontus. Methods included forced deportations, massacres, and labor camps, and an estimated 450,000 to 750,000 Greeks died as a result.
Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896)
Named after Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the Hamidian Massacres primarily targeted Armenian Christians but also affected Assyrians and Greeks. Between 100,000 and 300,000 Armenians were killed, and many more were subjected to torture, forced conversion, and displacement.
Massacres of Mount Lebanon (1860)
The 1860 massacres targeted Christian Maronites in Mount Lebanon and Christians in Damascus, Syria. These massacres occurred amid sectarian tensions between Maronites and Druze, but the Ottomans were accused of either instigating or failing to prevent the violence. Around 10,000 Christians were killed, and many villages were destroyed.
Batak Massacre (1876)
In Bulgaria, during the April Uprising against Ottoman rule, Ottoman forces and allied irregulars retaliated by killing an estimated 15,000 Bulgarian Christians in what is now known as the Batak Massacre. This event led to a significant international outcry and contributed to the decline of Ottoman influence in Europe.
Adana Massacre (1909)
In the Adana Province of the Ottoman Empire, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Armenians were killed in a series of violent attacks instigated by political instability following the Young Turk Revolution. This event intensified Armenian calls for reforms and increased international attention on the Ottoman treatment of Christian populations.
The Massacres of the Chaldean Christians
During World War I, Chaldean Catholics (an Eastern Christian sect in present-day Iraq and Turkey) were also targeted. Many were forced to convert, executed, or died during forced marches and deportations. This was part of the broader policy of violence against Assyrian Christians.
The Cilicia Massacres (1895-1896)
Cilicia, in southern Anatolia, was also the site of Armenian massacres during the late 19th century. These events were part of the Hamidian Massacres but were particularly severe in Cilicia, where Christian communities were targeted due to regional ethnic and religious tensions.
The Smyrna Catastrophe (1922)
Following the Greco-Turkish War, Turkish forces entered Smyrna (now İzmir) and attacked the city's Greek and Armenian Christian populations. The violence included looting, killings, and the burning of large portions of the city, with tens of thousands of civilians either killed or displaced.
The Expulsion and Population Exchanges (1923)
Following the Treaty of Lausanne, there was a forced population exchange between Greece and Turkey, leading to the mass expulsion of Orthodox Christians from Turkey and Muslims from Greece. Though not a genocide per se, this "population exchange" caused severe suffering, loss of life, and the destruction of Christian communities that had existed in Anatolia for centuries.
It doesn't take a dumbass to recognize the filthy satanic acts perpetrated by the turks on their christian subjects, you and your entire country are what we call, the scum of the earth.

@Nemanja97Babic These are slanders that cannot be proven. When Istanbul was conquered, we had a ruler who even said to the Christians gathered in Hagia Sophia: "Do not run away from me, we have just conquered this place, we have no problems with your religion or your life, continue living."

The big cannon that Fatih Sultan Mehmet had cast to capture Istanbul is called "Şahi". The barrel of the gun is 91.8 cm. The range of the cannonball weighing 800 kilograms is 1200 meters.
Hi! We had to condenasate everything in a 15 minute long video, so we had to make some sacrifices 😅. It's certainly a very interesting fact, but there wasn't much strategic value to it: the cannon took several hours to reload, granting the defenders time to repair the walls after each shot.

Taking Constantinople after it was severly weakened and sacked , a siege lasting 3 weeks with 80.000 + Ottoman againts 7.000 Byzantine ( Eastern Roman )and Italian defenders just shows everyone that a wounded animal is really dangerous and fights for its last blood. I believe that if the defenders were more numerous , the once Mighty City would be saved . Respect for the Defenders , they almost saved the Holy City! .
Also Constantine XI died like a chad. Going down fighting is somewhat of a movie trope, but in reality it's much more rare than people think.

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.
This version of the conquest of Constantinople and most other story tellers of the same unfortunately miss the real genius of Sultan Mehmet. I dont blame them because the real story is a bit boring as there is not much action (blood and fighting) there. The real genius of Sultan Mehmet was his preparation for the siege as that is the real reason why the Europeans or the Russians could not come to the aid of Constinople.
“The current Ottoman sultan is not like the previous ones. Even the dreams of your emperor cannot reach the places that our power reaches.” Fatih Sultan Mehmet...

