Well done. Well done indeed. Cheers from Tennessee

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Always looking for a reason,the Ottomans crushed the Roman empire,just accept the history,it seems it still hurts you

@@ketasinco Stating the FACT is not making excuses.

​@@Carlo-zk2cyyou know lad you will be better off not responding to these guys speaking as if they were there you offered rational and critical assesment

La città di Costantinopoli aveva forse 40.000 o 50.000 abitanti ma i soldati erano 7.000 e i turchi erano 80.000-160.000, 10 o 20 volte i Romani. Le navi Romane erano 24 mentre le navi turche 120. I turchi avevano anche 70 cannoni e qualcuno di un tipo totalmente nuovo, molto potente, fatto apposta per sbriciolare le mura.

@@ketasinco La caduta di Costantinopoli è stata un dolore per tutti gli Europei.

Abdool👳‍♂️

Hi there! I made the video, so there is a lot of information we couldn't pack in 15 minutes, but here are some extra pieces that might answer the question: The Ottomans didn't achieve this number of artillery pieces because it was a standard thing for them, but they did it specifically for Constantinople, and Mehmed put his treasury to restelss work for years. Several foundries, such is the one in Adrianople, were built specifically to craft cannons for this siege. According to John Julius Norwich, the resulting artillery force "far surpassed the defenders' expectations". So basically they couldn't anticipate because never in the history of the Ottomans had this great of an artillery train been crafted. However, and this is just my opinion, I don't think the Byzantines would've won if they had as many bombards. Their main resource was the city walls, therefore being especially vulnerable to artillery, but the Ottoman advantage was in their numbers, not in their fortifications. Thank you for watching and commenting, and consider subscribing to my channel as well!

😂😂😂😂 I think because of firqa parasti shame on

You mean ❤❤🇮🇷🇬🇷 because the Eastern Roman Empire doesn’t have any foothold on Italy anymore and the Romans are predominately Greek by then 😅

@@antiepix9555 This doesn't mean anything. To be Roman had long ceased to be about being from Italy, or controlling it, after the Edict of Caracalla gave citizenship to pretty much every free man in the empire (regardless of origin) they were then all Romans. Just because they spoke Greek doesn't mean their Roman identity is invalid, if you want to put it this way, they were Greeks with Roman citizenship.

Belli ki Müslüman olduğunu iddia ediyorsun.😂

Ha ha biz buradayız hiç bir yerede gitmiyoruz.

Because in Europe the state affairs were separated from the religion and they had much upper hand in scientific development. While Ottomans were still thinking where to go and invade, the European empires were conducting industrial revolution! Why to reconquer Constantinople? Who cares about this forgotten old city on the Lake? Center of the World had already shifted to the Atlantic from the 16th century. Invading lands had long ceased to be a method of securing revenue and prosperity

Nur a din zengi stopped the crusaders and his protégé Saladin continued his legacy and eradicated the crusader states

On the contrary, Charles V did not even have the courage to confront Sultan Suleiman. After Mohács, there was such fear in Europe that no army dared to fight the Turks in a pitched battle on land until the Battle of Keresztes . In fact, Sultan Suleiman was so angry that Charles V did not go to the battlefield and fled, leaving soldiers in the castles, that he sent him a letter. I came to your lands and ravaged and plundered as I wished and took your castles. If you have the courage, gather your army and meet me wherever you want to fight. Otherwise, do not think it brave to attack me when I return and find the field empty. Aren't you ashamed of your own soldiers with your cowardice? You talk about bravery, but you're not ashamed of your wife. Maybe she has the zeal and you don't.

1453 OTTOMAN !!!

Hello! I'm the maker of this video, and therefore the editor and responsible for what you are complaining about. I can't answer for previous videos because I didn't make them, but I can for this specific battle. What can I say, you're 100% right. As a cinematic battle maker, I try to make people empathize with one side or the other, so there is a personal implication that makes the video more engaging. Usually, I tell the story from the point of the underdog or outnumbered, in this case the Byzantines. This is not the correct way to research history, but I don't see why this is a problem when we are just enjoying a cinematic intepretation of it. Besides, these are very subtile changes: I don´t deliberately take the winners sources, nor inflate their numbers, nor try to ridiculize the adversaries (which some other channels do). I try to choose the most objective sources and tell the story which I think is closest to what actually happened. But yes, in the artistic department sometimes I'm biased, and far from being ashamed of it, I think it makes the video better. But I don't look at history that way when researching, it's just for cinematic purposes. Thank your for watching and for your honesty, and I hope this doesn't ruin the experience for you. If you enjoyed, please, take a look at some of my videos as well 🙏

