| Description: | This study focuses on the role of the religious factors in the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire during 1054-1453 C.E. The main objective of the study is to detail out the impact of communal conflict in the above-mentioned event and its consequences on the relations with other Christian groups. In addition, the study aims to analyse the influence of Islamic forces in bringing about the end of the Byzantine Empire. Finally, this thesis examines external factors which contributed to the decline of the Empire. The methodology used in this study are narrative approaches of primary sources namely manuscripts, historical records and related documents and secondary sources such as books, articles and conference papers. From this study, it is concluded that conflict between different sectarian groups in Christianity played a significant role in the decline of the Byzantine Empire. Conflicts with Muslims in Anatolia, especially in the battle of Manzikert too play apart towards the decline of the Empire. The arrival of the Crusaders, particularly the fourth Crusade further aggravated the situation. Other motives, for example West European religious ambitions, attempts by Italian merchants to monopoly the Byzantine economy and the disputes, religious tumults and rivalry among members of the Byzantine dynasty that occurred during the fourteenth century were also pivotal in eroding the residual force of the Byzantine Empire. Amidst the chaos, the Ottomans were quick to join forces and establish a unified force to defeat the Byzantine with speed and ease right at the heart of the Empire hence expanding its control not only in Asia Minor but also in Europe and finally the capital, Constantinople, which for centuries was one of the strongest protected city of the Christian World in the East as well as the West.,‘Certification of Master’s/Doctoral Thesis’ is not available,Ph.D. |
