L*tins deserved every sword cut

So you gonna post this daily or something

>Kills thousands of Catholics
>Gets asshurt when crusaders retaliates and sacks Constantinople

Yes, until you Greek sub humans pay for your crimes.

I've never heard of this, does this explain the fourth crusade?

Yup
>The worsening relationship culminated with the brutal sack of the city of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, which led to the permanent alienation of Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics. The massacre itself however remains relatively obscure, and Catholic historian Warren Carroll notes that "Historians who wax eloquent and indignant—with considerable reason—about the sack of Constantinople ... rarely if ever mention the massacre of the Westerners in ... 1182."[13]

>Kill everybody
>Take their stuff
History of the crusades

>wealthy foreigners establish enclaves in your capital and displace natives
>slowly start buying up and subverting institutions of your homeland
>they gain control of important industries and secure unfair advantages for their countrymen at the expense of the empire and its subjects

I wonder why there was such animosity.

this sounds very (((familiar)))...

>Some Latin immigrants decided to move to Constantinople for economic opportunities.
>They do very well and become some of the wealthiest merchants in the city.
>Local get jealous and committed some of the worst atrocities in human history.

*Locals

C*tholics aren't people, so who gives a shit lmao

P*pists deserved worse, and they got it when the Turks started enslaving then by the millions and stole all of Venice's colonies.
Has there ever been a more complete blowback in human history?

They were exempt from paying any commercial taxes and sued this advantage to secure a monopoly on nearly all trade.

Looks like the Gr*eks are morally bankrupt.

Greeks never pay their debts.

PAY DEBT

>>kill everybody
>>take their stuff
>History of the crusades
You mean: history of what CAUSED the crusades, right?

You realize that the catholic austrians ultimately pushed back the turks, right? The greeks by contrast had to wait for the british to help them get out from under the control of the turkroaches by contrast.

You mean the same British that prevented the Russians from recapturing Constantinople and parts of Anatolia?

>You realize that the catholic austrians
A country that didn't even exist when the Massacre and the Fourth Crusade occurred?
Who cares.

>Russians from recapturing Constantinople and parts of Anatolia
That would've been so cumworthy.

How then do you explain the northern crusades?

...

>tfw megali idea failed

...

Prove me wrong.
Rate my Megali.

LATINS DIDNU NUFFIN THEY WERE GOOD BOIS

>The predominance of the Italian merchants caused economic and social upheaval in Byzantium: it accelerated the decline of the independent native merchants in favour of big exporters, who became tied to the landed aristocracy, who in turn increasingly amassed large estates.[1] Together with the perceived arrogance of the Italians, it fueled popular resentment amongst the middle and lower classes both in the countryside and in the cities.[1]

>The religious differences between the two sides, who viewed each other as schismatics, further exacerbated the problem. The Italians proved uncontrollable by imperial authority: in 1162, for instance, the Pisans together with a few Venetians raided the Genoese quarter in Constantinople, causing much damage.[1] Emperor Manuel subsequently expelled most of the Genoese and Pisans from the city, thus giving the Venetians a free hand for several years.[7]

>In early 1171, however, when the Venetians attacked and largely destroyed the Genoese quarter in Constantinople, the Emperor retaliated by ordering the mass arrest of all Venetians throughout the Empire and the confiscation of their property.there were also mass rapesand burning houses. A subsequent Venetian expedition in the Aegean failed: a direct assault was impossible due to the strength of the imperial forces, and the Venetians agreed to negotiations, which the Emperor stalled intentionally. As talks dragged on through the winter, the Venetian fleet waited at Chios, until an outbreak of the plague forced them to withdraw.[8]

No, the 4th crusade happened for different reasons. Latinboos just used it as an excuse to justify their massive fuck up while ignoring the Constantinople chimpouts and the Venetian crusade.

You realise you have answered your own question in the links you provided? Or did you just come here to shitpost?
>Latin Merchants migrate to Byzantium and Constantinople
>Start exploiting the shit out of it with exports
>Start mass economic upheaval in the whole empire
>Start to infighting each other, causing massive damage for byzantine government
>After they get arrested, they spreg out and start declaring wars and sponsoring uprisings in the empire
>Local populace gets extremely triggered and populist leader Andronikos usurpes and kills pro-latin government and allows locals to massacre latin traders...
Personally i don't even care about if they were catholics or latins. Globalist, opportunistic merchants deserve even worse.

orthoLARPers will defend this but cry about muh 4th crusade

catholiKEK's worst nightmare.

Orthocucks deserved to get raped by crusaders and Turks.

>literally loose everything you develop in the east and currently in crushing debt after being genocided by the Turks and ass raped by the Nazis
Desu if Latins would be paying for their crimes Rome would look like the Arabian desert.

>C*tholics
>P*pists
>Gr*eks
can someone explain this?
