¡ Anatolia is gonna be Greek and Christian again ! ☦️🇬🇷🇨🇾
10:20 an absolute falsehood.
Balkan Christians did not want their children to be taken as Janissaries.
The abduction of Christian children was always violent...
Balkan Christians even cut off the little finger on the hand of their children, so that the Turks would not take those children...
It’s like saying the jews converted to christianity and that’s why they lost 1/2 of their population during WW2
How about you tell us the history of how the Albanians founded the Helenic republic ? You seem like to be one who is not biased ! this is a documentary by the "Greeks" themself ! ua-cam.com/video/M99ze151HvA/v-deo.html
The Battle of Manzikert paved way for Crusades and the Turkification of Anatolia which laid the seeds of the Ottoman empire which conquered Constantinople ending Rome and triggering the Age of Discovery which shaped much of the modern world,... A battle can only be this impactful
@@raylivengood8040The OP was talking about a turning point in history. Not the details.
İt was not only 1 battle manzikert has not changed a lot
Nice breakdown.
@@raylivengood8040 Speaking about the event that sparked the Crusades. That is the above reference. 1071. First Crusade ended in 1099.
It would be worse if the Turk press the advantage after the battle. The roman backstab politics that make the empire weak when those aristocrats betrayed their emperor at manzikert.
It is quite sad that Constantinople's name got unnecessarily changed, especially if we consider that the Ottomans officialy kept the name until just a century ago. "Istanbul" is not a bad name, but it has nothing to do against the supreme badassery of "Constantinople"
As a Muslim I agree
They changed it in 1930 after ottoman empire fell
If I remember correctly, Istanbul was the name locals had for the city and it replaced Constantinople even before Ottoman times. The republic just made it official.
Nah, Consantinople is way too long. Besides the Greeks should be reminded that they are never going to take Istanbul back.
We call It the Ottoman Empire but they called themselves the Sultanate of Rome.
The fact that he doesn't mention the literal genocide of thousands,almost a million of greeks that took place is greatly insulting .You are erasing a whole era of greek history and culture by just only mentioning the armenian genocide (and briefly as well ) . Disappointing
11:16 it literally mentions it here near the end, that’s how chronology works 😐
@@mueezadam8438 he accidentally said non muslims ,while the screen mentioned only the Armenian genocide.The biggest factor that lead to majority muslim population in asia minor is mentioned for 2 seconds. Incredible
Not everyone has to speak with one-sided philhellenist rethorics that rebrand your military failures a century ago so take your concerns elsewhere
The Greeks had their fair share of being genocidal to other nations. There are almost no other nations that neighbored the Greeks and did not suffer from their brutality. However, me saying that does not justify what you claim the Ottomans did to you. But as the famous proverb goes, don’t throw stones at others when your house is made of glass.
@@SeekerOfTruth5 so , because the greeks , according to you , where genocidal like the turks ( who committed so many atrocities I can't even count them ) ( and I'm talking only about the "rûm" turks of Anatolia ,not the countless other tribes ) he is justified for not mentioning the genocide of a million greeks?
Intermarriage between Turks and Greek, Armenian and Georgian natives of Anatolia was not unheard of, although the majority of these unions were between Turkish men and Christian women. The children of these unions, known as 'Mixovarvaroi', were raised as Turks and were of the Muslim faith (although there were some cases of Mixovarvaroi defecting to the Byzantines). It is likely that these unions played a role in the eventual diminishment of the Christian population in Anatolia and its transition from Greek/Christian to Turkish/Muslim.

