The Fourth Crusade: A Historical Misunderstanding
This meme depicts a historical irony regarding the Fourth Crusade, which diverted from its original goal to sack the Christian city of Constantinople in 1204. The animation shows a crusader confronting a religious figure in front of the Hagia Sophia. When the figure pleads that he is a Christian, the crusader asks what kind of Christian he is, highlighting the sectarian tensions between the Latin Catholic crusaders and the Eastern Orthodox Byzantines. This event remains one of the most significant and controversial moments of the Middle Ages, marking a major turning point in the relationship between the Western and Eastern churches.
There was no fourth crusade. The crusaders were excommunicated when they were still in Istria.
Crusaders were treating non-Catholics differently, but not slaughtering them. Basically the tensions came from having a latin patriarch in Orthodox cities. Other than that, most Christians in the Levant were helping the crusaders and the crusaders appreciated the help. Examples:
The Turks came and fucked them both.
If I am not mistaken, pope has feasted when a group of christians were slightered as they were heretics. To be honest I don't remember the specifics but I am pretty sure that this has happened. I asked Gemini: You are likely recalling the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of August
Aight here we go
Christianity destroyed Rome.
The church is THE MAIN REASON why constantinopolis fell. You can dislike the fcc you want , europe refused to help.
Nothing is homogeneous, nothing is equal. No matter what socialist try to force it on to you. Muslims are Shia and sunites, Christians are Orthodox or evangelist, Jews are .*dies explaining it
Constantinopel probably got screwed over the most by the crusades
This is like the middle east today.
