If you want to know about Byzantine diplomacy, ask the Bulgarians...

Cyril and Methodius created the glagolitic alphabet. Their students created the cyrilic alphabet and named it that way to honor their teacher.

I see Roman Empire, I click. Thanks for the great video!

It has always bothered me that the Catholic Church and Western Europe abandoned the Byzantines to their fate. Had they provided support and sent supplies and troops... that whole region would be dramatically different.

😮Why do you call it Eastern Roman Empire? Byzantium has to do with the Capital and the Byzantines were Orthodox Greek. That's why it's a good name that reflects the originality. They knew they were Greek just the name Hellene wasn't used. When Chalramagne, the western Emperor was crown the Roman heir, the Byzantine emperor was considered emperor or King of Constantinople (imperator, rex Constantinopolitanus) his empire was called Kingdom of the Greeks (regnum Graecorum). Latin wasn't used as much the same way Greek was forgotten in Italy. The split of the two churches is also a good indicator of two empires going their own route but especially in the Meso-Byzantine era.

love your Byzantine/Eastern Roman content

Sadly, East Roman hard power would decline terminally.

Cyril and Metodious didn't invent the Cyrillic alphabet. They invented the Glagolic alphabet, which was really complex and inefficient to write on. Their students in Bulgaria invented the Cyrillic as a significantly simplified version of the glagolic, closer to the Greek alphabet, and named it after their teacher Cyril - Cyrillic.

Considering how complicated was their situation, they truly were recursive when needed.

The Eastern Roman Empire of the Middle Ages might have never recovered the max size of the empire at 117 AD with Trajan, but nevertheless managed to hold on pretty well despite not having the same raw power as before.

Where was Gondor when the Eastern Empire fell?

Beacuse they were byzantine

Could you do a video on Simon Bolivar please?

Amazingly done as always

Comment 🎉

In Turkish there is a phrase called "playing byzantine games" which means displaying cunning and tricky and hypocritic behaviors.

These videos are excellent, thank you so much ❤️

Props to Arb Paninken for the fantastic artwork on this video!

I have to say, as a medieval history student, I used to prefer military history, but now I like the diplomatic, social and even economic history (long-term stuff) as much and even more than political and military events, which are much more short-term.

Can you make a video about the battle of Mosul 2016-2017?

Yay a video

Loving the byzantine videos keeper coming

excellent as always

This was an incredible topic, more of this please! :)

You mean the Byzantine Empire. Thanks then.

I’m literally watching this from the Fatih district (European side) in the heart of the historic capital, Constantinople. Thank you for the video guys

Thank you very much!!

I miss the total war footage you guys used to edit in :(

Eastern Roman diplomats used, "bribery, misinformation, alliances, trade agreements and divide and conquer tactics to ensure the empire's survival and dominance." Why does this all sound so familiar? Is it possible that the US manipulated the Russians and Ukrainians into going to war? I wonder if behind closed doors, American diplomats told their Russian counterparts in private that the US was going to greenlight Ukraine's admission into NATO. Such an alliance would theoretically threaten Russia's access to its only warm water naval and seaports along the Black Sea, cutting them off from the Mediterranean Sea and by extension ocean going trade in that area. Such an existential threat would inevitably lead to war. Wouldn't it? Why would the US do such a thing? Power of course. The US like the Eastern Roman Empire was in decline and had to resort to every dirty trick in the book to stay on top for as long as possible. The British in the 19th century fought the Russians in the Crimea to do exactly the same thing which was to keep them out of the Mediterranean Sea.

Is it only me or intro of the video was really too hard to understand? Its like written in C2 English level.

Byzantine history is so friggin interesting 😁 These guys got beat up constantly but fought for the capital until the end. Pretty dope 😎 Great work you guys as alwaya

We deserve to see the full might and glory of Eastern Roman Empire in cinema.

If there's more information available, I'd love to see a more in depth look at the Silk Job.

Hey guys can you do a video on Eastern Rome if it managed to reconquer the west. That'd be interesting.

So did medieval diplomats have special immunity from being arrested in another diplomatic country?

Kings and Generals always delivers top-notch historical content, and this video on Eastern Rome's survival through diplomacy and espionage is no exception. It's remarkable to see how cunning diplomacy and covert intelligence played pivotal roles in the empire's resilience. The intricate storytelling and detailed animation make history come alive. Thanks for another engaging episode!" 🌍🕵‍♂📜

Use simple ENGLISH!!! Not all the people watching this video is English!!!!!!

“War is but one method of diplomacy. However, it is far and away the least efficient of them.”

Wow! Imma try and RP my future CK3 Byzantine runs with more intrigue and diplomacy then.