No, you make it sound like when the Ottomans conquered Constantinople they renamed it Istanbul. But it was not renamed until 500 years later.
In fact, for the entire duration of the Ottoman empire, it's official name was Costantiniyye: essentially still Constantinople.
And, ironically, Istanbul is a Greek name. Eis tin poli means "in the city". It was only adopted officially after the Ottoman empire was dismantled.
Istanbul is not a Greek name. Its based on a misspelling of Greek of an informal term used to refer to the direction of the city.
@@MrAlepedroza Yes, that makes it a Greek name. It is the contraction of a Greek phrase meaning "in the city" into a single word.
@@KAZVorpal Constantinople is really hard to pronounce for Turks and on the contrary İstanbul is much easier. I don't understand all the fuss about the name change. That was a naturally occuring practical solution.
Istanbul was a name the greek romans gave to the inner city of Constantinople and it is even mentioned in Ibn Batuta’s history when he visited the city under byzantine rule. Turks changed it after ww1 to remove any greek claim to Constantinople
@@BHTQ18 They used a Greek word to deny the very real claim that the Greeks had to Constantinople.
That is a consistent kind of stupidity.
10:06 MAJOR CORRECTION
children were forcibly taken against the will of their families for nothing in return and taught to forget their past in order to be used as soldiers against their people... The only way to keep your child safe and in your hands was by bгeaking one of their arms or legs
Love how they delete replies to this comment...
Nah, It happened during late ages. There were restrict rules of recruitment. There was special fund of buying children. Moreover all recruitment process were under control of janissaries. Funny part is, janissaries were who kidnapped and enslave children..... There were no turkish army at balkans. Turkish army (siphai) couldnt enter balkans but war times
@@taylannurlu7430 Children were not bought, they were only taken by the janissaries who were raised in the Turkish culture of taking innocent kids, disgusting

@@muzamilraza49 Because that's not true, Turkish lies know no limits
There was a very extensive slave trade of Christians in Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks in the eleventh and twelfth centuries which caused a significant decline in the numbers of Christians in Asia minor. After Edessa was captured and pillaged, 16,000 Christians were enslaved. Michael the Syrian reported that 16,000 Christians were enslaved and sold at Aleppo when the Turks, led by Nur ad-Din invaded Cilicia. Major raids in the Greek provinces of western Anatolia led to the enslavement of thousands of Greeks. 26,000 people from Armenia, Mesopotamia and Cappadocia were captured and taken to slave markets during Turkic raids in the year 1185. "Asia Minor continued to be a major source of slaves for the Islamic world through the 14th century" according to Speros Vryonis.[118]
After the Seljuks conquered parts of Asia Minor, they brought to the devastated lands Greek, Armenian and Syrian farmers after enslaving entire Byzantine and Armenian villages and towns.[119]

What happened to christians of turkey and middle east in general? Persecution, genocide forceful exislamisation and other atrocities.
People often fail to acknowledge the migration of Oriental Greeks/Ottoman Christians to the U.K. starting in the 1600s, culminating in the era of Greek, Assyrian, Armenian and Babylonian genocides within the Turkish state
This vid is trying to be polically correct about what really happened to the christians .same thing as other muslim countries .
Once he mentioned families actually wanting their kids sold as slave soldiers, I realised what kind of video this is
That’s not what politically correct means and the fact you use it that way belies your own political literacy. There were still churches in Cordoba when the moors were expelled from Spain, the same cannot be said of the mosques left in the hands of Castile and other parts of former Muslim conquered regions.
@@mueezadam8438 because they conquer everything and then force their culture on you ofcourse spain wouldnt let them do it

