  • Us Turks are from the Altay mountains. We are not Chinese, Mongol, Arab, or European. Read about the Oghuz Turks. The Turkish numbers were 80,000. Not 160,000. We are here to stay, you tried erasing us but we kicked your ass to your mothers womb.

  • Why don't you go back to China where the ygur Turks are from.that's history .all Turks came from China.todays Turks stole everything from others. Nothing is original but somethings like hashish,coffee,good.bellie dancing. Hamum. And that's it

  • @slida65 Unlike the United States the Ottoman culture is far more older than yours and to be quiet honest with you, you are not in a position to criticize them in any way. Now go eat hamburger and pizza, scum.

  • This was also the same reason why King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella together united christian Spain and threw out the last Muslim Kingdom in Granada in Southern Spain. Also because of that reason,the European nations came to the Americas for trade.

  • You dont feel shame? 200 000 mongolians got the last technology from others VS 10 000 byzantine semihelped?during 2 months.You are coward to fight with same army...in all fights of your history.

  • @dinoscyp Like in many other battles in our planet's history, one nation sometimes overpowers the other one.

  • First of all this documentation has 2 major flows. And it clearly supports the Ottoman side(Ottoman isn't turkish). This isn't history my friend. This is propaganda.

    racist ignorents

  • you forget one thing,mehmet 2 send his armies in albania against arbers{albanians} and lose tha battle,and many after him for 25 years ,the otomans couldnt win over albanians.

  • Western and Eastern Christianity was split into the 'Great Schism'. European nations and city-states were at conflict with each other, unlike the peace that exists among them today. For that reason, the Byzantines had a lack of support from Germany, Britain and France. Therefore it was the incompetence of the West that led to the catastrophic loss of Constantinople.

    I agree with Peter, that Byzantine should have simply made a peace treaty with the Turks and kept their sovereignty intact.

  • The word of Muhammad pbuh came true after all! If he not a phophet, constantinople can not fall to the muslim, and you my friend Septimivs your day is out number! Asia Minor is not belong to the Greek, they are EUROPEAN and ANATOLIA is part or ASIA and THE HITTITES is real population of the place not the GREEK!!

  • good vıdeo thanks

  • It took a 19 year old snobby shithead to use his 'toys' on Constantinople. Pathetic, very pathetic. DAMN the VATICAN and all those so-called Christian BASTARDS. FUCK RELIGION.

  • In roman empire before the council of Nicea people who followed Jesus were muslim after 320CE/AD council of nicea constantin changed christianity to thrinity

The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou a son of a bitch wilt not ever make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.

  • @Adinatascha Thou art the Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, Armenian pig, Podolian villain, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, a fool before our God, a grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!

  • @Adinatascha So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. Thou wilt not even be herding Christian pigs. Now we shall conclude, for we don't know the date and don't have a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year in the book, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse! Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host

  • @Adinatascha and it was to no avail, istanbul remains turkish... lol that rant sounds like a spoiled kid at toys r' us...

  • People didnt want the emperor anymore, thats why there was so much treason and unwilligness to fight.

  • very nice video,everything is very good but just the picture in the end of is wrong.it is europian paint about Mehmets enter to Istanbul.in fact he entered the city on food not on a horse.he showed his respect with that behaving.anyway congrats

  • nice vid bro

  • turks ruin everything

  • i think turks are one of the most brave nations on the face of earth.. the greatest of nations among muslims...the ottoman empire is enough for an example...it were the turks to fullfil the prophecy of taking over constantinople....

    the only thing that grieves me is why turks became secular?? :(( they were the defenders of islam...they were the soldiers of islam...n they were the face of islam..but why did they turn secular??????????????? the turk nation shud realise this and come back

  • @haartengineer

    Better for us to be secular.

    Our destiny does not lie with the laws of 1000 years back.

    We love our religion, but it's better that we keep it on a personal level.

  • Islam out of EUROPA!

  • @benfalas Well try it bitch!

  • @benfalas who gives a shit to europe these days. you old and poor idiots. 

