Northern Italy was invaded by the Lombards sixteen years later, southern Spain was retaken by the Visigoths seventy-two years later and Tunisia, eastern Algeria, Tunisia and western Libya were taken over by the Arabs 130 year later. The rest of the Byzantine possessions in Italy, apart from some coastal areas in the south, were taken over by the Franks 220 years later.

Why did the capture of Constantinople by the Ottomans mark the end of the byzantine empire when Constantinople was captured by Venice before during the Fourth Crusade?
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.
