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.)

Religion was a major contributor to the Byzantine Empire Because it shaped the culture and the military. but on the the hand it also divided the nation because there were Christian's, Jews and Muslims a ticking time bomb I'd say.

In the greatest way, it was when the ottoman empire finally conquered Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantines) all the men of science, art, and learning fled to the west (primarily Italy) along with many refugees. With their learning they sparked the Renaissance establishing European cultures as the most advanced and powerful for centuries to come. In addition Rome (Byzantines as the were in fact Rome) shielded the greater part of Europe from mongol and ottoman invasion for centuries allowing Western culture to form with out being smothered by barbarians or religious zealots with huge armies. They probably did help in many more ways than these, but these are probably most important

Political and cultural differences, as well as doctrinal issues was the cause of the split between the eastern and western halves of the Christian Church.

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 term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great 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.
