5 0

<span>There's one thing that EVERYBODY failed to mention here as to the REAL reason why TL's were "chosen" over other breeds: because they were the ONLY breed available in such large numbers to even be "used" for cattle drives!! They were NOT chosen over other breeds, they were the only type of cattle or "breed" available at that time. All the other breeds in New England were in far too small of numbers to be considered worthy and were only found in New England, not the Western and Southern portion of the United States!

THAT is why TLs were "used" for cattle drives. They were the only available stock that could be shipped north and east to meet the outcry demand for beef since the rest of the beef herd and nearly run dry during the Civil War.</span>

Which empire conquered the byzantines and held sway over the middle east for nearly 500 years?

pantera1 [17]

The answer is the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire conquered the Byzantine Empire and its capital, Constantinople, in 1453 CE. Since then, the Ottoman Empire remained as a strong power and its sovereignty spanned from the Balkans and Anatolia to the Middle East and all of North-Africa. Since it was an Islamic empire, it influenced strongly in the culture and politics of the Middle East. This empire collapsed with the end of the World War I in 1919, and most of its former territories were divided by the British and the French or formed new nation-states. The Republic of Turkey is the direct heir state of the Ottoman Empire.
