The Byzantine Empire: A Complete Overview

[@MadeInHistory]

Thanks everyone for watching! This is our final episode on the Medieval World for this current project!

[@tsitsnikable]

Europeans have so much hatred for the Roman Empire and New Rome. The hatred comes from the fact, that New Rome as the capital of the Roman Empire, chose Orthodoxy and not Catholicism. The Europeans out of malice, even to this day, do not call it the Roman Empire but the Byzantine Empire. A name that has NEVER been used for 2000 years by anyone. The Byzantine Empire was coined as a name by an English Historian and was worshiped by the Catholic people. Do you know that the Catholic Church with the 4th Crusade, attacked New Rome, conquered it and plundered it (1204 b.c.)? The Capital of the Roman Empire was Orthodox. Did you know this? The Pope destroyed Rome because of the schism. Pope john 4/5/2001 Paul II apologized for this. New Rome, after the disaster, fell easily to Turkish Islam (1453 b.c.)! And New Rome is still enslaved to this day. Do you ever believe that the Capital of the Roman Empire would make a mistake in the schism? Why did he choose Orthodoxy? This is the scholar that all Europe even today hates the New Rome, and prefers to see it as a Turkish Istanbul. The Enemies of the Roman empire to the end were two. The Europe of the heretical Pope in the West and Islam in the East. That is why the flag of the Roman Empire has a double-headed eagle facing both the West and the East. This is the Truth, this is the reality

[@beenwashedup5754]

What was there economy at that time what were they doing to keep there Kingdom alive I'm trying to find out we can stretch out our empire beyond 250 years but there's no history on it how did they survive so long

[@tsitsnikable]

2023! And I wonder how the European peoples have left this city, Constantinople, which was for 1000 years the Capital of the Roman Empire, even under Islam? The pain of the Pope of Rome shows that Christians have NEVER forgotten New Rome, Constantinople, which was the Capital of the Roman Empire for 1000 years! His heart still beats in the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4XZoqV-m9OpeLcsi=W_Z-mTI2GIOKs5wK

traded by Italian merchants. 21:46 The Byzantines had a market for buying and selling slaves, often from Slavic communities. 22:16 Christian monks smuggled silkworms from Asia to the Byzantine Empire, ending China's monopoly on the silk trade. 22:28 The Byzantine Empire experienced the iconoclasm controversy, which involved the banning and reinstatement of the use of religious icons. 22:47 The Fotian Schism in the mid-800s caused a division between the East and West, but was eventually resolved with the fourth Council of Constantinople. 23:43 Emperor Michael III was viewed as incompetent,

Greek language has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning at least 3,400 years of written records. It is the Ancient Greek civilization kept alive with the Byzantine Empire in the Middle Ages, that shaped more than any other the European identity. Standing in these lands for millenniums, always fighting against the odds. Eternal glory to our formidable ancestors 🔥🇬🇷

The longest lasting state in the world, the last refuge of the old Greco-Roman world, seeing nations rise and fall....it's demise was a sad affair. The capital that was meant to be the first Christian capital of the civilized world...no, no.. Nothing of that should have happened. Tragedy, a real tragedy

I listened to the History of Byzantium podcast (highly recommend) a few years ago, and from what I gather, the Byzantines had 4 major things go against them: 1. Poor political leadership. The Byzantines definitely had a few legendary rulers, but they didn’t really seem to have as many as the old Roman Empire, from what I remember. All nations and empires suffer from poor leadership at some point, but to me, they had a lot of bad emperors and a ton of backstabbing. Rome did, too, but there were usually some really good emperors to emerge from the ashes like Vespasian that would right the ship and that happened many times in old Rome’s history. 2. Poor generalship. The Byzantine Empire definitely had some legendary generals, too, but not that many I remember in comparison to old Rome. I would listen to the podcast and be waiting for the Byzantines to deal a decisive defeat to the Caliphate, but it never really happened outside of repelling the many attempted sieges of Constantinople. They lost way too many key battles throughout their history that the old Roman Empire would usually win. Yarmouk in particular was an absolutely crushing defeat on a scale that old Rome never suffered until the very end. Cannae and Teutoburg Forest were really bad, but both happened against foes that didn’t have the population or political unity to turn them into significant territorial losses for the Empire. 3. Bad luck. Right after a costly and useless war with the Sassanids, Islam rises in Arabia. They attack both Byzantium and the Sassanids at a time when both were still extremely vulnerable and recovering from the war. The Byzantines lose Egypt and Syria, which were the biggest economic and cultural centers of the Empire outside of Constantinople. Egypt was especially crucial because that meant the primary bread basket of the Empire was now gone. Sassanids are completely destroyed, so Islam gains a permanent stronghold in Mesopotamia and is able to constantly attack Byzantine lands. 4. A disgraceful betrayal in 1204. One of, if not the worst event in all of European history, was the 4th Crusade in 1204. Troops who were supposed to be going to the Holy Land to fight the Muslims decided instead to loot and pillage the capital city of Eastern Christianity. A truly despicable action that put the final nail in the Byzantine coffin. After that event, it was no longer a matter of if, but when the Muslims would capture the city. What’s amazing is the fact that the city was able to survive another 250 years despite a dwindling population. The city that the Muslims finally captured in 1453 was a hollow shell of its former self.

