The fall of the Byzantine Empire was primarily due to a combination of internal strife and external pressures. Internally, political instability, economic troubles, and power struggles weakened the central authority, leading to civil wars and corruption.

Additionally, the loss of critical territories diminished resources and strategic advantages, contributing to its eventual collapse.
