@@maxopaladinos Anatolia was originally pagan, since both the Greek city-states and the Roman Empire were adherents of the Greek and Roman pantheons. I cry for al-Andalus not for a religious reason. and because during Muslim rule, prosperity and the development of science reigned in Andalusia, because the Andalusian rulers were very tolerant and wanted the development of science, medicine, physics, and mathematics. And the Spaniards, having captured Iberia, turned it into a prison where the Spanish Inquisition instilled fear everywhere. Also, the Spaniards brought only death and the Inquisition to America, nothing more. America had its own very prosperous and interesting civilization, and the Spaniards, having arrived there, immediately began the genocide of entire peoples. I am sure that if the Andalusians came to America, they would not capture and destroy their civilization, but would bring new technologies and new sciences to these places.

Actually, nothing to do with that. The fact that Turks maintained themselves in Anatolia, is rather a topic that shows lack of strategy from the Byzantine Empire.

it was just a series of mistakes over time that later grew too big of a problem for each successive emperor to handle. Plus it didn't help that the Roman political system was too prone to instability, civil wars, and rebellions. Like yea, the imperial system allowed a very good emperor to accomplish alot but a bad emperor _cough Angeloi_ could reverse alot of the previous emperors' accomplishments. The first mistake was neglecting the Theme system and focusing on a professional standing army (Tagmata) which were much more expensive compared to the Theme system because it was also made up of mercenaries. At least with the Theme system, the Romans could muster almost 100K soldiers at once which is insane when you remember that 20K soldiers was massive for armies during that time. Ofc, the downside with the Theme system was you didn't get much offensive power which is likely where the Tagmata would've been used and the Thematic armies weren't as loyal as the Tagmata (if you had the money). Problem is, how do you pay for a large professional army if you're losing land + population to tax? The emperors probably knew this issue but luck wasn't on their side.
Very impressive video given your resources, bravo 👏 That said I do have to say this video is filled with errors in regards to the order of territory being lost or gained and what year they were lost/claimed. For example at the start of the Vid the Empire shouldn’t have Kar and it’s surroundings. it was surrendered to the Empire by its Armenian Prince in 1064 who fled west following the lost of Byzantine Ani and given to Georgia in 1075 alongside Tao and Vanand. Romanos took the Major Syrian town of Manbij(Hierapolis) in 1068 from Seljuk Aleppo which was then lost to the Seljuks in 1075. I recommend Kaldellis’s Streams of Gold Rivers of Blood for the initial lost of Asia Minor to the Turks. For afterwards, the Cambridge history of Byzantium and Treadgold’s A history of the Byzantine State and Society would be good guidelines for mapping out Anatolia.

The map has errors, but I would especially like to note the omission of Thebasion, conquered from the Byzantine Akrites of Nicaea by Ertugrul in 1231, which would become Sögüt, the first Ottoman possession after their migration towards the Byzantine border, so something of 'important
Yes, it's a big oversight on my part, now I haven't included the city on the map but I don't show it being conquered, that's stupid because it's really an important oversight. I will add it in the description thank you.
I find it funny how Germanic barbarians (English, Germans, Scandinavians) whose ancestors have sacked Western-Rome cry over the ancestors of the Turks who have sacked Eastern-Rome.
As you know, my friend, when Eastern Rome asked for help from Europe against the Turks, the Europeans who supposedly came to help plundered Istanbul and other Byzantine cities, and most of the Byzantines fled into Europe. And the Turks' job became even easier. But today those Europeans call the Turks plundering barbarians and invaders. Unfortunately, these are historical facts that are deliberately ignored and, as Napoleon said, "history is a series of agreed-upon lies." I mean, wars were fought for plunder anyway, but they didn't leave much for the Turks to plunder. So calling us "plunderers" is a great example of hypocrisy.