You're confused. Spain was Christian land - the Moors invaded European land and were thankfully expelled.
They were not Muslim regions - the Muslims were occupying European and Christian land.
People's awareness of Greek civilization and identity came away gravely damaged after the decline of the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman rule. “Hellene,” the appellation that defined the Greek people, had been abandoned: because Byzantium was part of the Roman Empire, the Greeks had taken to calling themselves Romans, Ῥωμαίοι. At the turn of the nineteenth century, as Ottoman rule waned and Greece regained a sense of its own identity, the language situation was, to put it mildly, paradoxical. The traditional written language had remained largely faithful to ancient Athenian-based Koine, yet it was so removed from the language then spoken that people no longer understood it. And there was no one cultural, political, or social identity strong enough to impose its language on the new Greek society. The only center to safeguard Greekness over the centuries had been the Church, which had done so by conserving ancient Koine. So, people looked to it to provide the revival of Hellenism with a common language.
When the Greek War of Independence came to an end, the one way to recover a common outlook was to take a step back in time- two thousand years back. In fact, in its infancy, modern Greece established its identity by returning to its roots in Pericles' Athens of fifth century BC. Therefore, the written language that originated from Hellenistic Koine, which itself originated from the lonic-Attic dialect, gave Greece a united language that corresponded to their reacquired sense of national unity.
Modern Greek pronunciation was achieved by keeping what was common to the majority of Hellenes and eliminating all local quirks. The vowel sounds of Koine remained intact, as did its written form. Modern Greek phonetics is the same as Hellenistic phonetics, though some consonants are pronounced differently. Although the grammatical forms that had disappeared thousands of years before, like aspect, dual number, the optative, and the dative, could not be resurrected, in many regards modern Greek remained ancient. The current language continues to draw a distinction between the present and aorist, retaining all of that distinction's semantic value, and still uses the accusative, nominative, genitive, and vocative cases (though the plural genitive is rarely used, and the nominative and vocative are often mixed up).
Modern Greek made two surprising innovations. It got rid of infinitive verbs-a feature it shares with the languages of the Balkans-and invented a future tense by paraphrasing the verb "to want": "I will judge" is expressed as a кpivo, "I want to judge"-and therefore "will judge."
Because there was no Greek civilization in the middle ages
@@hurriyetperver5272Byzantium was a greek civilization
The word "Hellene" became the word used by the followers of the Old Gods in the Roman Empire to identify themselves while those who are Christians identified themselves Romans.
@@hurriyetperver5272 read Braudel - makes a very cogent argument that there was
@@shingosshojiopoulos6608 There is no such state as Byzantium. That was Roman civilization.
You forgot to mention the Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian genocides that resulted in the deaths of over 1.5 million Christians. You also did not mention the forced relocation of 2 million Indigenous Greeks living in their ancestral home lands in Western Anatolia (modern day West Turkey), to mainland Greece.
Prove it
This is not one sided. Mu ancestors came from salonicie they relocated türks to
@@nomadiscipline the genocide denial runs deep with the Turks. Next thing you will deny the holocaust too? 🤣🤣 did you know that Hitler was inspired by the Greek and Armenian genocide he looked up to the Ottomans. Just goes to show how evil some people can be
This a historical video not a one-sided propaganda clip pushed for political reasons take your concerns elsewhere
What about genocides in Algeria Morocco Syria Iraq Yemen Spain Portugal sicily. Ottoman gave them religious rights and they revolted and gain independence because they were not forcefully converted Christians in serbia Bulgaria wallicia and other terrorists but what about sicily Spain and Portugal where there is old Islamic communities ¿
As an Assyrian they got murdered. Half of our population was killed starting in 1914 by the Ottoman Turks and their Kurdish allies. Almost completely emptying the entire regions of Mardin, Diyarbekir, Urfa, Hakkari of Assyrians. About 2000 individuals are left. Only one personof my family survived. Same goes for Armenians and Greeks. This ws also not the first time massacres happened. They also treated many 'non-believers' as second class citizens. Discriminating them through severe taxation, legal rights, oen example wa stje Blood Tax which menat they enslaved young Christian men for conversion to Islam and service in the military. This led many to conver as well.
The child tax was levied for nobles who couldn’t/wouldn’t pay the jizya in money. It was discriminatory yes but far more humane than expulsion or slaughter like what the house of Castile did to Muslims in Spain
@@mueezadam8438 At the time of the Assyrian Genocide Christian Countries secularized and became tolerant while the Islamic remained and still remains backwards and intolerant
@@ironzombie39 yes there were many Christian nations that were secular and tolerant, I have great respect for Poland and the other NON-imperial European countries for this. But the truth is, being a Christian or Muslim nation doesn’t prevent evil men from becoming leaders. At that point the British were killing Europeans and Africans for misbehaving in their South African holdings. This isn’t an attempt at whataboutism but evidence that what occurred that day to the villagers had nothing to do with Islam or Christianity and everything to do with the brutality of human nations at that time.
So we're gonna ignore the fact that Assyrians like the Armenians collaborated with the Russian Empire and commited acts of violence against the muslim civilians of Eastern Turkey ?
@@nenenindonu There was literally no violence lmao, it's Turkish Propaganda. You're just salty that Non-Muslims wanted total independence from a Muslim Empire
Christian Orthodox people belonged to the millet-i Rum, and progressively, Greek became the dominant means of communication amongst the members of the millet, who were called by others and were calling themselves. Romioi. Interestingly, the term 'Hellene' still signified for most people the pagan classical tradition, and it was a term that especially the clergy was keen to eliminate. Certain evocations of the term 'Hellene' by Byzantine scholars (e.g. in the twelfth century) contained some elements of contemporary ethnic identification, but it never acquired widespread currency, it never really "caught" on' (Beaton 2007: 93).
Haha Islam Peacffull.
Most Orthodox Greeks found the idea of a modern connection to ancient Hellenic culture to be distasteful, as it was perceived as a culture which encourages bizarre behavior.
Wished the video delved deeper on the expulsion of Christian Greeks and Armenia by the Turks from Anatolia.
There mustn't be a better example of a 'moving' ethno-linguistic group than the Turkic peoples.
They started out from Eastern Siberia (Mongolia, Altai) and now are main ethnic constituents of various countries, like Turkey, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, etc.
The culture and language moved from east to west but the DNA of the region stayed very similar.
Like a disease that spreads death
Yeah, but the peoples are almost the same, but for their cultures. Turks are champions indeed, love them