An epic tale that took place during the siege of Constantinople: on the 15th of March 1453, five ships full of Cretan archers, under the leadership of Manousos Kallikratis (Μανούσος Καλλικράτης), left the port of Souda (Σούδα), province of Chania (Χανιά) in the island of Crete (Κρήτη), to assist their fellow Hellenes and their allies defending the legendary City of Constantinople.
On their way to Constantinople, while sailing at the Sea of Marmara (Μαρμαρά), they got involved in a Naval Battle with numerous turkish ships, sinking many of them but also losing two out of total five ships. The remaining three arrived in Constantinople, where the archers were divided in two teams. The first team under Captain Pavlis (Καπετάν Παυλής) rushed to provide back up to the besieged gate of Saint Romanos (Πύλη του Αγίου Ρωμανού), where Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos was fighting. The second team defended at the three towers of Vasilios, Leon and Alexios (the names of the towers, πύργοι του Βασιλείου, Λέοντος και Αλεξίου).
The Cretan archers in those towers (even though we are already in the era of cannons and the first gunpowder weapons, Cretan archers had been famous for their relative skill since antiquity), fought bravely and killed many Turks and their allies, that even after the Queen of Cities fell, they still kept fighting, killing their enemies by the thousands.
Shortly after, the Ottoman Sultan himself, admiring the spirit of those men, granted the glorious Cretans the right to flee the City unharmed. The Cretans, knowing the City was already lost, accepted, and they were allowed to return to their ships in their full combat gear and in a victorious parade they marched to their ships, where they embarked for Crete. On their way back, one ship was damaged and was forced to harbour in Mount Athos - Hagio Oros (Άγιο Όρος), where one of the Monks recorded this legendary mission. Commander Manousos Kallikratis descended from the region of Sfakia (Σφακιά) in Crete, the only place along with Agrafa (Άγραφα), Souli (Σουλι) and Mani (Μάνη), that never fell under Ottoman rule.
Eternal glory to our formidable ancestors

Actually, there is a lot of people who think that orks in Tolkein's world are Turks and the siege, fall of Mines Tirith is a resemblence of the fall of Constantinople. So, you did watch it in a way ...
The most important issue was the use of the 'gigantic cannon" built by a Hungarian which proved to be the greatest factor the the battle of Constantinople Why didn't the Byzantines have such weapons in greater numbers ?
Hi there! I made the video, so there is a lot of information we couldn't pack in 15 minutes, but here are some extra pieces that might answer the question:
The Ottomans didn't achieve this number of artillery pieces because it was a standard thing for them, but they did it specifically for Constantinople, and Mehmed put his treasury to restelss work for years. Several foundries, such is the one in Adrianople, were built specifically to craft cannons for this siege.
According to John Julius Norwich, the resulting artillery force "far surpassed the defenders' expectations". So basically they couldn't anticipate because never in the history of the Ottomans had this great of an artillery train been crafted.
However, and this is just my opinion, I don't think the Byzantines would've won if they had as many bombards. Their main resource was the city walls, therefore being especially vulnerable to artillery, but the Ottoman advantage was in their numbers, not in their fortifications.
Thank you for watching and commenting, and consider subscribing to my channel as well!
The use of the "gigantic cannon," or the **Basilica**, built by the Hungarian engineer Urban, was indeed a game-changer in the fall of Constantinople. This massive weapon was capable of breaching the city's ancient walls, which had been a formidable defense for centuries.
As for why the Byzantines didn’t have such weapons in greater numbers, several factors contributed:
1. **Economic Decline**: By the time of the Ottoman siege in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a shadow of its former self. Centuries of invasions, internal strife, and loss of territory had severely drained their financial resources, making it difficult to invest in advanced military technology like cannons.
2. **Lack of Expertise**: The Byzantines lacked the expertise in artillery technology that had been rapidly advancing in Europe and the Islamic world. Urban originally offered his cannon-making services to the Byzantines, but they couldn't afford to pay him. The Ottomans, however, saw the potential and funded his work.
3. **Reluctance to Modernize**: The Byzantines were relying on traditional methods of defense, particularly the Theodosian Walls, which had successfully repelled attackers for over a millennium. There may have been a degree of complacency or a belief that these walls were still sufficient to protect the city.
4. **Geopolitical Isolation**: By 1453, Constantinople was largely isolated. It had little access to external allies or resources that could have supplied advanced weaponry or expertise.
These factors combined left the Byzantines unprepared to counter the artillery power the Ottomans brought to the siege, which ultimately played a crucial role in the city's fall.

