Fun fact. The tsarist Russia tried to revive the Byzantine empire and almost succeeded multiple times, to a point when they were outside the walls of Istanbul, capital of the ottoman empire. But every time, either the french or brits saved the ottomans.
From what little I know on the subject, other historian RUclipsrs can do it justice, the best attempt was under Catherine the Great. The British Empire and the French were busy fighting each other during the American Revolution, 1774-1789. The attempt failed and the more populous ideas of nationalism and religion were adopted during the chaotic French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The idea of reviving old imperial dynasties died in the Year of Revolutions in 1848, with populism/nationalist fervor taking root across Europe. When Catherine the Great schemed and planned with the Austrian Empire to revive Byzantium. The Balkans, Asia Minor, the Levant, and Egypt were under Ottoman Imperial rule for about 200 years. In addition, the Ottoman Empire was no pushover, as they had the largest standing army in Europe. The Russian Imperial was successful on both land and sea, eventually annexing the Crimea Tartars, annexing Moldova, and liberating Romania. The Austrians were unsuccessful in the Balkans and fared worse in their battles against the Ottomans.
Actually the fall of constantinopel mark the new beginning to the new era, from the dark age to renaissance.. and if you ask muslims, it was the best moment of history that makes the prophecy of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) become true..
Guys when it’s about history better to judge according to real facts and not with emotions ( prophesies, religion etc). And the fact is that at 29th May 1453, the greatest city of late antiquity and the medieval times, the capital of one of the greatest civilization who ever existed, fell. Constantinople was the savior of western world for more than a millennium ( stoping the scourge of Islam, East nations, Asian nomads and many more). It was a symbol of Christianity and Roman/Greek/European culture. Western Cristian nations had enough time to develop economically, culturally and militarily and being able to stand by themselves by 15th century because of what the Byzantine Empire had done all the previous centuries (including of keeping alive a lot of the knowledge of the ancient world - that’s why the renaissance started in Italy after the fall by Greek and Italian people who had escape the atrocities of the Ottomans). Please read history from worldwide sources and not from based school books etc
Byzantium was like a wall between the Christian world and the Muslim world and when the great city of constantinople fell the order of two worlds fell with it and caused future problems, future deaths and Religious tensions

He could not have won, he was outnumbered 10-1, or even worse, depending on the sources you consult. Mehmed's victory wasn't a great achievement, since taking a weakened, starving, ruined city with only a few thousand defenders isn't hard, especially when you have enourmous cannons and ten or more times the numbers.

So there are no people to “liberate” only a pice of land that once some other people used to live. I’d even make the same argument about Native Americans that used to live in US. It would be stupid to suggest that they should kick out all the colonizers and make their own country because there are almost no people left to liberate and their culture is not in an imminent danger savere enough to require active resistance. Even for Palestine, if Israel succeeds at ethnically cleansing all the Palestinians out of Gaza.

I cannot say that the politicians in our country are tolerant towards historical buildings. They destroyed many Turks, babuls or works of art in order to gain votes and called it "restoration"
You are wrong. Türkiye renovates most of the things from Eastern Roman Empire, also settle them permanantly in museums. But you know, Catholics looted %70 of beauties in Constantinapole.
Ottomans have also respected him. Mehmed the Conquerer ordered his men to let the emperor have a proper burial befitting a monarch. When Istanbul was in danger to fall to the Triple Entente in WWI, The Young Turks wanted to carry the capitol to Bursa province in Anatolia. Hearing this, overthrown Sultan Abdulhamid II in home prison said to his rival The Young Turks that "Emperor Constantine died for this city instead of escaping. Are we less brave than him? Give me a rifle and I'll fight the enemy. I'm not going anywhere." Ottomans Sultans' insisting of not carrying the capitol to Anatolia in and after WWI let Turks to keep Istanbul.
Wow i wonder how many tines during a last stand. A leader or commander had the opportunity to escape. But instead decided to fight to the bitter end and die alongside their soldiers.
As a Muslim who studies history, I tell you in this scene he is a honorable and respectable king, in another life they would have been friends, fate decreed otherwise.
Even the Ottomans respected him in the end. And Shame on the rest of Europe. The Hungarian Empire was on par with the Ottomans so were the French; they didn't left a finger to help him.