  • Hitler + Stalin +Mussolini= Europeans

    see u soon

  • Turks didn't have ships. Genoa was supplied Konstantinople with food, untill Venice took money from Turks to block Genoa ships, so that Bizantines eat rats in last four weeks. Venice sold guns to Turks, made of their maistor Urban, with which Turks made holes in walls. In this video, Venice didn't send help, because they had some "logostic problems". Bullshit...

  • @snagazoran u definately suck at history dude

  • i love ur videos xD

  • Look at yu all arguing like stupid childeren.We chrisitians say we r faithfull,and the fourth crusade itself besieged and sacked Constantinople,we practicly killed our christian brothers only in search for power.And yu muslims,if Nur addin or Salah addin never existed,yu would have been wiped out by some treatorus templars who only again,seek power. And to think ottomans had honor?after defeating byzantinean empire they again sought power in europe...

    And yet we complain about our lives.........

  • shame for all christianity! shame for great countries like France Germany and England. shame for all western civilisation . you let us hundreds years alone against this menace and against the most powerull army in medium eve

  • @olimpiupopa European crusaders destroyed Constantinople in 1204

    239 before Turks.

  • we are waitin for all of our opponents, if you are self confident enough, come and take it. we are always ready....WE ARE TURKS. only come and see. This is for our oppenents, because we always love who loves us.

  • Viva turkish Osmanli Empire.

  • Viva Turkish Osmanli Empire.

  • Bloodthirsty turks.

  • Interesting video, the way it is set up kinda reminds me of a video game.

  • 第4回十字軍で東ローマは実質的に滅亡したという人もいるんだよ­ね。

    それにしてもこのフラッシュ塩さんの影響が・・・・

  • さらに面白いのは、コンスタンティノープルが危機的状況だったに­もかかわらず、カソリック諸国はビザンティン帝国を本気で助けよ­うとせず、見殺しにしたことです。また、ビザンティン側も、カソ­リックに妥協するよりムスリムに降る方がよいという当時の世論も­ありました。

  • The Italians and western Europeans didn't care, the Pope invaded and sacked Constantinople, in the infamous 4th crusade. The Eastern Roman Empire should have just made peace with the Turk's let them invade Europe and sack and destroy Rome.

  • @hipeter924

    False.

    The 4th crusade diverged against the orders of the pope, who excommunicated its leaders. And it was certainly nothing compared the slaughter and barbarity of Mehmed's conquest. Rape, slaughter, desecration .

    By the way about 3,000 Italians fought for the defense of Constantinople, to the thanks and praise of Constantine XI.

  • My last comment was sarcasm, but regardless (or whether or not he ordered it) the Pope gave his full endorsement of the crusade after-wards, and it was still his men (the catholic faithful) who did it. Also the Italians left Constantinople to its fate, those 3000 came not endorsed by their govt but as volunteers. Not to mention it was the Venetians and Franks that forced Constantinople into humiliating treaties that destroyed the economy and led basically to financial collapse.

  • @hipeter924

    Innocent III most certainly did not endorse the crusade. He excommunicated the leaders for the crusade. It is irrelevant whether the they were Catholics or not. If the pope makes a proclamation and he is disobeyed, what can he do apart excommunication (which he already did)?

    Further, I never said that Italian city-states officially sent aid - I said Italians participated in the city's defense - which is absolutely true. Read up on Giovanni Giustiniani Longo, for instance.

  • Romans took asia minor (turkey) when it was a small pagan tribal area and incorporated it into the empire. Constantinople rose out of Byzantium, the ancient city. The Genoese betrayed the eastern emperor and therefor allowed the turks into south europe and untill the end of WW1 the turks seemed to be at the very gates of Vienna. The Balkans probably would be a calmer place if not for the Turks but I hope Turkey has positives things to give. They seem to in our current day of age...

  • Wow, well made! Nice historiography as well! An incredible battle, truly, of macrohistorical importance.

