It is quite sad that Constantinople's name got unnecessarily changed, especially if we consider that the Ottomans officialy kept the name until just a century ago. "Istanbul" is not a bad name, but it has nothing to do against the supreme badassery of "Constantinople"

The Battle of Manzikert paved way for Crusades and the Turkification of Anatolia which laid the seeds of the Ottoman empire which conquered Constantinople ending Rome and triggering the Age of Discovery which shaped much of the modern world,... A battle can only be this impactful

Western authors give additional details about mixed marriages and the children born into such unions. The Latin historians of the Crusades noted in Anatolia a specific group of the Turkopouli (that is, 'the children of the Turks') who were born of a Greek mother and a Turkish father. For the beginning of the fourteenth century, the Catalan soldier and chronicler Ramon Muntaner reports that the Turks of western Anatolia married girls from noble Greek families. It is especially interesting that the male children of these mixed marriages 'became Turks and were circumcised', while for female children the choice of religion was free. The same difference between the religious affiliation of boys and girls was reported by Ludolf von Suchen in the middle of the fourteenth century. Von Suchen maintains that when the Turks married Christian women, the boys of the mixed marriages followed the Muslim religion of their fathers while the girls maintained the Christian faith of their mothers. However, as we have seen in Byzantine canonical texts, boys also could be baptised by their mothers. These reports confirm that, firstly, mixed marriages between Muslims and Greek women were common throughout the centuries, and, secondly, that the children of both Muslim and mixed marriages were baptised according to Orthodox Greek rites.

The fact that he doesn't mention the literal genocide of thousands,almost a million of greeks that took place is greatly insulting .You are erasing a whole era of greek history and culture by just only mentioning the armenian genocide (and briefly as well ) . Disappointing

Good lord this is awful, just a few notes: 1. Antioch isn't in Anatolia, nor is it, along with Constantinople, one of the only two important cities in the history of Christianity. 2. Byzantium was no more multiconfessional than elsewhere in Europe. There weren't many Muslims, and Jews weren't more numerous. This didn't lend itself to an atmosphere of tolerance either. 3. Fixating on Manzikert is a mistake. Yes it was significant, but it ignores internal and external events both before and after. There was no suddent massive demographic shift; that took a LONG time, and Byzantium had recovered much of its position within a few generations. 4. Actually I'm giving up here because there's way too much.

10:06 MAJOR CORRECTION children were forcibly taken against the will of their families for nothing in return and taught to forget their past in order to be used as soldiers against their people... The only way to keep your child safe and in your hands was by bгeaking one of their arms or legs

8:42 Among others?!?! You should've mentioned that those "other" laws included the KIDNAPPING of Christian children for the Sultan's personal army and the rule which allowed the local turkish governor/soldier to sleep with a man's wife before their honeymoon... Also not being able to ring the bells on their churchee, but the first two were WAY more important that anything y'all mentioned...

No, you make it sound like when the Ottomans conquered Constantinople they renamed it Istanbul. But it was not renamed until 500 years later. In fact, for the entire duration of the Ottoman empire, it's official name was Costantiniyye: essentially still Constantinople. And, ironically, Istanbul is a Greek name. Eis tin poli means "in the city". It was only adopted officially after the Ottoman empire was dismantled.

Intermarriage between Turks and Greek, Armenian and Georgian natives of Anatolia was not unheard of, although the majority of these unions were between Turkish men and Christian women. The children of these unions, known as 'Mixovarvaroi', were raised as Turks and were of the Muslim faith (although there were some cases of Mixovarvaroi defecting to the Byzantines). It is likely that these unions played a role in the eventual diminishment of the Christian population in Anatolia and its transition from Greek/Christian to Turkish/Muslim. Vryonis Jr, Speros (1971). The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century. California: Berkeley University Press. p. 176.

