An international congress about the Fourth Crusade

[Ioulianos]

Exactly 800 years after the fall of Constantinople to the "Franks",an international congress is held about "Fourth Crusade and its consequences".Quite interesting!

Hi Ioulianos

Thanks for the link.
Without getting "heavy" about it, I would agree, it's a matter that seldom receives enough attention, and on the whole one on which Joe Public is generally completely clueless.

Frankly (pardon the pun) I think there is some embarrassment about it in Western culture, as this not one of the brightest examples of Western "straight dealing".

The start of modern Balkan politics??