  • Lets just say this my friends,,,,,, No empire is conquered from the outside without collapsing from the inside first. And this my friends is the history of my great city of Istanbul, come and visit

    Tutkey enjoy the rhythem

  • @deouwehoer

    Fuck you dumb ass Oygur bitch

  • @deouwehoer IT IS CALLED CONSTANTINOPLE AND NOT INSTABUL.and how dare an holland speak about greek or turkish history?we greeks idiot holland gave you democracy,clothes,we learn you how to speak and write and the thans is : let's destroy Greece.fucking western people... i am surprised you called yourself Europeans.

  • turkish must be one of few nations that is happy by killing each others and conquering and stealing others homes. you will find many examples by reading history. they came from asia in ancient greece just to kill , to conquer and to have other nations as slaves. thats why they starve over there in turkey, cause turkish need many years still to understand some basic things about life and living for the good of humans generally. thanks to France that they don't want turkey in european union.

  • @mpatshs in wars you fight.. the one wins the other loses.. If your a soldier you have to know that you can get killed.. If your a King you know that other can take over your kingdome. Don't blame Turks. As a kingdom you should have the power to protect yourself. If you dont have it and even your friends stopt supporting you then don't blame the enemy.. Blame yourselve..

  • and the whole world knows that turkey a barbaric nation took the land and killed greeks for there own selfish needs. thats one big reason turkey today will stay out of the EU. warning to turkey, Vladimir putin will wipe turkey off the map.

  • and the whole world knows that turkey wasn't of greeks but it was of rumi's so the greek also took the land dumbass

  • imaginitive thinking is fun isnt it, you have no idea what you are even talking about. read history diackhead, then open your mouth. greece is greece and turkey does not belong there, According to historians and archeological findings, the Neolithic Age in Greece lasted from 6800 to 3200 BC where was turkey???

  • turkey had greek cities in it. TUrks came later like 10 century Ad so shut up mongol

  • Shut up you Greek bitch and go fuck your father like they did in Gay Greek times.

  • Here's food for thought. Urban's cannon was actually designed by Hungarian gunfounder Urban, who offered to sell the massive gun to the Byzantines for defense. He was rejected for they couldn't afford the weapon so Urban approached the Ottoman sultan and said that this weapon could "Blast the walls of Babylon itself". The sultan agreed to the purchase and this one weapons maker indirectly ensured the fall of the great city.

  • the europeans never knew about urban cannons but correct me if am wrong.

  • They knew that the ottomans had been equipped with medium sized cannons prior to the invasion but they weren't as much a threat due to their short range and poor impact. Urban's gun was newly created by the time of the invasion. Urban's gun also had several drawbacks: it was too heavy to carry, it's ammunition who's cannon balls were 63 cm in diameter were in short supply, and sometimes the cannon fell apart after it recoiled. Nevertheless, the siege tactics of the ottomans were significant.

  • i see, i though the cannons were made in china since they deloped cannons and powers but thanks for info learned some thing new.:p

  • east roman emperor needs to hire a better painter

  • if the venetians didnt sack constantinoupolis with their false and lied crusade, the byzantines would have easily won over the turks in anatolia. the venetian crusaders were mostly franks who have been lied to, the venetians told them that they were going to an egyptian fortress and the byzantines on the outskirts of their empire then, thought they were allies and they let them through their defenses. the glorious of city of constantinoupolis fend off every enemy, but this pure betrayal

  • Funny how the Janissaries were mostly Christians taken from their families and brainwashed.

    So in summary, Byzantines were outnumbered to an extreme level, and no one from Europe would help. So the Ottomans just waltzed in...doesn't sound like a great achievement to me.

  • they didnt just ''waltzed'' in, they held the city for months, the first weeks of the siege turks had many losses although they even outnumbered them.byzantines even had a chance, but the luck was on the side of the turks/the byzantines were unlucky. still, if the latins didnt sack constantinople in 1204, the byzantines could have easily drive the turks of from anatolia, because the turks were and allways have been weak.

  • if it wasnt for the italian betrayels the last emperor coudl have driven the turks out of anatolia but saidly a a great and long history was lost. We paid for it in the last century. The Balkans have only recently stopped bleeding because of the turkish invasion.

  • ahaha 1453 !! Ne mutlu Türküm diyene!

  • turks and greeks love each others bums... Historically speaking.

