Many people are talking about the political impact and possible military consequences of this matter, as well as the hidden concerns of nuclear war. According to Americans, this crisis is more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.

Crimea Bridge was blown up, Kyiv was blown up. It became the focus of public opinion for a time.

Many people are talking about the political impact and possible military consequences of this matter, and the hidden concerns of nuclear war.

The crisis, according to Americans, is : more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.

This is of course a hot topic, but as a historical author, how to find historical attributions in hot topics is my wish.

So this article is about Europe, civilization and history, and Crimea's change of the world.

Only by looking at the present is considered history as a lesson. The article is long, so you will gain something if you stay patient.

This time, we start with Roman Empire and see the story after the origin of culture.

: The West is inseparable from Rome, Rome is a student of Greek civilization, and Greek is a student of Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilization.

When you learn the school district, you will have their own characteristics.

If the characteristics of Greek civilization were in the era of the city-state, they were in a state of competing with each other and were never unified like today's EU .

The characteristics of Roman civilization are: when strong expansion, cultural inclusion, carrots, sticks and alliances were used to form a seemingly unified empire, similar to the United States today.

Its birth started from the Roman city on the banks of the Tiber River. By establishing the Latin Alliance, it laid the foundation for the Apennines, and then continued to erode the Greek colonies, becoming a medium-sized power in one fell swoop. After becoming a medium-sized power, he completely defeated Carthage through three Burno wars and gained the hegemony of the Mediterranean!

This hegemony means the birth of a classical maritime power power country.

then annexed the entire Greece, and around the empire era, annexed Gaul, Egypt and Syria, making Mediterranean the empire sea.

The only Western Europe at that time was not conquered, the only one who was not conquered was the Germanic , which defeated Rome in the Battle of Teutonic Forest.

This also brought the European landscape to an era when the Germans fought against Latin people and divided Europe.

As for the former largest group of Europe, after the joint suppression, most of them went away from British and became today's Scots . (There are many that are integrated)

(the era of civilization coexistence)

European territory entered the era of Rome, Greece, Germanic, and three civilizations coexistence.

The most influential was Rome. Through conquest, they spread Latin culture to the Mediterranean coast and Gaul, and also influenced the Germans. The most tenacious thing about

is Germanic. They maintain the purity of the ethnic group and gradually form a unique Germanic culture after absorbing Roman culture. The most advanced thing about

is Greek civilization, because of this advanced nature, Latin culture has always retained respect for Greek culture.

Finally, this respect also gave Rome a split support.

Of course, that's a story later.

Because of the strong Roman Empire, after turning the Mediterranean into the inland sea, it was the undisputed strongest king at that time.

(Mediterranean world)

can be at its peak and decline.

The crisis in the third century and the subsequent barbarian invasions made the Roman Empire crumbling, so a capital was moved.

On May 11, 330, Constantine I of Rome chose to move the capital Byzantine , completing the eastward movement of the empire's basic plate.

As for the reason for moving the capital!

The Western slavery economy collapsed in the empire, and the Eastern serfdom economy developed well, making Rome rich and poor in the east. This is one of them.

The geopolitical advantage of Constantinople allows Rome to control the trade route from Azov -Black Sea -Aegean -Mediterranean , supplementing finance, is the second.

The threat of Germanic in the north and Persian allows Rome to get rid of the barbarians and find a safe place. This is the third reason.

The Roman Empire legalized Christianity and designated it as the state religion, and then moved to the East where Christianity was spread more widely and easier to gather the hearts of the people. This is the fourth one. The last and most important thing about

is.

Greek culture has been reproductive and developing in Roman civilization and never declined. Instead, it became a family after integrating with Roman culture, which made the eastern part of the empire more stable than the western part.

As expected, after these layers of cause and effect, the Roman Empire, which had not been moved for a long time, began to split, and finally became two empires in the east and west.

Western Roman Empire , under the impact of the barbarians and the economic crisis , it was destroyed by the Germans shortly after persisting. This made Western Europe a Germanic cultural territory, but Eastern Rome, which continued Roman and Greek culture and maintained the so-called Roman orthodox.

, but this orthodox status has still encountered countless shocks, including the attack of Eastern Slavs .

(Eastern Slavs)

How did the Eastern Slavs come from? It has something to do with the mysterious race Avar and Mazar people!

Aval origin is unknown, there is a saying that it originated from the northern and southern dynasties in China. The Mazar people are the main ethnic group of today's Hungarian .

