Dude, it's istanbul, not constantinople.
Been a long time gone, constantinople.

he picked their emperor's eyes out
>why?
because the cuntess got him jailed for wanting to head home and leave the varangians, she had the hots for him and didn't want him to leave.

Yes the byzantians was the cucks of the time, they probably played nintendo all day long, and chicks don't like that

so escaped, then he poked his eyes out as punishment

Daily reminder that the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Edirne/Adrianopel, was located WEST of Constantinople and therefore CLOSER to Europe!

Blame the Venetians for initially betraying them in the Fourth Crusade

>taking Sup Forums seriously

...

those dirty fucking turks are shitting the place up
cmon white people do something

Sup Forums is a highly populated anonymous board that isnt reddit
rare. its unironically the last bastion of free speech and it kills me to say that

Also - The ottoman Janissaries that broke through a breach in the wall were around 13-16 years old.


Eastern Roman empire literally got BTFO by a bunch of 13-16 year old muzza's

man I'm getting drunk, I'm listening to folk songs, this one is about russia

those were lit kids taken from their parents at the balkans btw

I guess child soldiers is not a new thing.....

they didn't just neglect to defend it, Christians literally sacked the empire and left its corpse for the Muslims to have

im sure those little fuckers were hard to get a good stab into

We conquered it first in 1204. Shamefu dispray by the Venetians and Franks.

Roman Legions were the same

Front line = 13-16
Second line = 16-19
Third line = 19-25
Fourth line = 25+

The idea was the under-ages would get minced and only the best would survive, so by the time they hit 25 (if they managed so) they had tons of experience.

The most experienced soldiers fighting last against a tired as fuck enemy who had to expend tons of energy fighting the underage inexperienced front line.

there was no empire left by that point, it was only a city.
unfortunately rome had been raped by then. See earlier point re 4th Crusade: 1204.
Its not like the 2nd and 3rd were that lucky either, as far as Crusades go.
Richard the Lionheart did his part, but he had to go back to England.
Things would have been different if Barbarossa didn't drown in a stream like a n00b.

BTW i think the age range was more so around the following

15-20
20-25
30-35
40+

Early Roman legions were younger though.

>what is 4th crusade and occupation of constantinople by latins for 60 years where they stole all art and gold, ruined the city, which led to decline of christianity in anatolia and decline of byzantine empire
>what is crimean war and help of anglos and latins to ottomans against russia
>what is russo turkish war and threatening of anglos to go into war if russia takes over constantinople
>what is promising of constantinople to russians by anglos in ww1 if they win the war and later on selling the palestine to jews so usa could go into war and replace russia because they funded the communists with jews and usa to take over the tsar behind his back so they could take constantinople for themselves, and give it back to turks after 5 years anyways

im too tired for this but why so many fuck ups in history, its like alien intervention or something

every Christian army sent against the Ottomans got wrecked big time. They tried though. Of course Timur the Mongol show up and kick Ottoman ass and then go home after getting bored.

anglos

Man, fuck the anglos! We had a chance in 1877 to take Constantinople and the fucking brits had to rush to save their mohammed masters.

>every
If you listen closely you could hear a polish king laughing very hard from his grave at your post.

>because of christianity we were saved

fucking lol, when was pagan/ancient Europe conquered by a foreign peoples, like during christian times.

byzantines complained about the lack of able bodied men, as many went to monasteries

What do you mean? Constantine XI was found surrounded by 50 dead turks. Some fought to defend the city.

Reminder, Muslims could never conquer pagan rome or fermans or slavs.

Reminder Pagan Mongols exterminated muslims in their peak.

Let's not forget that some of the "famous"

were working together with the Sultan Mehmed II out of their own free will

More precise - Serbs were employed to undermine the walls of Constantinopole. Done it for the schekels. Now larping as kebab removers.
