The Entire History of Greece in 11 minutes

Показать описание
Many of us are aware of the ancient greek civilization and it's massive impact on western history . However, the often overlooked part of greek history, the era of the great Byzantine Empire, is arguably of almost equal importance.
Following the fall of constantinople in 1453 the Byzantine Empire will collapse and the once proud greek people will become subjects to a new empire. The greek spirit survived throuh the times of foreign subordination and another greek state will be established in the 19th century. A state which continues to exist till this day.
Perhaps, 11 minutes are not enough to tell the story of the greek people in great detail. This however is not the aim of this video. I made this history documentary in order to tell greek history in its entirety in a way that is both entertaining and easily digestable. I hope you enjoyed this short summary of the long history of Greece!

The editing of this video alone took longer than the hours of an entire working week so please if you can, support the channel on PATREON:

significant omission : 1)Cycladic and Minoan civilization 3000-5000 bc
2) Trojan war 1250bc
3) Greek colonies all over the Mediterranean and black sea (Pelloponisian war judged to Sicily..)
4) Indogreek kingdoms (existed even when the Romans conquer Greek mainland.)
5) When Constantinople fall to Crusaders. There was 4-5 Greek kingdoms (Empire of Nickea, Empire of Trapzunt, Epirus Despotato, Kingdom of Athens and Mystra )
6) In Balcan wars North Epirus Region belonged to Greece . Some European powers blackmailed Greece to surrend this Greek region to Albania .
7) Greek Rebels won autonomy in North Epirus 1914

A couple of points missing:
1. Ottomans and Venetians were contemporaries. Ottomans never controlled the Ionian Islands of Greece (250k people in year 1800) between Greece and Italy (apart from Kefalonia for 20 years), Corfu, Ithaka, Lefkada etc.
Venetians also held Crete up until late 1600s and other islands for hundreds of years.
2. Also, Ancient Greeks colonized Southern Italy and Sicily from 800BCE (till about 200 BC).
Syracuse is an example today that has perhaps the best Ancient Greek Temple.

I think you downplay the significance of Greece city states in Asia Minor. They were settled much earlier than you depict, and Homer as well as many philosophers lived in Asia Minor. The city of Troy was in Asia Minor.

Ludwig I king of Bavaria was so obsessed about Greek culture that he changed how to write his kingdom's name using a greek-alphabet letter. Baiern (before) Bayern (since 1825).

That isn't every year by any archaeological and historical means. Where is the Minoan civilization 3650-1350 BCE (5650-3350 years ago) and Cycladic civilization 3300-2000 BCE (5300-4000 years ago)

And then the highly advanced Neolithic. research for example the 8000 year old civilization in central and North Greece that had multistory buildings, and architecture that was very advanced for it's time. This coincides with the oldest linear writing on the planet called the Dispilio tablet dated to 7300 years ago found in Kastoria, and the
Yura potteries with linear writing dated to 8000 years ago. These elements shows highly sophisticated of civilization even at 6000 BCE in Greece.


You start at 2000BCE at the Palatial times of the Minoans, but this is Middle Minoan period. So you completely miss out on 1500 more years of the Bronze age and then the Advanced Neolithic that I just mentioned a few pointers of.

4:20 Ptolemy has the picture of Seleucus, Seleucus has the picture of Ptolemy, and Antigonus has the picture of his son Demetrias.

Great video! However, and I might be wrong but I think you mixed up the portraits of Seleucus and Ptolemy. Keep up the great work!

I have an idea. Since North Macedonia has been historically disputed between Serbia and Bulgaria, has a naming dispute with Greece, and has a large Albanian population, and is also located exactly between Rome and Constantinople, To avoid future conflicts, we should all temporarily forget our differences and unite to form a new country. And I'm not talking about recreating the Byzantine Empire, that would imply a war with Turks and further expansion. No, we'll call this new country Holy Roman Empire.