Their invasion of Europe caused the Slavs , which was originally active in the Vistula River Basin in Poland, to suffer. The Slavs who could not win were fleeing everywhere and divided into three groups.

went west and settled in the area of ​​today's Polish and Czechoslovakia , becoming the Western Slavs.

went south and settled in today's Balkans and became Yugoslav.

went east, settled in today's Eastern European plains , becoming the common ancestor of Russia and Ukraine, the Eastern Slavs.

(Slavs diversion)

After escaping from the ancestral land, the situations of these three branches are also different.

The Western Slavs : In the early days, they were disliked by the Germans in Western Europe, and finally they were accepted after integrating into Catholicism.

Yugoslav: After entering the Balkans, he had been mingling with Eastern Rome and believed in Christ, but under the background of religious division, he became an Orthodox believer due to the division of Eastern and Western Roman sects, and later was conquered by Arabs .

This made the Balkans a frontline for confrontation between the East and the West, and a gathering place for the three major sects, and laid the foreshadowing for later becoming the Balkan powder keg.

Eastern Slavs: After entering the Eastern European plains, they were the worst because the place was too cold, the productivity was underdeveloped, the population was not large, and they were always in the era of clan and tribal alliances, and civilization lags behind and is unpopular.

But this barbarian who no one likes has become a powerful country that influences Europe and even the world after being influenced by advanced civilization. It has to be said that history is too interesting.

ps: After the Roman Empire split Christianity also split. Eastern Roman Empire looked down on Roman Catholicism influenced by Germanic, so he made Orthodox religion, meaning serious Christianity.

(Slavs diversion)

This advanced civilization influence comes from the Germans.

The Germans who destroyed the Western Roman Empire were not indigenous people in Western Europe. They were foreigners who migrated from Sweden , Norwegian , and Denmark to Western Europe. After joining forces with the Latins to squeeze the living space of Celtics, they became the main group of the large Germanic ( German area).

This group of people destroyed Western Rome in 402 AD and established many Germanic countries such as Vandal, Frank, East and West Gothic on the original imperial territory.

The fruit of victory of the Nordic ancestors has allowed the Germans who stayed in Nordics to see an example. Under the role of role models, Europe ushered in: Viking Pirates

When Viking Pirates roamed Europe, the division of labor was clear.

left: They invaded the coastal areas of Britain and western France along the strait.

Middle: They go deep into the Mediterranean and the core of Central Europe along the rivers and seas, looting the church’s wealth.

East: They went south along the river and invaded the Eastern Slavs.

(line map)

862 Nordic Norman Liurik appeared.

He brought the Wagliang tribe and invited the Eastern Slavs to rule the Eastern Slavs. (Russian History)

This weird reason should be that after gaining dominance, the Normans put gold on their faces in order to be rational and rational. After this round of decoration, the relatively civilized Nordic people led the Slavs to establish the Liurik dynasty, and also nurtured the source of the three countries of Russia, White and Ukraine: Kiev Russ .

Before and after the birth of Kievan Rus, the Nordic Vikings have always been a semi-pirate and half-merchant. They often traded with Eastern Rome, and with the help of trade, they chose to convert to Orthodox Church and further feudalize it. Under the influence of Eastern Rome, the prototype of Greek letters was created in the Russian prototype " Cyrillic letters".

This continuous trade has made the Black Sea prosperous, and has also made Crimean Peninsula , located in the Sea of ​​Azov, a trade node.

At that time, Byzantine Empire was in poor condition, and even Kievan Rus had the intention of swallowing an elephant by snakes! When Igor 2 was in power, he attacked Byzantium twice in 941 and 944, ravaged the suburbs of Constantinople, and forced Romanus I to sign a trade treaty.

(Eastern Slavs)

Kievan Rus' offense made Byzantium in a panic, while Turkic threat made Byzantium panic.

The powerful Arab Empire fell into division and decline in the second half of the 9th century AD. The decline of the Arab Empire caused the suppressed Turks to rise up.

This Turkic people were also rich before being conquered by Arabia.

They expanded their territory all the way during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. Not only did they suppress the Central Plains dynasty, but they also assimilated the Scythians entrenched in Central Asia into Turkic people.

Later, this group of assimilated Turks continued to advance westward, and Bingfeng even arrived at the Crimean Peninsula. They were strong and made Byzantium admit defeat and sign the treaty, which was the earliest world-class nomadic empire: the Turkic Empire.

But this nomadic empire had a short period of prosperity.

The rise of Sui and Tang and the new Arab Empire made the Turks suffer a joint blow from left and right, first split into the East and West Turkic Empire, and later swept by Tang Dynasty Military God Li Jing .

