THE EFFECTS OF THE FOURTH CRUSADES ON THE ETHNICAL STRUCTURE OF THE BALKANS

Abstract

The Latin army who captured İstanbul during the Crusade the Fourth occupied the city for 57 years. Meanwhile, the Byzantine sovereignty which had been divided into three regions such as Trabzon, İznik (Nicaea) and Epir completely lost its domination in Balkans. Blood is shed during the plunder in 1204 and the properties of the Church were pirated and this caused a permanent fraction between Byzantine and Latin people. The Byzantine which was financially surrounded by Venice and Genoa after the Crusade the Fourth, can no longer afford to establish a new navy force and can no longer have a strong army. This occasion allows the Bulgars, Serbians and Bosnians completely act independently in Balkans. The people of Epir living in Epir constituted a nation. At the beginning of the 13.th century, Venice which occupies the southern coasts of Balkans and numerous islands and cities in Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean turned into one of the strongest colonists of the Mediterranean. The Slavian people who had settled in the region once upon a time moved towards the north and they were substituted for the Greeks. The land which remained under the control of Byzantine after the crusade is the regions where the Greek people live. For that reason, Byzantine turns into a nation state after the 13.th century. And, the fury against the plunder of İstanbul turns into a nationalist movement among the intellectual gathered in İstanbul and Mistra. The Crusade Fourth which caused gradual collapse of Byzantine every century in terms of economy and military also facilitates the transition of Ottoman army to the Balkans. Upon the emerging of the Turks in the peninsula, the ethnical structure of the Balkans is also diversified. Those ethnical groups which easily converted in the new religion almost turn in to the sleeper cells under the Ottoman sovereignty and transfer their existence to the 20.th century.
