Well, you just spelled out western eurocentrism in a nutshell. The byzantines were for the majority of the middle ages the most prosperous place in europe while the west was a backwater. The way you place the west on a pedestal has nothing to do with the reality of the time.

[@williambranch4283]

Conner loves Caesar and Hannibal.

[@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE]

@@williambranch4283 who doesn't

[@LightxHeaven]

It’s not that Rome was unable to control Germania, they never wanted to lol

[@marvelfannumber1]

Well, it's true that Eastern Rome isn't as important to the history of Western Europe, aside from Italy. But Eastern Rome is arguably just as important as the West when it comes to the history of the Balkans and Russia. So it's more of the case that you're looking too narrowly on Western Europe as the center of "progress" when Eastern Europe is no less important. It's fine to find certain areas of history boring though. I for example find Indian history kind of boring, don't really have a good reason, just can't get into it. Nothing to be ashamed about despite what some people in the comment will say.

El Primer Zar de Rusia tomo el título del Cesar de Bizancio, al casarse con su hija. No recuerdo el nombre.

[@LightxHeaven]

Connor doesn’t recognize the Eastern Roman Empire as part of the Roman Empire.

@@LightxHeaven Bruh what 🤡🤡 like seriously?

[@Vella_Attika]

Thanks!

[@Jopp211]

The east had much better trade routes. They had access to the silk road and the spice trade. They also owned the bosphorus so had a chokehold over the black sea.

[@Andreas-ww5eg]

I don't get why you dislike Byzantine history. You get many smart and skilled military men that saved the empire from collapse like Heraclius, Alexios l or Basil ll. Plus, Byzantine politics and strategy are really interesting.

[@anacasanova7350]

El Imperio de Oriente duró hasta el año1450. No está mal. Su heredero el Zar de todas las Rusias.

[@canturan4396]

Flavius aetius captivity is an old turkic tradition, just like Vlad the dracula , they both captive for peace treaty but Turks give them education of War, diplomacy and army logistic lessons, weird tradition though

[@antonmaier5172]

Aetius is sometimes also called 'the last of the romans'.

[@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE]

The byzantines are surviving because the east is rich, like, really rich and the west is poor. Really poor.

[@anacasanova7350]

El Imperio romano del Oeste era pobre? 🤔🙄

[@MARKSTRINGFELLOW1]

The Picts were eastern Scotland I think

[@lyonelk3108]

No the eastern roman empire got its riches from the east. The east was more civilized then the west due to prior empires. Like the syrians, selucid anotolian and egyptian empires. As a result the east has tons of cities and rich land and a history of trade . While the west wasn't united at all say with ceasar coming in conquering gaul much later . So it would take time for the west to become rich The east Essentially bankrolled the empire. Since many western provinces were a net drain. Especially brittain which sucked the empire dry with its non stop rebellions while providing absolutely nothing in return

[@shakya00]

You can't generalize like that, it is equaly false to say the "West was poor".

[@tonywilkinson6895]

The battle against the Franks and Alan’s sounds like a Monte Python sketch.😀

[@raidang]

Dont stop part 2 next Watch about Majorian after part 2 it's like part 3 for this series

[@ac1455]

Though they originate from around the same area as the mongols, but most say they’re 2 different groups.

[@wnd0034]

Huns are turkic maybe %10 mongol

[@craigstevenson5152]

There's also a possibility that one of the main reasons Attila attacked the West was not the anachronistic reason given about Honoria, but that through gifts and diplomacy he was incited to attack by Gaiseric.

[@craigstevenson5152]

Never underestimate Gaiseric! One of the most overlooked figures of late antiquity, a man ruthless and cunning who seemed to know exactly what to do and when to capitalize on any situation.

[@prs_81]

Watch the Byzantine Cultural Commonwealth video from K&G to understand why the Byz mattered

[@craigstevenson5152]

Also, Gaiseric played everyone. Aetius thought he was in control, Gaiseric was always ahead of him.

[@superbutterfree4689]

The East had much better trade routes, a breadbasket, and a higher population so yes they were already making more money than the West.

[@andrewoccleshaw359]

Vespasian is my favourite Roman emporer, check him out.

[@ReaganKukundakwe]

Mine is Emperor Octavian

HORSE ARCHERS ARE OP

[@williambranch4283]

Why did the Germans and Saxons move West? The get away from the Huns! Aurelianum = Orleans, where Joan of Arc would fight 1000 years later. America has to fear the "maple syrup & beer" hordes to our North, and the "breakfast taco" hordes to our South ... aieee ;-) What is interesting? 75-99% of my ancestors were Western barbarians at this time, though some may be partially Romanized. So I find the West more interesting too. If I was the Visigoth king, nobody would leave alive! Justinian was a good manager, not a good leader. There are very few leaders and many managers.

[@onemoreminute0543]

Aetius.... the last of the Romans

[@wewenang5167]

The Huns are related to the Turk not the Mongols.

[@eveningelephant5824]

If you actually do research the Huns were multi ethnic tribal big group of people. Not only Turkic people.

[@henrik888]

Absolutely wrong. Huns (hungarians such as myself) are Mongol descendants. In contrary we were at war with Turkey for many years.. also the first minutes of the video shows from where the Huns came in picture
