​@@Nicods Toso, te lo dico in italiano giusto perché così comprendi bene: quello che dici è storicamente e giuridicamente falso. In primis perché Carlo Magno provò a conquistare l'allora Ducato di Venezia, ma la sua flotta, guidata dal figlio Pipino, venne sconfitta dai Veneziani con l'aiuto dei Bizantini, quindi stare a dire che Venezia dipendeva totalmente da Bisanzio tra l'ottavo e il decimo secolo è mendacia. Dall'ottavo al decimo secolo infatti Venezia finì di essere un territorio amministrato dall'esarcato di Ravenna (ergo sotto amministrazione bizantina) e la Venezia marittima venne riformata in ducato di Venezia, ovvero non più un territorio ma uno stato cliente. Se non conosci la differenza te la spiego: un territorio è una parte facente parte dell'impero che deve ubbidienza all'imperatore, ma che è meno centralizzato e quindi deve minori uomini e risorse all'imperatore stesso rispetto ai Themi. Uno stato cliente è uno stato che agisce per conto proprio in temi di politica interna ed estera ma che tributa denaro in cambio di protezione. Di fatto, per rimarcare un'altra menzogna da te citata, i dogi non venivano eletti direttamente dall'imperatore a seconda della loro influenza: dopo la morte del secondo doge, Marcello Tegaliano, il doge venne continuamente eletto da un'assemblea popolare, e non direttamente scelto dall'imperatore. Comunque, ritornando sul punto della questione, dato che comunque uno stato cliente è uno stato separato da quello da cui dipende, è totalmente erroneo dire che una guerra tra uno stato cliente e quello da cui dipende sia una guerra civile, perché una guerra è civile se accade all'interno di un unico stato, non in due separati. Per citarti un esempio: la guerra tra Basilio II e Barda Foca fu una guerra civile perché Barda Foca era un generale bizantino che voleva detronizzare Basilio, mentre la guerra veneziano-bizantina del 1122-1226 non fu una guerra civile perché da un lato c'era Venezia, stato a sé, e dall'altro c'era l'Impero Bizantino, altro stato a sé. Sta di fatto quindi che Venezia era uno stato indipendente già dalla sua riforma a ducato, ma che era pur sempre cliente rispetto all'impero Bizantino. Lo stato di clientela però fu prima allentato da Basilio II e poi totalmente infranto da Alessio I quando questi divenne dipendente della flotta veneziana, di fatto considerando l'impero e Venezia pari diplomaticamente.

Doesn't matter about the terrority, the city it's self it's absolutely huge and is capable of being self-sufficent and is unassailable most of the time.

Long story short Money, by then the Crusaders are basically Rouge and Practically Mercenaries originally they wanted to just pay a debt to the Venitians but spiralled into the conquest of Constantinople.

In all fairness, how did this happen? If the crusaders sacked a Christian city to pay the Venetians (why they didn’t ask for an advance I’ll never know): that would be one thing. But to then go out of their way to Constantinople? Why did any of the crusaders agree to this? How was there no mass mutiny?

The summary of this film has a Grain of Truth in it,but. Most of the Crusaders withdrew from this "trip" They did not leave Venice, attack Zara, and take part in the attack on Constantinople.

The Fourth Crusade: Whoops! Wrong holy city

Sad fact is this same template of attacks would be repeated over the centuries, by various passing empires and kingdoms from the West. It started with Roman papist catholicism, but the same disdain for the east ended up prevailing with Protestant kings and rulers (not all though), followed by latter day atheists, occultists etc. The axis puppet state of "Croatia" during WWII, however, is a modern day copy of the crusader destroyers of 1204, because each were equally Roman papist.

I am Greek, and even I do not believe this BullShit that you are spouting. Byzantium was just a continuation of the old Roman Empire. It clung onto the old Roman ways and continued the Roman state until its last breath in 29th May, 1453 when the Mehmed the II conquered New Rome and defeated the last Roman Emperor, Constantine XI.

