Byzantine Empire

High pressures are involved, so there is a high risk of an explosion.

as all empires of that era are destined to fall, the Byzantines would fall right after it great conquest and economy collapse only to be save by the next empire.

The Byzantine Empire was formed from the remains of the roman empire. Constantine the Great became Emperor of what was left of the Roman Empire in around 324 ad/ce. He moved the capitol of the Empire from Rome, which was basically in ruins having been continuously sacked by barbarians, to Byzantium which he renamed Constantinople in 330ad/ce. This marked the beginning of what we call the Byzantine Empire, though at the time they still considered it the Roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire lasted 1123 years and 18 days(Philip Mansel). It went through periods of prosperity war expansion more war and then disintegration like all other empires and in 1453 the city of Constantinople was all that was left of the Byzantine empire. The territory it used to hole had long since been lost or fallen to the Ottomans, a nomadic Muslim people whose leader, the Sultan, was descendant from Osman(a great conquerer and leader). The Ottomans conquered Constantinople under the leadership of young Sultan Mehmet II in 1453 and this dynasty reigned till the collapse of the empire in the early 1900's. At this point the modern state of Turkey was formed and Constantinople had its name changed to Istanbul.

There was just one rebellion against Justinian I (or the Great), the Nika riots.They were probably caused by popular anger about new taxes and by Justinian's autocratic style of rule. As the riots developed, they were manipulated by members of the aristocracy who were opposed to Justinian. They, were unhappy about Justinian's lack of support for the aristocracy, some reforms which strengthened his power and the new taxes, but also about the. The rioters demanded the dismissal of John the Cappadocian, the chief minister of state, who had introduced the new taxes and Tibonian, who had been part of a commission which had compiled a new legal code (the Codex Justinianus) and was had been put in charge compiling and harmonizing the writings of classical Roman jurists which was going to shorten litigation (by clarifying the law), and provide textbooks for the law schools. They then proclaimed, Hypatius, a nephew of former Emperor Anastasius I, as emperor. Hypatius had not wanted to rebel. He was connected by marriage to the Anicii, an aristocratic clan Justinian considered fleeing Constantinople, but his wife Theodora persuaded him to fight and he deployed the imperial troops against the rioters. About thirty thousand rioters were reportedly killed.

These riots were based on the four factions (teams) which contested the chariot races, the Blues, the Reds, the Greens, and the Whites. These races were very popular and most peoples supported one of them. These factions had become the focus of social, political and theological issues as they were the only outlet through which dissent or grievances could be voiced. Political factions and street gangs became associated with the factions of he races and which were backed by aristocratic families of Constantinople. They often used to press political demands and to try to influence the policies of the emperors. In this period only the Blues and the Greens held political influence. Justinian supported the Blues and his opponents supported the Greens.

In 531 some members of the Blues and Greens were arrested for murder in connection with deaths that occurred during rioting after a recent chariot race. Most of them were hanged. In January 532 a member of the Blues and one of the Greens escaped and took refuge in a church. The church was surrounded by an angry crowd. Faced with the possibility of major unrest in the city, Justinian scheduled a chariot race to be held three days later and commuted the sentences to imprisonment. At the race the crowd shouted insults at Justinian. By the end of the day the crowd stopped supporting either the Blues or the Greens and shouted about a unified Nika! (Win!), and attacked the imperial palace, which was besieged for five days. During the riots fires destroyed much of the city.

The main accomplishment of Christianity is to make it to the kingdom of light. And to win people into the Kingdom of light.

It was Emperor Constantine I . The reason he moved from Rome to Byzantium, was because Rome was tainted with Pagan Traditions. He renamed the city Constantinople, in honor of himself.

Vladimir the Great, prince of Novgorod, grand prince of Kiev, and ruler of Kievan Rus' from 980 to 1015, converted from paganism to Orthodox Christianity, the religion of the Byzantine Empire, established the Orthodox Church in the Rus' and Christianized his lands.

The Byzantine Empire fell when the capital city of Constantinople, now Istanbul, was captured by the Turks in 1453. The Turks took Constantinople as their new capital, and the territories of the Byzantine Empire then became part of the Ottoman Empire.

The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern side of the Roman Empire, centered on Constantinople. At its core were Greece and the Anatolian Peninsula, but the Empire also included Italy, Egypt, North Africa, the Middle East, Southern Spain, and Bulgaria during the course of its existence.

They competed with the Byzantines in order to trade with Asia. They were successful and ended up gaining positions in the Empire.

The Christianity of the western part of the Roman Empire was originally called Western or Latin Christianity. Later it came to be called the Catholicism.

in what? in like itself?

When the Romans money lost its's value, many Romans began to barter. The money lost it's value because less gold was brought it, so less gold was made into the money.
