What are three ways Constantinople's location was beneficial to the Byzantine empire ?

History
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
5 0

Attacking Constantinople by sea was difficult. The strong currents of the Bosporus endangered hostile fleets without shelter. Meanwhile the Golden Horn served as a perfect harbour for the Byzantines in war and peace. During times of war, it sheltered friendly ships. At the same time it allowed Constantinople to receive supplies by sea to withstand long sieges. 

The only landward route to the city lay on its western side. Countless hosts of bloodthirsty enemies approached from this front in the hopes of taking the city. But the land walls of Constantinople continually thwarted their efforts until 1453. In 1453, the Ottomans, relying heavily on gunpowder and cannons managed to breach the ancient walls and overwhelmed the defenders.

What is the main reason the US civil war starteed
dalvyx [7]
The Civil War started because of the uncompromising differences between free and slave states. Many states in the South (slave states) wanted to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and looked at other factors like, taxation and the principle of states rights. The moral issue and economics of slavery are the main cause of the bloodiest conflict in North American history.
