Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in the world.

The so-called "Byzantine Empire" was a continuation of the Roman Empire. The term Byzantine was coined by a German historian in the 16th century in relation to the history of the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire (Historia Byzantina). The eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part. The terms Byzantine and Byzantine Empire became common in Western Europe in the 19th century. The people in question did not know these terms and called their empire Roman Empire or Empire of the Romans (Imperium Romanum or Imperium Romanorum in Latin and Basileia ton Rhomaion or Arche ton Rhomaion in Greek), or Roman Realm (Romania in Latin and Rhomania in Greek).

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into Constantine the Great's imperial capital and renamed after himself as Constantinople (City of Constantine) in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west

The poorer citizens ate a lot of salt pork and cabbage. they used figs and walnuts as starter meals.. and used simple sauces made with vinger and honey or with vinegar and oil. On a relate note.. they are also thought to be the inventor of the fork :)

The Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire. This has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part (in continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The so-called "Byzantines" did not even know this term. They called their empire Imperium Romanum , Imperium Romanorum (Empire of the Romans) , or Romania in Latin or or Basileia Rhomaion, Arche ton Rhomaion or Rhomania , which were the same terms in Greek. The Term Romania was not related to the country which was later called Romania (it means land of the Romans).

The term Byzantine was chosen by a German historian in the 16th century as a derivation from Byzantium, a Greek city which evolved into a Roman city under Roman rule and which was then redeveloped, turned into an imperial capital and renamed Constantinople (City of Constantine) by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, this part of the empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the western part. Both the terms Byzantine and Byzantine Empire became common in Western Europe in the 19th century.

During the time of the Islamic Prophet, Muhammad(Pbuh). A messenger was send to the Byzantine Emperor inviting him and the rest of the empire to join the Religion of Islam claiming it to be the final religion from God. They have killed the messenger. As back then and even today the custom amongst all nations was that you do not kill messengers for that is an open indication of war.

War started between the early Muslims from Arabia and the Byzantines but no conflict occurred. There was a time when the Prophet Muhammad moved his forces up north but they did not meet the Byzantines.

It is only After the Prophets death that a new Caliph (Successor to the prophet in leading the people ) was elected by the companions of the prophet and some helping tribes, the man becoming the Caliph was the best friend of The Prophet Known as Abu-Bakr. After successfully reconquering Arabia within 2 years Abu-Bakr had passed away and a new Caliph Umar-Ibn-Al Khattab came to authority. He was said to be a very powerful leader. They did not forget the time when the messenger was killed. But now with all of Arabia under Islam they were powerful enough to fight their enemies. Both the Byzantines and the sassanid Persians.

Conflict kept going until the rise of the Ottoman Empire who had finished what started years ago by taking over Constantinople. In Europe Islam was seen as a threat to Christianity so it was obvious to both sides that peace can not be attained and well as every Empire wanted to grow in land the Ottomans controlling most of the Muslim lands knew the best way to grow is to the west where their enemies are. And that is how Islam got in to conflict with Europe.

Yes, the Byzantine empire did have some blinding cultures.

byzantine/eastern roman empire had many enemies

the main enemies were

sassanids

arabs

lombards

ottomans

seljuks

bulgarians

slavs

and crusades

but I would give the number 1 greatest enemy of byzantine empire to the arabs

when byzantines and persians made a peace treaty after the byzantines defeated the persians and restored their lost lands

no body would have expect the small group of tribes to fight both super powers at the same time

the first islamic empire rashidun caliphate weakened the empire even more than what the sassanid persia did to them

the arabs expanded the borders in levant and persia very fast

compared to sassanids

they took all middle east cyprus and africa from the byzantines and destroyed the sassanid empire fully

the most important battle in byzantine arab wars was battle of yarmouk were 200 thousand byzantines fought against 40 thousand arabs led by khalid ibn al walid one of the greatest generals in history

it was the beginning of the byzantine dark ages

even after rashidun was replaced by umayyads it was still bad for them

the umayyads tried to siege constatantinople 5 times and they all failed

the 2nd great enemy of byzantines were the sassanids

before the arab conquest that weakend the empire allot

the eastern romans werent crumbling during the war with the sassanids and they had a very long war with each other

why I didnt put the ottomans or the seljuks is because they were fighting the crumbling byzantine empire at that time

alexios I komnenos

it was a blend of indian and chinese cultures

The Byzantine Empire did not spread. This is a term which had been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. At the beginning this so-called Byzantine Empire had already reached it greater extent. In included Egypt, in north Africa, modern Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, western Jordan, Syria and Turkey in Asia and much of the Balkan Peninsula in south-eastern Europe. It then gradually lost its territories to the Arabs, the Slavs and the Turks.

The 1920s in Japan are referred to as the Taisho Democracy period. The legislature had gained significant powers from the Imperial council, the Genro, by using their authority over the governmental budget. The number of political parties had increased.

The right to vote was expanded beyond landholders to all adult males age 20 and over, but communism was largely outlawed by the Peace Preservation Law that followed (espousing communism remained illegal until the US demanded the rescinding of the law during the post WWII occupation).

It was also a period where different western philosophies and literature styles entered the country, as well as some attitudes regarding society.

There were several attempts by Muslim armies to conquer Constantinople before Ottoman Muslim Sultan Mehmet II el-Fatih (the Conqueror) overran the city's defenses in 1453. The Muslims were unable to conquer Constantinople in those attacks because of how well the city is fortified. The Old City of Constantinople is on a small peninsula and the city walls went right up to the water. This meant that no siege weaponry could be used on three sides of the city. Correspondingly, the only land-border of the city was extremely well-fortified and developed. Additionally, since the land border was west-facing, it would require the Muslims, who were generally coming from the east, to move around the city's north or south face and given the defenders of the city enough time to prepare an effective defense.

Yes, yes it was. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople. (I highly doubt it will ever go back. Constantinople got the works, and it was no one's business but the Turks.)

On May 29th, 1453, Byzantium (Greek)- which was then Constantinople (Roman), was captured by the Turkish Sultan Mahmud II. then it became Constantinople.