Separate Comment to say Modern Orthodox Church flag Bad. The 2 headed eagle wasn’t even adopted as the Dynastic imperial symbol until the reign of Andronikos II Palaiologos. It of course also did not use the yellow Orthodox church flag but the Gold Single headed Eagle infront of the red background under Michael and then switched to the double headed eagle under his son Andronikos. It would make more sense to begin with to use the 4 B Tetragrammatic cross as it’s the first and only “State Flag” the Byzantines used, also adopted by Andronikos II. Of course also inaccurate for the first 200 years of the vid but I understand you’re just using stock images which they have plenty of. Not the biggest deal but it gives the video the presentation of “trash food Byzantine vid ” which is a rampant problem on Byzantine vids where Flags, clothing, armor and Sigils are rampantly inaccurate as 6th century Flags are used with 13th century armor.
The flag is just there for decoration. I using a stock image but i could have not, i know how to make such image, the final one (5:31) is from me for exemple.
After the Seljuks gained control of inner Anatolia Turks began to migrate into the majority eastern Roman region, after 1st crusade Alexis’s agreed to take a lot of Greeks from center Anatolia and resettled them on coasts therefore making the center region Turkish the rest is history
@@BGDNMMI Central Anatolia has been devastated and pillaged, there are migrations towards the coasts. These Greek populations remained on the coasts of Anatolia until 1914-23 where they were either massacred, exchanged, converted to Islam or hidden. Today there are 300,000 Pontic Greeks converted to Islam and who speak Turkish in public in Anatolia and around ten thousand in the Assos region, I invite you to watch this video from King and General which explains with much more detail of this blurry moment: ruclips.net/video/JBgq1taoUsY/видео.htmlsi=rncHfhtWTfene_g3
@@Ulrich3yes and no, not all Greek populations fled, as we see with the Cappadocian Greeks in Eastern Anatolia and smaller populations in Lycaonia and Phrygia that were exchanged as late as the early 20 th century. Not only that, most Anatolian Turks, especially those in western Turkey have little Turkic dna, showing that they themselves descend from Greek converts and it's a similar story in the Balkans.
After Byzantines are kicked out of Anatolia, large portions of Greeks either flee or get killed. They only form a majority in Pontus and some parts of Eastern Anatolia at this point. Over the centuries of Ottoman rule, the land becomes slowly more Turkified. Eventually, during WWII, Ottoman leadership decides all Christian minorities are traitors so they begin the Armenian and Greek genocides. Greece then loses the Asia Minor disaster, resulting in the deportation of the last million and a half Greeks left in Anatolia.
Turks were about the lose whole Anatolia around end of 12.th century. There were ravelaries between Turkish Beyliks and East Roman Empire was so strong at that time. But in battle of Myriokephalon (1176), Kilij Arslan saved Anatolia.
Saved ?lol what a joke the turks were later defeated by the byzantines again had the crusade of 1204, not taken place things for anatolia would have been different
I am currently sitting on Flaviapolis, the legacy of Rome. I am proud of this legacy that Rome and the Ottomans gave me. At the same time, as a Turk, I send my greetings to everyone.
Byzantium for Greeks its so important as Soviet Union for Russia, Turkic tribes came from Mongolia and China as invaders but they were not the only problem, Turks found a weakened empire that fought with almost every neighbor nation, the 4th crusade was a big mistake, the heresy of the west wanted the only true christian empire destroyed, but karma is a bitch and Orthodoxy stands proud, the same over the centuries
The rich, diverse and fascinating empire of Byzantium/Asia Minor was finally lost to dreary, monochrome Islam by 1453 AD. However, the amazing endurance of the East Romans (along with the Frankish victory at Tours in 732 AD) shielded Europe from Islamic conquest for so many vital centuries. Some day this great Christian empire may even be revived, perhaps when Islamic culture finally collapses in Anatolia.
How sad for you. You have nothing but hopes and even more hopes. So-called new Byzantine Empire will be nothing but a huge balloon. Because classic Greek mindset and culture is full of siesta, chaos and internal disorder. We Turks have nation-army warrior culture. We have asian style self sacrifition mindset for the nation. We have a huge arm industry. We dont live with western payouts like Greece and unlike Greeks and other Europeans we still dont lose our religious and national values. That is why we Turks will take back Balkans and you will bow down to us like how your ancestors bow down to our ancestors.

You racist who hates Islam and Muslims, read history well and read about the virtue of Islam and Muslims in establishing modern sciences and about the golden age of Islam when Europe was immersed in the mire of ignorance and backwardness. All modern sciences are based on Muslim scholars in medicine, Ibn Sina, who founded the first pharmacy in history, and Al-Khwarizmi, who invented science. Algebra and the invention of zero. Did you know that the numbers used in the West are called Arabic numerals because the Arabs were the ones who invented them? Did you also know that the science of algorithms took its name from the Muslim scientist Al-Khwarizmi, the father of modern mathematics? Read about the golden age of Andalusia in the Middle Ages when the Iberian Peninsula was under the rule of Muslims, and the rest of Europe was living in the ages of darkness, ignorance, and backwardness. When the Europeans transferred Arabic science to their languages, they attributed it to themselves, stealing it from the Arabs and Muslims. Next time, read about the history of Islam in a neutral manner and not from a racist, condescending point of view. As for Turkish Istanbul, it will remain an Islamic land until Forever and until the end of the world. According to the Roman Empire, it is gone forever and will never return ☪️💪❤️🔥🇩🇿🙏
@@Samstarlight2025 To clarify: Islamic knowledge, and the golden age of Islam was made through the translation of ancient Greek texts as well as the rediscovery of their works, the Byzantines used this knowledge in order to to negotiate with scholars and sultants from the Middle East during the Middle Ages, the period to which you are referring and the Islamic Golden Age is therefore based on this ancient Greek knowledge, the European Golden Age will take place at the end 1400 when Byzantine scholars fled Constantinople with their knowledge towards the large Italian cities giving rise to the "Renaissance". +The original comment is not racist it is ethnocentric.

