- The Eastern Roman Empire was under constant Ottoman pressure ever since the new conquerors appeared in the Anatolia. Although the Ottomans tried to take Constantinople on a number of occasions, they had to lift the siege of the city due to the Crusades of Varna and Nicopolis, the Timurid Invasion and the battle of Ankara, and the Interregnum period that happened after their Sultan Bayezid was taken hostage by Timur. However, after the victories at the battles of Varna (1444) and 2nd Kosovo (1448) against the crusaders of Wladyslaw III and John Hunyadi, the road to Constantinople was open and the new sultan Mehmed II set his sight on the city of the Roman emperors...

If you looked at the maps of the time, the conquest of Constantinople was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Since the 1380s they were surrounded on all sides by hundreds of kilometres of Ottoman territory. It was just a matter of when, and it's surprising they managed to hold out that long.
After 1204 it was obvious whoever wanted could take Constantinople from the Byzantine Greeks. Even if they "took it back" In 1262 it was vulnerable but even so they resisted heroically numerous times until they fell
Useless empire anyway. Only survived in stone age era lolol.
@@notgadot the law was made by Byzantium
@@notgadot Rather Your thoughts proves your uselessness.
It survived 1000 years, with so much prosperity in its peak with all ancient knowledges and inheritance of greatest civilizations of Hebrews, Greeks and Romans also little bit of ancient Levant, ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, North Africa, etc and the earliest well developed monarchial state of feudal middle age Europe. Also with little bit of proto capitalism.
Without inheriting Byzantine's governance none of your glorious Ottoman Empire would be glorious and could never function well and die out in 100 years just like timurid empire. Niether would ancient knowledges that Byzantines(Eastern Roman Empire) had inherited from imperial Roman Empire as rightful continuum of imperial Roman Empire, which sparked Renaissance would be safe and available to mediaeval Europeans and to us so there would be no scientific revolution.
@@JohnWick_897The Ottomans started in the age of swords and survived up until the age of machine guns. The descendants of the Byzantine’s are now Turkish and the Ottomans secured Constantinople in Turkish hands until present day. The disastrous failure of the Byzantines is why Greece and greeks are in a such a pathetic situation today being reduced to a shell of their former selves.
Mehmed II was Sultan twice, first time at 12. He had hard times with rebellions and wrote a letter to his father to come back and take the command of the army: “If you are a Sultan, come and take the command. If I am a Sultan, I order you, come and take the command”
"If you are the sultan, come and lead *your* armies. If I am the sultan, I order you, come and lead *my* armies."
He was born a leader!
Its just an embelishment. Can you imagine a 12 year old writing something this profound? Me neither.
@LiezAllLiez sounds legit, but also he was one of the most educated persons of his time, so I don't know for sure
This story is not true according to prominent Turkish historians.

It's true sulatan slaughtered hundred thousand of animals so that their ships can pass over them and perfectly led led their ships to the sea
Said the emperor who lost their capital because ships walked
to order the 70 ships moved across the land shows how genius is Mehmed II
Prophet Muhammad PBUH said “Verily, you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful army will that army be, and what a wonderful commander will that conqueror be.” and Sultan Mehmed conquered constantinople alhamdulillah thus fulfilling another prophecy of Prophet Muhammad PBUH

It was the final end of the Roman Empire. Founded in the second century. One of the most powerful nations ever known. It saw many other states come and go. The Ssasavids, The Han Dynasty, The Mongols, The Golden Horde, Francia, The HRE and finally the ones that would end them once and for all, The Ottoman Empire.
That’s really not something to be proud of. I would have preferred the Roman Empire to still have been around than have the Turks move in. The Byzantine Empire was soooooooooooooooo much better in every topic you can think of. Starting with the culture.

I salute you.
Thank you very much, good sir! :-)
I absolutely agree with you. I never get bored while watching these.
+Risora BF happy to hear that. :-)
completely agree
I very very recommend for you to read the Fall of Constantinople from the Islamic perspective. It all started from the prophet Mohammad's prophesize 800 years earlier. He said that the best city in the world (at the time) will be open to the Moslem.
Some of the hadits:
“Whilst we were around the Prophet (saw) writing he was asked, ‘Which of the two cities will be opened first, Constantinople or Rome?‘ He (the Prophet Muhammad) answered, ‘The city of Heraclius (Constantinople) will be opened first!'”
"Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will the leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!"
Even the reason and the circumstanses of why Prophet said that are very interesting.
Dont't forget! Sultan Mehmed was only 21 years old....
Seems like Alexandre The Great
Byzantium was weak and had no army last 4 months of siege and west never helped.
Don't forget he manipulated islam
He was 21 years old that time. But his army didn't. I can also does the same if my father was a great king.

But he berated them and told them he intends to stay and die for his country. He could have escaped incognito if he wanted to.

After Byzantine forces were completely obliterated, Mehmet came up to the gates and recognized the emperor's corpse due to his clothing.
Instead of being left there to rot, his body was buried under a tree, and on his grave was a stone that was oftenly covered in oil and set ablaze.
Although I'm a redblooded greek patriot, Mehmet deserves my respect.
It also was respected since the emperor was found wearing an armor fighting in lines himself

This is like rewatching the scene where your favorite hero dies over and over, and you hope that he'll survive and win this time.

true sadge
Fav hero?
@@legitabdullah846 he means the byzantine emperor Constantine
Constantine was a badass ,but yeah the Roman empire was coming to an end no matter what.
Great event in near history. Thank you.

