[@merrittanimation7721]

Or imagine the Blue/ Green rivalries of Constantinople working today.

[@camiblack1]

Seriously the only thing that had that much petty animosity was the Byzantine Blues vs Greens.

[@IONATVS]

The rivalry between the Veneti/Venetoi (Latin and Greek, respectively for the Blues) and the Prasiniani/Prasinoi (literally "Leek-Greens" from the specific green dye used) actually began waaaaaay back in Western Rome, even if their most famous episode was the Nika revolts in Constantinople. Rome's original political parties/political machines in the early republic were the Russati/Rousioi (Reds) and the Albati/Leukoi (Whites), the other two chariot racing stables, but over time, specifically during the late republic and early empire when there was an actual *gasp* ideologically-based political divide between the Populares (Populists) and Optimates (literally the "Best Men", also known as the Elitists or Conservatives) the Red and White stables' rivalry became overshadowed by the rivalry between the younger (but still founded in the early republic) Blue and Green stables, and ofc once the Empire had been going long enough that ideological political factions largely stopped mattering (the emperor either agreed with them or didn't) the super-popular Blues and Greens were ready to once again fill the void of Romans wanting a reason to hate each other on feast days.

[@SamAronow]

Merritt Animation Israel actually has that. Most sports teams were founded by political parties and are politically affiliated. That’s why so many of the tea,s all have the same names over and over.

It would be fun to have a video about Italy's tiny friend, San Marino. It has a surprisingly interesting history for such a tiny country. Nonetheless, I enjoy any history video posted and this is no exception! Can't go wrong with the hilarity of Pope Fights

[@SarahWolverine]

"But they had just now remembered that the other side of the alps exist" I WROTE MY LAST TERM PAPER ON KARL IV. ITALY POLITICS AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS SLANDER. The emperors of the HRE *knew* the Italian part of the empire existed and they wanted it. The Staufer Kings wanted it but failed. The Luxembourger Kings wanted it, but Henry VII. Methods weren't ... quite adapted to the reality of politics (just claiming the Regnum Italicum doesn't fly so well with cities that been independent for so long) and Karl already had said goodbye to the illusion of traditional Regnum Italicum, but wanted to establish a more secure Imperial hold on Italy in 1354/55 nonetheless. That failed however when riots errupted in Pisa and made using that city as a stronghold quite impossible, so Karl called it a day. (Sadly, I know nearly nothing about his second time coming to Italy in the 1360s. I focused on his Romzug of 1354/55.) The reason why it was also hard for the emperors to establish factual reign in Italy was because they had a wholeass Empire north of the alps to take care of. And unlike France or England, there was no stable center of power, no administrative center. That basically switched places with every new imperial house, so the emperors, especially in late medieval times, had enough trouble securing their position in the empire north of the alps, so Italy had to wait. However, when the Habsburger at some point snatched the crown for what was the beginning of the rest of the Empire, they had decades, centuries to solidate their power, to build an administrative system - so they had actual ressources to take care of Italy! (Which in this case meant eating up Milan and then also every other Northern city state and territory they could get their greedy little Austrian hands on.)

[@nikki607]

As someone who grew up and still lives in one of those contested corners of Italy you know more than I do and I thought I knew quite a bit😂

Plus, I love Italy (the South especially) and the entire fact that both Northern Italy and what is now Germany was so splintered and divided is fascinating to me. So I'm also always open to learn more about it!

Ahoj, I guess, from Bohemia. I'd like to remind you that the future Emperor Charles IV spend few years as the ruler of the Luxemburgish estates in the Northern Italy, and in 1350 after he was already a Czech and German King, he was badly injured there during a tournament. If I remember correctly, his jaw was broken into pieces by a jousting spear there....

[@SarahWolverine]

@@nikki607 Ah, a Tiroler_in! (Tyrolian? Tirolano/a?) I actually didn't make the connection that Tyrol used to be its own territory, its own duchy, at one point in time before I started to research. It was just always a part of Austria or Italy for me that had a specific name and I never questioned why. Looking back, I feel like a dumbass but that's fine, we learn through being challenged. And I was like you when I was about to graduate HS two years ago, full of HS history & political knowledge and a strong affection for history, especially local one. Viel Erfolg beim Matura!

The facade itself did not seem like a lot to look at, but the interior was an absolutely stunning piece of Gothic architecture, and I’m told the church was built atop a temple to Athena and Isis.

Can we get uhhhh, a background music list or something? The song at 2:00-ish pops up in a bunch of your videos and I'd love to get hold of it for personal listening.

JoCat beautifully completes the feeling of absolute chaos necessary for this episode. Good choice, Indigo and Blue.

Great stuff as per usual - plus, of course, Pope Clement VII being under Charles V's Hapsburg thumb after 1527 was the main underlying reason why he ultimately couldn't have given England's King Henry VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon - Charles' own Auntie no less! - even if he'd wanted to, leading to the Break With Rome and all the various other Tudor shenanigans that followed, yes...?!

4:11 I see you there, JoCrap, you lovable Wiggler, you. Also, the fact that you guys are aware of JoCat just makes me really happy.

* video starts * cue game of thrones theme song Also, I wonder if there's an off version that's not copyrighted because that would be hilarious for this

The moral of this story: it's not the system that's broken so much as it's the people therein who abuse it.

“Bonkers move of France inviting the Ottomans.” @ Sparta getting Persian ships in the Peloponnesian War.

Contrary to popular opinion, Cesare wasn't Rodrigo Borgia favourite son, that was Juan or John, he made him Captain of his personal guard and the city, Cesare commanded the armies because he had ambition, Rodrigo Borgia may wanted to conquer all Italy but wanted to do it using his Papal power, Cesare wanted to use the army.

I legit thought he was about to say “Case in point: The US Government.”

Blue, as an absolute history expert, and one of the best researcher (Red included in that of course) I am wondering if you could do a special on the history of the Sikhs or Sikhism? I have a few friends who follow this, including a couple neighbors, it would be nice to find out more about their history without insulting them.

Thank you for summarizing the fact that these guys used a spiritual position to just help their native lands and themselves get money and power.
