>Despite their oaths and the threat of excommunication, the Crusaders systematically violated the city's holy sanctuaries, destroying or stealing all they could lay hands on; nothing was spared, not even the tombs of the emperors inside the St Apostles church. The civilian population of Constantinople were subject to the Crusaders' ruthless lust for spoils and glory; thousands of them were killed in cold blood. Women, even nuns, were raped by the Crusader army, which also sacked churches, monasteries and convents.

It's even funnier because Commodore Biddle tried to open up Japan several years prior but the Japanese told him to fuck off and then a Japanese soldier either pushed or punched the Commodore. Biddle, not wanting to start a war, just got up and left and the Japanese all laughed and assumed America was full of push overs. They were more impressed when Perry came.

>>1402875
To be fair, the Cathars' organization and dogma made it basically impossible for them to spread too far.
>>1402875
To be fair, the Cathars were more Gnostic than Christian (they use a lot of the same sources, but are very different religions -- it's like calling Muslims Christians).
>>1402894
Or like calling Mormons Christians.
>>1402898
Yeah. Islamic theology and practice is probably closer to Christianity than Mormonism is. Yet for some reason we consider Mormons Christians... because they have Jesus, I guess? Well, so do Muslims.
>>1402947
Accepting that Jesus is Christ makes you Christian. Mormons do that, Muslims don't.

Is there a context for this? Or does it refer to when Australia was an exile destination?
>>1404494
Britain sent their convicts (prisoners) to Australia to work as laborers in the new colony. In fact, the vast majority of the early settlements/Sydney/NSW were convicts. Once things became established a civilian gov't took over which led to civilians being imported en masse to develop a proper society. But to this day Straya is joked-about as a prison colony full of convicts and the ancestors thereof. I'm an American/Australian dually and Strayans genes are convict af if you ask me.

This is a really shitty rip off of the ottoman one. The byzantines were literally the roman empire continued and no one will disagree with that.
The joke with the ottoman one was that ottomans at one point claimed to be the continuation of the romans, but held no legitimate claim to such.
Whoever made this either doesn't understand comedy or history. Either way, it's complete shit and is the last funny thing in this thread by far.

The Byzantines were literally the same Roman state that began in 27 BC when Augustus became Princeps Civitatis, the Ottomans don't have any claim to that at all.

My version (which I think it's the same as this one) even mentions an older version that said that all of Theodora's "misdeeds" were best kept in the obscurity of a learned language, and literally proceeded to quote the original Greek instead of translating it.

Nikaea is not my emperor, okay?
>>1405658
I think he's referring to Nikeaeaeaeaea's claim through marriage after the empire was shattered in 1204.
>>1406231
It wasn't much different from any other Roman conflict. It was just a regime change of the same civilization.
>>1406243
The Roman Empire was LITERALLY shattered. All the previous civil wars still had one of the participants in control of Rome. The Latin Empire had Constantinople.
>>1406074
>and literally proceeded to quote the original Greek instead of translating it.
you mean literally makes up a bunch of nonsense right?
>>1406243
Nope, Rome ended in 1202.
Germanic barbarians ended the WRE in 476, and Germanics barbarians came again to finish the job in 1202.
The

is as "Roman" as the Gothic Kingdoms that sprung up in Italia, Gallia and Hispania after the fall of the WRE, or indeed, the Ottoman Empire that proceeded it.
>>1406274
I don't get your point, are you implying that the Secret History wasn't written in Greek?
>>1405658
You are retarded if you think that after the third century crisis, the dominus, the tetrarchy, and the adoption of christianity that the Byzantines retained anything significant from the Principate.
The Byzantines had a significantly more claim then the ottoman turk and the hilariously named "sultan of Rum" but don't claim that Constantine's reign was anything similar to Augustus's.
