[@robtoe10]

+Kolynk Yeah, they were noticeably distinct from the Roman Empire of the 1st century, however if you'd have asked they somehow what their nationality was, they'd probably reply to you in Greek: "Roman"

[@julienweiss9363]

+robtoe10 To be exact, they are Roman of Greek culture. The Greek was already the official langage in East, so no reason to speak latin. But they were Romans indeed, they keep using the Roman Right, the traditions, and part of the culture, actually, the Byzantine litterature was very close to Roman one, which was heavily inspired by the Greeks. But to mark the transition between Romans and Byzantine (because between Caesar and Alexios Komnenos, holy shit there ARE differences ), maybe we should refer to them as "Rhomaioi "(Medieval Greek word for Roman) , rather than Romans , it would be more historically accurate.

[@marvelfannumber1]

+Kolynk When people say this they completely misunderstand the culture of the late Roman Empire. The idea of a modern greek state inhabited by Hellenes is a modern idea and was not around in the middle ages. People living in the empire very rarely identified themselves as a Hellene. It's also interesting to see that in the few documents that survive where the "Byzantines" talk about ancient Roman history it's always about "us" or "we" They had no distinction because there simply wasn't one, the Empire changed for sure, but to say they were Greeks is like saying Americans are British, it is a complete and utter falacy.

[@marvelfannumber1]

Kaiser Amadeus The terms Western Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire are historiographical terms. The empire never "broke in two", in fact there weren't even 2 empires. It was one empire with 2 courts. It was always the same Roman Empire until 1453 (although some could argue it ended in 1204). Modern historians use these terms to differentiate between the two courts, but nobody living at the time was under the illusion that there were two empires. The fact that even professional historians get this wrong frustrates me greatly.

Fun Fact: The Romans had a very powerful secret weapon called Greek fire. It was basically a flamethrower that was so potent that even submerging yourself under water couldn’t distinguish the burning. It proved extremely effective against enemy ships and invading armies attacking the Byzantine walls. This made the capital city of Constantinople impregnable. Unfortunately the recipe for this medieval napalm was so secret that it was eventually lost and the city finally fell and thus the reason why the Roman Empire likely doesn’t exist today.

[@mirzahamzabaig5667]

Well modern science has revived it.

[@saban3682]

That isn’t totally true since they actually used greek fire at the fall of constantinople

[@peterthesneakybastar]

@@saban3682 Very unlikely. The usage of Greek fire was recorded in almost every battle on both sides up until the 11-12th century when it suddenly disappeared. In fact, it wasn’t even used in the 4th crusade. There are only 2 sources that describe its usage in the fall of Constantinople, and they’re both Turkish meaning they wouldn’t have been qualified to validate true Greek fire in the first place, especially considering it hadn’t been used for hundreds of years. Thus, these sources are unreliable and too few to be historically accepted. The only logical explanations is that either some Ottomans confused Greek Fire with other incendiary weapons (which we know were used in the battle and were also commonly used all over medieval Europe), or that Ottoman historians recorded exaggerated propaganda to make the battle seem greater and more impossible than it actually was (which is also very common pretty much everywhere); hence why the consensus among historians is that it was definitely not used in 1453.

The fall of the Roman Empire looks dramatic on a sheet of paper figuratively speaking, but in reality what happened atleast on the western sides the empire split up rather peacefully into many of the countries we see today or saw after the Roman empire. There wasn't a massive war pushing the empire into a small city or anything. The people just founded smaller states, countries and claimed independence. Really interesting is that we should see the same thing with North America and the USA in the future, splitting up into smaller totally independent countries if history has any creedence. The same thing already sort of happened to the Soviet Union in our lifetimes if you were born prior to the fall of that empire.

[@robotube7361]

@King's Crossing. The fall of the Roman Empire , truthfully speaking WAS MORE DRAMATIC than people today seem to know. Western Europe, was always in the dark ages except from Italy which was isolated from Western Europe by the Alps and had nothing in common with Western Europe. Its funny how nowdays American Brits and Germans Belgians learn about the "Dark age " as if before that there was any light into the Western part of the Empire. The only thing developed in Western Europe was Italy and everything else is bunch of military roads and military garrisons which later sprung into the cities we know today because the Empire was in constant war with Western European barbarians since the times of Caesar. Governing a province in Western Europe was more like a punishment than a reward for a governor. There is nothing peaceful about the Vandals, Lombards , Visigoths. Goths, Huns , Franks, Celts , Anglo-Saxons and how they carved up the western part trough bloody wars of conquest. To think of it as a peaceful time is just idk- ignorant and as far from the truth than white is the same as black? Western Empire was actually a collection of garisons with no commercial value except the Italian peninsula and the French riviera. Not many tears were shed over it and I find it super funny how today descendants of these tribes mainly Americans and Brits see themselves as being enlightened while a part of the Roman territory when in fact their ancestors - the Anglo Saxons Normans Franks actually hated the guts of everything Roman right until the very end of the western part. The Roman provinces didnt proclaim independence but were actually conquered by the tribes of your ancestors and proclaimed their Empires while the majority of Western Roman population emigrated to the East where civilization stil ruled. The truth is not a single Eastern roman Emperor wanted to conquer the backward lands of Western Europe because there was nothing to be gain from it as ERE didnt even cosider the barbarians once romans except for the Italians which they liberated from the Lombard and Visigoth yolk Western europe was in a constant state of war for 1000 years actually while the East achieved peaceful prosperity by guarding its borders from barbarians. Western Europe without Italy was actually the outer poorest part of the Empire comparable to and African country. You should give a second look to your history book actually. And about USA: The first who will separate from the Federation is gonna be texas and California as the richest states who actually get 0.7 of the value of every earned dollar - the rest going into less developed states like Iowa. BAsically Texans and Californians pay more than other states in the Federation and that is gonna be the straw that will break the camel's back. If you read the constitution you will find that no state has right to proclaim independence so proclaiming independence will probably be met with force or embargoes and total exclusion from the rest of the States. Unless - they change the constitution.

