I appreciate all the Support 😄
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.
constantinople was conquered. She didn't fall.

Outnumbered 12:1, surrounded, and still pulled off a 3.6 KD. That’s some solid defense.
The Turkish army was not 130,000 people, but 60-80,000 people. In addition, there were 11,000 professional soldiers in the Roman army as well as 30,000 militia.
In 1453, the Ottoman Empire was not yet a great state. It is impossible to have 130,000 soldiers. Modern sources say that the Turkish army numbered 60,000-80,000 people, while the Roman army numbered 40,000 people, including 10,000 professionals and 30,000 militia.
It's quite reasonable that at that time The Conqueror was able to gather 250,000 troops... Try reading history again, because not all of the composition of the besiegers were professional soldiers.
There are non-regular soldiers such as Bashi Bazouk and Azab. There are also regular soldiers such as Sipahi. And as far as I know, a small part of the composition of this army was only the elite troops, the Janissary infantry...
Even those who use armor are only around 60,000...
250 000 ?!?!?=! are u completly insane?

You cannot underestimate the gravity of this event. The end of a empire, of 1,500 years of age, finally comes to a close. It is a unfortunate reality, that, coming to this, they weren’t recognized as rome, yet replaced by obscure emperor from Germany. The breath of the last soldier would be the last recorded breath of the Roman Empire. It’s still crazy how, constantinople was attacked two times during the Macedonian Dynasty. It's a sad reality that, out of all the emperors of the history of the Western Roman Empire, only a few of them were great, and one of the few greats, had the worst event in history. He did everything to save the empire, from aligning himself with the Catholic Church which the civilians did not like, to even giving gifts to the Ottomans. If Constantine the XI was in a better era, say after Justinian the Great had died, Byzantium would have lasted longer. Even against all odds, in Constantinople, he never surrendered. None of his men did. Even when given the opportunity to retreat, he stayed with his empire. With the last of his men, he charged into battle, never to be seen again. This being overshadowed by amateur historians is sad, it is a event that needs to be learned for all ages. The thing is, the Eastern Roman Empire survived longer than the Ottomans.
*"If my city falls, I fall with it."*

Happy 29 may 🎉
After Justinian's death it was even worse than this..
The constant Avar, Slav, Persian raids..
The Slavs got to Morea barely sparing Epirus and getting to Adrianople, with Salonika unable to defend itself as it was encircled by the Slavs (Salonika was besieged twice during the Slavic migrations!)
The Slavs having been allies of the Turk Avars.. It could not be that easy! The Avars were on the Pannonian Plain and still standing strong only aiding the Slavs, meaning that if the Byzantines were to attack them, they would have to go through the Slavs
And lets not forget the Persians, who at this point would dominate Anatolia, and alone were a bit stronger than the Byzantines
Contrary to the Rome, the Ottoman dynasty was more stable and long-lasting.
@@AnatolianHittite More stable, yes. But longer lasting? No.

The river here with the 3 bridges crossing it is the Golden Horn. The Romans had a massive chain across the mouth of it, and ships defending it loaded with "Greek Fire", a highly flammable liquid who's secret ingredients are lost to time (but it was probably something like gasoline or napalm). This is a major inspiration for the siege of Kings Landing in Game of Thrones, but sadly in the real thing, the Lannisters and Tyrells did not show up the save the day.
The Ottomans ended up breaking into the Golden Horn only by dragging their fleet over land to get around the chain.
It's not a river; it's an inlet of the sea.
the attackers had cannons and a mega cannon called basilica they used to destroy the wall and breach into the city and a massive fleet on the sea preventing anybody from coming to help
The Final Assault:
Despite the valiant defense, the Ottomans managed to breach the city's walls on May 29, 1453. The decisive moment came when Ottoman forces successfully rolled their ships overland to bypass the chain barrier in the Golden Horn, a crucial waterway protecting the city.
they took the boats on land and rolled them on logs across the land back into the water to avoid the incendiaries
The golden horn is a gulf not a river
Imagine a turkish fleet moving on land if im a byzantine soldier idk if i should laugh or be scared

Where the byzantines where before death was ofc istanbul, but the ottomans expanded istanbul, now the old Istanbul is a city district of Istanbul called „Fatih“
I'm still surprised how the Bryantines existed for around 12 centuries... They went to basically having Eastern Europe, into only owning parts of Turkey, Constantinople, Southern Greece, and other parts.
In 1453, the Ottoman Empire was not yet a great state. It is impossible to have 130,000 soldiers. Modern sources say that the Turkish army numbered 60,000-80,000 people, while the Roman army numbered 40,000 people, including 10,000 professionals and 30,000 militia.
we can't really know we will only know if someone makes a time machine and travels to those times
"In the year of the siege of the city by the Turks (1453), the last emperor counted all the men in Constantinople capable of holding weapons. There were 4,983 Greeks and 2,000 foreigners. Thus, the entire population hardly exceeded 35 thousand people."
How could they have 30 thousand militia, with a city population of 35 thousand people?

I don't want to make anyone mad, just for the people who say these Romans weren't Greek. The people of Eastern called themselves Romans, but that didn't mean they were Italians. Many civilisation of the empire called themselves Romans before the empire splitting. The Eastern Romans were Armenians, Bulgarians, Slavs, but mostly Greeks. Their culture, language etc. was Greek so basically they were Greeks too. Indeed there were Romans from the original Roman empire but after the creation of Western and Eastern empire most of them stayed in the Western.
Roman is a culture instead of a race. Romans got assimilated into what we call Italians today and at this point Italians aren't even Romans because the culture is very different. It would be fair for Greeks to call themselves Romans as they saw themselves as one, but so did the Turks at the time.

