      Christianity BLEEDS this day. Constantinople will never be Christian again and the Greek 400 year slavery period starts….dark times for the Greeks who under sharia law become second class citizens…

      Ah yes, the yearly /r/Europe “Turkey bad!!!!!” thread.

      I’m sure the comments will be civil and polite.

      “…Meanwhile, a swarm of Turks climbed onto the fortress and leapt onto the battlement. The castle gate opened, and the horde surged in with a terrifying roar. At that moment, a heart-wrenching cry was heard: ‘The City has fallen!’
      The emperor spurred his horse and rushed toward the place where the lamentation was rising. But the mass of Turks swelled and pushed the few remaining Christians backward. Then Constantine plunged into the crowd, sword in hand, with blood streaming from his hands and legs like a river.
      Beside him fought and died Francesco of Toledo, Theophilos Palaiologos, John the Dalmatian, and other Christian soldiers.
      There, the martyred king gave up his soul, crying through his tears:
      *’Is there no Christian left to take my head?’*”

      Nice post, I am going to read thousands of comments about historical events most of them fabricated by different sides.

      *Collapse of the Romans. The Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire.

      Arguably the single worst day for human history. A culturally vibrant and signigicant force replaced by a genocidal monster whose negative effects are still felt all over the Balkans, Anatolia and the Middle-east.

      The second fall of Constantinople. The Greeks had already lost it to the Latins during the Fourth Crusade, and honestly the Niceans never managed to really recover it to its previous grandeur, it was the shadow of an empire under the Palaiologos.

      This thread will bring out the worst of the worst basement dwellers and you all know it.

      Let’s hear unhinged revisionist bullshittery about how Christians/Greeks/Armenians were enslaved and oppressed under the Ottomans for 500 years straight.

      Dark times for Georgia too. Ottomans took territories and god knows how many slaves.

      The barbarians from East of the Caspian Sea. Burning Europe. 

      Tragic.

      Fall of the eastern Roman empire and last remnant of Rome

      At least it was conquered. Current Europe is falling without a fight.

      An interesting point in history.

      Id reccomend several places people can look this up, but the funniest (and most abreviated) for the casually interested, would ve looking up Jack Rackams channel, and searching for Constantinople.

      You’ll find great humor, spoonfeeding you facinating history.

      I’m scared to check the comments. Hopefully everyone had a civilised conversation

      Let me tell you, folks, the fall of Constantinople—tremendous event, really. In 1453, the Ottomans came in, very strong, very powerful. Some say the greatest siege ever—big walls, big drama. The Byzantines? Not so great at keeping people out. If I were there, believe me, those walls would’ve been *tremendous*. We would’ve *won*—no question. But the Ottomans? They had a guy—Mehmed—young guy, 21, very ambitious. Reminds me a little of me, honestly. He got the job done. Sad for the Byzantines. Great for history.
