I stopped watching after 7mins. So many mistakes, Narses conquered all of Italy. The Lombards waited until his death to invade Italy. The Byzantine empire retained control of the main cities, such as Rome and Ravenna for two centuries. They controlled south of Italy and Sicily for even longer than that.
@@Kevin-xk3me No, but I've read/listened enough to know he's wrong. The History of Byzantium podcast is a much better alternative. If you prefer a book, then the best book is The New Roman empire: A history of Byzantium by Anthony Kaldellis.
The many comments about mistakes are well deserved. Lets make this a constructive one; Most of the mistakes came in things fairly unrelated to map, mapping and territorial changes. While in important conquests you once literally said "they conquered some territory in Georgia (or Armenia)". If I were you I would focus on events that led to map colors dancing around, and than be much more specific about territories and what the changes meant within historical context. It would reduce your scope for research and also margin for errors. General histories in broad strokes like this have been told and told again and again so many times, and by people with better command of history than you are showing at the moment. In that segment you brought nothing really, except for some funny mistakes. The map looks beautiful, you know your way around it, mapping is your obvious strong point. Play to your strengths and use historiography only as much as you need it to bring maps to life. It will be more original, creative and probably easier for you. And for us.
“The Byzantine empire was clearly, despite its multinational dimension, a Greek empire while its neighbours considered it so, and whose unity was based on the power of authority, in the dominance of Orthodoxy and the use of Greek as the official language”. Sylvain Gouguenheim, “La gloire des Grecs”, 2017, p. 73
One of the most thrilling historical novels regarding the Greek Byzantine Empire during the last Siege of Constantinople, is “The Dark Angel” (original title Johannes Angelos), of prominent Finnish writer, Mika Waltari. Truly epic.
You are aware that they never called themselves "Byzantine Empire", are you not. That was a German creation as they wanted to be the successors to Rome not the Muslims.
Byzantium took on the name of Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις, romanized: Kōnstantinoupolis; "city of Constantine") after its refoundation under Roman emperor Constantine I, who transferred the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium in 330 and designated his new capital officially as Nova Roma (Νέα Ῥώμη) ' ...

Khosrow II declared war on the Romans seven years before Heraclius came to power. Because Phocas rebel against Maurice and murdered Maurice and his family. Khosrow II a couple aspects to look at. One Maurice helped Khorsow II obtain his thorn in the past. Khorsow II may have really felt to avenged Maurice ot used it as a pretext to invade Roman territory. Cool maps.
"Army become mainly mercenary and consisting mainly of foreigners"...that is not truth.Majority of regular army was still from Roman born recruits and since Maurice there was even intentional state drive to prefer natives over foreigners and mercenaries.
Ottomans were never an EMirate but a Beylik. Other than that it is a nice video. But you also skipped some important battles and states. Like battle of Levounion and the state of Tzachas. They are very interesting and changed a lot of things.

While the Byzantine Empire is indeed a continuation of the Roman Empire and thought of themselves as the last Romans the term "Byzantine Empire" is still correct and is commonly used by historians to distinguish the medieval age from the classical age. Another term for the Byzantine Empire would be "The Kingdom of Greeks" or the "Greek Empire" which was commonly used by medieval people outside of the Byzantine Empire back in the days.
Hey dude, it was not Persians who conducted a genocide of Christians in Jerusalem. It was some local Persian allies who betrayed the Roman Christians. The same people still live there and they're still doing genocides.
Many genetically different people speak Turkish with different dialects where some do not even understand each other. Same goes with Saljucts. They spoke Turkish but they can not be called Saljuc TURKS. There is no Turkish nation the same as there is no Iranian nation. Iran and Turkey are the name of countries were genetically different people live in them. Saljucs lived in Iran and were Iranians.but they were not Persians but Uyghurs. Under their influence Turkish language spread from east to all across present day Turkey.
Guys I know it’s annoying but Byzantine = Eastern Rome after the fall of the western empire ok . Until that changes cross the board try to live with it for your own joy lol

Greats maps but the information is incorrect in quite a few places may be worth re releasing with the corrections but there is potential here.
There are so many inaccuracies in this video I don't know where to begin.

Watching this is like playing the boardgame Mare Nostrum.
History of The Eastern Roman Empire is the Proper correct name of the Empire.

If you spend as much time on the visuals as on your research your videos would have ben amazing and posibly generate milion of views.
The roman empire was split in 330 AD but the de facto split was in 395 AD
You didn't mention the fall of the despotate of Epirus and the empire of Trebizond at all
Eastern Roman* not the "successor" the continuation.
I really don't have time for your BS. Your narrative is full of inaccuracies.
thats emperor leo not theodosius 0:16
Very bad video today.
Poor research that just scratches the surfaces and in many instances is just outright wrong.
The despotate of the Morea fell in 1460 and not 1446 AD
bruh literally distinguished himself as a weak ruler by showing a picture of Leo I as Theodosius 1
3:22-3:27 He said 452AD but the chart highlighted 542AD
That’s funny
Not even half of its history was shown here
Hope your channel blows up bro keep it up with this content! Top quality
Top quality? Really? This video is very bad, a lot of inaccuracies and many things are just incorrect.
Great content but please leave out the background music.
So many inaccuracies, and there was never a “Byzantine” Empire. They were the Roman Empire until 1453.

To say there was never a Byzantium empire is incredibly ignorant
@@WaysOfTheJedis explain go on
@@WaysOfTheJedis the state was never called the Byzantine empire that’s the point. They were the Roman Empire that’s the point.
I would love to see a video about the greek revolution. Greek here!!

Khorsow II may have really felt to avenged Maurice ot used it as a pretext to invade Roman territory.
Cool maps.
Bro I'm so tired of people calling it Byzantine Empire. These people were romans. Great visuals tho.
Yet , it was eastern roman empire which had emperors of various ethnic background, it was a huge mess and they were the allies with tribes .

A lot of mistakes and ommisions, I know you can't compress all Bizantine history in 30 min. but it was a lacking video anyway
Romans . Byzant was just a small town.
if you use constantinople instead of istanbul, then you cant use the name of byzantine empire. learn some history.
Wtf lol Constantinople was named by Constantine the great, who Justinian looked up to.. I suggest you do some history lol
Byzantium took on the name of Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις, romanized: Kōnstantinoupolis; "city of Constantine") after its refoundation under Roman emperor Constantine I, who transferred the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium in 330 and designated his new capital officially as Nova Roma (Νέα Ῥώμη) ' ... you idiot!
