How did the Avars contribute to the fall of the of the Byzantine empire?
The Avars first agreed to subjugate the unruly tribes on behalf of the Byzantine Empire in exchange for gold. When the Byzantine Empire could no longer pay the gold, the Avars raided their Balkan territories. As the Byzantines continually did not or could not pay the stipend asked by the Avars, they continued to raid the Byzantine lands.
What armies attacked the byzantine empire?
Goths, Huns, Sassanid Persia, Vandals, Ostrogoths, Avars, Slavs, Muslim Caliphate, Bulgaria, Rus', Normans, Crusader states, Seljuks, Anatolian beyliks, Ottomans and others
Which group began attacking the Byzantine Empire that began the call for the Crusades?
Probably the Seljuks as they inflicted a major defeat on the Byzantines at Manzikert in 1071; by the 1090s Anatolia was under Seljuk control, which probably prompted Alexios, the Byzantine Emperor, into asking Pope Urban II for knights, which starts the First Crusade. The Fatimids were probably also a pain as well, though probably less so. Also, the Byzantines also suffered from a series of revolts and coups, which seem to be standard of Byzantine life.
How did Byzantine empire decline?
The Byzantine Empire declined after the reign of Justinian I due to the over-stretching of the fiscal capabilities of the government. The lack of funding and the massive amount of money already spent on conquests quickly caused the immediate withdrawal of the majority of troops by his successor. However, by this time of Treasury of the Empire was already nearly empty.
When did the Roman Empire officially end and What happened?
There was not an official end for the western part of the Roman Empire. Historians have set 476 as a conventional date for its fall, but there are some historians who disagree with this. This was the year when the last emperor of the west, Romulus Augustus, was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic general who led a rebellion by Germanic soldiers of the Roman army in the west. By then this part of the empire had already lost most of its lands to invading Germanic peoples and former Germanic allies: North Africa to the Vandals, Spain and south-western France to the Visigoths, eastern France to the Burgundians, northern France to the Franks and Britannia to the Angles, the Saxon and the Jutes. In 486 the Franks took over the Domain of Soissons, a Roman rump state in central France. In 488 Zeno, the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire sent Theodoric the Great, the King of the Ostrogoths and one of his allies, to Italy to depose Odoacer. Theodoric established the kingdom of the Ostrogoths, which covered Italy and much of the former Yugoslavia. Therefore, the western part of the Roman Empire was carved up by Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the invasions which led to the fall of the western part and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate this part of the empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not even know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. It suffered losses as well. It lost territories to the Arabs: eastern Libya and Egypt (641-46), Palestine (634-36) and, by 640, Syria. In 1068-71 the Seljuk Turks took over most of Anatolia (present day Turkey). In Europe, the empire lost part of its lands in the Balkan Peninsula (in south-eastern Europe) to the Slavs. In 582 the Avars took over Dalmatia (coastal Croatia). Probably in the 610s, the emperor Maurice invited the Croatians to settle there, where they defeated the Avars. In 680 the Bulgarians invaded what are now Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia, and a treaty with the empire in 681 marked the beginning of the First Bulgarian Empire. In c. 780 the Serbs established the Principality of Serbia in part of what is now Serbia. In 971 the emperor Basil II seized the capital Preslav and suppressed a Bulgarian revolt in 1014. In 1185 the Bulgarians regained their land and established the Second Bulgarian Empire. In 1202-04 there was the Fourth Crusade, where an expedition for Western Europe was meant to reconquer Jerusalem. However, they ended up seizing and sacking Constantinople, the capital of the empire. The crusaders established the Latin Empire which comprised most of Greece and the area in north-western Anatolia along the shores of the Sea of Marmora This empire lasted from 1204 to 1261. It did not manage to take all the lands of the Byzantine Empire and three new states were created in the territories which had not been taken: The Despotate of Epirus (in western Greece), the Empire of Nicaea, which comprised the remaining territories in western and northern Turkey which had not been conquered by the Seljuk Turks, and the Empire of Trebizond, in the far northeaster corner of the peninsula of Anatolia and southern Crimea. In 1247, the Nicaeans surrounded Constantinople, which fell in 1261. The Byzantine Empire was restored, but Epirus and Trebizond continued as independent Byzantine states. The Ottoman Turks became a big power and by 1324 they captured the empire's territories in Anatolia (Turkey). In 1387 they captured Thessaloniki, in Greece, which was the second most important city in the empire. In 1389 they defeated the Serbs at the Battle of Kosovo, ending Serb power in the region, paving the way for their expansion into Europe. In 1444, Murad II defeated a combined Hungarian, Polish, and Wallachian force. By then the Byzantine Empire had become confined to the lands around Constantinople, which was besieged and conquered in 1453. This city was turned into the capital of the Ottoman Empire. In 1460 they conquered the Despotate of the Morea, in the Peloponnese Peninsula of southern Greece. This was a which was a province of the Byzantine Empire which was formed in 1349 when this area was wrested from the Frank crusaders who had conquered it and turned it into the Principality of Achaea in 1204. In 1461 the Ottomans conquered the Empire of Trebizond and in 1479 they conquered the Despotate of Epirus.