Because in Europe the state affairs were separated from the religion and they had much upper hand in scientific development. While Ottomans were still thinking where to go and invade, the European empires were conducting industrial revolution! Why to reconquer Constantinople? Who cares about this forgotten old city on the Lake? Center of the World had already shifted to the Atlantic from the 16th century.

What is the name of the site you are making the video on, my friend?
?
The videos you post are very wonderful, but your discriminatory editing is very painful😢. When depicting a battle between white or Christian forces and others, you deliberately choose a scene in which the white side wins, or play sad music when the white side loses. In your previous video on the Sassanid Empire and the Islamic Empire, you ended with heroic music from the invaders' side, but this time you ended with sad music from the white people's side. You're clearly projecting yourself into the past.
It is the privilege of future people to see the past as it is, and you should not worry about the past of your own group.
I like the history of past battles with neighboring countries. However, that is because it is interesting, and I have never projected myself into it. The people who are fighting are different from us, and they fought for themselves, and they would not have imagined the future hundreds of years ahead.
I hope you will be freed from illusions.
Hello! I'm the maker of this video, and therefore the editor and responsible for what you are complaining about. I can't answer for previous videos because I didn't make them, but I can for this specific battle.
What can I say, you're 100% right. As a cinematic battle maker, I try to make people empathize with one side or the other, so there is a personal implication that makes the video more engaging. Usually, I tell the story from the point of the underdog or outnumbered, in this case the Byzantines. This is not the correct way to research history, but I don't see why this is a problem when we are just enjoying a cinematic intepretation of it.
Besides, these are very subtile changes: I don´t deliberately take the winners sources, nor inflate their numbers, nor try to ridiculize the adversaries (which some other channels do). I try to choose the most objective sources and tell the story which I think is closest to what actually happened. But yes, in the artistic department sometimes I'm biased, and far from being ashamed of it, I think it makes the video better. But I don't look at history that way when researching, it's just for cinematic purposes.
Thank your for watching and for your honesty, and I hope this doesn't ruin the experience for you. If you enjoyed, please, take a look at some of my videos as well 🙏
@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar Thank you for your honest response. I see you have multiple editors. I understand why you can make such high-precision videos.

That's why I like your videos and watch them all, but at the same time, I can't concentrate on the entertainment because I'm bothered by the "noise". (Why do you focus on the Crusaders during defense instead of the Crusaders during invasion? Why do you focus on Greek victories instead of Persian victories? Why do sad music play when the white side loses? Why do Mongolian archers get close enough to throw javelins, and Ottoman riflemen don't back down even when the enemy is approaching (I understood that this is so that white listeners think "I did it!"), etc.)
As a viewer, I would be very happy if you could improve your entertainment from one of them as the main character to one that is both the main characters.

@@malgusvitiate7002 L'Impero Romano d'Occidente finisce nel 476 dopo Cristo. Però il termine Impero Bizantino viene usato per la prima volta soltanto nel 1557 dallo storico tedesco Hieronymus. Sarebbe interessante vedere sui documenti durante l'esistenza di questo Impero come definiva sè stesso e come l'Imperatore veniva definito.
Serbian defenders of the Christian Balkans were there when Constantinople fell. Which side is a detail.

