@@KOMUTAN_KENDAL Neither the Theotokos (Mary, the God-bearer) nor God interrupts or prevents humans from being human. Perhaps the Theotokos didn't intervene because it was Constantinople's time. In a similar way, Allah didn't intervene when the Turkish empire collapsed. If you want or need a more definitive answer, ask the Theotokos.
@@ludovikpravoslavnik8785 Great Answer, the real reason Constantinople didn't not hold was because the last 200 years of treachery from fellow Christians in the West. Crusader army sacking Constantinople was the beginning of the end. The Venetians had no interest in keeping the Eastern Empire as a rival so all their help was half-hearted and why the other Italian states were slow to react to pleas of help from Constantinople. The Catholics, Latins stabbed their Christian brothers in the back.
@@samsmith2635 Thank you. I needed a reply like yours! By the time of the Fall, Constantinople had diminished to a population of around 40,000 -- hardly enough to ward off the Turks. The pope of Rome did send four ships -- again, hardly enough to ward off the Turks. Europe paid -- by being attacked next after the Fall.
As a Serb I admire Greek civilization, culture, religion, ortodoxy as all other Serbs do from the young age. I was two times in Constantinopolis visiting our holy churches turned into mosques, great walls and I have the same feeling of pain, sorrow and anger why Europe allowed this to happen. I see Turks and a muslims as an alliens in this holy city.
Imagine if after the first Balkan war, the League of Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece had formed a Balkan Union to combine their military strength and economy. Such a polity would have been too much for the turks to hold on to their last remaining parts in Europe freeing Constantinople and Bosporus gradually. It would have been the most powerful European polity in eastern med. A precursor to NATO & EU but combing strengths of all without the violent ethnic divisions that has kept these countries weak individually and prone to external interference. When I see the current demographic trends of all the 6 modern countries of erstwhile Balkan League, maybe such an union would have made more sense now that we can imagine.
I'm not happy that the nations of Europe allowed Byzantium to fall either and I want to see it restored too. I'm no fan of the Turks to be honest and I want them run out of Constantinople, the true name to 'Istanbul'. It's one of history's great tragedies that Asia Minor was forever lost to Christianity and that Byzantium fell to the Turks.
It was the Western Rome Empire the seat of the Pope that helped and sent the crusaders to conquer Constantinople many times but they couldn’t break the walls of the glorious polis . Then the Turks arrived they bought these huge cannons from the Kingdom Hungary and all of the European countries joined against Constantinople ! Well by that time the Empire was broke with no money to raise another army and finally it fell to the Mongolian Turks

Constantinople was a Greek, not a Roman city. Before Emperor Constantine renamed it in his honor the city was named Byzantium. The city of Byzantium was founded by the Ancient Greeks in 657 BC. Constantine renamed it in 330 AD, meaning the city was 987 years old when it was renamed.
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.

É um cântico grego ortodoxo. Conta-se que os ávaros tentaram atacar Constantinopla enquanto o imperador estava ausente da cidade, em campanha militar contra os persas, no século VI. O patriarca de Constantinopla liderou orações públicas em toda a cidade e em torno da muralha. Quando as orações terminaram, uma grande tempestade se formou e destruiu a frota dos ávaros. O cântico é um agradecimento a Virgem Maria por ter ajudado a proteger a cidade do ataque dos ávaros. O vídeo não representa o cântico, pois mostra Constantino XI, último imperador romano do Oriente, atirando-se na batalha contra os turcos que tomaram Constantinopla em 1453.
The Byzantine Empire did not have a national anthem. This is an Orthodox hymn rending grace to the Virgin Mary for a victory over the Avars. Now play it at 1,25X speed...
The story goes (I think) that the night before the capture, Constantine XI prayed in Hagia Sophia and then rode his horse slowly through the dark city to take up his position on the great Theodosian walls. I have an image of him on the parapets turning around and looking back one last time across the doomed city. The weight of a thousand years of history must have been absolutely crushing. Then he turned back to face the overwhelming Ottoman forces that he must have known would overrun the defenders and end the Byzantine Empire before the sun set that day. 😭

The Roman Empire was not a nation, it was an empire. Therefore it didn't have a national anthem. There is no such thing as a national anthem for an empire. In fact, back in those years, there was no such thing at all. Speaking for national anthems during the medieval era is pure nonsense.
@@rafexrafexowski4754 It never split into two different empires. It was a co existing rule of two administrative centers of power. One empire ruled by two emperors. Like England, a monarch and a prime minister. Terms like "The Eastern Roman Empire" and "western Roman Empire" is for easier understanding and explanation of both rulers. The Empire still was one, both emperors helped each other and both were roman. once a western Emperor died, the east would take all western territories until a new western emperor was sat on the throne. and the only reason they fought against each other is when a usurper took one a throne without the other emperor's approval.
This is not the anthem of the Byzantine empire, an "anthem of the Byzantine empire" never existed. This is a hymn to Maria, Jesus mother, Panagia Theotokos (The Blessed Virgin Mary) composed and sang all night long, standing up, by the people of Constantinoupolis the night the City (Constantinoupolis) was saved by Her from an invasion of the Avares
In reality it was the people's national/religious anthem/hymn to Theotokos/ Mother of God Maria , the protector of the medieval grecochristian state of Romania , known in West as Byzantium since 17th century.
