072: Turkic Origins: Part Two: Fall of the Gokturks

History of Modern Greece

After the Asheena tribe united all of the Turks in the Eurasian Steppe, the GokTurk Empire became the largest steppe empire, and Khaganate to that point in time. They controlled the Silk Road and became immensely wealthy and powerful. But all good things come to an end. Unfortunately, the empire did not survive a transfer of power, and the once mighty empire split and descended into civil war.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922 to the present day.
