During the Crusades, the Byzantine Empire was a crucial player, particularly in the First Crusade (1096-1099). The empire, under Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, sought military assistance from the West to reclaim lost territories from the Seljuk Turks. However, as the Crusades progressed, relations between the Byzantine Empire and the Western Crusaders became strained, leading to tensions and conflicts, notably during the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204), which culminated in the sack of Constantinople in 1204, severely weakening the empire.

How did the Crusades affect the Byzantine Empire?

The crusades, originally intended to save the Byzantine Empire, among other things, failed to do this and hastened its decline instead. The crusaders sacked Byzantine cities and eventually captured Constantinople in 1204. They then used Constantinople as the capital of what is called the Latin Empire, which it remained, until the Byzantines managed to recapture it in 1264. The Byzantine Empire never really recovered from this, though it held on for almost another 200 years.
