The 4th Crusade was called almost immediately after Richard the Lionheart's successes. Its intention was to deal a knock-out punch to the Ayyubid Dynasty and retake the Holy City of Jerusalem. But there is a problem: no one wants to go. When the Pope finally rallied enough Crusaders to go on Crusade, they spent all of their money on a fleet hired from the Venetian Republic, but the trouble with Venice, is that they also spent all of their money building the fleet, and they, too, are broke; so a last-minute change in plans saw the Crusader Army pointed away from the Holy Land, and directed at their local rivals in Dalmatia.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the Greek people's events 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.