After the demise of the Turkic Empire, the Turks calmed down, and were assimilated by the Arab Empire during this period and became a Muslim country!

, but these Turks have always had reverse bone .

They waited and waited, and waited, and in the 10th century, they were surprised to find that the Arab Empire, which had a headache for them, had weakened and the Tang Dynasty was gone. Of course, this would have to do a big deal!

(Seljuk Turkic Empire)

So the Seljuks among the Turks began to conquer the years.

They went westward, occupied all the territories of the Byzantine Empire except the core area of ​​the Balkans, and established the Seljuk Turkic Empire (1037-1194).

The rise of this group of Turks has caused Byzantine misfortunes and also brought a group of people to Eastern Europe, further changing the world.

They followed and arrived at the Turkic branch of Crimea, : Qinzha people .

After the Qinzha people occupied Crimea and nearby nomadic areas in , they became a powerful existence that cannot be ignored in Eastern Europe. The root of this power of

is that it has a lot of combat power.

, although the combat power is strong and wise, it is not much, which makes this group of people fooled by the Venetians.

The savvy Venetian businessman understands that Crimea is a key node of the Sea of ​​Azov, Caspian , and the Mediterranean Trade Network. Business demands make them wonder if they can fool the naive sheep brothers. How to fool

? Give them money to be mercenaries .

So, the Venetians began the earliest slave trade.

They used money to tempt the temptation to sell a large number of Chingshi to Egypt as mercenaries. The Chingshi who are mercenaries also has an nickname : Mamluk .

(Mamluk Cavalry)

After reading this, I guess many history enthusiasts will think, isn’t this the name of the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt?

Yes, that's true!

Not long after becoming Egyptian mercenaries, these men occupied the nest and became the ruler of Egypt.

I have to say that this Turkic people are really interesting.

They advanced westward from northern China, settled in Crimea, and then went to Egypt through the Venetian fleet, and finally founded a country in Egypt. This trip was a miracle.

The existence of Seljuk Turkic , from 1037 to 1194, after occupying Baghdad in 1055, won the title of Sultan and became the strongest king in the Islamic world.

(the world of Khwarezm)

But this strongest king was destroyed by an unknown country more than a hundred years later.

It is Khwarezm.

Khwarezm, I believe many people know from the story of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition.

A caravan was massacred and Genghis Khan was furious, and he destroyed the arrogant Khwarezm.

After destroying Khwarezm, Genghis Khan was still unsatisfied. Paisubutai and Zhebo continued to walk to see if there are any enemies in the west.

's advance destroyed many Qinzha tribes and attacked "Oros", which is Kiev Rus. We all know what happened next in

!

Genghis Khan and his Mongolian Empire used several Western expeditions to kill today's Austrian in one breath, making Europeans exclaim the whip of God.

After God whipped Europe, Mongols established a powerful golden tent Han country in Eastern Europe, and many Ross city-states also became vassals of the Khanate. The entire Eastern European grasslands, including Crimea, were the territory of the Mongols.

But Mongolia's unique inheritance system broke the empire into four pieces!

The Khanate of the Golden Horde in Badu, the Il Khanate of Hulagu, the Chagatai Khanate of Chagatai, and the Yuan Dynasty of Kublai Khan.

After the split, the Mongol Empire, although the Yuan Dynasty had an orthodox status, was only nominal.

(Three Khanate and Yuan Dynasty)

After this situation lasted for more than a hundred years, the Venetians triggered a new situation. Why is

Venetian again? Because doing business.

requires a transit station to do business. The best thing is Crimea, a peninsula with its back to the mainland and is in front of it.

But at that time, the Golden Horde was still strong. Crimea was under the rule of the Golden Horde, so he would definitely not win. How to do

?

The Venetians decided to use the same trick again and deceive the Mongolians.

The Venetians have rich experience in fooling the matter. They used to fool the Qinzhai people into making a lot of money when they went to Egypt as cattle and horses, but now they can fool the Mongolians easily.

After a round of gold and dollar offensive, the Venetians successfully bought Crimea with their money.

The people of the Golden Horde did not understand high-end business methods, nor did they care much about their territory. Instead, they increased their money. They happily agreed to the conditions of Venice, and also allowed the Venetians to make a lot of small money with the conditions of trade in Crimea.

You said, who is not jealous of this profitable transaction?

Not long after, following the Venetians' pace, the Genoese also landed in Crimea and competed with the Venetians' business.

(Crimea)

The Crimea Peninsula is bustling and prosperous.