Many inaccuracies here and there which are not even down to the fast pace of the video. I will only name some of these : 1. Matzikert was not initself a crucial battle, it was just a run of the mill battle between Eastern Romans (Greeks) and Seljuks (Turks). There were numerous such battles some won by Greek (who literally slayed big Seljuk armies, all forgotten by now) others by Seljuks. What did the job for the Seljuks was the massive Civil War of the 1070s following the battle of Matzikert as well as the rebellion of the Frankish mercenaries in central Anatolia when Turks had actually retracted. Only after these 2 events the Turks re-enterred and started raiding all over the place but still their expansion was not as far as the map was shown (i.e. taking almost all of Minor Asia - this expansion occured only 2 centuries later after the Eastern Empire had been destroyed by the Catholics). 2. The Janissaries were abducted enslaved children which were forced to convert and serve the Sultan. The tails of "Christians willingly giving their children to slavery are bogus turkish claims and refer to cases where people were literally dying of hunger, the fault of the Turks who were taking everything, and hence as a last ditch effort they would prefer to see their sons be taken to the Janissaries rather than see them die". For the Christians, converting to islam was converting to satanism so there is no such case as "Christians willingly giving their kids to the Turks" - this myth was rather created by Turks to precisely swear at Christians and present them as people who don't even love their kids. 3. The video presented it as-if Christians in general (thus Greeks in them) remembered to rebel in the 19th century after the nationalism wave hit Europe. LOL! Rather it happened the other way round : in Europe there was absolutely no nationalism going on anywhere and the only place where nationalism existed was among Greeks in the Ottoman Empire. Greeks - and no other Christian (apart rare occasions among the Serbs) - were rebelling constantly against the Ottomans and were in a state of constant warfare with the Ottomans throughout the 3,5 centuries of occupation between 1353 and 1821. The biggest revolution was not even that of 1821 but that of 1768 where, in collaboration with Russians (who only exploited but did not create the Greek Revolution) the 80% of the Ottoman fleets were burned and the Empire was trembling, having lost total control of the Aegean Sea. The Empire was saved then and there by the intervention of the western Europeans who threatened the Russians out of that alliance and isolating the Greeks, then financing and arming and training the Ottomans to beat the Greeks. 1768 is of course earlier than any "nationalist revolution" in Europe. The first "nationalist movements" in Europe ooccured post-1830s and were precisely inspirerd by the Greeks. It is thus funny that people will say that it was the other way round. In general not just this channel but youtube history channels keep recreating historical inaccuracies. Which is kinda sad given the opportunities this medium presents.

You forgot to mention the Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian genocides that resulted in the deaths of over 1.5 million Christians. You also did not mention the forced relocation of 2 million Indigenous Greeks living in their ancestral home lands in Western Anatolia (modern day West Turkey), to mainland Greece.

Armenian Genocide in WWI caused the biggest expulsion of Christians in Anatolia.

People's awareness of Greek civilization and identity came away gravely damaged after the decline of the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman rule. “Hellene,” the appellation that defined the Greek people, had been abandoned: because Byzantium was part of the Roman Empire, the Greeks had taken to calling themselves Romans, Ῥωμαίοι. At the turn of the nineteenth century, as Ottoman rule waned and Greece regained a sense of its own identity, the language situation was, to put it mildly, paradoxical. The traditional written language had remained largely faithful to ancient Athenian-based Koine, yet it was so removed from the language then spoken that people no longer understood it. And there was no one cultural, political, or social identity strong enough to impose its language on the new Greek society. The only center to safeguard Greekness over the centuries had been the Church, which had done so by conserving ancient Koine. So, people looked to it to provide the revival of Hellenism with a common language. When the Greek War of Independence came to an end, the one way to recover a common outlook was to take a step back in time- two thousand years back. In fact, in its infancy, modern Greece established its identity by returning to its roots in Pericles' Athens of fifth century BC. Therefore, the written language that originated from Hellenistic Koine, which itself originated from the lonic-Attic dialect, gave Greece a united language that corresponded to their reacquired sense of national unity. Modern Greek pronunciation was achieved by keeping what was common to the majority of Hellenes and eliminating all local quirks. The vowel sounds of Koine remained intact, as did its written form. Modern Greek phonetics is the same as Hellenistic phonetics, though some consonants are pronounced differently. Although the grammatical forms that had disappeared thousands of years before, like aspect, dual number, the optative, and the dative, could not be resurrected, in many regards modern Greek remained ancient. The current language continues to draw a distinction between the present and aorist, retaining all of that distinction's semantic value, and still uses the accusative, nominative, genitive, and vocative cases (though the plural genitive is rarely used, and the nominative and vocative are often mixed up). Modern Greek made two surprising innovations. It got rid of infinitive verbs-a feature it shares with the languages of the Balkans-and invented a future tense by paraphrasing the verb "to want": "I will judge" is expressed as a кpivo, "I want to judge"-and therefore "will judge."

