Is the crusades a bunch of people?

@@milenelopez9307 good luck for the essay or test lmaoo

Why do think it's biased?

Well let's see. First let me say that although I wouldn't describe myself as religious nor conservative - I live in an area where many people are - so I'm weary of both sides of historical interpretation. There are a few issues with this. One is that it suggests the Crusades just began out of nowhere, as if Christians just did them for fun. It ignores Muslim conquests into Europe as if they didn't exist/weren't provoking a response. In general, it completely leaves out any sort of cause of the Crusades. It leaves out the Seljuk Turks' attacks into the Byzantine Empire, which is what directly led to the Byzantine Emperor calling on the Pope for help. It adds little text bubbles above the crusaders "Let's attack Muslims!" or whatever it says... A student watching is going to get the impression that they were just for fun, an exciting religious conquest. Now it also describes Christianity as an add-on to education during the time of Charlemagne when it was actually the centerpiece. I'm not a religious person, I have no stake in this. It's just interesting how it doesn't show (and even suggests to the contrary) how much of a dominant role churches played in education. Also, it acts as if the plague "undermined" the church...that's completely subjective and debatable. It could be argued that the church was strengthened after the plague. I could keep going, but those are the just the main things that popped out to me as I watched.

prehistoricRAP Thank you sir or ma'am for not falling into this trap! I'm happy I met someone with rational thinking and the capacity to see beyond flashy graphics.

prehistoricRAP Excellent. The video also failed to mention the Reformation which was kind of a big deal.

oh so peaceful catholics helping other christians eh? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade here educate yourself about "crusades" pretty please www.usna.edu/Users/history/abels/hh315/crusades_timeline.htm the crusades had more reasons to start than "just defending againts angry muslims"

Stefan Bogdanovic yes indeed

As if it wasn't ROME

It was't just Rome's brother, it literally was Rome, or at least the Roman Empire. Just because the West half was disintegrated doesn't mean it was game over for the Empire.

For sure true

LMAO

imma gonna leave a dislike to the video

Why don’t they make us watch bill wurtz’ video of the entire history of the world and save themselves 6 years of educating lmao

and also compass u dumfuck, really pissed u said compass was created in europe

U never knew that china helped the islams, pitty

plus printing press

columbus wasn't the first european to arrive in america

+Justin A. Lee yeah the first was a frenchman

thats what i thought……

this video is shit and lying

Latino América

gfcf14 well, Columbus was the first man outside of the americas to discover them. Ofc the natives had discovered it, nobody else had

@@comrademew6803 actually, it was supposed to be Leif Erikson who made it to America first in around the year 1000, but granted he only lingered around the north of Canada

Whoever was the first Homosapien to discover the Americas was the first Homosapien to discover the Americas technically speaking which was probably thousands of years ago

Columbus was the one who did in fact discover the Americas in the sense that 1: He had no concrete knowledge of them before he arrived and thus finding himself in a new area unknown to him is called a discovery. 2: It was only after Columbus found his way to the Americas that others began to follow suit. Leif Ericson did not cause large numbers of people to begin moving to the Americas, so his "discovery" is far less significant historically in that there was little impact on the world. Therefore, Columbus being the first man to sail to the Americas and bring back information that led others to sail there as well means he did in fact discover the Americas for Europe to begin settleing there.

The Umbrella Academy fans: Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople-

Hamish Ryan hmm maybe because,y’know,they WERE bad people back in the day?!?

@@ecolieee628 It is lame/BIAS. Crusades were a way to rid the Muslims out of Europe/Africa/Eastern Europe and take back what was originally Byzantium and Christendom. The Muslim menace was even in Ibera (Italy) which was eventually taken back by Christians. Christians were raided by, vikings, attacked by ottomen Empire and attacked by the Muslim menace. Everyone was "bad" back in the day lol. No mention of the Magna Carta even...

