which of the following was the main was the main reason that constantinople was a good location for the capital of the Byzantine

Alex Ar [27]

Byzantium was never a city-state of great influence like that of Athens, Corinth or Sparta, but the city enjoyed relative peace and steady growth as a thriving commercial city lent by its prominent position.

The site was astride the land route from Europe to Asia and the sea route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and was in the Golden Horn. An excellent and wide port.

Already then, in the Greek and early times of Rome, Byzantium was famous for its strategic geographical position that made siege and capture difficult, and its position at the crossroads of the Asian-European trade route on land and as the gateway between the Mediterranean and the Black Seas, they turned it into a settlement too valuable to be abandoned.

Alja [10]

The correct answer is "accepting converts to Islam".

They were the first that started creating a universal Islam identity instead of just catering to the needs of Arabs. Many non-arabic persons started speaking Arabic languages and the spread of the Arabian culture had many people convert to Islam.

Which of the following emerged in Western Europe in large part as a reaction to the diplomatic exchanges exemplified in the pass

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: An increased European awareness of important cultural, political, and economic developments in Eastern Asia

Explanation:

William Rubrick was a monk that had been sent by the French King Louis IX to spread Christianity to the Mongol empire which at the time was under the Great Khan, Möngke Khan.

William was very articulate and documented his trip in great detail from Geographic to Socio-economic developments that he encountered. When he reached Karakorum which was the Mongol capital at the time, his detail of the city provided one of the most detailed accounts of it.

It can therefore be said that exchanges such as these helped the people of Western Europe find out more about the cultural, political, and economic developments in Eastern Asia.

The excerpt in question is;

"The next day (25th May) (the Chan) sent his secretaries to me, who said: ‘Our lord sends us to you to say that you are here Christians, Saracens [Muslims] and Tuins. And each of you says that his doctrine is the best, and his writings—that is, books—the truest. So he wishes that you shall all meet together, and make a comparison, each one writing down his precepts, so that he himself may be able to know the truth.’ Then I said: ‘Blessed be God, who put this in the Chan’s heart. But our Scriptures tell us, the servant of God should not dispute, but should show mildness to all; so I am ready, without disputation or contention, to give reason for the faith and hope of the Christians, to the best of my ability.’ They wrote down my words, and carried them back to him. Then it was told the Nestorians that they should look to themselves, and write down what they wished to say, and likewise to the Saracens [Muslims], and in the same way to the Tuins.”
