Constantinople thrived especially when the western portion of the Roman Empire fell. It served as perhaps the most advanced part of Europe at that time, as Western Europe was in complete chaos. Western Europe had been controlled by the Roman Empire for nearly 1,000 years and the Empire just fell. This is what forced Europe into the Dark Ages, where Europeans lived in fear and barely left their home. It also prevented Western Europe from advancing. Meanwhile, in the surviving eastern portion of the Roman Empire, or now called the Byzantine Empire, the people were thriving, especially those in the capital, Constantinople. Nothing was preventing this empire from advancing, and that's just what it did. The Byzantine Empire went on to rule for another 1,000 years!
