What effect did the Fall of Rome have on the East Byzantium?

Answer 1

The fall of Rome caused control of much of Europe to be up for grabs, and this enabled the Byzantine and Arab empires to seize nations they needed strategically or wanted for resources. The fall of Rome also brought about the dissemination of Roman art and knowledge across the world.

Answer 2

The Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire. This is the only term the Romans used. Historians have coined the terms Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire in reference to the two halves of the empire when it was co-ruled by two co-emperors, one for each side. Byzantine Empire is also a term coined by historians to refer to the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

The fall of the west did not affect the east much. The problems in the west were remote from the east, which continued to prosper. Under Justinian I many of the lands lost in the west (Italy, Africa and part of Spain) were 'reconquered,' but they were soon lost.

The Byzantine Empire had to deal with its own problems in the east, especially invasions. The Arabs took over the Middle East south of Turkey and Egypt. The Slavs conquered much of the Balkan Peninsula.

A combination of the loss of the Western Empire and, especially, the loss of most of the non-Greek territories in the east led this empire to become centred on Greece and Greek in character. Greek replaced Latin as the language of this empire in 620.
