you get your info from crappy youtube channels confirmed |
|
|
the *actual* roman empire was conquered by barbarians.
goths/visigoths, huns i think
|
|
|
Actually,
Western Rome whas overrun by germanic ppl migrating because of the Huns
Eastern Rome ( Byzantine ) whas piece by piece conquered by the Seljuq Turks and not the Ottomans
Dont really know how Rome fell into 2 seperates pieces though |
|
|
@Golden, who conquered Constantinople? The capital of the Eastern Roman Empire? |
|
|
@Forenz, I get my facts from my parents. |
|
|
The city of Constaninople whas conquered by the Ottomans which where a succesor of the Seljuq turks |
|
|
this is actually correct, byzantine empire was the roman empire. the term "byzantine" wasn't coined until the 1800s, 350 years after constantinople was taken
however byzantium at the time was not even close to its full power in terms of land, manpower, resources, internal unity, etc. byzantium was stuck right between a re-emerged west, the entirety of the arabian east, and had their own problems of internal strife. in the last battle where byzantium could actually muster a real force against an enemy, they only had 4,000 men (with the majority being from constantinople alone)
we all know you're trying to equate turkey to the ottoman empire, so the previous statement can be equally noted as "austria conquered the roman empire" because of the visigoths lead by alaric.
nobody's denying that the ottomans conquered a hell of a lot of land from several different people, but if you think turkey is equally capable you're dumb

let me remind you that there's the word "dog" in erdogan |
|
|
besides justinian reconquered practically every single major province that west rome had and held it for a few centuries, so at that time there was no visual difference between "old rome" and the "new rome" |
|
|
"So my post is historically accurate."
completely, given that you dont try to equate the ottoman empire to modern day turkey |

Byzantine*
(Idc if you argue it was still the Romans, keep in mind that the Eastern Roman Empire didn't even hold Rome, they had their capital at Byzantium, or Constantinople.) |

Let's not forget the countless amounts of time that Turkey fell to other weaker nations, or came close to. |

This is actually historically correct, the byzantine empire was actually the eastern roman empire. |

that's true, the turks fell to unarmed armenian jenocide survivors who barely had any food in the battle of sardarapat in 1918 |
|
|
Keep in mind the Byzantines considered themselves to be Roman and it was their intent to re take Rome one day. |
