Can someone please explain to me why this stretch of land is so important? Like geographically, strategically, spiritually? Short hand answers only. Asking for a friend.
Man, when in school I thought the Middle Ages were just crusades and knights in shining armor. Thanks for this lecture on (contemporary sounding) intrigue, spying, "diplomacy" and straight out war (but not for the stated purpose) !
Maybe it's because the Greek legacy was copied and stolen by the Romans. Roman culture was basically a counterfeit version of Greek culture. Putin is going to remind you soon, of all the mistakes your ancestors made.
I want to stress this enough, the sack of Constantinople is possibly likely in history but it's not a done deal. Just a few decades ago, the Empire is still Europe's number 1 economic, military and cultural power. Even in 1453 when the Turks conquered the city, they have to use the assemble the most powerful army seen in Europe since the days of imperial Rome to capture it when the city is just inhabited by less than 50K people and is basically a collection of villages! It's just so happen that the crusaders where 1. benefited from the strong Ventian navy 2. extremely incompetent Byzantine leadership 3. a huge amount of luck

the fourth crusade’s sack of constantinople has to be one of the most perfect examples of situational irony
