The Crusades - Pilgrimage or Holy War?: Crash Course World History #15
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- In which John Green teaches you about the Crusades embarked upon by European Christians in the 12th and 13th centuries. Our traditional perception of the Crusades as European Colonization thinly veiled in religion isn't quite right. John covers the First through the Fourth Crusades, telling you which were successful, which were well-intentioned yet ultimately destructive, and which were just plain crazy. Before you ask, no, he doesn't cover the Children's Crusade, in which children were provoked to gather for a Crusade, and then promptly sold into slavery by the organizers of said Crusade. While this story is charming, it turns out to be complete and utter hooey.

"We're gonna skip the second crusade because it bores me" Dude thats the one i have a project on!
rip
It must have been good
All you need to know was they kept raping each other and Islam got ahold of it
F
Yeah he kinda skipped quite a few parts, especially the specifics of how the crusades started.
knuckles: cracked
Constantinople: sacked
yup.

Imagine going on a crusade and ending up sacking the largest Christian city in Europe.
😂😂😂
Floppy Cat you certainly deserves one🏆
The Byzantines calling upon the Pope for help was HUGE because the two did NOT get along.
The Byzantines were desperate for help against warring Muslims. That's just history.
Yeah but Serbian Space Marine Chapters are more interesting
+Serbian Space Marines Thats like the French only helping the American Colonies during the revolution because at the time France didnt get along with England, and only wanted England to lose, not the US to win. The US being Byzantines and France being the Pope I guess.
well the pope at the time was excommunicated by the Holy Roman emperor lol
+willie willie And the Byzantine Emperor and Ecunumerical Patriarch (basically the Orthodox Pope) were excommunicated by the Pope as well. :D
+willie willie you mean the emperor (rather German king at this time) was excommunicated by the pope.
They couldn't just sack the largest city in Christendom, could they?

@Msg of Yitzhak Kaduri Jesus already beat Satan it's called the crucifixion and resurrection.
@Msg of Yitzhak Kaduri yeah they weren't. Also jesus is not equal to yahweh in authority
@Msg of Yitzhak Kaduri jesus is saint Michael the Archangel
@Msg of Yitzhak Kaduri thx bro . I suppose he is not st Michael right. But he is between Michael and yahweh in authority above Michael but under God the father
They built 500 ships but only 11,000 crusaders showed up because you know I've got other stuff to do etc...

This is why I keep saying it's impossible to truly judge people of the past by the morals of today (when I say this, I'm speaking of era's, not physical dates). The best thing to do is simply acknowledge that what happened, happened, and learn from it. Don't be afraid of it, and don't forget, because those that forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.
Indeed. We need to make sure that next crusade is successful.

Reality is often disappointing
-Purple Homer Simpson
haha, nice Thanos quote
@@thepengu1no227 Purple Homer Simpson quote*
When I think of motivations the crusaders had, I think of the peasants. If I were a peasant at the time, and somebody gave me the opportunity to go on a crusade, I would go without thinking twice. When you think about it, for those people it would be a choice of staying stuck on your farm working the same ol' field day after day, just as your family has for generations, or you can say "screw it all" and go off on a big adventure traveling across Europe with a bunch of other wistful people who want to get away from everything.
After his explanation of the Fourth Crusade, I ended up doing something of a mental facepalm.
+Eric Naylor I'm not sure how he can, after that summary, still speak up for the spiritual motivation of the crusaders and talk about their laudable zealotry and whatnot. By that point their goals were 100% pragmatic and earthly. They didn't give two shits about excommunication or penance or the holy land.
SockPuppet80 Either that or they'd managed to convince themselves that they'd already earned their way into Heaven simply by joining up. Though it could also be that the Byzantines of Constantinople practiced a different form of Christianity than the Crusaders.
But they didn't get excommunicated for sacking Constantinople, they got excommunicated before that, for sacking a Catholic town in modern day Croatia just for the loot (to pay the Venetians for the ride).
SockPuppet80 Yeah, but again, they might have figured that they' already earned a ticket to Heaven. Really, though, who knows?
+Eric Naylor The Fourth Crusade was literally the biggest disaster to ever befall Christendom. It sealed the fate of the Byzantine Empire, forever estranged the Eastern Orthodox Church from the Catholic Church, and handed one of the most important, populous, and wealthy Christian cities in the world directly over to muslims.
The Hagia Sophia is still covered in muslim graffiti even today.

