Most history books will tell you that the Roman Empire fell in the fifth century CE, but this would’ve come as a surprise to the millions who lived in the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages. This Medieval Roman Empire, today called the Byzantine Empire, began when Constantine, the first Christian emperor, moved Rome's capital. Leonora Neville details the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire.
Lesson by Leonora Neville, animation by Remus & Kiki.

Expect the "Roman vs. Byzantine" fight in the comments. :-)
Fun fact, the Renaissance most likely wouldn't have started without the fall of Constantinople as all scholars that were in the city when it was conquered fled west to Italy and other Western Europe provinces, reintroducing medieval Europe to the Roman arts and kickstarting the Renaissance
I remember when I was younger I thought that the Roman Empire fell altogether to the barbarians, so when I was learning about the crusades not long ago I was astonished to find that the eastern half of the Roman Empire continued to thrive through the dark and Middle Ages.
"Who were the barbarians? Non-Romans said the Romans being invaded by non-Romans."
"Gondor calls for aid!"

The animation is absolutely top drawer...quite gripping and Addison’s narrations never fail 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Italy:I will make rome great again.
Ted-Ed is amazing...I can't even explain it in words. You guys are so informational and make it fun to learn about these things. The art and animation is great, and I watch all your videos and show them to my friends. My social studies teacher is also a BIG fan of your work, so keep up the great work! I hope one day I could be as good as you.
“What do you mean the ships are walking?”
Sometimes, I still cry at night over the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
It's interesting that when you nowadays ask Greeks about what they associate with their land's tradition everyone will immediately answer "ancient Greece!" but they seem to have forgotten the byzantine part of history, which is so important and rich in details!
Loved the animation style. Remus and Kiki made an already interesting video super entertaining as well. 👏🏼
I genuinely appreciate the animation over here. Good job😭
Constantinople became Istanbul in 28/03/1930. Ottoman called it as Constantinople too. It's name changed in Turkey's time.(after Ottoman)
As someone who took several Roman and "Byzantine" history classes in college, this is a well-done video
I love how this is animated, I would watch this show no cap
