Before the climax. You can see why it was in their own interest to control the trading routes and knock out, loot, sack Constantinopla and Byzantines as trade competitors. Venetian power increases after the fall of Constantinopla.

Called a crusade, and sent a bunch of venal thugs. One of history's greatest own goals.

They were actually children TAKEN from Christian families at a young enough age they often didn’t realize that they were being sent to fight and kill their own ppl. Also Rape was a written tactic commanded for Turkish military over the occupied Greeks and Serbs in an attempt to breed us out of existence. Men who fought back or took revenge for their women being raped were often castrated but always had their eyes gouged out and hands cut off. So that they not only couldn’t hold a weapon and fight again but they couldn’t feed themselves or even wipe their own ass… yeah “not as bad” …we just stayed united instead of fighting each other

The 4th Crusade was the beginning of the end of the ERE and it was amazing that despite of what happened to the ERE from the Justinian Plague in the 6th century up to the 4th Crusade,the ERE still managed to survive up to the 15th Century. This was a very strong empire and the 4th Crusade was more sad than the Ottoman takeover of 1453.

It was a very sad state of affairs. The Latin empire had no idea how to run the state. It became desperately fragmented and impoverished. They basically sold off anything that wasn’t nailed down to make money. By 1261 the Eastern Romans retook their capital. However by then it was a shadow of its former glory. From that point onwards it was a death spiral. What’s truly astounding is that it lasted til 1453. Especially with the emerging superpower of the Ottomans that had literally surrounded them.
