This episode features hosts J and Colin discussing the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire. Here we delve into a comprehensive historical overview, spanning 1100 years, exploring key themes like the empire’s slow erosion due to continual conflicts, particularly with Islamic caliphates, and its strained relationships with Western Europe. In this episode we emphasize the Byzantine Empire’s significance as a successor to the Roman Empire and how its eventual fall in 1453 to the Ottomans marked a pivotal moment in world history. Like always Collin and J aim to connect these historical events to current affairs, offering insights and drawing parallels to modern times.
