Did the byzantine empire decline before od after Islam spead?

The Arab conquest of Byzantine Syria, Phoenicia (Lebanon), Palestine and Egypt contributed the decline of the Byzantine Empire. So did the conquest of much of what is now Turkey by the Seljuk Turks and the conquest of much of the Balkan Peninsula (southeastern Europe) by the Slavs. The Arabs and the Turks were and still are Muslims.


Who took control of the byzantine empire in 1071?

In 1071, control of the Byzantine Empire was significantly challenged following the Battle of Manzikert, where the Seljuk Turks, led by Sultan Alp Arslan, defeated the Byzantine army. This defeat led to the loss of much of Anatolia to the Turks and marked the beginning of a decline in Byzantine power. The Byzantine Emperor at the time, Romanos IV Diogenes, was captured, further weakening the empire's authority and territory.


Did the Byzantine empire decline before or after Islam spread-?

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.


What empires controlled the land before the Ottoman empire?

What happened to the commoners who fought the Seljuk Turks?

It is unclear who is meant by "the commoners". If the question is referring to the indigenous population of Anatolia, that initially resisted the Seljuk incursions from what is now Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, these people were absorbed into the Seljuk Empire. Under Seljuk and Ottoman Occupation, these people who were originally Byzantine citizens, began to identify as Turks, speak Turkish as their native language, practice Sunni Islam instead of Orthodox Christianity. This Anatolian population remains to this day and constitutes the majority of the current Turkish population. Of course, there were those former Byzantine citizens who had unique identities that were not lost under Seljuk conquest, such as the Armenians and the Kurds.

Why was the invasion of the Byzantine empire by the Seljuk Turks significant?

The invasion of the Byzantine Empire by the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century was significant because it marked a pivotal shift in power dynamics in the eastern Mediterranean. The Seljuk victory at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 led to the fragmentation of Byzantine authority, paving the way for the rise of Turkish states in Anatolia. This invasion not only weakened Byzantine control but also contributed to the decline of Christian influence in the region, ultimately setting the stage for the Crusades and the eventual rise of the Ottoman Empire.