Somehow people do just that but they conveniently ignore Muslim expansion that led to the crusade.
It's a disappointment really
***** My feeling exactly. These kinds of cowards don't realize that if our heroic ancestors didn't campaign against Islam the west would look like a middle eastern slum. They are at it again though...slowly poisoning western society.
I love Crash Course videos, but this one was especially good. It's so easy to blame war on religion, thank you for explaining the more complex motives underneath!
Eh religion was still used to justify them.
If you want to oversimplify things, then sure, you can say that.
Jacob Lively Just as democracy is.. or ideologi.. or sekularism.. whats your point
chalsfo *Secularism. Religion was used to to justify the crusades, also Secularism isn't used to justify wars.

Why did you quit smoking? These videos are probably going to kill you 10x faster than smoking ever would.
Finally a good history channel that covers the Crusades without taking the two extremes of blindly defending the Crusaders or blindly defending the Muslims; and who at least mentions the atrocities committed by the Crusaders against their Orthodox 'brothers', though you could have gone more into the earlier atrocities committed against the Orthodox in Jerusalem and Antioch after the first one.

Excuse me good sir, your history does not support my contemporary worldview. Please re evaluate your historical interpretation to better suit my opinions or I will call you biased. Thank you for your time.
SonaLilyAnimations i think thats the joke. Most people on videos like this either learn more and it fits what they already thought, or change their views if not (or realize history is complicated). Too many posters get mad that what they watch DOESNT match what they previously thought and comment that the video is wrong. Thats the joke the guy originally posted was making fun of
ohhh okay
that makes sense
It was a joke, but his take on the Crusades is awful
wat
Joseph Matthews Holy war was always a defensive war against agression of islam..or it was ment to be anyway. It is true tho, that it didn't always go as planned.
One of the best history books I've ever read: The Origin of the Idea of Crusade by Carl Erdmann. It's really an argument about the ideological rationalization of Christianity to the warlike principles of Germanic culture, resulting in the concept of knighthood. His key argument: the First Crusade wasn't addressed to kings or states, but to Christian Knighthood as an ideological body. Check it out if you get a chance!
John Green is such an amazing teacher whoever created this is the real MVP! You deserve an award award. Not just any award but a huge one.
Belle yay he should
And all of crash course
The moment you're so confused about the Crusades even after watching a crash course
crusaderes were holy order sent to re-take lost territories.
Finally someone that knows history!!! A European 15th Century Poem: "Our faith was strong in th' Orient, It ruled in all of Asia, In Moorish lands and Africa. But now for us these lands are gone 'Twould even grieve the hardest stone.... Four sisters of our Church you find, They're of the patriarchic kind: Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Antiochia. But they've been forfeited and sacked And soon the head will be attacked."
This is why the Crusades happened.
Jerry R Read a history book!
Ниязи Бекиров Yea I do, were do you think I found that 15th Century Poem? Smart one.
Ниязи Бекиров look guy, Jesus lived in the "holy land", there's a reason it's named that. There were a hell of a lot of Christians there before the muslims came in.
Hold on, women getting raped and people being killed in WAR? Oh man that's new to me! But the Crusaders had guided missiles and smart bombs as well as CNN on their backs. Oh wait they did not. Really dude, and the Arabs or Moors never ever done that?
You do know the Arabs & Moors were conquering many lands before the Crusades happen. That is what that means: "Our faith was strong in th' Orient, It ruled in all of Asia, In Moorish lands and Africa. But now for us these lands are gone 'Twould even grieve the hardest stone.... Four sisters of our Church you find, They're of the patriarchic kind: Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Antiochia. But they've been forfeited and sacked And soon the head will be attacked."
This a Poem in the Middle ages was describing what happen before & some what after the crusades.
Jeez that Saladin guy looks dope
He was a Kurd from Kurdistan:P
Has nothing to do with modern Kurds. LOL Take facts as they are, no need to add nationalism to it.
Hans Carabonala yeah but he lost every battle against Richard the Lionheart
God Emperor Trump lol this is the greatest turd I've read since hearing Trump is the greatest president