For over half a century following the 4th Crusade's conquest of Constantinople in 1204 AD, there was no "Roman Empire" at all. It was just a handful of Greek city-states claiming the titles. If none of them had ever captured Constantinople, we'd date the end of the Empire to 1204, the first time an invader had entered the City of Constantine.

What do you mean "the Muslims never really made a lot of progress until the fourth crusade"? They had already conquered Egypt, Syria, Judea, North Africa, Sicily, and most of Anatolia by the fourth Crusade.

[@andrewrendon7789]

Along with the Muslim invasions and the Crusades, we also have to take into account the Byzantine Emperors. Because, quite frankly, many were fucking incompetent. It is rather unfortunate that at many crucial moments in the Empire's history, they occurred during the reign of incapable emperors. For example, if the Emperor in 1071 had been more skilled as a general, the Seljuk victory at Manzikert may have been avoided (and the subsequent loss of Anatolia).

[@v.p.anderson4952]

Andrew Rendon Although Romanos IV was not a very good general it should be noted that half of his army left right before the battle. However I do agree with you. Especially during the 1180s-1204 area because the emperors at that time were too distracted by politics to stand against the crusaders.

However, for most of that time, Japan was not really an empire. An empire generally entails having people with different cultures and languages coming under the rule of a central authority. At its peak, Rome ruled over dozens of tribes and kingdoms, and it incorporated elements of these different cultures into its own. By contrast, Japan has traditionally been a homogeneous land.

[@soyusmaximus7176]

Rome was great in many ways, but embracing autocracy led to more instability than it solved IMO. The central structure in Italy should've remained somewhat Democratic, so legitimacy wasn't given to every other general's coup d'etat. And a proper conquest of Germania, along with better linguistic and cultural unification efforts would've helped a lot.

[@garabic8688]

@Huate X Augustus saved the empire from collapse. The republic had saw many civil wars in the past century so it was obvious a new system was needed. This new system allowed them to make it until 1453 and it only really fell because several greedy idiots ruined the empire in the 4th crusade. If the Angelid dynasty was actually competent things might’ve been much different

_An astonishing story comes to us from Peter Charanis, an American historian who left the Greek island of Lemnos when he was very young. He describes how in 1912, when he was four years old, the Greek navy arrived to occupy the island and incorporate it into the new Kingdom of Greece. Soldiers were sent to the public squares to spread the news, and young Peter ran out with his friends to have a look at what these 'hellenes', these 'helines' as his parents called them, looked like._ _The soldier asked the children 'what are you looking at?' and one of them replied 'at Helines'_ _'Are you not Helines yourselves?' he retorted._ _'No,' said one of the children, 'we are Romans'_ - Robin Pierson, History of Byzantium podcast.

Wooden Table where there is truth in that almost all of the cards were stacked in the Ottomans favor and even then they struggled in taking Constantinople

[@mangaz20]

+Wooden Table Seljuks(a turkish khanete) conquered all anatolia exept Istanbul and the seljucks couldn't hold back against mogol invadings and they've divided lots of "beylik" (like karamanogullari,aydinogullari etc.) then osmanogullari (ottoman empire's name before becoming a empire) fought with that beyliks and byzantium at the 29 May 1453 II.Mehmed conquered Konstantinopolis after taking the city name it ''Kontantiniyye'' got it you fucking old headed crusade?

[@WoodenTableGaming]

Turks and their fantasys of history. It doesn't matter where the Osman beylik appeared from but it's largest advantage was the pretty much already dead Byzantines. As a state it was far more stable than the romans at the time and doing what turks did weakened them further by constantly raiding their territories. Byzantium died due to the fact that the latins were constantly seeking to take territory from them and the ottomans kept chipping away till they were nothing. Taking Constantinople was no great victory. The ottomans brought around 80 thousand soldiers and the byzantines by this point barely had a standing army. Also the reason why the Osman beylik was able to overcome the surrounding Beyliks is due to the byzantine territory they were able to eat up with ease. Keep in mind the Seljuks after Manzikert eventually lost the majority of their lands in anatolia only being within the platue of it due to the Komnenos Dynasty. If not for the Angeloi who destroy the empire through mis-management, the turks would've never overcame the Byzantines. The Sultanate of rum could've been fully eliminated if Manuel Komnenos didn't focus on europe and focused more on anatolia while the Sultanate of Rum was having major internal conflicts.

They did not lose much land in the 10th century, they had a treaty with the Bulgarians to restore status quo antebellum to 904 ad. He did not also put the eastern expansion into northern Mesopotamia and Armenia also conducted in the 10th century. They also reconquered half of the coastal Levant for a few years before settling in the Syrian coast.