@@user-wf4lz6md9d You don't seem to be able to grasp that Roman identity was solely a political identity until the empire was geographically reduced to mostly Greek speaking areas at around the 7th century A.D. But after the loss of Syria and North Africa by the Muslims, the term "ROMAIOS" gradually took an ethno-linguistic sense referring ONLY to the GREEK SPEAKING Chalcedonian Christians (who now were the majority population of the empire), utterly becoming a SYNONYM of the terms "GREEK" (which was always being used as the Latin semantic equivalent of "Hellene") and "HELLENE" itself which gradually from the 10th century onwards also revived with it's original ethno-cultural connotation (since paganism was no longer a threat) and came to refer to the same peoples till this very day. In the "Etymologicum Genuinum" of the 9th Century Graikos=Hellene. In the "Souda" Lexicon written in the 10th century Graikos=Hellene and also Graikos=Romaios and in the "Zonaras" Lexicon of the 12th century Romaios=Graikos=Hellene.

10:15 As an enthusiast of crusader history I did not know Speros Vryonis before this video but it appears he is not an expert in history of the crusades and has bias towards Byzantium and Greece. This statement is simply untrue. Firstly because as far as the crusades to Holy Land countinued throught 12th and 13th centuries it did stop islamic world from advancing forward, second because there were many different theaters and times in which crusades were called. Crusades in Iberia and the Mediterrean succeded to repell islam from Western Europe, ultimetly with Grenada War (1492) and Lepanto (1571). Crusader efforts in the Balkans like Belgrade (1456) or Vienna (1683) also stopped muslim invasions even with many failures along the way and ultimetly led to decline od the Ottomans. Also each crusade should be recognized as it's own thing. Regarding crusader movement in general as a failure is simply false. Overall as far as it countinued and there was motivation for them the movement was succesful in the end. Better read Johnatan Riley-Smith, Thomas Madden, Bernard Hamilton or Thomas Asbridge - historians who really care about crusader history.

Catholics have barbarically stolen it all.

The main motive for the sack of Constantinople in 1204 was the desire to expand power. The Holy German Empire was involved in the events. The HRE considered itself as the Guardian power of Catholic Christianity. There was a logical tendency to expand this power over Byzantium and so become the main undisputed ruler over all Christianity in Europe. The Venetians were a rising navel and trade power. Byzantium was seen as a rival that had to be weakened and eliminated. By constant raids and attacks on Islands, ports and allied powers Venice became more and more dominant. Constantinople already had to made concessions to this new power. But still, Byzantium existed. And so, this was a great chance to push the great old rival once and for all out of the way. One of the concessions Byzantium had to make was to let traders from Italy live inside the walls of Constantinople with certain privileges. Since these new citizens became bigger in power and privileges and even dared to fight each other inside the Byzantine capital (Genuans vs Venetians), it was only a matter of time when the backlash came. And it came with the reign of Androikos I Kommenos. Directly after his coronation the quarters of the Latin population in Constantinople were attacked by angry mobs and thousands of the Latin population killed. This happened in 1182, 22 years before the brutal sack of Constantinople. This was an emotional fuel to the desire to sack Constantinople added to the strategic stimulus. What this documentary failed to include was that many new Crusaders from Venice filled up the ranks of those disappointed European knights who already had left the Cruzade. So, it was much easier for the Venetians to manipulate this cruzade in their favour.

Wow. I historical fact that I have been wanting to learn for a very, very long time. Such a disaster! Confusion, miscommunication, and personal ambition contributed to the demise of the eastern Roman Empire and the rise of Islam. All the while, the pope himself was greatly alarmed, and ashamed. I hope his excommunications are still in effect.

First of all, thank you so much for giving the crusader in the thumbnail and at the end of the video a germanic appearance. The vast majority of people and channels forget or don't know that the majority of crusaders had a Dolph Lundgren appearance. A FULL GERMANIC appearance. Flemish, Normans, Franks. The minority were the gallo-roman French and other whites that contained admixtures and therefore had more black hair and looked more mixed. But the dominant appearance of a Western European at that time was that of Dolph Lundgren. Extremely common. Now very rare. I say this because most people and channels tend to give the crusaders and the Western Europeans of those times an arab appearance which is very inaccurate