Thank you so much for all these hilarious/educational videos!
Tiny European armies beating back powers capable of raising 100,000 mens at arms easily is nothing short of a miracle.
Uhh they lost?
Luigi DeNardis tbh Turkish people started all of this crusades and such
"as long as they paid a tax" - I love how you quickly skim over the jizyah as though it was an entirely peaceful idea.
Compared to Christian's murdering e everyone who want them? It was!
Edit, sorry to destroy your worldview with facts, but don't worry you can always make up some alternate facts out of thin air.
@@jorenvanderark3567 Not really, in the roman catholic world yes, they were ready to completely obliterate any religion they deemed unfit or pagan, just like in the Islamic world. Zoroastrians were forced to flee Iran just because they were seen as dhimmi and the "peaceful jizya." Yeah, that ended in many getting taken as slaves and were only promised freedom if they converted to Islam. Now you might say that the Byzantine Empire did the same thing to Zoroastrians as well but this is because the Persians were constantly at war with the Byzantines and once this had halted an alliance was formed so to speak.
Now, the Byzantine Empire was quite accepting of religions and Judaism flourished pretty well until Justinian who tightened regulations and made life ultimately worse for jews which was wrong. So to say that Islam wouldn't be accepted by Christianity would be quite ignorant especially since Islam was accepted by Axum. And the only reason why bloodshed between the two groups happened was because of the Arab conquests which took down one of the strongest Christian empires, Kushite Egypt and resulted in the killing, convert, and raping of many Christians.
Richard the Lion heart and Saladin were superstars I wanted to watch re matched on the war
Roman Catholics in Constantinople had been massacred 20 years earlier.
Not saying that justifies anything, but relations between the Byzantines and the West had worsened significantly, from the sack of Thessalonica to the German emperors threatening to attack Constantinople, the sacking in 1204 didn't appear out of thin air.
i think beside me you are the only one who pointed out that :D
Maybe not, but it was expressly forbidden by the Pope, and the perpetrators were excommunicated.
Also the Islamic people committed lots of terrible violent acts
And the Arab’s slave trading of non-Muslims killed millions of people
I like how the icon for the "awesomeness" is the Millenium Falcon
This is my best Summary Guy. All Hats of!
-Simplification & demystification of historical stuff...to the power of Infinity (in mathematical terms)
So, Pope's crusaders on 4th crusader, destroy the christian Constantinopolis, kill a lot of Orthodox Christians and stole a lot of their treasures.
pope never ordered the sacking of constantinopolis
If pope really wanted, it would never happen.
Don't forget the stolen christian treasures and books from Orthodox churches, decorate today vatican and other catholic churches..
he excommunicated the people who stayed in the city plus the reason why the sack happened is because the Byzantines killed the king that the crusaders helped get into power and the Byzantines never payed there promise (by the way it was the Byzantines who told the Pope and the west for help and the Byzantines never did any hing for themselves). also why Orthodox even care what happened ages ago its not even relevant, also the eastern orthodox should not even get into the sacking and killed there people because today the Byzantine rite s in communion with rome
1)So, the roman catholic crusaders, killed so many orthodox priests and innocent people, ripped women and young girls, because of the money. But, you know, roman catholic crusaders, did terrible things on the Altar of Agia Sophia, with prostitutes insults and massacres. And pope did nothing because of the promised money..
2)Roman catholic church, became heretic, by Pope Sergius IV (1009 AD), when after the political pressures of the Franks changed itself the symbol of the Christian faith. From 1009 we have the Roman Catholic church, a new church which was cut from the original Orthodox church.
So, we wait our roman catholics brothers, to reject heretic teaching and come back to Orthodoxy.
Juan Santiago, stop arguing with this imbecile trol and listen this podcast ( /watch?v=PVcPQsVX8Kc ) about the 4th "crusade", there you will know exactly why this Οριζόντιος Κατακόρυφος is just plain stupid.
Scroll down into the comments, hoping to find intelligent conversation or comments
"nope, seems like no one cared about that end bit about empathy and perspective, and how the narrative of history one's told can shape how you view it. just gonna lose a little faith in humanity now."
At least it's not a WBC and New Atheist flame war
+MexBox Live oh lol. At the time in Europe, if you didn't follow the religion of the monarch, you were considered untrustworthy, disloyal and dangerous. Also, now matter how tolerant people are, unless it is a small country with a similar culture (like Albania) or have aggressive neighbors (like Switzerland), people will try to conform with the majority.
so true carl
Jesus, I just love when the uninformed and ignorant start guessing.
"Personally I think if the crusades didn't happen, we probably might of been religiously tolerant"
perhaps the dumbest comment i've read today
the crusaders were nothing compared to the Mongols.
For one thing, the Mongols were successful.