The Christian sources describe the naval attacks of the Turks as operations of pirates who aimed at pillaging property and taking captives to sell in slave-markets. Latins and Byzantines expressed much indignation at the spectacle of emirs who were proud only because they were able to lead their ferocious soldiers in predatory raids. The earliest source narrating the wars carried out by the Turks in the Byzantine frontier zones during the collapse of the Seljuk state is the work of George Pachymeres; he describes the Turkish warriors as people earning their living by the knife. Nevertheless what the Christians used to call piracy or brigandage was for the Muslim Turks a Holy War a praiseworthy and legitimate occupation leading directly to Paradise. In 1354 the Metropolitan of Thessalonica Gregory Palama sliving among the Turks as a prisoner realized with surprise that the Turks attributed their victories over the Byzantines to their love for God: For these impious people hated by God and infamous boast of having got the better of the Romans by their love of God... they live by the bow, the sword, and debauchery finding pleasure in taking slaves, devoting themselves to murder pillage spoil... and not only do they commit these crimes but even - what an aberration - they believe that God approves of them. This is what think of them now that know more precisely about their way of life.

Colonization. An army conquered the region and forced it's people to change their language and culture.

There mustn't be a better example of a 'moving' ethno-linguistic group than the Turkic peoples. They started out from Eastern Siberia (Mongolia, Altai) and now are main ethnic constituents of various countries, like Turkey, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, etc.

In a poem, Malik Danishmend boasts: "I am Al Ghazi Danishmend, the destroyer of churches and towers". Destruction and pillaging of churches figure prominently in his poem. Another part of the poem talks about the simultaneous conversion of 5,000 people to Islam and the murder of 5,000 others.[129] Michael the Syrian wrote: “As the Turks were ruling the lands of Syria and Palestine, they inflicted injuries on Christians who went to pray in Jerusalem, beat them, pillaged them, and levied the poll tax [jizya]. Every time they saw a caravan of Christians, particularly of those from Rome and the lands of Italy, they made every effort to cause their death in diverse ways".[130] Such was the fate German pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1064. According to one of the surviving pilgrims:[131] "Accompanying this journey was a noble abbess of graceful body and of a religious outlook. Setting aside the cares of the sisters committed to her and against the advice of the wise, she undertook this great and dangerous pilgrimage. The pagans captured her, and the sight of all, these shameless men raped her until she breathed her last, to the dishonor of all Christians. Christ's enemies performed such abuses and others like them on the christians." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians

What happened to the majority of people who were not Christians, when the Christians began to rule in Anatolia?

One of the reasons why the Ottoman Empire's Muslim population increased was because of the conversion of the Albanians and the Bosniaks from Christianity to Islam and also the later migration of the Circassian tribes from the Caucasus after the Russian Empire seized the Caucasus from them.

The predominance of Greek women at the Seljuk harem thus seems to have been merely a royal variation of a common practice in Muslim Anatolia. Greek women were valued as the most prestigious marriage partners among all strata of Muslim society. It was Greek women who guided their Muslim husbands and masters into the refined Byzantine way of life and the world of Byzantine luxury, introducing among other things new cuisines and ways of structuring the household. Although the information on Seljuk marriage policy in the eleventh to twelfth century is scarce, it seems highly probably that the Seljuk harem was modelled along similar lines as other strata of Muslim Anatolian society, with a preference of marriage to Greek women who in turn acted as mediators to the old world of the 'empire of the Romans'. Peacock, A. and Yildiz, S., 2012. The Seljuks of Anatolia.

