Lessons from Constantinople: Are We Next?

FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/uaDuH951hPw

Discover the timeless lessons from Constantinople’s fall and why they matter today in this deep dive into history and modern parallels. In this insightful episode, we explore a critical examination of how internal decay, economic turmoil, and betrayal led to the collapse of a once-mighty empire. Was it just cannons, or did greed and division seal Constantinople's fate? And more importantly, are we ignoring similar warning signs in today’s world of global trade wars, fragile alliances, and shifting power dynamics?

Through a unique perspective, we unpack the economic decay, political infighting, and external manipulations that left Byzantium vulnerable in 1453. Learn how the loss of trust, failing unity, and exploitation by rivals mirror the risks we face in 2025. This must-watch episode connects the dots between history and the challenges threatening our modern-day sovereignty, national pride, and communities.

As Jeremy Ryan Slate, a passionate historian and storyteller, I bring you an engaging breakdown, inspired by works like Roger Crowley’s "1453" and Steven Runciman’s "The Fall of Constantinople." Together, we’ll uncover the patterns of collapse and build actionable insights to strengthen your own "walls" in the face of uncertainty.