Luxury goods from the East have become a shortage of goods sold to the West by the Italian city-states through transportation by the Mongolians.

slaves from the Turks and the Qinzha were acquired through the Italian city-state and sold to Egypt, and became a shortage of goods.

, which made countless money in trade, Venice and Genoa , became the richest commercial republic in Europe.

Decades later, the Golden Horde has come back!

What do you use to make money? They sell large quantities of Qinzha and Turkic slaves on the grassland.

Although I can make money by buying and selling, this commercial benefit is not important compared to human resources losses and soldiers.

The angry Golden Horde launched an attack in 1345, besieging the Venetian-controlled Crimean city of Farca.

We all know that the Mongolians are riding and shooting, but they cannot siege the city. In addition, Mongolia has no navy, so the besieged Kafa City can stand firm with its continuous sea supply and city defense advantages.

When I saw this situation, the Mongolians had no choice!

The siege of the city was fought for more than two years. Until 1347, the bodies of the Mongolian army killed the plague rampant.

, a plague that relies on mice to spread, is fierce, and the Mongolians who don’t like to be clean are hit one after another.

Once infected, it will continue to have high fever and continuous nosebleeds, and lumps appear behind the ears, under the armpits, and the inner thighs, causing severe subcutaneous bleeding, turning the skin into purple-black, and eventually die. Because when death, the skin is black and purple, it is also called the Black Death.

The spread of the epidemic, coupled with the long-term failure to defeat, the unwilling Mongolians thought of a crazy way.

They actually loaded their own bodies into a catapult cart and threw them into the city of Kafa by ejection.

should be considered the earliest biochemical attack!

The defenders in Kafa City opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the corpse falling from the sky, and experienced the horror under the corpse that was like rain.

(siege of Farka City)

After the horror, even more terrifying things came.

The corpse carries a virus, which inevitably spreads the virus into the city.

Anyone who has been exposed to a corpse will be caught.

When the situation was not good, the merchants who were guarding the city began to cherish their lives.

Then they ran away, and this run brought the virus to the Mediterranean Italian city-state.

Italian city-states are all traders, and this group of people run around all day, further aggravating the spread of the virus.

In a short period of time, the plague swept across Europe.

Because I don’t know that mice are also hosts for spreading the virus, Europeans have always been unaware of how to cut off the source of the virus, which has caused serious disasters, and about 25 million Europeans died of the Black Death.

This is the consequence of the wars in the Crimean region.

Of course, this consequence also made Europe a blessing in disguise, losing the orthodoxy of Rome, but reaping the dawn of a new era. Why do

say that?

caused heavy losses to Europe due to the Black Death epidemic, and also allowed the rising Ottoman Empire to take advantage of the competition with Europe.

The Ottoman Empire was powerful in combat. After conquering all the way, it successfully occupied the entire Balkan area.

The European tradition of infighting and the calculations of commercial city-states Venice and Genoa put the Byzantine Empire in isolation and helplessness.

In 1453 AD, Constantinople fell, the former birthplace of European civilization, ancient Greece completely became the territory of the Ottoman Empire, Europe lost its last Roman orthodox. As for Russia's so-called Third Rome, no one seems to recognize it.

But this plague originated from Crimea has also brought new life to Europe.

was questioned after a plague because of the authority of the church.

The church has tried every means, but it still cannot curb the spread of the Black Death. The Black Death is characterized by death by everyone, which also makes the church clergy lose its halo. Europeans discovered that God cannot protect the church believers!

can't even shelter a disease. Is this church really that useful?

There are more people thinking, the authoritative church and the pope gradually lose their aura, and the medieval Catholic system ushered in an era of great collapse.

What followed was the Reformation, the Renaissance, the opening of new routes, and the light of technology that changed mankind.

traces back to history and look at the present!

In fact, the history of human civilization is a history of war, civilization, trade and interests entanglement.

Why did the conflict in Crimea arise? The conflict of civilizations is the cause. The confrontation between the camp is the main theme, and the demand for interests is the explosive point.

To be honest, after thousands of years of civilization history and the only difference between humans and primates is that when they put on clothes, the essence has not changed!

This fate, which is like a curse, has been in Crimea. The focus of this conflict has continued and has never stopped from ancient times to the present.

So, how can such conflicts and problems be resolved?

The existence of peace is always related to economic abundance. When major breakthroughs in scientific and technological development make productivity gains qualitatively change, many problems will no longer be problems.

In the final analysis, technology is the primary productive force and the driving force of peace, and development is the hard truth.
