  • Well well, here we are... A single person commented that he wanted me to make this, so I made it, you're welcome. I have no idea how many views this will get, I don't really care. Now that I've grown a small audience I would like to make content for you guys, it would suck subscribing to someone expecting something and not getting anything.
    Please comment if you have any ideas for future videos, I read all my comments. I think I might try to make some Total War videos in this same meme format.
    Also, I can't create community posts since I have a warning on this channel, so the only way I can communicate with you guys is through the UA-cam comments or maybe Twitter.
    If you find something in this video that is factually incorrect, I couldnt care less, enjoy the eye candy pleb.

      Actually the Roman Empire was desintegra9ting before the Sack of Constantinople. There is a reason why the latins didn't occupied some of the former roman territories. The reason is taht parts of Anatolia, Peloponnese, some osEpirus, Thesaly and some island were ruled by warlords.

      He made himself co-emperor by force, and he did not even move a muscle to reconquer the city. One general did, and Michael VIII received the news of this the next morning. He was dumbstruck. After that he blinded John IV Laskaris, the ACTUAL emperor, tossed him in a monastery and thus alienating the anatolian military aristocracy. Soon after, all of Anatolia was lost. Good job, Mike.

      Yeah, he was a terrible man. I don't think that it was all lost after his reign, however. Andronikos III Palaiologos was pretty decent. Chances are the Empire could've transformed into the Greek Nation state we know today, but with Constantinople as the capital. But then they just had to have another devestating civil war and the absolutely terrible reign of John V.

    • @ragael1024
      @ragael1024 2 роки тому +12

      @@lordofhostsappreciator3075 no, he wasn't the worst. In fact, even after everything he did, he was among the best the Palaiologoi had to offer. Right after the conquest of Constantinople, the empire was at its strongest. But due to his usurpation, he lost the anatolian aristocracy's loyalty. Also, his policy was to secure the west more, since the biggest threats at that time were the new second bulgarian empire and a newly formed serbian empire. Compared to these, what could a tiny Beylic at the border do, right? To top all of this, the komnenian pronoia system, whatever was left of it, was abandoned in favor of a western feudal one. Spoiler: it did not go well.

    Sadly, Michael VIII fell in disgrace and his policies in Anatolia were some of the main reasons it was lost.
    He also blinded the legitimate emperor who was ~12 year old, he also sold the Orthodox faith to avoid another crusade and to gain military assistence (it never came).

      They nearly did, problem was for all Michael’s great deeds for the empire, he severely crippled the nation economically by some bad decisions, namely his conflict with Charles of Anjou and his insistence of mending the schism some 200 years before it was trully necessary.
