What was the cause of the decline of the Byzantine Empire?
Elwin Williamson
It was constantly attacked by foreign armies, such as the Venetian crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204 AD. This severely weakened the Empire and left it vulnerable to the Ottoman Turks who seized the empire in 1453 AD.

2.) Sack of Constantinople (~1204) The Fourth Crusade was short on funds, so the Venetians agreed to provide transport if the crusaders would intervene on their behalf in a dynastic struggle. Constantinople never really recovered, and Venice became the leading commercial empire of the Mediterranean.
3.) Battle of Adrianople (~1365) At this point, Constantinople started to become surrounded, by being cut off from the Balkans. In the next few decades, the Ottomansadvanced to the Danube, and past it in some places. In the process, many of the Balkan leaders agreed to become Ottoman vassals.
By that point, Constantinople was like a fruit ready to by plucked...

How did the Crusades affect the Byzantine Empire?
The crusades, originally intended to save the Byzantine Empire, among other things, failed to do this and hastened its decline instead. The crusaders sacked Byzantine cities and eventually captured Constantinople in 1204. They then used Constantinople as the capital of what is called the Latin Empire, which it remained, until the Byzantines managed to recapture it in 1264. The Byzantine Empire never really recovered from this, though it held on for almost another 200 years.