Christian Orthodox people belonged to the millet-i Rum, and progressively, Greek became the dominant means of communication amongst the members of the millet, who were called by others and were calling themselves. Romioi. Interestingly, the term 'Hellene' still signified for most people the pagan classical tradition, and it was a term that especially the clergy was keen to eliminate. Certain evocations of the term 'Hellene' by Byzantine scholars (e.g. in the twelfth century) contained some elements of contemporary ethnic identification, but it never acquired widespread currency, it never really "caught" on' (Beaton 2007: 93).

As an Assyrian they got murdered. Half of our population was killed starting in 1914 by the Ottoman Turks and their Kurdish allies. Almost completely emptying the entire regions of Mardin, Diyarbekir, Urfa, Hakkari of Assyrians. About 2000 individuals are left. Only one personof my family survived. Same goes for Armenians and Greeks. This ws also not the first time massacres happened. They also treated many 'non-believers' as second class citizens. Discriminating them through severe taxation, legal rights, oen example wa stje Blood Tax which menat they enslaved young Christian men for conversion to Islam and service in the military. This led many to conver as well.

Thank you for keeping us informed on so many levels. I feel like the more I learn about the low-income people of our country, the more my anger grows. Thanks Arleth. Imagine investing $1000 and receiving $5,450 in 3 days.🇺🇸

8:23 Constantinople wasn't renamed after Mehmed Fatih's conquest. The city was informally called "Istanbul" since several centuries earlier but it wasn't officially renamed until 1930.

love how they casually forgot to talk about greek, armenian and assyrian genocides which also played a very big role!

This vid is trying to be polically correct about what really happened to the christians .same thing as other muslim countries .

was just thinking about this today crazy u made a vid on it👍

Knowledgia is in great timing thanks bro

The timeline of the Ottoman Empire is crazy af. The medieval realm that destroyed the roman empire ceased to exist when H*tler was already an adult 🤯

They were culture enriched...

Wished the video delved deeper on the expulsion of Christian Greeks and Armenia by the Turks from Anatolia.

I am guessing people won't talk about their genocide? What happened was Genocide. When the Muslims conquered they killed those who didn't convert. While, they didn't at first, but overtime you can read about how it got worse and worse for the Christians making it worth changing faith.

5:25 very good point. The Eastern Mediterranean being much more diverse with Muslims, Jews and Christians living together and closer to Islam's origin made it easier for Islam to spread into Anatolia and stay mostly Muslim till today.

I love Turkey from Philippines!😊 🇵🇭❤️🇹🇷

One correction: Janissary corps those were taken from christian communities were largely from Balkan peninsula not from Anatolia, Syria and eastern regions where also Armenian people lived together with Muslim community.

Turkish bots cherry picking academic works is a pretty consistent trend on vids like this…

It took hundreds of years to acrually make the Empire Christian. Paganism did mot just vanish. It got bloody.

Correction about the Roman Empire adopting Christianity. Constantine didn’t make Christianity the official religion that was Theodosius. Constantine legalized Christianity. Constantine wasn’t Christian himself, he was a member of the sol invitus cult which shared many similarities with Christianity.

What happened to Muslim majority Spain, Portugal, Ukraine?

Hate the Byzantine name but weird that you seem to consider the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium different entities. Idk, at the end of the day all I know is that there are still small communities of Greek speaking Orthodox Romans im Syria and Turkey

Hope you will continue spread the knowledge around the world🌍

The answer is simple as it was peaceful community and how they peacefully did genocide.

exactly what happened to Iberian muslims. the Spanish had more barbaric torture devices though

This is incredibly simplistic, I thought I’d learn something of the conversion of Anatolia but you really painted in broad strokes, its conversion was almost a millennia long process…

the question is why there are churchs in Turkey but not a SINGLE mosques in Greece ? and what happened to spanish muslims during the conquesta ?

