What emperor moved the capital of Rome to the city of Byzantium?
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine). Contrary from it is sometimes though, he did not move the capital from Rome. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, who designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey, not far from Byzantium) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.
Did Baghdad become the capital of the Byzantine Empire?
I believe this is false. If your in AOA, you should look at your previous lessons for the answer, unless of course your in a test.

What was the effect of the eastern orthodoxy schism?
Catholic Answer
The Great Schism in Catholic terminology (there is no "Roman Catholic" Church) refers to the time in the fourteen century was there was more than one claimant to the Papal throne. The Schism with the Orthodox Church is referred to as the Eastern Schism. The one lasting effect of the Eastern Schism is that the Eastern Church has been cut off from the rest of Christianity for over a millenium now. Each Eastern Rite split into two during the Eastern Schism so that now there is a Greek Uniate Rite, and a Greek Orthodox Church, and so on for the other Eastern Rites. Pope Benedict referred to this as the Church trying to breath on one lung. As the Modernist heresy worses and the secularization of the world becomes more breakneck, the Church must come back together to face the world united and to bring Christ to the world, which is so desperately in need of Him right now.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957
The Schism of the East the estrangement and severance from the Holy See of what is now called the Orthodox Eastern Church was a gradual process extending over centuries. After a number of minor schisms the first serious, though short, break was that of Photius; from then on tension between East and West increased, and the schism of Cerularius occurred in 1054. From then on the breach gradually widened and has been definitive since 1472. There was a formal union from the 2nd Council of Lyons in 1274 until 1282, and a more promising one after the Council of Florence from 1439 to 1472. After the capture of Constantinople it was in the Turkish interest to reopen and widen the breach with the powerful Roman church; the patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were dragged into this policy, Russia and the Slav churches stood out the longest of any: none of these churches, except Constantinople itself in 1472, formally and definitely broke away from the unity of the Church. But in the course of centuries the schism has set and crystallized into a definite separation from the Holy See of many million people with a true priesthood and valid sacraments. The origins, causes and development of the schism are matters of much complication, still not fully unraveled.
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Separation of the Christian Churches of the East from unity with Rome. The schism was centuries in the making and finally became fixed in 1054, when the Patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularisu (died 1059), was excommunicated by the papal legates for opposing the use of leavened bread by the Latin Church and removing the Pope's name from the diptychs or list of persons to be prayed for in the Eucharistic liturgy. A temporary reunion with Rome was effected by the Second Council of Lyons (1274) and the Council of Florence (1439) but never stabilized.

Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in the world.
Was the byzantine empire and the roman empire in the same place?
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

How did the Byzantine empire preserve the political heritage of Rome?
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.
How did Islam spread from the Byzantine Empire?
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.

Who are enemies of the Byzantine empire?
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

Why were the Muslims unable to conquer Constantinople?
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.