Western authors give additional details about mixed marriages and the children born into such unions. The Latin historians of the Crusades noted in Anatolia a specific group of the Turkopouli (that is, 'the children of the Turks') who were born of a Greek mother and a Turkish father. For the beginning of the fourteenth century, the Catalan soldier and chronicler Ramon Muntaner reports that the Turks of western Anatolia married girls from noble Greek families. It is especially interesting that the male children of these mixed marriages 'became Turks and were circumcised', while for female children the choice of religion was free. The same difference between the religious affiliation of boys and girls was reported by Ludolf von Suchen in the middle of the fourteenth century. Von Suchen maintains that when the Turks married Christian women, the boys of the mixed marriages followed the Muslim religion of their fathers while the girls maintained the Christian faith of their mothers. However, as we have seen in Byzantine canonical texts, boys also could be baptised by their mothers.
These reports confirm that, firstly, mixed marriages between Muslims and Greek women were common throughout the centuries, and, secondly, that the children of both Muslim and mixed marriages were baptised according to Orthodox Greek rites.
sounds very byzantine
Persians also did this aka safavids
Looks like you come from one of those Greek mothers.

Or how they skipped giving a more detailed account on how the Jannissaries were the result of the "blood tax", where they were forcefully taken and converted. Being one of the reasons why greeks sought independence.
Yes, these kind of videos (and school books) always whitewash the misdeeds of Islamic societies in history, because it is only popular to criticize Western societies.

Love how biased Christian fundamentalists rebrand failed military campaigns as geenoside
One correction: Janissary corps those were taken from christian communities were largely from Balkan peninsula not from Anatolia, Syria and eastern regions where also Armenian people lived together with Muslim community.
Balkan Peninsula (predominantly Serbian Children . It was called "Blood tribute").
Armenian Genocide in WWI caused the biggest expulsion of Christians in Anatolia.
Yeah Armenian Tashnak and Hunchak militants lost the war
8:25 Constantinople name wasn't changed until Attatürk took control of Turkey.
The Christian sources describe the naval attacks of the Turks as operations of pirates who aimed at pillaging property and taking captives to sell in slave-markets. Latins and Byzantines expressed much indignation at the spectacle of emirs who were proud only because they were able to lead their ferocious soldiers in predatory raids. The earliest source narrating the wars carried out by the Turks in the Byzantine frontier zones during the collapse of the Seljuk state is the work of George Pachymeres; he describes the Turkish warriors as people earning their living by the knife. Nevertheless what the Christians used to call piracy or brigandage was for the Muslim Turks a Holy War a praiseworthy and legitimate occupation leading directly to Paradise. In 1354 the Metropolitan of Thessalonica Gregory Palama sliving among the Turks as a prisoner realized with surprise that the Turks attributed their victories over the Byzantines to their love for God:
For these impious people hated by God and infamous boast of having got the better of the Romans by their love of God... they live by the bow, the sword, and debauchery finding pleasure in taking slaves, devoting themselves to murder pillage spoil... and not only do they commit these crimes but even - what an aberration - they believe that God approves of them. This is what think of them now that know more precisely about their way of life.
Islam suited nomadic peoples from the steppe and deserts very well. It justified and even encouraged their raiding and pillaging customs.
didn't know the turks are responsible for the genocide of the native americans to be called "living by the sword"

This is incredibly simplistic, I thought I’d learn something of the conversion of Anatolia but you really painted in broad strokes, its conversion was almost a millennia long process…

The predominance of Greek women at the Seljuk harem thus seems to have been merely a royal variation of a common practice in Muslim Anatolia. Greek women were valued as the most prestigious marriage partners among all strata of Muslim society. It was Greek women who guided their Muslim husbands and masters into the refined Byzantine way of life and the world of Byzantine luxury, introducing among other things new cuisines and ways of structuring the household. Although the information on Seljuk marriage policy in the eleventh to twelfth century is scarce, it seems highly probably that the Seljuk harem was modelled along similar lines as other strata of Muslim Anatolian society, with a preference of marriage to Greek women who in turn acted as mediators to the old world of the 'empire of the Romans'.