Like true Serb,his last name was Dragas,his family were from holy Nemanjic's.
He was the last Byzantine Emperor. (2nd Roman Empire) He wasn't the last Roman Emperor. That honor belongs to Mehmed VI. The last Roman Emperor. 🇹🇷
@@khalidshubbar6911There was no such thing called "byzantine". The people considered themselves Romans so did he. Thus, he was indeed the last Roman emperor
@khalidshubbar6911 what is bro talking about?💀
Fun fact. The tsarist Russia tried to revive the Byzantine empire and almost succeeded multiple times, to a point when they were outside the walls of Istanbul, capital of the ottoman empire. But every time, either the french or brits saved the ottomans.
Where did you learn this?
Considering where the Last Princess went, makes sense. The Brits and French never liked Russian competition.
Fake history lmao Russian never help Byzantine empire
From what little I know on the subject, other historian RUclipsrs can do it justice, the best attempt was under Catherine the Great. The British Empire and the French were busy fighting each other during the American Revolution, 1774-1789. The attempt failed and the more populous ideas of nationalism and religion were adopted during the chaotic French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The idea of reviving old imperial dynasties died in the Year of Revolutions in 1848, with populism/nationalist fervor taking root across Europe.
When Catherine the Great schemed and planned with the Austrian Empire to revive Byzantium. The Balkans, Asia Minor, the Levant, and Egypt were under Ottoman Imperial rule for about 200 years.
In addition, the Ottoman Empire was no pushover, as they had the largest standing army in Europe. The Russian Imperial was successful on both land and sea, eventually annexing the Crimea Tartars, annexing Moldova, and liberating Romania. The Austrians were unsuccessful in the Balkans and fared worse in their battles against the Ottomans.
Sort of. Catherine wanted to make a Greek Empire not Roman Empire
Fall of Constantinople, one of the darkest pages in Worldwide history
Depends on who you ask, as with all history in regards of warfare.
No best victory
Actually the fall of constantinopel mark the new beginning to the new era, from the dark age to renaissance.. and if you ask muslims, it was the best moment of history that makes the prophecy of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) become true..
Brightest. Alhamdulillah
Guys when it’s about history better to judge according to real facts and not with emotions ( prophesies, religion etc). And the fact is that at 29th May 1453, the greatest city of late antiquity and the medieval times, the capital of one of the greatest civilization who ever existed, fell. Constantinople was the savior of western world for more than a millennium ( stoping the scourge of Islam, East nations, Asian nomads and many more). It was a symbol of Christianity and Roman/Greek/European culture. Western Cristian nations had enough time to develop economically, culturally and militarily and being able to stand by themselves by 15th century because of what the Byzantine Empire had done all the previous centuries (including of keeping alive a lot of the knowledge of the ancient world - that’s why the renaissance started in Italy after the fall by Greek and Italian people who had escape the atrocities of the Ottomans). Please read history from worldwide sources and not from based school books etc

Thank you for "help" in defending the city catholics . Really appreciate
So ironic but true. Constantinople fell becuase it had already been thoroughly weakened before by the crusaders. The ottomans were the final nail, in a coffin which had already been nailed multiple times before
How ottoman easily defeated Constantinople but easily wipe out by great Britain without any efforts.

I'm a Muslim and even though he was defeated by us we still respect him for not surrendering and fighting till his last breath ❤
He could not have won, he was outnumbered 10-1, or even worse, depending on the sources you consult. Mehmed's victory wasn't a great achievement, since taking a weakened, starving, ruined city with only a few thousand defenders isn't hard, especially when you have enourmous cannons and ten or more times the numbers. Saying this was a great victory would be like saying that a hundred thousand men versus ten thousand is a fair fight.

Now both empires disappeared left nothing but thousand years of history behind.
@@andanandan6061Yeah.... I'm gonna go with the latter. Religion is good excuse for expansion after all....
@@andanandan6061The real reason was that the Byzantines were threatening to release Mehmeds brother back into Ottoman territory. So mehmed wanted to kill two birds with one stone. The day after the city fell, he had his brother executed.
I am muslim and I like constantinexi seeing his valor, his valor was accepted with honor by Mehmed II.

@@nico.....15151 To be fair, if innocent people weren’t dying and suffering in the region, I couldn’t cared lass about which flag if flying up Israel or Palestine doesn’t matter to me, only the people.
I’m not suggesting that when Turks came, they didn’t cause any suffering but right now, all the people who used to live in Anatolia beforehand either got absorbed into the Turkish population or disappeared. So there are no people to “liberate” only a pice of land that once some other people used to live.
I’d even make the same argument about Native Americans that used to live in US. It would be stupid to suggest that they should kick out all the colonizers and make their own country because there are almost no people left to liberate and their culture is not in an imminent danger savere enough to require active resistance.
Even for Palestine, if Israel succeeds at ethnically cleansing all the Palestinians out of Gaza. There would be no point in fighting after everyone with the memory of the place where they once used to live is gone.
No matter you support which side of history but the point is that he was a great king.
Now who the hell backs away and leaves when your king said all of that? That dude is gonna fight now and he'll die as well. A man's romance.

Was in Istanbul recently and it was a shame to know that the city fell and everything went into disrepair. Theodosians walls have toppled in many sections however many parts remain completely intact and I wish I could’ve climbed them but the part I was at was under restoration
I cannot say that the politicians in our country are tolerant towards historical buildings. They destroyed many Turks, babuls or works of art in order to gain votes and called it "restoration"
You spelled Constantinople wrong!
You are wrong. Türkiye renovates most of the things from Eastern Roman Empire, also settle them permanantly in museums.
But you know, Catholics looted %70 of beauties in Constantinapole.
This is also one of the reasons why we Turks respect him even if he was our enemy
"I won't cry for you"
Yes...Yes I am...
Honorable King! “Even an honorable enemy is commendable” That’s what we say in Turkish. He tried his best for sure.
Ottomans have also respected him.
Mehmed the Conquerer ordered his men to let the emperor have a proper burial befitting a monarch.
When Istanbul was in danger to fall to the Triple Entente in WWI, The Young Turks wanted to carry the capitol to Bursa province in Anatolia. Hearing this, overthrown Sultan Abdulhamid II in home prison said to his rival The Young Turks that "Emperor Constantine died for this city instead of escaping. Are we less brave than him? Give me a rifle and I'll fight the enemy. I'm not going anywhere."
Ottomans Sultans' insisting of not carrying the capitol to Anatolia in and after WWI let Turks to keep Istanbul.
