It's the matter of Authorities' strength.

The Western World was blown up from inside, there was no just one great ruler.

Barbarian kingdoms within Western Empire started to rise up against Rome.

Also the role of Bishops of the City of Rome (Popes) increased, when Emperors' position were sloping down.

The Eastern World was internally consolidated due to the Islamic thread. One strong emperor was not merely sign of state power but also, not officially, a head of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

One reason the Byzantine Empire outlived the Western Roman Empire was that .?

What was the main reason the byzantine empire converted from Christianity to Islam?

The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).


What was the ultimate impact of the exploits or feats of Belisarius for the Byzantine Empire?

"During the reign of Justinian I, the empire reached the height of its power," and it was all because of who? Belisarius. If it wasn't for his "exploits," or what I consider to be killing sprees, under the rule of Justinian I, the Byzantine empire wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.The reason why they set out on these expeditions was to conquer western Roman territory, not the overall impact of their efforts. The answer islong-term dominance of the Byzantine Empire.


How byzantine was a legacy of the western roman Europe?

There is not a Byzantine legacy to western Roman Europe. The reason for this is explained in the paragraph below. If anything, there was a degree of legacy to medieval Western Europe. Byzantine art was influential in medieval Italy and some other parts of Western Europe. Contact with the Byzantines in the First Crusade contributed to the development of Romanesque architecture, which was the predominant type of architecture in Western Europe in the 10th and 11th centuries. The capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 led to Greek scholars fleeing to Italy. They taught Greek and classical Greek science, philosophy and literature, and thus created an interest in ancient Greece. Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. This part of the empire was not Catholic. Its religion was Orthodox Christianity.