@@hellinterface6721 The crusades were first taking back, later they attacked muslims original lands.

it just confused me more pls explain

People sweep the Eastern Romans under the rug most probably because the catholics in Western Europe where not fans of Orthodox Christianity (the religion of the Eastern Romans) and in the Renaissance, people in Italy who glorified the memory of their ancestors in Ancient Rome didn't like the fact that Rome still actually existed, but maintained by ethnic Greeks, so they gave them the title "Byzantines". This rhetoric is actually really annoying and makes people generally completely forget that the Roman Empire existed through to the very end of the Middle Ages. It's really annoying and it's good to see others pointing them out.

@BenkethePirate the video is 3 and half minutes long...not everything can fit in there

@@Marmaidena Well then the creator of the video shouldn't claim that it is literally 1000 years squeezed into 3 1/2 minutes.

Your absolutely right

But in Arabic they call the ones you mentioned "jami'a" Which translates to University

@@Mitsuki_Yukito The system of "university" cannot exist before the first university was created in the 11th century. You can say a word is a translation and it doesn't indicate when that translation got that meaning. It's a translation and the meanings of words change all the time. If someone said "jami'a" meant "university" in the 10th century that would have been impossible because the concept of a university hadn't been invented, so they couldn't apply the concept. As an example, someone today could decide that "jami'a" also now means "airplane" (I know it doesn't, its just an example). You wouldn't then argue that because the word "jami'a" has been in use for centuries it means the airplane was invented years before it was actually invented.

@@harryunderhill5041 Oh I get you

*SNAPS!

Good thing that's not the case :)

What's with all of you thinking the same thing, even after I've indicated otherwise? Is this how you develop your unearned confidence and false sense of security? Let me be clear: I enjoyed how they compiled important pieces of history into a video. It was well done, and I appreciate how they made it short and sweet because I was taking a history course, in which most of these facts were referenced; it allowed me to stay interested in a class, which was not of my major. Simple? I think so.

Rich Perez Some people are just too rude...

and just for the record, this video was really short, obviously it wasn't going to get down everything. People want their religion or race to always be superior even in the past. history is history people. Yes the middle east was far ahead of us in science, and yes Europe was stupid.... get over it.

Mark Anthony Bulaon WTF? Do you know anything about medieval history?? Torture was less gruesome than Roman torture (crucifixion, gladiatorial combat, etc.); the Black Death was only to the mid-to end of the 14th century (which is only a small fraction of the medieval period) and disease is not unique to the middle ages, see the Plague of Athens or outbreaks of Cholera in other periods; and finally, religious war tore up Europe... in the late 1500's after the Protestant Reformation. Europe was not notable war-torn during the Middle Ages. Finally, I'd advise you to improve your grammar before you try to be a smartass. Otherwise, you look like an idiot.

+Mark Anthony Bulaon Woooooow. Your best rebuttal is a childish "fuck you" -- obviously you can't even support a simple argument. I'd like to see you do better. And what does religion have to do with this? Religion was a central concern of humankind from the Mesopotamian civilizations, to the Greek and Roman worlds, to the Medieval periods... all the way up to the 20th century. One of the excuses of 20th century Imperialism was that it Christianized "pagan" and "heathen" peoples. And FYI, I'm an atheist -- I'm trying to get at historical reality. English isn't my language either. I am slavic, and English is germanic with romance elements. So that's a poor excuse for ineloquence.

Mark Anthony Bulaon *Sigh* okay, if you won't listen to me, you should at least listen to Stanford's Encyclopedia of Philosophy or the Encyclopedia Britannica. Stanford University's page on Roger Bacon: "Roger Bacon (1214/1220-1292), was one of the early Masters who taught Aristotle's works on natural philosophy and metaphysics. Sometime after 1248-49, he became an independent scholar with an interest in languages and experimental-scientific concerns." (plato.stanford.edu/entries/roger-bacon/) Britannica on Al-Khwarizmi: Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (born c. 780-died c. 850), Muslim mathematician and astronomer whose major works introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concepts of algebra into European mathematics. Latinized versions of his name and of his most famous book title live on in the terms algorithm and algebra. (www.britannica.com/biography/al-Khwarizmi) I could give you so many more names of medieval scientists and philosophers. Those are just two examples off the top of my head. Basically, YES, there was LOTS of science in the Middle Ages, and the Bible was NOT the only source of knowledge by a LONG SHOT.

