The Crusades, particularly the Fourth Crusade, significantly weakened the Byzantine Empire by diverting attention and resources away from its defense against external threats. The sack of Constantinople in 1204 not only devastated its economy and infrastructure but also fractured its political unity, leading to the loss of territories and diminished authority. This internal strife and the establishment of Latin rule weakened Byzantine power, making it more vulnerable to later conquests, notably by the Ottomans. Ultimately, the Crusades accelerated the decline of an already struggling empire.