  • ALLAHUEKBAR!!! The Ottoman Empire will rise again!

  • Well that spits in the face of the republic of Turkey.

  • haha you got slaughtered at thessaloniki and we marched all the way to ankara dirty turk

  • If it wasn't for religion this wouldn't have happened Islam vs Christian causes so much trouble

  • muaxaxaxa poor mongols. You dont want to understand becouse you are scare .

    you are a realy gay nation who know only to kill women and children,

    and you know these and just try to defede from internet .

    dont try , Your end is here:)

  • greeks never retreat the stay to fight until death. 7.000 soldiers against 200.000 ottomans and they hold the city if you didnt found kerkoporta.

    Good luck with Russia poor mongols becouse now you must fight against the same army.. a great army.

  • Comment removed

  • Ugly turkish elements, go back to Asia where you come from. COSTANTINOPOLI is Roman, is Greek, is Byzantine. It is arian!

    Make place for the Greeks, Armenians and Medi (Curdians). They are the real population of ASIA MINOR.

  • constantinipole soon will be greek again.

    it will be again the greatest orthodox tempe at the world

  • hhahahahah dude the population of istnabul is more than whole GREECE!

    who are obsessed with ottoman empire as if noone else had in empire ever before loooool....Greeks hadTWO EMPIRES BTW..BYZANTINE AND THE HELLENIC EMPIRE OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT

  • @SEPTIMIVS Idiot when you start praying to the God of Abraham, that is one and only ONE God, than you had a chance to defend Constantinople.Now you guys believing in trinity, you have become PAGANS.YOU worship idols and images just like the ancient Greeks & the Romans......CONTRARY to BIBLES teachings.

  • @JosephBernstein

    Elazar79

  • @SEPTIMIVS LEARN TO LOOSE 

  • Wow, great work. It is very difficult to give an objective view of history, but I have to say that you managed quite fairly in doing so.

    Respect! .. 5/5

  • the ottomans owned the byzantuim thats the true

  • the byzantium owned gay ottomans. but defenders was only 7000 against 200000.

    if greeks were ta least double (14000) now constnatinopole will be greek ;)

  • shut up greeks...u know what will happen if u dont respect to Turks ;)

  • i know .. we fuck all ottoman empire ;)

    poor mongols ;)

  • u r really comic...just tell me who from we get all Turkiye?

  • as a greek i would have prefered ottoman rule better than being ruled by the babarian west the most damage to greece came from the babarian west europeans they came in 1940 again to have greece as slaves and they will come again babarians if it wasn't for greek culture you will still be living in tree's it's the zionist detained babarian west that make trouble for greece and turkey

  • ti les re malaka?

  • Thanks 4 the big explanation to the new world with this amazing video dude! I love it! I'll try to share as much as I can!

    1453 :

    The Fall of Constantinople and the new epoch

  • the time will come and the cross will be put on the top of the hagia sophiaa gain!!!!and a new greek era will beginn ;)

  • be careful! Don't mess around with the TURKs (Child's of Ottoman Empires) This time you can lose all of ur country!

  • again a west liar video turks have kicked al west from constantinoble

  • The Turks lost Constantinople during WWI so I'm not sure what you mean.

  • hmm lost at ww2 what u know about history ...turks didnt fight at ww2 :P snd why is ti stillll turkeys part

  • What are you talking about? I didn't say the Turks fought in WW2, I said WW1. Can't you read? I understand that English is not your first language and that's OK but don't start insulting people when you don't understand what you are reading. Please be polite. Thank you.

  • nice job my friend.but the title it is fall of constantinople or conquer of constantinople.which one:D

  • keske istanbulun fethedilisini film yapsalardi umarim yakinda yaparlar

  • Great video the 1453 struggle reminds of today's world."europe is busy killing each other we must attack now." I could see that happening in a few months.Europe and North America are divided and fighting.All the while,the Muslim world is completely united in thought and spirit.May Lord Jesus help the Christians unite for the looming struggle.AMEN

  • kickfostermac, not only that but NATO violated its' own charter when it bombed the Hell out of Christian Serbs who were defending their territory in Kosovo. We actually helped the Muslims to destroy fellow Christians. The Muslims saw that we were willing to kill our own Christian brothers and so they committed one act of terrorism after another. Clinton was a degenerate and a scumbag. He should have been removed from office for having the most corrupt administration in the history of the U.S.