@@ΔόκτωρΠαντόφλα ... actually... there was NO Byzantine Empire... that's a name invented by an 16th century German writer trying to differentiate the Western Roma Empire, Capital Rome, and the Eastern Roman Empire, Capital Constantinople. After the fall of Rome in 476 AD, the Eastern part tried to recover the Western Empire and They were about 70% successful for a couple of hundred years, but after the seventh Century the West was lost. Doimated by German Populations like the Franks, Visigods, Goths and Vandals. Latin was still being used in official documents in the Eastern Roman Empire but then, Greek, the language mostly spoke in the Eastern Roman Empire, started to be used also in Official Documents... The Institutions were the same, the Cities were the same, the Military was the same, Civilized "Roman way of life" was the same... even the population kept calling themselves "Romans" and their enemies kept calling them "Romans"... So, there was NO BYZANTINE EMPIRE and that was a name NEVER used to identify the Easter Roman Empire up to the 16th Century.

"The development of ancient Greek civilization was aided greatly by contacts with the more advanced societies of Asia Minor; later as Greek trade, society, and political power impinged more and more on Near Eastern civilizations, especially Persia, a protracted power struggle ensued, from the classical period of Greece through the entire history of the Byzantine GREEK Roman Empire (see BYZANTINES) until the final victory of the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Throughout the period of Asian dominance Greeks preserved their sense of a European identity and kept alive hopes of throwing off the Ottoman yoke."

I usally play as *The Western Roman Empire* and make an attempt to TRY and hold off *Attila & The Huns* slowly moving towards my provinces belonging to *The Western Roman Empire* and its amazing seeing how historically accurate *Total War: Atilla* is and it got *EVEN BETTER* when I just downloaded the mod called *1212AD* for *Total War: Atilla* and it basically gives you a whole new game that takes place in the *1200s* during the end of the 4th Crusade & The beginning of the 5th Crusade ... its a complete overhaul for many game mechanics and enitre cities & settlements, making large cities and settlements look a lot more medieval than they did in the vanilla *Total War: Atilla* in the *400AD's* of course the best part is the *Details Of The Armies & Soldiers in the armies...* the amount of *detail the mod developers added to this mod is absolutely insane, from the armies, towns, ports, landmarks and down to uniforms and armor of the individual soldiers on the battlefields* each *Nation/Empire* has their own type of units depending on where the army is recruiting from.... and each of these units have *incredibly accurate and well done uniforms and armor/weapons* if you are a *History Buff & Lover* like myself then you should play *Total War: Attila's 1212AD Medieval Kingdoms* mod/overhaul and its completely free but I believe the developers behind the *1212AD Medieval Kingdoms Mod* take donations if you are will to support to help with making new content and updating the *1212AD Mod* ... even if you do not play video games you should look up videos of *battle gameplay & full campaigns* especially *The Byzantine Empire* videos as you can retake *Constantinople* with the *Nicea* faction and reinstate *The Byzantine Empire* and eventually if you are lucky and good enough, the whole *Roman Empire* all over *Europe*

The Qur'an includes the Surat Ar-Rum, the sura dealing with "the Romans", sometimes translated as "The Byzantines," reflecting a term now used in the West. These Romans of the 7th century, referred to as Byzantines in modern Western scholarship, were the inhabitants of the surviving Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Since all ethnic groups within the Roman empire had been granted citizenship by 212 AD, these eastern peoples had come to label themselves Ρωμιοί or Ῥωμαῖοι Romaioi (Romans), using the word for Roman citizen in the eastern lingua franca of Koine Greek. This citizenship label became "Rûm" in Arabic. The Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire traced its origin as an institution to the foundation of Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire in 330 by Constantine the Great. The Byzantine Empire survived the 5th century, when the Western Roman Empire fell, more or less intact and its populace continually maintained that they were Romaioi (Romans), not Hellenes (Greeks), even as the empire's borders gradually became reduced to in the end only encompassing Greek-speaking lands. Nicol 1992, p. ix.

