  • Meaningless - just a coloring book - unless, each time the map changes, the year ("200 AD," etc.) in which the event occurred is prominently displayed.

    Please don't eat the crayons.

  • @MaestroFire accross the world of artificial states suited to European interests, the power shift was complete. Who knows what the future holds for the Eastern world. What I think I am seeing right now, however, is the beginning of an Islamic Renaissance in the form of the Arab Spring.

  • @MaestroFire furthermore, the decline of the Islamic world coincided with the rise of European Imperialism. While Islam still clung to a feudal outlook, Europe was moving into an industrialized age of Capitalism. Europe galloped accross the globe, destroying nations, obliterating cultures, and enslaving millions in more ways than one, while the rest of the world declined just as the Europeans had. With the partition of the Ottoman empire, the decolonization movement, and the creation

  • @MaestroFire including the flowering of technological growth and trade during the Ummayad and Abbasid Caliphates, and the various Indian and central asian states, whilst Europe was in chaos, turned into itself by religion, witch hunts, and war. The eastern world was enjoying a golden age during the medaeval era. The Chinese Tang and Song dynasties, the Caliphates, and virtually enveryone else was making strides in science and technology.

  • @MaestroFire What garbage, the dark ages were the result of Rome's decline and fall. Since Rome fell slowly after being torn to pieces, local warlords carved out little petty states all over Europe. It was the endemic warfare between these petty states, the Viking Raids, various plagues, and other such unfortunate catastrophes that percipitated the decline of Western civilisation. The process began in 476 AD, long before Islam. Your piggish racism ignores the wider scope of worldwide events

  • You forgot the Alanic Kingdom established in Spain.

  • @hilletehnoob this immigrations today is pericolous for Europe, l'Impero Romano insegna!

  • lots of love in these comments

  • It is cool video but the Byzantine Empire IS the eastern roman empire, so in this video theres no decline of eastern empire.

  • @TheTurkicWorld c'mon dude. Europe had it just as fine. Then afterwards because muslims couldn't reform themselves like christians did, they tagged along with their religion instead of way of science, and started sucking balls. And please don't support those lizard eating desert wanderer arabs as a Turk. If turks weren't force-converted to islam when they were in iran, now they would be called Eastern Roman Empire still. Or maybe "The Roman Empire", who knows?
