Alternative Title: Let's get Bizzy

"Byzantine Empire" is a term you might hear from time to time, and, if it's your first time hearing about it, they might seem to come out of nowhere. I mean, Greek Empire, you know who the Greeks are, Roman Empire you know who the Romans are, Arabian Empire, you know of modern day Arabs. But who are the Byzantines? Why do we call them that?
It has everything to do with medieval politics.

I thought I would try and up the production values for this one/alter the process a bit. Let me know what sticks and what didn't.

As of posting this video, I'm close to 200 subs and while I planned to do a semi-joke 100 sub Q&A, I might backburner that until there's more Q to A, as it were.
Also, if you're wondering about that HOI4 screenshot, it was a relatively lucky game using a fun loophole I found in the Greek missions to become byz but avoid the EEE reigning.
