Answer: The influence of Byzantium on the countries of Eastern Europe.
Explanation:
Byzantium had a significant influence on the countries of Eastern Europe. This impact has affected all segments of society. In the political sense, the result is reflected in some aspects of the organization of government. The centralized government and strong personality of the rulers are evident in Eastern Europe's rulers as well. In the economic system, certain elements related to taxes were taken over by Eastern European countries, and the method of collecting individual taxes was the same. The most significant influence was in art, architecture, culture, and religion. Many countries took the Cyrillic alphabet from the Byzantines, the architectural style also, and these elements are evident today. After the church schism in 1054, many countries took over Orthodoxy as the official religion from Byzantium.