Correction about the Roman Empire adopting Christianity. Constantine didn’t make Christianity the official religion that was Theodosius. Constantine legalized Christianity. Constantine wasn’t Christian himself, he was a member of the sol invitus cult which shared many similarities with Christianity.
Point of correction Emperor Constantine became a Christian in his later life and he was baptized by an Arian Priest
@@8lindzy Here’s the thing. He could have done that for political reasons. Christianity had become the dominant religion and Constantine was looking for stability in an unstable era. It’s why he had his soldiers put the Christian symbol on their shields in the last battle to win the empire. It was a propaganda effort. Privately he may have not been religious at all. He did preach religious tolerance so we can say he wasn’t a fanatic. We can say this for a lot of leaders in history too.
@@sanguisbumb6138 but in your previous description, you clearly stated he wasn't a Christian or didn't become a Christian although perhaps he might probably be a non-practicing Christian like the early newly converted Christians Europeans were. Constantine certainly was a Christian according to historians and archaeologists
I want to state some wrongs in this.. The child tax Christians didnt like it thats why they married their kids at the age of 12-13 yo, or if they were wealthy the sent them in Europe to study, or they paid off Turks official to skip their turn, or if a Christian girl was impregnated by a muslim and he didnt marry her in most cases they killed her before she was able to give birth..there wasnt any official Sultan order to convert all Christians to Muslims but regionally there were Pashais that did that and the regime itself made them convert... And the fact they were free to practice their religion isnt exactly true for the same reasons.... The biggest failure of the Ottomans was that even if they didnt push the populations(as they claim) the head of the State didn't actually care about their populations(especially the non Muslims) and as long as they got their pennies they didnt give a pennie on what was happening....
What happened to the majority of people who were not Christians, when the Christians began to rule in Anatolia?
Mostly same things
@@E.A.00 Yes mostly same as Germany before Germans or France before Franks and etc...Then what is the point of this?
To answer ur question it was under the roman empire at the time and christianity wasnt forced, it became heavily chrisitan under pserexition until it was tolerated and accpeted by the roman empire so it wasnt forced or Christians conqueiring, unlike the muslims turks who invaded and forcefullu converted the Christian anatolians through different means jizya and dhimmis status or other ways, so the population was turkified and islamified just like what the arabs did to the Christian north africans and levantines, adopt the culture and religion of ur conquerer, so thats the difference christianity and islam came differently to anatolia and how they got ppl to convert

Ottoman Empire had hybrid societies. There are many elements of ritualls of paganism mixed into Christianity first and then to Islam. Like candle lighting for Christian saints and Muslim saints for wishes. 40 days rituals. So many others. Shamanism added rituals to those beliefs as well. People visited each others' religious temples.. Muslims went to drink from "ayazmas" ,the holly water fountains to get blessings. Most of the Ottoman population was either Christian converts or Christians. Variety of elements of Abrahamic religions, paganism and shamanism/Tengrism were intertwined together. Amazing cultural richness was everywhere.
The timeline of the Ottoman Empire is crazy af. The medieval realm that destroyed the roman empire ceased to exist when H*tler was already an adult 🤯

