Okay, before I answer, next time, LISTEN in class.Answer:It was difficult for the Byzantine Empire to hold onto Justinian's conquest because there wasn't enough money, and he had conquered to much, too quickly.-Anonymous

The Eastern Roman Empire. It became the Byzantine empire after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
The Byzantine Empire declined after Islam spread. The words "Islam spread" are nebulous. If the question is referring to the Rise of Islam period, when Mohammed and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were spreading Islam, then yes, the Byzantine Empire decline after these events. If, however, you are referring to the Seljuk and Ottoman conquests of Anatolia nearly 600 years later which eventually ended the Byzantine Empire, the Empire was in decline long before these armies trampled the Byzantines to the ground. The answer is more complex than the above answers would purport. See the link below for another relevant answer.

The Capital of the Byzantine Empire was originally called Byzantium before being renamed as Constantinople (which was its name during its control by the Byzantine Empire) and renamed by Ottomans as Istanbul afterwards. Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine empire
it was Orthodox Christianity which had developed in the eastern part of the Roman Empire before its Byzantine period.
It was known, while it existed, simply as the Roman Empire. In order to distinguish it from the Western Roman Empire, historians have taken to calling it the Byzantine Empire. This name refers to Byzantium, which was the original name of the city of Constantinople, the Eastern Roman Empire's capitol.
The Byzantine Empire did not recover from the fall of Constantinople to the Turks because the Turks were a strong local power which captured all of the remaining byzantine territory. Whereas the 4th Crusaders were few in number after they divided up the empire and they only captured part of the Byzantine Empire, the remainder of the Empire split into independent Byzantine powers, one of which the Empire of Nicaea eventually recaptured Constantinople and restored the Byzantine Empire.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Constantine I founded the Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire, on the shores on the Bosporus, in the city of Byzantium, which He renamed Constantinople after himself, in the year of 327 AD .
