The Byzantine Empire: A Complete Overview

Описание: The Byzantine Empire is a complete overview of the Eastern Roman Empire from around the 500s to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. The video goes over the initial reconquest under Justinian, and the wars with the Sassanids and Arabian armies. Then comes a period called the Byzantine Dark Ages before a period of prosperity in arts, culture, and military under the Macedonians. The decline begins soon after, culminating in the Crusades and eventually the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans.

This will be our 8th and final episode in the Medieval World mega-documentary!

Welcome to The Medieval World series! This series is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, this series is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. The series will be divided into 8 videos about the Medieval Period, which we call Phase 2. Once these 8 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 3, but this project will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 8 parts.