Ibn Battuta often spoke of slaves that the Turks used as domestic servants or sex slaves during his travels through Anatolia during the 1300s. There was a large number of slaves at Laodicea, in the harems of the prominent citizens. Some of the slaves had arrived in the marketplaces in large quantities, and Batouta himself acquired a slave woman at Balıkesir, close to Pergamon. According to Ibn Battuta, the emir of Smyrna, Omour Beg, among the most famous of slave traders during this period (and often went into expeditions for slaves in the Aegean Sea) personally presented him with the gift of a slave woman. The slaves often sought to escape at any costs. Battuta describes how his slave fled from Magnesia together with another slave and how the two fugitives were later captured.[79][120][121] In the year 1341, The Turkish bey Umur of Aydin terrorized the Christians in the Aegean sea with his 350 ships and 15,000 men from a captured port in Smyrna, capturing many slaves.[122] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world

Another factor was mostly refugees from other parts of the empire fleeing into Anatolia. There were also Circassians fleeing genocide into anatolia. It increased the proportions on muslims to christians in anatolia.

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge love from India❤🇮🇳

I am part asian greek, I find this sad yet very interesting thank you!

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

Seljuk Turkomans was an Oghuz Turkic, Sunni Muslim dynasty. The Seljuks established the Seljuk Empire (1037-1194), the Sultanate of Kermân (1041-1186), and the Sultanate of Rûm (1074-1308). The name Rûm was a synonym for the medieval Eastern Roman Empire and its peoples, as it remains in modern Turkish. The Seljuks were the prime targets of the First Crusade. The Seljuks originated from the Kinik branch of the Oghuz Turks who in the 8th century lived north of the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea in their Oghuz Yabgu Khaganate (750 AD - 1055 AD) in the Kazakh Steppe of Turkestan.

"The Roman people survived as one among many ethnic groups in the new Muslim empire. It was not until many centuries later that the millet system emerged, which ecclesiastically placed most Orthodox groups under the patriarch of Constantinople. Outside of this administrative arrangement, the Rum remained one ethnic group among others, distinct from the Bulgarians, Christian Albanians, Vlachs, and Serbs. Romans who emigrated to the west had to take on a “Greek” social pro file, because that is how they were recognized there." Anthony Kaldellis, The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium, p.915

As an outsider, or rather as a Sephardic whose grandparents come from Turkey, I am always fascinated by how the Greeks and Armenians like to play the Christian card when it comes to the Turks and believe that they present themselves as innocent victims of genocide, with the Greek army and the numerous armed Armenians over 3 Millions of Muslims and Jews were wiped out in Turkey during the First World War. I don't even want to start with Thessaloniki with the extermination of the entire Jewish population and the mass murder and numerous deportations of the once predominantly Muslim Balkans. The Greeks quickly forgot Mora, Tripolice and Chameria. There has been bloodshed among all peoples in the history of humanity, but this ridiculous constant probaganda of some peoples does not wash them away in their innocence

Next make a video about what happened to the cultures, languages and religions of millions and millions of native South and Central Americans.

I remember growing up in Pakistan when I heard the word constantinople "qustuntunie in urdu" for the first time I was like it's such a badass name

Constantine was not only one of the greatest emperors of all time, but also a top-notch troll. Everyone in Rome was completely ecstatic because they calculated a 100% chance that Maxentius would make Constantine his b*tch at the Milvian Bridge, only to find Constantine entering Rome while carrying Maxentius' head on a dpear and saying: "Guess who prayed to the wrong God" 😉

What happened to the Turkish and Muslim majority of Macedonia? All the Balkans.

A perfect source to learn what happened in Anatolia at first half of the millennia in detail : "The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century, Speros Vryonis

Thanks. 👍

They converted to islam gradually over 800 years and their churces were reduced to ruins mostly

I mean considering what actually happened. It's colonialism. That's what happened Water under the bridge now, Turkey is Turkish and that's no one's business but the Turks but that is what happened (Even if they really, REALLY need to lay off the Kurds. No one is going to remember them fondly for that because the Kurds aren't going anywhere)

Well done. A suggestion: adjust your voice app so that you don’t put emphasis on prepositions and conjunctions. It will make the presentation more forceful.

