What was the role of the Ottoman Empire in decline of Byzantium?
The Ottomans had over time conquered almost all the Byzantine territory that is now present-day Turkey. In this way they had gradually deprived Byzantium of most of its sources of manpower for its armies, of easily obtainable food supplies for the city of Byzantium, and of most of its tax revenue. The city of Byzantium that they finally conquered, was only half-populated, dirt poor and protected by only a very small force. It was mostly the ancient giant walls that still kept out the Ottomans for some time.

Additionally, the Ottoman Empire brought Eritrea and Djibouti into an Islamic Empire for the first time.

Why was the ottoman empire so powerful?
Even though they were Turks, the Ottoman Empire never called themselves Turks. They opened the doors to whomever wanted to serve the empire. They gathered the smartest population for 600 years and ruled large portions of the world. Ottomans were not cruel towards the countries that they conquered. They did not make foreign people slaves or force them to be Muslims, although non-Muslims within the Empire paid additional taxes and were excluded from some activities. The Ottoman Empire was the best organized Turkish empire ever. Before the Ottomans, there were many Turkish states or empires; however, they were not as successful as the Ottomans.
