Working on a small historical simulation asking whether the fall of Constantinople in 1204 could have been delayed—or structurally avoided—through administrative, fiscal, and military decisions.#1204#FourthCrusade#Byzantium#HistoricalSimulation#IndieDev

#OnThisDay in 1204, Crusaders from the #FourthCrusade sacked Constantinople & massacred its inhabitants, considered an outrageous sacrilege by European Christians at the time; #ApartheidIsrael is doing the same today in #Palestine, so #history is repeating itself...

log 12. Line art for a portrait of #AlexiosIII Angelos, created for an event illustration in my 1204 #Byzantine simulation project. The facial reference is based on the portrait from Mutinensis gr. 122; the imperial costume is inspired by his coinage. #byzantium #FourthCrusade

#OnThisDay in 1204, Crusaders from the #FourthCrusade sacked #Constantinople & massacred its inhabitants; Crusaders would later take Jerusalem & engage in the #EthnicCleansingOfPalestine's indigenous Muslim Arabs just as #ApartheidIsrael is doing today...

Venetian forces of the #FourthCrusade attacked #Constantinople on #ThisDayInHistory in 1203, briefly taking a section of the walls before being forced back by the #VarangianGuard. Emperor #AlexiosIII took a much larger force out to meet the #Crusaders, but chickened out and fled.

In 1204, the Fourth Crusade, manipulated by Venice, turned on its Christian ally. Crusaders breached the sea walls, looting the city. The Latin Empire was born from the chaos. #crusades #fourthcrusade

In 1204, the Fourth Crusade aimed for Jerusalem but sacked Constantinople to pay massive debts.

This shocking betrayal by holy warriors destroyed the Christian Byzantine capital.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1203, the armies of the #FourthCrusade arrived at #Constantinople (now #İstanbul). Relations with the #RomanEmpire had deteriorated by then, so the #Venetians skipped the #HolyLand to attack fellow Christians instead. They sacked the city on 12 April 1204.