This is quite wrong: Byzantium did not integrate any Muslims and there were not more Jews in Byzantium than in the West (the core of historical Jewry was Hispania and to lesser extent nearby areas of Italy and Provence, Marseilles being at the origin of the Ashkenazi spread to Germany and beyond). Muslims on the other hand were relatively tolerant of both Christians and Jews (and the Ottomans, among various others, welcomed the exiled Sephardites), while Islamization of Anatolia was mostly achieved by brutal genocide of Christians in the Ottoman-Republic transition at the end of WWI. The Armenian genocide is well known but the forced exile to Greece of millions of Anatolian Christians, arbitrarily considered by their religion to be ethnic Greeks (although many only spoke Turkish) was maybe even more decisive. It's quite ironic that secularist Kemalism was the main actor in this Islamization of Turkey. On a lesser note, Constanipole and Antioch are not in Asia Minor, even if they are in the modern Republic of Turkey.

I'm sure the comments will be civil and respectful

The Ottoman Empire wants to know your location

The name Constantinople changed in 1930. In Ottoman era, the name is "Konstantiniyye" which means "The city of Constantine" Ottomans just changed the name from Greek to Turkish. Mehmed did not changed the name because Mehmed knows and reads a lot about Roman Empire. Also he wants to become a Roman emperor. After he took the city, he called himself "Qayser-i Rum" which means "Roman Caesar" or "Caesar of the Romans". So it will be absurd if he changes the name of the city. Also if you look at the design of the Ottoman Mosques, you will see that the design is inspired by Haghia Sophia and other Orthodox Cathedrals. It is a little mistake I saw on the video. Also I think do not believe the statistics about Turkish Government, I am Turkish and there is no way that the muslim percent is %99 in Turkiye. It is much much lower.

I like how the author silenced genocides turks did for centuries

You forgot to mention 15-20 million balkan white muslims were forced to migrate to Ottoman empire to save their life. This also help to increase muslim population in Turkey

Im from Serboa wgich were for centurys in Otoman slavery so i tell you no parents wan't to give childrens in Janičari, they even cut their fingers or other parts just to stay home and that is real tru!!!

There was a very extensive slave trade of Christians in Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks in the eleventh and twelfth centuries which caused a significant decline in the numbers of Christians in Asia minor. After Edessa was captured and pillaged, 16,000 Christians were enslaved. Michael the Syrian reported that 16,000 Christians were enslaved and sold at Aleppo when the Turks, led by Nur ad-Din invaded Cilicia. Major raids in the Greek provinces of western Anatolia led to the enslavement of thousands of Greeks. 26,000 people from Armenia, Mesopotamia and Cappadocia were captured and taken to slave markets during Turkic raids in the year 1185. "Asia Minor continued to be a major source of slaves for the Islamic world through the 14th century" according to Speros Vryonis.[118] After the Seljuks conquered parts of Asia Minor, they brought to the devastated lands Greek, Armenian and Syrian farmers after enslaving entire Byzantine and Armenian villages and towns.[119] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world

Constantinople wasn’t renamed to istanbul until after ww1. this video isn’t fully accurate

Short answer: the Turks genocided them

Constantinople did not change name after its fall. it renaned with the same name until 20th century.

Same thing as what happened in North Africa. Many Christian communities in that region resisted conversion for centuries after the 7th century conquest, but being cut off from the rest of Christiandom and with no hope of ejecting their overlords resulted that with the partial exception of the Copts in Egypt practically everyone had converted to Islam by the early Second Milllennium.

Make a detailed video on Jenniseries !

There will be a day the Hagia Sophia will be a church again.

8:23 It was called Konstantiniyye. Changed to Istanbul much much later.

I cover this topic in my History of the Middle East and Western Civ courses! It would also be interesting to show what happened when the Mughals entered India. If you enjoy history, I am a history professor and put all my lectures up on my channel as a free resource. Many homeschoolers enjoy them!