There were never above 7.000 Roman (and not Byzantine) soldiers . They were just 7.000. When Mohamed entered the City, he asked: "Anybody here ?" He couldn't believe that just a few people stopped him for 7 weeks. It seems that Constantinople had a total population of 50.000 people at the time. And there were Turks, Genovese, Venezians etc among them. Women, elders and even kids helped every night were reconstructing the Wall , which was constantly bombed by the best cannons of that period.
It looks like the Ottomans lost way more soldiers than the Byzantines.
And they still won.

Although I see myself as a Turk, I respect both sides as a Turk and Greek from Trabzon. I believe that the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires are not respected as much as they should be.
I think it's cool that the Ottomans saw themselves as responsible successors of Roman people, and maintained the overall sanctity of the city. Luckily Mehmed was sane, otherwise religiously fanatic leaders like Timur tend to raze "kafir" influences.

@@nyraj_9971 They didn't maintain the sanctity of the city. Most historically buildings weren't maintained and were left to ruin. The more prominent ones, like the Hagia Sophia, were altered and all the mosaics plastered over. The Turks destroyed a lot of Roman cultural heritage. SAD>
@@Yes-qj4bi Syrians are Egyptians are clearly Non-peninsulan Arabs. So, Turks are "Anatolian Turks". Culture says everything.
Wrong numbers.
It was never a fall, nothing fell. It was a *conquest.*
Halkın inancına göre Türkler şehre girecek Çemberlitaş'ın olduğu mevkiye kadar gelecek ama gökten inen bir melek sıradan bir kişiye bir kılıç verip Türkleri hem İstanbul'dan hem de Anadolu'dan atacaklardı... ancak Türk askerleri çemberlitaş'ı geçtikten sonra Melek gelmeyince insanlar panik halinde Ayasofya'ya sığınmışlar ama Sultan onları affetmişti❤
How does your content seperate from mapsinanutshell? What's the difference? What's the reason to watch your content?

8.5k solders, 15 canons and 30k conscripts in byzantine army
The irony is the demand for Israel to return land but not the Turks.
That's just the world we live.
you can come and try it..!
@Turco-Napolitano you are correct. This is the problem with the argument "return the land to the natives." Who and what is a native? How far back in time do we go?
Somehow victimhood has become hereditary and is strictly based on race/color when it is convenient.
Yes, because Turks ARE the natives. It has been proven that they descend for the most part from the original inhabitants. The ottomans didn't want to exterminate the lands they conquered. Meanwhile, Israel Is actively genociding and replacing the palestinians
the irony of your comment is that we live in the peaceful age and yet the Israel still trying to do stuff that happen in the old days, meanwhile the Turks own the land now by right of conquest
@yourmajesty8540 how long does it take to have right of conquest?
MUSLIMS TURKİSH 100K VS 50K ROMA
Have you ever heard of a siege where the attacking force had less than the defending army?
"In the year of the siege of the city by the Turks (1453), the last emperor counted all the men in Constantinople capable of holding weapons. There were 4,983 Greeks and 2,000 foreigners. Thus, the entire population hardly exceeded 35 thousand people." Learn history, pls.
Song name?
You will come as lightning
I have read comments and there seems to be misconception. The Ottomans outnumbered however it was not won due to soldiers. The soldiers always failed and didn't really contribute much besides janissaries which were nowhere near main factors for the fall. The Byzantine Empire was already weakened, but the city's walls were formidable. What caused the fall was Mehmed's strategic placement of cannons and some of his military strategies especially the moving ships over land. The Ottoman navy couldn't breach the chain and enter the Golden Horn. Attacking the city head-on was difficult due to its strong walls. Mehmed moving the ships over land allowed the Ottomans to attack the city from the north, where the walls were lower and more vulnerable. RIP to all the soldiers that have died from both sides.
Imagine losing 40,000 troops against 10,000, who were outnumbered by 12 to 1
Fake numbers and a miserable effort to mitigate an ass ache that still exists for the 570 years
@@JamesSiriusRemus The Ottoman still can't siege a city. Just look at Vienna
@@Jarjarbinks708 Ahahaha 😀 so how many cities were besieged and conquered by the Ottomans until Vienna? Look at the map of Southeastern Europe. Don't worry you can visit Istanbul but you will always need a passport 😀
@@JamesSiriusRemus Cry more. The Turks can't win battles unless they have twice the men. Even then they have trouble.
@@JamesSiriusRemus can't siege a important city
As a greek i fell bad for byzantine empire
The tall man ruined the Turkish economy.
Uzun Man brought 10 million refugees into Turkey.
The tall man has not taken any precautions against earthquakes in 20 years. 50 thousand people died.
Instead of supporting production, the tall man invested in concrete projects.
The tall man ruined tourism.
But half of the people still support him. Can you tell me if I can be hopeful for the future?

@@efecal207 ask yourself why you have to erase the name and change it for a stupid version of it and you will see why
@Ru_maps I don't care whether you believe it or not, but there is no city called Constantinople on earth, but the city of Istanbul is currently one of the most tourist-attracting places in the world.