Love your lessons but I'm glad they are on You Tube as your super fast intelligent mind stays way ahead of this old man so all I do is watch them over again and finally get the gist of what you are trying to tell us. I am very interested to learn anything I can about The Knights Templar and your depictions seem to show them in their armour with the big red cross but you never once mentioned their name so maybe some time you could do a whole lesson on The Templar??

"Me from the past", wow he really was a militant atheist back then.
Hey there! Awesome videos. I'm not sure if you already do it, but could you give the bibliographical references? I'd love to read more about the subjects here, and know where they came from. Thanks!
I think this video did a great job of being unbiased and showing understanding to both sides of the crusades. It shows that the crusaders weren’t evil, they were provoked, and that Muslims aren’t evil, they provoked us but ultimately were defending themselves.
The 4th crusade sounds like the plot of a Monty Python movie.
Dude I gotta say, you are awesome. You are actually unbiased and aren't a dismissive atheist or a scripture spewing god-botherer. Maybe saying ''I don't know'' gives the universe the respect it deserves.
God bless you.

0:01 Welcome to Crash...
**Proceeds to crash into board**
I've been rewatching John Green's Crash Course World History, and I noticed some of the the early episodes (including this one) do not have lists of recommended reading on the subjects. He addressed this in Season 2, but I hope he revisits his old videos and just put his list of sources and books in the description box.
Who else is WHAP cramming before the test Thursday? D:
How did that go?
*"As usual, you're wrong"*
Didn't come here to be attacked like that
the common enemy remains the same
Excellent explanation, I'm studying the crusades and this was a very good general synopsis. Good to see anyone that reads a book can actually see that the crusades are completely contrary to the public opinion.
Admittedly, the Crusaders were a slow response to the Islamic Conquest, but they very much were a response. Each of the crusaders were relatively spread out and half-hearted attempts at regaining what was lost to the Arabs. But not only that, the Crusades were necessary to secure the borders of Europe that were constantly under siege by Islamic Jihad. You can't tell me that the Muslims weren't trying to add Europe to their Middle East conquests, or they wouldn't have conquered Constantinople and Spain.