The London Conference of 1832 was an international conference convened to establish a stable government in Greece. Negotiations between the three Great Powers (Britain, France and Russia) resulted in the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece under a Bavarian Prince. The decisions were ratified in the Treaty of Constantinople later that year. There wasn't any Greek political entity up to the 1800's when Britain, France, and Russia decided to establish an artifical ethno-state ruled by a German Dynasty to drain Ottoman influence, the previous two millennia of "Greece's history" were spent under continuous Roman-Turkish yoke

So in short they moved to Greece

@Knowledgia, here you tell us about what the people in Anatolia did when their new rulers in a far away Byzantium were Muslim Turks instead of Christian Romans. Now we NEED you to tell us what happened with the people not only in Anatolia, but in the whole Roman Empire when a single person, the emperor in the far far away city of Rome decided that everybody had to be Christian. What the millions of polytheists did then?

Anyone here please tell me how to become so successful that you don't have to worry about anything else!!! 💯😢

There are two blue books called Bryce Report by James Bryce, which the British manipulated the world public opinion in a biased way during the first world war. The first of these is called "Committee on Alleged German Outrages". It contains stories of fabricated massacre torture and genocide by the Germans while they were in Belgium. Today this book is accepted to be a wartime fabrication of British propaganda. The name of the second book is "The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire". The so-called Armenian genocide is mainly based on this biased wartime propaganda work. Those who accept that the first book is a fabrication claim that the second book is real. They could not usurp Turkish lands with weapons. But they inflicted 100 years of hatred on the head of the New Turkish Republic. Today, the Republic of Turkey continues to struggle with a fabricated propaganda piece written in 1916. While Turks want historians to solve this problems, western politicians want to chew like gum this problem in their mouths. Turkey has made all the archives of the Ottoman Empire publicly accessible since years, but Armenia is afraid to open its archives.

Those are historic Christian lands, just like Spain always was.

Anatolia will remain the largest gaping wound in the Western world, in Europe, Greece, and the Christian world The Holy Bible in the New Testament takes us through four major regions that witness the birth of Christianity: the Levant, Anatolia, the Balkans, and Italy. Two of them were lost If the loss of the Levant is a natural thing, because it is an eastern land inhabited by Semites, but Anatolia continued for 2000 years as a Greek European land. In the context of the war between East and West Between Iran and Greece The Turks were able to resolve that war through the Turkification and Islamization of Anatolia The Balkans became mostly Slavic There is nothing left of Greek civilization except the region of the Aegean Islands

Just like anything else throughout the history, what happened to Jews from their mother land over 2000 years ago and also from Spain back in year 1500. What ever happened to all those Christian’s in the Middle East, what ever happened to native Americans ( Indians) throughout the south and North America?

What happened to the Muslim majority of Spain? 😮

A Templar knight who fought in the Seventh Crusade lamented: Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.

The simplest answer is that most had converted to Islam over the course of centuries while some left and settled in Greece and Eastern Europe. The remaining ones chose to stay behind and accept their new Turkic Muslim overlords. Many had gone through Turkification where they embraced Turkic language and culture while retaining their Christian faith. The Turkish speaking Christians of Turkey are most likely descended from the original Christian population of Anatolia and perhaps Turkic Christians.

Interestingly the Iberian peninsula was at one time a majority Muslim region

Bad things man.

Y not mention massacre of the Greeks and Armenians?

Make the video on Indian empires of history like mauryan empire

8:24 this is incorrect. The official name of the city was Constantinople until 1930.

Bosnia didn't wage large scale war against Ottomans. War was waged by Herzegovina's Serbs but it was very short because great powers supported muslim Ottomans. So Bosnia was occupied by Austro-Hungarian Empire, only to be liberated by Serbia in 1918 after WWI.

8:25, they are only duty bound to allow them to stay and have commerce IF they pay the dhimmis tax. Dont forget that tid bit.

The video is great but you could have told how much armenian, assyrian and greek the turks killed, when you see it mentionned like that it doesn't seems like millions died

Big ups to Turks, they did the most prosperous demographic engineering of the 20th century traded Greek and Armenians Christians in favor of Muslim Albanians, Bosniaks, Tatars, Circassians, etc.
