10:19 where are Orthodox Christians on the map, Christianity split into Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) 7 centuries after the Edict of Milan - 1054AD
The 10:19 reference was focused more on Christianity's effect western society rather than on branches of Christianity, which is why you wont 'see Ethiopia, Russia, etc. I am attempting for this channel to more or less go in chronological order so the Great Schism of 1054 is certainly on the docket, but were still about 700 years away. :)
I’m struggling to understand your map of “Christianity's effect western society” South America and Australia toughener with South Africa are western? Greece is western? Greece is south east from Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Bulgaria - all Christian countries and after 1054 all Orthodox Christian countries as well as Greece is. Your map 10:19 is all wrong. Interesting fact Constantine was born in part of world you deleted from your map of Christianity. Think about that for the moment. Constantine born in Naissus as ruler of Roman empire comes with edict that makes Christianity basically state religion of whole empire and you just delete his motherland from map of Christianity?
I think I understand where the confusion is coming in here. The map is not a Christianity map, but rather a map of "Western Society". While that term can be a bit vague and have different definitions, it is generally seen as a term for the countries that have evolved from Greco-Roman and Western Christian (ultimately Roman Catholic) origins. It likely used to refer to geographically western areas but with the age of exploration it became much more cultural than geographical. I know that Wikipedia isn't quite a research source but here are the first 2 sentences of the wiki page for Western Culture - "Western culture, also known as Western civilization, European civilization, Occidental culture, or Western society, includes the diverse heritages of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, artifacts and technologies of the Western world. The core of Western civilization, broadly defined, is formed by the combined foundations of Greco-Roman civilization and Western Christianity." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_culture There are sources on the page.
While Constantine plays prominently in the video (including the thumbnail), the focus was much more on the edict and seeds that began Christianity's true prominence. This video was not intended as a biography, and Constantine's mention only really began once his role in the spread was reached. So if he were born somewhere else, I suppose I'd have mentioned it if it played more prominently into the spread. Thanks for the comments!
This is an incredibly high quality and educational video.
Wow! That is some high praise! Thank you so much for the comment. Very much appreciated :)
I am a simple man, I get good vibes I subscribes.
Thank you for the note! I hope I can continue providing good vibes!

Bravo.
Thank you! :)
And if Konstantin was born somewhere else, it would have been mentioned in this video.
