Besides the Ottoman invasion and conquest in 1453, you mean? Well, since it had become the richest empire in Europe it had brought about the envy of other regional powers. The Venetian Republic had even tricked, conquered and plundered Byzantium approximately 2 centuries earlier (much of Venice's riches come in fact from Byzantium), on the pretext of preparing for yet another crusade. I believe they were not the only crusaders to behave in this way.
