The Byzantine Empire didn't collapse overnight. It bled out over centuries.
Constant warfare with Persians, Arabs, and later Turks drained their resources.
The Fourth Crusade in 1204 was devastating. Western Christians sacked Constantinople, their own Christian
allies, splitting the empire into fragments. They never fully recovered.
Then came the Ottomans. They started as a small Turkish tribe in Anatolia around 1299,
founded by Osman. While other Turkish states fought each other, the Ottomans focused
outward, conquering Byzantine territories piece by piece. They were brilliant
strategists, absorbing Greek, Persian, and Arab military tactics.