  • I agree Matt I have videos about Serbia on my channel.Not only that but,Bush congratulated Kosovo.

  • great video u sould do one on the siege of vianna

  • If the Europeans had attacked the rear of the Ottoman forces during the siege, the Ottoman Empire would have collapsed right there on the spot. But because the stupid disorganized Europeans failed to send any real help, they suffered centuries of death at the hands of these Muslim butchers. Just think about how many Europeans died in WWI alone because of the Ottoman army. Almost 43,000 European soldiers died in Gallipoli alone during WWI. Europe paid dearly for betraying the Byzantines.

  • matt, and what were the europeans doing in Gallipoli you faggot?

  • FinalFantassyyy, you actually need me to explain to you what the Allied forces were doing in Gallipoli, you pedophile worm? Are you that stupid? I now give you permission to beg for my forgiveness, you swine.

  • That's too bad cuz i refuse to give any permission to a pig, even if it means begging me for forgiveness. And once again, what's the point of getting allies when you both get your asses kicked??

  • You poor stupid pervert. When does it end with you? You still haven't made a point here, do you realize that? Instead of projecting your homosexuality upon me, why don't you state your point and let's debate it from there. Can you do that at least and leave the petty insults aside?

  • All I said was you got your ass kicked in a battle. That is my point, and rightfully, it seems to have upset you a great deal.

  • FinalFantassyyy, the Byzantines didn't get their ass kicked in Constantinople. If you read the history of the siege you would know that the Ottomans talked about lifting the siege several times and almost lost. If Constantinople had more troops, the Ottomans would have had to give up for at least that campaign. I don't know why this is such a surprise to you. You must know this if you had done any research on the battle. Come, on man.

  • give up muahahhaha turks were alone vs al west and kicked the faggots from istanbul cuz istanbull is ourssssssssssssssssssssss

  • You're right. Only the French and British could be so stupid as to sacrifice all the lives of their soldiers and then just give up Constantinople without a fight. The French and the British are complete morons for having done that.

  • brits and have lost in istanbul vs turks allll cristian nations ataked ottomans but they couldnt get turkey ? i dn which history u talking maybe usa hollywood liar films in ur obez brain

  • avrupalibey, I don't think you understand English very well at all and you should seriously consider sticking to web sites where you can communicate more effectively. Also, you need to read history books not created in Turkey. They have warped your brain.

  • same from greeks

  • the reason they didnt have enough troops was because the ottomans repeatedly owned them numerous times leading up to this event

    but i gotta say, you guys stood out for a while, and we felt no hatred, sultan mehmet allowed all greeks to stay

  • you know what is the "fun fact" Matt? the western countries protected the Ottoman empire later on because they didn't want Russia to grow too powerful,the Byzantine empire would have been restored and the turks would have been pushed back from Turkey..that is how "good christians" these French and English rulers are PS catholic-protestant scum! :< lol

  • btw "catholic-protestant scum" is my opinion on them for what they did,not my opinion on you XD

  • unurautare2, that is completely correct. The British and French screwed themselves in the end by backing the Ottoman's against the Russians. They paid with many lives for having done that during WWI. And they still haven't learned their lesson. They still think the Turks can be "good friends" when in fact the Turks are one step away from turning into a fundamentalist Muslim country. When that happens, God help the Europeans. The Turks don't screw around. Once again, the West will learn a lesson.

  • that will never happen dont worry if europe like us as much as we like them everything is gonna be allright bob marley i can prove you that turks like europe we actually like everybody the problem is europe is holding a very big groge from history

  • Turks will always be Turks!! They continue to this very day!!, They did the very same thing to Northern Cyprus in 1974, attacked and ethnically cleased the existing Christian population and Turkified the entire area. In Pontos in 1915, in Smyrna in 1922.