Many inaccurate things here. The Turks were initially extremely intolerable to other religions. In fact, the Seljuks applied a convert or die policy. Secondly, the Seljuks were certainly not the beginning of the end. After the loss of Anatolia, the Romans were still extremely capable. They repeatedly defeated the Turks over and over until most of Anatolia was recovered including the vast majority of the Christian population, and especially all the important Roman cities along Anatolia’s coast. Byzantium was still quite powerful and wealthy compared to everyone else in Europe and the Middle East. It was the 4th crusade that completely broke their power. The Turks were almost negligible in comparison. Even the Ottomans conquered much less Roman land than even the Serbs and Bulgars at the time.
west anatolia was under control of armeninans and they were ally with seljuck. There were no land connection with other muslims. How can it possible then?
the byzantines werent rlly that capabke. they had stupid leaders that preferred to fight other christians in civil wars than foreign muslims.
I like how the author silenced genocides turks did for centuries
Bcs it's mostly propaganda lol, if they genocide, all those balkans cultures won't exist
Genocide, greek speaks greek and armian speaks their own language, ottoman turks did not change religion or language,
Also if you are gonna make s genocide, you would do it when you are at strongest times,
Why did ottoman turks choose a time to make a genocide when all 7 christian countries attack ?
Did you atrack a man when you are ill or sick ?
What you said genocide is the failed attempt of Armenians by Russians to attack turks and the result is one of the biggest defeat of Armenians
Ibn Battuta often spoke of slaves that the Turks used as domestic servants or sex slaves during his travels through Anatolia during the 1300s. There was a large number of slaves at Laodicea, in the harems of the prominent citizens. Some of the slaves had arrived in the marketplaces in large quantities, and Batouta himself acquired a slave woman at Balıkesir, close to Pergamon. According to Ibn Battuta, the emir of Smyrna, Omour Beg, among the most famous of slave traders during this period (and often went into expeditions for slaves in the Aegean Sea) personally presented him with the gift of a slave woman. The slaves often sought to escape at any costs. Battuta describes how his slave fled from Magnesia together with another slave and how the two fugitives were later captured.[79][120][121]
In the year 1341, The Turkish bey Umur of Aydin terrorized the Christians in the Aegean sea with his 350 ships and 15,000 men from a captured port in Smyrna, capturing many slaves.[122]

There are two blue books called Bryce Report by James Bryce, which the British manipulated the world public opinion in a biased way during the first world war. The first of these is called "Committee on Alleged German Outrages". It contains stories of fabricated massacre torture and genocide by the Germans while they were in Belgium. Today this book is accepted to be a wartime fabrication of British propaganda.
The name of the second book is "The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire". The so-called Armenian genocide is mainly based on this biased wartime propaganda work.
Those who accept that the first book is a fabrication claim that the second book is real. They could not usurp Turkish lands with weapons. But they inflicted 100 years of hatred on the head of the New Turkish Republic.
Today, the Republic of Turkey continues to struggle with a fabricated propaganda piece written in 1916. While Turks want historians to solve this problems, western politicians want to chew like gum this problem in their mouths. Turkey has made all the archives of the Ottoman Empire publicly accessible since years, but Armenia is afraid to open its archives.

The London Conference of 1832 was an international conference convened to establish a stable government in Greece. Negotiations between the three Great Powers (Britain, France and Russia) resulted in the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece under a Bavarian Prince. The decisions were ratified in the Treaty of Constantinople later that year.
There wasn't any Greek political entity up to the 1800's when Britain, France, and Russia decided to establish an artifical ethno-state ruled by a German Dynasty to drain Ottoman influence, the previous two millennia of "Greece's history" were spent under continuous Roman-Turkish yoke
"The fact is that following that of the USA, the Greek Revolution was the first liberal and national movement to succeed in Europe and developed simultaneously with similar movements in South America, while it preceded the well-known large national unifications in Europe, of Italy and Germany. The Greeks did not invent the nation-state, but they were the first in Europe to implement it."
Roderick Beaton, "The Greeks: a global history", New York: Basic books 2021

"Roman, GREEK (if not used in its sense of 'pagan') and Christian became SYNONYMOUS terms, counter-posed to 'foreigner', 'barbarian', 'infidel'. The citizens of the Empire, now predominantly of GREEK ethnicity and language, were often called simply ό χριστώνυμος λαός 'the people who bear Christ's name'."
Harrison, Thomas (2002). Greeks and Barbarians. New York: Routledge., p. 268
"As heirs to the Greeks and Romans of old, the Byzantines thought of themselves as Rhomaioi, or Romans, though THEY KNEW FULL WELL that they were ETHNICALLY GREEKS."