Well, to be honest, Constantine XI did a great job protecting the city after so many attacks. It was inevitable when it will fall, but he didn't give up and fought until the end, even with only one ally. Truly a brave man.
Indeed
Ok..

ivkekosovo What a hell are you talking about you stupid kids ? The Kastrioti was an albanian family from north of Albania where the slavic and orthodox influence were too high and important.
Today you have many orthodox Albanians (Marko, Palush, Angjelo, Duran, Pjetër, Kostandin, Gjergj etc..)

“The last Roman emperor died” *HRE TRIGGERED*
sultan Mehmed is a new roman emperor.
@@umuttop9996 you don't know what is a Roman emperor right.
@@vasileiospapazoglou2362 Make sure the whole date is better than you. each ruler can adopt the title of the empire he conquered.and Mehmed considered himself a Roman emperor.for this you don't need to know what the Roman emperor is,and istanbul is falling mehmed took this.wanted to lie in the same grave with Konstantin 1.Mehmed was the last person to see himself as the Roman emperor and had the right to do so.
and you dont know what is a roman emperor and Mehmed RİGHT.my little greek firend.
alvi syahri nope is not, but the pope needed friends
@@vasileiospapazoglou2362 Actually he is right, Many sultans don't like Turks, Greeks have more value than Turkish peasants in Mehmed's era.
I found out about Skanderbeg and Ottoman early conquests through this channel. Skanderbeg quickly became my favorite historical figure from the Balkans. Keep up with the great content!
The history of hero that was forgotten.. Proud to be Albanian.. You can find for Scanderberg in youtube so many videos.
HAHAHA Cengis Khan was a hero and tmore then his army was Islamic people hahaha please dont comment stupid things.
If skanderbeg saw that todays albanians are 50% muslim he would be so sad
goran stojanovic did you know that in serbia there is a discussion about the Karageorgevic family? Some scholars claim they are Albanians. And No, they not albanian scholars, they're Serbs.
About the history books, Albanian history is written by foreign scholars, while the Srbian is written by ultranationalist serbs, or chetniks.
There are more churches then mosques in Albania......
Buenísimo el video; enhorabuena

well, kinda correct but the byzantine influx is the thing that caused the end of the middle ages
@@hershkrukover7846 It wasn't "the thing", there were a lot of factors. And the end of the middle ages can't really be situated precisely.

I see u made a video about me and my famous Conquest of Constantinople
Mehmed II at 21: Conquered Constantinople
Me at 21: Conquered Constantinople...
in Age of Empires.
There is no campaign in Aoe2 about capturing Constantinople
@I am khan and I dont have a gun no, there is not. Constantinople only appeared twice in both Attila the Huns and Barbarossa campaign, but it was not captured and there is no campaign about Mehmed II either
Mmm yes I recently captured Constantinople in Rome: Total War
Me only win Easy enemy in aoe 😂
Capturing Constantinople is quite satisfying in ck2.
Fun fact: Mehmed ii is still 21 at 1453 :)
Yeah, probably should have mentioned that.
At 21 Mehmed was conquering the “City of the World’s Desire”. At 21 I was sitting like a useless duck.
Incendiary Bullet Also, he knew at least 7 languages. He was an engineer and designed the huge cannon called ŞAHİ that broke down the walls of Constantinople.
Incendiary Bullet Yeah. Tell me about it.:D Because of this conquerer fella, turkish youth is under constant pressure of achieving marvelous stuff at a young age. I mean there are even popular songs about it, saying: "You are at the age of Mehmed the Conquerer when he conquered Istanbul". I mean why are you shaming me for not knowing 7 languages, Advanced Politics and Advanced warfare at the age of 21. Obviously he is the one with the issues; I am not.:D
We strated to not like ottoman because of tayyip erdogan.he thinks he is the new sultan but it’s 2018 of course and we Are republic.big thanks to Atatürk anyway ottoman empire was a hell of a power for 300 years.we still proud.what a history:)glad to be Turk
Mehmet II was the most intellectual person of that age. He is a true conqueror.

Hands down one of the (if not THE) most informative and entertaining video about the Fall of Constantinople I ever saw. Great job guys! I can't wait for the next episode!
P.S. A shame that there is so much cancerous comments
I mean yeah I expected Turkish/Muslim and Greek viewers to express their feelings but I even noticed Balkan Slavs arguing with each other over the Skanderberg which is... underwhelming
when a channel gets to a certain size it attracts the lowest of the low
That sense of humour tho 👏
It's actually funny how many people get kinda triggered by my comment. Who's the snowflake now lol
There is no such thing as cancerous comments. It's just your feelings are softer than babies. cry now.
This was a great video, glad to hear something about Skanderbeg. And Rip Constantinople :(
Thanks!
Great job man...

Check the replies. It's a war.
Including yours.

Thank the yt gods! They finnaly haven’t turned the comment section into a bloodbath
So good. The top comment said there is war going on in comments that is deadlier than the actual battle. Relived to find there isn't.