Mark Anthony Bulaon Give me one example of a scientist in the Middle Ages (500-1500) burned or persecuted because of practicing science. Then I will believe you. Hint: Hypatia, Giordano Bruno and Galileo are from either before or after that time period. They are either ANCIENT or RENAISSANCE, not MEDIEVAL

Well, not really tbh. Just because Jerusalem, Antioch and other cities in the levant where held by Muslims before the First Crusade doesn't mean much changed. Christians in Europe where still perfectly free to go on pilgrimages to these holy sites and could freely worship God there. The First Crusade only started because Seljuk Turks conquered some land in Anatolia, leading to the Roman Emperor calling on Pope Urban for aid. The conquest of the Holy Land as an excuse for the Crusades by then was pretty out of date as well as dumb, though it is justified to retaliate war from the Seljuks with a military expedition.

@@awtqrtrkjsrs For true believers it wouldn't really matter if those lands were conquered yesterday or centuries ago. They were clearly important. But yeah, my comment was more referring to the Seljuks taking apart the Byzantine Empire. So it's not like the "Christians are attacking" but rather defending themselves.

@@Siegbert85 Yeah, I agree on that. A counterattack is not an act of aggression and is therefore not truly an attack.

Themistocles Papassilekas Lets not forget China and Japan.

Of course, but I think the vid is so one sided the creators don't even consider this as "east", most probably for them it's a "galaxy far, far away" :D

because byzantine was backwards and not really done any progress also hated by west. not comparable to advances that muslim world made en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade but you are right it should have included

+Richard Winters lol, good one

Gryzor care to debunk?

Awesome

Well that depends what you mean by the Renaissance. The Renaissance is a very vague era of history, meaning that my statement here can be interpreted as right, wrong, or only partially right, but the general view on the start of the Renaissance is when refugees fleeing from the Ottoman-conquered Constantinople arrived in Italy, bringing with them art and knowledge from Ancient Rome and Greece that had been preserved by the Romans in Constantinople.

Or you know, about the general fact that the LITERAL ROMAN EMPIRE was still around. Just, you know, very important stuff to include.

Te falta el virus, la corona ya la tenes

Well the Pope only has so much power (and Pope Innocent was especially not very respected, which is fully justified based on his acts) and the crossbow, as well as bows and slings where only banned by the pope when used against christians.

Yep, and much earlier than the video says.

Yay! You might get executed for a minor crime, or tortured or imprisoned in a terrible prison. You might even get caught in a war if you're lucky! Then you'll become either a refugee, a prisoner, a conscripted soldier, slave or perhaps even a dead body! But wait, there's more! Have some diseases, whether it be infections from minor flesh wounds or simply a virus from simply eating a piece of food! I know this is a bit cynical, but the point is that historical periods are romanticized as amazing times when it would be so cool to be there, but then society was pretty segregated between classes, death and suffering was around every corner and life would generally be ... well ... not so great. To me, 10 minute trips in a time machine would be a better idea.

TID-BITS? You mean important events that should definitely have been included. Without the Mongol invasions, much technology and knowledge from East Asia would not have arrived to Europe until probably centuries later (since the Mongols where the ones to restore the silk road), and there would likely be no Russian Nation. Without gunpowder in Europe, there would have likely been practically no European global empires and widespread colonialism by the English, Spanish, French and others. Without the fall of Constantinople, Rome would have endured and the ancient classical Greek and Roman art and information would not have reached Western Europe to kickstart the Renaissance, which led to the Enlightenment, which led in turn to the Industrial Revolution etc... In conclusion, you can't wrap 1000 years of important history into 3 1/2 minutes, because it just isn't possible, especially when the creator of the video is approaching it from a Euro-centric, biased and unhistorical perspective. So there.

Yes, please do! :)

Thank you

all true

I hope you didn't, this is biased information

YES! YES!!!

its..... history.

nina eide The west made many discoveries during the Middle Ages that this video didn't highlight.