The Holy Bible in the New Testament takes us through four major regions that witness the birth of Christianity: the Levant, Anatolia, the Balkans, and Italy.
Two of them were lost
If the loss of the Levant is a natural thing, because it is an eastern land inhabited by Semites, but Anatolia continued for 2000 years as a Greek European land.
In the context of the war between East and West
Between Iran and Greece
The Turks were able to resolve that war through the Turkification and Islamization of Anatolia

Those groups tried to ethnically cleanse the Muslim population from the 6 vilayets even though you unalived 500-800,000 Muslim civilians in the end you failed.
You got deported with the intent of being returned after the war (and the reason for the deportation order was the siege of Van which resulted in 40,000 displaced Muslims and 10,000 deaths in the city in 1915) we have the sources for the deportation orders (making mention of 900,000+ deportees), the 1922 US state department estimate (on which we can base that 90% of the overall civilian deported population survived or 817,873 people out of the 900,000~ or so deported people) which would've been higher had the allies not put a sea blockade on Lebanon and Syria causing famines there and indirectly causing more Armenian deaths) and numbers from the Russians on the over 250,000+ armed Armenians (25% of Ottoman Armenians and 50% of the male population) that fought with them such as the Russian Armenian volunteer unit (at 200,000 strong eighty percent of which were Ottoman Armenians), the Fedayi which had 50,000 members and the tens of thousands of Armenians that were part of the Dashnak, Hunchak, Armenakan and others.
As for the Greeks, Ottoman Anantolia had a max of 1,53M Greeks (exc. Syria and Lebanon and Palestine as the Orthodox Greeks there were Arab christian) in 1914 even if they grew by 15% in a period of 9 years (or would've) 1,5m of these Greeks were sent to Greece (on the Greek government's request) while 200,000 stayed in Turkey meaning less than 5% of Ottoman Greeks died..meanwhile 640,000 Turks died during the Greek occupation (Excluding thr activities of Pontic Greeks against the Muslim population) where's 800,000+ Muslim got displaced of the 4 Vilayets that the Greeks occupied this is 25%~ of the Muslim population either killed or displaced.

the question is why there are churchs in Turkey but not a SINGLE mosques in Greece ? and what happened to spanish muslims during the conquesta ?
What are you yapping about there are mosques in greece where there are muslim minorities, there are very few churches in greece. Greece upheld the lausane agreement and allowed religious groups in thrace to keep their religion and even have some Turkish language schools. Turkey did not and forced remaining greeks to leave thace and withheld language rights in Imbros and Tenedos. Turkish state is one based on ethnic homogeneity and soon they will genocide the kurds as well, they will take away their language(they have pretty much banned it already) and force them to become Turkish.

This is quite wrong: Byzantium did not integrate any Muslims and there were not more Jews in Byzantium than in the West (the core of historical Jewry was Hispania and to lesser extent nearby areas of Italy and Provence, Marseilles being at the origin of the Ashkenazi spread to Germany and beyond).
Muslims on the other hand were relatively tolerant of both Christians and Jews (and the Ottomans, among various others, welcomed the exiled Sephardites), while Islamization of Anatolia was mostly achieved by brutal genocide of Christians in the Ottoman-Republic transition at the end of WWI. The Armenian genocide is well known but the forced exile to Greece of millions of Anatolian Christians, arbitrarily considered by their religion to be ethnic Greeks (although many only spoke Turkish) was maybe even more decisive. It's quite ironic that secularist Kemalism was the main actor in this Islamization of Turkey.
On a lesser note, Constanipole and Antioch are not in Asia Minor, even if they are in the modern Republic of Turkey.
Thats why christians and jews where genocidet by ottomans and also from muhammads army😂

They forcefully islamized and turkified. And that's how modern day turks were formed. Turks especially in the western regions, have a lot of greek dna. It's for a reason that even their cuisines are similar

So, if I got it correctly, whereever islam spread, it was either death, or conversion. Coupled with the Janissary corps which was fueled to a great extent by Greek children and we get to today, where many (if not the majority) of turks, are actually islamicised greeks. This would also explain one of the greatest questions that I've always had, in that how today's turks look nothing like their ancestors in medieval byzantine, arab, or western european and other artwork, where you could clearly see the genetics of where the came from (they have slanted, east-asian eyes in these depictions). For sure there are also many "pure bred" turks living in anatolia, but frankly speaking, western turks are in my eyes, so similar to greeks that is staggering that they dont see it for themselves. also shows the efficiency of the turkish school system in maintaining this belief of "turkism" for these people despite the obvious mismatch of looks bwn modern and medieval turks :O

@@taylannurlu7430 "An estimate of the Pontian Greek death toll at all stages of the anti-Christian genocide is about 350,000; for all the Greeks of the Ottoman realm taken together, the toll surely exceeded half a million, and may approach the 900,000 killed that a team of us researchers found in the early postwar period. Most surviving Greeks were expelled to Greece as part of the tumultuous 'population exchanges' that set the seal on a heavily 'Turkified' state."