[@mikel3359]

Hellen and Romeos are the 2 ethnonyms of Greeks in history. Probably in the transition from Pagan to Christianity which lasts about 4 centuries, Romeos became more related to Christian Hellen (Christian Greek). And became an ethnonym for Greeks in Byzantine era, as Byzantine Empire = Empire of Romeon (Greeks).

[@alejandromadrid8075]

There is no "probably" because it is not an organic development. The term Byzantine is a product of propaganda from the enlightenment era, deliberately chosen to ofuscate history. If you do your homework you will discover that the term "West" is also a totally false name, meant to deflect attention away from Christendom. These are fake names, just like Latino, African-American, Caucasian, Latin America, anti-semite, racist, latinx, etc...fake fake fake. They all serve to deflect attention away from the Truth. What you call the West is just American culture, which was different and considered bizzare by Europeans, and it was and it is. What you call Latino are just Hispanics, and Blacks, and Hispanoamerica, these are historic names, the latter were imposed by the empire, Caucasian is the worst one, like from the caucassus mountains, not even remotely English or European. What you call antisemite is really anti-jews, because the rest of the semites in the world are not in it on their con-jobs, but they want you to look away. The word antisemite is itself a conjob. The state of the world today is so full of lies, that everything is fake, even scientific data is faked to satisfy American political objectives. The Romans lasted through history as China did in the east. It lasted as a Christian society for 1000 years. Let that sink in. Thats more than as a republic.

I wonder how much evidence we have that this actually happened? I know there are a few texts giving examples of these horrific tactics of rendering an entire army blind besides its one eyed General/Commander... I can't believe that someone went through an ENTIRE army ripping out the eyeballs of 10s of thousands of soldiers smh... so I'm sure this saying was completely unrealistic and embellished... seems like it was meant to be a type of symbolism and not taken literally...

Khosrow II married Maurice's daughter Mariam and named her Shirin. It's mentioned in the book "Experiences of Nations" by Ibn Miskawayh when he talked about the assassination of Khosrow's grandson Yazdegerd III, and also mentioned in the "World Chronicles" by Michael the Syrian without mentioning that Princess Mariam became Queen Shirin. It explains why Khosrow II attacked Byzantines to revenge the execution of his father in law Emperor Maurice, in addition of course to his desire to take Byzantium or at least major parts of it. Which he successfully did in the beginning. Yazdegerd III daughter later married Alhussein, the grandson of prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and her son is "Imam" Ali "Zainulabedin" Ibn Alhussein.

0:08 When Rome fell, at 476AD, the capital had already moved, to Constantinople just over a century earlier, and within a century later, was retaken again anyway. Rome was the PREVIOUS capital, and had a place of honour as being the founding city, however the new Christian capital, was a glittering wonder. The Roman Empire was always ONE undivided Empire. No one ever recognised a seperate western Roman Empire, and a seperate eastern Roman Empire. Perhaps, you could refer to western and eastern regions, just as you would refer to western and eastern, states of the USA, but this simply a description, relating to geographical location. For over a thousand years, the SINGLE, and united Roman Empire, was Christian, with its capital, in glittering Constantinople, was the jewel of Europe, and the wonder of the world. The Roman Empire, was the longest running SINGLE empire, in world history, with a consecutive succession of uninterrupted, rule via the Christian Monarchy, in “symphnia” with the Christian Church.

In reality, there was no “Byzantine” Empire. The first recorded use of that term was by the German/Bavarian historian Hieronymus Wolf in the 1550s, one hundred years after the fall of Constantinople. The “Byzantines” referred to themselves as Romans, as did their contemporaries in other lands (such as the Ottomans and Russians). One contemporary map I’ve seen had the reference Oströmisches Reich (East Roman Empire). I think a better and more accurate reference to this period would be the Roman Empire - Byzantine era.