"Tax" = Protection racket.
Its so amazing to actually understand what your talking about. Love this channel.
Excuse me, I'm extremely disappointed. There was no Mongols in this episode of Crash Course World History. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost 99% positive, that there was no Mongol joke. Other than that, this was an awesome episode of Crash Course World History. I would just like to thank you for doing this, because every time I watch one of your videos, I believe my brain expands slightly. Also, nice hair.
+Simon Stott The mongols actually did fight an army that was going on a crusade (i think they were georgians?), and they devastated it utterly. It's from one dan carlin's wrath of khan episodes.
But it still inspired the awesome film kingdom of heaven.
+Painting Guy 40k "I have given Jerusalem my whole life. First, I thought we were fighting for God. Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land. I was ashamed." the Director's Cut particularly is one of the most underrated pieces of cinema in the past 50 years
+thekillers1stfan Orlando Bloom plays the exact same character in "Pirates"
TIMEtoRIDE900
No he doesn't. Not at all really. Also the supporting cast is infinitely stronger than pirates. Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Eva Green, Ed Norton, etc.
He's a black smith and competent swordsman - self- taught, and he plays the serious, straight man. The focal point of the story-line in both.
TIMEtoRIDE900
there are huge differences in their characters though. He's not exactly the smartest guy in Pirates but he is extremely intelligent in KOH albeit uneducated on certain things. The motivations of the characters are completely different as well. one is fighting for his family and his future, the other to redeem his own sins. The moral questioning that drives the character of Balien is also completely absent from Pirates. Yes, at the surface they seem similar but the details that make them up make them completely different.
"As long as they pay a tax" You seem to go over that little detail of how much that tax could be.
Half of what they earned at times, and youre not allowed to leave your city - It is a protection racket of epic proportions. But oh well, "Just a Tax".
If you were being tortured, you were already dead.
Adding on to what @Marah Irshaid said, the jizya tax amounted to significantly less than the obligatory zakat tax on the muslims. Also, Islam's spirit of pluralism and tolerance for peaceful coexistence resulted in more places of worship of people of other religions than muslims' mosques.
@@mahnoorashraf9123
Sure, what muslims pay every year as zakat , sadaqat ( charity money) is waaaay much greater than what non muslims pay as a tax (jizya)
But you know some people just want to define islam as an oppresser authority while it is not , try to read much about islam then talk about it
@@mahnoorashraf9123 ohh come on man u the Fk believes in you? Christians and jews were treated like sh1t! Were there any church?? Even now a days Christians in Muslim country's are tortured and killed! You're blind man, you need to study more before making such affirmations...
Hey Mr. Green. Thank you for another video. I know that this video happened 6 years ago, but I'm hoping that you'll have time to respond to this. I was wondering where you get your information from? This is not a call out. But I think it's important to know in case viewers like myself want to do more reading. There's a lot you can't cover in just 15 minutes.
Man, my AP test is on Thursday, I only have 3 days to cram, and I have more tests this week.
... Challenge accepted.
That Iron Throne though
7 years later and we still haven't put a man on Mars.
Where are those drawings from? They're awesome!
I'm confused by the conclusion...the Crusades sounded sort of like the American campaigns of this century.
yep that about sums it up
Basically. My history teacher introduced the crusades as America declaring war on Iran after 9/11 even though they had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda
axie7 you mean Iraq not Iran
We'll technically they gave asylum to a criminal of the US.
you mentioned the tax but forgot the humiliating "laws of Omar" that were meant to to segregate "people of the book" and pretty much invented the concept of the Jewish star sash (later adopted by the nazis).
***** he did lead the arabs very well, this does not mean that he was kind to Jews and Christians. they could live by their rules but degrading restrictions were put on them.
Burhan TheSomali And the Tax non-Muslims paid were mostly for protection from foreign invaders. And didn't they get to rule their own land with their own set of laws?
Yasr Assisou your comment is misleading. the Jisya is protection but not just from foreign invaders. are you muslims because your names seem to indicate it. and if you are how could you not know of the Umar conditions?
they are supplementary to the Jisya which as you must know appears in the Kor'an itself. These conditions were added later by a Khalif named Umar (there were several) and restricted Ahl AlKitab much more (not being allowed to carry a weapon or ride a horse and many more...)
***** en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pact_of_Umar - the article is sourced, please read all of it.
Burhan TheSomali that is a little dishonest there was persecution of christians in the roman empire but the empire than became christian. also that is not the point, I was pointing out that that the persecution of Dhimmim was greater that portrayed in the video.
These videos are very well done!
When you realize that whole "We'll be greeted as liberators," line is *way* older than you thought. 😐
Thank you Crash Course. You have made history an absolute thrill and pleasure to learn about. You help a lot of people open their eyes to history in a lot of different points of view. Sincerely thanks. DFTBA
"The Muslims were perfectly fine with Christians and Jews, as long as they paid the Jizya"
Complete bullshit. The Jizya was simply a tax for being allowed to live, this does not equate to "they were perfectly fine with them." Christians in the Middle East are still forced to pay the Jizya, but they're also discriminated against and constantly have their rights trampled on.
Same as muslims now a days...so why dint we help them??
+Colton Reeves Historical evidences says different story, also jizya is a tax which was for protection purposes, as long as christians paid jizya they muslims took upon themselves to protect their lives, wealth, dignity and religion which they did, in shariah law if muslims could not protect those who pay jizya they had to give that jizya money back to those who gave it. Your words cannot change history and historical evidences and facts that you probably didnt learn or didnt want to learn.
+Huzayfah Choudhury Read sharia law...... now shut your fucken face. 😂😂👌👌😂😂
+Jar-head Tsteak "Read sharia law"
You don't actually know what sharia law is, do you?
+mudza92 Hmmmm, too bad all those Christians that ISIS crucified in Iraq didn't have the money to pay jizya. Oh wait...
Thank You CrashCourse!!!!! You help me a looooottt in my history test!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