The Ottoman Empire wants to know your location
Another factor was mostly refugees from other parts of the empire fleeing into Anatolia. There were also Circassians fleeing genocide into anatolia.
It increased the proportions on muslims to christians in anatolia.

The people you mention as Pontic Greeks are Laz Georgian Armenians. Even today in Turkey, the people of the Eastern Black Sea region are called Laz.
@@turkcukayi What is that you're saying turkotroll? That there were no Greeks in Pontos?! 🤣 Even now there are small villages in that region where some old people still speak Pontic Greek. Look it up! Btw I expect your reliable sources which state that there were no Greeks in Pontos. You people...🤡🤣
@@turkcukayi And actually Adam Jones mentions them, who unlike you, is an expert on the subject. But then I guess you ignore what such terms as "source" and "quotation" even mean... 😂
@@vangelisskia214 People who speak Pontic Greek are genetically Laz. Greek genetic heritage is almost non-existent in Asia Minor.

If you were to believe Muslim commenter in the West they all saw how peaceful and wonderful Islam was and converted.... without lies Islam dies
It was murdered by the ottomans and a fraction was islamized by force.
Today's Asia Minor Turks carry at least 50% of the blood of Islamized and Turkified Eastern Romans. 50% Eastern Roman, 50% Ottoman inheritor. I think this is the perfect combination.

That's an oversimplification
Sultan Alp Arslan pledged: “I shall consume with the sword all those people who venerate the cross, and all the lands of the Christians shall be enslaved.”[118] Alp Arslan ordered the Turks:[119]
Henceforth all of you be like lion cubs and eagle young, racing through the countryside day and night, slaying the Christians and not sparing any mercy on the Roman nation
It was said that “the emirs spread like locusts, over the face of the land,”[120] invading every corner of Anatolia, sacking some of ancient Christianity's most important cities, including Ephesus, home of Saint John the Evangelist; Nicaea, where Christendom's creed was formulated in 325; and Antioch, the original see of Saint Peter, and enslaved many.[121][122][123] According to French historian J. Laurent, hundreds of thousands of the native Anatolian Christians were reported to have been massacred or enslaved during the invasions of Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks.[124][125]

You managed to make this whole episode without using one crucial word: Genocide. (Armenian, Greek)
11:16 it literally mentions it here near the end, that’s how chronology works 😐
And why do people always claim “Islam is a religion of peace a tolerance “ is it just pure ignorance or distortions of what islam is all about “submission and subjugation”
Hopefully greeks will find their reconquista soon and take back their lands
So is christianity
Do you think that every person follows religion? Read what the Christians did when they occupied Istanbul in Hagia Sophia. I looked at your other comments and you are very Islamophobic. Don't put the blackness in your heart into comments
@@Hasanbas-rv3vm Christianity is about Love and Forgiveness just read the teachings of Christ. He has never killed, waged war or incited violence against anyone

exactly what happened to Iberian muslims. the Spanish had more barbaric torture devices though
Iberia was chrtian land then muslims attacked them and chrtian took it back.
@@SidhantDhagare-gw3fj muslims tolerated christans both in iberia and anatolia unlike christans who created deranged devices
I think you are being guided by propaganda, the majority of Muslims converted to Christianity, like their ancestors, and a minority that did not want to convert was expelled. In Spain at least torture was hardly used, since they knew it was not useful, and if it was used it had many limitations so as not to endanger life. The Spanish inquisition used very few types of torture instruments, the majority that they are said to have used are fake, they were never used, it is more fiction than reality.
Bruh muslims shouldn't have invaded spain then
@@SidhantDhagare-gw3fjSo what it wes still brutally reconqueror
It is a insane statement that many parents want their kids to be taken by force and became turk's soldier. Imagine that....and when christian population at Balkan make riots their kids came (without knowledge about their iwn identity) to fight with them. It is a horor