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar Thank you for your honest response. I see you have multiple editors. I understand why you can make such high-precision videos. What can I say, you are 100% right. I understand that you are not history textbooks, but entertainers. I also understand that your videos are not so biased.( I can't stand to watch the American movie "300" or Chinese ethnocentric historical movies.) That's why I like your videos and watch them all, but at the same time, I can't concentrate on the entertainment because I'm bothered by the "noise". (Why do you focus on the Crusaders during defense instead of the Crusaders during invasion? Why do you focus on Greek victories instead of Persian victories? Why do sad music play when the white side loses? Why do Mongolian archers get close enough to throw javelins, and Ottoman riflemen don't back down even when the enemy is approaching (I understood that this is so that white listeners think "I did it!"), etc.) As a viewer, I would be very happy if you could improve your entertainment from one of them as the main character to one that is both the main characters. Thank you very much for reading this far.

@@あばばば-i6n I will take It into consideration! Kind regards

You’re comment makes no sense whatsoever… “happy music when the Arabs won but sad music when the byzantines lost”… get you’re act together man

@@WarAndHistory. Thank you bro. You are an honest man. I am also an honest man and I simply commented that "history should not have a hero." I am not saying that "if the Arabs win, play sad music. Or happy music." Please calm down.

Thank you for watching!

Indeed! Thank your for watching the video!

As the maker of the video, thank you for watching!

You are so Turk people .

As the maker of the video, I appreciate your comment!

Incorrect. After the fall of Constantinople, a great renaissance took place for Christians and the West. They discovered the New World, invaded East Asia, and controlled global trade from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The Western world at that time, especially Spain, owned and produced 83% of the world’s silver, the currency of global trade. Even now, Western currencies, the dollar, the euro, and the pound sterling, control 91% of global trade.

Indeed, the death of a hero. As the maker of the video, thank you for watching!

Is this the new cope?

WoW! Still crying about the city i see.

And now Constantinople still belongs to the Turks. The Last Ottoman leader is still better than the Byzantine victim 😂

​@@tha_MVPLAYA Republic of Turkey had actually fought off Constantinople from Ottomans dude! Ottoman Sultans asked British to help to protect from Turkish nationalists! Wake up, baby! Sultan and modern neo-Turks have nothing in common!

Thank you for watching!

It's Total War Attila, with the Medieval Kingdoms 1212AD mod :)

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar oh thank you man

@@RomeUnleashed No worries, I would know since I made the video 😅

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar oh really? lol i didnt notice. nice videos

@@RomeUnleashed Thank you!

Even sadder than the passion of Christ or the fall of Holy Russia and the end to the reign of Tsars the true successors of Rome after fall of Constantinople at the hands of Bolshevik barbarians?

Was it sadder than the sack of Constantinople by the Catholics who committed the most horrific massacres in the Fourth Crusade?🤔

Also Constantine XI died like a chad. Going down fighting is somewhat of a movie trope, but in reality it's much more rare than people think. As the maker of the video, thank you for watching!

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar Indeed, he made every Roman proud! Seeing his Last stand every Roman who ever lived would respect him

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar you did an excellente job creating the battle which was the last nail in the middle ages 's coffin RESPECT!! Do you guys can make the Eastern Roman Empire vs Kingdom of Hungary , the battle of Sirmium ?

it was cause of the walls not the soldiers

You can thank the Theodosian Wall for that. The only reason why the Roman Carcass was able to limp along after the 4th Crusade before it was put down in 1453.

Hi there, I made the video so I'll tell you about it! Western sources indicate up to 130k, while Turkish sources indicate 40k. Modern studies set the number of besiegers to somewhere in the middle, up to 80k. So it seems Western sources inflated the numbers to "justify" the loss, while Turkish sources downplayed the number to make it seem like a greater feat. Thank you for watching!

@@BellumCinematicsTotalWar Sui libri e siti di storia c'è scritto: i Turchi erano 80.000-160.000 soldati, alcune fonti dell'epoca parlano di 300.000 soldati ma gli storici trovano esagerata la cifra. I difensori di Costantinopoli erano circa 7000 soldati. Le navi turche erano 120 circa mentre le navi bizantine 24. In più i turchi avevano un nuovo tipo di cannone, mai usato prima, fatto apposta per sbriciolare le mura. I cannoni mi pare erano circa 70.