    Don't belevie them. Once they get into Europe, you'll never get them out

  • dont worry

    Russia coming down to fuck them all

    Good luck poor ottomans

  • first of all there is no ottoman empire anymore. The young Turks brought an end of the ottoman empire and replacee as The Republic of Turkey. If russia attacks Turkey it wqould be a great great great disaster.. cuz nato will wipe their asses than.

  • yeye Ottoman empire destroyed at 1821 . nato will ignore the turkey becouse Turkey is a barbarian nation and give only pain to our planet.(remember 4 genocites mongols )

    you will see all other nations will attack to you with russia. becouse no one want the fucking mongols at the earth..

    GOod luck gay monols.

  • if constantinople didnt fall the world would have been a very different place as we know it today. There would never been an America if there was no fall of constantinople, no spanish, portugese or British empires if there was no fall of constantinople. IF there was no fall of constantinople, muslims would have continued to dominant the world economically and politically. No renissance if there was no fall of constantinople. Its a sad event that the city fell but its a turning point in history

  • The only sad thing the fall of constantinople did is spread all the mohamidites all over the world.Nothing else would of changed.

  • but columbos did not pass land east because " Constantinople " was in turkish hands, because the only way was throw the holy land and the eastern middle east that was elso in turkish hands .

  • fall of constantinople is a tragic event for europe but its also a major turning point for europe that will change the world forever. fall of constantinople brought teh end of safe trade routes from europe to asia, which also led to the demise of italian city states like genoa and venice. The closure of the trade routes by the turks allowed columbus commisiioned by spain to sail west to asia accidently discover the new world, later the Americas. Portugese reached india by saling past africa

  • I havent know that the Konstantin and Justinian are from greek origin and is strange how they can be born nearbye Skopje in same time it looks like they are something else not greekos.

  • constantin palaiologos was born in peloponnese witch is in south greece!!! his full name was konstantinos palaiologos and not kiro gligorv or something slavobulgarian.......

  • Tragic moment in history

  • janissaries were in turkish army but they were took from their greek parents when they were kids.then they were trained in turkish army,that teached them that they are turks...

  • you europeans are all liers

  • they should make a film of this from the byzantines point of view would most likely be awesome

  • 01:52 lol

  • ottoman army was not 160.000, but 100.000 at most. besides 80.000 is accepted by all realistic and objective historians.

  • This video, however one might call the event: either from an easterner's or westerner's view, the simple fact is it happened in 1453 AD. What matters now is what will happen in 2008 AD and beyond (?). Only we will decide today. Good video, dramatization, and music!

  • wrong. the past informs the present which determines the future.

    1453 caused life to be the way it is now, and 1453 will continue to do so.

  • There are winners and losers in these past struggles; each are easily seen when one takes a look around. However we view our history; what was done it is done, we cannot change it. A Christian quarreling with a Muslim, or vice versa, i.e. are like a Chimpanzee and a Gorilla telling one another they're not apes.The future, meanwhile, gives us a chance to modify it; and it'll reflect, thus, what we do when we acknowledge the past and practice it in the present

  • We are the last species of Homo Sapien Sapien -for better or worst- we had an influence over the continuation of our past relatives: their extinction. Indeed, it was true then, as it is now, that we have done likewise to our own in the past and now present. The good and bad results of these only come to those who make use of it for the benefit of how their view of mankind ought to be.

  • I pity those who perished at the hands od their Muslim conquerers. When will Islam claim enough innocent blood to satiate it's lustful appetite?

  • the bizantines are not greeks they are romans by blood but the culture is greek

    the romans ruled the world by 2000 years

    kill this muslens dogs

  • nope. the byzantines where greek. they where part of the roman empire yes, but they where as greek as the ancient athenians or spartans.

  • You won't win this argument with facts and figures - honestly. They are brainwashed ;-)

  • i have to say this is SHAME for the turks,dirty dogs

  • if a christian made this video, the title is "fall of constantinople". if a muslim made this video, the title is "liberation of constantinople".

    *just wanna point that out. i'm being neutral here...

  • You are being neutral. Let us look at these historical things