We have a huge arm industry. We dont live with western payouts like Greece and unlike Greeks and other Europeans we still dont lose our religious and national values. That is why we Turks will take back Balkans and you will bow down to us like how your ancestors bow down to our ancestors.
إقراء تاريخ الأندالس و تاريخ الخلافة العباسية والعصر الذهبي للإسلام حيث إزدهارت العلوم والمعارف لقرون في أساس كل العلوم الحديثة يعود الفاضل الأطبر في تأسيسها الى المسلمين كإبن سينا والخواريزمي وغيرها لولا افضل الإسلام والمسلمين في نهوض بالعلم لا كانت أنت اليوم لا تزال تعيش عصور الظلام و الجهل في أوروبا أيها الجاهل المتخلف الطابع الحاقد على الإسلام الإسلام سوف يسود العالم ولو كاره الكافرون
You racist who hates Islam and Muslims, read history well and read about the virtue of Islam and Muslims in establishing modern sciences and about the golden age of Islam when Europe was immersed in the mire of ignorance and backwardness. All modern sciences are based on Muslim scholars in medicine, Ibn Sina, who founded the first pharmacy in history, and Al-Khwarizmi, who invented science. Algebra and the invention of zero. Did you know that the numbers used in the West are called Arabic numerals because the Arabs were the ones who invented them? Did you also know that the science of algorithms took its name from the Muslim scientist Al-Khwarizmi, the father of modern mathematics? Read about the golden age of Andalusia in the Middle Ages when the Iberian Peninsula was under the rule of Muslims, and the rest of Europe was living in the ages of darkness, ignorance, and backwardness. When the Europeans transferred Arabic science to their languages, they attributed it to themselves, stealing it from the Arabs and Muslims. Next time, read about the history of Islam in a neutral manner and not from a racist, condescending point of view. As for Turkish Istanbul, it will remain an Islamic land until Forever and until the end of the world. According to the Roman Empire, it is gone forever and will never return ☪️💪❤️🔥🇩🇿🙏
Exactly it’s much more of a culture than religion at this point and that too will fade away soon, yet Christianity isn’t doing any better anywhere lol
@@Samstarlight2025 To clarify: Islamic knowledge, and the golden age of Islam was made through the translation of ancient Greek texts as well as the rediscovery of their works, the Byzantines used this knowledge in order to to negotiate with scholars and sultants from the Middle East during the Middle Ages, the period to which you are referring and the Islamic Golden Age is therefore based on this ancient Greek knowledge, the European Golden Age will take place at the end 1400 when Byzantine scholars fled Constantinople with their knowledge towards the large Italian cities giving rise to the "Renaissance".
+The original comment is not racist it is ethnocentric.
The greek versión of the apocalypse
If you combined tge 5 strongest armies of the west including cartaghe and the moors vs the strongest 5 eastern forces from 1k bc to the year 1750 who would win ?
Rome
Holy Roman Empire
Cartaghe
Macedon Army
Royal British Army
vs
Ming Dynasty
combined Shogunate
Mughal Empire
Ottoman Empire
Mongol Golden Horde.
British Royal army top 5 strongest armies of the West 1750? Laughable, it was either France for its manpower and quality or Prussia for its overwhelming quality in 1750.
And the answer would likely be the West because the HRE was still around in 1750 and the full might of these states with the modern armies of the time would triomph over the rest
@@Freedmoon44 Very questionable. But thanks for your idea.
Since 1071 and forever called Turkiye.
Everything comes to end nothing last for ever especially when you are on foreign lands
@@panosgeorgedimitriou2290that's true. Who knows Greeks could become Powerful enough to drive out turks and reclaim the Anatolia for Greece . And rename Istanbul to Constantinople.for example who thought in 4th century BC that Greeks would come from their land and Anahilate The Mighty Persian Empire.
@@richardjoshua8388 a little correction my friend Constantinople was built on a previous ancient Greek city which the name was byzantion and it was founded at classic ere (around 600 bc)
@@panosgeorgedimitriou2290 that,s True Friend. But Constantinople brings that Legacy of Eastern Romans.
@@richardjoshua8388 yeap
2 emperors of romans were kurdish. one is actually a family laskaris are discussed their origin might be kurdish because of name and they were son of shaddadid prince who that sent to roman palace as hostage. other theory claim they were cappadocian nobles. other one was Theophobes, he was khurrmete kurdish and entered byzantine service later.
Nice video bro.We respect everyone who has lived here in the past. Anatolia has been our (Turks) land since 1071 and will remain so until the end of time.
Untill 1200 byzantine empire was strong. The fall started after Konstantpoli ruined by crussaders
Anatolia was turkic after 1250
You are probably more related to the Anatolian Greeks than to any Turkic population.
Also "till the end of time". History isn't over yet.
@@Michael_the_Drunkard The people you mention as Anatolian Greeks are Rums, the indigenous people of Asia Minor. In Türkiye, we call them Rum, not Greek. Its meaning is the Arabic equivalent of Roman.
@@turkcukayi Anatolia ( Greek dominated land and name bc) had a cilture and civilization based on Greeks- many regions and cities have Greek names untill today. Tirks created nothing in anatolia just conquered it
