Alternate Timeline of the Byzantine Empire (473-1933)

by



Finally, after about a month since May 11th, it is now completed with a total of 1460 slides, yet a 1 hour of experience to watch. I could possibly make another alternative scenario like this however it takes a very long time so its very unlikely.

These events take place after the death of Leo I and near the end of the Western Roman Empire.

I will only show half of the songs here since I don’t know the names for the other songs, but let me know in the comments. (Note the songs listed here will be mixed and wont be in order)
Macedon Theme – Industrial (Civilization 6 OST) Tino Mori
Total War_ Attila – Main Menu Music (Hun Theme)
Bruckner _ Symphony No. 2 in C minor

  1. Note: Although it's completed there still should have been other stuff I could've added or fixed, such as a few errors I've noticed even though its alternate history. Even with the modern borders being used by the end I haven't thought much of it if they would gain more land northern or if Byzantium would last in modern times, but if I ever wanted to change that then I'll have to go through the pain of exporting it again (so this is the best I could do). So far this could be one of the best projects I've ever made (but not perfect).

  13. Интересное видео. Но 1:21:14 меня смутил: крымская война не началась бы из—за оскорбления христианских святынь, так как византия была бы православной страной, это раз. Даже если бы и началась, совершенно не ясно, га чей бы стороне она выступила: значит, английские, французские и сардинские эскадры не проникли бы через Босфор в Черное море.

  19. Why is there not a single clash with the Habsburgs and Venice and an alliance with the Safavids in 1739? Byzantium had a very weak fleet, why did it include islands?! But the main question is why the eastern territories were not captured by the Mongols: Hulagu and Timur? Especially Timur, because for him the destruction of Byzantium and its population (yes, genocide) means gaining absolute authority in the Islamic world and restoring the Caliphate.
