@@youneskasdi Like, several reasons. 1. Russia claimed the title of "Thrid Rome" mostly for the religious reasons, not political, this is why they never took the name officialy, unlike HRE. 2. Vasiliy's son got married to the niece of last Byzantium Emperor, Constantin the 11th, thus making Rurik and Palaeologus dynaties to be raltives. 3. They simply wanted to poke Emperor, by saying something like "look, we are equals to you, you claim to inheret West, we claim to inheret East of Rome.

@westproductions100 3 года назад

I believe it's important to note that the fall of Constantinople also contributed to Spain and other European countries being more interested in alternate trade routes, because going through Constantinople was a major trading route and the Ottomans taking Constantinople shut down that trading route or restricted it a lot. This helped to convince Spain about 100-150 years later to go along with Columbus's suggestion of sailing west. I think it's important to also note based on this video that Columbus was also from Genoa. Given he grew up there I'm sure he was exposed to the negative reactions of Constantinople's fall and the economic impact that had on Genoa.

Of course it had a big impact. The otomans started levying huge taxes on the importation of goods coming over the silk road, and while portugal had started going south along the coast of Africa, it spurred the Spanish to find another way to the east indies. Not to mention that a bit later portugal and the otomans had a huge war for access to india.

The strategy of Ottomans, on the other hand, should be greatly appreciated: Instead of conquering the city (which was extremely well protected by high wall and seawater) directly, Ottomans had purposely occupied most of the original territories of the Empire first and the Empire thus became much weaker before the final war in 1453. Since the Empire had lost control of most trade routes in Argean Sea either, the 'Romans' eventually lacked any financial and material supports outside the city during the time of siege. The victory of Ottomans was then just a matter of time.

@Eric Rogers that's a bit too broad of a statement. I mean, the Western Roman Empire was the lesser half for basically the 4th and 5th centuries, and even after the 476 fall of Rome the "Byzantines" did not experience a drastic change. Sure, they slowly evolved into something different than the 2nd century romans, but even then, the roman empire wasn't culturally stable for it's entire existence either. Also, you need to remember that for it's entire existence as a massive empire, Rome was half Latin and half Greek, so it's hard to pinpoint what "Romanised" really even means.

The Ming Empire was at least somewhat aware of it since the 1500’s since they traded with the Spanish for all the Silver they mined from Peru and there other western American colonies. Though they wouldn’t trade anything back so they sort of stock piled the Silver causing massive inflation problems in the empire, one of many contributing factors to Ming’s collapse.

@peterii3512 3 года назад

Brandon Lyon I thought Ming’s problem was lack of silver not abundance of it. Spain changed stopped trading silver with the Ming causing inflation in Spain and deflation in Ming.

Actually the lack of reaction from many Catholic states could be attributed to the defeat of Crusade against the Ottomans just a decade prior to the fall of the City, in which Poland, Hungary, HRE took part. Catholic alliance of potentially interested major powers was soundly beaten and one of the strategic goals of the coalition was hampering of Ottoman expansion towards Byzantines. Once the Crusade of Varna failed, Constantinopole was pretty much lost, it just took 10 years to die.

@@Admiral45-10 Poland was, in fact, pretty popular among Russian nobility by the end of the Rurikid dynasty, and when the end finally happened, the hopes were high that Russia would have a Polish Czar, and would join the Commonwealth as the third constituent party. On one condition though - the new Russian Czar must adopt the Orthodox faith. But the Poles screwed the pooch on that one (along with engaging in other unpopular activities like Lisowczycy raids, and the Poles' general attitude towards what they called "Muscovy" as a territory to be conquered and colonized). So the anti-Polish boyar faction eventually prevailed, and that's how we got Messrs Minin and Pożarski, Susanin, and the Romanov dynasty. BTW, a certain minor German princess didn't make the same mistake some time later, became a Romanov empress, and look how well that turned out for Poland…

And this is why the video IS WRONG - there was other reaction in Europe but since nobody care about the European countires which didnt speak French, English or German nobody bothered to look up for what their thouht. Just a few quick example: -Kingdom of Hungary (where the king had the second biggest income only overshadowed by the King of French at the time) all of a sudden stopped the almost 50 year long civil war between the Pro-Habsburg and Pro-Jagello faction, strated to strenghten the border fortress system in the southern border and started a military campaign against the Ottomans (which culminated in the Battle of Krusevac in late 1454 and aimed to push the Ottomans out of Serbia and create a safe route of communication between Hungary and Albania) -Bohemia and Poland also supported Hungary in these Anti-Ottoman endeavors both financially and with raw manpower, so their acted too - just more indirectly. -Portugal de-facto started the whole "explore the unknown regions and hopefully get India with a boat" endeavor because of the Fall of Constantinople. But all of this is not fit into the western-europe centric historical revisionism, i know, i know. We are just useful idiots who didnt do anything until the Horde come for us and beg the West to save us in the region all the time - its not like we fight against the Horde to from the getgo or anything while the "enlightened" West have the luxury of ignoring everything happening in the world. Being the Bulwark of Christendom is really a undervalued and ungrateful thing... Hundreds of Millins died to protect Europe didnt even make it into the side note and counted as "everyone had more pressing issues" or "just didnt cared". The Ottoman issue WAS the main issue since the second half of the 14th century till early 18th century in the Kingdom of Hungary - just saying.

Right next to us, a 100-year-old house was destroyed and a Byzantine tomb was found under it. We live on a very large and rich history.

That’s a great topic, but your video has a couple inaccuracies 1) It wasn’t like the Italians or even Europe only knew about the situation after the city had already fallen. They were aware of the siege, but for the most part had faith in the famous walls that had defeated so many invaders. Since they were unaware of the Ottoman canons, they thought it was just another failed siege. And the Italians, include the Pope himself even sent a couple soldiers to help the Byzantines. 2) When the city eventually fell, it wasn’t ignored by Europe. At least by all of it. King Afonso V of Portugal gathered a large army and was ready to lead the crusade, but had to cancel his plans since no other major power joined and he was in the opposite part of the continent. So at least Portugal *did* react, it simply hadn’t the means to do anything alone. The Europeans were confident in the mythic Walls of Constantinople. The use of canons was something relatively new to them. They only full understood the danger of the Ottomans when Constantinople fell, and nothing could be done.
