History
1 answer:
Katyanochek1 [597]3 years ago
6 0

Answer : It was on a major trade route between Europe and Asia. Constantinople, the Empire's capital, was one of the main hubs of the Silk Road (a major trade route spanning much of Asia), as well as being located on the Bosporus, the only sea route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Explanation:As for the other options:

1) It was not on an island, the empire mostly spanned Greece and Turkey. Its location was not unknown by its enemies either, the Byzantines were frequently attacked by Muslim emirates and kingdoms in modern-day Bulgaria and Serbia.

2) It was not surrounded by many friendly nations, the empire was at war with enemies on both sides of its frontier for much of its history - the main religion was Greek Orthodoxy, so neighbouring Catholic and Islamic states wanted to conquer it.

3) It did not control almost all the area of the former Roman Empire, it only controlled parts of the eastern section of the Roman Empire. The only exception to this was during the reign of the Emperor Justinian, who succeeded on conquering a large chunk of the western half. However, these territories were soon lost after his death.

Explanation:

Introduction

When empires fall, they tend to stay dead. The same is true of government systems. Monarchy has been in steady decline since the American Revolution, and today it is hard to imagine a resurgence of royalty anywhere in the world. The fall of the Soviet bloc dealt a deathblow to communism; now no one expects Marx to make a comeback. Even China's ruling party is communist only in name.

There are, however, two prominent examples of governing systems reemerging after they had apparently ceased to exist. One is democracy, a form of government that had some limited success in a small Greek city-state for a couple of hundred years, disappeared, and then was resurrected some two thousand years later. Its re-creators were non-Greeks, living under radically different conditions, for whom democracy was a word handed down in the philosophy books, to be embraced only fitfully and after some serious reinterpretation. The other is the Islamic state.

From the time the Prophet Muhammad and his followers withdrew from Mecca to form their own political community until just after World War I—almost exactly thirteen hundred years—Islamic governments ruled states that ranged from fortified towns to transcontinental empires. These states, separated in time, space, and size, were so Islamic that they did not need the adjective to describe themselves. A common constitutional theory, developing and changing over the course of centuries, obtained in all. A Muslim ruler governed according to God's law, expressed through principles and rules of the shari'a that were expounded by scholars. The ruler's fulfillment of the duty to command what the law required and ban what it prohibited made his authority lawful and legitimate.