Not a bad video, thank you for your efforts.. But if this video is aiming to be informative rather than entertaining, then it needs to be corrected.. Army numbers, Romans, The movement of the ships from the land ( needs a lot more attention ) , Greek Fire, Entrance of the Venedic ships by passing ottoman navy, Supermoon, Breaking of the Mary statue, etc etc etc... Many many more information that has been recorded by Roman historians and kept by Ottoman historians..
Thank you! Indeed, we could make a two hour documentary about it, but the video needed to be condensed in 15 minutes
Is this from total war series if it is what game and mod is it?
Attila Total War, with the Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD mod
You have described the lowly and exhausted Byzantium as if it had fought a heroic struggle. A history narrator should not be impartial. The walls were shattered before the Ottoman army made the final attack.
Sì, i difensori di Costantinopoli sono stati eroici. erano 7000 soldati contro 80.000 - 160.000 turchi.
Last Byzantian emperor - with 5000 men defending his own home against 80,000 invaders and fought to death! What a man!
Last ottoman sultan - surrendered Constantinople to the British and wrote a letter to British general to help him to run away in a British battleship to Italy. What an end! 😂
cause he was an old men while the last eastern roman was a younger man
Is this the new cope?
WoW! Still crying about the city i see.
And now Constantinople still belongs to the Turks. The Last Ottoman leader is still better than the Byzantine victim 😂
@@tha_MVPLAYA Republic of Turkey had actually fought off Constantinople from Ottomans dude! Ottoman Sultans asked British to help to protect from Turkish nationalists! Wake up, baby! Sultan and modern neo-Turks have nothing in common!
21 year old leading 80 thousand against literally unbreakable wall impressive
Hai tralasciato di dire che i difensori erano soltanto 7000 e i Turchi forse 80.000 o forse 160.000. Le mura non erano indistruttibili perchè con le nuove armi, soprattutto il nuovo modello di cannone fatto costruire apposta e progettato dall'ingegnere ungherese Urban, vengono seriamente danneggiate. Io mi meraviglio che Costantino XI e i suoi soldati siano riusciti a resistere per 2 mesi.
good video, enjoyed it. But i think ottoman janisaries have different wargears. They look rather arabic soldiers at the simulation

Vive l'Empire ottoman ! \m/
Great ottoman empire 🇹🇷💪
Sultan Mehmet forgave the last Roman Emperor. It was the Romans who killed him. His own community carried out the assassination. Please research the history carefully.
First time I ever heard this. Could you provide the sources? Most Greek sources say he was decapitated, and all Ottoman sources also say he was decapitated. At least three sources written by the defenders who were taken prisoners by the Ottomans say his head was cut off and either paraded, or humiliated in some way, by Sultan Mehmet himself. So this forgiving attitude of the Sultan seems fantasy to me
Costantino XI, vero Imperatore Romano, muore in battaglia. Il Generale genovese Giovanni Giustiniani Longo, amico personale dell'Imperatore, muore per le ferite riportate in battaglia. L' Ambasciatore veneziano Girolamo Minotto viene decapitato per ordine del Sultano e viene decapitato anche suo figlio. La moglie viene presa come schiava.
Biggest mistake of byzantine metal shield clothes so heavy and hard to maneuver while fighting turks always wears comfy while fighting
The emperor refused to flee and preferred death, unlike the Muslims whose rulers flee and leave their people to die.
Were the varangian in this battle?
The varangian Guard is much earlier
@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar sadly if there a varangian there the ottoman would stand no chance
Funny how the Emperor's body was never found...

The walls are completely different from how they were
Yes, the current state of Constantinople's (now Istanbul's) **Theodosian Walls** is quite different from how they originally stood. When the Ottomans laid siege in 1453, the walls were formidable, consisting of multiple layers: a moat, an outer wall, and an inner wall, all designed to protect the city from invaders for over 1,000 years.
However, much of the walls have been damaged over time due to:
1. **The Ottoman Siege**: The walls sustained significant damage during the 1453 siege, particularly from the heavy artillery, like the gigantic cannon, which weakened sections of the defenses.
2. **Neglect and Time**: After the conquest, the walls were not always maintained properly. Parts of the walls gradually crumbled due to neglect, earthquakes, and the effects of time.
3. **Urban Development**: Over the centuries, with the growth of modern Istanbul, parts of the walls were dismantled or modified to make room for new roads, buildings, and other infrastructure.
Today, while many parts of the Theodosian Walls still stand, they are often in ruins or have been restored to varying degrees, but they no longer resemble their once-impenetrable form. Visitors can still see significant sections of the walls in Istanbul, though much of the grandeur and strength they once symbolized has faded.
Ave roma . Ave Constantinopla 🏛🦅⚔🛡
1453 OTTOMAN !!!
Roma . Otomanos sempre terroristas islâmicos.
Islâmicos terroristas 🤣🤣
Byzantine fonces at least 10000. It is estimated between 10-15 thousand.
7 mil contra 80 mil? Impossível vencer.
Probabilmente 7000 contro 160.000.
End of an Era,.
