Byzantine Empire

It was in a valuable location for trade and military because it was located right next to the sea. It controlled the sea route between the Black Sea and The Mediterranean and the trade routes went from Europe to the East, which went straight or by them.

It was still called Constantinople by some, but The Turks called It Istanbul. The name is derived from Greek: εις την Πόλιν which means in the city. The Turks hear it as Istanbul and the name stuck.

Most people in the Byzantine Empire spoke Greek. Latin was the language of government until the reign of Heraclius (Heraklios) I in the early Seventh Century A.D., when it was officially changed to Greek as well.

I can name 2: Manuel Comnenus and Alexius Comnenus they were leaders during the first and 2nd crusades

there is none, but you might be thinking of an aqueduct.

Correction: there are many Roman "things" that start with Q. Here are some: quadra--a square, quadrans, a coin, quadrigae, a racing chariot, quaestor, a treasury official, qualus, as wicker basket, quercus, the military crown of oak leaves, and quirites, the formal connotation of Roman citizens. There are many more.

The exports were lollipops and gumdrops. Some say that the first phones too.

It was also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire.

Theodora did have a lot of good impacts to the Byzantine Empire, some of which include:

1. The fact that she told Justinian to crush the Nika Rebellion instead of running away.

2. She aided in many of Justinian's choices or decisions.

3. She led to women owning land.

4. She gave a new meaning to the word, "Empress" since she was helping Justinian rule.

4. She gave rights to women.

He was one of the first generations of Byzatine Christians. When Constantinople was being invaded, the leadership of he and his wife helped protect the city. If they were conquered, it would have affected the present greatly

The Byzantine Empire declined after the reign of Justinian I due to the over-stretching of the fiscal capabilities of the government. The lack of funding and the massive amount of money already spent on conquests quickly caused the immediate withdrawal of the majority of troops by his successor. However, by this time of Treasury of the Empire was already nearly empty.

women and men had equal rights

they had a good military system and could take over land for food money or what ever they pleased. they went corrupt later in the empire because generals were starting to fight for power and then they split.which made it easier for enemy to take over.

However, particularly Syria and Egypt they mostly followed different sects of Christianity from their rulers in Constantinople, who felt it their duty to harass and even persecute these sects.

This is only a brief answer, but women were treated much better under Lenin once he had come into power. They were given equal rights in the work place, and divorce became much easier. But when Stalin came into power he effectively eradicated divorce, he wanted to put more emphasis on happy families. Even with all of this the respect of women barely changed....In a book it says "I thought I saw a person on the darkness, but I was mistaken. It was only a women" (dont quote me on this)

The size of the Byzantine Empire varied. Originally it included areas which now are Southern Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece in the Balkan Peninsula in Europe; Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine in Asia; and Egypt and eastern Libya in North Africa.

The emperor Justinian the Great (reigned 527-65) wanted to recover the lands lost by the fallen western part of the Roman Empire and succeeded in taking much of Italy, the coastal area of Croatia (Dalmatia), Tunisia western Libya, eastern Algeria and part of southern Spain.

After this the Byzantines lost territories. They lost most of mainland Italy to the Lombards (568-72). The territories in southern Spain were completely lost by 624. The territories south of Turkey in Asia and Egypt were lost to the Arabs (636-642). At the same The Slavs overrun the Balkan Peninsula, including much of Greece. The Byzantines managed to recover most of Greece, but not the rest of the Balkans. The Arabs took over the rest of North Africa between 647 and 670. The Byzantine territories in central Italy (the Exarchate of Ravenna) were lost to the Lombards in 751. Sicily was taken over by the Saracens in 827-902. Sardinia was lost to local lords soon afterwards. In 923 The Byzantines ceded the cities in Dalmatia which they controlled to the Kingdom of Croatia. Apulia (the heel of Italy) by was conquered by the Normans in 1059.

The Seljuk Turks invaded most of the area of present day Turkey in 1068 and broke Byzantine resistance in 1071. Finally the Ottoman Turks conquered the remaining Byzantine territories in Europe and then captured Constantinople in 1453.

Justinian is considered to be one of the greatest Byzantine emperors due to his many contributions to Byzantine society, including the Justinian Code of Law and architectural additions such as the Hagia Sophia.

Ottoman empire was ruled by monarchs. Only one family ruled the Ottoman Empire and was the longest-ruling dynasty in history. It was a kind of absolute monarchy, not a democracy. During the Tanzimat Reforms, which occurred in the latter Ottoman Period (after 1839), Ottomans were trying make reforms for democracy. Since 1923, Ottomans lost their rule and Turkish Republic was founded.

As a general note, if something has the term "Empire" after its name, its usually not a democracy.

It changed it by changing it.

The cause of the lost civilization empires of Mesopotamia is the unrest and fighting between the Sassanids and the Romans. When the Sassanids rules they neglected Mesopotamia and allowed the rivers Tigris and Euphrates to go unchecked. The basic principles of mathematics and astronomy, Maltese cross, coronation of kings and the tree of life have their roots in Mesopotamia.

The Justinian Code

He thought people were worshiping icons instead of god, and in the 10 commandments it says there is only on God! It was ordered to destroy images of Mary, Jesus and the saints to comply.
