The Middle Ages Explained in 10 minutes

I didn’t think I’d be emotionally invested in a 2,000-year-old battle, but this ancient history documentary changed me.

some people really think the middle ages were worse than ancient times lol

The Roman Empire didn't fall in 476, it fell in 1453
The Byzantines weren't their own thing
It was the Eastern Roman Empire
It was literally Rome itself
Also "After Constantine died, the Byzantine Empire splintered"
No... no it didn't
Constantine was the Roman Emperor for the entirety of the realm, not just the Eastern Roman Empire
After the fall of the West, the East still thrived and survived 1000 more years

Gen Z; I pray to you I swear to you my night is not over.

The middle ages ended with the end of the great plague. Now Europe could leave the worst behind and with Europe radically restructured because of the effects of the plague Europe could start rising. The nation state was consolidating(aragon-castile union), concerted effort to travel farther(Portugal rounding southern africa), typing press, beginning of Renaissance. All this existed during the middle ages but it really exploded after the end of the great plague

why are you talking so much on Christianity

I am actually fond of European history up until about 1492. Before that, they were just the homegrown cultures of their own lands just like anyone else.

You lose me at Colonialism.

DOUBLE DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE

nobody should force anyone to do anything, especially convert to another religion

Muchas gracias por este video tan entretenido no sé qué hubiera sido de mi sin este video🥵🎲🧛🏿‍♀️🙋

نعم أنه التاريخ

Thats a really good explanation for the Middle age.

Remenber, the muslim was the first attack the Crhistians in sec VI. Than in sec XI was the Crusaders apeears for defenders the poor crhistians.

This video is so inaccurate it’s not even worth pointing out everything.

The crusades? Are you nuts man? I guess you are. Thank God I was not born at any time in the dark ages. Some paces forward were made despite. Your list is sheer ignorance like the dark ages you extoll.

I'm a born again Christian. I heard they fed Christians to the lions for pure sport. Regardless of who you are that is pure evil.

What kind of madman tries to put the entire history of the middle ages in a 10 minute video?? This is blasphemy!

Here before my big test that I didn’t study for

Bubonic plague pandemic

Omg that was terrible lmao it was all over the place and skipped hundreds of years at time lmao Rome fell, flashback to Constantine, then suddenly we are 500 years later on Charlamgne, then 300 years later the crusades… what is happening here?!? Please watch something else if you want to learn

Rats and Fleas ended the Darkk Ages

Islam in middle age

Cool, a thousand years in 10 minutes, that is 1min for 100 years. This kinda shown how boring this age was.

The dark ages was BEFORE the medieval period.

It’s inaccurate to say the Byzantines “thought of themselves as Romans.” They called themselves Romans because they WERE Romans. Their capital city of Constantinople was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great on the site of the original Greek city Byzantium. Historians invented the name “Byzantine” 100 years after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453 as a way to distinguish the Greek speaking Christian empire centered on Constantinople from the Latin speaking empire founded in Rome. That said, the Roman Empire lived on for 1000 years after Odoacer deposed Romulus Agustulus and took over. By that point, the Germanic magister militum had been the power behind the throne for a century under Stilicho, Aetius, and Ricimer in that order. Odoacer simply dispensed with the formality. The Roman Empire (the eastern half) midwifed the Renaissance by preserving Greek and Roman texts and through diplomatic contacts with Baghdad. When the Mongols sacked Baghdad, its knowledge was preserved in Constantinople. When Constantinople fell, its scholars fled to Venice, Genoa, Florence, and Milan, beginning the Italian Renaissance. We owe a tremendous debt to the Roman (Byzantine) Empire, a fact that is largely forgotten today.

Middle age (Dark Age) for europe periode not for the middle east and africa and east Asia -_ *Borring topic

Wait, Joan of Arc was a transvestite that’s fucking brilliant

Well Documented And Narrated

You should fix the title to reflect that this is Eurocentric history. There were many things happening in other parts of the world that also deserve attention.

Explain medieval in a sentence:

The demonization of the soul.

So .. at the end, you're saying we kill all politicians and rich people and that'll bring about another Renaissance? Interesting...... ;)

Isn’t it funny how as Rome fell Christianity replaced it? One political system for another. Both useful to control populations.

Incredible

This video is funny because the "highlights" it lists for the middle ages are mostly tragic wars!

Spread of Christianity was not a “great stride” forward. Geez.

Europe is not the world.

A lot of good stuff happened in the Middle Ages! Names Christianity and a bunch of other horrible things

What if reptiles dragons dinosaurs kings and gods where Just smart artists who where open minded sociopaths and better billdings and palaces created by egiptians

This is the kind of soft-pedaling history they teach to 5th graders.

The Middle Ages weren’t that bad…you have war, war, war, war, oh and Chaucer, to paraphrase your opening.

Cant believe u just skipped whole mongolian invasion like if its not killed less than bubonic plague lol

This was a very general and misleading video. Not impressive

Very groovy

Thank you very much.

"Christians... were often rounded-up by the Romans and forced to battle the fierce gladiators..." This is overly simplistic historical garbage.

Middle Ages, 1000 years, explained in 10 minutes, I guess you are catering for the baboons. There are billions of them. Tap into stupidity and you can’t go wrong

This video is so inaccurate. The fall of Rome led to what we know as the dark ages, and the byzantines weren’t the byzantines til after they had collapsed. That was a term later historians had given them, to distinguish them because the byzantines actually considered themselves simply the eastern Romans. The term Byzantine wasn’t widely used until after 1450s when they collapsed.
And that’s just 2 things I could be bothered to correct…

Informative. But I think you proved that the Middle Ages canNOT be explained in 10 minutes.
